Haul/Review: Viva Glam Cindy & Gaga, Maybelline Eye Studio Gel liners

I have been searching for the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liners for the longest; I went to several different pharmacies in my area, such as Duane Reade, Rite Aid, and CVS.  I FINALLY found the  Gel Liners at the Duane Reade on the Corner of Montague Street & Court Street (Brooklyn Heights).  For my Brooklyn people who are searching for them, they had a good amount there, unlike the one on Jay St & Fulton.  



The Gel Liner’s come in 4 colors: 
1. Black
2. Brown
3. Grey (Purchased)
4. Plum (Purchased)
Maybelline’s Claims: Only our oil-free formula can hold highly concentrated pigments in a clear gel base.

  • So color is more intense and lines resist wear for 24 hours.
  • Smudge-proof and Water-proof.
  • The most intense line for lasting drama.

Price: $9.99 


I also purchased this, L’Oreal’s Telescopic Explosion.  It was suggested to me by one of my Sorors.  I tried it last night. I don’t really like it.  For $9.49 I think it could be a whole lot better. What my MF 2000 Calorie Mascara did for me in one application, I had to apply at least 4 coats to get the look I wanted with L’Oreal’s Telescopic Explosion.  It didn’t clump or flake, nor did it smudge.  It just didn’t do anything for my lashes.  


 
 
 
 
 


I’ve saved the BEST for last!  Viva Glam’s Cindy & Gaga! (Available for a limited time – 12 months)
Price: $14 – All proceeds of VIVA GLAM Lipstick and Lipglass is donated to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS.
I LOVE them BOTH! I wore Gaga last night lined my lips with Chestnut Liner, layered Pinkarat Lustreglass … This is how it looked.

Haul: Make Up Forever Pro Membership, 88 Neutrals Palette, Artistry Applicators

I finally received my MUFE Pro Membership Packet in the mail today. It definitely didn’t take me long to get it.  I was immediately excited. 40% off of everything MUFE! That is AMAZING!!! Especially since their stuff is so expensive.

I also received my 88 Neutrals Palette from BHCosmetics.  I must say, I am NOT happy with it. The freaking eyeshadows kept falling out! (You will see this in the video haul).  It’s not made well like the 120 Palette I bought from them.  I’m going to contact the company to see if they will send me a new palette.

The colors are well pigmented though, which is great. This palette was $21.20 + $7.95 S&H.  They sent a coupon code (bhsp21) for 15% off my next order, which expires on March 8, 2010.  
Artistry has lip applicator brushes, and dual Mascara & liner wands.  Both were great deals. I like both products.  They’re perfect for your kit if you’re building one too, especially the dual mascara/liner wand.  You’ll see in the video haul. 
I also taped a tutorial today. I’m a little peeved in it. You can totally see it in my face.  It’s because of this stupid palette & the primetime primer got in my eye on my contact!!! I’m done venting
