Splurge vs. Bargin: Eye Makeup Remover

12.6.11

Lancome Bi Facil 150x150 Splurge vs. Bargin: Eye Makeup RemoverTaking off eye makeup with just regular soap and water doesn’t cut it, so a great eye makeup remover is a must. The first one I tried (as a suggestion from my mom) was Lancome’s BI-FACIL. Eye makeup removal with this is a snap–I usually put some on a q-tip after shaking the bottle to mix the 2 solutions, and everything comes off in one swipe. However at $26.00 Neutrogena Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover 150x150 Splurge vs. Bargin: Eye Makeup Remover(4.2 oz.), it wasn’t always in my budget.

Next up, I tried Neutrogena’s Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover. It caught my eye because just like Lancome’s BI-FACIL, it had 2 solutions that needed to be shaken before use.  The $7.99 (5.5 oz.) price tag didn’t hurt either! I found that Neutrogena’s Oil-Free Makeup Remover worked just as well as the BI-FACIL.

 

Now last night, I was about to pick up another bottle of Neutrogena, when I noticed the CVS brand Oil-Free Make-Up Remover right next to it. Since it looked very similar to Neutrogena, I decided to give it a whirl since it was $5.99 (6.4 oz.). And to my surprise, it worked just as well as the Neutrogena and Lancome.

CVS Adds Essie To Their Beauty Lineup

Making a quick run into CVS keeps getting harder as they add more top shelf beauty brands.

Today I noticed they had my favorite nail polish brand, Essie, displayed. Although the color selection was skimpy…it’s a start!

What Age Should A Girl Start Wearing Makeup?

16.12.10

Wearing makeup as a teen was always a struggle in my household. My older sister wasn’t allowed to wear makeup until she was a sophomore in high school—if that. And I’m not talking full out makeup…maybe a light lip gloss or blush if my mom was in a good mood.

I had it a little easier and started wearing lip gloss in maybe 8th grade. But again, it had to be very natural looking colors. I didn’t even touch eyeliner until I was probably 23–it honestly scared me because I had no experience using it.

Back then, I thought my mom was being cruel and was out to make my teenage years miserable. Now I’m thankful. These days I can’t help but to get aggravated to see Kris Jenner allowing her daughters Kylie,13, and Kendall, 15, look so grown, with body hugging clothes and heavy makeup. I understand it’s Hollywood, but these girls look like grown women…even in their Christmas cards. Meanwhile, I’m trying to revert back to looking like a 15 year old.

Check out these recent photos of Kylie and Kendall:
