CherryReview: Josie Maran Bare Naked Wipes

First of all...Merry Christmas to everyone!!  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones :)  Now onto the review...

I bought these nail removal pads from Sephora while waiting to pay one time. They set me back $11 CAD for 20 wipes...not bad I guess although I could have scored the nail and facial wipes for $12 during the Black Friday sale. Oh well!

That one pad was able to take off pretty much 95% of the red nail polish I had.  The dork I am, I forgot to take a photo of the state of my nails.  I had on Essie's Headmistress, which is a medium-dark red (base-one coat-top coat and touch ups).  It was pretty chipped on my index fingers and three fingers on my right hand.

CherryReview: Lipbalms

I love lip balms - it is an essential in my purse and I cannot live without it.  Especially after my trip to Punta Cana - I think I got a sun burn on my lips which caused me to have massive peeling for almost a whole month...and nothing was working (the worst was that anything with salt dried my lips, they were peeling AND constantly feeling dry...exfoliating it helped at first but then it would be dry and peeling again) until the pharmacist recommended Blistex Complete Moisure.  I'll be discussing it further in this review :)

Right now I have a lip balm in every purse since I have a bad tendency to change purses and forget to put the lip balm in there.  I have my lipstick but I always make sure to put lip balm first.  Plus, kissing the fiance saans lip balm just doesn't seem nice at all...




My little stash (currently): Blistex Complete Moisture, Sugar Lip Treatment (from the Sephora birthday gift), Nivea Milk & Honey, Nivea Sun, Blistex Fruit Smoothies (Berry Explosion - it comes in a pack of three with two others - Tropical Fruit (orange) and Melon (green)), Blistex medicated

CherryReview: Eyeko Skinny Liner and Skinny Brush mascara

Sephora had the Eyeko liquid eyeliner and mascara set (minis) available for $19 near the cashier, so I decided to buy it on a whim because I never really use liquid eyeliner and wanted to try it out.  Hence this crappy looking lines in the photos you are about to witness (*nervous laugh*)

FYI: Even after trying to use this for a month, I still can't get a good line out of it.  I blame my shaky hands...for some reason I'm better with gel liner.  Oh well...I guess it depends on the day too.

Anyways, the Eyeko liner is supposed to have a glossy finish, which is nice since it's different from the look that you get from other liquid liners and from gel or pencil liners.  It's definitely a good black liner - I had bought one from SaSa in Hong Kong once by Cybercolour and it was...subpar.  The black was a very liquid black - not an opaque black.
