This vs. That: Lashes

MAC 42 Lashes vs. a similar pair on eBay. Some of you may hate these lashes because they are a bit dramatic, while others may love it and it might be right up your alley. I am one of the ones who loves them! I own both of these. I bought the MAC pair first and then found this set on eBay. (since my photography skills are lacking, I had to browse eBay to find a picture of the 2nd pair.) They aren't identical, but they are a close dupe! & you can get a pack of 8 pairs for around $5 including shipping while MAC's cost $12 for 1 pair. The only downfall is they are a bit annoying to put on because the band is so thick and stiff! I stopped wearing falsies for awhile and when I tried to apply these bad boys one day out of the blue, they gave me some trouble!

This vs. That: Cream/Gel Liners

I don't know about anyone else, but I prefer gel or cream liners over liquid or pencil. I love the lasting power of the gel/cream and also the intensity of color. There are so many different options as far as brands and colors go when deciding to buy any makeup. Some people prefer only high end, some prefer only drug store, others prefer whatever gets the job done..which is me. lol





We've all heard of MAC fluidline. It is one of the more popular gel liners on the market and many people own and use it. I do own it and I do love it, but is it my favorite? Ehh, I don't know about that. My first liner of this style was the L'Oreal HIP cream liner in black. It worked well and I liked it but it seemed to have dried out so fast. The cost of the L'Oreal liner was about $10, I figured if I was spending that much for drugstore why not just try the MAC. So I made my way to MAC and picked it up. It had great consistency and the color was also intense, it didn't seem to try out nearly as fast so overall I was pleased...and then I came across Wet n'Wild cream liner. The price is ridiculously cheap (around or less then $4!) and let me add the quality is great! I love this stuff!! I pick this over the fluidline each and every day! The only downfall is that the packaging isn't nearly as nice and looks cheap. I am someone who cares about packaging but if you can get past that, then it's a great product. Definitely thumbs up...save yourself some moola and give it a shot!

This vs. That: Primers

We've all heard of UDPP, it works wonders and we all love it....however lately I've noticed that it is bothering my eyes. Maybe it always has, who knows?..But I am realizing it now. My eyes itch shortly after applying and sometimes they even begin to water.

This is annoying for a few reasons.
1. I just want to itch my eyes therefore messing up my eyeshadow.
2.) my eyeliner/mascara starts to run, and...
3.) it's just plain uncomfortable!!!

Not cool!

I haven't tried too many others but the few I have just didn't work. They caused creasing and it was just a mess. (although sometimes I do like the messy look). I decided to give the Pilladio eye primer from Sally's a try. I have to say I like it. It doesn't cause irritation to my eye :-) but the packaging is smaller then UDPP and also the same, causing a lot of product to go to waste.

Moral of the story...if anyone else's eyes are irritated by UDPP or any other primer for that matter, the Pilladio is affordable and easier to get to. (well, for me anyway!) Just a suggestion...

Until next time dolls, hugs & kisses xoxo
