I Love EOS Lip Balms!

I really love EOS lip balms.  I love them so much that I decided to buy the Limited Edition winter collection.   It came with three lip balms for $9.99 at Walgreens!  There was only one left so I had to get it (:  Individual lip balms are priced at about $3.29, so buying the set saved a bit of money ^^
The scents are: Passion Fruit (purple), Strawberry Sorbet (pink), and Mint (green) (Please excuse the fact that I have been using the Mint one! Hehe)

I first heard of this lip balm by watching one of Michelle Phan's videos (I know, lame right?).  I was so interested in the shape of them!  They're like little spheres of pure joy!  I have really flaky and chapped lips (you would think my lips wouldn't be since it's really moist here).  Since it has gotten colder, my lips have been dying!  It's about 69 degrees (F) here and I'm really cold!  It's usually about high 80s to mid 90s here.  Back to the subject, these lip balms really keep my lips moisturized ^^

I don't particularly care for the Passion Fruit or the Strawberry Sorbet scents.  They're kind of sickly sweet in my opinion (thats why I haven't used them).  I really love the Mint scent though!  When I apply it, it kind of feels like a lip plumper.  You know that slightly stinging feeling?  For some reason, I really like that feeling!  (Lip Venom is going a bit too far though, that stuff hurts!)  It smells really nice.  Very minty.

I love these lip balms so much!  I really recommend them (:

Best Mascara Ever?

So I went to Target today to pick up some house hold items.  On my way out, I decided to stroll through the cosmetic section.  I picked out a mascara and I just tried it.  I have to say I think it is the best mascara I've ever tried.  Ever.  I'll do a review on it tomorrow! Can you say new HG mascara? <3

MAC Liquidlast Liner Dupe

My HG eyeliner is MAC's Liquidlast Liner in Point Black.  It has been the only eyeliner that I've tried that was truly waterproof, sweat proof, smudge proof, and long lasting....until now.
I was researching dupes for popular name brand products and I came across one that was too good to be true, a dupe for my prized $17.50 eyeliner for only $6.49.  Last night, I went to my nearest Walgreens and purchased it, Milani Infinite Liquid Eyeliner in Black.
I tried it this morning and I was more than happy with it.  It seems like it is the same formula as my Liquidlast!  In some aspects, it's even better than Liquidlast.  Milani Inifinite comes in a 5mL container whereas MAC Liquidlast comes in a 2.5mL container.  Thats double the product for about 1/3 of the price!  It isn't as gooey as Liquidlast either.

It looks as if the Milani tip is sharper but I just wiped off more product than I did from the MAC brush.  They are almost if not, identical.

(Sorry for the bad quality of the swatches.  My camera died and I had to use my photobooth!)

Neither of them budged at all! 
I have officially found my new HG eyeliner <3
