L'Oréal Infallible Lacquer Liner in Blackest Black Review and Swatches

Hey everyone! Today I have a review on the L'Oréal Infallible Lacquer Liner. I picked it up recently because I was wondering how it would compare to other drugstore gel liner that I have tried. Also, my Wet n Wild Gel liner dried up on me a couple months ago so I have been using mostly liquid since then. I wanted to get back into gel liner because I love how it looks so I decided to give this one a try. I have been playing around with it for a little while now so I decided to review it for you all, in case any of you are looking to try out a new gel liner from the drugstore!

Review

Packaging : I quite like the packaging. It feels durable and closes tightly. The glass jar makes the packaging looks almost a bit fancy which I like. My only concern with it is that the metallic gold lid of the jar get dirty really quickly. As you can see, mine already has a bunch of fingerprints on it and I haven't owned it that long.

Color payoff : This liner is as black as you can get it one single swipe. I'm quite impressed by how dark it is. It really makes your eyes pop when applied.

Texture, Application and Wear : This gel liner is exceptionally creamy and it glides on easily when applied with a fine liner brush or an angled brush. So far, it seems to wear nicely, without rubbing or flaking off like some liners do. It remains as intensely pigmented all day as when you first apply it. What I have yet to discover though is how quickly this product dries out. I used to love my Wet n Wild cream liner, but it dry up on me in only a couple months. I will keep you posted on that later on.

Finish : This liner has a matte finish.

Price : 10-12$ depending on where you buy it.

Overall : I'm not 100% sure how much I like this yet, just because I don't know if it'll dry up quickly. If it does, than I'd rather spend 3$ on a Wet n Wild one instead of 10-12$. If it doesn't than I'll gladly pay a little more to be able to use more of my product. Other than that, I'm thrilled with this gel liner. The pigmentation is fantastic and it's the creamiest Drugstore Gel Liner I have tried so far. It is a little bit on the pricey side for a drugstore product, but most gel liners I have seen are around the same price point (the Maybelline Eye Studio one is also 10-12$) so I guess it's alright. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a nice drugstore gel liner that is very creamy and very black. 9/10

Swatches

That's all for today's review! I hope this was helpful to you all! Have you tried this gel liner? What did you think? Let me know in the comments!

My Winter Skincare Routine

Hey all! Today I'm sharing my winter skincare routine with you. I'm always interested to know products people use on a daily basis to keep their skin healthy and radiant so in case you were curious about what I'm using, I decided that I would make a blog post about it!

During the winter time, it gets very cold here in Quebec City (It can get as cold as -30 degrees celsius or -22 degrees fahrenheit) which means that my face, lips and body become quite dry. Also, the fact we have the heat on constantly in the house makes my skin even more dry.  Because of that, I need heavier products to help me keep my skin and lips from chapping, which is why I have a different skin care routine during the winter.

• For my body, I like to use the Coconut Body Butter from The Body Shop during the winter months. It's very thick and hydrating which means it's perfect to keep my skin in good shape throughout the colder weather. I use this whenever I feel like my skin needs it.
• I also like to use Massage Bars by Lush at the end of some of my showers. Hot water can dehydrate the skin so by applying this oily product to the skin at the end of my shower, it forms a layer of protection on the skin which keep the moisture from the skin from evaporating once you get out of the shower. I like to use this at night because it does leave the skin with an oily residue.
• Last, I use the Glysomed Hand Cream several times a day. It's my absolute favorite hand cream because it leaves my hands very silky, but not oily. My hands are so soft and nourished after this, I've never seen anything like it.

My face is the most prone to getting dry during the winter. I get dry patches on my nose and forehead (the flaky noticeable kind, yuck) and my under eyes get very dry. Because of this, I use much heavier moisturisers during the day and night time.

• For the day, I like to use the Avène Eau Thermale Tolérance Extrême Cream. It's quite thick and it definitely gives much needed hydration to the skin. It's also great for my sensitive skin which has a tendency to be more prone to eczema during the winter time. This moisturizer is specifically designed with eczema prone skin in mind which makes it a perfect choice for me.
• For the night, I use the Garnier Ultra-Lift Firming Night Cream. It's a nice thick cream which feels great on the skin. It does have a scent to it, which I'm not too fond of since my skin tends to be extra sensitive during the winter, but I'm almost done with this jar so I'll try something new next time.
• Eye cream is critical for me during the winter months because I sometimes get eczema around the eyes and dry patches on my lids. I like this Olay Eye Cream to help soften my eye area. It's a gel formula so it's not too oily for the delicate eye area.
• As far as my cleansing routine is concerned, it's the same year round. I do tend to exfoliate more often during the winter time because dry skin tends to make my skin look dull. I exfoliate about 2 to 3 times a week during the winter, while I may do it maybe only once a week during the summer. I've been using the St-Yves Apricot Scrub for years now and I like it.
• Last, I like to use the L'Oréal Go 360 Clean Facial Cleanser to wash my face at night. I like the scrub that it comes with and it feels fresh on the skin. I think it's a great cleanser for year round.

 Next, for my lips, I do pretty much the same thing year round because I get super chapped lips no matter how much water I drink and how often I apply lip balm. It's always been that way (and that's probably why I have an almost unhealthy obsession with lip balm, ahaha).

• In the morning and at night, before applying lip balm, I exfoliate my lips using the Popcorn Lip Scrub by Lush. It gets rid of any dead skin and helps smooth my chapped lips before I apply any lip product. It's definitely been my holy grail ever since I got it this past summer.
• Next, if it's morning, I will apply a light balm such as Maybelline Babylips or Softlips or something like that.
• At night, I prefer something heavier such as Blistex Lip Medex, Nivea Lip Butter or Vaseline Lip therapy.

Lastly, I thought I would mention the products that I use for makeup removal, which is, in my opinion, also a crucial step in any skin care routine. Efficient makeup removal is super important if you want healthy and clear skin.

• First, I remove my eye makeup using Equate Eye Makeup Remover. It's somewhat similar to the Neutrogena Oil Free Makeup remover, but I don't like it as much. The reason I use this one anyway is because I wanted to try it and now I have a full bottle of it which I'm trying to use up. Anyway, it does work to remove my makeup ok, so it does the job for now.
• Next I Remove the bulk of my face makeup using Equate Facial Cleansing Towelettes which I'm a very big fan of.
• Last, to make sure that all my makeup is removed and that there isn't any oily residue on my skin from the makeup remover, I use Bioderma on a cotton pad all over my face. This is a no-rinse face makeup remover that is very gentle on the skin. It sort of feels like putting water on your face, but you can see it remove all the rest of the makeup that all the other products couldn't get. If I'm going to wash my face soon, I may skip this step, but if I go let's say, a few hours before washing my face, I will always use Bioderma to end up my makeup removal routine.

That's all I do to my skin on an everyday basis during the winter time to help keep it clear and healthy looking! I hope you find this helpful or interesting. :)

Beauty Empties n3 : Mini Product Reviews (Fall Edition)

Hey all! Today I'm back with another empties post! Like I always do, I will give you a brief review of all the products I have finished so that you know how I have felt about it. Don't forget to check out my Beauty Empties 1 and my Beauty Empties 2 also! Get ready for a text heavy post. Hope you enjoy! Let me know in the comments if you've tried any of these products and what you thought of them. :)

Bath and Body Works Anti Bacterial Soap in Fresh Picked Tangerines
As always, I think that the scent of the Bath and Body Works hand soaps is phenomenal. This tangerine smell was heavenly. I also love that it lingers on your hands for a while after using it. What I'm not so fond of is how drying they are for my hands. I ought to try the moisturizing kind next. Would repurchase, but another formula.

Equate Facial Cleansing Towelettes
I'm always raving about these. Check out my other Beauty Empties to know what I think of them.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Makeup Remover
Probably my favorite makeup remover at the moment. I am currently trying out the Equate kind, which seems similar, but kind of stings, which this one doesn't. It removes all my eye makeup including waterproof mascara. Would repurchase.

Klorane Makeup Wipes
I didn't like these. They were supposed to be blueberry scented, but to me they smelled like vinagear. Not a scent I like to put on my face. They weren't moist or soft enough to be pleasant on the skin or remove properly my eye makeup. The wipes were quite large though which was nice. It's probably the only good thing I have to say about these. Oh and they were super expensive too (14$ for 25, ouch!) Would not repurchase.

Bath and Body Works White Barn N1 Candle (Nutmeg and Spices)
My favorite candle of all time for fall and winter. The smell is quite potent and very comforting. I have a few smaller backups of this. I haven't gotten the bigger one yet because I have so many to finish before that. Would repurchase.

Secret with Olay Deodorant
Nothing wrong with this deodorant. I usually quite like Secret deodorants. I did think it lacked a fun smell though, which I know not everyone enjoys, but I kind of like. What I disliked most about this is the packaging. It's a twist up system, like you would have with gel formulas, but with a cream anti perspirant inside which oozes through the cracks when you turn the dial. First off I think it's kind of a ridiculous ideal, second it wastes a ton a product so you end up with two tons of deodorants underneath you arm, unless you use your fingers to spread the amount that was squeezed out on both your armpits. Meh. Wouldn't repurchase.

Bioderma Hydrabio Serum
This was just a sample I got when I purchased my face cream. It's nothing special in my opinion. Very light and feels nice, but no nicer that my much less expensive Neutrogena Cream. Wouldn't buy it.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Solution Micellaire
I used this as a facial makeup remover and it worked wonders. No need to rinse afterwards and felt very nice on the skin, no tightness or greasy feeling whatsoever. I would also use it to freshen up in the morning before I put on my makeup. Quite sad to see it gone especially since it's so expensive. Would probably repurchase eventually.

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner 
Great Coconut smell and works pretty well too. It's a thick conditioner, just the way I like them. Would repurchase.

Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Leave in Conditioner
Nice smell and creamy texture. Very inexpensive, but didn't do miracles to my hair, or at least, not that I noticed. I took my ages to finish it and I'm kind of relieved that it's gone now, lol. Wouldn't repurchase because it doesn't do enough for my hair.

Biore Makeup Remover
Also a sample I got with purchase. It's so tiny that it's kind of difficult to tell if it was any good. Seemed to do the job just fine. Would try it since it's pretty inexpensive.

Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara
My holy grail mascara. You probably know how much I love this if you've checked out my monthly favorites this year. Would repurchase over and over again.

Chi Shine Infusion Spray
Not a bad product at all and it smells heavenly. It's pretty much like the Silk Infusion Oil by Chi, but in spray form. I think it's intended to use on either wet or dry hair. It does work great, but it's easy to overdo it and I prefer the oil version. I have another one I'm working on that my mom gave me (because she didn't use it), but after that I wouldn't repurchase.

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle (Moist)
I think I have one of those in every Empties post. Love the smell, love how it works. I still have 1 or 2 backups of this, but unfortunately I cannot find it anymore in Quebec. I thought Target might sell it and I was kind of pinning my hopes on that, but apparently they don't so after I'm out, I don't know when I'll ever get my hands on this again :( Would repurchase if I can find it.

Samani Antibacterial Brush Cleaner
This was my first time trying a brush cleaner and I was impressed. It really gets all the color out quickly and efficiently and it dries quickly. Perfect for spot cleaning your brushes after each use. Would repurchase.

Viva La Juicy Perfume
This is a sample I got at the Bay. I love the smell and would definitely wear this perfume (not as much as my Classique by JPG though). Don't really want to pay the 80$ for the full size though so I might purchase it someday, but not yet.

Clean & Clear Persa Gel 10
We don't have this formula here in Canada. I got this one in the states. Here we only have the 5.  I don't think the 10 is any more effective than the 5 though. It's not proven that 10% benzoyl peroxyde is any more efficient that 5% and it's more irritating to the skin which is better to avoid when you have acne. I'm fine sticking with the 5% from now on, which works just as great for me.
Would repurchase the Persa Gel 5.

That all for the beauty empties! Thanks for sticking with me this long if you're still reading this and I hope it was informative and helpful for you! Let me know in the comments of any products that you think I should try! I love trying out new things :)

50 Random Facts About Me Tag

Hey all! Today, I decided to do the 50 random facts about me tag! (I actually went overboard and I have 56, lol). I don't talk about myself that often on this blog, so I thought this was a good opportunity to let you all know me a little more. I took me a long time to compile 50 facts about myself, so sorry if some of these are boring or really random. Anyway, keep reading if you're interested :P

19) And because I'm full of contradictions (as you can probably see at this point), I also love to do rock climbing! I'm not very good at it, and it does scare me, but it feels nice to confront your fears sometimes.
20) One of my favorite things to do is hiking. I love to be in the forest and I love to climb mountains. It's really relaxing and it's always very rewarding.

Beauty Favorites : November 2013

Hey everyone! Since November is now over and December is just starting, it's time for me to share my monthly beauty and random favorites with you all!

I'm really excited for December because I adore Christmas! It's my favorite time of the year. :) I just started my advent calendar (I got a Lindt one this year and I really pumped about it, ahah) and my Christmas tree is all set! It even has a couple presents underneath! Basically as you can see, I'm quite happy that November is gone and that December is finally here.

December will be a very busy month for me, at least until the 20th when my uni trimester ends. After that I will be free until the beginning of january, which is really exciting!

Now, enough blabbering and let's get onto the favorites!

I haven't got too many thing to share today. I figure, I've been presenting the same stuff over and over again on my favorites and it's getting kind of boring. So I thought I would stick with new stuff or at least things I haven't featured a million times already. I still do love everything else I've shown recently dearly though!

Beauty Favorites

♥ ZA Total Hydration Energy Mist ♥ 

Winter time means dry skin for me and it makes my makeup look dry and not so attractive. I love to spray this hydration mist after I'm done applying to keep thing as dewy and moisturised as possible.

♥ Bioderma Sensibio H20 Solution Micellaire ♥

 No rinsing needed, gets all my face makeup off and doesn't leave a tight feeling behind. Perfect for dry skin and lazy girls like me :P

♥ Organix Morrocan Argan Oil ♥ 

Smells great, makes my ends nice, shiny and healthy looking and it's super affordable. It's a win-win situation!

♥ NYX Eyeshadow Base in Nude ♥ 

It will never replace my beloved Urban Decay primer potion, but this stuff works well and I love that it is tinted. It's great to even out my lid, especially if I'm not going to wear much on my lids.

♥ OPI Nail Polish in Dulce de Leche ♥

So wearable, perfect neutral pinky nude for my nails! 

♥ Baptiste Dry Shampoo ♥ 

This is the original, but I also love the tropical scent. It's quite effective at absorbing extra oil and it really lifts my roots. 

♥ Maybelline FIT Me Foundation ♥ 

Love the texture and coverage of this foundation. It conceals well without the foundation look. The color 115 is perfect for my winter complexion.

♥ Nivea Lip Butter ♥ 

You have to go kind of easy on this one because it will leave a white cast behind if you overdo it. It's not great if your lips are really chapped (only accentuates the cracks), but once you've got a bit of moisture going, you get a nice shiny lip with this and the smell is incredible.

♥ Garnier Tinted Roll On Treatement ♥ 

Gives off a cooling sensation which is nice in the morning when you have puffy eyes. Super thin consistency, but pretty good coverage, an ideal combo in my book.

♥ Stila Smudge Stick in Damsel ♥ 

I had forgotten about this pencil liner since I've been sporting mostly black recently. This liner is so creamy and it really lasts on the waterline. Damsel is a nice deep brown color which looks great on.

♥ Rimmel Stay Matte Powder ♥ 

Around the end of the summer, I didn't really like this powder. I think it's not that great at actually keeping you matte if you have oily skin (ironic isn't it?). Now that my skin is on the drier side though, I love that this powder sets my makeup, but still is quite light on the skin so that my skin doesn't look super dry and dull.

♥ Quo Eyelash Curler ♥ 

It's amazing. It curls my lashes without any effort and the pink color is just so pretty! Also, it was only 5$ which is a bargain.

Random favorites

Food

Orange Juice - I don't know why, but I'm always craving it lately. I especially love the Tropicana one with "some pulp". 

Miso Ramen - Cold weather means I want soup all the time. It's so comforting. Everything we go out to a ramen place (which is often lately) I get the miso ramen. It's so lovely ♥

TV Shows

The Vampire Diairies (Still not caught up with the current season)

Brookly 99 - It's just hilarious

Trophy Wife - Really funny as well!
