Sally Girl Haul/ Sally Girl Baked Eyeshadows Review

Yay, so I've been wanting to write a review on these shadows for a while now and I'm super glad to finnaly be able to. Lately, I've been just super busy with Pit Orchestra for the musical in which I play the trumpet, gymnastics, jazz band, and just homework and stuff, ugh.

Anyway, I absolutly love these shadows, they are great to use wet or dry and are vibrant even without a base or primer.

A Day in the Life of Rachel

Once I wore the purple wet without a base or a primer and it lasted  
all day with no creasing, but then again it was a pretty easy day,  
just went to the mall.

I had never tried baked eyeshadows before and was mildly confused by  
the texture at first. I did some reasearch and found out that these shadows  
start off as a liquid and are literally  baked in an oven. Obviously  
not like the oven you have at home but a similar concept.

You can get these shadows for .99 cents (or .89 with a sallys card)  
ONLY at Sallys Beauty Supply(store/online) and they are the cutest things ever. The little container is so tiny and cute, I would say about the size of a  
quarter and it's got a little flip open cap and the whole thing  
reminds you of a little bubble... It's great.


I have 3 of their colors: Teal, Purple and Bronze. I love them all!

I have swatches and stuff so you can see.

At the top are just the shadows and at the bottom they are foiled

I know there are some little like 9 year old girls who have already  

entered the world of makeup and if that is you or your daughter or  
sister or something these are the perfect birthday gift, and at .89  
to .99 cents you can't beat it.

Overall, I would give these a 5 out of 5 because they are great  
product wise and price wise. I plan to buy the other colors soon if  
not today.

Claire's Liquid Eyeliner Review

If you read my last post you know very well that I am not pleased with this product. In fact I'm disgusted. I got a Claire's gift card for my birthday and with it bought this, a nail and manicure set for my mom for her birthday and a super duper cute headband with a bow.

Normally I think Claire's is a good store overall, I am dying to try their glow-in-the-dark nail polish, some of their eyeshadows and hopefully buy another manicure set for myself. But with their liquid eyeliner they definitely messed up. I'm sorry Claire's.

So, about the liner. When I saw it in the store it was boxed next to some silver liquid eyeliner and another one in purple. I hadn't tried liquid eyeliner before this so i decided to give it a try plus $3.99 seemed like a good deal. As soon as my dad and I got back to the car (yes my dad takes me shopping) I opened the liner and tried it on my hand. It made a thin clean black line so I was pretty happy.

Later on when I looked at my hand the nice thin black line was gone :0 but I didn't think anything about it then since I didn't know much about liquid liner because this was my first time trying it.
Now that I look back I see where that should have warned me.

Anyway, I tried it on my upper lash line one day and for about an hour it was fine but then I found myself brushing black flakes from my cheeks and when I got home and looking in the mirror there was no liner anywhere. Lids included. So throughout the day all the liner that I had put on that morning had completely flaked off.

I am trying to think of something good to say about this liner but can't seem to think of anything. It's pigmented like it should be but when you put it on it steaks so bad that you need like 3 layers to get a good bold line like what I was trying to do.

If you have anything positive to say about this product please let me know so that I can include it in this article.

My Saturday Makeup Disaster

Ok, so this morning I had to wake up earlier than my usual Saturday morning time... Maybe about 8:00 am. I was just going to line my eyes with my Claire's Liquid Eyeliner and then soften the look by lining with some black eyeshadow. I am going to do a review on this liquid liner so that you can know just how bad it is. It's absolutely horrid.

Anyway, I did my best with the liquid liner and made it just about right with some black shadow and an angled brush and headed out the door.

About an hour later, I was at choir practice (church choir). I swiped my fingers across my cheek because I thought I felt something and low and behold my liquid liner was flaking. AND THIS WAS AFTER AN HOUR. I went to the bathroom to look in the mirror and the liquid liner had flaked all over my face, eyelids and some of it clumped and stuck to my eyelashes. 

I had no makeup remover so I did the best I could with toilet paper and water. All that did was smear the black eyeshadow I had lined my eyes with all over my face. Great. 

Long story made shorter I ended up using lotion to clean up my face and I am never going to use Claire's Liquid Eyeliner again, which means I need a new liner. Which brand do you think I should try next?

Guest Posting and a Homemade Recipe for Organic Eye Makeup Remover

Need:

- Container

- Oil: canola, extra virgin olive, or grape seed

- 1 capsule vitamin e oil *optional

In your container put one of the oils of your choice listed and if you want some extra power add the Vitamin E Oil by poking a hole in the capsule and squeezing the contents out into your container. Grape seed oil is the best of the 3 because its the lightest, smells like nothing and it doesn't leave any kind of glossy sheen (even though you would wash that off anyway). My mom buys Grape Seed Oil at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. 


To remove put some of your mixture on a cosmetic sponge or a cotton ball and dab just a little bit of oil on both lids. Let it sit for about 5 seconds then wipe away make-up with your sponge. If you are using the olive oil (which is what I use) then you are going to want to wash your face after because even though its very good for the skin it leaves it very shiny, so you are going to wash that shine away. Especially if your skin breaks out from being oily.


If you need something that is not oil based because you have extremely acne prone skin, baby wipes and lotions are very good makeup removers as well.
