I tried some new products lately. First one is the Anastasia Brow Wiz. I've been using the brow duo powder for a long time and decided to give this a shot, and I really like it - the triangle shape is genius. It's a lot less effort than regular brown pencils, with more natural results.
I also tried Eyelure magnetic lashes. I've been on the fence about magnetic lashes for awhile since they have so many bad reviews, but figured I can just use them normally with glue if they don't work. I struggled for about a half an hour with them and still haven't figured them out. My initial impression is they are just not going to work, maybe because of the shape of my eye. My one "successful" attempt looked ok, but the base of the lash was too straight for my lash line. I've had this problem before with false lashes with too stiff of a base. It's too bad because I really want to wear to wear fake lashes more often.
Another mostly negative review for Kaja Cheeky Stamp blush. I knew this product was a gimmick, but I wanted to try a new liquid/cream blush and I thought it had promise, especially since I liked the color. But it's not a great liquid blush, and the heart stamp gimmick doesn't actually work well either. So, pass. I'm always looking for good liquid or cream type blushes if anyone has any recs.
Couple of questions. Has anyone tried a fake freckles product like Freck? Or any other method of fake freckles? I tried just using some brown eyeliner, and it's ok but the Freck product looks better.
Does anyone have any recs for super dry chapped lips? I've tried all the usual suspects like carmax, vaseline, Jack Black Intense Therapy, lip oil, burt's bees, Okeefe's overnight lip repair, and different glosses like Dior glow balm and lip maximizer, Buxom, Too Faced, Julep moisturizing gloss. Every single time it seems like a new product works great for a couple of days and then my lips become super chapped and peeling again. Maybe this should go in skincare, but has anyone else had this problem and ever found anything that works? I feel like I'm just throwing money away and not solving anything.
