Review:L'oreal Lineur Intense Brush Tip Eyeliner in Carbon Black

This is my first brush tip liquid eye liner. I usually go for felt tips because it's easier to control when applying. However, I was running low on my liquid eye liner and decided to use this opportunity to try out something different because I was curious, especially after watching Michelle Phan use this particular product.

Pros

• The Carbon Black verson is a very deep black colour, which I like on myself. If you find very dark eye liners to harsh for you then I recommend you try the regular black or the brown version.
  
• Has A LOT of product in it (7ml) compared to most liquid eye liners(2.5ml).
  
• Very easy to create a thin line as long as you have a steady hand
• Stays on all day as long as you don't rub your eyes
  
• No raccoon eyes because it flakes off instead of smudges
  

Cons

• Harder to control because it has a long wand.
  
• If you apply more after one coat has dried, it flakes off easily especially if you keep touching your eyes
• Definitely not suitable for water rides (even though Michelle Phan used it in her Theme Park Tutorial). Mine completely came off after Cliffhanger at Wonderland.

My rating 4.5/5
I would definitely buy this product again, whenever it runs out that its. That probably won't be for a very very long time.
Keep in mind that I'm not easily disappointed by products.

Review: Wet N Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner

I got this product sometime over the summer because my Annabelle liquid eyeliner ran out. The Annabelle one worked great for me, but I just wanted to try another brand so I picked up this one from Wal Mart. I usually do a bit of research on a product before I buy one, but for this one I didn't since I just came across it. Later on I looked it up on makeupalley.com and it got pretty good reviews mostly because of its lasting power. I actually did a swatch on my hand with the Wet n Wild eyeliner and one right beside it with the Annabelle one. It stayed there for a veryyy long time and it was pretty hard to remove it.

After using it for a few months my feelings about it did change mostly because of the application process.

• It has a very pointy tip which is good for detail.
• It lasts all day.
  
• If you're not careful when applying it, it makes a mess on your eyelids and it's hard to remove!
• Little drips gets caught on my eyelashes when I'm applying it and it gets hard to remove after it dries on them. I've accidentally pulled eyelashes out trying to get them off! x_X
  
• It doesn't apply on evenly.

My rating 2/5

The Annabelle one worked way better for me AND it was cheaper =P If they had a better applicator for the Wet N Wild one then I would probably love it. But I've sorta lost my patience trying to apply the eyeliner after a while! I'm still going to use it because I don't like wasting things that I've bought, but I would not buy this again.

Their creme liner got better reviews. I don't even own a creme liner yet so I wanna try it out. I haven't come across it though.

Review: Clean and Clear Night Cream

Believe it or not, but I have a list of products on my itouch that I have used and would review on my blog, when I'm bored or have nothing to blog about when I feel like blogging. So I thought I would actually go ahead and start something from there.

So I will be reviewing the Clean and Clear Soft Oil Free Moisturizer - Night.
I got this for free at some Christmas party a long time ago, but didn't start using it til a couple of months ago.

Short story. I was in the wash room and I saw this Clean and Clear daily facial scrub that was probably one of my brothers, so I thought I would give it a try just for that day. My face turned red... and stayed red. My face got all these random dry patches everywhere X_x. I swear it was like eczema on my face or something. It didn't really go away until my sister was like "Oh you should use my night cream." (which was not the Clean and Clear one by the way). It was this brand called Pur that's only at Shoppers Drug Mart and their line is a lot cheaper. The next day, there was such a big improvement on my skin! So then I thought that maybe I should use night cream often.

I decided to start using the Clean and Clear one I had at home.
It works okay for me.

• If you put too much of it on your face, it'll start rubbing off into little balls and you cannot blend it back into your skin or anything.
  
• Sometimes it burns my skin a bit after I wash my face or get out of the shower. I don't have sensitive skin.
• I sometimes get small dry patches on my cheeks and this moisturizer doesn't do that much to help it.
  
• It stings my eyes. No, I did not put it in my eye. If I put this anywhere around my eyes, they sting a bit!
• The packaging looks fine, but it looks exactly like their day moisturizer. So, that would be a problem for people who own both products in case they accidentally reach for the night one to use during the day. On the bottle for the night moisturizer, it says that it will increase the risk of sun burn if used during the day. So yeah. That sucks =]
  

I give this a 2/5? I guess. I'm not good with ratings! XD
I would definitely not buy this I can say for sure.

I think I am about over half way through the bottle. I was planning on just using all of it up and then moving back to the Pur one because I don't want to waste it even though I got it for free. Buuut I don't really want to use it anymore! lol

I guess my skin isn't very good with Clean and Clear.
