2013 Pantone Color of The Year: Emerald

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a few weeks now, but just haven’t had a lot of time lately between work and Theme Alchemy, a new site I’m starting to sell premium WordPress …

Guest Post: Cailyn Cosmetics Gel Liner (Brush Built In)

This review comes from my older sister, Quynh. Since Quynh asked me to get her a new gel liner before I left for The Makeup Show NYC, I snagged this liner from Cailyn Cosmetics. I have a few of Cailyn’s shimmer powders and I was really impressed with them, so I was hopeful that their new gel liner would be a great product for my …

Milani’s Color Brilliance Eye Pencils

After seeing some pictures and a video from user “sasakiasahi” on YouTube of simple black eyeliner look highlighted by a bright color liner, I decided to stop by CVS Pharmacy to buy some colored eyeliners. I was trying to find some good Wet ‘n’ Wild ones, but after no luck, I ended up leaving with Milani’s Color Brilliance Eye Pencil in 02 Aqua and 03 …

Wanted: The Perfect Liquid Eye Liner

Until recently, I used smudgier eyeliners far more regularly than liquid eyeliners. Lately, it’s been Cover Girl’s Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Eyeliner. I like the more natural, casual looks cream liners can create, which has made them my go-to eyeliners for everyday wear the past few years, and I’ve limited my use of liquid liner to big events and more formal looks.

But while I love …

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

These Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils were one of my first high-end makeup purchases. I was attracted to them while shopping at Sephora because of the range of colors they come in. I’m not one to shy away from color, so unique colors immediately catch my eye. As a matter of fact, the first colors I bought didn’t include the traditional black or brown; …

POTW: Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner

I bought this after some good words from Stela, and I’ve been extremely satisfied with it. I can be pretty picky about my eyeliner – usually I use black shadow with an small angled brush to get the results I want. I need an extremely tapered wing on the outer-corners of my eyes, and pencil liner doesn’t quite cut it. I’m not that big of …
