I love the cool pair ups of MAC Cosmetics newest collection, Suite Array. However, if you’ve seen this collection already, you may know that I am going straight for the green! As soon as I saw the Pearlglide Eye Liner in Bankroll, I was all over it like bees to honey!
I wore Bankroll with my MAC Cult of Cherries Tempting Eye Shadow quad. This eyeliner glided on so smoothly and has lots of shimmer. Prior to this past week when I gave Loose Lips New York’s Indelible Eyeliner in Ivy League a spin, I’ve never worn green eyeliner before. But…I …read more

I’m totally still on this green kick for fall. I’ve been wearing my MAC Cult of Cherries Tempting Eye quad which has recently been enhanced by Loose Lips New York Indelible Eyeliner Gel in Ivy League. It is a magnificent moss colored, waterproof liquid gel eyeliner.

And we all know what a lipgloss girl I am, so I have faithfully held Loose Lips New York’s Glitter Gloss hostage in my makeup bag. The shine is marvelous! I have it in Ruby Slippers, which is almost pinkish/mauve. However it applies almost clear with a slight tint, but is high on the shimmer. …read more

DuWop’s Reverse Time duo, a Reverse Lip Liner and Reverse Eyeliner, are on my want list right now. Both products are aimed at preventing your makeup from smudging while plumping the fine lines around your eyes and mouth.
From the product description one of the ingredients is something I’ve never heard of before– Kombuchka. Have you heard of it? It’s supposed to promote “lipofilling” to restore volume back to your skin.
Have you tried it? Does it work?

I have to say I’m more of a pencil girl when it comes to eyeliners, but I recently had the chance to try out Elizabeth Arden’s Gel Eyeliner in Black Pearl.
The gel is more like a balm consistency in a glass frosted jar. It does have shimmer to it, but it didn’t irritate my eyes. It comes with a small tapered brush, which is more firm than pliable and when you tap it onto the gel, it sinks down into it as if a flame melting wax.
The firm brush makes it easy to apply the gel in a straight line …read more

While hanging out in the beauty aisle of CVS today, I came across a brand I hadn’t heard of– Styli-Style. They had these cool Glitter Lid Liners. Not sure I’d buy the blues or silvers, but possibly black or brown would still look good without sticking out like a sore thumb.
Have you seen them?

Eventually the heat and humidity will set in…when the weather decides to act more like late Spring than early March. And when that sweatfest begins, you’ll want an eyeliner that won’t budge, and my friends, I believe I have found just the one I’ll be wearing all summer long. Lord & Berry’s Smudgeproof Eyeliner is better than anything I have ever used before.
The liner I have is in black, but Lord & Berry offers 5 other colors to suit your mood: Forest, Brown/Black, Midnight, Raisin and Light Blue. This eyeliner easily glides across your lid and amazingly lasts all day …read more

I came across this cool eye pencil brand called Pencil Me In Cosmetics in On Makeup Magazine’s (very awesome) Spring issue (kudos Michael DeVellis!) While I haven’t gotten the chance to give them a try myself, it’s definitely worth bringing the company to your attention.
Not only do these pencils have built in sharpeners in their cap, but the pencils include natural ingredients and blended botanicals. They also come in 30 shades! Holy smokes.
They certainly look pretty cool, have you tried them?

“Hi, I was wondering whether anyone had suggestions for how to line around the entire eye, even the inner corners…to achieve a look like Amrita Rao’s (pictured). I’ve seen this done on many Indian and Arabic models/actresses, but I can’t quite figure out how to do it–nor how to keep in smudge-proof! Any ideas?” Sheena, Michigan

To add dramatic definition just at the lash line, nothing’s better than a dash of black, and now Borghese introduces the perfect, silky stroke of genius, Linea Precisa Liquid Eyeliner with an easier-than-ever felt-tip applicator. The net effect: seriously mysterious & alluring eyes.
I’ll be honest, I’ve never worn liquid liner simply because my eyes tend to water a lot–ok the kids poke me in the eye all of the time in some way or another–so I fear having a running black stream of liner down my face.
Do you wear liquid liner? Have you tried this new liquid liner from Borghese?
