MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Industry Review + Swatch!

This is a review for MAC's powerpoint eye pencil in Industry! 

This is the newest edition to my makeup collection. I've been looking for a gray eyeliner pencil because I thought black looked too harsh on me and I wanted more definition than a brown eyeliner. (Yeah, I'm pretty picky...) haha

Anyway, I went to the MAC counter and I was swatching different gray eyeliner that they had. And I came across this one and I absolutely fell in love with the color! 

MAC has a couple of different eyeliner and formulas, I have a couple of Eye Kohls, but this is my first power point eye pencil. 

I find that the power point eye pencils to be more creamy and blendable, which I like because I like smudging the eyeliner on my upper lash line and this does a good job with that. By smudging eyeliner on the upper lash line, it gives an effortless look with a slight definition which I like.:) And once it sets, it doesn't budge!

The eyeliner is 95% matte but it has the tiniest shimmer but its basically unnoticeable. It's very creamy as I said and that's one of the key things that I look for in an eyeliner. The color is really pretty it's a solid gray rather than a silver gray or a blue gray. 

They are also good for the waterline because they stay there until I take it off. This specific eyeliner is VERY waterproof so it is nice for the upperlash line as well as the waterline. 

So, I really like this eyeliner and it's one of my favorite product now!

And, now onto the pictures and swatches!

Benefit CORALista blush review + swatches!

I feel so bad that I've haven't done a blog post in a long time!
But to make it up to y'all I'm doing one today!
Today's featured product is Benefit's CORALista blush!

I know this is more of a summery product but I still wanted to do a blog post on it because you can use any blush color in any season!

CORALista is just like the name says, a warm coral-pink color. It has slight shimmer but not at a point where it is obnoxious and that's one of the reasons I love this blush. It's subtle but it gives the perfect glow instead of shimmer. The pigmentation is really good and the texture is (oh my lord) very soft! 
This blush is very natural looking and it gives a really pretty flush of color and brightness to the face. 

The packaging is of course, adorable! The leopard or cheetah print inside and there is a slight foral scent to the blush. I really like the 'boxed' packaging because it's very unique and that's one of the many reasons I love benefit!

This works for a lot of skin tones and it's hard to overdo the blush which is a good thing :) 

So, I really love this blush as you can see and I definitely recommend it even though the price is a little hefty ($28) it's definitely worth it!

And, now onto the pictures and swatch!

Bourjois Color Exciting Eyeshadow in 36 Review + Swatch

Hello, I'm back with another review :) I apologize for not posting for a while, I have been busy with school work now that summer has ended and school has started. Although I am planning on getting in the swing of things and I'm going to try to post every week. So please keep checking back for new posts :)

Today's featured product is an eyeshadow from Bourjois.
The full name of the product is the Color Exciting Eyeshadow and the color is in 36. It's a pinky champagne neutral color. Pretty similar to Sin by Urban Decay.

The color pay off is poor and I found that it's very chalky. It has glitter rather than sparkle and it has quite a bit of fall out. (as you will see in the swatch)
The color fades very quickly on my eyes and leaves the glitter rather than the actual color. The color is very pretty but the formula is not impressive. I usually don't dislike a lot of product but this one was a big let down for me.

All in all, I would not recommend this eyeshadow. It isn't that expensive so it wasn't a HUGE regret but I probably would've bought something else with the money if I had known what the product was going to be like.

And now onto the pictures and swatchs!

Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner Review + Swatch

Hello again, this is yet again another product review :) 

I've posted a lot today but I'm on a roll! Anyway today it features a drugstore product (in the States). It is not available in Japan but I got this product while I was in California. I purchased this at Target but I'm sure it's available at other drugstores. 

The Maybelline Line Stiletto is a liquid liner which helps you create a nice line on the upper lash line. 

This product is very pigmented and it helps me create a nice crisp line on the upper lash line. As I mentioned a couple of times in my last posts (my current favorites series), I love winged out liner. It's sort of my statement look because it's so easy to create (for me, with a LOT of practice) and it looks really good. I feel like liquid liner is the best to create that kind of look because it looks good and it's really quick to do. 

As for the brush, it's a felt tip brush applicator. It's long and skinny but it doesn't taper out to a really fine tip like some Japanese liquid liners do which I thought was interesting. Although I don't find that to be a problem with me because I can still create a thin line with it.

The consistency is nice because it's not too liquidy. It also dries fast and it dries to a slightly shiny finish. Now, I'm not a big fan of that so I like to set that liquid liner with a matte black eyeshadow. I find that it lasts longer as well as giving it a more matte look which I like better.

All in all I really like this liquid liner. If you're looking for a good inexpensive liquid liner, this is the way to go.
