Who is the Blackest Pencil Liner in the Land?

Hello Beautiful People,

     On a recent browsing at Sephora I decided to swatch some of the blackest pencil liners that were available in store at that point. I will note that Make Up For Ever's liner was sold out at the time so its not apart of this swatch test. I was on a mission to find the BLACKEST liner available that at the same time wouldn't move. I tested the following brands:

• Stila
• Nars
• Clique
• Too Faced
• Benefit's Bad Gal Liner 
• Buxom 
• Sephora

 Here are the swatches ...

Stila, Nars, Clinique, Too Faced, Benefits Bad Gal Liner, Buxom, and Sephora

So who won?

1st Place: STILA

2nd Place: TOO FACED

3rd Place: Buxom

Who stayed on the longest? I used makeup remover and a pad and the two that I had to really scrub off was  STILA and TOO FACED with STILA being the winner. So there you have it. Go get your STILA!

Sunday Styles: Singin' the Vintage Thrift Blues

Hello Beautiful People,

Happy Easter to Everyone! Wanted to share my Sunday's best that just so happens to be a thrift buy, minus the shoes which I purchased deeply discounted on my birthday. What's so awesome is the entire outfit including the accessories cost me $56 dollars! Yup as you will see in the breakdown nothing was over $46 dollars. So without further delay here is the look.

L'Bel Couleur Luxe Expressive XP Palette, Revlon 3D Volume Mascara, Clinique Lower Lash Mascara, MAC's Morange Lip Stick & Revolution Evolution Lipglass (Limited Edition), Make Up For Ever HD Foundation #178, Make Up For Ever HD Primer #4 and MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Deep Dark

   



 *Disclaimer The L'Bel eye shadow palette was received as a gift. Everything else was purchased with my own hard earned cash.*
