Neutrogena MoistureSmooth color stick

Today I am reviewing Neutrogena MoistureSmooth color stick, which is basically a very moisturizing lip tint. 
I am a huge fan of Neutrogena's products. Their packaging is always so sleek and modern looking. Also their product selections are very simple and easy to choose from.
This product is about $7-8 USD.
The chubby sticks (What I like to call the lip tints above) comes in 8 shades. The one I'm reviewing today is Fresh Papaya number 20. It's a nice pink coral color. The color has a nice sparkle sheen to it, though its very subtle. The color glides on smoothly and is very moisturizing. 

I've used mine for a couple months. This is how much I've used so far. 

I rolled out all the lip tint to see how much there was left and was disappointed with what I saw. 


I thought the whole tube was filled with the lip tint but realized that only about half of the tube was filled with the product. Meaning you're paying for a lot less product than you thought. 

I did a swatch on my hand to show you guys how pigmented the color is. 



On the left side I only ran the lip tint once. You can see with just one swipe its very pigmented. On the right side I ran it over a couple of times. Basically all you need is one quick swipe and you're good to go! :) 

Here's a picture of my lips without the lip tint. 

And here's a picture of my lips with the lip tint. 



It adds great moisture to my dry lips and pigmentation that I really need. 

Moisture: 5/5

The moisture lasts for a very longtime. You only have to reapply it every hour or so. 

Packaging: 4/5

I love how simple it kiss. It looks like a really cute chubby pencil. It's easy to apply and there's no need to sharpen because you just have to twist it. I gave it a 4 because the cap falls off really easily and cracks easily.  

Pigmentation: 5/5

I love the color. It isn't too bright. It gives my lips just color they need. Also it has a tiny bit of sparkles to give them a cute sheen. 

Overall: 4.5/5 
I will definitely repurchase this again and am looking forward to try out the other colors. 

Pros: 
-great colors with a moderate range
-moisturizing 
-easy to use
-unscented

Cons:
-the cap falls off easily
-the cap breaks easily
-not as much product as you would expect

Cute strawberry nails~

Today I decided to do a nail art tutorial 

Aren't they cute? 
Anyways they would have been neater if I didn't clip my nails so short. 

Here's the list if materials:
-pink nail polish 

I mixed these two colors because I didn't have the right pink. 

-green nail polish 

-white nail art pen

-nail clippers (optional)

-buffer (optional)

-nail polish remover (optional)

Q-tips 

-finally clear nail polish for the top coat

First step:

Remove any old nail polish 

Next trim your nails and buff them. Since I didn't have a buffer I skipped that step. 

Next paint your nails with the pink color 

Let this dry completely. Next add the leaf of the strawberry! 







I had to do a couple of layers to have the green opaque. 

Afterwards take your white nail art pen and create white seeds on the pink part of your nails. 


Add a top coat and your done!!


Now you can match this cute nail art with your favorite outfit 





Physician Formula Felt Tip Eyeliner

Hello my sweet stars~!
Today I'm doing a review on Physicians Formula Felt Tip Eyeliner. The packaging said it was smudge proof and water proof. 


The lettering is a little bit worn away since I've been using it for a while. 
The writing says: "Eye Definer Felt-Tip Eye Marker"


This side says: "Ultra Black physicians formula inc." and then it has the state and zip code of where it was made. 


The tip isn't as thin as I would hope but it still can make a tiny line. 

The color is very light and took a couple of swipes to make it dark. Overall the color isn't even. There's spots where the color is translucent and others where it's opaque. 


This was the result of rubbing it for a couple if seconds. As you can see it doesn't live up to its claims. 


This is the result of rubbing it with a couple of drops of water. 


And finally this is what happens after it gets wet and then wiped. 

When I wore this, at the end of the day I would have giant raccoon circles. 

Packaging: 3.5/5 


The packaging is modern and sleek. Very practical. The reason why I didn't give it a 5 was because there's nothing very attractive about it. 


Color: 2/5 
It took a couple of tries to make it show up dark. It wasn't super horrible but definitely not the best. 


Price: 1/5
The price was totally not worth it. I think this was around $8-$9 dollars. For the results I got, I think this should have been a dollar. 


Overall: 2/5

It worked better the first couple of times I used it. Overall though, this is one of the worst eyeliners I've used. 


Thank you for reading my post. I'm hoping to post more reviews and tutorials  in the future :)
