My Go-To Eyeliner!

I'm sorry I rarely keep up with this blog. Busy life. I thought school would really free up my time! But instead, after I converted to a career position in my intern job, I've been so busy! And the times I'm free, I'm either playing video games or aimlessly, mindlessly watching tv (I don't even know what I'm watching half the time! Like my brain turned off for awhile). Boy, time sure does fly so fast!!

So this post is to brag about how I found my go to eyeliner now!! I love it!
A little bit about me. I've been trying to find my go to eyeliner that is not that expensive, can create thin lines, is truly waterproof, applies very dark and is smudge proof. Why this is hard for me: my skin is freaking oily and my eyes water like crazy! My eyelids get crazy oily by the end of the day (so does my face). I love to laugh, I'm around funny people and so when I laugh, my eyes tear up a bit, to where the tears chill in the corners of my eyes. I also have always had a problem with eyeliner smudging and migrating into my eyelid crease, probably due to oils and the watery eyes do not help. And recently, for the past year...I've been into think upper eyeliner lines! I've already found my go-to pencil liner, but with these, you can't achieve thin lines...at least I can't. (My go to eyeliner pencil in Covergirl Exact Eyelights in Vibrant Pearl!!)

With all that, I've been searching for a liquid liner for thinner lines. I've tried gel liners and they were really nice, goes on smooth and didn't smudge too bad and was waterproof...but...it's not that dark and doesn't give you that super precise crisp line like a liquid one does.

Vidal Sassoon London Lilac!

It's been way too long since my last post about my hair, since my red hair after using Loreal HiLights/HiColor red or magenta hair dye, I switched to Vidal Sassoon London Lilac!! I was tired of the upkeep of the red, you have to retouch it every 2 weeks or so and that stuff bleeds everywhere! I knew this before I dyed my hair but after awhile...well, I'm a low maintenance kind of gal.
I'm in love with the London Lilac hair dye though! The dye does fade but it is not as drastic as the red and lasts a lot longer. I've also tried the Deep Violet color in the same line and it's a bit of a darker purple color, pretty much almost an unnoticeable difference but I just keep sticking with the London Lilac.
I used this right after my red hair started fading so at first, it was like a burgundy color. Then after that, it was a consistent dark purple color. I love it because it's a nice color that looks good in all lighting. Inside your house, it'll be dark so not too noticeable, then outside it's like a screaming violet color with red tones, and under fluorescent lighting, it's a nice stand-out purple. I also bleached my hair in between to see if it would be more noticeable and to be honest...wasn't that crazy different. I bleached it to a dark dirty blonde. You can see the difference between my new growth hair and the dyed part but no so much right after you dye it. It's brighter but you can't see the difference until the color starts to fade out.
This box also covered all of my hair, I definitely use all of it but I'm able to use it throughout my whole hair. But there's no extra saturation, I know some people like to top off hair dye at the end. My tips for making it through all of your hair is to do ends first (since roots dye faster), comb your hair at the end on each section (I know some people advise not to do it because of breakage), this helps spread the dye throughout your hair and makes sure its even, do sections for sure, if you try to do your hair in one huge section, you will miss the "inside" of your hair!! I also help keep it last longer by washing my hair in warm water rather than scalding hot lie I used to and then after I condition, I rinse in cold water. I am not able to wash my hair in cold water! This dye also isn't too drying to my hair! I've used some hair dyes that made my hair feel like I played with fire!

So here's some pics to show you how it went and a few more times after I used it and when it started fading (I think pics of how it fades is useful! And note, I still have some red undertones, not too sure if it's from the L'Oreal HiColor Red dye or it's just the undertones of my hair since I do have natural red undertones):

Proclaim Hair Polish

It's been too long since I've posted anything and even though I took pictures of stuff I want to post, I've never done it and ended up deleting them. BUT I finally thought, at least do one for this year.
So I have a lot of hair problems. My hair looks dry and frizzy all the time. After a shower, my hair poofs up like crazy and takes a whole day for it to "calm" down. This morning my hair was extremely poofy after my shower. Now, I dye my hair a lot, it's been about 3 weeks since my last dye or about 4...can't remember...anyways, the point I was making was that I do damage my ahir by dying it often. I do not use any heat on it though, no blow drying, straightening, etc. I still get split ends and still have frizzy hair...makes me feel like I might as well use heat if it's still going to act like how it was when I did use all of that.
After a shower, I rub hair oil into my hair. The problem with hair oil is that if you rub too much then your hair looks greasy...like as if I never even showered. Who wants to take a shower to come out looking like they didn't at the end? I didn't shower for no reason! So I rub minimal oil into my ends and on the lower half of my hair. The other problem I have is that lately, I've been showering in the morning and because I don't use heat, my hair comes out different and all different levels of crazy on different days by the time I go to work. (I take a train to work for an hour so I always rush out of the door to catch it then I can't do much on the train.)
So at work, I've decided to also keep some type of hair maintenance...stuff, whether it's oil, leave-in conditioner, etc. On my desk right now is: Proclaim Hair Polish. Sometimes I feel wary of keeping it at my desk because let's be honest...it looks like a bottle of lube. I have to keep telling people, I swear it's hair serum or hair lube.

Panasonic Close Curves Wet/Dry Shaver Review

I don't know how I even got to looking and buying this shaver but boy am I glad!!
I completely love this shaver. I got it today and read so many rave reviews that I tried it right away. I LOVE IT! 5 out of 5 roses!!

 / 

You can do this dry or wet. I tested dry because if I was ever in a rush to go somewhere, I can do this in my car if my boyfriend's driving or when I'm parked really quick. It was soooo smooth. It caught no hairs and was really quick. My legs were at their full potential though, my hair was the longest and thickest as ever (thanks so much Indian genes). So this took awhile but I would say that it took almost the same amount of time as shaving. I had to go slowly and run the shaver backwards to get rid of the hair that's caught in the razor. But hell, this is a lot less messy than shaving. I didn't have to go through the trouble of getting in the shower, sit on my tub, apply shaving cream and shave multiple times while getting cuts and fearing the worst around my knee area.
Say goodbye to nicks, cuts, bleeding, razor bumps, shaving cream and disposable razors. This baby was completely harmless to my skin. I ran this over my knees multiple times and my elbows without fearing I was going to get wounded.
This shaver cut as close as a shaver. I'm pretty sure the next time I use this, to get stubble, it will only take me a couple of minutes, maybe not even that, to get each arm and leg.
I hope it lasts a long time, most people say they keep their razor for more than 2 years then replace it. You can buy replacement parts for it but each part was about $8 (you'll probably have to buy the outside blade and the inside blade which are each $8), so pretty much close to the price to buy a new one.
This is rechargable, so that is a huge plus...but, it has a "space saver" charger and the connection is on the square plug thing that you put in the outlet...there's no cord at all. So this takes out the possibility of using it while it charges.
The shaver states that it takes 12 hours to charge, which is nothing if you just plug it in at night before you sleep or during the day before you go to work. I would only charge it if I know I would need it the next day though (so I would plug it in the night before).
This is so great for quick-growing body hair, especially if it's thick! And it's such a great price! At $20, it's completely worth it to buy!! I wouldn't even be mad if it died after a year because of this cheap price and effect!!
This is the best product I have ever bought and I will NEVER go back to a razor and cream ever again. This baby is here to stay..or at least the method will.

L'Oreal HiLights Second Review

So I said in my first review that I will post up a pic of when I wash out the heavy oil in my hair so you can see the true color, here it is:

This is my second attempt at dying my hair with the L'Oreal HiColor dyes. I mixed Magenta and Red Hot the first dye job and then the second dye job consisted of Magenta and Red. I like it, it brighter than the first and you can really see the Magenta...but in all honesty, I want to go brighter now!!
So...I did :D This time I only use Red. It's so much brighter, but I still have the darker ends problem. For all three dye jobs, I did from ends to roots and my ends still didn't turn out too bright. What's weird is that the top layer of my hair is a good red but the bottom layers and still dark. Maybe when I piled my hair, since I did a loose twist, the top layer was on the inside and it kept heat in longer? Not sure, but next time I dye my hair, I will only do the layers on the bottom, the parts that aren't light enough.

Also to note, I did use 30 developer in the 3rd hair dye job. My hair is way too stubborn, I thought I was going to regret it, thinking it was going to turn out really bright, but it came out perfect at the roots. The brightness I wanted. ..Now only if I can get that color in the rest of my hair. Maybe another 2 weeks, and I will dye the dark parts of my hair. And then post pics of those results...damn my stubborn hair.

L'Oreal HiColor HiLights/HiColor Review

I've been wanting to dye my hair red for a veeeeery long time. So long, that I never thought I would really do it unless I was drunk. BUT, I finally grew a stronger vagina and went for it. It's still not a super bright red like Rihanna's hair color or just bright red like most people have done with these hair colors but I like it and maybe it will fade to a brighter red. I think after a few times of dying my hair, it just won't dye brighter as much as other people's hair has. There's red halfway down my hair but it's still pretty dark, even after a second dye. Pretty let down by how dark it is. But it could be due to the a couple of factors. I oiled my hair like crazy after I rinsed out the dye (shown in the pic directly below) or it could be because I mixed colors rather than just dye it straight up one red color like others.
I wanted a dark red color that was bright. I got that color...I just want a bit more bright in there, especially halfway down my hair. It's still pretty dark. Almost like a dark, dark cherry red.

Because it wasn't as bright as I wanted but is still the best dye I have ever used, I would give this a 4 rose rating.

/

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND L'Oreal HiLights and this way of achieving red from dark hair colors. I DID NOT WANT TO BLEACH MY HAIR. This is a great and successful way of getting from brown to red without that much damage. The dye does contain some bleaching components but not so much to where your hair feels like hay (I regretted bleaching my hair years ago). It is also said that this way is more true to its color. You shouldn't get a brassy color, or fade to a brassy or orangey color like how you would if you pre-bleached your hair.

Anyways, here's my results from the second attempt (and sorry for the no make-up):

So from the pic you can see that halfway up my hair, it looks great. That's the bright I wanted throughout the whole hair but it didn't turn out that way. Again, I don't know if it's because I heavily oiled my hair or if it's really that dark. I again, do still recommend this method for achieving red hair from black or just dark hair though. I would keep using this hair dye for future red dying.

READER DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL AT ALL, WHATSOEVER.

All of the information in here, I learned from reading articles, blog posts and experiences and viewed a few videos. I will post the Youtube videos I liked and viewed at the bottom of this whole post.

So overall, this was a messy and somewhat expensive experience. It was expensive because some of my choices and the fact that I had to buy EVERYTHING. It cost me about $60 for everything in the list below. It can cost you less if you buy other things that I can list after my bought list. 

What I bought:

Salon Care 30 Developer (16 oz. bottle) $3.69

Salon Care 20 Developer (16 oz. bottle) $3.69

L'Oreal HiLights (Red Hot) $6.49

L'Oreal HiLights (Magenta) $6.49

L'Oreal HiLights (Magenta) $6.49

L'Oreal HiLights (Red) $6.49

Ion Color Sealer Conditioner (bottle/tube not small packet) $6.99

Colorful Professional Protein Filler (Red Red) $5.29

Clear Tinting Brush (Large) $.99

Clear Tinting Brush (Large) $.99

Sally's Clear X-Large Bowl $2.00

Sally's Clear X-Large Bowl $2.00

Sally's Black and White Hair Clips $2.39

Tax $2.97

TOTAL $59.27

I bought two different numbered developers, 20 for my roots and 30 for the rest of my hair since root dye faster and much better and brighter. In the end result, you see that my roots are super bright. Well, that's my mistake because I got lazy and just put 30 on it rather than 20 like in my first attempt. It probably would've come out all even if I did 20 but it's soooo much work. I also bought reusable gloves because I dye my hair a lot and I know I would like this dye enough to keep using it after reading a viewing videos of reviews of the L'Oreal HiLights dyes. I bought two bowls and brushes, one for my roots and the other for the rest of my hair. I also bought the big tube bottle of Ion conditioner rather than just the separate individual packets because I know I will want to use the conditioner later on, maybe once or twice a week to keep the color in longer. I got large brushes because I have long, frizzy...and a lot of hair so I thought a bigger brush would fasten my dying process. I also needed clips because I had none, I only have fat scrunchies to tie my hair up and I didn't want to have to use those to hold my hair up with red dye everywhere. 

NOTE: Do not use a metal bowl and do not use clips that have a lot of metal. The clips I bought had metal on the top part of the clip but was not going to touch my hair. I bought the protein filler because it seemed like a good idea. I wanted thorough color, even when it starts to fade, I don't want blotches later on and you can also use it for touch-ups. And I bought four hair dye boxes for two applications. Two for each application to mix because I didn't want super bright Ariel red hair...at least not for my first try. I needed to see how red would even look on me, so I wanted to go bold just not Courage the Cowardly Dog Muriel's-In-Trouble Bold/Brave. 

If you already have hair dying supplies, such as the bowls and brushes, then your cost would just be the developers and dyes. The developers, will last you both applications! And the 20 will be plentiful for any touch-ups in the future and future dye job. I bought the big bottle because I didn't think the small one would completely do the job. I wish they had an inbetween bottle but there's only small, big, and gallon size (I think it's a gallon). You also don't need to mix colors like I did. Red, Red Hot and Magenta are beautiful by themselves. BUT you will still need two tubes of dye for TWO applications. If you have dark hair that has been dyed previously, you will definitely need two applications. If you have virgin black hair, you probably only need to do one application with 30 developer. You can also just use one developer for all of your hair rather than do roots and rest of your hair separately.

If you don't already have the supplies, here's how you can lessen your cost:

Disposable Non-resuable gloves $1

Sally's Clear X-Large Bowl $2.39 (It was $2 each in my transaction because it was 2 for $5. Other bowls were a bit more expensive by a few cents)

Clear Tinting Brush (Medium) $.89

Ion Color Sealer Conditioner (Packet) $2.39

L'Oreal HiLights (Color of Choice, Red, Hot Red, or Magenta) $6.49

L'Oreal HiLights (Color of Choice, Red, Hot Red, or Magenta) $6.49

Salon Care 30 Developer (16 oz.) $3.69

TOTAL $23.34 (not including tax)

Prices will range from store to store but should be all around the same price. This is for BUDGET-CONSCIOUS people. If you have some more money to spare, I would suggest to buy the color filler, it's recommended by a lot of hair dyers. I also would buy one more Ion Conditioner packet if you have long hair. Two packets could probably last 3 applications, using up most of one and still have enough in that packet and the second packet for another. And if you dye your hair a lot, I would suggest reusable gloves. But you can always buy the gloves later when you have more money. Same with the Ion conditioner, you can always buy more packets or a bottle later on when you get more money. 

As a FOREWARNING: Red hair is a lot of money and suffering! So much care and moolah to spill out of our life!

~You will have to care for your hair in cold water. I'm not looking forward to it, but I really want to try red. So you need to shampoo and rinse in cold water! After you're done with shampooing and conditioning, you can always turn your shower back to warm or hot, not saying you need to completely shower in cold water. 

~Red will stain EVERYTHING. Make sure to rinse out your tub, walls and shower curtains after a shower. And your red hair will always bleed in the shower and when it's wet. So shampooing often,wet hair and rain will be your enemy. I got a bottle of dry shampoo to use so I only have to shampoo my hair every other day or two days. And for certain times, you will want to blow dry your hair. I hate blow-drying my hair but right after I rinsed my dyes after each of the two applications, I blew dry it since the dye is still "fresh". 

~I've heard red can rub off onto your light shirts on the back of your neck. DON'T WEAR LIGHT-COLORED SHIRTS WHEN YOUR HAIR IS WET. If you like to dry your hair naturally, either wear a shirt you don't care about or wear black. 

~Towels would have to be black, purple or red, or something you don't care about. 

~I heard you have to touch-up your red hair more often than other dyes. So it fades faster than other dyes. I dyed my hair red burgundy before and it bled for like a month or two. BUT the color stayed in for about 2-3 months. Then it starting showing the faded color by turning brown. When I dyed my hair black or light brown, it bled for a few days and stayed in my hair for almost ever. This can be done with dyes like Manic Panic and such. But I will be reviewing more videos and posts for touch-ups and post what I found and have done.

Now onto before and after pics:

Before the Red Dye Job. It looks kind of reddish, but it's a brown with a little tiny, teensy bit of red.

After the first application:

It came out pretty well. For this first application, I mixed Magenta with Red Hot. Despite the Red Hot name, Red Hot is actually a darker red than just Red. So I did this mix because I was too scared that it would turn out too bright. I would actually LOVED this color but I wanted brighter!! Remember to mix 1 part dye and 2 parts developer. So there was a lot more developer than what you see in videos on Youtube since I used two tubes rather than one. There was enough to cover all of my hair and to top it off after I done with my whole head. What I did different from Youtube videos (I will post a link at the end of this blog to which ones I viewed) was that each section of hair, I combed, brushed on dye (20 on the roots and 30 for the rest) then combed it again and brushed it with dye again. It was a long process but I got overall same color results. After I was done with all of my hair, I literally dunked some fingers in the rest of my dye and just slapped it on the hair below my roots then just piled my hair ontop of my head and covered my head with a plastic shower cap. I also blew dry my ends and halfway up for a couple of min. I waited 30 min or so then went to go rinse it out. I did not shampoo it like how it said, just rinsed in cold water and conditioned. I wanted the color to stay on for a day longer before shampooing. After showering, I HEAVILY oiled my hair with Garnier Fructisse Triple Hair Oil Spray (which I regretted buying because it made my hair too greasy but now it's useful) then blew dry it.

In flourescent light. It's a dark magenta with red higlights.

In natural lighting

The very next day, I did the same thing but I did not use 20 on my roots (damn my laziness, I wish I did). I also did a mix of Magenta and Red (not Red Hot). I did the Red instead of Red Hot because I wanted it Magenta with brighter red highlights (or color in the sun). I also didn't blow dry it while I was waiting for the dye to process...I wish I did. I waited 30 min or so, rinsed in cold water (no shampooing still), conditioned then out of the shower, I heavily oiled it and blew dry my hair. I think the red is lighter in my hair than in the pictures because the pictures show my hair heavily oiled (which makes my hair look wet). 

Second attempt:

I will take more pictures and do another post once I shampoo it tomorrow and it's dry to see the real results. The oiling made it darker and I'm sure that not shampooing, left a lot of red in my hair. The color reminds me of a vintage-style red...almost like the Moira from American Horror Story?

After the dyes, my hair does feel a bit frizzier, but I'm not sure that's due to my blow drying or the dye job. The Ion conditioner is amazing though. It makes your hair feel super soft and amazing. It also helped detangle my hair after the rinse. Even with the comb jobs, once you start rinsing, it turns back into chaos so thank goodness for the conditioner. I recommend heavily hair oiling to help repair your hair from the dying stress. My hair doesn't feel so damaged, not like when I used box dyes so that's a plus! And from my transaction from Sally's you should be able to tell that this was my first time ever dying my hair this way. I have ALWAYS used box dyes but, man, you cannot (or at least I can't) get results like this with a box dye. Now I don't feel so afraid to dye my hair this way. It's not different from the box dye, just that you have to measure stuff out yourself (which I actually just eye-balled). 

Youtube videos I watched:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xctzIvdxcRM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtS3WMJJvYs

So! I guess that's it? I will make a new post for my results after I shampoo and dry my hair! I hope it's brighter but if not, I can always re-dye it to a brighter color later, once my roots start getting too long (like in my before pics) or once it starts fading.

My Super-Chapped Lips?!

Ever since I've moved to Utah, I've had super chapped lips. Maybe the air is drier here than in Vegas, sometimes Vegas can get humid and maybe it has the right humidity for me, don't know but ever since I moved here, I've had super chapped lips problems and way-too-frizzy hair problems! I've learned with my super chapped lips that I cannot use just any chapstick.
I tried the classic Chapstick, in mint, cherry and regular...nope, doesn't work. It'll soften it right away and a few minutes later, it will get chapped again...and more than before.
I tried Blistex, in regular and raspberry lemonade. They didn't make my lips soft at all, they just coated my chapped lips and made it...made my lip skin...harder? I guess I can describe it as that...but it gets harder, to where I pretty much have to peel it off (gross, I know, sorry).
I tried a couple of others that I don't remember what they're called.

What does work for me:
Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm
https://www.burtsbees.com/other/best-sellers/tinted-lip-balm.html?cm_vc=PRODZ1

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer
https://www.burtsbees.com/other/gifts-her/lip-shimmer.html?cm_vc=PDPZ2

Maybelline Baby Lips
http://www.maybelline.com/Products/Lip-Makeup/Lip-Balm/Baby-Lips.aspx#shadedetails

Carmex
http://mycarmex.com/lip-care/original-tube

Softlips
http://www.softlips.com/product/classic/


The Burt's Bees chapstick is the best product for me. It outlasts the others that I've listed and I looove the color! Now, I..will be honest. I only bought Burt's Bees because they were cheap and it had color. Because I don't like wearing a lot of makeup (I only wear eyeliner) and I hate lipstick, I thought tinted chapstick would be the only way to go for me to add some color to my dull look. My local Ross had Burt's Bees chapstick bundle packages for only $7!! It had beautiful colors in the package. It had the Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Red Dahlia and Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Fig. Now, this is a huge leap for me. I'm spending money on tinted chapstick that I don't know if it will soften my lips or look good on my lips or with my skin tone. I was hoping that since it was a chapstick, that it wasn't going to be really pigmented and thick. To my surprise, it's perfect! The Tinted Lip Balm looks a bit diluted with more chapstick but actually came out a lot more red than I thought, but it was diluted enough to give my lips a nice color, with some gloss, without over doing it. The Lip Shimmer looked so dark, pigmented and thick in the tube but once you apply it, it's actually less pigmented than the Tinted Lip Balm! It still has great color and gloss and is not overly pigmented like lipstick. (One day, I will post pics of the results...or maybe not if I don't remember. If not, I'm sorry). And just to add...even though I've never tried these before, they were such a great deal and I've heard so many great things about this brand, that I bought three of these packages! And a job and steal well done! :)
They lasted me quite awhile, it's been..quite a few months, almost close to a year ago...I know that sounds weird...and that I shouldn't keep these that long? But it's because I don't use one tube at a time. I keep one next to my bed, one in the living room, one in my car, one in both of my backpacks (one is for work and the other is for school) and one at work.

The second brand that I love is Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me. I've never used this brand before so the Cherry Me was the first Baby Lips I've used, along with the color. Again, I wanted color that's subtle and not overpowering like lipstick. This is a pretty amazing chapstick, has great color (more bright and pigmented than the Burt's Bees...so it's a bit more adventurous) but it's diluted enough to look gorgeous. It's glossy and makes my lips very soft. It will soften my chappest lips, although, sometimes my lips are so chapped that my skin is pretty much dead and needs to get peeled (again, sorry for being so gross lol but it's reality for me).
Here's a pic of me with Maybelline Baby Lips Cherry Me, although it's a bit more reddish.

The other choices are listed and those work well but not as great as the first three. I really love how these tinted lip balms have worked for me because I have weird lips. Dark ontop and light on bottom (pretty common) but I have this weird dark lipline look to my lips too, as you can see from the photo.

New "Ink It!" Covergirl Eyeliner Review

Covergirl's come out with a new product:

Ink It! By Perfect Point Plus

Get inked — without the commitment! Ink It! colors glide on smoothly and easily without skipping, dragging, or pulling. Our bright, bold shades last all day long.

/

Review: I was buying new eyeliner and decided that my new favorite was Covergirl's Eyelights in Pearl Black (I think that's what the color was called). It's my favorite because it was the longest lasting eyeliner I've ever used that doesn't smudge as much as others I've used and doesn't migrate into my crease as soon as others. I went into the Covergirl section and saw this display. It was also one of the cheapest eyeliners they had ($5.94). It states that it is "Crease proof", "Smudge proof", "Long lasting", and "Waterproof". It also states that it allows expert precision and the darkest, boldest colors. This sounds perfect right? Well, I'll just state now that this was the biggest disappointment that I've experienced when it comes to eyeliners!

It deserves an only one rose rating because of how big the disappointment was!!

When I first tried it, I loved it. As I applied the eyeliner, it really did have a really dark, bold black color. It was very solid and smooth and glided like a breeze. It did give me great precision and because it's so bold, it looks like I've used a liquid liner without the hassle of a liquid liner. So I was really impressed and had high hopes that the other statements were true. I have oily eyelids. A horrible problem of mines, because I can't really wear eyeshadow, even with primer, it still will gather at the crease (just not as bad with the primer). So I was hoping, since this eyeliner was the only eyeliner with the "Crease proof" claim, that it really was "Crease proof".

The Eyelights eyeliner will not smudge until toawrds the end of my work day, so it will be smudge proof from 6am to about...2 or 3 pm. It also depends on how much laughing I do or smiling. It also goes into my crease but only at the end of the day and it isn't that much. I can also sleep with this eyeliner, with other eyeliners, when I sleep, it will smudge and look all crazy. This is why I love Covergirl's Eyelights eyeliner.

This Ink It! eyeliner was a huge dissapointment. It smudged after 3 hours, giving me the horrible racoon under eyes. It went into my crease. It didn't smudge on my lid where others would go into my crease and spread around on my lid, this one just creates a really defined dark line in my crease.

I haven't tested the waterproof part as I do not go swimming but since it smudges so much and even though sometimes I cry and laugh, I can't tell whether it smudged from not being waterproof or if it was already smudged.

Don't even try this eyeliner. Yes, it's dark and provides great precision, but you will not want to deal with the constant smudging underneath your eye and constant crease migrating. I will now just go back to buying the Eyelights eyeliner.
