MAKEUP REVIEW
Cover Girl Line Exact Liquid Eyeliner
$5-10

I have always been VERY skeptical of liquid eyeliners. Myself, I could never seem to steady my hand enough to not mess it up.... So I went out on a limb and tried this stuff 'cause I love those cat eyes that I see people do so well.

LOVE:
+ It is actually really easy to do those cat eyes!
+ Great for not so steady hands.
+ Lasts a long time. Waterproof.
+ Also good for just normal eyeliner definition.
+ Gives a really solid black line.
+ Very precise point on cat eye because of the shape/stiffness of the tip.

HATE:
- It starts to run out of "ink" fairly quickly. I used it on a daily basis for about 2-3 weeks and then it wouldn't give me the solid black.
- Dries out after a while.
- Vigorous shaking and sometimes water is needed to make it work again after it starts drying out.
- Kind of expensive for the amount of wear you get out of it.


I really loved the effect, and it was super easy to put on for my 8am class when I was still sleepy, and when it was solid black and not drying out, it was great... But, all in all... it might be good for learning kind of how to use liquid eyeliner if you tend to get really frustrated like me... But, honestly, it seems to costly to me to keep on buying.... Unless your rich and NOT a college student... then fine!

MOOD: TIRED
Some College Conclusions:
+ It's not really about me and what I want. It's about getting a stupid piece of paper saying I have enough patience and enough debt to last me the rest of my life.
+ I can't expect to go to college to learn what I want to learn. I have to go there, take bullshit classes and learn what I want to by myself, in addition to "getting involved" in school, getting really good grades, getting internships, and "growing"....
+ It completely sucks all creativity and drive out of you unless you love what you are doing. And often if you love doing something... You can't find a program that either exists, or is affordable, or is feasible to get in to.
+ The college SYSTEM here... at least where I am... doesn't make ANY sense.
