 What is better, BADgal Liner Waterproof or BADgal pencil from benefit products?

Both from Benefit beauty products,
"BADgal Liner waterproof"
OR
"BADgal pencil"

I'm looking too buy one and i'm wondering – which one is better?
The Waterproof Liner is obviously a plus because it's waterproof and comes with a blending brush so again that's a bonus but,
the pencil apperantly seems to acheive a gorgeous smoky line.

If anyone has either of these products/heard of them/ or whatever please give me your opinion+why?

thanks x

i had the pencil and it worked ok it smudged a little i prefer mac it lasts longer. but bad girl did go on smooth.

1280210526 72 Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Circular Fisheye Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

Review by Steve Mokris for Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Circular Fisheye Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasRating: Combined with Nodal Ninja rotating tripod heads, I’m using this lens to produce equirectangular 360deg x 180deg panoramas. six shots in 60deg increments work perfectly when stitched with Hugin or AutoPano.

Limited depth of field is a problem — I find that typically I have to operate the lens at f/11 or f/16 to get decent full-frame-in-focus results, which necessitates shutter times of > 0.5s indoors, so it’s only really useful for static scenes.

Finally, a brush line with actual names rather than numbers tells you which brush to use for what/where! whether you are a make-up novice or junkie, there is a Good Karma Brush to suit any and every beauty need. Scoop up each one, and feel good any time you make a withdrawal from your karma account.

1280037721 77 Solo Lisa: Product Review: Stila Long Wear Lip Colour

This year I’ve gone from being a devoted gloss girl to a lipstick lady. Lipstick delivers a bold surge of colour, typically lasts longer than gloss (which can rub off within 1-2 hours of application), and usually looks more polished. Plus its packaging is more sophisticated, making the experience of applying it more fun: the click of a cap being removed, twisting the tube of colour up, smoothing it on your lips with a precise hand and blotting a kiss onto a tissue. No wonder Chanel Makeup’s global creative director, Peter Philips, cited re-introducing this feminine ritual to a generation of lip gloss girls as one of the reasons for Chanel’s new Rouge Coco lipstick line.

Looking to expand my lipstick collection with a new shade, I picked up Stila Long Wear Lip Colour ($25 Cdn at BeautyMark) in ‘Intriguing’, a matte magenta hue. Unlike your typical lipstick, Stila’s product is more like a twist-up lip crayon that never needs sharpening. this product boasts patent-pending polymers and promises to feel as moisturizing as a gloss while delivering the colour and long wear of a matte lipstick. But does it deliver?

Pros:

  • The colour is bright and vivid and really does last a long time. one application endured for 6-8 hours without fading. I also noticed that there was very little colour transfer when I drank out of glasses.
  • The crayon-like design let me apply the lip colour precisely without a lip brush.
  • The size of the tube makes it easy to tote in small handbags for evening.

Cons:

  • The long skinny shape of the lip colour means it breaks more easily than regular lipsticks. the fuchsia lip colour broke somewhere in the middle of the tube and has trouble retracting fully now.
  • I didn’t think it was as moisturizing as it claimed to be. Matte lipstick formulas tend to be a bit drying, and this one definitely was compared to the creamier Chanel lipstick formulas that I’ve tried. To make it feel good on my lips, I had to dab on Burt’s Bees pomegranate oil lip balm before putting on the Stila lip colour. As the day wore on, I’d apply more lip balm on top of the lip colour at intervals.

So is Stila Long Wear Lip Colour a worthwhile buy? Kind of. While I like how long-lasting the formula is, I don’t like how easily the lipstick snapped and how drying it feels. I’ll keep it, but I think I’ll stick to creamier, more traditional lipsticks in the future.

I want to look my age

1279605739 32 I want to look my age

Tuesday, July 6, 2010Last updated 10:52 a.m. PT

Step one: 1 English Rose SkinI assume we’ll dive right in with heavy eyeliner, electric palettes, and false lashes to strong-arm my features into more mature-looking versions of themselves. instead, Kidd kicks off my re-education with … skin care? “If you want to look older, everything needs to be just a little more immaculate,” she says, smoothing on a tinted moisturizer, then tapping foundation onto problem areas around my eyes and nose. Next, she dusts shimmerless bronzer and peach powder onto cheekbones to “keep it fresh and dewy.” I’d always associated “dewy” with “young,” but this glow adds a level of polish I’d never bothered to attain before.

Step Two: Subtle Smoky Eyes for DayI don’t trust my baby browns to act their age unless large quantities of kohl are involved, so when Kidd strips me of my go-to black eyeliner, I smile, nod, and make a mental note to apply more later. But as she opens up my deep-set eyes with a layer of camel-colored shadow and a pencil-thin swipe of white shimmer just under the arches, I start to tune back in.

Step Three: Amped up for Night“When you’re younger, you can get away with funky colors and harder lines, but now you should be working with neutral tones,” explains Kidd. she adds evening-worthy drama to my simple day look by blending a deeper brown shadow around the outer third of my creases and along the outside corners of my upper and lower lash lines. and I notice she’s sporting similar smoke herself

*********** asked:

I have dry skin. I moisturize before I put on foundation. I ordered bare minerals foundation because I want that “flawless” look people claim it gives. Do I need the mineral veil to achieve that? Also, bare minerals foundation healthy for skin? does it clog up pores?
