Review: Milani Liquif'Eye Eye Liner Pencil

I figured since I reviewed a perfect cat eye eyeliner yesterday then I should review the perfect smokey eyeliner. Milani has made the Holy Grail of drugstore eyeliners!!! I am in mad love with these eyeliners for real. I have the black and brown ones and I love love love them. I will always have my Milani eyeliners with me wherever I go. So many people, bloggers, vloggers and websites talk about how great these are so I'm not going to into crazy detail but I will share my thoughts quickly on them. So here is goes:

1. This pencil is the smoothest pencil ever when applying. It's almost like a silky creamy liquid!
2. You can use this on the rim of your eye (kinda like inside your eyelid under your lashes, make sense?) and it doesn't run either :)
3. You can smudge this out before it dries and once it does, it doesn't move.
4. Washes off very easy without leaving residue or smearing before coming off.
5. It comes in different amazing colors that I can't wait to get my hands on.(like the teal one above, OMG)
6. They are so rich and pigmented.
7. They sharpen beautifully and last forever!
8. A lot of people compare these to MAC Eyeliners also :)  But waaaay cheaper! woot woot!

Here is a picture of the black one I have:



And here is the brown one (although it looks really light in this picture):


And here are some swatches I found online:



How pigmented are they??? You can get these at CVS or Ulta that I know of. I'm sure you can get them other places I just don't know where those places are. Oh yea! Check Amazon too. :)

Let me know if you have these or tried these and what you think!

Be blessed beauties!

Review: NYX Super Skinny Eye Marker

If you want the perfect cat eye then you need this marker. It doesn't smudge well at all so for the smokey eye this isn't the product for you. You can get the fat one or skinny one and since I'm on a mad hunt to be skinny I went with the skinny one. :) I can't wait to try the fat one too though, just in the marker of course. This product is great for anyone wanting to achieve the perfect cat eye or just winged out eye look (wait, isn't that the same thing???....oh well) Anyway on to the review....it doesn't dry that fast so you can fix a mistake if you're like any human being and make them from time to time but it dries quick enough where you don't have to be so careful for a long time hoping it doesn't smudge or get all over your eyelid. It goes over shadows very well and doesn't dry out in the tube fast at all. This is literally like a marker for your eyes.....I really feel at this moment right now that I need to express that you should never try to use a sharpie or any other marker type thing around your eyes. You should only use products made for your eyes.....OK sorry that was the mommy in me coming out.

I use this marker quite a bit for everyday black liner if I'm not doing a smokey eye because it brings just enough drama to your face without going overboard, especially if your going with very natural eye shadows. The point at the end is great for reaching the inner corner with a very fine line. The average price is around $8 I believe, I think I paid around $8 for mine at Ulta.

So that's it! I really like this liquid eyeliner, it lasts, it has a very fine point for precision, it washes off well, it's got a good price on it, and it's by NYX so you know you can't go wrong with that right? (I love NYX products). Have you tried this? Do you love it or hate it? I wanna know :)

Be blessed beauties!
