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.

There's a little funny story about when I bought this palette. It was the weekend before my birthday and ELF (eyes lips face) had an offer so I decided to order but wasn't sure if I should since I didn't know if my sister had bought it for me for my birthday or not.

However I decided to buy it and on my birthday I got the gift from my sister, start to unwrap it but stop and she said "Don't tell me you did something stupid" and I said "I think I have", yes my sister bought it for me! But then I just gave my to mum instead when it arrived so problem solved!

 

On to the actual review.

The name of the palette says pretty much everything, it is a palette with 100 shadows and some of them (11 if I counted right) have a marbled effect, meaning the shadow has two different colours. This is not an overspray its genuinely two shadows from top to bottom (can't really swear about that since I haven't hit pan on any).

The size of the palette is ~ 23.5 x 19 cm and about 1.5 cm high. The shadows are ~ 1.5 x 2 cm which is a decent size for the price!

 

The range of colours are amazing, there are alot of neutrals (about half the palette) and alot of brights with a lot of different textures. Unlike the "regular" 100 pc Eyeshadow Palette this one has alot of matte colours and not mainly frosty as the regular one has. This was probably the selling point for me, not the marble shadows. All in all the marble palette is much more appealing with the bright colours than the regular.

 

For those who love bright colours like me I recommend to buy both since the colours are really different, if you only want to buy one of them, go with the marble. If you prefer neutrals you could go either way, the regular have more darker browns and the marble one have more light beige/golden colours but I wouldn't get both since they are pretty much the same on the neutral side.

 

Now to the quality of the shadows.

I find this one to be a little less powdery than their other shadows and the shadows are alot softer. It's really like petting a cat to put them on your fingers. They are quite hard to swatch (which you will see in the swatch-parts of this review) especially the matte colours, but as long as you use a primer/base they look beautiful on the eyes!

They are pigmented and stay vivid all day long (again, as long as you use a primer/base). I wouldn't use them wet since this will ruin the colours (did that mistake with my other 100 palette).

As for the marbled eyeshadows, I'm not really a big fan of them usually since they usually always become a dirty mix of the colours, but that's not the case for these ones. The colours don't really mix with each other (you'll see what I mean when you see the swatches) so you either get two colours or only one of them will show up, with an exception for the frosty/shimmery colours where the shadows mix and becomes beautiful colours. But I will talk a little bit more about that in the swatch-posts.

 

For this review not to be super long and crowded with pictures I will include close ups and swatches in parts 2 and 3!
