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!

Sinful Colors Nail Polishes

I’ve raved about these nail polishes before but, I just can’t get enough of them. The colors cover a wide range that include mattes, metallics, brights, and shimmery ones. The only colors they don’t have are boring, dull ones.

Sinful Colors Nail Polishes go for $1.99 over at your local Walgreens. I tend to get them when they are on sale 2 for the price of 1.

The colors are rich and go on very smoothly. I would totally recommend them.

Covergirl Lash Blast Length Mascara

I own several mascaras but, I have to say this is my favorite. I have been it using every time I do my make-up since I purchased it. It doesn’t clump or leave flakes after I take-off my make-up. It gives you just the right amount of length. Of course, don’t expect your lashes to look like the ones in magazine ads because we all know the models wear falsies.

Covergirl perfect pointplus eye pencil in black onyx

I love the way this pencil glides on so smoothly and easily. There’s no need to sharpen it because it is retractable. It also has a smudge tip at the end in case you want to soften up the line.

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.
