The Perfect Eyeliner

I've tried all kinds of liquid eyeliners. Each and every time I hope it'll be the one that will give me that perfect look I hope for and they I always fail. Every. single. time.

You know what I mean, I always hoped for it to look at least a little like this:

The other night on a usual late night Walmart run with the boyfriend, I stared at the makeup isles for quite some time. I needed my regular powder since mine was out and I knew I needed more eyeliner and almost bought another tube of my usual Almay eyeliner in black-brown since it's never failed me. Then I came across Revlon's Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen. The little brush liquid liners were the ones that I could never get the hang of, but this clearly said pen, so maybe...just maybe...it would really work? I put my faithful Almay back and decided to give the Revlon Pen a chance, doubting my choice all the way to checkout.

When I got home I opened up the new liner and gave it a go. It was so quick, easy, and flawless. I'm sold. I couldn't be happier that I've found a liquid liner that is actually easy to apply. The pen is felt so it's more steady than the little brushes in the usual liquid eyeliners. This stuff is around $7, but when you're buying liner (even in Walmart) that's about average - and totally worth every penny. So if you're looking for a new liner, give this a try! You just might love it!

Review of Samy Fat Foam Hair Color

I've been coloring my hair at home for years. Every so often I will go to the salon, but my home color just seems to stay longer and doesn't hurt my wallet as much. I've been eager to color my hair for a couple of weeks and when I came across this Fat Foam in Wal-mart the other day (sorry, I can't remember the exact price but I believe it was around $8), I just knew I had to try it. I have had auburn/red/brown hair forever and they had the perfect shade named "Deep Cherry Brown" that I wanted to try. 

This is what their Facebook fan page claims: 

"Non-drip whipped foam wraps each hair strand allowing even color from root to end
100% gray coverage
Easy and mistake proof, even for the first time user
What's inside: color powder, base solution, gloves, shampoo, conditioner, mixing shaker and instructions
One application covers shoulder-length hair"

 

So I got my supplies out and started the process... 

and then waited...and waited a little more...and this is what I ended up with!

 

Pros: 

• Covered all of my hair! I am usually squeezing the very last of the color out of the tube of normal hair coloring kits to get every inch covered. This foam covered my entire head and I even had extra. 
• You know how you get hair color on your skin? Well, with this stuff...it somehow just rubs off. I say that's pretty amazing. No more breaking out the alcohol to scrub around my hairline! 
• Achieved the color I wanted with even coverage
• I loved that it came with shampoo! Most kits only provide conditioner and tell you to NOT shampoo right after coloring. I can't stand having to wait. The little extra scrubbing helps get all the color out. 
• About the same price as other color products
  

Cons:

• They claim that it's a "no-drip" foam. I'd agree to a certain extent...but I still made the same mess as I have previously with liquid hair colors. If you only use a little bit at a time, you shouldn't have any issues.
• I seemed to have more hair falling out than usual when I was rinsing. I have no clue if this has anything to do with the product - but I think it still needs to be noted. 

Overall, I give this stuff two thumbs up and will definitely be using it in the future!!!
