Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner Review

I haven't been able to live without my Make Up For Ever waterproof eyeliner, but I recently wore it down to a little nub, so it was time to replace it.  Since times are tough, I'm not too keen on the $17 price tag.  So I searched the aisles at CVS to find a suitable, yet cheaper alternative.  I settled on Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner in black, because the packaging said it lasts 16 hours.  Well I don't know about that, since I didn't time it, but it does last a really  long time.  I drew a line on my hand first, let it set for about 30 seconds, then rubbed at it with my finger over and over again.  It didn't budge!  I actually had to scrub it with soap for about 2 minutes before it finally faded from my hand.  The next morning, I used it around my eyes and went to work.  It was still going strong when I got home at 7 pm, and it took a heavy duty makeup remover to get it off!  

The formula is really soft, and doesn't pull on your eyelids at all.  The packaging is great, because it twists up from the bottom and actually has a built in sharpener. This is a great buy if you're looking for an eyeliner that won't give you racoon eyes.

Beautiful Bronzer to Perk Up Pale Winter Skin- Under $10

Before today, my two favorite bronzers were Nars Laguna (if I felt like a little shimmer) or Benefit's Hoola.  Both ran me around $30.  Granted, they last a long time, but come on! 

My sister, who sells mark cosmetics (Avon's sister company) pushed me to try their Bronze Pro bronzer, and promised me I would love it. She also did me a favor and signed me up to be a mark rep...not that I'm going to sell it, but as a rep, you get 35-40% off all your purchases.  So I got this already cheap $10 bronzer for $7!  (Along with a bunch of other stuff I will be reviewing later!)

Anyway, back to Bronze Pro- I love it!  This is my second mark review (see my review on Make it Big Mascara) and they have yet to let me down!  I purchased it in the Bronze color, which gave my pale skin a sunny glow.  The compact design is great...the case flips open, has a mirror in the top lid, and a brush stored underneath the bronzer!  I expected the brush to be crap and was planning on using my Dior bronzer brush I've had forever, but the mark brush was super soft and it's flat 

design really spread the product well!  

The bronzer itself has no shimmer, but it's not a flat matte that leaves skin looking dirty either.  I am buying this from now on!  Besides Bronze, which is the medium color, it also comes in pro glow (which reviews on the site say is perfect for very fair skin to add a hint of golden shimmer) and Pro Golden which is great for darker skin tones.

If any of you out there would like a discount on mark, I highly recommend becoming a rep!  It costs $10, and you get free stuff to try when you sign up.  Even if you don't sell it, you'll get 35-40% off everything you buy!
