Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eyeliners

Working 24/7

Hello All! I wanted to this review on an eyeliner that I have been LOVING lately! It is the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners. I am recently loving their black called Zero. I have had horrible luck with eyeliners in the past. This is the first eyeliner that I have tried that isn't from the drugstore or Avon. The other eyeliners that I have tried in the past have NOTHING on this eyeliner.

Some of the reasons why I love this eyeliner is the fact that it is very creamy when you apply it. It takes no warming up on your hand to be glide across your eyelid. It instantly transfers to your eyelid or waterline. Another thing that sets this apart is the staying power. It really does live up to its name of 24/7. I have had no problem with it running from my lower lash line or fading on my upper lash line. It does lose intensity on the waterline but that is understandable due to the amount of moisture that is in that area. 

My only problem with this product is that it is in a pencil format and you have to sharpen it. I would absolutely love if this product was in an automatic pencil format. But we can't win them all haha. I have a few other colors like the brown (Demolition) and purple (Rockstar) but I haven't used them quite as much as Zero.

Overall I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a good eyeliner that stays in place. It is a little pricey when it comes eyeliners. It is $19.00 and is sold at Urban Decay online, Ulta and Sephora stores. If you have any further questions for me about this product feel free to leave them in the comments below!

Tarte Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara

Mascara Review

I wanted to inform you all about an AMAZING mascara I've been using for the last month. I received this mascara in a Tarte gift set from my boyfriend for our anniversary. I was a little skeptical about it because I have only heard about the Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara from Tarte, but this mascara definitely proved that it was well worth the risk.

3 Components 

The three main components of this mascara that set it apart from all of the other mascaras that I have tried include the formula, the wand, and how the mascara wears. 

1st Component

The first thing about this mascara that quickly made it my favorite is the fact that it is a mix between a wet and dry formula. The formula is wet enough to allow for multiple coats without having to wait or the lashes clumping together. But the formula isn't dry enough where you feel like it is difficult to apply or leaving clumps of mascara in your lashes (which I have had problems with in the past). 

2nd Component

The second thing that made me fall in love with this mascara is that the wand is big without being obnoxiously large (like the Cover Girl Lash Blast wand). The wand doesn't have a curve in it like most new mascaras and has traditional bristles. It tapers at the end a little that allows for me to get the little and sparse lashes that are in the inner corner. 

3rd Component

The final aspect of this mascara is how long the mascara wears throughout the day. I haven't had any problem with this mascara flaking throughout the day. It isn't waterproof but it is very long wearing. Another factor of this mascara that I enjoy is that it keeps my eyelashes flexible. I don't feel as though my lashes are going to break off due to how hard the mascara may have made them. I have had many problems with other mascaras that make me scared to even try to take them off for the fear of having lashes broken off. 

All in all, I would really recommend this mascara to anyone who looks for similar things withing a mascara. You can find it at Sephora (sephora.com), Ulta (ulta.com), or Tarte online (tartecosmetics.com). It sells for $19.00 which is a little bit on the pricey side but I promise that it is worth it!

as always <3,
