Sorry I haven't updated in awhile! I was pretty busy last week, as well as, having blogger issues. I'm still having blogger issues. I'm wondering if any readers out there can help me out... hehe~ I have two issues.

1. The first issue is when I follow someone, there isn't any profile picture which I have on the top left corner. It was there before but not anymore *sigh*. My profile name should also be Ahleessa but it disappeared and now it's aly4realz *sigh*. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?... hehe~

2. It is comment-wise. Whenever I go to my dashboard, it tells me I have certain amount of comments. When I click on it, I have way more. Anyone out there can help me PLEASE? :D Sometimes it tells me I have none when I do have comments. :/

Anyways, I'm going to review the Maybelline EyeStudio Gel Eyeliner. I bought this when I bought one of the EyeStudio palettes (click here to see the post)... hehe~ I think it's time to review this product. ;)

Product Review: Maybelline Lasting Drama by EyeStudio Gel Eyeliner in #950 Blackest Black

Where can you purchase this: any drugstore

Price: $9 something (I got it for cheaper when they had the 40% off and used coupon)

Made in U.S.A.

Direction on the back:

1. DIP tip of brush into gel formula and wipe off excess on rim of jar.

2. GLIDE brush in small strokes across lash line.

3. CONTINUE to build line, until desired intensity is achieved. "After each use, wipe brush clean with dry tissue and close cap tightly.

* Ophthalmologist test, Safe for sensitive eyes, Contact lens safe.

My thoughts: I needed a new cream/gel eyeliner since my L'oreal HIP cream eyeliner dried out (thankfully, I got to use half of it)... hehe~ I read reviews that the Maybelline EyeStudio Gel Eyeliner is the #1 eyeliner in Japan. I don't know if this is true or not, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. Another reason why this won me over from the reviews is that the brush is pretty good quality. If this doesn't last me, at least I will have a good brush... hehe~ :D My first initial reaction is how tiny the container is (.106 oz) and this must be smaller than the MAC Fluidline. I looked online to find out they're actually the same size... hehe~ Another thing that popped in my head is how similar it seems to MAC Fluidline. Unfortunately, I never own a MAC Fluidline but I got to use that this past weekend when I did a makeover for my friend who needed to attend a wedding. All I could say is this eyeliner is so much like the MAC Fluidline. I think the MAC Fluidline is a little bit creamier but by not much... hehe~ I'm loving this product, as well as the brush at the moment... wheee~ :)

Pros:
* It's from Maybelline.

* Come with great quality eyeliner brush.

* It's creamy.

* Great staying power after it dries.

* It doesn't look shiny, but matte on the eyes.

* Similarities to MAC Fluidline.

Cons:
* It's from Maybelline.

* It's only .106 oz.

* Doesn't come in versatile colors (only comes in 4).

* Takes awhile for it to dry.

Would I buy this again? Yes.

Here's how it looks open. You can see the brush. I like the brush a lot!... hehe~ :)

Here's how the eyeliner looks on my hand.

I waited 5 minutes to let the eyeliner dry. Then I smudged it with my fingers. I think it's pretty decent since I tried to smudge it like crazy... lol~ :D

Of course, I have to show how it looks on my eyes... hehe~ I've been watching Hyun Ah's music video "Changed".

Her thick eyeliner look inspired me to do an inspired look of hers. I'm warning you it's not as good as hers... hehe~

Here's my version of the thick eyeliner look. I am wearing colored contacts, as well as, falsies since she wears those for the video.

Here's how my eyes look semi-closed. I think I did an okay job... hehe~ :X

When I renewed my Sally's Beauty membership in January (click here to read my post), they gave me an extra $5 gift certificate to use in March through e-mail. I didn't know what to get so I ended up getting two China Glaze nail polishes. I couldn't refuse their new collection from Up & Away... hehe~

I got Four Leaf Clover.

I also got Peachy Keen. I can't wait to wear these during the spring. I know it's already spring but it feels like winter to me still... lol~ :X

I mentioned that I was busy last week. My friend had her son's first birthday (dol) this past weekend. Knowing me, I decided to make her son something last minute... lol~ Here's what I made.

It's a monkey. I think it came out cute... hehe~ :) I actually want one for myself... lol~

I'm going to end this post with Tobey.

He fell asleep with his toy rabbit. I thought it was cute!... lol~ :)
