Milani Ultrafine Liquid Eye Liner

I love eyeliner!! So I was super duper excited to try out the new Ultrafine Liquid eye liner line by Milani Cosmetics! Eye liner is def one of my never can live without items so I can admit I am pretty picky when it comes to finding the right eyeliner.

So let's check them out....

The Ultra Fine collection consists of 5 different colors: Black Vinyl (BV), Black Gem (BG), Prismatic Purple (PP), Sparkling Turquoise (ST) and Emerald Glisten (ET)

With regards to application the eyeliner tip is quite easy to apply onto your eyes. Since the tip is thin you do have to keep diping it back into the holder to get more eyeliner.

Here is a quick swatch of each of the colors. One thing I forgot to do before I applied the liner was shake it around to make sure the liner was evenly distributed. My bad =(
BV-is a solid dark black color
BG- is a black color with a multicolor shimmer
PP- is a purple color with blue shimmer
 ST is a turquoise blue with a hint of blue shimmer to it
EG is a emerald green color

I did a quick swatch of Sparkling Turquoise. Really pretty color! I usually steer away from color eyeliners but not going to lie this color is pretty! I could def wear it here and there.

Prismatic purple swatch. Should have mixed the liquid liner before applying it but I forgot. Either that or I could have applied another layer. Again, the color isn't that bad at all. Kind of got my eyes open to trying out color liners!

Overall, the liners have pretty good pigmentation. Def shake them before use! I really like the Black Vinyl color bc of course I love black liner. Lasts pretty long and only tends to come off on the very inner eyes but I tend to have very watery eyes due to allergies so I can't say if its the liner or my eyes. I love the turquiose color especially and excited to be open to trying more kinds of colors!

Price-$7.49
Where to find-Any drug stores-CVS, Walmart, Walgreens, Target, grocery stores or Online

Essence Cosmetics

Before I moved to Texas I only shopped at Sephora and never set foot in an Ulta store. My Ulta in CA stunk really bad, I thought they only carried drug store beauty products that I could get at any retailer like Target. But when I moved to Texas that was the closest beauty store to me and I really grew to like and appreciate the brands it offered that I didn't see at Sephora. One of these is the Essence, a extremely affordable German based Cosmetic Company. Today I have to share with you products in the Winter 2012 Collection.

The first product I tried was the XXXL Shine lip gloss in Big Night Out ($2.49)

Doesn't this swatch show how shiny this gloss is? It is a nude color with lots of shimmer to it.

The color is very natural on and makes lips extremely sparkly. I am not a big fan of glitter but it is not as bad as other ones are. The texture is not goopy but a good consistency.

The next thing I got to try was the Liquid eyeliner ($3.29) in black.

I am def not good at applying liquid liner with the little brush applicator so I was so happy to see this thicker brush for the liner. It made applying the liner soooooo much easier and I recommend this type of liner for beginners bc you can get a pretty uniform line as opposed to using the thinner brush like applicator.

Pigment of the liner is pretty good and it isn't streaky or anything. Liner lasted my entire work day and when I was going to bed I noticed it started coming off on the inner top eyelid but most of them do anyways.

The final product I got to try was I love stage Eyeshadow base. Now I know most of you like myself love your Potion primer but for a college student that can be quite expensive. So you know I was excited to give this more affordable one.

It has the same brush applicator like the eye liner so it is very easy to apply the product onto your eyelids.

The base is a nude color and stays nude when you rub it in. Swatches of the Base alone, with a nude shadow and finally with the shadow alone. Didn't pick a really good color to show but the base does allow the shadow to be a little more pigmented.

When applied to my shadow it helps your shadow last all day long (UD Brown from Theodora Palette) Not bad right?

Overall, these products are def not bad. And for the amazing price that they are you can beat it? I def suggest for those of you who are on a tight budget to check out some of the products Essence has to offer! I am impressed and can't wait to head on over to Ulta to try some more of there products!
