Physicians Formula Gel CreamLiner DISCONTINUED?!?!?!

The saddest day of my life when I realized that my local drugstores are no longer carrying the Physicians Formula Gel CreamLiners! These are honestly my favorite gel eyeliners and despite the fact that they have little sparkles on them, they would out great and can last a very long time without smudging on my oily lids!

They come in threes, I think that PP has a thing for the number 3! All their products seems to be like that! I only really just use the black ones but they are just the nicest Gel Eyeliners EVER! Better than their drugstore competition Maybelline Studio Gel Eyeliner and DEFS better than the Estee Lauder eyeliner that I spent $25 on... What was I thinking? 


These are not my own photos, I stole these from google! :P 

These are not my own photos, I stole these from google! :P 

If you can get your hands on it, I highly recommend it because these are long wearing, high pigmented, and has really funky colors that are GREAT for spring!

I have tried the trio for brown eyes and the one for Hazel eyes in the gold packaging and the only difference is that they have different color sparkles in them for the black formula. Other than that, the other two colors vary depending on which one you get. 

Well I think I'm just going to go cry in a corner because one of my favorite drugstore gel eyeliners is being discontinued... LOL jk I'm going to study for my FRENCH final now! :P

P.S. Check the discounted stores to get these. I found some at Winners which is the Canadian equivalent to a TJ MAXX or Marshalls in the states!

DRUGSTORE MAKEUP HAUL! MAYBELLINE PRODUCTS!

SO..... I've been really bad and bough more makeup that I will ever need in my life. BUT Wal-Mart was having such a great deal! A lot of the new Maybelline products were only $5.97 which was great because normally they would be over $10 bucks! And the nail polishes were only $2.50! :O

I honestly think I have problems with money. No amount of business classes could help me and I've taken 6! I guess I'll just have to deal with the fact that I will be alone and broke in the future! :(

LASTING DRAMA WATERPROOF GEL EYELINER IN BLACKEST BLACK 

So the first thing I wanted to try was the gel eyeliner! 

REVIEW:
I really like this because it's a dryer formula than most of the gel eyeliners that I've tried and it's just great for me because I have oily eyelids! :( When companies say something is waterproof and 24 hours, they're just hyping it up. This will definitely NOT last that long and it will smudge but that's all makeup right? I really like the brush of this but still prefer an angled eyeliner brush to put this kind of eyeliner on. The pigmentation is great and the formula is dry like I have stated before so this is GREAT! This was much cheaper than my Estee Lauder gel eyeliner and I prefer this over that one as well! 

MASTER PRECISE PEN EYELINER IN BLACK


REVIEW:

I really need to stop buying these pen form eyeliners unless they are waterproof or something. This is great and the pen IS really that thin but to be honest, I don't need a thin pen because I like thicker lines. This will DEFINITELY smudge if you don't put primer or matte-fy the eyelids ahead of time because when this touches water or oil, it will move in an instant. Cray cray right? I need to stop spending money on things like this. 





Next things I got was nail polish! I am obsessed with coral and mint green this spring/all year round so I decided to pick up only 2 from this Maybelline line. I actually controlled myself for once! 

REVIEW:
These polishes are really bright and the color you see is the color that goes on the nails. The color is really opaque and definitely can be built up with more coats. It's nothing professional and it WILL chip but it's nail polish and it was cheap so I didn't mine. I just love these two colors! 


I went ahead and got two of the Maybelline Vivids lipstick line because I've heard really great things about. GUESS what colors I got? Shocking Coral and Vibrant Mandarin of course! Any lip product that has the words coral or looks orangy, I am THERE!

REVIEW:
I LOVE these lipsticks. It's not dry on the lips and it has so shimmer. I think that a lot of companies are trying not put a lot of glitter and shimmer into their products because it gets too much for daily looks. I think that these are great colors that I would wear day to day! The color stays on for a reasonable amount of time before it starts to fade and I just like the way they apply. They have a good smell to it and doesn't taste waxy which I like. I hate those cheap lipsticks that smell and taste really bad. YUCK! 

There goes more money that I probably didn't have to spend on these products so yup there you go! 

It's funny because I know no one really reads my blog but it's nice to write to people, even if it's myself!  LOL I'm a loser, I know! :P

DRUGSTORE HAUL!!! MARCH 2013


So I went to Superstore and I swear they had the biggest sale EVER!

Some makeup products were only a couple of dollars! I had to take pictures and show you! I'm honestly the last person to get on the wagon of some of these items but you can never have enough lippies or shadows! :)))


Finally got BABY LIPS! 
Grape Vine

Cherry Me

Pink Punch 
I only got the colored ones because I have a lot of Burt's Bees chapstick that I love and are clear so I didn't feel the need to spend more money on things I already have! :P

These were only $3.99 on sale which is normal price elsewhere I know but to me that was a bargain! :D

Needed new mascaras and finally got the new Maybeline one AND the old falsies one! I can't believe I've never tried the falsies before! 



Volume Express The ROCKET (WP)
Volume Express the FALSIES (WP)
Got the infallible shadow in Amber RUSH and I honestly LOVE this color and the texture. I already own two of these so I'm really happy to find this color that's a lot more different than my other ones! 


JOE Fresh has beauty products and this shadow was on sale for $2.00! Obviously I had to have it! :) This is a great matte brown color that is in a single form. It's GREAT for the crease! 

Color in TWIG
 

Saw this Maybelline Color Tattoo METAL in Inked in Pink and I love this sheer rose color. This  is so nice and I forget how much I love cream shadows sometimes. This will be a nice addition to my two other color tattoos!


Inked in Pink 


My last favorite items of the haul were these REVLON LIP BUTTERS IN RASPBERRY PIE, SUGRAR PLUM AND CANDY APPLE!  


Raspberry pie is a lovely pink/magenta color that looks really bright but not as read as Candy Apple which is a pure red color that is moisturizing. Sugar Plum is a nude color on my lips because I have darker lips so it doesn't seem like it shows up as much but it's still nice to neutralize the lips sometimes.
