Equate Reviving Anti Wrinkle & Firming Moisturizer

Ok so this product is not new to me and I have had it for about 6 months. I can honestly tell you it's a good moisturizer. If your someone like me who has very very dry eyelids than you will probably be in the market for an eye cream. The thing is high end and mid range eye creams can be expensive even in the cheapest store. Previously I was using Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair but it's 55$, so I decided to look for cheap alternatives. 



While in WalMart I noticed they had a brand called Equate and basically this is WalMart's beauty brand. The advertisement said to compare the Equate eye cream to the Loreal Regenerist eye cream, which I have tried and liked but found it wasn't as smooth as I would like. The Equate cream is very much like the Loreal cream except its so much smoother it feels so good and absorbs fairly well into the skin. I've tried it with serums and putting it ontop of a heavier moisturizer and that's where it doesn't work so well. Ontop of a serum or primer it absorbs into the skin around my eye and immediately makes my eyes feel softer. But when I add heavier moisturizers (as I said my skin is so so dry) it tends to sit on top, when I put it under it absorbs well and I can layer another moisturizer but my serums don't absorbs as easily. 



Over all I think this is a great product for the price and I will purchase it again, the hydrating quality is about 50% of what the Estée Lauder cream was so it's no where near as luxurious or fulfilling but if you find you need your 50$ to be spent somewhere more practical than on an eye cream, the Equate brand is not such a bad deal. I wish it had the properties of the Regenerist because as a firming and anti aging product I don't see any changes but as a basic eye cream that de-puffs baggy eyes it's fine.

Marc Jacobs Blaquer Mascara

So I may be the last person in the word right now to tell everyone what I think of Marc Jacobs beauty but slowly I'm making my way through the products.  http://www.sephora.com/lash-lifter-gel-volume-mascara-P379421 The first product I want to talk about is the Marc Jacobs Blaquer Mascara, this product is a tubing mascara and builds up amazing volume. The wand is triangular in circumference which is really great for getting to all of my lashes, it's also very long which grabs most of them at once and since it's a tubing mascara it would need to. My eye lashes are super black and don't smudge or run and I have extremely runny eyes that just pour tears out of my outer corner whenever they are even slightly irritated. So lucky me, this mascara is yet another 25$ way too expensive product but honestly it's great. Here's the down side I do not recommend putting mascara on the top and bottom at the same time. Some mascara's don't mind touching together but sin...

Lancôme Je Ne Sais Quoi Collection

Oh You may miss out on this if your not paying attention but I was lucky enough to be in "Lordies" (Lord and Taylor) and found this wonderful collection. Lancôme calls it "Je Ne Sais Quoi" and introduced 3 matte Brightening eyeshadow palettes and 5 gorgeous single shadows! I was tempted to buy the whole collection as it was just laid out  but I'm going to have to save my pennies to get all 3 palettes.  Here go some pictures: There is one eyebrow pencil in the display as well as their staple Artliner and lash primer.  The 3 eyeshadow palettes (Beige Brûlée, Chocolate Amande, and French Nude) are matte but they have one extremely sparkly top coat (marked by the Lancôme logo imprint) shade which takes the whole cake for me . Chocolate Amande has a little more of a gold pearl shimmer in it but is not in anyway glittery. The liner shades are also of a "velux pearl" consistency and kind of throw off of the whole matte idea IMO but still gorgeous anyway. If y...

#Inktober 2018 1 week recap

Hi everyone welcome to my Inktober for 2018. This year I have tried to make more of an effort to have a complete idea. My goal is to develop a method for creating a complete idea. I do not always think through my drawings and often times end up with an unfinished sketch or rough idea. So this year I have been making the effort to go forward until a drawing is finished. I'm not looking to make 31 drawings just 31 post to my social media. The posts will be in various stages of development because I need to work on creating a complete idea. I used to hate making a solid composition and purposely wanted an unfinished idea but now that I'm older I see how truly unfinished my work looked, it just wasn't complete. So now I'm working on what  complete means to me and what I consider a complete piece. If you want to see all of the photos from Inktober 2018 please look at my instagram Glitter_Witch_Crafts to see how everything turned out. This was my first post for the ...
