Glow by Lady E

This was a gift from my BFF Ahne for my birthday this year along with these babies . I have to admit that I was scared to use them right away. First, because I was not familiar with the brand. Second, I have terrible eye allergies when it comes to liners and mascaras. However, after using the nail lacquers, I was convinced that I needed to try these. I first tried the mascara. It was great. I have long lashes to begin with and the mascara made them stand out even more. I wore it for a few hours to church and the mall afterwards and I didn't experience any itchiness or redness.  I was saving the eye liner for a smokey look but I didn't know when that was so one day, I just used it as I would a regular liner. Wow, I was impressed! It was like using Urban Decay! It goes on smoothly, doesn't cake or break. I smudged it out a little using the other end to make the lines straighter. My worry at this point was raccoon eyes come afternoon. I am happy to report th...

I dug these photos up in my archives. They are possibly from 5 months ago when I stopped blogging. Don’t be afraid of color! I made this EOTD using the Pride and Lust palettes of Wet n Wild. (L-R) Pride, Lust I love these palettes as they are affordable and they perform well. You usually can’t expect a drugstore makeup to be good but Wet n Wild eyeshadows are an exception. The colors look daunting at first but the trick lies within your fingers and your brush. Lightly brush against the colors several times then tap your brush for a lighter day look. For night, do heavier strokes and don’t forget to tap to avoid fallouts. These eyeshadows tend to have fallouts but nothing that my ELF fan brush can’t fix.  Just keep building the colors until you reach your desired effect. I have a lot of Wet n Wild eyeshadows and there are a few more that I want to buy. I’m just trying hard to stop myself because I still have a ton of makeup to last me for years!

This is another gift that I got for my birthday from a benefactor in the States. I have only used 3 of them, I think. They last a really long time, as expected from Urban Decay shadows. (L-R) Delinquent, Rehab, Juju, Sin, Clash I have to admit, I’ve been using them as liners because I keep forgetting that I have them. I apply eyeshadow and suddenly I remember this or I see this when I turn around. That happens all the time. I will try to make a decent EOTD using these pencils. I did not remove this swatch. I did several chores around the house requiring me to wash my hands several times and I still had some color left. It was only completely removed when I took a bath and this was without primer. I also love the fact that they don’t smudge even after a whole day. I tend to destroy “smudge-free” promises. It’s such a shame to use them up thought. I don’t think I have the heart…
