Makeup Review, Before/After Photos, Swatches: Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner, Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner – New Turquoise, Periwinkle Shades

Having reviewed Stila’s Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Snow last year, I started using the same eyeliner in Carbon Black, too — as it made a precise line very easily and never smudged nor feathered and was also long-wearing. I could go thick or thin, and I loved the felt tip’s cool touch when applying the color on my upper lash line.

This year, everyone went mad-crazy over both the Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner and Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner ($20.00) in Turquoise, making it very …

Review, Before/After Photos: Prime Time Smile Active Blue Teeth Whitening Kit – Whitens Teeth In 20 Minutes

First things first: I love using the Glo Brilliant Personal Teeth Whitening Device, yet, it was given to me and costs nearly $200.00 at Sephora – and I buy my refills for $45.00 when needed.

It works. It’s won awards and is incredibly efficient. With that being said, I agreed to sample the Prime Time Smile Active Blue Teeth Whitening Kit ($44.00) because it was more affordable and was said to whiten teeth in less than 30-minutes!

It’s an easy enough product to use. You first apply the whitening gel via a pen …
