Pros

Natural looking
Doesn't clump easily
Packing is simple and sleek
Affordable (at around $5)
Easy to find

Cons
Very Wet (too wet for me)
Not build-able (which I prefer)

Are you diggin' the double winged eyeliner??

I definitely am! I haven't gotten around to trying it though...
I think it would also look good with one color along the top lash-line and a different color along the bottom! or with a bold lip.

I think it is appropriate for a more dressy or casual look as long as you don't wear darker shadows with the such bold liner. 


I have two favorite liquid eye liners I would use for this look...all time favorite and...Second Favorite 
The mark. eyeliner is more matte and has a more intense color.
The n.y.c. eyeliner has a bit of a shimmer to it.

Review: Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer

 I bought Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer for $6 at Wal-mart.
  It came in a little plastic box with not one....but two concealers! 
One was a thick, liquid consistency 
And the other was a concealer pencil in the same shade. 
This review will only be on the liquid concealer.

 amazing coverage 
very thick 
Covers any age spots or imperfections
Only need a dab about the size of an... Advil pill
 I applied it with a concealer brush and then blended it in with my fingertip. 
I wouldn't recommend for under eye circles 
I would recommend for blemishes/acne scars

  Very poor color selection: comes in light, medium and dark
I purchased in light
 The color was too light for my skin tone 
(even at its palest)
The medium color was too dark for my skin

  All in all, if this concealer had a greater color selection, I would probably repurchase it because it was such a good deal!
