Askmewhats Reviews: Jesse's Girl Tattoo Pen

Happy start of the week! Time has been flying too fast! And I can't keep track on what I plan to do and what I have done! LOL Am I the only one feeling this?

Thanks to all the lovely comments on my "I am a party girl" look, a lot of you have asked about the Jesse's Girl Tattoo Pen and finally! Here's my review!

Is it really a tattoo pen?
Does it stay for long?
Was it hard to remove?

I am sure those are the questions on your mind! Read on and I wish I'll be "Tattooed on Your Mind" *humming the song*



Jesse's Girl Tattoo Pen says ---
(got this info from Makeup Mix Shop)


Super-fine felt tip applies long-lasting color to lips and eyes!
Perfect as a eye or lip liner.
Color stays all day with no feathering or bleeding.

Pros

  • easy to do winged liner using this pen
  • inexpensive
  • very convenient to use especially for first time eyeliner users
  • can create the thinnest of all thin lines to a thicker line as desired
  • easy to remove with makeup wipes or makeup remover, does not require a lot of rubbing
  • it gives a dramatic effect as compared to pencil liners
  • does not irritate my eyes, I tried putting this around the lower lash line (note: NOT and NEVER the waterline!)
Cons
  • hard felt tip that's not friendly to the sensitive lids
  • for people who lives in warm, humid weather like mine, it does smudge, BUT A TINY BIT, in the middle of the day. The upper lashline didn't budge but it does transfer a bit of "smudge" on the lower eye area.

Drew swatches, waited for a couple of minutes
and rubbed gently with my dry fingers

  • because it's a pen, the ink gets lighter as you draw the line, needing to re-draw again and again on some areas.
  • not available locally
Overall

If you check out the Jesse's Girl site, you can see that the Tattoo Pens are included in the accessories category rather than the eye. I guess it just shows that the tattoo pen were made not only for eyelining but also to draw the face and body! That shows why they are available in different shades from black, henna, indigo blue, terracota and even violet! It is great for artists who plan to draw their arms or back for a temporary tattoo.

I bought the Jesse's Girl tattoo liner for the purpose of lining the bands of my falsies to make it more natural and doesn't shine on photos. For the sake of review, I've also used this to line my upper lashline and create and winged look. I still prefer my gel liners over this tattoo pen, but with it's price and it's convenience to use, I don't regret purchasing this!

I actually purchased 2, one in Henna, one in Black :)

Tips
  • use this pen to line the bands of your falsies (this works really well)
  • close the cap well, always make sure to hear the 'click' sound to prevent the liner from drying up
  • store it vertically so the "ink" won't get dried up during application
Will I repurchase?

Yes, still for the purpose of lining my falsies and for easier winged look

Where can you purchase and how much?


At Makeup Mix Shop for $2.99 (approx Php140.00) shipping NOT included
At the moment, the black is out of stock, you can message them on availability.

Here's a close up on how sharp
the felt tip liner is



The good thing?
So easy to create thin lines
to thick lines
depending on your preference!




As seen on my previous EOTD
I used Jesse's Girl Tattoo Pen in Black all the way
The upper lashline and the lower lashline
No irritations, eyes didn't turn red :)



This is overall a nice product. It's not a MUST for people who already own so much eyeliners but for starters who plan to give different eyeliner products a try, this is a "fool proof" way to line your eyes perfectly!

Any other tattoo liners out there ?
Give them a shoutout!
I love to learn more about it
Have a wonderful Monday!
Keep smilin'
Stay Happy!

Askmewhats Version: Christmas Red & Green Look

Hi everyone!!!
A couple of days ago, I did a very simple Christmas-y look called Holiday Green and White
I enjoyed doing the Christmas look and I did say I will try to do more of these!
A dear blogger/friend Tine challenged me to do colors of Red and Green....
Tine, this look is definitely dedicated to you! :D

Here's what I came up with! Christmas Reds and Greens


A diagram on how I achieved the look


First things first, I prep my lids with Urban Decay Primer Potion

It's on a different jar because I've done a surgery to my original UDPP tube



Step 1:

Using a taklon brush, pat on Urban Decay Book of Shadow's Absinthe color on the lid area.


Using the same Takon Brush
Pat on Jesse's Girl Eye Dust in Green
on
top of the Absinthe e/s


Step 2:

Using MAC 217 brush, apply RED e/s from Coastal Scents' 78pcs palette on top of the green e/s.



Step 3:

Using the same MAC 217 brush, deepen your eyes by applying Milani's Storm e/s on the outer v.




Step 4:

Highlight brow bone and inner corner of the eye with Bourjois Beige Rose


And here's what I achieved!



Eyes Closed



And here's my total look

Her handwriting is already dear to me, Toma of Makeup Masala is super generous to give her readers the chance to try Jesse's Girl Pearl Eye Dusts. I jumped to the chance coz I'm a neutral lady. I have so much neutrals and yeah, I need to put colors to my life (starting with the eye)

Here's what I got together with my Joppa MMU package.

These colors are so pretty!



It was a hectic week so most of the time I got home,
