liquid liner experiment.. plus pic whoring speal

:) WHAD UPPPPPPP?

First.. I'll share with you my little experiment and then I'll share with you pics of me, my tired face and my new hair color! YIP YIP WOO! 

First off.. I have in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM found an HG liquid liner, in fact, I think all liquid liners I've encountered are utter and complete CRAP! I've just used the Prestige Automatic sharpening waterproof pencil in black, and I use a Q-tip to make the line sharper and give it that nice shape, which can be a bitch to do. I have gel liners too but I hate cleaning the brushes that I have to use for them. ANYWHOS.. I was killing time because I took my bf to do his assessment tests at Mt. "ball"Sac.. it was to be from 2 PM to 6 PM.. holy shnizzles! What's a girl to do? Well.. it so happens that about 4 days ago.. I lost/misplaced my credit card.. and since no charges have been made to it at ALL.. I decided to use the time to retrace my steps and ask around. I did find it later though.. but that's a different and embarrassing story.  ANYWAYS.. I went to target to pick up a surprise reward/gift for my bf.. SWEET AND HOT BEEF JERKY! He loves it and I know he wouldn't expect to see me holding it out to him when he comes out of the testing room! :) Buuuut.. that's not all I picked up.. I picked up some munchies for me to snack on while waiting for him and wandered to the cosmetic section. 

I figured.. why not give liquid liner another try? So I picked up two without thinking much about it, Maybelline Ultra Liner Waterproof and Wet N Wild H2O Proof Liquid Liner, both in black. 

This isn't a review but more like.. a comparison of staying power yadig? 

Ok, from left to right it's..

K-Palette Real Lasting Liner


Lancome ArtLiner in Black


Maybelline Ultra Liner Waterproof


Wet N Wild H2O Proof

I made two rows, top is to test their water staying power, the bottom to test their smudge resistance power.. now to show you how dark they are, how thick/thin the brushes will let you line..

Ok.. now smudge time. I basically used my finger and rubbed, not too hard but hard enough.

Now I turned on the faucet using both cold water first, then hot water (pretend it's tears), then dabbed it with a towel lightly and rubbed VERY lightly, pretending your eyes are blinking a lot.

Then I wiped them off with diff makeup removers to see just how powerful they are.

With Green Mandom on the bottom row with VICIOUS scrubbing..

With Mac Makeup Removing Wipes with vicious scrubbing..

Then I took off the rest with.. I forgot what it was, junk my mom had.

I think the results speak for themselves. I'll do a review on the H2O and the Ultra Liner later, let's juse say one sucks because it's a pain and the other sucks because I hate the brush!

Ok, me time.

Only pic of me with teeth that doesn't look pained!! wth!!

What I think of my father.. who won't let his almost 21 year old daughter go out past 11 PM.

MAH GRILLS!!!! ooo.. my brows look good.

See? Pained look!!
*taken out* I look gross

Excuse the tired eyes

My hair from my part area

The bang part, I LOVE chunky layers, can you tell?

My attempt to be sexy turned into a drunken bum with no neck!

.. I was bored. I have no shame. No shame I say.

Babe makes fun of pics like these.. he's always.. "WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING? WHAT'S OVER THERE?" fucker. LOL!

Ok, so why the grey contacts? Well.. I only have one pair of clear contacts left that I'm saving for New Years in case anything should happen to them and I would've ordered  new ones but I LOST MY CREDIT CARD REMEMBER? Do you know how long it takes to get contacts? Especially when it's the holiday season? DAMN! It's ok.. at least the grey isn't too out there. My sis saw me with my new hair and my contacts today and said I didn't look full asian.. she said I looked mixed. Then my hairstylist called me korean.. along with many others. 

:( I'm a confused nationality.

LOTS OF LOVE! 

I'm off to buy more liquid liners tomorrow. OH I did a small cherry cultures haul, we'll see how it goes. Used the code for 20% off everything anyways! :D

ps- obviously Lancome liner failed miserably at both tests

pps- Wet and Wild failed too because it was TOO lasting. You have to pull at your skin and rub it till it's red to get it off. UGH!! DON'T BUY IT

ah um.. yes. i got the wet n' wild one and that's what turned me off of eyeliner.. it was such a freakin pain in the ASS to take off if i messed up!! OR smudged :( safe to say.. that thing never went ANYwhere.

You do look mixed! I think it's your eye shape. It doesn't look typical of a Chinese gal.

I get mistaken for Korean all the time. The Koreans even assume I'm Korean haha.

Your skin looks flawless!!!! And I know you know, but your eyebrows do look great!

I want to find that K-Palette liner! I just bought the Loreal Liner Intense liner (felt tip) and it's okay so far. I haven't really worn it fore more than 3-4 hours though.
