Liquid Eyeliners

Hello lovelies! Here are another e.l.f products that i'm going to write a review on. I know, you might think that I need to stop buying e.l.f products and shows some love on other brands. Don't worry, because I will eventually! Anyways, I pretty much use liquid eyeliner every time when i do my makeup. I just like its clean finish for my everyday makeup look  compare to gel liner or pencil liner. I got a 'black' color for everyday use, and 'copper' looked interesting when I first saw it so I brought it with me to check it out.

 e.l.f liquid eyeliners - Black & Copper

Its description describing the liquid eyeliner as a smudge-proof liquid liner, and fine tip brush creates easily defined and precise lines. 

Here's my opinion on black liquid eyeliner. What i like about this eyeliner is that it's a smudge-proof liquid liner as it described on the back. I tried to rub it really hard to see if it comes out and guess what, it didn't.  I can create fine line to thick line without any problem. I like how the color is highly concentrate. I usually have to go over three times with my pen liner but with this one I don't have to go over another time to make it even- Love it! However, this isn't a water-proof. That's the only thing I dislike about this black liquid eyeliner.

Cooper isn't my favorite. I thought it will be more like black eyeliner but just in different color. As you can see in the swatch, It looks too watery. It reminds me of glitter glues that I used to use for decorating Christmas cards when I was young.  I mean, the watery stuff dries out after about 30sec, but still it's not evenly spread. The color is pretty but i want something that's more like eyeliner, not a card decoration glue.

Milani : 14 Rose Hip

 Milani | 14 Rose Hip (Cream)

 Today I'm going to write a review about the Milani's Color Statement Lipstick - shade 14 'Rose Hip'. I picked this up along with shade 01 Sweet Nectar. Actually this is the color that my boyfriend picked for me when I couldn't decided in between Milanis' several pink shades.  I would say I have quite a few pink shades already but not as many as other people who has a big collection of lipsticks. I really wanted to get all the pink shades from Milani, however, I knew there's no way I am going to love and use them all equally and probably some of them will end up in the corner of the drawer and never see the light again. 

The packaging is kind of effective when it comes to stacking or arranging by colors since it already shows the actual colors on the bottom of the lipstick. In my opinion, even this lipstick is low priced, it doesn't look so low-grade compare to other affordable lipsticks. I quite like its plain-basic looking. 

The color of this lipstick is very much - hot pink. It is very strong, bold and vibrant. It's not too shimmery nor matte. Just perfect cream lipstick. I don't know if i would wear this on regular basis since it's really bright hot pink. I would recommend it to a party look. If I am going to a fancy restaurant, I probably go with lighter tone downed pinks or brown-ish pink.

I was quite surprised by this shade's staying power. Previously, I reviewed the shade 01 Sweet Nectar and mentioned that Sweet Nectar doesn't stay long enough and smudged easily. Well, I don't know why but this color, which is Rose Hip, seems like having a better staying power and doesn't smudged much than the previous color I reviewed. Rose Hip stayed long enough to be against on Mac's Viva Glam Nicki. Of course Mac lipstick was little bit better but with compared to its low-price, it's pretty good isn't it? I am very satisfied with it so far.

Milani | 01 Sweet Nectar (Cream)  

First of all, I want to thank Amelia(The Non Brit) for a little photography tip! It made my pictures crispy clear. Please go check Amelia's amazing photos & reviews on her blog :)

 

I am a huge drugstore lover and love affordable products that have great quality. Well, who doesn't? The other day I went to the mart to get some berries- technically my boyfriend wanted it. While my boyfriend was picking some fruits, I wondered around the beauty section (just like always.) I picked several products. This Milani's Sweet Nectar Lipstick is one of them.

Milani's 'Sweet Nectar' is a  bright orange-red(more orange-ish), with subtle yellow undertones. It is super creamy, very opaque color looks might be better on darker or more olive skin tones, paired with winged liner and heavy black mascara. If you are looking for something wearable orange color lipstick, this might be perfect for you. It also has like bubble gum kind of smell which I really like it. 

Like : Pigmentation, It's very creamy but still doesn't go into every single lip cracks. I also do like the smell of it and its affordable price.

Dislike: Little too easy to get smudged. It doesn't seem like a 'long lasting' product.

Product Description : Make a statement without saying a word!  True Instant Color. One stroke, full coverage application. This next generation lipstick gives the ultimate in color, texture and finish.  The lightweight creamy formula contains Vitamins A, C, & E to moisturize and nourish lips. Paraben-free.

e.l.f Nail Polish | Smokin Hot

I normally don't wear things red. I like color red, but It is just too much for me to wear. Well, I think today was the day that I actually want to try red and be bold! I did not own any red color nail polish until I ordered 14 nail polish set from e.l.f . I've never tried e.l.f 's nail polishes so I just wanted to try and see how they are as a beauty consumer and finally I got to try one of them today. 

 Well, I am very impressed by its quality. I think they've been doing really great job on their nail polish. Why? I just painted one coat of nail polish. Only one single coat! Some nail polishes that i've purchased, I have to coat my nails at least two to get a nice and even color. They are more pricy than this e.l.f 's nail polish. Now, I can't wait to try other colors because it dried like a magic. Also, I didn't even used my top coat and it's so shiny! It is just so awesome since I don't like to wait so long to make sure every single nails are dry and ready to do stuff. I highly recommend this product. All i want to say is reasonable price with high quality product. 

Do you own any e.l.f nail polishes? What's your favorite nail polish brand?
