Mind Your Line!

Every since I saw the new Benefit Eyeliner that is coming out, I have been obsessed with trying a new kind.  I ran out of my Lorac liquid liner that i was using so I stopped at sephora, real quick and I mean REAL QUICK, and picked up one of their Classic Line 24HR Felt Eyeliner.

They released this liner back in February/March, I think.  I remember it being there right before I stopped working there and I wanted to get one so bad, but we were out of stock for like 3 or 4 weeks!

Like I mentioned before, I am hooked on a liquid liner, it's easier for me to use, but I want the finish to be matte.  I have used a lot of liquid liners and some of them are so shinny it looks like I have patent leather on my lid.  I was pleased to see that this is a pretty matte liner! It's only $14 also, that's a plus! The pigment is great, it's very black, which I love! The only thing that took time for me to get used to what the actually tip of the liner.  It is a felt tip, but it is very long so it took me a few tries to get used to it.  I can get a nice sharp cat eye with this liner.  It also is easy to correct if if you get a little crazy like I do sometimes and my line looks like my nephews' sketch book!! You can also get reallllllly close to the lash line, so if you hate tight-lining the inner water liner of your upper lid, this is perfect.  Just drag it super close to your lashes and you will have the no-liner-liner-look.

One last thing! It didn't make my lash line burn! MAC Boot Black liquid liner always burned when I put it on, and the Lorac one did, sometimes, not as offer as the MAC one, but this one has been great so far!

Go get one for yourself and test it out!!!!

No Chip Nail Polish

I am a big fan of the gel manicures, but I hate how they ruin your nails.  I am not one to continuously go in and get my nails manicured every two weeks.  I would love to do that, but lets be serious, who has the time?!

I have been testing out different nail polishes, base coats, top coats and speed dry polishes.  I have tried everything from Essie, Sally Hansen, Nail's Inc and Deborah Lipman, to name a few.  My fav so far is Formula X.

Formula X is a brand that can be purchased as Sephora and has intensely pigmented polishes and amazing base and top coats.  I was testing out the polishes and top coat and noticed after a few days, my polish didn't chip.  I started paying closer attention to this and my polish lasted about 5 to 6 days with out one chip! I was so happy!

This top coat is a bit thick so you don't have to use a lot of it.  When the polish dries, it is super glossy and it hardens a bit.  I found that it works well when you put three stripes on your nail with this polish.  For example, start in the center and put a stripe from you cuticle to the tip and then repeat on the left side of the nail and on the right side.  When I didn't do this, or if I put more then one coast of this on, there were bubbles.  So be careful of that.  Other then that minor con, this is the BEST top coat that I have used for high gloss, chip free nails! It's only $10.50 too-Holla!!!!

A Formula X kit also is available for $32 which comes with the nail cleanser, primer, a color of your choice and the top coat! Steal of a deal! The polish is great and they have the most amazing spring colors!

So hurry scurry and get some now!
