Last visit: OPI Mad as a Hatter

It’s time to say farewell to my favorite nail polish. It has become impossible to apply evenly with this nail polish. It is now so thick and dry…

At least I can have a break from the pain of removing glittery nail polishes…

Goodbye my love.

Review: Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Gel CreamLiner for Brown Eyes

Why do companies give such a long names for their products…

My first gel liner experience is with MAC fluidline in Blacktrack. I liked it but eventually, I preferred using liquid eyeliner, Dollywink to be more precise.

So what made me purchase Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Gel Creamliner? My Dollywink eyeliner is drying up and I read some reviews about this product which made me very intrigued. They all said that it is very affordable and good! I was just very curious how does it compare with MAC (also because it comes with 3 colors!)

the Swatch

They are very smooth and pigmented. The quantity is more than enough at this price point. I got mine at Wal-Mart, which was on sale, slightly more than 8$ + taxes. It’s very affordable considering you are getting 3 colors!

I first tried the smudging test by doing some exercise that required some sweating. And?  No smudging!

I’m actually using it everyday now. I really like it! Although, I still prefer Dollywink if I want to do a wing. I just can’t achieve a very fine line with a brush; I guess i’m just not skilled enough!

Personally, I think this gel liner performs just as well as Mac’s. So stop purchasing MAC’s and have this one instead!

Mac Cranberry

I remember buying my first MAC eyeshadows back in 2009, when Mac still has a once year discount of 15%. My friends suggested that I should buy a 15 eyeshadow palette instead of a 4 eyeshadow palette because they knew I would eventually buy a lot…

Guess what? They were wrong! It is now 2012 and my palette is far from being complete!

However I recently received an addition to my MAC eyeshadows: Cranberry. My palette is one step closer to being complete!!

Quality is like the usual Mac – smooth but not buttery smooth

Cranberry has a bit of purple undertone. However, on my skin, the purple does not appear. The redness  seems to be the only showing up! I’m hoping  it’ll be different on my eyelids…because the reason I wanted this color was the mix of purple and red. But I’m sure if I add a hint of purple eyeshadow color on top of cranberry, it’ll be the color that I want. Therefore, all problems solved!!
