Maybelline gel eyeliner

I cave in and bought myself some gel eyeliner. Maybelline was on sale, so why not? Little do I realized, Essence has one that is cheaper and just as good. I still do not know how to wear eyeliner. Hooded eyes doesn't help either. Sure there are some days when I'm lucky and I can apply them with little problem. Most of the time though, I just don't want the risk of destroying the eyeshadow on my lids.
Nevertheless a beauty junkie need all kind of make up. So I decided to go all out and choose the black. Even though now I think about it, the brown will be better.

It's just a normal gel container. Really small and cute. Come with a brush that I actually like. It glides on easily. Pretty pigmented. Not the blackest I've seen, but it's still dark.

Lightly glide on and when pressed on.

As you can see, it smudge. That's really sad.
On the eyes it's pretty smudged proof. As in it doesn't run. But I never rub my eyes, so I wouldn't know. I never really wear it out, maybe just a couple of hours at most. So I wouldn't know it's staying power.

I love the look eyeliner gives on others, but I cannot pull it off. I'll keep on practicing.

The jar is so adorable! I have a couple of gel eyeliners and I love them. I like that they apply smooth and creamy. This looks like it is very lovely on the eye.

Yah, I kind of love the jar, haha. But I guess most gel liner are the same. Now, if only I know how to use them.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty.

Beauty Uk Baked Blush

A red blush looks really intimidating on the box but I picked this up cause I want something different for my collection. It's just a cardboard box kind of packaging, secured with magnet, so it's really simple. It's quite big and like all baked product, it's dome in shape. So it's actually quite bulky. I wouldn't bring it for travel that's for sure. The color payoff is good, but instead of red it's more pink. You can use it sparingly and it will be lighter or you can pack on the color which will gives you a really bright pink. In fact, if lightly dust over your cheek it is more coral than pink. It has tiny specks of shimmer, but it doesn't show. I can't remember how much I bought this for but it wasn't expensive. It's not my favorite blush, but I find myself reaching for it a lot. So that's something isn't?
