Jordana Easyliner Retractable Pencils

I love retractable pencils! I have tried a couple of pencils out there but, by far I would have to say that the Jordana Easyliner Retractable Eye and Lip Pencils are # 1.  They go for $1.99 at your local Walgreens’s and they come in a variety of shades.  The colors are very pigmented and they glide on ever so smoothly.

I have raved about my CG retractable pencil but, the Jordana ones go for a little bit less and do the same job.  I would even dare compare the Jordana Easyliner Retractable Lip Pencil with MAC’s Creme Stick Liner.  I got the MAC one in Red Enriched in January for $14.50.  I have to admit, I was not going to buy it but, got convinced by the sales girl-something which will never happen again.  Two weeks ago I got a Jordana one in Rock N, Rose, to use with my MAC Faux Satin lipstick.  The color went on so well and it lasted all day.  Will I ever get a MAC liner again?  I don’t think so. Will I ever get the Jordana Retractable Easyliner’s again?  Most definitely!

Blues and Pink

Today I woke up in a very cheerful mood so I decided to do my make-up accordingly.Since my blouse had navy blue stripes I decided to play off of that. So, why not go ahead and play with different shades of blue. Then for some reason, I didn't think it was colorful enough so I decided to throw in some pink in to the mix. At first I thought the look was going to be a little bit too much, but I decided to go ahead with it. Life is too short to go around caring what other people might say about you anyway. Surprisingly, as the day went by I liked my look even more.

I have to say I live in a somewhat boring place. Usually, you won't see people walking around with cool make-up looks, outfits or even cool, funky nail polishes. Sometimes I feel a little weird when I do this. I don't really care what other people think but it's funny when people comment about these details.

Bright and Wild

I just got back from having stayed over at my parent's house for the weekend. I put my son to bed, prepared my husband's lunch for tomorrow and picked up the house a little bit. I wasn't sleepy at all so I decided to play around with my 2 new CG single e/s that I got during the weekend over at CVS.

Ordinarilly I wouldn't go for a look this bright and wild but I decided to stick with how the colors spoke to me :-)

Let me know what you think :-)
