Sephora Kohl Pencil

Bargin Liner

I was able to pick up this at the sephora at my local mall for a great price. I believe it was only $3 because it was on sale for Black Friday. First of all I have extremely oily asian tapered double eyelids and it is almost impossible for me to find a good pencil eyeliner. I was in a desperate search for a good, fairly priced eyeliner that would be able to stand my oily lids, also my eyes do tend to water a lot due to irritation since they are sensitive, and on a side note, I yawn a lot. I have heard a lot of good things about Sephora eye liner but I was still a bit skeptical. Good thing I tried this eyeliner though, the pigmentation is great and the lasting power is quite long. I worked a double shift that was about 18 hours, and the lasting power of the eyeliner did not wear out. I was simply amazed because there was minimal creasing, also the liner was able to withstand my tearing throughout the day. The only downfall is that I really wish this product was easier to remove, but then again if i was easy to remove the staying power would be less. Anyhow, the only trouble I have with this product is the removal of it at the end of the day. I use an oil based eye makeup remover from Lancome but it does not clean the product completely unless I rub on my eye harshly. My eyes are very sensitive therefore I sometimes regret using this eyeliner because of the removal process. I do not know if it may be my remover that is causing the problems or this product. I do recommend this to others. It is still an amazing pencil eyeliner that stays put on the waterline. Good job sephora!

Philosophy Kiss Me High Emollient Lip Ointment

Kiss Me Lip Ointment

This product is amazing!!! I think I found this at my local TJ Maxx store, and it was a real steal. It was only about $5! I do believe it is more expensive if you find it in Nordstrom or Macy's, but anyhow I still think it is totally worth the price. So, beside the amazing price, the product does wonders to my lips as well. Like always, Philosophy products have always been a win in my book, they smell amazing and they have great results. If you are like me and have ridiculously chapped/damaged/intensely dry lips that are sensitive I would highly recommend this ointment. This ointment smells great, and a little does go a long way with this product. My tube is still fairly fully and I have been using this product since early december, well it doesn't sound like much but I do use this product daily. I have purchased a few back ups for this product as well, since it's just simply wonderful. This is great if you work or go to school in places that are cold/dry. Overall, just simply amazing and I do not know how else I could stress it. Please try this for yourself.

Urban Decay Shadow Box

Urban Decay Shadow box

Honestly one of the best deals I have picked up (found it at my local Nordstrom Rack) from a high end make up company. I was a bit skeptical about this box because, well obviously the colors are a bit bold and I had a hard time figuring out how to incorporate them into my daily routine. I am a big fan of Urban Decay products because they have amazing lasting power, are easy to blend, and have amazing color payoff, so naturally I like to horde makeup items during their sales. But, aside from that, this box is absolutely charming, I use the blue and greens for liner to give my eyes a pop of color, and the neutrals are saved for my everyday look to either school or work. The only thing I don't really care for are the little applicators that come with the box. I found them kind of annoying since they kept on coming out; eventually I threw them away. I sort of wish that instead of the applicators, the set came with an eyeliner or lipgloss; since that is what most of the UD sets usually come with. Overall it's a great product and I recommend this to everyone since the color variety is so great. Love this product.
