Makeup on a Christmas budget part 2!

Hello hello!! Its noche buena a.k.a xmas eve =) and my last chance for this xmas on a budget post lol. Around the same time that I tried e.l.f's liquid liner, I also had bought wet n wild's cream eyeliner in black. It comes in a little pot much like MAC's Fluidline in blacktrack. It also holds about the same amount in the pot, 3.8 grams. It's just as good as blacktrack, if not better. The liner is super creamy which makes it easier to glide on but not toooooo creamy that it makes it crease. And it's a darker shade of black than MAC'S. The liner lasts allllll day and doesnt smudge!! and its about 3.99, maybe cheaper if you catch one of those sales they're always having. I've tried avons gel liner, coastal scents, stilas smudge pots, loreal hip cream liner and of course Mac's fluidline and for the price and quality of this cream liner its definitely top shelf!

I'm kinda glad I was on a makeup budget this xmas =) I've tried a bunch of other drugstore brands that i've been pleasantly surprised by. I think I'll keep searching and trying out some other things at the drugstore and let you guys know about my finds.

Heres a pic of the cream liner today. Btw I used MAC's 263 brush to apply the liner.

This is the packaging




Pros-
Long lasting, waterproof, dark color, glides on easily

Cons-
The brush it comes with is horrible!! It is super rigid and too thick for my little eyes. I suggest the MAC 263 brush if you have small eyes like me.

Anyways tudaloooo everyone!! Have a merry christmas and enjoy your gifts =)

Makeup on a Christmas budget

Happy monday everyone! One day down, only 4 more to go. I don't know about you guys but when the holiday season comes around I have to budget myself when it comes to my makeup purchases. Lately, I've been buying a lot of drug store makeup..since I cant splurge like I usually do. Well, Sunday as I was xmas shopping at Target I noticed E.L.F Liquid liner at $1. I thought to myself...hmm only one dollar, I should give it a shot and boy am I glad I did.

I've been wearing this liquid liner since 7 am and it still hasn't budged and is as bold as it was this morning. I am a believer at this point =) This is a liner I would definitely recommend if you're on a budget and even if you're not!


Here are some pics.

This is how the liquid liner looks



My eye at around 7am..I should've taken one with my eye open whoops!


My eye now at 9 pm



I definitely recommend this to everyone out there, its a win, win situation.

pros-

bold, doesn't run, glides on smoothly, long lasting

Cons-
I wish it came in a bigger size lol
