Solone Vivid Fantasy Smoody Pencil Review & Coupon !

Hi everyone! I wanted to do a quick review on the Solone Alice Fantasy Smoody Pencil in Black which I ordered online for tight lining my waterline.

Usually when I do my make up, I load up on my mascara close to my upper waterline to darken it, and I realized there is a much easier solution to that! Tight lining can define and open up your eyes as long as you have the right easy glide eyeliner. So I went on my search, however nothing I could find at my beauty supply stores was smooth or soft enough for everyday use.  Then I set my search online. One n night when  I was ordering my circle lenses from Uniqso, I figured to check out their make up section and found this Smoody eyeliner on sale and went for it. 
Here is my findings:

PURCHASED FROM: Uniqso

PRICE: $13.90 $11.82 (I got mine on SALE)

COLOR: Black Glitter

QUALITY: 5/5
This glides on better than Lancome, Este Lauder or MAC. I have never had a liner like this, you can even blend it for a smoky look with very little effort. It will not transfer and stay in place. I like it for tight lining my upper lash line to darken my lashes and make my eyes pop so I don't over use my mascara there instead.

EASE OF USE: 5/5 This eyeliner is SO CREAMY, literally just glides on but does not transfer to where you don't want it. Its also 2 in one so you can use it as eye shadow.

SHARPENING: 3/5 
I'm only rating this a 3 because I thought I had to sharpen it. Stuck it into my sharpener and shaverd off a piece of plastic. DUH! it has a built in sharpener on the bottom. Juts twist and it will self sharpen. I learned the hard way and now my eyeliner had a small chunk of plastic missing because I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed myself apparently.

OVERALL: 4.5/5
This eyeliner is self sharpening, had shimmer for extra sparkle in my eye, glides on like silk, very creamy, smudge proof / waterproof, and just a super duper smooth pencil liner. WOW. Several ulzaang/ gyaru/ lolitta and gyaru makeup looks can be created using Solone Alice Fantasy Smoody Pencil. Have a look here for your makeup inspiration.  I'm just upset I stuck it in my sharpened and now need to order another one. 

CONS:
*don't sharpen it, just twist the bottom.
*hard to get a precise point due to self sharpening
*more difficult for a cat eye line

PROS:
*WATERPROOF <33 oh yes baby!
*very creamy
*glides on easily
*perfect for smudging or smoky eye or eye shadow
*perfect for tight lining
*does not transfer
*comes in lots of colors
*THE BEST pencil for your waterline.

Stella Collagen Eyelash Glue Review & Coupon Code

Hello everyone :) I have been dying to review this eyelash glue. For years I have been using the same "waterproof" stuff  that comes in a white tube by LashGrip. The glue I was using before was irritating my eye and causing lots of sticky build up so I decided to start a search for something new.

APPLICATOR: 5/5
This is so easy for touch ups oh my gosh! if you mess up on your application the little brush is easy to get into any crevice for an easy fix.

STICKINESS: 5/5
This stuff works better than my waterproof glue. I like to wear my lashes for a few days and there is no such thing as waterproof glue anyways but I wash around my eyes and this stuff outlasts my other glues.

DRY TIME: 5/5
It dries super fast and changes color from iridescent to invisible so you know its dry.

COLOR: 4/5
I am used to using dark eyelash glue but I used to have some problems with it. When I'm not wearing eyeliner and want to wear lashes for a lush natural look, it would look strange and bulked up. So I actually prefer this completely clear drying glue. I am just not used to my glue changing color and not being tinted but I like it!

OVERALL: 5/5
My new eyelash glue for sure! I'm gust sad I didn't start using it sooner. Since I wear my lashes for long periods of time, I want to protect my skin and I'm very happy I found a solution!

PROS:
Collagen infused for improved skin elasticity
Dries Clear
Easy to apply
Great applicator
Easy touch ups for next day lashes
Lasts a few days or longer if you only wash your face and around your eyes
No Glue wasted
No Residue when you have touched up more than once in same place within a week.
Easy to take off
Does not pull out eyelashes
Soothes eyelids

CONS:
Have not found any yet.

PURCHASED FROM: Uniqso

PRICE: $7.90 (so worth it!)




Like most lash glue, after applying on eyelashes it will become tacky, so don't apply lashes right after you put the glue on them wait 10 seconds.
