Product experience 
brush tip

You .057 oz 0.0 g of product for $2.99 I got the colors black leather 01 which is your basic black and twilight 04 which is a nice bright blue. It's available in 8 shades from basic blacks to fun bright yellow.The black sets to a matte finish while blue has some micro shimmer.The blue will stain your lids I didn't notice any staining with the black.It is an ink pot type of liquid eyeliner with a nice thin brush applicator.
I found  the texture to be nice it does take a few seconds to dry but nothing bad.
I find my self dipping a couple of times to get enough product on my lids and to get enough color.

Pros
  • Comes in a inkwell type of liner
  • Has a nice thin brush
  • Very pigmented
  • Some products dries to different finishes, the black dried to a matte finish while the blue one has some iridescence
  • Dries quickly
  • Comes in basic and non traditional shades like green and yellow

a little bit of transfer/staining 


Cons
  • the brush is a just a tad short
  • the some of the color transfers
  • The some of colors will stain your lids
  • The blue one flaked around my eye area
  • The formula feels drying upon initial application but goes away after 15 min



twilight, after 4 hours 

after 4 hour twilight, there's a bit of flaking around my eye

All in all I like this eyeliner the brush is thin and the formula works for me. It worth trying out if you happen to find this available in stores.

Neutrogena Rapid clear fight and fade 2 in 1 gel

Hi Everyone,

I hope your enjoying the school is about to end and it's finals week. Meaning stress levels just went up and through the roof. Blemishes start to pop out and amongst other things. Today I will be reviewing the rapid clear 2 in 1 fight and fade gel from Neutrogena. I ran out of my clinique spot treatment and didn't have time to go to the mall. I just dropped by my local CVS and grabbed this spot treatment.

Product Claims:
Get a unique 2-in-1 formula that reduces breakouts in 8 hours and fades the look of post-acne marks for clearer, more even toned skin. Neutrogena Rapid Clear® Fight & Fade 2-In-1 Gel is the first acne treatment clinically shown to quickly reduce breakouts in 8 hours and fade the marks acne can leave behind.

MicroClear® technology cuts through oil to quickly deliver acne-fighting salicylic acid deep into pores, which visibly reduces pimples in hours-not days. And, Glycolic Acid accelerates skin cell renewal to fade the look of post-acne marks for visible results in just one week.
  • Dermatologist tested
  • MicroClear® technology
  • Fast-absorbing gel


Product Expereince:

This like any spot treatments comes in a nice tube you get about 5 g of product. This particular brand uses salicylic acid as the main ingredients. The products comes in a clear plastic tube and the product itself has clear orange tint to it. What I do is after I have finished with my skin care routine I placed my moisturizer on I just dab some of this product on my blemishes. It's supposed to contains glycolic acid , to lighten the spot after it has healed. I also noticed that this product stings and if you place this under your moisturizer it can break down your moisturizer.

Pros:
Inexpensive and widely available
Uses salicylic acid instead of benzoyl peroxide
comes in a clear plastic tube

Cons:
The product stings!!!! when placed on your blemish
Breaks down moisturizers, place this on top of your moisturizer or let the product dry first before using your moisturizer.

I should have known better for whatever reason salicylic acid doesn't work well on me compared to benzoyl peroxide. I have stopped using this product because it just didn't work for me. I didn't notice any of my post acne spots lightening.

It's time for a haul

Hi Everyone,

I hope your having a wonderful day this will be my first haul. This haul is an accumulation of my shopping trip from Target, Marukai, CVS and Yesstyle.com. I think I have bought enough stuff to consider a haul but not a lot to make it super long and boring.

I was at target the other day and just browsing around. I decided to give ELF brand a try again. I heard so many good reviews about their face products so I decided to get a few items.
In the past I bought a set from the essential lind. The set included eye shadows, eyeliner and eyeshadow primer from elf and I must say I was disappointed with the product. The eye shadows were powdery. I had a hard time packing on the color and eyeshadow was just everywhere, it was just a huge mess. The eyeliner was hard and tugged on my eyelid and primer was decent.

So I bought a bunch of stuff from ELF studio line, this is the pro line of ELF and everything cost $3 and they are the one in black packaging. Which is reminiscent of Nars packing.I got the Translucent matifying powder, contouring and bronzing powder, the under eye concealer and highligther, and two studio blushes.

I also bought the Rimmel the max volume flash mascara I always buy mascara just to test them out and figure out what works for me. I'm currently using a L'oreal mascara and Maybeline XXL mascara. I also bought Milani's liquif eye metallic eyeliner in brown 05, eye tech extreme liquid liner in blackest black, Milani duo sharpener with cover. I caved and bought one of the Milani baked blushes in coralina. Physicians formula shimmer strips in the colors Nude eyes, L'oreal magic lumi concealer. Lastly I bought the Soho brand crease brush, I must say this brush is super expensive for a drugstore brand. CVS gives you coupon to use with certain items and this brush retails for $19 but I got it for $9.99

I bought some hair products, I bought some shampoo, conditioner and hair mask my Shea moisture. My husband uses the face and body scrub and he loves it. I figure why not try this brand. I'm almost out of my Argan oil infused hair and conditioner.

I went to marukai and bought some stuff the barrier serum and pore cream. From yesstyle.com I purchased a sample pack of cure aqua gel, Bourjois cleansing water and avene clean-ac moisturizer.

Eventually I will have a review of all the products I have purchased it will take me some time at least 2 to 3 months depends on how often I use them and if I get any kind of reaction from the products. That's about it if you have any questions just leave a comment below and I will try and answer them for you.
