Revlon lash potion mascara REVIEW

Hello dear ladies :)
I'm very skeptical about mascaras because I have a total lack of them, but then I saw this one which claims to contain amino acids and proteins for your lashes so, why don't give it a try?

Ingredients

Ingredients cont.

Revlon lash potion mascara

Why you'd love it:
1. In my opinion, the formula it's not too dry and not too liquid, which is amazing for me due to dry mascaras are to way heavy for my tiny lashes and too liquid formulas make a mess in my eyes. So this one has got the perfect formula to work with.

2. It doesn't make my lashes look clumped when I apply 2 or 3 layers of it, and it doesn't look messy either.

3. The brush is AWESOME! now I know why the packaging says "illusionist wand"; the brush separate my lashes one by one and avoid from clumping them together.

4. Although it's not water proof, it last all day, I though It was going to flake trough the day but it didn't. It's semi water resistant, if you cry it may run out just a bit, but if you cry a river you'll look like a raccoon, so don't use it on your way out to the beach...or bipolar mood, you know, girls things.

5. Good for oily lids? yes, like a 84% good for oily lids, otherwise buy the waterproof presentation; I didn't buy it because my lashes are to weak to support heavy formulas.

6. It's worth the price, $9 for 10ml that's quite reasonable and very good quality for a drugstore makeup.

7. It doesn't smudge and it doesn't flake...oh I already said that, but, it's true:)

8. I'd say that this mascara gives you 88% lenght and 12% volume. Obviously those are my subjective and sincere opinions.
9. It's good for bottom lashes.

Here is the MAGIC WAAAND!!

Here you can see my lack of lashes and how "normal" they look with this mascara; if you're of those girls with natural long lashes or volume lashes then this mascara will do wonders for ya!

Mascara without eyeliner on.

Blimey, I wish I had those eyelashes! that's how I'd look if I had normal lashes...*sigh*

Why you'll hate this (the mascara not the pretty camel):
There's nothing till now that I hate about this mascara, maybe the fact that it runs with too much tears but that's obvious, in that case the waterproof one is better, but by now I'm only using light mascaras which won't break my fragile lashes. I reckon that you might give it a try!

Would I buy it again? Probably YES!

Physicians formula super BB concealer review.

Good morning ladies!!
I feel guilty about buying a new concealer when I already had one in good conditions...well, if you're a makeup addict-lover-obsessed like me, then you'd understand me though. I just saw this concealer and I knew I had to have it, this is such a good brand and total cruelty free; I chose the shade light/medium.

The first time I used it, this is how the brush fills up with product:

After using if for a week (making 3 clicks a day) the product begins

 to accumulate inside the container, just like the almay wakeup concealer did.

(If you want to check it out click here! --> Almay wake up concealer review)

Super BB concealer Ingredients list.

The loving things about this BB concealer:
1. The amount of product is enough for me and the price it's ok, not to expensive not to cheap, you're giving about $12 for 4g of product. Believe me, 4g it's a lot...I have the revlon photoready concealer which has 3.2g and I've been using it for about half a year and it's still full, I don't imagine how long this BB concealer would last me.

2. It's not only a concealer for the under-eye area, due to it has spf30, it can be used as a color-cream sunblock (like the BB cream) for your face or to hide minimal imperfections, like freckles or small acne scars. If you're going to the beach or having a sun bath then use this concealer along a sunscreen with SPF15 or 30 to avoid mayor sunburns, specially if you're pale-light skin.

3. It's very creamy and blendable, the texture is between liquid and creamy and it's not oily at all.

4. It's waterproof...really! I apply some in my forearm to show you guys the colour of the shade (you'll see the pictures below) and I forgot to take it off, at the end of the day, it didn't came off with water! neither soap, I had to remove it with...well yes, makeup remover lol, but finally it came off easily, so if you're going to the beach (or you love being a mermaid) this is a perfect makeup for you, it has the right amount of  SPFand it doesn't run away with salty water!

5. I like the tube :) it's cute

6. The coverage: it's good enough to hide mild/moderate undereye circles and acne scars or any discolourations on your skin; It's very very pigmented and you can build up the colour without looking cakey-face or like an umpa lumpa.

What I HATE:
1. the shade...it only comes in two shades: light/medium and medium/deep, so poor variety.
 I think I'm a light shade, not to white but still not tanned skin, and I chose the shade light/medium; I thought It was going to look very dark on my skin, but for my surprise it did match my skin tone!
If you're a bit darker than me, this concealer might work as a highlighter tool for your under eye area. If you're even lighter than me, avoid this concealer! there are more brands with more shades.

2. The smell...it smells weird, like corn or something related with food, I guess is the sunscreen.

3. The same problem with the almay wakeup concealer...product gets stuck in the tube once you click to pump the concealer, the product gets stuck below the applicator.
The brush is kind of useless thing, it's always better to blend with your fingers or an elf concealer brush, or whatever brush you like.

SWATCHES!!

Would I buy it again? ONLY IF...there would be a lighter shade, because I do love the formula and the packaging! Leave comments pleaseeeeee 

Clinique eye defining liquid liner REVIEW

Good afternoon :)
I know...this brand is not cruelty free :( but my boyfriend gave it to me due to I lost my revlon liquid liner in his home; I was beginning to love the revlon liner when suddenly I got lost...anyway, I wasn't going to say no to my BF's gift, so here I am giving you my review :)

Clinique eye defining liner

What I LOVE about this:

1.It's the perfect matte black..the revlon had a bit of vinyl finish, but this one is absolutely matte black and the pigmentation is very good.

2. I love this brush, it's not stiff, neither soft, it's flexible enough to allow me make a perfect winged look or a simple bold line. You may have trouble if you want to achieve a super fine line, in that case, better go for the physicians formula eye booster serum liner.

3. It has no parabens on the ingredients list.

4. It has a very good amount of product, 3.1g for a liquid liner is a lot! It may last up to 1 year or more even  though you use it every day, these kind of liquid liners are magical, they come in a small tube but they last so long! (sadly not in your eyes).

5. The clinique girl gave me a little gift, a small mascara (which is good) and free samples of the lotions and 

cleanser.

Ingredients list

What I HATE (and you would hate):

1. It's not waterproof...it isn't even water resistant, revlon was a bit of water resistant but this thing it's NOT. If you cry, beware...you'll look like a raccoon. You better not using it if you're on "those" sensitive days.

2. It's PRICEY...$16.50 :/ I wouldn't mind giving my almost 17 box if this eyeliner would have been waterproof or water resistant... I'll have to invite my Bf to dinner :P

3. It takes like 5-10sec to dry, otherwise it would transfer. I don't recommend this for summer, rainy weather and extreme oily eyelids.

4. IT SMUDGES EASILY! aflter 4 hours I did notice that the corner of my winged line was fading and FLAKING off, leaving the skin near my eye full of dark flakes. I hate this.

5. The formula it's too liquid, sometimes hard to work with.

WATERPROOF TEST! and swatches.

Clinique liquid liner swatch Black

 Please don't smudge...

Oh Lord...it did.

Would I buy it again? NO, never. Clinique has good products, but this thing was their worst invention. The only reason I'm keeping is because my Bf gave it to me, otherwise I would have already thrown it away.

Please leave your comment :)

Revlon colorstay liquid liner REVIEW

Hello my pretty ladies!, So I was planning to get myself a cheap liquid liner but then a saw again the almay softies and I grab the smoke one, I really liked the two I bought weeks ago (in my last review) so I'm here with another one :) First I'm gonna review the liquid liner and the the eyeshadow.

Revlon liquid liner and Almay softies

Revlon colorstay liquid liner: blackest black

Revlon liquid liner Ingredients list.

I love eyeliners...so I have always 3 kind of them, first I've got the PF shimmer strips which are 100% waterproof and smudge proof, long lasting colour and the shade black it's matte with a bit of shimmer and pure black, love them so much, but I also like to have a non-waterproof liquid liner because, sometimes I just want to take off my winged eyeliner very easily and also 'cause there are some days which I don't need my makeup to be waterproof. So, let's talk about the revlon one!
What I did like!
1. First of all, I don't like to expend a lot on a liquid liner that I know it won't be water resistant, so I decided for this revlon one, it's very cheap ($7.50) and it has the right amount of product that a I need, which is 2.5ml, that's more than enough for me.

2. I love matte eyeliners, and this one has no glossy finish at all, it's totally matte black and its pigmentation is truly black.

3. It was clear that this thing wouldn't resist too much on my lids, but for my surprise it did! after a long day, around 7pm I noticed that my winged eye line was still perfect and didn't smudge at all. Other girls may have extreme oily lids and it may fade a bit or transfer to your lower lash line, indeed I do have oily lids but I didn't noticed any sign of fading or smudging, I can assure you.

4. It removes easily with water and soap.

5.  Cry Proof-test: it may resist a little bit, and there's no need of touch ups; once again, I was surprised with the durability of this eyeliner. Remember, if you're going to cry a river then it made fade away.

6. For beign a drustore non-waterproof eyeliner, it's a very good bargain.

What I DIDN'T like:
There's only one thing I hate about this: I have to re-apply liquid liner over and over again so I can build up my winged look, that's because the felt tip of the brush is very very stiff and it doesn't allow me to create the angle I want for my winged look; another fact is that it seems that the stiff felt tip absorbs all the liquid and by the time you apply it, there will be only a few amount of product to make the first stroke.

Sorry about the notorious changes of colour in the pics, The light in my room is very tricky.

Fine lines made with the awful applicator.

After 9h wearing it, it did flake a bit in the middle.

The water-proof test is at the end :)

Would I buy it again? probably no because of the silly stiff applicator.

Almay softies: smoke

Almay softies smoke

The shades smoke and hot fudge have the same texture: creamy and soft and they are easy to apply with the finger in contrast to the texture of the creme brulée which is more powdery and harder. This shade (smoke) looks like hot fudge but they're totally different once applied into skin; the smoke shade is like a dark-gray colour with a little bit of shimmer and with purple undertones (you notice it once you apply it on your lid), quite interesting shade and I really like it, it's perfect for a slight smoky eyes look. Though it has an insignificant amount of shimmer this shade is more like a matte eyeshadow. 
The on thing you'll hate: You have to sweep the brush (or your finger) over the eyeshadow at least 10 times so you can get a slight pigmentation...yep, the pigmentation is crap as I said in my last review of the almay softies, but anyway I don't mind it, I still like the slight color but I know many girls will hate this eyeshadow. Surprisely, these shadows are very water resistant.
Would I buy this shade again? YES, this one and the cremme brulee.

Here comes...the WATER-PROOF TEST!

Revlon liquid liner swatch blackest black

Here is the waterproof test for the liquid eyeliner and the almay softie eyeshadow. At first sight it seems that both, liquid liner and eyeshadow won't fade away, wait a bit...

The results after rubbing with water: 

Revlon liquid liner fades easily but the almay eyeshadow remains clear.

Would I buy again Revlon colorstay liquid liner? MAYBE...I like the intensity of the black and it last very log without smudging.
Would I buy Almay softies in smoke? Nope.

Cruelty free makeup companies.

My bunny princess when she was 4 months old!

Hello my friends, I'm not going to do a review but I want you to know the official companies that DON'T taste on animals and that are totally cruelty free, I'll leave you the official peta link where you can learn more and be well informed.
I'm trying to change all of my makeup to cruelty free, as you see in my last reviews, I've bought almay and revlon's products and that brands (which is the same company) are supposed to taste on animals. They used to be cruelty free but I haven't found the reason why they came back at tasting on animals :/ so, it's a bit harder for me due to these brands have amazing products (in my personal opinion) and they're at a very accessible price and they haven't caused me any allergic reaction.
But something that I've learn, is that if you want to reach a goal, nothing will stop you, so I'll keep on using physicians formula products and I'll try nyx for the firts time, also wet and wild. I really hope the revlon brand gets cruelty free son, this will be a long process but I may reach it :)
My big motivation will be my lovely bunny who's always running everywhere <3.

Almay softies eyeshadows review

Hello my pretty ladies, I'll review this day the softies almay eyeshadows!!
What I did like: 
1. First of all, the pigmentation es very subtle and delicate, and when you apply it (either with your finger or a brush) you won't have that annoying problem of the eyeshadow's dust fall over your lower eyelid; these shadows stays put where you apply them, they don't fall out during the application.
2. They are very cheap, $5 up to $6 each one, and the individuals pots contains 2g which is enought product for me; eyeshadows tend to last me up to 18 months or even more, now that's a big buy at a low price!
3. They are easy to apply with your finger, you can build up the colour as you please. I don't recommend to use a brush with these kind of eyeshadows due to the powder gets stuck in the bristles and gets harder to build up the colour in your eyelid.
4. They stay put all day. I wore them like 10h and the colour didn't seem to fade away.
What I didn't like:
I didn't hate these eyeshadows at all, but there are some girls that like highly highly pigmented eyeshadows (like nyx and mac) and these ones are not like that. So, if you're one of those girls, you will hate the almay softies, because although they have a good colour, they're not 100% intense and you have to swatch the shadow over 10 times or more so you can get the colour that you see in the pot.
Sincerely I loved them, specially créme brulee because it was the perfect amount of shimmer that I was looking for my eyes.

Créme brulee

Créme brulee is my favourite eyeshadow! I usually hate shimmer but in my eyes,I love to wear it in the inner corners of my eyelids and I just love how it stays put without falling and messing up my undereye concealer. The colour seems to be like a nude beige but it doesn't leave you any colour, just shimmer and some people might be disappointed about that but I like it in that way. Another thing is that that, with this shade, the texture isn't soft at all, seems more like a compact powder. I'll repurchase this shade!

Hot fudge

This colour brown is totally matte.

Swatched less than 5 times and the shoot  was taken at natural day light.

So what you thinks about these eyeshadows? leave your comment please :) It makes me happy!
