Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner Review!

Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner!

I've heard GREAT things about this new eye liner. I've always been skeptical with new things, and especially eyeliners CLAIMING that they creamy, have a 24 hour wear & they are as bold as they look. This one lived up to EVERY single one. If your looking for a new eyeliner that stays ALL day this one is for you. I didn't have an smudging or running with this, and it is so bold i love it! This isn't waterproof, so I don't know what it would do in the rain or if you cried, but I've wore i for about a week now, and I LOVE it. I got mine in Coal Commander and It's very sparkly but great for me! I got mine at Walmart for around $5.00 which is a great price, I still love my Urban Decay 24/7 eye liner but this one is definitely a cheaper alternative! (:

Nails of the week 12/21/2011

Used 2 coats of Wet N Wild Fast Dry in "Sagreena the Teenage Witch" On all nails except accent nail (ring finger).

Then on my ring finger I used 2 coats of L.A. Colors Color Craze "Silver" <-- very creative color name ;)

Over my accent nail I put 2 coats of this. Sinful Colors "Call You Later"

I bought 2 new nail polishes & a new eyeliner. I'm putting the nail polishes in the blog post "nail polish haul", and I'm doing a review on the eyeliner! XoXo -Carrie 

imPRESS Press-on Manicure

I received this nail set (240, tweetheart) in my recent Influenster's Holiday VoxBox. I'm the kind of girl that LOVES painting my nails, and its really relaxing for me. So to try press on nails it was very different. I followed the directions like it says I found the nail that matched my own nails I then clean any residue off nails with nail the included prep pad. I pulled the tab off the nails & attached them and applied pressure. I really liked the look of them, they looked like ACTUAL acrylic nails & they felt like them too!! I did have to trim them because they were a little too long for my liking & I added a silver glitter to my ring finger to make it more unique & more like what my nails usually look like. They have a lot (36 different styles) of cute prints & bright colors & animal prints and they are SUPER easy to apply. The thing that's really convenient is you don't have to wait for them to dry and I did my nails within 5 minutes. They are so shiny and they look like you just got a freshly done manicure. On day 5 they were still hanging on but I was getting sick of the color so I had to take them off, but I had NO problem with them at all they are supposed to last up to 7 days!! They were SO easy to remove. You pull from the corner and they pull right off, no pain & no residue left on you nails! I highly suggest them, and they would be PERFECT for an event, a wedding, or just to feel pretty! You can get them at your local stores such as CVS, Rite-aid, Walgreen's, Walmart, Kmart, Duane Reade, K Mart & many more! They retail anywhere from $5.99 for colors and  $7.99 for patterns.For a full list of online and in store retailers visit http://impressmanicure.com/ you can get an exclusive coupon & try on any of the patterns and colors!!

X Out

I recently received this X Out product in my Influenster Holiday VoxBox. I didn't think much of it at first, I just thought I was another face wash. I then started to read more on it and this is amazing. It's a wash, a mask & and spot treatment! I've never known of a product that could be all three! Every night before bed I use this & I love it. It makes my skin feel SO clean, and refreshed and it created a slight tingling feeling that is quite nice. I used to get dead/dry skin patches in the winter and now it exfoliates it all off! I love it. X Out is formulated to kill the bacteria that causes acne & is supposed to banish existing pimples. It's supposed to lift the dirt and grime from your pores so they don't get clogged, and it leaves behind a medicine to keep the pores clean. It's sold as a 30 day system, and includes a shine control product to help fight oil and shine all day. The 30 day system sells for $19.95.

Montagne Jeunesse

I relieved my Montagne Jeunesse mask in my December Influenster Holiday Voxbox! I got the juiced cucumber peel off mask, but they have SO many different kinds of masks! They have a passion peel off, a dead sea mud mask (I wanna try that one so bad!) a fruit smoothie mask, strawberry souffle, and chocolate mud and many many more!! I like to use these when my skin needs a pick me up or if I just want to pamper myself. They are great for sleep overs, or for just a night to yourself. They make you feel so refreshed & I love them so much. I probably use these 2-3 times a month. They are PACKED with natural ingredients and amazing scents. They good for all different skin types and for everyone male and female! Montagne Jeunesse products are paraben free, and vegetarian approved & they are not tested on animals!! The thing I love so much is they are very inexpensive & you can find them practically everywhere!! Walmart, CVS, Ulta Beauty, Walgreen's, Kroger, Claires.
