Product Review #1 - No Miss Cosmetics

I have had the wonderful experience of trying out No Miss Ltd. Cosmetics and I'm absolutely addicted.

This article is going to be on a couple No Miss Shadows and Liquid Eyeliners.

Sebring Shadow and Tallahassee Tan

These colours are more of neutral brown tones and go with any outfit. If you want a casual yet sleek look these are great shadows for either day or night. There is no residue left over, they blend well and throughout the day you do not need to touch up anything and there is no separation from the shadow from the eyelid if applied properly.

Ingredients: Silica, Mica and Iron Oxide

Brown and Black Liquid Eyeliner

I have to say, I was skeptical at first when I noticed it was a liquid eyeliner but turns out the application of the product is smooth, due to the amazing and precise applicator brush and the colour is vibrant and you only need a little because it really goes a long way. The liner stays on all day and doesn't run which that is a product worth keeping because having makeup that runs isn't a good thing. The great thing about this liner is, if you make a mistake, you can easily touch it up with a Q-Tip that has a bit of water on the tip. Easy cleanup. 

Ingredients: Honeysuckle Flower Extract, Bergamot Oil, Green Tea Extract, Jojoba Oil, Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter

 Overall I give these products an 8/10 and hope you get a chance to try them because they are really worth the chance.

Chasing Your Eyeliner When It's Running Away From You

Oh that dreaded raccoon look that we all wonder how in just a few short hours, our eyeliner begins to run away on us.

We have all been through it, we get ready for work in the morning, looking perfectly dressed, a beautiful makeup application and yes you guessed it, by lunch time, you have developed a look that could scare you; the raccoon eye look.

We stand in front of the mirror, using toilet paper, paper towel and even our fingers to try to wipe the look away from under the eyes. Unfortunately those (3) ways of removing the issue at hand, are not the safest.

Under our eyes, the skin is extremely thin and the blood vessels are closer to the surface, so if you are using something rough and abrasive, you can break blood vessels which then lead to "dark circles" under or around your eyes. 

We don't realize how much bacteria is on our hands. So next time you go to wipe your makeup from under your eyes or even touch your face, remember what you last touched. Bacteria on your face and near your eyes can cause infections, breakout, etc. Just be aware!

Here is a quick solution to fix the dreaded raccoon eye look:

An easier way to help your makeup from running is to set your eyeliner!

It is a simple trick to finish you look before you leave the house. There are (3) ways to do this:
1.) Setting Powder- (Laura Mercier-Loose Setting Powder)
2.) Eyeshadow - Use a colour close enough to your liner and put it on top of the liner to help it hold on.
3.) Toner- Misting a bit of toner or misting spray on your face will help in setting your powder and give you a flawless look as well. (Firming Tonic Facial Mist-Osmotics)

Also, as in a previous posted article, you do not want to add eyeliner to the lower lid as that could lead to infections. Applying to the lower lid is another huge reason your eyeliner runs because throughout the day your eyes water, its natural, and your eyeliner will wash away. As long as you are educating yourself and learning from mistakes you will eventually understand. Practice makes perfect.

You make it work for YOU! :)

What Are The Do's and Don'ts of Applying Eyeliner Properly

When you apply your eyeliner make sure you wipe the edge of your pencil it could have debris and other makeup residue which creates problems with the eye if not taken care of properly.

Also, you do not want to apply liner to the lower lid because you are doing the opposite of enhancing your eyes, as well as, you are potentially blocking your tear ducts on the lid.

You can develop infections and could possibly hurt your eye site. Styes are an infection you can develop from applying the liner to the lid and blocking your tear duct.

If you want to create the dramatic look, apply the liner under your lower lashes. That will give you the definition you are looking for and also, you can smudge the liner under the eyelashes where as you cannot smudge the lower lid.
