  • What's the best high end and drug store eye liner for you since you kinda have watery eyes? I have that same condition too. Some people suggest me to use gel liner, but I feel that it may be too harsh for my eyes. I put minimal makeup on, I really try to keep it as natural as possible.

  • @Enchanteralle For high end I use the Armani liners every single day and for Drugstore I love the Annabelle Smoothliners. Although I'm not sure if it's available in the US as it's a Canadian company but Prestige Total Intensity and Milani Liquifeye liners are both really fantastic!

  • just bought the lemon flavor at Walgreen in US. $2

  • @karimenlee I was lucky enough to have a friend send me a lemon one but unfortunately after using it for a few months it actually started to really dry out my lips ;-((

  • try the Revlon colorstay eyeliners they do last on the waterline the best out of all drugstore!

  • @BettysfavoriteSong I've already tried them and they don't stay on me at all ;-(.....thanks for trying though! ;-)))

  • how can any1 have questions after watchin kokolaroo vids... she's SO thorough, lol. Love her!

  • @sarah10018 Lol....aww thank-you ;-)

  • @sarah10018 I just wanted to let you know that I deleted your other comment...just to protect my privacy. I hope you understand ;-))

  • Have you tried Milani Liquif'eye?

  • @LeCheapSunglasses Yes, I have the blk and brwn. They've been mentioned in previous videos ;-)

  • They sell EOS at London Drugs in Canada! They even sell the EOS hand lotions! But they get sold out really fast! They sell Sweet mint and Honeysuckle Honeydew and Summer Fruits!

  • @Hwangers24 Perhaps where you are but unfortunately they don't sell it in this province, but thanks for posting! ;-D

  • I'm not sure if you can get it in canada but the wet n wild creme liner will stay on your waterline, well it stays on mine. hope you can get a hold of it because it's amazing :)

  • @synchrolover85 Yes I did get a hold of it last year but it didn't stay on my waterline at all ;-(....thanks though! ;-D

  • have you tried stila smudgepot on your waterline? It is the only product that lasts on my waterline. I hope it helps

  • @pathogen4 Yes I have. Alas it did not last....but thanks so much for trying ;-)

  • I bought the Ivory shade of the Rimmel Match Perfection at the Boots pharmacy

    in the Dubai Mall. I love mine!! But I have never tried the Touche Eclait but it was on my wish list. After this video it is now OFF my list!! HA!! Thanks for the review...loved it!! =)

  • @scruffy281 Yay! I'm so glad you're loving it!!...AND saving some $! ;-D

  • ahh i should have watch your video before doing a drugstore haul!!...aiming for the covergirl lippies next time!

  • @spongybob06 Omgosh I think you'll love them! ;-D

  • Hi Koko!

    I've been a huge fan of yours for awhile. I tried this new natural skincare line made for new moms. I'm not a mother or anything but I figured if it's made for new moms it must be potent. Anyways, I just thought I'd mention it to you so maybe you can check it out. You can google "ma mi skincare". They have a sample pack for $7 that I got and I loved it. I'm not affiliated or anything. Just thought I'd let you know a good thing.

  • @flagrl561 aww thanks so much for the tip!! ;-D

  • Oh. Two more things I need to add to my shopping list. Thanks!

  • @beverlynguyen Hope they work for you! ;-D

  • I LOVE your cheeckbones! I know many that would die for them

  • @chinadollnguyen69 lol....thank-you ;-)))

  • Okay, you gotta check out the clearance section on the website I just mentioned..Paul and Joe lipsticks, I think you will appreciate these lippies, meow! ox

  • @maremade0 Thanks M!! You're the best! xx

  • Hey Koko, fyi, just surfing for another brand of make up and happened upon a web store madeyoublush.ca and saw eos lip balm in lemon drop flavour.ox

  • woot! i'm excited to try the PF liners. can you share here which other eyeliners that worked for your waterline? i can't seem to find anything that works!

    also, do you know if the maybelline eyeliner is safe for the waterline?

  • @annegrrrll I'm assuming that your new to the channel because I constantly talk about how NOTHING has ever stayed on my waterline...lol! The longest wearing one so far has been Smashbox jet set liner. I don't know about the Maybelline as I've never used it on the waterline ;-)

  • omg..after i watched your video i went to pick up the PF eyeliners right away and you are right!!! they are the best ever! i have extremely oily/watery eyes too and nothing seemed to work including the mac fluidline..thank you sooo much for spreading the word! i was dying to find an eyeliner that didn't smudge on my waterline...you should also try their eyebooster liquid liner as well! it's great for tightlining my upper lash line because of its fine tip and also a great overall eyeliner.

  • @lorii1122 Yay!! I'm so glad it worked for you!! Thanks so much for sharing ;-D

  • hi

    i know there is a eos lipbalm in lemon at the walgreens by me (here in seattle) right now....i would be happy to get it for you....let me know. I am new to youtube. LOVE your videos. you are so entertaining!!!!

  • @annabanana171 OMGosh that is so sweet of you!! Thank-you so much but a few fantastic friends have already offered ;-)))

  • Koko have you tried Lily Lolo cosmetics? I ordered some samples and I've been blown away by how amazing they are. xx

  • @katanaxou No, I've never even heard of it! Will definitely keep my eyes and ears open....thanks for the tip!! ;-D

  • I almost bought that Rimmel concealer,lol! in the cart, out of the cart, one of those days. That eggplant eyeliner shade is a must look see. Great finds K. That Gina is the concealer queen. oxo

  • @maremade0 I think the eggplant would look gorgeous on you!! Again it's a much drier formulation that most which is something I prefer but I know most don't.....she's SO the concealer queen!! I actually don't consider the Rimmel a concealer, definitely more of a highlighter for me ;-D xx

  • @kokolaroo Yes, the Rimmel shades are all pretty light.

  • I use the liners daily... I also have the shimmer strips and the double mascara from physician's formula, from the pack for brown eyes. I LOVE THEM.

    the only things i use daily. DAILY. ever since christmas. i love them i love them

  • @cigiss lol...thanks so much for sharing! ;-D

  • Okay, I am going to have to go buy me one of those CG lipsticks. They sound amazing!! Thanks for sharing your afforadable finds :)

  • @careynvegas21 They really are fantastic!! ;-D

  • Thank you for the review! As I'm now 34 I find I have less and less in common with the early-20-somethings making videos here on YT; I can definitely appreciate a more straight-forward approach and a "this is worth the splurge, this is not" kind of attitude. I hope that came across as complimentary; I meant it as such! Haha! Thank you for the reviews and even though I have PLENTY of lippies, I will keep my eyes open for the Cover Girl colors you mentioned. :-P

  • @sondarah I definitely took it as a compliment ;-))) I think you'll be impressed with the CG....it was the first CG lippie I've ever tried and it's fantastic! ;-D

  • Hi Koko! May I ask where you can get the Giorgio Armani corrector in Canada? Thanks!

  • @loynut Holts ;-D

  • i wrote everything down. thanks koko. but talk about low end? i just bought an elf cream liner and i love it. $3! can't go wrong. i will definitely check out your picks. now you've probably mentioned this before but i was wondering if you had a fave concealer? thanks again and have a great weekend.

  • @northnailnut Hope you find a gem or two on the list!....If you ever want to know any of my all time faves just click the HG video. By no means should you watch it again but everything is listed in the below bar so you can just reference it anytime ;-)))

  • Great finds!

  • @Playingwithmakeup Thanks! ;-D

  • wait you never bought drugstore before youtube? did you start with high end even when starting out in like middle school or high school?

  • @angel20259 Well I think I remember using something called fabuliner when I was a kid and fooling around and I don't know if bonnebell lipsmackers count as makeup but when I was at the age to actually wear makeup full time, somewhere around 14-16? I always bought department store makeup. I started working when I was very young and saved my money to buy it, certainly not hordes of it but enough to ignite a life long

    passion/obsession....lol! ;-D

  • oops spoke too soon.. delish regal (think i heard correctly) isn't one i've seen yet! ahh! my CG lippy collection may grow another 2 ;cD

  • @ginabinawina99 Yeah I think I f**ked up and called it Delish Regal but I think it's just Delish, the Regal part is the french name ;-P If you can't find it let me know and I'll send you one mama! xoxo

  • I bet you I can find the lemon one. I have the fruit one and swore I didn't love it, but always use it! go figure! LOL .. yay for the rimmel highlighter working for you and also yay for the CG lip perfections. I have 7 and wear them often. they wear better than any mac or other high end lipstick. oh hello.. need rapture now lol i can definitely imagine heavenly working well on you. great video AS aLWAYS girl!

  • @ginabinawina99 I think they're floating around in Florida...lol! LOVE them...my first ever CG lippies!! You're so right, they really beat out so many high end brands! Muwah! xoxo

  • I have everything you bought here except for the Rimmel concealer. Love Rimmel Nude Delight too, the smell is OKAY but not the greatest for me. As for the NYX, I can't stand the smell either but I love the product. Revlon Super Lustrous lipgloss= my favourite though. Have you tried those? Please do in Nude Lustre, Coral Reef and Pink Whisper!

  • @xXsaturniceXx Yes I have tried the Revlon glosses....Coral Reef and Peach Petal. alas they were not for me ;-)

  • I have these physician formula ones too and I love it! They are really gorgeous and you can get them 40% at Shoppers Drug Mart sometimes too:)

  • @xXsaturniceXx Thanks so much for sharing! ;-D

  • I don't like the Lemon one. I really don't like it. I like the orange one much more. And the orange one is all organic. The other ones are not!

  • @sherinaphilippe What? I read on the website that they are all 100% natural/organic....hmm that's so odd. Thanks for posting ;-D

  • Always live your videos!! I can send u a EOS lemon if you want! xo

  • @strawbvee aww you are too sweet! Thank-you so much but a friend just told me where I can get it online ;-)))

  • Hi koko, love your finds! I didn't care for the EOS lip balms. To me, they are too waxy like chapstick and I hate that wax feeling on my lips. I gave the ones I bought to my goddaughter and she loves them, ha ha! I haven't tried any of the other items you mentioned, but I will definitely put on my list. I found the Naked palette yesterday at Ulta and finally got it. I am probably the last person on earth to buy it, ha ha, but I love it! xoxo :) Carla

  • @goode2shuz1 Yay Carla!! I'm so glad you finally got your hands on the Naked palette!!! Better late than

    never! ;-)))

  • I haven't gotten Cover Girl in decades because I hated the smell. Do they have any scent now? That Heavenly is gorgeous. Oh, you did mention there is a smell. Guess I'd still smell something as the NYX doesn't bother me at all.

    Thanks for the reviews!

  • @delacotta360 This is the first CG lippie I've ever purchased so I can't tell you if they are different from the ones you tried but I think it's worth checking out...the scent is VERY faint to me. Let me know if you ever do! ;-)))

  • =) for some reason, i can't say enough how i look forward to yours and gina's videos hehe i just usually agree and enjoy the products you two recommend!! whee~!!

  • @springfallrain aww thanks! Yes love Gina's reviews too!! ;-D

  • @pnaiviv I purposely didn't get the black because I rarely ever use gel liner because it's too harsh for my eyes at this age...I really just wanted the brush..lol! No I haven't tried Joe Fresh ;-D

  • Love ur video. Will check out the lipbalm. I m also on the search for the eye pencil liner or cream liner that stay on my waterline. MAC, bobbi brown, milani, clinic, Kate, revlon,etc. None is working :(

  • @thesfangel12 Yes it seems that we are the unlucky ones ...oh well ...;-)

  • Lemon isnt discontinued. Got one last week at ulta.

  • @mosuco97 Unfortunately we don't have Ulta in Canada;-(

  • haha I love when you talk about a new liner and I wait for it "....does it last on my waterline.... dhum dhum dhum dhum.... NO"

    LOL so sorry nothing works for you, it's become a real thriller for me.

    maybe you should try permanent marker :p

  • @Beeneelicious lol! It's really not a big deal....it's fun to go on the hunt but I never buy high end anymore unless I can test it out first ;-)))

  • @kokolaroo been meaning to ask if you have tried Laura Merciers cake eye liner??

  • @Beeneelicious No I haven't, never really been into cake liners but I've heard good things about it ;-)))

  • Thanks Koko, going to Riteaide in the AM to pick up the eyeliners & the lipies!

    Thanks for doing the shopping for me, saves me so much time!!!

    You're the best!

  • @Beecozz7 lol...thanks! Hope they both work for you!! I've heard mix reviews on the board about the liners but everyone seems to love the CG lippies!! ;-D

  • Just to let you guys know about the EOS lipbalms (I already posted this at another video of another guru because everyone raves about these and I just have to say): EOS copied the design from Lancome. Lancome brought out a lipbalm exactly like this back in 2007.

  • @Kathiza1 Thanks for sharing ;-)

  • I dont like Touche Eclat either...its disgusting!

  • @plushtea So true, I'm glad it works for many people but it was awful for me! ;-)

  • i used to be obsessed with drugstore brands, but since i ve been watching pixiewoo videos, i found out that most of those companies do animal testing :( pitty, cause those are really great products

  • @lolilol1001 Yes Loreal is the worst culprit but as I just wrote in a post below there are changes already being made ....thank goodness! ;-)

  • @kokolaroo

    good to know :) i would feel so guilty otherwise... thankx for sharing

  • @lolilol1001 I totally hear you!! It's hard to keep up will all the corporate take overs but hopefully after 2013 it will become a thing of the past! Fingers crossed!! ;-D

  • ok now,what s on your nails? beautiful

    thanks

  • @itismebutterfly It's Lippman's Whiter Shade of Pale...I LOVE it, if you can get your hands on it...SO worth it! ;-D

  • the lemon one is very lemony!? lol

    but the taste is like Skittles candy

    just wondering on average, how many hours does eyeliner last on your waterline?

  • @Maid1027 About 45 mins...lol!

  • they do have EOS in lime/lemon....i think it s green-ish color :-)

    try it

  • @itismebutterfly Thanks! ;-D

  • @01cathym Yes they're not too bad ;-D

  • @01cathym I actually don't have that many Mark colors but the one that I really liked came in a palette an not in singles....I really don't think you can go wrong for the price ;-)))

  • Rambling is absolutely fine :) I love ramble!! Great video, very intrigued by those cover girl lipsticks!! Will definitely have to check them out! x

  • @kelef666 I think you'll be quite impressed!! ;-D

  • love your earrings! where did you get them from?

  • @enitsirhceab I have no idea as they are at least 6 yrs old....I've worn them in tons of vids ;-)

  • @enitsirhceab was about to ask the same :)

  • You have amazing cheek bones. Gorgeous! You sense of humor is A+!! xx

  • @PersianBambina aww thank-you! ;-D

  • @PersianBambina When I saw her videos the first time I just saw a screen full of cheekbones :-D They still bother me a little bit... I can't explain why. I'm just irritated by such prominent cheeckbones. But anyway: I love your videos, koko, I'm watching every single one you put up.

  • I love when you ramble! So ramble on, please!

  • @lululemon30 aww thanks...lol ;-)

  • Great drug store lip balm is the Say Yes to Carrots. You can find them in Walgreens. I dont know if you have that in Canada, but they are fantastic and organic!

  • @EverydayRococo No we don't have Walgreens but I have seen the brand here....thanks for the tip! ;-D

  • Great video I'm so glad you liked the Physicians Formula eyeliners. I would've felt bad if they didn't work out for you even though i raved so much about it :] i don't know if you'd ever repurchase them again but i'm starting to run out of the black one and it hit me that i basicallyy only use the black one so when i go to buy it again,i'll end up also having to get the other liners again also and they'll just kinda pile up after a while.

  • @PuffyLuvzMusik Thanks so much, it was a great tip!! Well I don't know about you but I'm always giving away makeup...I'm actually kinda hooked on it! It feels really great to be able to pass things on to friends and not hoard tons of "stuff"

  • Hi Koko, Great video! I bought and returned the Physician's Formula trio of pencils. I loved the colors and texture but it was very smudgy on me. Did not last at all. I also bought and returned the Shu Uemura Painting gel eyeliner.  It smudged like crazy! Returned that one too. I also tried the Clinique gel liner which the Pixiwoo sisters love, major mess. Returned. The one which works best is the Smashbox gel liner you recommended. Just bought my 2nd jar. It's good but not perfect!!

  • @samjaely Yes the Smashbox jet set has definitely been one of the best so far ;-)))

  • the cover girl lip perfection burn my lips for some reason...

  • @lilysmom72 Oh no! So sorry to hear ;-(

  • These lipsticks look wonderful! Great finds!

  • @Policosmetics82 They're fantastic P!! I don't know about the parabens or if you get them there but let me know if you want to try them ;-)))

  • @kokolaroo Thank you, koko, I will check their ingredients list! :))

  • @kokolaroo Hey, koko, I did see the ingredients list of these (Covergirl lipsticks) and unfortunately they do have paraben in them. But if you have access to Essence lipsticks just tell me (I don't know if you have Ulta there) - there are 2 colors we don't have here that I would looove to try :)

  • @Policosmetics82 No unfortunately we don't have Ulta's or CCOs here ;-( and I've never heard of Essence before so I don't think we have it here, but I'll keep an eye out for them ;-)))

  • @kokolaroo no no no worries, girl! Have a great rest of the weekend! :)

  • Hello Koko! I enjoyed the review! I have tried all of what you have raved about and agree and like all of them except the Maybelline Mousse! It just doesn't work for me and my skin! But the rest! Amazing! Have you tried the Milani Liquif'eye eyeliner? They are fantastic! Anyways, something you may want to consider if you are still on your eyeliner quest! :-) Take care!

  • @123cetaphil nutz! too bad ;-((( Yes I have tried the Milani Liquifeye but alas it turns into a little bit of a hot mess on me ;-(....thanks though ;-D

  • i always look forward to your videos :) you got me addicted to byterry products! love love them! downside is the markup price here in australia :P

    you are looking beautiful as always <3

  • @yc70jade aww thank-you! Yes they're insanely priced but I LOVE most of her products...there was one or two things that I didn't think was worth the price but when you get a good one it's amazing!! ;-D

  • @kokolaroo :) btw, is there a good eye cream that you recommend? i am always on the hunt for a good eye cream but can't seem to find a perfect one yet ><

  • RW&CO?!? NOOOO THE ONE NEAR ME JUST CLOSEDDDD -tear-

  • @GeminiAGogo awww too bad!! ...sniff...

  • It's a shame you dislike packaging that much, cause the Wet n' Wild Comfort Zone palette? SO up your alley!

    I always love your videos.

  • @kragey Yes I know, Gina raves about them but for me half the fun of makeup is the packaging...lol ;-D

  • I love your honesty and bluntness!

  • @ablondee ;-D

  • I am so excited that there is an rw & co near me, and i checked online and they sell the lip balm! I am so thrilled because i've been trying to fine it forever!

  • @Kathleenmarie25 Yay! So glad I could help!! ;-D

  • cheap and cheerful...thats so cute! I'm going to start saying that haha:)

  • I'm not sure if my eyes are just deceiving me but your brows look a tad fuller and they look fabulous! :D I could be totally wrong or my color setting may be messing things up. I didn't like YSL Touche Eclait either. I just didn't get what it was supposed to do? haha! I didn't see any difference and it felt like a clay on my face when it dried.

  • @mrdizzybubbles Ugh touche eclat....just so don't understand the hype! ;-)

  • So good to see you back...let me know if you'd like EOS Lemondrop balm, I can pick a couple up for you. The cantaloupe is really good too!!

  • @ssaah59 aww thanks, but I think I'm good ;-)))

  • @madopi aww thank-you! I have tried a Revlon lippie but I'm not sure which one it was....I never wear matte anything at this age...lol! ;-D

  • i think your eyes would look SO MUCH bigger if you just lined at the lashline instead of in the waterline, i really don't like that look on anyone, unless someone has huge eyes..but still, i like big eyes and i like that waterline bare and just do a very thin line smudged right into the lashline, in brown, or black or aubergine (those gel liner would be perfect). it would make up look more awake, younger and it's not harsh. wayne goss made a video on that xxxxx

  • @WaterDreaminOphelia I'm glad you love that look but I prefer a different look ;-D

  • @rosieglow26 OMgosh you are so sweet to offer but from the feedback it sounds like it may not be my thing...thanks so much though!! ;-D

  • you found it in rw & co right? haha that is where I got mine! haha

  • @lenlen4 ;-D

  • you look stunning!!

  • @2eyeluvmac2 aww thank-you! ;-D

  • I absolutely love CoverGirl Lip Perfection, my fav colors are Delish, and Sultry :)

    You should try Milani Mineral Blush in Luminous and Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso. I've been addicted to them

  • @theBDMentertainment Thanks for the tip ;-D

  • I found the EOS in RW&Co in Toronto, at the cash register. I thought it was so random...they only had the green melon one, I didn't know there was a lemon one!

  • @dhushym Perhaps it's not available in Canada ;-(

  • OMG I have been looking for one of those EOS lip balms for forever! I thought they were only available in the US and it turns out they sell them right around the corner from me! Thank you!

  • @bunnywinks86 Yay!! ;-)

  • Lol you are so funny in your video. Anyways I love the lipstick you have on and your makeup. You look gorgeous. Take care now!

  • @fobbishme aww thanks so much for the kind words!! ;-D

  • try the gel version one from the physicians formula, well that is if your eye isnt that sensitive.it really last long and shelf life is outstanding.just a suggestion! =)

  • @princessinateacup Thanks for the tip ;-D

  • Where were you able to find the Avon Supershock? I've been looking for it but can't find black.

  • @sandwichperson The lovely Poli sent it to me from Bulgaria ;-D

  • luv that u did more accessable products

  • For the Physician's Formula, i heard the taupe color liner in the Hazel eyes trio are to dye for. I like their cream/gel liners as well.

  • @piyo1717 Thanks for sharing ;-D

  • LOL I've heard so many raves about the brush that comes with Maybelline gel liner! You could probably use it with eyeshadow to set eyeliner on the waterline(!)

  • @victoriaindigo I actually really like the liner as well ;-D

  • ha! package whore! if you werent such and wanted to branch out: Maybelline Stylish Smokes e/s quads are awesome. and this from me of whom HATED Maybelline e/s years ago but they really are more high quality now and ive gotten so many compliments when i wore those e/s. xo love your videos !
