Pool-Proof Your Peepers

Somehow it's already mid-July, summer is in full swing and the heat index is not playing around. I love the perks of summer: tank tops and shorts, long days, lots of swimming and hopefully a vacation thrown in there somewhere. One of the things I really don't enjoy is the constant struggle to find makeup that will actually stay on through the heat and humidity and not end up slding off my face 1.5 seconds after I step outside. As I was pondering this it occured to me that there are even fewer makeup options that can withstand swimming. So I decided to take a few of my fun new products on a test run.  Product number one: Hard Candy- Lash Ink.

I bought mine at Wal Mart. It claims to be lash stain that will last for 4 days, rain or shine, rub proof and water proof. 
Product number two: Nyx-Slide On Eyeliner Pencil

I picked up mine at Ulta. I chose Azure (the really bright blue shade in the middle) to go with my swim suit. This is also supposed to be long-wearing and water proof.
So after a long day of swimming and an unladylike amount of sweating...the result?
They worked!!
The Lash Ink was deffinately a runaway success. I was a bit doubtful when applying it. It goes on pretty cakey. The applicator brush is not my favorite. I used lash comb to spread the product evenly on my lashes and make sure I didn't look like I had trurantula eyes.  After swimming and plenty of eye rubbing I had no racoon circles under my eyes ( my personal favorite *sarcasm*) and no crumbly mascara bits anywhere to be seen. My lashes still looked fresh and pretty.
The eyeliner was not quite as impressive but still did pretty well. It was a little faded and a little smushed to the corners of my eyes (from the aforementioned eye rubbing). There was no slidey-all-over-my-face mess, however, and it still looked pretty darn cute.
So.. if you want to give your eyes a little extra somethin' somethin' this summer I deffinately recommend these two products. Wearing a swim suit can be a little intimidating sometimes, maybe knowing that your eye makeup looks perfect even in the pool will give you a little extra boost of confidence. It did for me!
Happy Swimming :)
