No I'm not dead. I was just really busy.



Wet n Wild Mega Eyes Creme Liner

A great dupe for M.A.C.'s Fluidline, this gel liner is dirt cheap and works like a charm! Amazingly easy to apply, nice bold colour and extremely long staying power (maybe too long haha). This liner is smudge proof, long lasting and dries quickly! Downside is that the packaging is cheap and the brush that comes with it is quite useless. Better to use your own. (:


L'Oreal Line Intensifique Extreme Wear Liquid Liner




Liquid eyeliners are always tricky to use. But this gem, with a sponge tip applicator, makes applying a breeze! The pointed tip gives you control and you can apply a precise line with thickness to your preference. And the colour stays put all day long! Easy to wash on and off.


N.Y.C. Waterproof Liner Pencil



This liner goes on creamy and is quite pigmented so it lasts a long time. Smooth application and very inexpensive (one of the cheapest in the drugstore)! I do remember this smudging on me slightly after a long day at school (12+ hours). Nothing a Q-Tip can't fix!


L'Oreal H.I.P. Cream Eyeliner



Just like their H.I.P. eyeshadows, L'Oreal's eyeliners have a bold colour, are easy to apply and last forever. A little goes a long way (the one in Black is really intense) but the colours can be built up. The brush that comes with the liner is too harsh and stiff to apply a decent line. Use your own!


Tip: To make your gel/creme liners last longer, store upside down to prevent drying out. If it does happen, mix with a little baby oil or gelatin.

With the poor economy nowadays, everyone is trying to save their money. And I'm sure I'm not the only girl who who can't afford top makeup brands every time. Why not get more bang for your buck by buying drugstore makeup instead? Believe it or not, there are high quality ones out there to give you the look you want but for a lower price. ;)

L'Oreal H.I.P.



Stands for High Intensity Pigment and they're not kidding around (: The eyeshadow is very high quality and extremely pigmented. The colours are very vibrant and dramatic and may not be for everyone, especially those who favor more mild shades like pastel. Many say that L'Oreal H.I.P. is a fantastic M.A.C. dupe.


Milani Runway Eyes Palette



These eyeshadows are very pigmented, shimmery and blendable. They can be applied wet for a metallic look or dry for a sheer shimmer. All the colours complement each other perfectly. They can be used individually or all together for a gorgeous look. Unfortunately the eyeshadows are quite fragile and may crack or crumble easily.


NYX Ultra Pearl Mania



These are jars of finely milled, eyeshadow pigments to be mixed with water for bold colour. Can also be applied dry for a sheer look. NYX has a very large range of colours so it's easy to find a shade that you want. Apparently they sell for only 99 cents, while M.A.C. pigments retail for over $20!


Revlon Matte Eyeshadow



Nicely pigmented, goes on smooth and has no shimmer (some people don't like it). The colour can be built up and blended and it stays on all day! The only bad part is that Relvon has a very limited range of colours...


E.L.F. Custom Eyes



As with every other E.L.F. product, these are only $1! Their shades are quite well pigmented and goes on silky smooth. The result is a satiny look with just a hint of shimmer. For only a buck, it feels like a steal!


Drugstore blush, eyeliner, lipstick and foundation coming up when I feel less tired = =
