With makeup, I usually find a brand or product I love and stick with it. I tend to use bareMinerals and Lancome waterproof mascara (which you will definitely see me complementing again in the near future). So it was pretty unusual for me when I was in Walgreens about two months ago and decided to spontaneously buy some ALMAY products. This is probably going to sound dumb, but the real reason I decided to buy the products was because Kate Hudson was in the advertisements and it was saying something like: "get Kate's look from the movie Something Borrowed". As you read in my earlier post OhSoCollege Must Haves! (if you haven't read it, click on the name of the post. It's a link!), I love Emily Giffin's book Something Borrowed, so I just felt this very very strong need to buy some of the products to, well.."get her look".
What did I buy? Three items:
1. Liquid eyeliner pen
2. One coat get up & grow waterproof mascara
3. Oil-free makeup eraser sticks
So maybe my reason for purchasing these products wasn't why most people would buy makeup...but who cares about the reason. All I know is that I made the right choice, which was to buy and use these items!!
Okay, so when I first used this item I wasn't sure what I thought. I kinda messed up the first time and didn't feel like trying again, so I used my usual bareMinerals eyeliner instead. A couple weeks later I decided that I didn't give it enough of a chance, so I tried it again and this time I loved it! I was so excited because I wanted to have different eyeliner options. It is just like using a marker. I used it on my eyelids and it goes right on. You decide how thick or thin you want the line to be. And don't be afraid to mix it up! :)
I am a big Lancome waterproof mascara supporter, but that day when I was at Walgreens I remembered that I had run out of my favorite mascara. So I decided to try something new (I still use my lancome mascara, but now I switch it up). I was worried that this waterproof mascara might not actually be waterproof. Don't worry, it is!! Also I was worried that it would clump. Again, Don't worry, it doesn't! I love it and it is a great quality for a very affordable price. Plus it is easy to get your hands on, since it is sold in drug stores.
Oh My Gosh!!! I Oh So Absolutely Adore this product!!! That may sound crazy to you from only looking at the picture of q-tip looking objects, but don't make up your mind just yet! These eraser sticks are miracle workers. I got this quote from the ALMAY website so that you will perfectly understand what they are: "perfect for effortlessly erasing mistakes during application without disturbing the rest of your makeup. these easy to use soft cotton tip swabs are individually filled with the best selling ALMAY oil free eye makeup remover formula". Isn't this just amazing?? Or should I say ALMAYzing?!? So if you are applying your eyeliner and you make a mistake, all you have to do is break the end with the purple line. That causes the makeup remover to go to the other end and soak into the cotton, making it extremely easy for you to erase even the smallest mistakes. You have to try this and let me know what you think!! I am serious :)
So...I believe I have revealed to you why I, Allison, may just be in love with ALMAY. I hope you are or soon will be too!
