Review ♥ Monistat- Chafing Relief Powder- Gel (Primer)

Because of my lack of posting yesterday, here's one more today! Yay! 

Monistat- Chafing Relief Powder-Gel (used as primer) Review

$6 at Walmart

(Sorry for my weird scar hand!)

So yesterday I was snooping around online looking for a good primer. I just ran out of my Neutrogena Shine Control Primer (which I didn't like very much at all) and was using the L'Oreal Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base (mouthful much?) which does not control oil. I was in desperate need because my combination skin leaves me dry and patchy on my cheeks and super oily around my nose and on my forehead. I happened to come across a post about using the chafing gel as a primer and decided to check it out on Makeupalley.com. The reviews are about half and half it seems, but I decided to pick it up anyway. And considering it was only $6 at Walmart I figured I had nothing to lose. And let me tell you it was totally worth standing in the vagina cream and pregnancy test section of Walmart for like 10 minutes just trying to find this little beauty. 

This powder-gel comes out clear and thick, so a little goes a long way. It spreads easily and smoothly and leaves you with a soft and silky base. After I applied it to my t-zone I went about my normal routine, using NARS Sheer Glow Foundation. I then had to leave this morning to babysit, and let me tell you it was hot--and I had to walk home after. But my makeup stayed completely put. Even after 7 hours of wear I'm still not oily! Although it seems an odd substitute for a primer, this gel definitely works definitely works. I will absolutely be repurchasing and recommending!

Review ♥ L'Oreal Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner

Hello all! I've decided to do a review today! Recently my sister and I heard Zoella (so of course I had high hopes!) talking about this L'Oreal Infallible liquid eyeliner and thought that we'd give it a go. We picked it up at Walmart for $9, which is quite pricey compared to other drugstore brand eyeliners. 

Overall this product was good. Not fantastic, not horrible, just good. The packaging is nice and looks higher end, which I like. It has a felt tip and applies very smoothly and easily. It applies a lot better than most liquid eyeliners, I find. Its not as liquidy so its easier to control and keep your line as thick or thin as you want it (I am notorious for having thick eyeliner--unintentionally--so its perfect for those of you like me!). Its after I've applied it that it starts to go downhill. It claims to last 12 hours and be smudge-proof. But it's not! It runs and smudges when its warm out, leaving you with raccoon eyes. I was very disappointed that I wouldn't be able to wear this in the summer (because its literally 115 degrees every day where I live). If you live in a cooler climate I definitely suggest given this product a go. And I haven't completely given up hope in this product! I will try this again in the winter when the sun doesn't threaten to melt me. xx
