Dior Fusion Mono Eyeshadow 7/10I don't know why but I have a strange obsession and longing for this eyeshadow. I own this in Lune (white) and Aventure (gunmetal) and a pot is expensive as hell (even if you get so much of it $50 still whaaat). I like it nevertheless. If you're gonna get it GET TWO- otherwise you're defeating the purpose of buying it. The whole point of a gel-eyeshadow is that it applies and blends really easily and smoothly. You can achieve an everyday look just by dipping your finger in the white pot, smear on inner eye corners, then dipping in grey pot and smear on outer corners. For a nighttime look do the same thing but heavier application. The sponge applicator that came with it is very cool because you can assemble it and that's always fun. It lasts for about 4-5 hours before the colour stops being as intense.
The Body Shop Colour Crush Eyeshadow 6/10This was an impulse buy because back then I wanted a second Dior pot and ceebs blowing another 50. There isn't much I can say about this eyeshadow because tbh I haven't used it in a while. It is as pigmented as the store advertised, and yes you can use your fingers. You don't even need a primer to put it on nicely. The texture is really nice and there is a slight shimmer. Though as a product in a competitive market it doesn't really stand out from the rest and you can probably get the same quality for 10 dollars less.
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner 9/10I got this in a two-pack at the airport (Black and Sepia Ink) for $50 only and not only did it have beautiful packaging it came with a mini eyeliner brush which works really well. The formula is really smooth and the black one's application is so pigmented it feels like a liquid eyeliner. The brown one stays on my waterline as well. This eyeliner dries quickly and does not smudge at all even on my sad monolids! It is pretty 'long-wearing' but the brown one isn't as great as the black. I can't say how this compares to the MAC and Maybelline one so you'd have to make up your own mind on what to buy.
The Body Shop Camomile Waterproof Eye & Lip Makeup Remover 8/10
Even though I usually just use my trusty Garnier wipes then Sense cleanser to remove my makeup, this baby is my saviour when it comes to my eyes and lips, where a few swipes just don't do the trick. For something smelling so nice and natural its strength is pretty intense. Three little drops onto a cotton wipe along with a dab of water can remove the makeup on both of my eyes. So freaking cheap compared to Clinique as well. My only concern is the tiny little opening that the product comes out of... I know it prevents wastage but I like the size to fit my cotton tip so I don't have to tip the bottle many times.
Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss 7/10
I got this in the slightly strange Genie colour, which is a bright, intense...orange. The end result is actually a pretty nude peach which blends well with a lipstick that's not as natural or just gives your lips a healthy glow (not shimmer! This product does not contain sparkles!) I didn't really like the applicator, and using your fingers became inevitable which on many occasions is gross. The texture feels pretty lip balm-y which is nice because a good lip product shouldn't dry-out your lips. And can I just add how PURDY is the packaging? Feels so luxurious holding it in your hands heheheh.
