Maybelline Master Drama by Eyestudio Eyeliner in Midnight Master (Black)


I stumbled upon this eyeliner quite by accident. I was at my drugstore, looking for a quick lunch to bring to work, and noticed this liner on sale. ( I always have to take a run through the cosmetics department no matter how rushed I am. I can't help it, I'm addicted.) This liner retailed for about $10, but I got mine on sale for $6.99. Yay for sales!

This liner is one of those automatic pencils that you don't have to sharpen. You just twist up the product as you use it. You can use it in your waterline like a Khol liner, or on the outer part of your eyes as well. It is very soft and smooth, this liner doesn't pull at your eyes at all.

The one thing I will caution is that if you don't like dramatic eye make-up, this liner isn't for you. It is absolutely not for the wall-flowers! You will stand out in this eye liner.





* * * * *  Cost: 4 out of 5 stars. The price was reasonable, and I didn't waste my money.
* * * * *  Wear: 5 out of 5 stars. I'm not sure if it would last a full 24 hours, but it definitely lasted over 10.
* * * * *  Ease of use: 4 out of 5 stars. The only reason is because the tip doesn't stay pointy on an automatic pencil. But that still doesn't take away from the overall awesomeness of this liner.
* * * * *  Overall: 4 out of 5 stars. I would definitely give this a try, and I'm sure you will love it.

Clarins Paris Fix' Make-Up Spray Mist


This is one of my absolute favorite products in my make-up bag right now. Clarins Fix' Make-Up ($30 Canadian for 30 ml / 1 fl oz.) is like a hairspray for your face!

Once you're done applying your make-up for the day, you can hold this spray about 8-10 cm from your face and give yourself a few good spritzes. Once it dries, it will set your make-up in place and keep you looking fresh all day. You can also use this spray throughout the day to rejuvinate your make-up and keep your skin looking flawless. It smells AMAZING and really revitalizes you when you need a lift during the day. It smells fresh and reminds me of spring.

This product is great for the hot humid days of summer, when you feel like your make-up is going to melt off of your face. It's also great for proms and weddings, so that you will need to do less powder touch ups.

Clarins products are all plant based, and this spray contains Clarins' patented EP3 complex, which protects your skin from free radicals, one of the leading causes of aging.
