REVIEW: Maybelline NY Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner



I really wanted to find a good liquid eyeliner that made it easy to create a winged eye look or just an everyday, thin lined look. Everything I've tried has been ok and has got the job done after about 5 minutes of trying to get it perfect.

SO FRUSTRATING!!!

Well, my search for the perfect liquid liner is OVER! I have found my true love!! It's Maybelline New York's Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner by EYESTUDIO.

It's a liquid eyeliner pen that's so fine and thin that it makes lining your eyes SO SIMPLE! I'm absolutely IN LOVE with this product!! You don't have to shake it or wet it down. It's all ready to go for you! No mess and no fuss, which I love! It saved me so much time this morning when I was getting ready for work! 

I purchased mine at Walgreen's for around $8. It was bundled with the new Color Tattoo Cream Shadows. CVS has a deal going on right now, buy $15 worth of Maybelline products and get a $5 extra bucks at the register! Totally worth it!! So RUN to your local drugstore and BUY THIS NOW!!!!

FOUNDATION FIXATION: My Search for THE BEST foundation for my skin.

I can admit it.. I'm OBSESSED with foundation. Tinted moisturizer as well. I WANT even toned skin! I WANT glowing, natural looking skin! But it's been hard to come by lately for me without looking cakey or blotchy or something! I have dry skin and it's worse during the winter and trying to find a foundation that covers AND hydrates, has been challenging.

So...I'M ON A MISSION.

Over the next month I'll be searching for the perfect foundation/tinted moisturizer for my skin. I will look high and low... near and far! (Actually I'll probably just go to my local drugstore, Target and maybe Ulta..lol) I will track my progress and have tutorials and reviews of each foundation I'm trying out!

Come along with me on this journey!

Do you have any recommendations?? What's your favorite foundation?

NEW PRODUCT: Maybelline's Dream Bouncy Blush




So... I saw this at Target and HAD to try it. The packaging is adorable and it looks so light and fluffy!!

Pinned Image
The color I got was Fresh Pink 05. I want to get the coral colors too. My first thoughts on this after using it this morning is that it's pretty light and very easy to apply. It's buildable, which is good because the color payoff in one swipe isn't the best. It's pretty sheer at first but it gives your cheeks a great flushed look very simply! It is true to the name "bouncy"... it's a texture I've never felt before in a makeup. You have to try it...I can't explain it!!

Have you tried this?? What are your thoughts?? TWEET ME!

Nail Polish of the Month: November - Warm & Fozzie by OPI

I've been wanting to try OPI's Muppet Collection since it was released and I haven't been able to find it! Luckily, my mom needed a hair cut so we went to Kenneth's and what did I see when I walked through the door?!? 

I was sooooo happy!! I stood there for a good 15 minutes trying to decide which one I wanted to buy. Then I found out they were $9.00 with 15% off which made them $7.65! SCORE! So I ended up buying 2!! Pepe's Purple Passion and this month's nail polish favorite.....

WARM & FOZZIE

This nail polish is the epitome of Fall. It's a golden/olive/brown color with flecks of bronze and gold glitter. I'm completely head over heals for this polish!!!  I've been wearing it for almost a week now and have gotten so many compliments! Here is what the color looks like on my nails...


Have you tried any of the Muppet Collection colors? Which ones? TWEET ME a picture!!
