Bliss Fabulips Softening Lip Balm

I think I've found my new favorite lip balm! Bliss's Fabulips Sotening lip balm is easily the best balm I've tried. I got it for six bucks at T.J. Maxx, and put it on immediately. The product came in a simple white tube, and the balm itself was white. It had a light sugary smell to it, and went on smoothly. It felt amazing on my lips; they felt immediately softer and more moist. The balm soaked in after about forty five minutes, leaving my lips baby-soft and quite supple. I would definitely recommend this lip balm!

Revlon Powder Blush

I wanted to try a new blush, so I picked up Revlon's Powder Blush in "Softspoken Pink," and when the label said "softspoken," it meant it. I liked how subtle the product was, though; as pale as I am, I look weird in a ton of blush. Anyways, I didn't use the little brush that came with it, the brush was far too small. It took a few swipes to put on with my blush brush, and I ended up with a cute flush of color. It wasn't overpowering, nor did it fade or smear throughout the day. When I run out of this, I will buy it again.

Wet n Wild Fergie Collection Lipstick

I was on the fence about buying anything from Wet n Wild's Fergie collection, but the lipstick turned out great. I bought it in "Old School Glam" and paid around three bucks for it. I pretty much fell in love; the lipstick was highly pigmented yet smooth, and stayed on all through the day without touch-ups. The product didn't dry out my lips, and I received compliments on the bright poppy shade all day. I think this might be the HG of drugstore lipstick! Who woulda thought?

How to use Mascara as Eyeliner

I heard through the grapevine that one can use mascara as an eyeliner. I gave it a shot, and was really impressed! The mascara went on in one stroke, and packed a ton of pigment. It didn't budge all day! Anyways, here's how you do it:
1. Get a really small makeup brush. I used e l.f.'s professional concealor brush.
2. Dip the brush into the desired tube of mascara. Make sure you have plenty on the brush.
3. Apply as you would a gel liner
The picture below is of how the liner looks before I put mascara on my actual lashes.

BioOil

I got a bottle of BioOil for free through work a little while ago, and decided to see if it was a miracle product, or a farce. While it isn't a miracle, it's a great product! The oil smelled clean and not overpowering, and went on clear. I used it on my cuticles, a scar on my hand, and my lips to see if it would truly heal skin imperfections. After a period of weeks, my scar faded a little bit, my cuticles looked great, and my lips were much smoother. Score! I have also used it as a highlighter on my cheeks, which also went pretty well for me. I have been keeping my bottle of the oil in my purse, and will definitely buy it when I run out!

L'Oreal Power Volume 24 Hour Mascara

I bought L'Oreal's Power Volume 24 Hour mascara the other day; it claimed to have a smoky matte effect, and pack a ton of volume. I put it on a few days later, and ended up liking it. The brush was nice and large, slightly smaller in the center. The formula wasn't too wet, and gave me a good amount of volume. The mascara was indeed matte, and it held it's effect throughout the day. This was a pretty good mascara; I may very well buy it again!

Get the Look: Metallic Eyes

To get this metallic eye look, I put on two different shades of NYX's loose pearl eye shadows, using the darker one as a liner on the top and bottom. I put on a moderate amount of mascara and finished with a setting spray. At no point did I use liquid liner; I didn't want to detract from the shadow. What do you think; is it something you would wear?
