Revlon vs. Sephora liquid eyeliner review

Went to Walmart today for some stuff~

Kiss Brush-On Nail Glue

REVLON ColorStay Liquid Liner

REVLON ColorStay Eyeliner

Martha Stewart Holidays heart glitter

Brush-On glue for when my nail-tips come.

Also heard really good reviews about Revlon ColorStay products so decided to give them a try.

Also since I've been raping the last of my pencil eyeliners.

And Martha Stewart's gorgeous heart glitter.

Man, I love after-Valentine's sale. They only had one left too!

Oh, and a Bead Storage System for mixing my acrylic powder with glitter when they come in the mail (:

Aw look at the pink tabs!

So I decided to do a comparison for you guys! (:

SEPHORA vs. REVLON

SEPHORA - $12 CAD

REVLON - $8 CAD

By the way, I've been using Sephora's shimmering black liquid liner for about a year now.
The first bottle seemed to work best for me.
So that always brings me back and I'm on my third bottle right now.
But really, the eyeliner runs off like mad once in contact with water.
It easily washes off when I'm taking off my make-up and when my eyes get watery, I need to reapply.
Terrible when my allergies are acting up.
It also gets chunky around 12 hours after application on my way home from school.

The black-ness of it might be taken away from the fact that it's shimmery though.
I'm gonna miss it... haha.

Too bad they don't have REVLON in shimmer though...

I like glittery things. :P

And well, from the pictures, you could tell I'm really excited to try REVLON tomorrow.

Yummy yummy in my tummy~

And I have mid-terms on Monday when reading week ends...

Which reminds me... I should get to studying now. (:

Bye-bye~

Urban Decay's Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows

Sorry for not updating for so long!

School was keeping me busy, but it's finally Reading Week!

Which means I get a week of no school and I spent the first day of it waking up late and playing Kingdom Hearts...

Valentine's Day!!

I got my boyfriend two boxes of chocolates from Laura Secord

and... Bioshock 2 Special Edition! It comes with the original game, a vinyl record of the soundtrack, the soundtrack on CD, 3 posters, and a BEAUTIFUL art book all contained into a sturdy sexy box.

I hardly get to shop by myself since I'm with him everytime we go downtown for school.

So I had to lie to him and say I needed to go to the washroom.

Ran down a block to BestBuy and got the last one in stock!

I had a hard time convincing him not to get it for himself too. d:

He got me Urban Decay's Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows!

And a very sweet card which he photoshopped and made himself that I absolutely love to death.

It's so touching and kinda makes me cry, but out of joy. (:

So here's the Book of Shadows~

Full pop-up with slide-out palette.

Pop-up details.

Palette.

It cost him $150 for it... I feel really bad but I will cherish this palette till the end of time!

It's the most beautiful thing in the world! And the price is just going to keep on increasing!

Except if Urban Decay decides to reproduce it...

I've bought a lot of stuff this month so I'll update with a haul entry later. (:

Right now, I gotta clean my room.

It's a total mess since I haven't had any time to clean it for the past two weeks.

Bronchitis again!

After class yesterday, felt sick... thought it was because of fasting but woke up with a terrible sore throat and stuffy nose and headaches. Fever was at 37.8 this morning. And just now...

._. I feel terrible. Thing is I also have a lot of assignments due on Friday. So I gotta finish them all tomorrow... It was pretty outside when I woke up though~

So I went to see the doctor... and apparently I've got bronchitis again for the second time this year... Got some antibiotics, Apo-Clarithromycin. I've been getting prescribed so many antibiotics, at this rate when I reach 20, I'll be immune to them D:

And the doctor's clinic was at a mall so I just picked up a little something~

Five Mickey Mouse folders~

And a Playboy pillow. (;

So things I gotta do tomorrow: critical response, 10 photoshopped collages, rough sketches for italian restaurant, cd cover using in-class life-drawing pictures.

Agh my head is hot and my hands are freezing cold.

Found this Starling rose print hoodie from Craigslist! It's so cute! Still contacting seller (:

Oh I lost 5 pounds since last week!

Need to lose 20 more pounds before May; trip to Hong Kong!

Bye Bye January

Tomorrow's February (: The month of pink and red and white and <3

So I have an allergic reaction on my eye. ): I went to the doctors for a cream this morning. 

Dermatop

Prednicarbate emollient cream 0.1%

Topical corticosteroid

I have no clue what that meant... but it had the word steroid in it! AH!

So this is my Motorola KRZR which I got around last year... and the jewels are starting to fall off at the top end. I need to replace it... but can't find anything as pretty as this purple pattern.

I've become attached too... don't know if I should let it go or not. >.>

I got my bluetooth last week and this was the most inexpensive model they had. It was black and depressing and since it camouflages into my hair, people look at me thinking I talk to myself. So I decided to decorate it.

Went to bf's house yesterday to do our assignments and other things, hehe.

Here's his cute puppy: Cookie! He needs a hair cut haha.

And his sister came home last night from her bf's house with a 6 week old girl puppy! SO cute. She's a mix between Golden Retriever and Poodle <3 Cookie was so jealous of the attention we gave her.

And to end the night, my bf bought Mickey Mouse 75th Anniversary Collector's Edition.

Yes, those last two blue properties belong to me, haha. Unfortunately... he's a beast at monopoly and hotel street raped me.

And just got my paycheck for teaching Japanese this month!

Not much but at least compensated for my splurge at Disney Store, haha.

Back to work!

Going back to Hong Kong

So it's official! My mom is ordering tickets for my family to go back to Hong Kong after school ends in late April or early May. I don't want to talk to her about it right now because I was against the trip.

I initially planned my full four months of summer to consist of full-time working and losing weight while spending the weekends with my boyfriend. So I kept telling my mom I didn't want to go... Well that's too bad for me now!

I will just resume my plans for when I get back... but I want to lose at least 20 lbs before I go back. Think of all the tiny clothes I could fit into! Bleh... After I finish posting, I really should get back to finishing my essay and developing all my concepts and sketches for my two major assignments.

So my brother came home for the weekend and when he does, we have to go to Walmart to pick up supplies for him. On our way out of there, I saw Maybelline's new EYESTUDIO line and decided to pick one up. It was approximately $10 CAD if I remember correctly... The palette I bought (photo above) is "05 GIVE ME GOLD."

Now I'm a pretty big fan of Maybelline... I use their Mineral Power foundation everyday and have some random lipsticks and mascaras from them (rarely use though). I've used this palette twice so far... Personally for me, the second colour, the bright yellow-ish gold is too much for me. Maybe I should've spent more than 2 seconds when I passed by the display case to actually look at other palettes. By the way, here is the commercial/tutorial for it. Seems pretty simple and great effect, right?

Four simple steps to stunning~ Definitely. But the pigment of the shadows don't satisfy me. You probably have to dig deep into the shadows to get what is shown in the commercial. Maybe it's just me though. I've read some reviews that it's really well-pigmented. However, I'm still going to keep testing this out for a while longer. I tried following the steps in the commercial but my eyes don't look like the asian models. By the way, I've only applied them with an eyeshadow brush and not the applicator it comes with so I will be sure to try that.

Made a pretty fruit arrangement for Minnie. Nomnomnom.

I'm going to finish my work for tomorrow now. Bye~
