SEXY EYES: Clinique gel eyeliner

I have to admit, I really like this eyeliner.

Today is my second day wearing this from 6:30am- 9:00pm. It did stay on with no smudges, and it is definitely better than the MAC eyeliner, which began smudging by 11am. The Clinique eyeliner, however, did not burn and maybe, I touched it up once during the day, which is great because I am busy at work.

If you apply it with a light hand, it'll go on with ease.


There are two things I honestly don't like and these are:

  • The brush: This is only useful for that winged look
  • If you use too much; it can go on kinda thick, which isnt good for daytime...especially in a professional setting.
Pros:
  • Long lasting
  • True color
  • It can be used on the water line 
  • Cheap! 
All in all, I will purchase this product again because it is affordable $15 at Sephora.

Givenchy Healthy Glow- NEW!

I walked into Sephora looking for a blot powder. But as always, the sales associate will show you something completely different.  She introduced me to Givenchy Healthy Glow Powder. I was a bit unsure about this because when I opened it, it seemed kinda creamy in texture. And it was not what I was looking for.

So here's what it looks like:



 While its very neatly packaged and small, I see this as a light highlighter. You really gotta swirl the brush around in the compact in order to see a glow on your skin. I would recommend this for:
  • Yearly use 
  • For day time light makeup
  • On cheeks, chin and above the brow 


I would NOT suggest this if:
  • You have oily skin 
  • You are looking for something to replace with your usual powder routine 
  • You need to cover up spots and soak up some facial oils 
  • You are on a tight budget
It was indeed a pricey product $50. But I guess its a great investment for year round use. As for if i'll buy this product again? I doubt it. Maybe I need more time with it. Check back in a few weeks for another update.

Sleek package!
