mark The Big Fix 15-in-1 Benefits Balm

mark The Big Fix 15-in-1 Benefits Balm ($10)
Made with Fair Trade Certified™ ingredients cocoa butter, olive oil and vanilla, and blended with sunflower oil and beeswax. This is a large greenish stick balm that moisturizes everywhere: cuticles, lips, feet, neck! I recently developed a strange itchy rash on my neck that proceeded to spread around and get worse for a couple days. I moisturized and used calamine lotion to soothe. It was still a bit itchy and red. Then I rubbed this all over and it has completely disappeared! It's a staple in my purse now because it feels so soothing and cool on wind burned skin. The moisture is just right, a balm that is light as air. The smell might bother you. I can't describe it... maybe kind of olive oily. But I've gotten used to it.

Covergirl Liquiline Blast Eyeliner

I'd been waiting for a sale to buy the Covergirl Liquilast Eyeliner ($8.49), but it never happened. So I used a 20% discount for CVS. The new eyeliner boasts the staying power of a liquid liner with the ease and blendability of a pencil. I got it in brown blaze, a deep chestnut brown. While it didn't stay on through the entire day, it did give me 3-4 hours of wear, which is 2-3 hours generally longer than any other pencil liner, including Urban Decay's 24/7 Liners. If you don't have Asian eyes, this could be your HG liner. The only reason it really doesn't work on me is because I have a crease where my lash line is. No crease in the middle, I have monolids. It does last on the lower lash line well if you layer it on. The formula is smooth as silk and you can easily create a line with a hard edge or with a soft, smoky line. I'm looking to try L'Oreal's Extra Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner and the new one by MARK.
