Revlon: Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer

    This is the first primer I've ever used. Since it's my first, I can't compare. But so far, it's good. My foundation stays all day and leaves it with a semi-matte finish. One day, I tried this face primer with eye shadow and the color was vibrant and stayed on all day. When I apply this primer, it creates this cooling effect. It just feels refreshing. It leaves the skin smooth and prepares it for your war paint, haha :3. This gel-like substance is clear, meaning it's perfect for all skin tones. The package is kinda small, though. I bought this Revlon primer on Amazon but can be found in drug stores.

ELF Cosmetics: Cream Liner in Black

Hi there :)

   Today, I'm reviewing ELF's Cream Liner in Black. I have to say...not bad. I actually like this liner. I'm usually wary of cheap cosmetics. But I bought this liner for friend, along with the Beach Party nail polish set as a Christmas present by the same brand and I decided to get two. One for her, one for me. The nail polish is a bit...eh~. I'll do a review on that on some other post.

   The liner comes in a cute and minimalist package with a small brush. (I'm a sucker for minimalism). The brush is too small, so I went ahead and bought the Japonesque Angled Liner Brush. But I just wanted to show you guys. I've read comments about this liner. A lot of people said it dried out rather quickly. The liner hasn't dried out on me yet, but I guess you get what you paid for. You have to get a lot of product on the brush for it to show up. I love the smooth texture of the liner, the longevity, and the precision. This liner is perfect for lining the lower lash line. I usually don't line the lower lash line during the day, just a wing on my upper lash line. But I wanted to show you guys how precise this liner was. It doesn't cause any irritation of my sensitive eyes. I love defining my eyes and this liner does a great job. I feel like it makes my brown eyes look richer. Give it a try :). You can buy ELF Cosmetics online or places like Target.
