kat von d liner tattoo

There's certain things that as a makeup enthusiasts  I just can't seem to justify. One of these things is liquid eyeliner. If I really wanted I can just use my mascara as eyeliner , but it would be more time I would need. So here I mean reviewing  product I really wanted to love.

The eyeliner itself is not awful. It's black, not the darkest but it's black. The felt tip is good which gives you more control when applying. My thing is its not that black. When I apply it once my eyeshadow is done I have to go over it at least one more time before  it looks black. I have tried shaking the pen before applying and there was no difference.

The eye liner I have been using for a long time is the nyc  and I love it. Applicator is a bit different but I love it. I have enough control and I didn't have to spend 20+ dollars on something that works better for less than 3 dollars . 
So yes it a liquid eyeliner but I don't think it's worth the money .

Kat Von D Shade Light palette

Let me just begin with saying if you do not have your hands on this item i would go and get it as soon as you can. I have different products i have tried including Anastasia Beverly hills, benefit bronzer, nars casino and laguna, mac blunt, ben nye banana powder, light powders to highlight etc. I was a bit skeptical about this palette because i didnt want to buy something i wouldn't use often. I saw a couple of reviews and decided to go check it out.
I havent found a way to use all the colors. But lyric and shadowplay are my favorite. Lyric is so brightening under the eye. It makes a big difference. And shadowplay gives me a contour that looks like i didnt apply anything. It blends so easily and looks so natural. I use levitation under my countour when i want a more defined look. This is all i have been using lately. The product is not powdery and it blends great!

Are these really worth your buck?

As most of you know im a mother of two kids. Its hard for me to go out and get a big enough time frame to go check cosmetics out. So what i do, which i assume a lot of other people do , is watch YouTube videos on certain products that catch my interest. This can help me determine if the product is worth going to see in person. Well i have decided to create a list of things i believe are not worth the hype. Sometimes i feel that because a lot of people on YouTube talk about it i should run and get it. But in reality is it worth your money? Lets begin

1. naked palette 3- when the first palette came out i was thrilled because i love neutrals. It was my to go to palette. Then number 2 was released and i was even more in love. When i heard about 3 i was hesitant . the colors are more pink and i personally am not a big fan of the color. I didnt run and buy it for a long time and one day i decided to just purchase it. Since then it has been only used 2 times. I think i use 1 and 2 more than i do 3.

2. Gerard Cosmetics- lately there seems to be a company boom going on. All these new companies releasing products. This brand keeped coming up when i would watch my favorite YouTube people. I placed an order and to me the packaging is not the best. The lipsticks dont have much pigmentation. I have to put this on a couple of times to get the best color payoff. I would just invest in something that will take less effort.

3. Lorac pro palette- if you have any of the naked palettes or naked basics i would skip these. I bought both and i have only used them about 3 times each. Some colors are not pigmented or fade when blending. I prefer to use my naked palette.

4. Morphe brushes single shadows- dont just assume because some shadows you see have great pigmentation that they will all turn out to be like this. I bought about 15 colors and i tried various times to work with them but the color would fade after i would try to blend. It seemed like there was nothing there. I love some of their other products but play with the colors in the store if you can.

5. Anastasia Beverly hills contour palette- now after years of buying this product i must say its not the best. I bought this when you can make your own palette or pick light, medium, dark. I got medium and the colors are not the best. Before i bought my kat von d shade light palette i seemed to be contouring with everything else but this.

6. Manga mascara- this one i had to include. I saw this mascara all over peoples videos. I saw it at ulta and decided to get it . lets begin with the wand. i guess its supposed to flex and help extend your lashes. The wand seems like its broken and you have no control over it. Then it clumps so bad when you add more than one layer. Im all for drugstore mascara but not this one.

7. Ambient palette from hourglass- i bought the same palette twice. First time i bought it and returned it because i felt it did nothing for me. Then i saw it again and decided to buy it again because maybe i didnt give it a fair shot. And still it does nothing on my makeup. I feel that you cant even see it.

I thought i had more to write about but nothing comes to mind. Might make a part 2 after looking in my makeup collection.
