REVIEW, PHOTOS AND SWATCHES: LA Colors Jumbo Eyeliner Pencils

Hello lovelies, today I am going to be doing a review on the jumbo eyeliner pencils by LA Colors.


I got the colors Sunglasses, which is just a simple black color, Sea Shells which is white and Relaxation which is a shimmery brown.

I chose these colors because they are the colors that I use the most but after using these three colors I am convinced to buy more (: so moving on the the review.

First is Sunglasses.




I normally like my eyeliner to wing out and I was pleasantly surprised when I found that this pencil allowed me to do that. The pencil is very dark and very easy to apply. Literally if you just lightly tap the tip of the pencil you will get some black, I like that. I do not have to use a lighter or any kind of heat on this pencil. It is very soft and VERY pigmented. Sometimes I also use it to darken my eyebrows, I just dab my angle brush on the tip and I am good to go!



This pencil is very smooth and it lasts throughout the entire day. Since I tend to have really long days this is important to me (:

Next is Sea Shells.



Okay obviously I do not wear my white liner like this everyday but I do wear it on my water line when I want to appear more awake and I do not want my eyes to look like a zombie. This pencil was not as soft as Sunglasses but it does apply very easily and the pigmentation is good. However on my waterline I find myself having to reapply every few hours but I think that is just because my eyes water so much during the day.



I have had bad experiences with other white liner that actually scratched my water line because they were not soft enough and I did not have that problem with this pencil.

Last but not least is Relaxation.


So I ran out of eyes to sample on (: so instead I used the brown pencil on my lips (something I had never tried before) and it was not bad at all. It did not make my lips feel dry and it actually almost felt like a lipstick which I think is great. Just like the other two it is very pigmented and it goes on very easily and smooth. This color also has some shimmer to it which I think is nice.


There other thing that I like about these pencils is that they are very thick and durable. I have broken a pencil or two in my time (:

So all in all combined with the price (I got mine for $1.98 each) I'd say that these pencils are a really good sensible buy for someone who is in love with eyeliner like I am. Even for a person who wants to experiment with colors I would say that this is an excellent place to start.

Well guys that is it for this post (:

Review, Photos and Swatches: Burt's Bees Hibiscus Tinted Lip Balm

Hello Beauty lovers I have a new review for you guys and it is on my absolute favorite lip balm of all time!

Burt's Bees Hibiscus Tinted Lip Balm!!!


My lips are not very colored and I do not think that they are very pretty so I really like this lip balm because it does had some nice color to my lips. And it also looks very natural.

Another thing I like about this lip balm is that it has a nice consistency, it's thick but it is not so thick that you can't rub your lips together but it also stays on really well. I notice that I do not have to reapply as often as I do with other lip balms. Also it is really nourishing to my lips, I notice when I take it off my lips feel really soft. It's nice (:

Here are some swatches:



Look at that color! (: So Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm comes in 9 different shades, however Hibiscus is the only one that I have tried so far. I will probably do a review on a few more of the shades but that will be after I post my BeautyCon haul this weekend.

I definitely recommend this lip balm to anyone who wants to enhance or add some color to their natural lips. Also this brand is not too expensive mine was $7 and I got it on their website. This lip balm is 100% natural no harsh ingredients or anything like that AND it smells good! (:

SO you guys that is it for this review but leave a comment below if there is ANYTHING at all that you guys would like to see, any specific posts that you guys want let me know in a nice comment and I will make it happen

Be safe and I'll see you in my next post!
