There are plenty of reasons to not like lipglosses and I could write a testament just to tell them all. But not going too further I'm just going to say what I think in general..

Well, lipglosses are supposed to make your lips look shinier or if not I don't know why's the wet thing going on. First of all I'm not a huge fan of sparkles, and truth be said I'm more of a matte lips girl! 

My first lipgloss was the middle one, a present from my mom one of the past Christmas, which I'm very thankful for and being as honest as possible I quite like it! It's not sticky, it stays well, the color pay-off is good but... and here comes the but.. I don't reach for it many times.. nor this nor any other I have. I just never feel like using something shiny and attention seeker on my lips.

To the first of them all, I've never ever used the gloss part! I love the stain itself, it's gorgeous, the lasting power is amazing and everything but the gloss is not my thing. You already go it right?! 

Avon... one of my favorite lip brands and once again I was enchanted by the color and decided to give it a try. And once again I used it 2 or 3 times! I suck I know.. But the good part is that I only have 3 so I haven't spent loads of money on a thing I won't use! *claps* 

Here's the swatches!

l-r: Avon ; Douglas ; ELF

As you can see the color pay-off is really good and they look lovely on lips, it's just my paranoia! If you like glosses you shall try them since they're good products and affordable too!

I guess I'll continue to spend money on lipsticks and leave the shinny bottles for their lovers!

Last months i've used up some skincare, bath and makeup products!

I'm particularly excited for finishing makeup since it's something that not always occurs. 

Let's see what i repurchase or not!! 

Face:

Skincare is something important and you shall know that from the first moment you step into the makeup world! 

It's usual to finish skincare products every once in a while.. 

The Biphasic EyeMakeup Remover from Sephora i have for ages, it's the travel size and you're probably questioning why i took so long to use it up..

Maybe because i'm not a huge fan of biphasic removers since they're super oily and get easily into my eyes.. This particular one does the job but i won't repurchase!

Moisturizers are something i use up in 2 months! Which for some of you may seem fast and for others a bit slowy.

The fact is i use the moisturizer i own everyday and i only have one at time, i mean, i don't have 2 or 3 different ones when i purchase i always purchase one..

This Uriage A.I. moisturizer has been my loyal friend since my 14s but when i used this up i opted to buy a different one this time! Repurchase?! - maybe one day! It's a really good product!   

Makeup:

Some makeup we finish it and other we can't stand it!

Here's the perfect example! At first my holy grail eyeliner by Essence that i used up for the trillion time! And at the other side this awful lipstick by Basic!

I hate that lipstick so much! The smell, the texture, the feeling on the lips! It's just horrible.. Smells and feels like plastic and it can't fill my lips correctly! No matter how many times i apply it, it will never be opaque! Aggrrr... at least was like 2 or 3€ so not that expensive.. can't complain much but for the same price i have Essence lipsticks that are AMAZING! 

Essence Long Lasting Eyeliner - Black Fever - Repurchase!!!

Basic Lipstick - Goes to trash and never come back!

I'm also trowing away makeup that has expired such as mascaras.. None of these are finished, actually they have a good ammount of product but the thing is, they have expired and they 'hurt' my eyes in a way.. There's nothing that will make me keep these if they're harmful right?! 

Repurchase any of these?! - I don't tend to repurchase mascaras since there are so many out there that i want to try but if you wanna know my opinion about the quality, yes they're all good.. and Catrice mascaras are definitely a must!

Body:

Shower is also a place where products can't seem to last a lot of time which i find great so i can try another products as well...

Garnier Ultra Suave 5 Plantas  

Oriflame Shower Cream - Wonderful

Oriflame Shower Cream - Preppy Chic

Oriflame Body Cream - Wonderful

Conditioner is something that you shall use but i honestly don't seem to use it that much.. I just finished this one and i don't have a lot to say about it.. yes it gives my hair softness but it's not that visible trhough the day after i shower.. Repurchase?! - No

Shower creams are a kind of gel formula but more creamy, i hope it makes sense.

I've used up Wonderful and Preppy Chic one, both from Oriflame and both amazing! The first smell is more warm than the second that seems to be fresher but both were a favorite while using them. I won't repurchase because i want to try other ones!

Wonderful was a collection and i got the body cream too! So moisturizing that i can't even!!! I love Oriflame body products they're amazing in texture, moisture, smell... You have to try them if you have the opportunity.. Just to mention that Oriflame is like Avon, a catologue brand.

So my Trash is going to be full but i will have some extra space to try new products that i'm looking foward!

You could tell it's just a lipstick on nude lips but you're wrong..

to create this look i defined and filled my lips with a lip pencil and then applied the lipstick.. 

To make a gradient effect i used my douglas eyepencil in black, it's a smooth eyeliner which makes easy to blend with the lipstick.

 Catrice Longlasting Lip Pencil 060 Very Berry

Rimmel London Lipstick in 120 Cutting Edge
Douglas Black Eyeliner
 
I really enjoy to use this lips on special occasions, it gives another touch to the usual sleek lip..

Douglas xsmall Gentle Eye Makeup Remover ~2,99€

Sephora Waterproof eye makeup remover ~4€

Both of these are travel size because i like to try different products before investing on them.. if you have the option travel size or sample products go for them first! It can save you money if you don't like them..

I find both really similar.. Sephora is almost gone and i have it for the longest time so it lasts a good time.. it removes waterproof makeup gently , there's no need to rub your eyes off with this product.. it's a bit greasy but it's normal for biphasics..  

Douglas one is similar so nothing more to add actually..

Cleansing Milks are not my favorite to be honest.. it's not because they're bad.. it's just personal preference.

Sephora Soothing Cleansing Milk ~4€

I find this milk really smooth and great but personally i prefer the other's i'm mentioning, i don't feel like it cleanses all the makeup off..

And i find it's not meant for my oily skin.. 

But if you like to use cleansing milks this one is a good option. 

Face washes are a must... if you don't want to spend a lot of money on dozens of products i suggest you a face wash and it does the job of removing everything..

Bioderma Sébium Gel moussant - Purifying cleaning foaming gel ~ 16€ 200ml 

This one is my favorite face wash at the moment, from Bioderma Sebium range adapted to oily skin types... It does wonders, and i mean noticible wonders to my skin. Since i use this product i find my skin much healthier and shinny not in the greasy way but the natural way..

It removes the makeup really well and it's in a gel form which i find really good to wash everything out! Makes my face feel mattyfied and clean.. i use it every morning and evening.. it lasts a really good time so it's an investiment that will conpensate over time.

Definitely my most used product at the moment..

Some of us prefer to use the new trend micellar waters...

Bioderma Sébium H2O  Purifying cleansing micelle solution ~15€ 250ml

 Here's my opinion about them.. Makeup wipes are good if they don't irritate your skin, but good to use on the days you're being lazy or running late... i don't advise you to use them on daily basis, i used to remove my makeup with these all the time but since i started using face washes i felt such difference..

Although this are made for sensitive skin using them like nobodys business can harm your skin, use them with moderation and it will be a great product to have ;)

As you can tell there's a lot of different ways to remove makeup and it's up to you to chose the best for your own needs! I hope this post helped you figuring out the many ways you can cleane your masterpieces!

Don't forget to take your makeup off before going to sleep! It's the most important step to make your skin healthier!

1. Essence Longlasting eye pencil 01 Black Fever

2. I Heart Rock gloss eye pencil

3. Eyeliner kajalstift Basic in 01

4. Essence kajal pencil in 01 Black

5. Douglas (i got it with a set)

6. Oriflame Kajal Eye Liner in Carbon Black

7. Avon Colortrend liquid eyeliner in Zebra black

8. Essence liquid ink eyeliner waterproof

1. Essence Longlasting eye pencil 01 Black Fever - 1,99€

Have you ever had a holy grail black pencil?! This is mine.. i went through so many of these, i can't even tell you the number.

I love it. It's smooth, true black, lasts on my waterline all day, doesn't smudge, and it's cheap! As you can see it's a retractable pencil so it's easy to apply on the go..  

A tube of this lasts me 2/3 months using it everyday.. for the price i think its bargain!!   

The picture shows what i have now.. it's almost finished.

If you have the opportunity you should try it!

2. I Heart Rock gloss eye pencil - ~2€

Another pencil from Essence, this one belongs to I Heart collection.

Its the perfect pencil to use for a smoky look but its also good on the waterline. It applys like butter and it feels soft and gentle. The colour pay off is insane, it's the most black of my pencils but still prefers the one above for the longevity.

 3. Eyeliner kajalstift Basic in 01 - ~2€

This pencil is new to my collection, i feel it quite hard to apply so i don't use it that much 

It's not bad but i don't recomend it.. Essence ones are much better and for the same price.

4. Essence kajal pencil in 01 Black - 1,50€

Essence seems to be my go to brand but it's only because their products are cheap and reasonable good.

Despite the compliments i did to their eyeliners this one is my exception.. i don't like it for the longevity but i guess it's not meant to use on the waterline since its a kajal.. it's soft but not smooth if you know what i mean, it smudges a lot but i don't feel like it stays on for a long time..  

5. Douglas (i got it with a set)

this eye pencil is another that seems like butter when applyed, its good for both waterline and lashline and it smudges easily.

Its durability it's not perfect but it stays on pretty well.. I like it much better rather than the 2 above it .

 6. Oriflame Kajal Eye Liner in Carbon Black - ~6€

This kajal was a gift from my cousin, i like to use it to line my lashes or make a winged smudge line.. It's perfect for smoky looks and the colour pay off is alike the Douglas one.. the durability is ok.

7. Avon Colortrend liquid eyeliner in Zebra black - ~5€

This eyeliner is particular in my collection for the tip, it's small and sturdy, i really like to use it when i want a more thin and sleek eyeliner.
It has some downs such as the pigmentation , i need to use it twice so i can get a true black, the texture is quite thick and it doesn't last all day.. it starts to crack at the end of the day and smudges..
So sad for the bad formula.


8. Essence liquid ink eyeliner waterproof

Another Essence product that i love.. or shall i say used to love..
and that's because i think the formula changed... shame on Essence!
This is probably my 3rd or 4th bottle of this eyeliner, i don't even know.. this eyeliner is or used to be the perfect for me.. its's pure black, thin but doesn't takes long to dry which is perfect.. And the thing i love the most about this: it stays on all day and doesn't smudge..
I say it may have new formula because this no longer stays all day it starts to crack such as the Avon one.. and it lets me down 'cause i trusted this product for years.. now i have the need to find the perfect liquid liner again..

Maybe it's bad luck with this particular bottle.. i don't know.


So here's the end of the black eyeliners.. These are my most worn eyeliners and the ones i have in my collection.

Do you have any of recomendations?! Tell me bellow which eyeliner is your favorite!
