Eye Makeup

Ugh!  Cali weather sucks.  My skin is starting to get really dry, thanks to the cold, drying wind.  I try to apply lotion to protect my skin but my hands and lotion feel so cold on my body that I try to avoid it as much as possible.  I know I shouldn’t neglect my skin during the winter but sometimes I can’t help it.  It’s just soo cold! 

I have been very busy trying to open an online business and honestly, I’m starting to get fustrated.  I knew it wouldn’t be easy but  there’s so much stuff to do, it’s crazy.

And now, I am so behind on my blog it’s ridiculous…so I am trying to catch up! MAC-MAC Cosmetics-MAC Fluidline eye liner gel-MAC copyOkay, okay on to the review!  So, I finally went out and purchased a pot of MAC’s Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel in Blacktrack.  Omg, this stuff is amazing! 

I usually use pencil or liquid eyeliners but after reading so many good reviews on this gel liner, I decided to give it a try.  And girl, let me tell you!  Once this gel liner sets, it stays on all day.  It goes on smooth, it doesn’t smudge and it easily comes off with makeup remover. 

The gel liner itself is easy to use, all you do is dip your brush (I use an angled brush) into the pot and line your top lashline.  You can also line your lower lashline using fluidline but I prefer to use a black pencil eyeliner-it’s easier, I guess.

Overall, this stuff is truly great.  However, if your new to gel liners (like me) it might take a bit of practice and patience to get an even looking lined eye.

pixi cosmetics- beauty eye kit-makeup-eyeshadows- No. 11 Mod

Having loved the Pixi Eye Beauty Kit in Mango, I went back to Target for another Pixi pallet.  This time I picked up Pixi’s Eye Beauty Kit in Mod.  The shades of this particular pallet are fantastic!

And the quality is just as good as all of the other Pixi products that I’ve used.  Except for the shade in medium bark,  I don’t like it at all.  It’s too light and it almost dissapears on my skin.  I hate not being able to see where I’ve already put color at or having to put too much of one product to get a decent looking shade out of it.

Anyways, here are the swatches to Pixi’s Eye Beauty Kit in Mod:     pixi cosmetics- beauty eye kit-makeup-eyeshadows- No 11 Mod

Oh and another thing, ice-white and skin cream look similar in the swatches that I did but they’re not, skin cream has more of a pink color to it. 

Overall, I think Pixi cosmetics are fairly good and I don’t mind having them as part of my makeup collection.
