Pretty pixels
Ridin’ rose gold

It literally took me days to figure out that the image on the palette is a closed eye. maybe I was too preoccupied by the rose gold action happening inside.

I love this mix of colors. The colors are flashy enough for fun but flexible enough to incorporate into responsible life looks. There are pinks, warm and neutral browns, coppers, cranberries, bronzes and a bit o’ beige for balance. many of them are new colors, but I recognize some old faves, like matte beige Biarritz and dark brown Coconut Grove (oldie but goodie).

The big news: a new powder eyeshadow formula

Here’s the big thing, though: everything in the palette has a new reformulated powder formula. It’s expected to be much more pigmented than the current NARS shadow formula, but I’m not completely sold on how much much more pigmented they are yet.

Granted, they are pretty pigmented, as NARS shadows typically are, but they seem maybe just a tad much more pigmented than usual.

They do feel NARS soft and silky, though, and I easily get 12 hours of wear time with them.

Now, with a reformulation, you expect things to be better, and I expected there to be less fallout than typical with these, but the fallout is common of the current formula, which isn’t all bad, because I don’t get a ton of fallout from NARS shadows anyway. I have to do a bit of cleanup underneath my eyes and on my cheeks when I use this palette, as I finish with other NARS eyeshadows.

Another thing, this Coconut Grove, which is a workhorse dark matte chocolate brown that I also have as a single from the permanent line, is sooo different than the single version. The permanent version applies as a solid block of color on my skin, but this one looks sadly choppy.

I like that there’s a mix of mattes and shimmers.
A good color selection for warm skin tones
That’s NARS Wild night on my lips.
The colors will get a lot of people excited, as they should. This is a bad-@ss blend of current colors in a palette you could have a lot of fun with.

The thought of a new formula will also get a lot of people excited, and on that, I can say that the new formula is essentially no worse than typical for NARS (with the exception of Coconut Grove).

I love NARS, and I love these colors, even if the new formula isn’t earth shattering.

Conquering My concern of the Buxom Full-On Lip Creams

Well…they sure do look good, right?
Full Disclosure: I’ve been terrified to try the Buxom Full-On Lip Cream for ages.

I heard them explained as “plumping” as well as “tingling” as well as was like, “Oooh, girl. No.” Like, I was seriously anxious about trying these glosses! however since I take my task as a appeal blog writer extremely seriously, I lastly took the plunge.

विज्ञापन

There are 15 shades in all, $20 each (available now at Ulta), as well as I have five of them right here — Peach Daiquiri, Pink Champagne, Grape Groove, Sangria as well as Berry Bramble.

First up is Peach Daiquiri, which is extremely sheer with just a hint of a peachy undertone. On my bare lips, it’s not especially groundbreaking, however I do believe it would look great over a nude lipstick to provide it a bit life.

Pink champagne is one more extremely light gloss that would most likely work much better over a lipstick than on its own, at least for me.

Both Peach Daiquiri as well as Pink champagne are type of high maintenance, though, in that lines type as well as the color clumps a bit when I press my lips together.

So I believe the light shades are honestly type of underwhelming, however the darker shades are great, like Grape Groove, which has a light purple tint that adds just sufficient color to the deal with without being as well bold.

And then there’s Sangria. I believe it’s a truly quite red gloss, as well as if a straight-up matte red lipstick is as well much for you, choose a gloss! And this one’s so summery.

Lastly, there’s Berry Bramble, which is most likely the one I’ll reach for the most out of the shades here. It’s a lot more pigmented than Grape Groove however a bit lower crucial than Sangria.

It’s just such a lovely gloss, as well as I believe it’s a excellent example of the Buxom Full-On Lip Creams at their best. The color applies smoothly as well as lasts quite well for a gloss.

Wearing Buxom Full-On Lip cream in Berry Bramble
After trying these out, I completely admit that my fears were a bit bit…overblown. There is a little tingly feeling when I wear them, however it fades after a couple minutes. There’s likewise a cotton candy odor that I LOVE, however it’s not as well overpowering. 

I will state that these are a tad sticky, although that seems to likewise assist them last a bit longer than some glosses do on my lips.

I believe these glosses are ideal in the middle of the lipgloss spectrum. They aren’t absolutely sheer, however they aren’t completely opaque (like the Tarteist glossy Lip Paints or Anastasia Beverly Hills Lipglosses) either.

Try 1-DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE® brand contact Lenses for Fun, subtle Eye enhancement #SPONSORED

wearing 1-DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE® in natural SHINE®
I’ve received product samples and compensation for my time and effort in creating this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. #sponsored @ACUVUE

I’ve always been pretty adventurous when it concerns experimenting with hair, clothes and makeup (and food!). I’ll jump in feet first! A bright green gloss, you say?? short-term magenta streaks in my hair? SURE, why not!?

But when it concerned cosmetic content lenses? different story.

विज्ञापन

They just never really appealed to me. I couldn’t picture my brown eyes (dark chocolate brown with a navy blue ring to be exact! — they’re my dad’s eyes) as a completely different color. I dunno… different strokes for different folks, I guess.

It wasn’t just that they look unnatural sometimes, especially when you know someone very well and you completely know what their eyes naturally look like. I can get behind many dramatic cosmetic changes like hair (seriously, what’s natural about pink streaks?!), but when it concerns my eyes? I just can’t picture taking a look at myself in the mirror and seeing bright green eyes. It freaks me out!

But that was also one of the reasons I wanted to try the new 1-DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE® prescription contact lenses. They’re subtle — not whatsoever like full-on colorful contacts — and they don’t change the color of your eyes.

They’re not just subtle. They’re very subtle, but the charm benefit was very clear once I tried them on.

What they actually do is a little hard to explain, but it’s simpler to see in pics…

1-DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE® in natural SHINE®, one of the three available effects
See how my eye on the best looks a little bigger?

Once you notice it, I think the difference stands apart more. My iris looks larger, and there are amber flecks around the edges.

It’s much more apparent when I open my eyes really broad and efficiently look like a crazy person, LOL! So please excuse the crazy eyes below. They’re strictly for demonstration purposes, although I am thinking about walking around town like this just to see what kind of friends I’d make.

OH, HAI!

Unlike tinted contact lenses, these don’t change the overall color of your eyes, but I love the subtle difference.

There are a couple things going on here…

First, the outline around my iris (also known as the limbal ring) looks larger and much more defined, which makes my overall eye look bigger.

Second, the iris-inspired designes that have light-effect patterns add depth and dimension without changing the natural color of my eye.

As soon as I put one of these on, my eyes seemed bigger and brighter to me, but not in a cray-cray silly way. El Hub, however, didn’t notice a difference at all.

सुरुमा।

Granted, the man walks around without his contacts or glasses half the time, so I’m not exactly sure WHAT he sees… Yeah, there’s a very good chance that baby girl is going to need glasses one of these days, LOL!

1-DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE® lenses are prescription lenses, so you’ll need to go to an eye care professional for an appointment. I had a fitting with an optometrist to get them in my prescription. The lenses are sold in boxes of 30 or 90. prices vary by doc, but they’re as low as $65 for a month’s supply.

There are three different effects available- natural SPARKLE®, natural SHIMMER® and natural SHINE®. They range from very subtle, to slightly much more impact, to even much more impact (but still not too obvious), and complement all eye colors — green, blue, hazel, gray and, yes, brown like moi.

ACUVUE® worked with celebrity makeup artist Julianne Kaye to create some simple, how-to makeup suggestions that complement all three effects, and you can check ’em out in the links below…

Easy Winged eyeliner for beginners

OK, straight up, by “easy winged eyeliner,” I indicate easy in reference to being able to successfully draw the shape and angle you want, and not easy in terms of being able to do the whole thing in 30 seconds (it will probably take longer than that). This method here involves four steps, but they really are easy, and at the end of them you’ll have perfectly placed wings.

Now, we all know someone who can perfectly apply winged eyeliner in a single wonderful swoop, but I’m absolutely not that girl. To get my winged liner the way I like it, I have to apply it in layers and steps.

विज्ञापन

It’s all about the layers.

If you’ve ever struggled to draw your wings just right, or if you can only do it with an obscene amount of Herculean effort and concentration, this method of layering will help you place your lines and wings exactly where you want ’em. pretty soon you’ll have winged liner like a BOSS!

What you’ll need…

A black pencil eyeliner

An angled eyeshadow brush

A black powder eyeshadow

A gel or liquid eyeliner

Q-tips

1. Line your upper lash line (you can also do your water line, but it’s optional)

I tightlined my eyes first, because I always tightline, but it’s completely optional. What we’re gonna do now is line our upper lash line, so get hold of a black pencil eyeliner with a sharp idea (or sharpen a dull one), and line the upper lash line on one of your eyes with it. The sharp idea just makes it much easier to be exact than a dull or blunt idea does.

Try to keep your line as thin and as close to your lash line as possible. Don’t worry at this stage if your line isn’t as thick and voluminous as you’d like, or if the edge is a little wonky or jagged, because we’ll rectify that sitch in a second. Repeat on your other eye.

2. Smooth the edge of the line and start building the shape of your wing

To smooth the edge of the line and start building the shape of your wing, take a clean angled eyeshadow brush, and run it gently along the edge of the line you drew in step one (note: I do each step on each eye along the way to keep them symmetrical). start at the inner corner and step out. When you get to the outer corner, drag the brush out a bit to create a faint outline of a wing using the remaining product on your brush.

To get both eyes symmetrical, it helps me to look straight into a mirror with both eyes open while I’m working.

If you find that your wings aren’t even, don’t panic! use a Q-tip to tweak and adjust them.

As for the angle of your wings, it’s up to you, but I think it helps to picture an undetectable line that extends up and out from the outer corner of your lower lash line. just follow the angle of your lower lash line up and out.

Totally optional and up to your own personal preference, though. I normally like to flatten my wings out a bit (so not as steep), because it appears to elongate the eye, and I like that effect. Play around a bit until you find an angle that works for you.

3. Thicken the line and wing

OK, so now it’s time to build up the shape of our line and wing even more, so let’s take our same angled brush (doesn’t matter if there’s leftover eyeliner on it), dip it into a pan of black powder eyeshadow, tap off the excess, and press the brush directly on top of the pencil eyeliner we applied on our upper lash line a moment ago. Drag it along the edge to smooth and thicken the line.

How thick you want your line is up to you, but the general idea is to have it go from being thicker at the outer corner of the eye to thinner at the inner corner. The tapering gives a little “lift” to the eye, but it’s absolutely up to you.

For a lot of looks, I keep my lines fairly thin because I don’t have a lot of mobile lid space (which is the part of the upper lid the moves when you blink). When I do a very thick line, it ends up covering a lot of of my lid, which then makes my eyes look smaller (not what I want).

But again, it’s just personal preference. I break that policy all the time, haha!

(Oh! — you may need to draw the line on one eye thinner or thicker than the other if your eyes aren’t symmetrical.)

4. Intensify the effect with a gel or liquid liner

For a soft winged liner look, you can stop here, but I want a lot more drama for ya mama! So let’s layer either a liquid liner or a potted gel eyeliner on top of the powder we just applied to deepen the look. If you want a shiny finish, choose liquid; if you want a matte finish, select gel.

Liquid liners normally come in a felt-tip pen. I like ones with flexible ideas instead of rigid ideas because they’re much easier to drag along my skin.

If you decide to opt for a gel liner, use your angled eyeshadow brush to apply it. just wipe it off with a dry paper towel before dipping it into the pot. That way the brush head is (mostly) clean, and the bristles can pick up enough product aएनडीले यसलाई तपाईंको छालामा सहज रूपमा जम्मा गर्यो।

6 makeup policies That may Not work for You

Are you sure you requirement that eyelash curler?
When it pertains to rules, I believe that a lot of people autumn into one of three categories…

Those who comply with the policies religiously, without questioning.

Those who never comply with the rules, just since they’re policies — you know, the rebels.

And those who comply with the policies only when they believe it’s the ideal thing to do.

Personally, I belong to the third group, however sometimes, particularly makeup-wise, after hearing many times that I must or shouldn’t do something a specific way, I feel like I temporarily lose my capability to judge for myself what works as well as what doesn’t work for me. as well as I’m quite sure I’m not alone in this!

विज्ञापन

So today I’d like to remind you (and myself) that some makeup policies don’t always apply to everyone. You can follow, or ignore, any type of policies that you want.

Let’s see what a few of these policies are, shall we?

1. curling your lashes

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
After hearing lots of makeup artists as well as appeal gurus state that I had to curl my lashes, a few years back I got a Shu Uemura curler as well as started utilizing it without objection until, one day, I made a decision to avoid the curling step as well as go directly to mascara.

I realized that my lashes really looked better! I have short lashes, as well as if I curl them, they look even shorter! I don’t understand if it’s since my specific eye shape doesn’t enable me to get as close to the lid as I’d like, however all I can tell you is that it just doesn’t work for me.

2. utilizing extremely light under-eye concealer

Deborah Milano gleam designer Highlighting Concealer in 01 Light
These days, it’s quite typical to utilize a extremely light concealer to highlight the under-eye area, as well as I believe it does look great on some people, however if you’re as dark under your eyes as I am, possibilities are your dark circles will just end up looking grey as well as stick out more.

Not cool!

3. Contouring with cool-toned products

Diego Dalla Palma Contouring Palette
We hear all the time that we must contour utilizing cool-toned powders or creams since it’s the very best method to simulate natural shadows on the face. As a general rule, I totally agree with that, however often cool-toned products can look ashy as well as muddy on extremely warm skin tones. In those cases, it may be much better to utilize a product with neutral or even somewhat warm undertones. only experimenting will tell you what’s finest for you.

4. applying nude liner on the waterlines

Neve Cosmetics Pastello Occhi natural eyeliner in Avorio/Beige
How lots of times have you heard that applying nude liner on the waterlines will make your eyes look bigger?? however what if you already have relatively huge eyes to begin with? I can tell you from personal experience that it looks quite unflattering.

5. setting whatever with powder

puroBIO Indissoluble Compact Powder in 01
Having oily skin, I’ve always believed that I just had to utilize powder around my face. however considering that I likewise utilize matte foundations, I just recently realized that all I was doing was adding a powdery layer that would just sit on top of a foundation that had already set itself.

विज्ञापन

Lately, I’ve been setting with powder only the areas where I’ve utilized concealer as well as the center of my forehead, which is my oiliest spot. Adiós, powdery face!

6. utilizing cool-toned brow products

NABLA Brow Divine in Uranus
I hear so lots of people state that brow products must be cool-toned, however in my viewpoint it truly depends upon your hair color. If your hair has warm undertones, your brows must have them too, methinks.

They’re extremely soft, as well as extremely versatile.

Let’s break it down: there are 3 pyramid brushes as well as two bent ones.

It applies powder so quickly with not as well much product (I’ve been utilizing it with the Laura Mercier loose setting Powder as well as the Rimmel stay Matte pressed Powder).

Again, this pyramid thing is bloody brilliant. apply with the tip, blend with the edges. It likewise makes crease work so damn simple since the flat part of the triangle kind of blocks pigment from blending down onto your mobile lid. dazzling I tell you.

Next, my favorite brushes. I am all about bent tools. I have a scar on the center of my ideal pupil which makes me see double (if not triple) at a specific distance (probably describes my art), so bent tools are fantastic for precision work when you have obstacles. They’re likewise fantastic when working on other people.

THE BRUSHES

How lots of are there in the release? There are two brushes in the collection — the 125 Split Fibre Dense deal with clean ($38.50) as well as 126 Split Fibre big deal with clean ($46)

Uh…what’s a Split Fibre Brush? great question. The clean heads are like two sides of a coin as well as have natural fibers on one side, as well as synthetic fibers on the other, so it’s created to work with both cream (the synthetic fibers) as well as powder products (the natural fibers).
They’re surprisingly handy. Mostly, I’ve been utilizing these for applying products as well as blending them out, as well as I’ll apply whatever I’m working with — bronzer or blush, for instance — with one side of one of the brushes, as well as then I’ll flip the clean over as well as blend out the edges with the other side. It’s akin to having two different brushes in one.

Both sides feel soft, with the synthetic bristles being somewhat stiffer, which makes them perfect for choosing up great deals of product (like with the studio Sculpt Bronzing Powders).

How well do they work overall? I believe the 126 Split Fibre big deal with clean ($46) is most likely the much better value. I like the size of the clean head. It’s big, so it covers a great deal of surface area as well as is great for swiftly erasing as well as diffusing edges. I’ve utilized it with bronzer, powder as well as blush, as well as it works well for them all. It’s a true multitasking tool — yes, on the costly side, as it’s nearly $50 (!), however it’s reliable as well as versatile.
As for the 125 Split Fibre Dense deal with clean ($38.50), it’s an appropriate contouring brush, as well as it looks cool…but unless you plan to contour every day, you may not get as much utilize out of it as the deal with Brush.

It absolutely looks cool, though, for whatever that’s worth.

I can in shape three deal with compacts, three lipsticks, three glosses, three liners (apparently three is the magic number), a tube of MAC Brow set as well as a Veluxe Pearl Trio into it as well as still have additional space for feline treats.
Sadly, on the unfavorable side, the shiny exterior attracts fingerprints like a solid gold doorknob.

MAC laundry as well as dry Collection: Bronzers

Packaging for the MAC laundry as well as dry collection Bronzers

How lots of are there in the collection? There are four — two Bronzing Powders ($27.50 each) as well as two studio Sculpt Defining Bronzing Powders ($35.50 each).

Are they drool-worthy? Possibly. The two Bronzing Powders (Refined golden as well as Matte Bronze) are, in fact, re-promotes from the long-term collection, as well as if you aren’t enthralled by the restricted edition MAC laundry as well as dry packaging, you can get them now (and for $2.50 less).
These are MAC’s basic bronzers for general bronzing. I believe they’re fine, however I don’t truly utilize MAC’s bronzers extremely often. I like Guerlain’s Terracotta 4 seasons Bronzing Powders for my daily bronzing needs, however if you’re a MAC enthusiast, these get the task done. I feel such as this specific line of MAC bronzers looks a bit evident on my skin, though, so it’s not one of my faves in the line.

The collection’s two studio Sculpt Defining Bronzing Powders are not re-promotes (as far as I’m aware), however they’re incredibly sheer — noticeably sheerer than the routine MAC Bronzing Powder line. Of course, that’s type of the point, as the gel-like powdery formula is created to provide very light coverage. extremely no-makeup makeup.

The MAC fashion pack Collection! The Lipsticks

Thenew MAC fashion pack collection lipsticks
For me, these MAC fashion pack Lipsticks are a reminder that MAC still makes a few of the very best lipsticks around, in my opinion. MAC is still my very first stop when I want a new lipstick since of their wide variety of colors, as well as since a few of their formulas, like Amplified as well as Frost, are amazing.

MAC fashion Pack
Available on the internet June 9, 2016
Available in-store June 23 with July 28, 2016
#MACFashionPack

“Lead the method with a new wave of front-row deserving hues. Fuchsia, violet, emerald, deepest plum, midnight…ready to wear, any type of method we dare! So, be a doll as well as show us exactly how — the fashion pack is always in the know.” -म्याक

The four lipsticks in the introduce — pressed & prepared (a soft whitened nude with a Lustre finish), aim For gorgeous (a bright fuchsia with a Matte finish), By special order (a deep reddened fuchsia with an Amplified finish) as well as Stylist’s tip (a deep violet with an Amplified finish) — are all incredibly smooth as well as pigmented, as well as the darker colors absolutely LAST.

You can inspect out the new MAC fashion pack runway deserving Eye shadow x9 as well as Fluidline Pens here.

I used Stylist’s tip one morning before work, as well as when I got house at the end of the day, it looked good! — as well as this was with my near-constant eating as well as drinking, as well as without a single touchup.

Here are some swatches…

Wearing pressed & Ready, the one color that doesn’t work for me, I think
Alright…Pressed & prepared is extremely light, however it feels smooth as well as comfortable. I was lured to physician it up with a brown lip liner however believed that would be against my honest duties as a beauty blogger, LOL.

This one just doesn’t rather work for me, however it is a quite pink-toned nude.

Wearing aim For Gorgeous

Matte surface aim For gorgeous is really simple to apply as well as surprisingly comfortable, thinking about that sometimes matte lipsticks can tug on my lips. this has a truly nice texture.

Wearing By special Order

विज्ञापन

I like By special Order’s somewhat glossy finish. It has an Amplified finish, which is one of my preferred completes from MAC.

Here’s a breakdown of my look

NARS Pure Radiant tinted moisturizer in Annapurna // Maybelline immediate Age Rewind concealer in Honey // MAC Prep + Prime CC Colour Correcting loose Powder in reduce the effects of // NARS Dual-Intensity blush in sexual material (the right side) // MAC Snappy Style eyeshadow from the runway deserving combination around the lid as well as runway deserving along the inner corners // as well dealt with much better Than Sex Mascara // Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Dark brown // Dior Brow Styler Gel in Brown.

Wearing Stylist’s tip — my preferred one of these four!
I wasn’t expecting to like Stylist’s Tip, however wow. I always admire people who can pull off purple lips however have a difficult time discovering a perfect purple shade that works for me. But this color drives me wild, as well as it doesn’t make my teeth look super yellow (can I get an Amen??). It applies like a dream, too, as well as lasts all day. I can’t state sufficient great things about Stylist’s Tip.

Which one’s your favorite?
तिमी के सोच्छौ त? will you be snatching up any type of of these MAC fashion pack lipsticks?

Soap & Glory now available at Ulta

It’s a good thing my immediate supervisor is a cat because a lot of human beings would wonder why I’m sitting here at my desk sniffing my arms and hands…

It looks pretty weird, especially when my eyes roll back in my head. I’m pleased I don’t have to describe myself to a disinterested 20-pound tabby.

विज्ञापन

But if I were to do it anyway, I’d tell him, “Hey, man! I’m wearing Soap & Glory Righteous Butter body cream, and it smells divine!” — just like one of my favorite fall/winter scents, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (although some gals feel that it smells a lot more like the now-discontinued Dior miss Cherie).

Soap & Glory Righteous Butter
I love this brand, and not only because their products smell remarkable (although that’s a big plus) and their pink packaging is way cute (also helps too!), but also because of the size of the line.

They have a full range of face and bath stuff, and everything I’ve tried works great for my dry skin. I really like their Righteous Butter body cream, their exfoliator, their hand cream (which is on my desk ideal meow) and their foot cream. My skin is considerably less alligator-like when I regularly use them.

Soap & Glory Flake Away
I began to panic a little starting a few months ago when I observed a dwindling amount of Soap & Glory stuff being carried at Sephora, and then one day, it was all gone! Panic much!? maybe a little…

But as it turns out, my panic was for naught because — yay! — Soap & Glory is now available at Ulta!

Homie, seriously, if spend any a lot more time at Ulta, they’re going to have to set up a rollaway bed and a feeding station for Tabs, and I’ll be going even a lot more often now that I know I can get Soap & Glory.

Remember when the brand lowered their prices a few months back but kept the same sizes? (Really, who does that??) I thought that was very cool.

Soap & Glory Hand Food, and Soap & Glory Heel Genius

Next time you’re shopping at Ulta for yourself (or enabling others), check out a few of my Soap & Glory favorites, especially if you like the scent of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle and/or have impossibly dry skin…

The Righteous Butter, $15

Flake Away, $15

Hand Food, $8

Heel Genius, $10

Soap & Glory wish Upon a jar and sexy mother Pucker
You can also find Soap & Glory on Ulta’s website, and ideal now they’re using a complimentary gift with any $25 Soap & Glory purchase. You’ll get a travel-sized jar of The Righteous Butter (offer good Sept. 11 through Sept. 19, or while supplies last).

Purple glitter and macarons

Cute notebooks and steno get me every single time. This month I fed my steno habit/addiction with this glittery purple spiral notebook from Staples and these charming macaron sticky notes from Papyrus.

They’re both on my desk ideal now (next to the cat lady weekly planner I found at Barnes & Noble), encouraging me with their cuteness.

Now I need a purple gel pen to match the notebook! I got the idea from my OB/GYN, who always uses purple gel pens to write stuff down, and I get a little steno envy whenever I see it. LOL!

“Hi, Auntie! म तिमीलाई माया गर्छु!”
I had a quick checkup yesterday, by the way, and got another look of baby Girl.

She’s getting so big! I got to see her umbilical cord on the ultrasound for the first time and heard her heartbeat.

MEOWZA! Tarte Sex Kitten liquid eyeliner

$20 Tarte Sex Kitten liquid Liner
Let’s step into the feline woman confessional for a moment, shall we? since I have a couple things to get off my chest…which is currently covered in tabby fur.

First: sometimes I believe about kidnapping my neighbor’s feline Harris, as well as I may or may not have already concocted an elaborate plan to lure him into my home.

विज्ञापन

I understand this is wrong, however I can’t assist it.

Super consumed with this splendid beast! (Please don’t tell Tabs.)
Second: mostly, I like utilizing Tarte Sex Kitten liquid liner since there’s a feline head on the end of it.

Look exactly how adorable he is!! He looks kinda grumpy, too, which speaks to my soul, particularly in the morning.

OK…now I’m looking carefully at this feline head, as well as I just realized that he looks a bit beat up. My poor for not taking photos of him (yes, he’s a boy) sooner.

Beauty blogging is weird, man. most of the time I select not to utilize a product up until after I’ve taken pics of it first, however sometimes — like WHEN YOU have A feline HEAD ON THE CAP OF YOUR liquid liner — I get so excited that I fail to remember to take the “before” pics. then I end up with a somewhat tow-up feline head.

Meowza!

BTW, this thing is truly good! It’s a great deal like Clinique quite Easy, which I believe is the most easy to use liquid liner available now.

Like quite Easy, Sex Kitten is intensely pigmented, black as well as shiny, as well as it has a versatile felt tip that’s simple to draw thick or thin lines with. Figuring out exactly how to do flicks with Sex Kitten was a bit tricky, though. It’s somewhat longer than quite Easy.

Sex Kitten likewise dries in about 30 seconds, so you won’t have to sit there humming wonderful Caroline permanently with your eyes closed (ugh, don’t you dislike it when wet liner transfers up into your crease?). as well as when it dries, not even the abrasive caress of a cat’s tongue licking your lid will eliminate it. Tabs can attest to this.

Wearing Tom Ford Burnished Copper on my lids as well as MAC Saddle in my crease. The liner is Tarte Sex Kitten liquid Liner.
I such as this as a cruelty-free, vegan alternate to Clinique quite Easy. on that note, isn’t it fantastic exactly how we have so many makeup options these days? like with liner, back in the day, you had two options — black or brown. as well as perhaps one brand. That was it.
