Random Post!

Let me start off by saying: I currently have no 'net. Which is why I have disappeared. I also have recently gained a promotion to Head of Cosmetics in my sweet retail job so have been working more. I have also been horrible and not even bothering to take photos of anything I do with my nails or makeup although for the most part it's been rather boring. But, I have photos already edited for a review of the Revolution curler from Urban Decay so I should hopefully have that up tomorrow night. For now, here is a random picture post. Hope you enjoy <3
Let's start with some sweet bathroom pics from work...

My newest obsession, MAC Let's Skate! Paint pot
My new lazy makeup, blended eyeliner. I used the Prestige white liquid liner and the rest are MUFE (hot pink, red and purple...I hate how their names are coded to numbers because I just can't remember them) which are also my other new obsession. Taken after 9 hours of wear!
Anyone watch Rupaul's Drag Race? I LOVE it. Stacy Layne Matthews and Carmen Carrera (my fave <3) recently came here to perform so here I am with them. I look a little ragged, I came off a 9 hour shift and this was at like 2am so I was exhausted.
My newest tattoo and my Bioshock one filled in, not sure if I ever posted that! The Octopus is fresh, he was done yesterday. You can't quite tell but he's holding a little compact and everything. When it's filled in it will be sea green and pink mostly. Both done by the awesome Rhiannon from Shocker Tattoo in Albany.

Wet N Wild H20 Proof liquid liner review
As I have less than a week left before I leave for Puerto Rico I decided I may want to look for a backup waterproof liner as I intend to spend as much time as possible at the beach. The one I use is from L'oreal and while I'm happy with it, I couldn't find it at Rite Aid! I have heard a lot of good things about Wet N Wild's H20 Proof liners but have never tried them myself. Since I like their other liquid liners I figured I would give it a try.The first thing I noticed was that the applicator, which I would assume would be the same as their other liners, is not a typical felt tip or tiny brush but seems to be made of plastic. When I first tried it out it worked fine, but when I tried to create a wing I ran into some issues. Because the applicator is plastic the liner doesn't "sink into" it at all which means that it leaves gobs or liner in spots even after I try wiping off excess product. It did not make for easy application, let's just say my wing was not meant to be as big as it came out. I also had trouble making a fine point as the applicator is a little bit bulkier than normal.
To add to that, the color which I tried (Black Brown) went on kinda streaky. Once again I think this isn't helped by the plastic applicator which doesn't evenly distribute the product.
But the worst part in my opinion was that (even after waiting more than a minute) when I moved my eyelid the product did this:
And it was still entirely tacky to the touch. The one thing I cannot stand is slow drying eyeliner. As one of the final steps it can totally ruin all the work you have put into your eye makeup!
As for removal, I tried with just a makeup wipe and it was a pain in the butt so I would recommend an eye makeup remover that works well for waterproof makeup. It didn't "ball up" as some waterproof products do. I do find that the products that do "ball up" tend to wear worse (Maybelline waterproof eyeliner- I'm looking at you). I won't be testing the wear on this because I was really unhappy with the application so I probably won't be using this again. If I do then I will update later but I don't see it happening.

The top is right after it is dried, bottom is after a hard hand scrubbing and wiping dry.

Wet N Wild H20 Proof is available at most major drug stores for around $3 and is available in 4 shades (black brown, ultra black, smoky and espresso.
Would I recommend it? No

Bold and Simple look for Spring/Summer
As the snow falls outside (and apparently the thunder and lightening here in NY) I am wishing more and more for warm weather. Could it just please stop snowing? Did I mention that the heat stopped working in my van? It's like driving around in a freezer.
Anyways, once the spring and summer comes around, more than ever I like to break out the bright colors. And what better way to wear them but paired with a bright and simple eye liner? After all, who wants to spend a beautiful day putting on makeup!
These are fun, colorful looks that will take you almost no time at all and with a handful of colors you can create a ton of combinations. Get creative! With the right match it can make both colors pop. And when the weather gets hot and your afraid of a makeup melt down, waterproof eyeliner, mascara and lipstick and you're good to go :)
Here are two variations with a punch of bright liner and lipstick. Simple but bold.
NYC liquid eyeliner in Cobalt Blue (I believe this is LE) paired with MAC M'orange lipstick:
Wet n Wild's 863 paired with Makeup Forever's 36 lipstick:
If you find these are too bright for your taste, try it with softer colors (or try blotting and see what you come up with, it can make a super crazy color much more wearable). Here is Wet n Wild 862 paired with MAC Snob:

Wet N Wild Fantasy Makers Glitter Eyeliners!
Woot, I love glitter! I was so excited when I saw these babies in Rite Aid. From left to right we have Magical- turquoise glitter, Mystical- amethyst shimmer, Cryptic- silver glitter and Secrecy- emerald glitter. I'm usually pretty happy with their liners so I scooped these babies up.
They are your typical tiny brushed liners, nothing special. The thing that bugs me the most is I had to slice into the label to open these. Either make it a little peeley label or one that breaks, especially if the only place that says the name is the label (I don't count the number on the bottom).

The picture below shows 2 coats on the left column, 1 coat on the right.
And here they are over black- instant glam!
And while I was there I spotted this too, who doesn't love holo glitter!

Hard Candy Walk The Line liquid eyeliner review
I recently picked up Hard Candy Walk the Line liquid eyeliner in both Night Sky and Fuschia.
The packaging on these is really cute. I must say that Hard Candy does a really good job on presentation. The applicator in these is a tiny brush, I would prefer if it were a little shorter for more control but it is decent. No splayed bristles or anything like that.
Fuschia is a medium shimmery pink, no big surprise there.
Night Sky is a grey sheer base with holo glitter.
Here are some photos of the packaging:
Here are some swatches of the colors:

On the left are them by themselves, fuchsia followed by night sky. Then on the right they are layered over black, same order.

On the left are them by themselves, fuchsia followed by night sky. Then on the right they are layered over black, same order.These are both very pretty colors, and the application is good on fuchsia through and through. However, when it comes to Night Sky it will NOT dry no matter how long I wait. Very disappointing. I have yet to wear because it seriously will not dry. On the back of my hand I gave it 5 minutes and nope- still not dry. I think it is because of the sheer base, so I would stay away from the glitter liners. I will definitely still be trying some of the other liners from Hard Candy I think.
These come in a dozen colors and retail for $6 at Walmart.
