REVIEW: Wet n' Wild H2O Proof Liquid Eyeliner

I'm review this product as a part of my WEEKLY REVIEW series. 

I'm always on the lookout for WATERPROOF eyeliners. My HOLY GRAIL waterproof eyeliner is the ESSENCE WATERPROOF LIQUID EYELINER(<- CLICK for the REVIEW)

BUT that doesn't mean I've STOPPED looking...it's always nice to have MORE THAN ONE holy grail products! I remember reading/watching review on the WET n' WILD H2O PROOF LIQUID EYELINER a long time ago...and decided to pick one up! They range from $5.96 CAD-$6.89CAD each.






The applicator is VERY POINTY

The applicator IS NOT FLEXIBLE 

The formula is VERY THICK

Takes a while to DRY

*It's hard to tell in the picture, but it actually has a GLOSSY finish**












I wore the eyeliner for about 6 hours, it DID LAST and was WATERPROOF (I washed my face with WATER) BUT THIS happened after an hour (do remember that I have OILY eyelids)



And it KEPT happening throughout the day. (I had to wipe the transfer about 3 TIMES)


** Please remember that I AM A BEGINNER at applying eyeliner/ I HAVE OILY eyelids and these are just MY EXPERIENCE with the product**

PROS:
  • The formula IS waterproof. If you don't have oily eyelids it MAY not transfer like it did on my eyelids.
CONS:
  • VERY POINTY TIP/NOT FLEXIBLE- the tip is SO POINTY and not flexible that it felt like I was POKING myself while I was applying this product

  • The formula of the product is REALLY THICK and DOES NOT apply smoothly NOR does it distribute the product evenly (I had to go over parts of my eyes several times to MATCH the darkness/thickness)
  • IF you have OILY eyelids, it will SMUDGE many times 
  • I could FEEL (almost a drying feeling) the product on my lids throughout the day
OVERALL:  There are MANY MANY products that I LOVE from Wet n' Wild, but this one IS NOT one that I would recommend.

I do realize that sometimes product formula is up to PERSONAL PREFERENCE...but I really felt UNCOMFORTABLE APPLYING the product. Even though it is somewhat inexpensive I would still say SKIP IT!

IF the product worked for you PLEASE comment below on how/why you like it!

REVIEW: KIRKLAND (COSTCO) PRE-MOISTENED TOWELETTES

http://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signature%E2%84%A2-Daily-Facial-Wipes-2-x-150ct-Cleansing-Towelettes.product.100043581.html





















I HAVE been LOOKING for MAKEUP REMOVER wipes that DO NOT leave a residue OR dry out my skin....when I stumbled onto these.

I have seen a few people on Youtube review them...but HERE is MINE!








WHERE TO PURCHASE: I found mine at my local COSTCO, KIRKLAND is COSTCO's own brand. They are around $12~$13 CAD. OR According to COSTCO US they are $37.99 USD (this includes SHIPPING and HANDLING- I could NOT find them on the COSTCO CANADA SITE)

The wipes comes in a box with a TOTAL of 300 WIPES. The TRAVEL SIZE contains 15 wipes, while the REGULAR SIZE contains 30.

PROS:


  • Good price. (300 wipes for $13CAD equals to about 4.3CENT a wipe)
  • Great SIZE- I have a big face...and these wipes covers my face!
  • VERY moistened 
  • VERY durable (they are quilted) but quit soft
  • You can use BOTH sides of the wipe
  • When using it to take off swatches, it will not dry up easily.

CONS:

  • I DO NOT consider my self to have a sensitive nose...but these wipes are VERY scented. It's NOT an entirely UNPLEASANT scent...but it DOES linger
  • I have NORMAL-COMBO skin during the winter months (Where my T-Zone will get oily through out the day) these wipes DRIED MY SKIN- to the point where I COULD SEE my skin flaking (I DID think of the possibility of not exfoliating- but I tried exfoliating regularly, moisturizing and it STILL DRIED my skin!)
  • Can ONLY be found at COSTCO

OVERALL: Keeping in mind I have NORMAL-COMBO skin AND I live in a REALLY cold town, I WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone who may be ALREADY experiencing dry skin. I also WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone with SENSITIVE skin, as I am quit sure the perfume in this product WILL IRRITATE your skin :(



I really wish I HAD READ more reviews before buying....I bought 2 boxes as they were on sale (I believe $3 off original price) So I'm stuck with 600 WIPES...I have been rinsing them out and using them...OR using them to wipe swatches off of my hands #_#


PLEASE COMMENT BELOW if you have any good makeup remover wipe SUGGESTIONS!
