My Essential & Favorite Makeup Brushes

2:44 PM
I wanted to upload the video I filmed a few days ago about all of my makeup brush collection, but I just hated the lighting in my room! It always makes my hands look old, burnt, and crinkly (which it obviously is not hehe). And besides, YouTube isn't my forte nor was it my objective anyway, so I shall just write a bloggie blog post instead.

Here's a picture of all the brushes I use. I'm going to write a review for only some of them, the "essentials" that I use almost everyday for my everyday makeup.


Here is the list of my essentials:
  • Real Techniques "Buffing Brush"
  • Real Techniques "Base Shadow" brush
  • Chanel #4 Eyeliner brush
  • Missha (no particular name- but shading brush I'd call it!)
  • Sephora Professional #22 Angled Eyeliner brush


Real Techniques "BUFFING BRUSH"
This a great liquid foundation brush. You simply dap the brush to your foundation, then buff and blend it all over your face. It'll evenly distribute, blend, and leave face with a nice even finish. I find this so much better than the typical foundation brush with a flat shape. It seems to take too long compared to when using a brush bigger like this buffing brush. I like to apply my foundation well, but also quickly! I find Real Techniques brushes to be affordable, efficient, and pretty!



RT Base Shadow Brush
I wish I had more than one of this but I don't think you can purchase this brush alone. It's part of either the core or travel collection, and so I'd have to buy the whole set to get a hold of another one of that! But I use it all the time! I use it to lay the first layer of eyeshadow on my eyelids, and then using it again to blend my crease or what not so that I'm not left with any harsh lines. It does the job perfectly. I don't know how else to explain but that it does its job well!



Chanel #4 Eyeliner Brush
This brush it pretty old, near ten years old! I don't know if it's still the #4 or not, but this brush is perfect for drawing eyeliners, especially with a gel eyeliner (like the Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner)! It is so tight and compact that you have full control over how you want to draw your line. You won't be left with dragging skin and missed bumpy lines with this one. Nope, precise yet effective in brush stroking movements as well!



Missha Shading Brush
This one is a cheapy, but I don't remember the exact price. I bought it in Korea, and I don't know too much about the availability here in the US. This brush is perfect in shading in the darker eyeshadows around the outer corners of my eyes and blending it into the "V" shape. It has just the right amount of control for me to work with a darker color without having it too massive or small. Also, I don't ever have a problem with specks of eyeshadow pigments falling of this brush. It draws on without any mess!



Sephora Professional #22 Angled Eyeliner Brush
Another favorite eyeliner brush I have! This time, it's an angled one, which some people prefer. It is easier I guess in drawing your eyeliner. I find this works really well especially when you want to create a fast and easy winged eyeliner. It's super soft and it draws on with ease!



You'll see that these are just my essentials. I haven't included a separate "favorites" blush brush because I have quite a few of them that do the job fairly equally. So, these brushes aren't the only kinds of makeup I wear on a daily basis, but simply my favorite ones in general! 

What are some of your favorite brushes?

Origins GinZing Eye Cream to DEPUFF & BRIGHTEN

5:00 PM
Eye creams can really be a hassle. I've honestly been going on and off with eye creams, but I'm going to boast a little and say it's because I don't have wrinkles under my eye yet! Yet, I do know the saying-- start early because eye creams are to prevent and maintain, not fix the lines! So once you have them, it's not going to magically erase them. 

I've tried a bit here and there, often stealing bits from my older sisters. I found the eye products they used to be either too heavy or too tingly for my like. I discovered this one from Origins (the well talked about product) from several of my favorite beauty gurus. What made me really go out and get it was the depuffing agent in this cream!


Unfortunately, after my TMJ surgery about two years ago, my face has been easy to swell, getting puffy around my eyes, cheeks, and even my nose! Horrible, isn't it? Puffiness is one of my worst enemy, and so I thought this would be a great product to try out.


 It's a salmony pale pink content that will "refreshen" and "brighten and depuff". I find it right in the middle of heavy and light, and it feels so soothing on the skin. It has an INSTANT, and I mean INSTANT brightening effect under the eye. As for the depuffing, I find this pretty amazing as well.

Hmm, am I using to overflown words here? But I think it deserves its credit! Because I easily swell overnight (face), I wake up to puffy eyes very often. Sure I've tried putting ice on my eyes to depuff, but often times, it's only time that will allow my face to slowly depuff itself during the day. However, when I apply this at night and wake up the next day, my eyes are so awake and puffiness has seriously decreased. I can tell because my eye shape completely changes with how puffed up my eyes are or not! A good non-puffed eye day means a good makeup day for me!


I apply this morning and night, with a decent amount (however much that is) and apply it on the contours around my eyes. Some people apply it directly under the eye (the light skin area) but that's not where it should be applied! It's below that area where the thin skin and the pore skin meet. You also apply it all around even under your outer edge of the brows. That way, the product can actually seep into your pores and do the job. If it's just sitting on top of the thin skin area right under the eye, it'll just sit there all night!

You can see from the swatch how brightening the product is. I've patted it around a bit, leaving some content so you can see where I've blended it, just to show how brightening it is. If you want an eye-awakening eye cream, try this one out! It's seriously worth the hype :)

ethereal pressed powder

2:40 PM
Okay, fine. The name doesn't have "Ellie" in it, but when I saw this pressed powder by Kevyn Aucoin that was named "ETHEREAL" I didn't have to think twice before I bought it. I have been on search for a touch up pressed powder for the longest time. I used to use the Benefit Flawless coverup (exact name is blanking out right now) which I loved and used one after the other. But as well as it did the job, it also clogged up my pores a lot. I wanted something light and airy! I also thought of trying out the MAC Skin Finish Mineral powder as well, but somehow this came along and I thought, let's try this!


Their website says:
The Ethereal Pressed powder provides sheer coverage as well as an all over matte-finish, which never appears cakey. Microsphere technology helps to create a silky and fine texture which enables the powder to glide on smoothly and look natural on the skin.

It comes in I believe four shades and I was worried about the shades. I had purchased this online on the Space NK website, but I read the reviews and felt the shade Ep07 would be best for me. It is a light/medium shade with yellow undertone, which is what I am! 



Like the name "ethereal" implies, the whole idea of this pressed powder is that it is light and not "cakey". I do get oily throughout the day and the last thing I'd want is to cake my face with thick powder!


I love it thus far. It gives me such a matte finish and the texture is ever so creamy and soft! You can use this on its own as a foundation or as a touch-up, which is how I use it. The fact that you can use it as a foundation means it has some great coverage, which to me is quite important in touching up. I touch up because my makeup has faded in places and that means my blemishes are showing! AH! So, this is great. 

Advice: make sure you do a good job in cleaning the sponge every now and then so that the oily buildup won't transfer to the clean and silky powder. And just for heads-up, the price was $52.00 sold at several department stores like Barneys or SpaceNK.

No Need to Be Afraid of Liquid Eyeliners! Bourjois Liner Feutre Review & Swatch

4:28 PM
Liquid eye liners will be the death of me!... is what I used to think, especially when you're in a hurry and you don't have the patience nor the mentality to draw the perfect line. The reason being is that liquid eye liners usually require the perfect curve and everything partly because the line is obvious and any zigzag will be noticeable. The ByTerry liquid eyeliner I blogged about a few months ago was good in that the felt tip was more like an eyeliner brush, allowing facility and efficiency in drawing the line you want.

Recently, after my sister's trip to Paris, she brought back Bourjois' Liner Feutre. She said it was AMAZING in terms of pigmentation. I tried it on and honestly, I was frightened. It was the quintessential liquid eyeliner. However, the amazing thing about it was that it really drew well. Whereas my ByTerry is more like a brush, this was more like a full on marker in the pinpoint of a pen. My ByTerry had some hard time drawing on top of all the pack full of eyeshadows on my eyelid. However, this one (let alone being MUCH CHEAPER) had no problem being full on INTENSE BLACK on top of all my eyeshadows.


After using it, I reclined back to my Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner. But, because of the compact and easiness of just carrying around a pen rather than a pot and brush, I wanted to master using the liquid eyeliner.


You can see that the tip is pretty long. What I do is slant the point all the way down, so that the entirety of the tip can cover about half of my eyelid. That way, half of the drawing in has been done by slanting it, and then carefully drawing it across in that angle. Then for the tip where I usually wing out my eyeliner, I then use the tippy top to get the thinness of the wing I want!

After learning to slant and utilize the angles well, I've been loving this eyeliner much more. You definitely can't achieve a smokey blended eyeliner with this since it's more like an intense marker. But if you want that intense, never budging, won't budge, cannot budge eyeliner... this is definitely a go! And it's cheap, although I'm not too sure about the availability of Bourjois products here.


What are some of your favorite liquid eyeliners and what are some methods you use to overcome the horror of using them? :) xx

My Favorite Face Primers

8:04 PM
My previous post right before this is about my Summer Essentials, some necessary products I rely on to keep my makeup lasting all day. Of them, the two face primers I mentioned were the Jemma Kidd Skin Rescue Bio-Complex Veil (SPF 15) and the ThisWorks Perfect Look Skin Miracle (Tinted Moisturizer). I didn't get too much into them because it'd have taken forever, so as an ode to the two beautiful discoveries I've made, I've decided to write a separate post of them!

This Works Perfect Look Skin Miracle
Jemma Kidd Pro Skin Rescue Bio-Complex

The first one up is this Jemma Kidd Skin Rescue Bio-Complex Veil that I bought from SpaceNK online. They were having an exclusive 12-hour Flash Sale for only Jemma Kidd products. I've been wanting to try Jemma Kidd products for ever so long, but because they are a UK brand, it's hard to take a hold of here. Of the few things I bought at the 12-hour flash sale, I picked up this amazing sounding face primer that can be built to a foundation wear.
As I've mentioned in my previous post, I've been wanting a primer that not only does the job of prepping and helping the makeup last all day, but also a skincare based product that would ensure that it helps rather than harms my skin. I hate having to sacrifice my skin for a few hours of great looking face, only to come home with breakouts and all that nonsense! I used to use BB creams but they became too heavy for me in the summer.

The packaging is wonderful. It's a sleek black tube that has an efficient pump for usage. They come in I believe two or four shades, separated by a yellow or warm undertone. I got the Nude Y1 which is the yellow base primer. What attracted me to this product was the word "RESCUE"... just what I wanted! It contains vitamins A, C, and E to help boost the skin. It's what they say "revolutionary 'all-in-one' moisturizer, prep, primer, illuminator, and tint. Age-defying botanical complexes and active peptides protect and repair the skin. SPF 15 for added protection." How amazing does that sound?


One pump is plenty and the coverage is sheer at first, but with a tint. I didn't notice actually until I took a picture that within this contained small shimmers to illuminate the skin. I don't know how much I like that part of the product, but it's ever so subtle, it'll only brighten your face I think! So it's not bad at all. The texture is so... smooth and it just glides over your skin.

The product is buildable and can be worn on its own. I think this'd be perfect for times when I just need to go to the store or outside for a bit but need nothing too heavy like a foundation, but won't like to go out in public with blemishes of sorts! 

Once you've blended you could see how natural the look is. You can see the shimmer, but with the naked eye, it's not obvious.

I've done a comparison between two hands, one with and one without. Can you guess which? You can't tell too well, but the right has the shimmer and in person, you can see that there is definitely a smoothness and a subtle tint that shows the benefit of this product!

The next one, well and the last one, up is this tinted moisturizer by another UK brand (I've been obsessed with several UK bloggers... hence...) called Thisworks and it's there "Perfect Look Skin Miracle". One of the beauty people I've seen use this is Lisa Eldridge, and I mean... whatever she touches, I feel the need to go get. Anyway, I thought this'd be a great thing to try. I knew for sure though, before I even tested it, that this would have zit coverage for me. I do have old scars and blemishes that a tinted moisturizer could not cover. 

The content is this brown gold greenish thing that almost smells like coffee! It gives the sheerest amount of tint to your face, perhaps more visible if you had lighter skin. This is "an instant, tinted skin perfecter that hydrates and brightens" and leaves my makeup feeling fresh throughout the day! 



Once you've blended the product into your skin, you get this really subtle glow, almost a really subtle tan. But it's not nearly a tan at all, but it does give that glow. Because this is so moisturizing (and I have combination/oily skin) it sort of sticks the makeup to it, but adds as a screen or a protection between the skincare and makeup. Even though it is hydrating, it doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy one bit! 


 I should have tried them earlier! I remember the summer days of having to constantly touch up. Well, thank goodness I've found them now. Both are non-greasy, oil-free, nourishing primers/ tinted moisturizers that focus not only on being a good primer that it is, but also on "skin". That's all very important to me!

What are some of your favorites?

Summer Essentials: How to Keep Makeup On All Day

7:27 PM
I don't know I didn't try again sooner but the key to keeping makeup on all day in the summer is PRIMERS... and a few extra bits here and there. My past experience with primers didn't go well and ever since I've been roaming from no primers to maybe BB creams, then back to nothing at all! BB creams were much too heavy though it did the job. Primers, well, bad experience. 

But recently I've been annoyed at having to touch up during the day in the hot summer day. Wished for a way to keep my makeup on all day, and thought, why not try primers again.

The thing that I was absolutely looking for however was that the primer not only did the job of prepping skin and keeping makeup on, but must also be helpful to the skin and not make the skin breakout or any of that. There are lots of products that perhaps do the job but aren't responsible for what happens after. 

Point is, I wanted a primer that would benefit my skin AS WELL as keep my makeup on all day, but also something that was light and oil-free enough to keep my skin looking fresh. 

So these are what I've been using, in rotation or together. The moisturizers I have mentioned in my previous Summer Mattfiying Moisturizers post. As for the other products, I will soon post a review of the two face primers I am raving about at the moment. I can't believe it took so long to realize I really needed primers!

Summer (Mattifying) Moisturizers

1:45 PM
Summer is great at erasing and melting makeup. It's also great for ruining skins and make things worse for those who already have it bad! Okay, alright. I'll stop being so pessimistic. But thing is, summer entails a lot of things you've got to watch out for. For me, it's how to keep MAKEUP on.

I'm going to do a face primer post soon, but even before we get to the primer I've found that using mattifying moisturizers from the start really help keep makeup on, and oil blocked.

After using my Mario Badescu toner, I apply this recently attained Bioderma Sébium Pore Refiner. They recommend you use it in the day since it won't be hydrating enough for the night. I apply this right in my T-zone area, so my forehead, nose, and chin. I also apply it on the inner parts of my cheeks so near my nose. I tend to get oily around there too.

Then I use my La Roche-Posay Effaclar M (Daily Mattifying Moisturizer) and apply it everywhere else. You can also apply it on top of the sébium for an extra moisture. This moisturizer will make sure your skin isn't too tight. The content of this is a very light moisture that turns slightly powdery. You'll find that your skin does look and stay matte for a lot longer.


The Bioderma Sébium is also similar to the La Roche-Posay in texture. It's a light moisture that quickly smears into the skin and you can instantly see the mattifying effects of the product.

With these two moisturizers, then a primer I find my makeup lasts so much longer and in a healthy state too.

If you have dry skin, you probably won't need a mattifying conversion in the summer. But for those with combination/oily skin, it's important to start from the basis and work yourself up to your makeup. Also, the two particular moisturizers are really good skincare products even for sensitive skin. You won't find yourself breaking out and it keeps break outs at bay!

What conversions do you make in the summer?

If Snow White Wore Lipsticks! RED LIPS

12:49 PM
If Snow White wore lipsticks, she'd probably go for these shades of red. Red lipsticks are classic. It's hard to wear when you're young but as you grow older, you'll find this inner "Sasha" (so Beyonce would call it) or fierceness awakening you to Red Lips craving. According to the look you're going for, you can look any of sexy, lovely, innocent, bold, fierce, and chic! Although I can't rock a pure red lips like some girls can, I try to wear red as much as my visual allows it.

I looked through my lip collection and gathered the Rouge ones, whether they be lip gloss, lip stains, lipsticks, or lip treatments. I've got a mixture of them all!


The newest members are the YSL glossy stain and the Perfékt lip treatment gel. The tricky thing about color is that they seem somewhat similar yet vastly different in subtle way. Yes, I'm aware I used a bunch of paradoxes there but that's what colors are like and also what makes you want to find just the right shade.


They all have different shades of red as well as different content and pigmentation. 1) Guerlain lipstick 2) Perfékt lip treatment 3) Nars lip gloss 4) YSL lip stain. The thickest content is #2. It's a lip treatment gel that hydrates and nourishes the lip while giving it a full on color. You can wear it just as a tint and dap on a bit, or wear it full on. It, to me, is the reddest of the red-- a near "Russian Red" color from MAC. Considering it's a lip treatment/balm it stays on like a stain and has high pigmentation. Also, because it is a lip treatment, it does smell like a pharmaceutical treatment smell (?). The sheer one seem to be #1, the Guerlain Rouge. It's not as pigmented but you definitely get the red going. It's also a rather light red with a tint of coral pink. However, you wouldn't say this was all too sheer since you do get a good color wear from it. The Nars lip gloss in "Mexican Rose" seems to suit me best. The color is surprisingly pink, though on the lips it comes out a red that I thought was almost identical to the YSL glossy stain #10. I started to swatch the two and found them vastly different and ending up swatching all the reds I had! The YSL glossy stain is seriously a stain and lasts forever. It's not the most nourishing and you might need a lip balm (mainly for those who have overly dry lips). But I was looking for a deep vintage red, and this seemed to be the darker of the two three red shades they had from the glossy stain line. This also smells really nice!


Above I have listed the products and shade each one are. I personally love the content of Perfékt, the color of Nars, and the wear of YSL. Guerlain is a classic lipstick that I don't find myself reaching for all too often. It smells amazing though! Perhaps in the winter or fall, I might look for it more. Overall, when swatching, I love how different these reds are!

If Snow White did wear red lipstick, which one do you think would have suited her best? xx

NUXE Huile Prodigieuse / Multi-purpose Oil

7:32 AM
This stuff is Nuxe's bestselling product. It sells some crazy amount every few seconds and it really is luxuriously pleasing to use. I leave this on my top-shelf where the golden packaging gives a fine boost to the entire visage of my top-shelf :) It's a multi-purpose oil that you could use for your face, hair, and body with their signature Prodigieuse scent embedded in it. The smell is really lovely and rich. The bottle came with a sample parfum that I used it and have since seriously considered getting it (however resisting knowing I have enough perfumes!)


I haven't tried it on my face yet. I'm a bit wary of scented products on my face, but I have definitely tried it on my body and hair. I think this does amazing things to my hair. It has the Moroccan Oil effect but without the heaviness that it has. I also know that some people dislike the smell of the Moroccan oil. Well peeps, why not try this one? It's scent is... I couldn't tell you. It's not one of those "note" thingies so go try it out yourselves. It leaves my hair feeling super soft and shiny, and even bouncy. It doesn't weight down at all.


For body, you can spritz it or spray it on your hands and rub it through. It is a drying oil so it doesn't leave any grease on your skin. I don't feel this penetrates your skin and hydrates immensely but it does leave your outer skin supple and soft, and smelling nice :)

Love it. It's a nice luxury oil to use for hair and body (and face if you want)! I'd have to use this up at least half to know if this is a must repurchase, but I'm loving the experience thus far!

French Pharmacie & Beauty Haul

8:26 AM
My sister took a trip to Paris and while her stay there, I sent over a list of French products I wanted from their pharmacies. I've had quite a list built up from watching a lot of Youtubers and beauty gurus and their gush over French skincare. However, with the currency exchange and the calculation, most of them were near the same price as if you were to get them here in NY. The ones I feature in my video are ones that were slightly cheaper.


I also added in some miscellany products I was dying for as well. One was the Diptyque perfume which I heard was much cheaper in Paris than they were here. I am an addict of Diptyque and in particular, "my scent" is the Eau Duelle one. She stocked me up on a large and small bottle of it, and I couldn't be more content! I had run out of my old bottle just in time to start with these, fresh from Paris!

The other non-pharmacy product was the Cire Trudon candles... which if you are a candle junkie you will know that this is just a must-have (well, subjectively speaking). It's the oldest candle company run today and the packaging is the utmost regal. The store in fact, is here in NYC as well but the price just isn't a bargain. It's not shocking but still, if I could get it cheaper why not, right? The scent my sister bought for me was the Earnesto, which smells clean, fresh, herbal, and botanical!

Watch my video as I go through each product and gush over their divine beings... :)

Nars Eyeshadow DUO "Isolde" (SWATCHED w/ Naked Palette from URBAN DECAY)

10:12 AM
This is the eyeshadow I featured in my Sephora Haul post and video, the one I said I tried to resist away from but eventually caved to. It is the Nars Eyeshadow Duo called "Isolde". It's this sheeny gold and dark gold duo, and when you swatch it on the back of your hands, you see that the pigmentation and content is just mindblowingly great. With one sweep you get this coat of thick metallic gold, and the two colors complement each other so well. The are so creamy and blendable. 






The reason why I hesitated at first was because it seemed similar to the Urban Decay Naked Palette color "Half-baked", which is their gold eye shadow. It's also the one I apply the most, and I didn't want a repetition. I knew that the darker gold was something I didn't have, but I wanted to make sure that the golds weren't the same as the Naked palette.


Just from the case, the two do look similar. I find that the Half-baked is a bit more shimmery than the Nars one but all in all, both of them are more "metallic" and "wet" than they are "shimmery" or "sparkly".


So here's the swatch of them. The Nars gold is a bit more orange and brown whereas the Half-baked is a true yellow gold. The Isolde is great for the summer to achieve that bronze  metallic eye look. Now that I say that, these colors also remind me of my Estee Lauder Bronze Sands Eye palette! I didn't know I was this obsessed with golds!

Although all three of these colors look HEAVY DUTY, they aren't. They are perhaps more wearable for tan skin because the golds look more of their skin tone than say pale skin. Both the Nars gold and the Half-baked from Urban Decay give me a close to my skin color base for all over my lid. They I apply the dark gold at the outer corners and in my crease areas. Indoors, they look defined and pretty. Outdoors, I get this metallic eye look that I find so flattering!

June Glossybox (USA) 2012

12:22 PM
The June Glossybox came in July...! If only they'd deliver it or ensure that the month's Glossybox would actually arrive in that month, it'd be only 200 million times better. Well, that being said, right in the first day of July I had to head out of town and so I finally was able to pick up my box when I came back... which was today. I couldn't contain my curiosity so I did check online to see what people got in their boxes. I had a heads up but I was still thrilled to see what the products were.


Interestingly enough, I hadn't received a Glossybox beauty card explaining what each of the products were for the May Glossybox. I thought that's just how it was, but realized my box was just missing it. Thankfully, I received both the beauty card AND a Glossy Magazine! I'm not sure if it's their new edition but whatever the case, now the box seems extra fuller! The concept of the box is titled SUMMER SIMPLICITY.

The products I received are:

  • Ahava Mineral Botanic Hibiscus & Fig Velvet Cream Wash
  • First Aid Beauty Smooth Shave Cream 
  • Ofra Cosmetics Eye Shadow ICE (Black)
  • vBeauté skincare
  • Wella Professionals Enrich Moisturizing Treatment (For hair)
  • BONUS: Urban Organics from a PERFUME ORGANIC daytime fragrance sample 



I love that all besides the First Aid Beauty are brands I've never heard of or tried. I'm excited to try them, and they all smell so fresh and lovely. I especially love the eye shadow. It's in a tube and the color is very similar to NARS eyeshadow "Lhasa".

Anyway, I'm going to go now and read up what's in the Glossy Mag!

How do you like your Glossybox?

BIODERMA Créaline H2O: Makeup Remover HOW TO

9:42 AM
I might do a mini French pharmacy haul, not necessarily the shopping I did but what my sister did for me while her stay in Paris! The very first thing I begged her to pick up was this, the Bioderma Créaline H2O. It's always talked about as one of the best makeup removers for sensitive skin. 


Honestly, I'm one of those lazy people that want the makeup removing done all in one with cleansing and stuff. But I must admit, it's partly because I hate the feeling of applying oil on my face and feeling it mix around my face while in the process of "removing".

At first, I was lost on how to use this Bioderma H20. I thought you first apply it directly on hands and massage into face. If you have this product, you'll know that that's nearly impossible because the content is H20 and it easily trickles down and out of your hands. You find you can't massage it on your face, and all in all, you end up using a ton of it on your face with little effect.

Thought, this must NOT be how to use it for all it's hyped up about! I read the directions with my blurry French skills, and found you were to apply it on a cotton pad first and sweep it all across your face.

Holy moly! What a simple and big difference. I find it is so soothing on the skin, and gentle. It does a wonderful job in removing makeup and I see now what Lisa Eldrige meant when she said she could do three four different makeups in consecutive on a model's face as long as she had this non-irritating yet totally effective makeup remover/cleanser.

What I love is that you don't have the thick substance of oil. It feels, seriously, just like water. Even when you get close to your eyes trying to dissolve the eyeliner right on your lash line, you'll find it doesn't hurt your eye or get your contacts blurry if you have contact lens on.

The price says about 14 euros. What does that convert to, somewhere in the twenty dollars? I find it not as accessible in America. You can buy it on Amazon but I found it much pricer than what they sell for in France.

I got the large size (three of them...) and a travel size which is all too cute.

Have you guys tried this out? What do you think?
