Eyeliner -Revlon - Luxurious Color Eyeliner- Velvet Black
Discod 10/12/2009 1:56:00 AM
Goes on really well, VERY easy to apply, BUT it smudges SO MUCH! :( It's really creamy and so for this reason is probably not very suitable for the way I use it - which is on my waterlines (upper & lower). It's a pity because when you first apply it, it's very dramatic, looks wonderful, very black also .... BUT that look did not last on me. In only a few hours it was SO smudged, my eyes looked a total mess as the liner had smudged all around my eyes. I've worn it 3 times too, just to make sure it was not that particular day that was the problem, and this was in Wintertime as well - but still the same result - SMUDGE SMUDGE SMUDGE. Sorry Revlon, I love your products dearly, generally, but this one is a HUGE MISS for me. :(

Eyeliner -Lancome - Le Stylo Waterproof Long Lasting eyeliner
Discod 10/12/2009 1:43:00 AM
One of the very best Eyeliners in Black (Noir) that I have ever used (and I have used many at my age! ;) ) Stays on well on the waterlines (upper & lower) and is a dream to apply. I don't use it anywhere else on my eye so can't comment for use on outer lining. It lasts very well as I generally only apply once and it's the first wind up liner (as in not a pencil) I've ever used - that's a bonus as I never need to sharpen it. It is also a definite dark Black in colour. Having said all that, as someone else here said, the lid on the liner end has split which is a negative and the smudger (which I never use) has come loose and pulls right off - which is something I did not expect from a Brand that is quite pricey. So I will deduct 1 Lippy for this reason. I wish I could give it 4.5 though as it is such a great liner. I treat my products with care and so think this should not happen as you are paying for a reasonably expensive item. Overall I think this product is excellent and easy to use/apply. I will be buying again when I run out. Oh and also need to mention that it seems to be lasting a very long time, perhaps that is because you use all of the product rather than wasting it as you do when you sharpen a pencil liner - so, that's another bonus then! :)

Mascara -Almay - One Coat Mascara (Thickening)

I keep coming back to this Mascara for 2 reasons: 1 - It does not smudge under my eyes & 2 - It's a reasonable price. I was constantly having issues with Mascaras smudging onto my Concealer under the eyes and this is the one and only Mascara (that is also reasonably priced) that I've found that does not do this under normal conditions. So, if this is an issue that you have also, and you are also on a budget, then this IS the Mascara for you :) The product also lasts a long time and does not dry out easily as I've found some other Mascaras do quite quickly once they are opened. However, if you are seeking a "false-eyelash" look, this is probably not the one for you. It's not a flashy looking Mascara, nor is the packaging it comes in, but I don't generally buy products for that reason - if they work well, then that is good enough for me :)
