Review of Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Wet Cleansing Cloths

My Review is also on AC

Olay's wet cleansing cloths are basically my newest addiction. For years I had used standard makeup removal liquids to rid my face of makeup, oil, and dirt. As effective as they were, they were expensive, messy, and you had to buy your own cloths in order to pour the formula onto them and
use on your face.

Recently I came across a new makeup removal product that not only removes all traces of oil, dirt and makeup, but Olay's new wet cleansing cloths will also improve your skin over time.

With Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Wet Cleansing Cloths you get just that. A makeup removal, along with an infused formula with anti aging properties. The cloths will fight 7 signs of aging. They exfoliate the skin for a smoother look, and leave no residue behind.

The promises are all really wonderful, but in order to see how well they really worked, I had to put them to the test.

They come in a package of 30, and I use 2 a day. 1 when I wake up, and 1 to remove all of my makeup before bed.

My Use:

Olay's Total Effects Age Defying Wet Cleansing Clothsdo in fact clean off all traces of makeup, and they even did a wonderful job at removing my mascara and eyeliner without having to excessively rub my eye area.

After rubbing the cloth around my face till all of my makeup was gone, I noticed immediately that the cloth could have used a lot more wet formula. They tend to dry out very quickly while using them, so at times I am forced to use 2 cloths at once.

The scent it leaves behind is fresh, and non-chemical like, so that was nice, and my skin was left feeling very refreshed, clean, and smooth. I could tell the cloths did a great job at cleaning my face just by looking at my skin, and feeling my skin after the formula completely dried.

I've been using these cloths for about 2 weeks now, daily, and I haven't really noticed any difference in the fine lines around my eyes. The anti-aging promise was not really seen as far as results go.

I however love these cloths because they work a lot better than old wet formulas I've used to get makeup off of my face completely.

Overall I recommend them because they work, and they work well. They could have been tweaked with a little more formula, but all in all they get the job done and are a lot cheaper and more effective than many other makeup removal products.

Best Eyeliner? You Bet! L'Oreal Infallible, Never Fail Eyeliner

I absolutely adore wearing eyeliner. I cannot step out of the house without having my lids classically lined in the black stuff. One thing though that I don't like about most eyeliners is that they smear, smudge, and by the end of the day I find I have to touch up my eyeliner, otherwise it will just melt all over the place, creating the dreaded raccoon eye.

When I came across L'Oreal Infallible, Never Fail Eyeliner I was skeptical. Many eyeliner pens promised the same thing, to last, not smudge, not smear; then by the clock hits noon, the eyeliner is smudged, especially in the corners of my eyes, and outer lids.

The eyeliner stick works like any other, except it has 2 little secrets that most eyeliner twist up pens do not have. First it comes with an eraser built in to the pen. You can use it to fix up any errors you make while applying it.

The best secret about the Infallible Eyeliner though is that it has a built in sharpener. As you twist the eyeliner up out of the application tube, it will sharpen the liner into a nice point for more precise application to the eyelid! This is a little something, something that I find to be so simple, yet so fantastic. The eyeliner sharpener is hidden underneath the eraser. You simply pull it out and place it on top of the eyeliner, next twist up the eyeliner, and it will sharpen it for you.

So the pen is neat, the pen has secrets, the pen is gnarly. I bet you are wondering how the actual eyeliner works. I bet you're thinking so much effort went into the tube design, that the eyeliner itself sucks.

Think again!

L'Oreal Infallible Never Fail Eyeliner promises 16 hours of smudge free wear, and 16 hours is what you get.

The eyeliner goes on smoothly like butter making it easy to apply it in a single stroke with little to no effort. The sharpened tip will allow you to make cat eye designs with ease, and the smudge free formula keeps the eyeliner where you put the eyeliner. It will not bleed into your upper eyelids, nor will it smudge or streak near the inner more wet part of the eyelid.

L'Oreal Infallible, Never Fail Eyeliner has won me over, and I will have no reason to ever switch brands. I have never in my life found a more perfect eyeliner than this one.

Where To Buy:

I picked this one up on a whim at my local Target for nearly $10.00. I will say that it was $10.00 well spent, and I am a forever customer of the liner.

The Best Eye Shadows Are Also The Cheapest! Pearl Ex!!!

The Best, and Lowest Priced Pigments Can Be Used as Eye Shadow
Gone are the days when women had to spent $15 on single eyeshadow colors. Gone are the days when buying a set of pigment eye shadows would cost close to $80, gone are those days.

Many years ago I discovered a little something that I never shared with anyone else. My cousin and I used to steal pigment powders from the art classroom, and use them as eye shadows. These pigment shadows not only lasted forever, but they looked absolutely stunning on the eye lid.

They had a shimmer of 2 tones, and such a small amount went so far. These powders were perfect.

I have had my small 3gram pink/purple pigment powder jar for nearly 4 years, till I began to run slightly low. I decided to seek out pigment powders again. Pigment powders are usually used for arts and crafts, but a creative soul knows that there are many uses for these spectacular powders.

I came across a set of 12 colors made by Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments. I picked up the Series 2 Set, because it had 12 colors that I was primarily attracted to. Their however are many, many other colors that you can pick from. You can buy them alone, or buy them in large sets.

I was going to buy the largest kit they had, but seeing that I had never used Pear Ex Powdered Pigments, I wanted a sampler first.

In the series 2 set there is a lovely 3gr jar of Aztec Gold, which is a beautiful, beautiful golden shimmer pigment. On the eyes it looks like gold metal, and is gorgeous. Mixing it up with other colors in the series 2 set allows for some really unique looks for your eyes.

Next is Sparkling Copper is a burnt orange shimmer with a thicker glittery consistency to it. However the glitter will actually stick to your eyelids, and stay in place. It makes for a beautiful topping to your eyeshadow, as the color itself will not drown out the colors beneath it.

Antique Copper resembles Aztec Gold, but it has a much more burnt orange iron color to it. The shimmer is gorgeous, and pairs wonderfully with Sparkling Copper.

Antique Silver is simply beautiful, and reminds me of pixie dust. It has a very beautiful crushed diamonds shimmer to it, and the color looks fantastic on the upper brow to highlight the eyelid.

Duo-Green/Yellow is a mixture of 2 different pigments, so when you move your eyelid will look alive. It is a spectacular color that fades into green and into a shimmery yellow gold.

Bright Yellow is one of my least favorite colors in the series 2 set. It is a more white powdery pastel yellow, that lacks the same shimmering metallic effect that the other colors have.

Flamingo Pink is another one of my top favorites, with a very girly hot pink color to it, but with a very nice shimmering light pink undertone. This one can be blended with Misty Lavender for a gorgeous effect on the eye.

Spring Green is another color that I completely have fallen in love with. It has a very light bright green color, mixed with such a high gloss shimmer that the effect is like the wings of a firefly. A rainbow like waterfall of green spring time shimmer, and it is beautiful.

Turquoise is equally as beautiful. It has a much deeper blue hue to it than the Spring Green color does. Turquoise though seems more like a duo of green and blue shimmer, and it is fantastic looking.

True Blue is a little like Bright Yellow. Its a nice color, yes...but it lacks the high shimmer that the rest of the colors have. True Blue though shines on like a bright star when it is paired with Antique Silver.

Misty Lavender is a color that you could likely use on the eye everyday. It has a very light purple sheen to it, that is not too dark nor overpowering in shimmer.

Blue Russet is a color that will shock you with how beautiful it is. It is like a mixture of a beautiful bold blue mixed with purple. Really an excellent color for creating a stormy smoky eye.

The Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments are used for many other things besides just eyeshadow. Painters use them to mix colors, and they are used in arts and crafts. They are pretty universal in what you can do with them, and why so little people know nothing about them is sad.

The set of 12 came to only $18.89 on Amazon, and it was worth every cent. Normally 1 pigment eyeshadow tube would run $15.99. With this set you get 12 gorgeous, gorgeous colors that blend like silk, and stay put all day long. They are non-toxic, and I cannot recommend them more, especially to women looking for a cheap, yet very high quality product to use as makeup.
