I've been using L'oréal Super Liner Silkissime for about a week now and I really like it. It has it's positive sides along with some few negative.

 

Let's start with the positive.

It is truly black! I love that you don't get a dark dark grey or something nearly black, it's just black. It has a bit glossy finish wich might put someone of but I don't care.

It's truly waterproof and smudge proof. It won't get you all day long with a completely black waterline but black enough and atleast for the first few hours. As a liner along your lashline it's a dream, wont smudge or fade at all. I can have quite watery eyes but it stays put and doesn't blend with the eyeshadow as alot of other liners I've tried out.

 

Negative:

It dries too quick. It might be something odd to put on a negative list but if you want to blend it you have to do it the second after you've applied it or it will dry and be unmovable. Not great if you want to use it as a black base. If you don't care about that then put it on the positive side.

It's quite expensive to be a "drugstore" product. I'm not saying it's expensive since it's about €10-11 but it's still something above what I would expect for an eyeliner from L'oréal.

 

All in all. I love the eyeliner as a liner but it's not as versitile as alot of other liners are.

Will I buy it again? I surely would!

 

 

I've been using the Olay Essentails Refreshing Face Wash for about a week now and here are some of my thoughts about it.

It smells absolutely lovely, as I'm allergic to strong perfumes I can say that it's not to strong at all and it doesn't really linger to long either, a great plus on that.

As for cleansing, it doesn't take away makeup as much as I would want it to. Now why this is important to me is because I (as many others) am quite lazy with cleaning my skin before bed and every step I can skip I will (on a daily basis, I clean it thoroughly every time I shower though). Now with this I have to use some kind of makeup remover or clean it twice to get my makeup of. For me this makes me wanting something else, if you're not that kind of a person this is a great product.

It really leaves the skin soft and mosturized after the wash and I love the feel of it.

It has a quite funny texture, something in between a gel and slime. When you put it in your hand you can press down on it and not like smearing it. I can't really explain it but it is nothing like your ordinary soap. And you just have to use a tiny amount (size of your fingertip) to get a lather that will clean your face, however to get the small amount needed you really have to try to not get to much product. On the other hand it's nothing you can't live with spending the product since it is really cheap! 150 ml for approx. £3 (in Sweden around 70 kr).

 

Now on the down side and this is a really small note.

Unfortunately I'm allergic to it. This is something that kinda startles me because on the face I can't feel a thing but my hands dry out quicker than quick and  gives me cracks from dryness, just on the hands! Now I'm allergic to alot of soaps so I'm not really surpriced about that but the fact that it's only on the hands and not the face makes me confused.

 

Because of that last thing I won't be repurchasing it (will use it up though) but I really do recommend it to everyone sensitive skin or not because it's a great product.

 

 

If I weren't allergic to it it would probably get an 8 out of 10 bearing in mind that I rather want a face wash taking my makeup of completely, or atleast better than this one does.

Since I needed a new face wash and a new eyeliner I went out and bought it today.

Facial wash wise I had a soap that I loved and that took away makeup like a dream but they stopped making it and since then I've been on the look for a new one but haven't found any that have been as good so now I tried a new one again and hopefully it'll be great!

 

Eyeliner wise I've been using Maybelline Master Drama Kohl Liner basically since it first came out and I love it. It's waterproof (though smudges a little) and just great. But it's soooo soft that everytime I sharpen it it kinda breaks again. Anyways now the cap is longer then the liner and I actually went out to buy another one but found one from L'oréal instead that's supposed to be waterproof and smudge free so lets see how it does.

As far as I can say it is rather soft and extremly waterproof, tried to wash it of with my new face wash and after alot of rubbing I still have some residue on my arm. It's very black aswell but seem to have a shiny finish.

 

More reviews about the product will come when I had the time to try them out a little bit.

 

 

Lately I've been in this state where I really want to do fun make up looks but I just don't have the inspiration to it. It kinda feels like I've done everything, used every shadow, every technique, everything.

Now of course this isn't the truth but I just can't think of inspiring things to do. I think we've all been there.

 

My solutions so far:

Google something. Like anything (jibberish like nhigoewhurg works fine), then look at the picture-results and try to find a picture I like and can get inspiration from.

YouTube something. Now here I'm at a halt because I really feel I've done everything I like there.

Ask friends to come up with colour suggestions. Usually I ask for one or two colours and whatever they say I have to use it!

 

My newest (and probably most challenging) addition

 

This is not a new website or anything but I decided to make a list over my eyeshadows in the 100 pc palettes from ELF, giving each shadow different names (like 1.1, 1.2, 2.3 and so on) and writing them in the list, then I created the randomized list. This won't give you a certain number of shadows to use, just swap around the placement of the shadows you put in so I used their number generator and chose a range from 1-10 and it gave me number 5.

So I decided to use shadows 1-5 from the list I created.

 

Obviosly this can give you totally horrendous colour combinations, but that's the fun and challenging part. How to create a look with all the colours given and not end up looking like a clown.

I had such luck that it gave me two purple, a blue, a white and a brown shadow. Nothing to hard to mix.

 

Of course you can make up your own "rules" about how to use the random-generator. This is just how I did it and I thought it was a fun and different way of deciding what to use.

You could do a "highlighter list", "eyelid list", "crease list" and so on if you want to make sure to get it all (otherwise you might end up with a random number of dark shadows but nothing colourful or highlighting)

 

Also, if you want to this more than once I suggest you save your shadow-list somewhere on the computer so you don't have to make a new list every time you want to do a new look. That's probably the most time consuming part.

 

Here's the look I created (sorry for the low quality editing, I just wanted to do this really quick before I wen't to work)
