Happy St. Patrick’s Day!



The donut has made my stomach twist & turn all day, hahahaa! I can’t process sugars like the good ole’ days! The latte was skinny so thank goodness for that! So I wore green today and got to pinch Mike REALLY HARD for NOT wearing green this morning!

Thanks to Daylight Savings there’s that extra hour of sunlight already so yesterday I went out after dinner! Made a stop at Sephora to check out their braided headbands. They had more colors than H&M’s. Only about $5 more too.

The light brown matched pretty well! :!: There’s only a slight difference in bright light because of my blond highlights but all in all it matches great! Especially for wearing to work. Lord knows everything looks dull under THOSE fluorescent lights! I wore it all day today and loved it! I have really thin, fine hair. Bobby pins slip out of my hair! But this headband stayed in place all day without needing readjusting!

I wish they made a dark blonde. They’re selling really well because there were only 3 blondes and 1 light brown left and nothing else. :good: I’m thinking maybe they’ll do more colors if they sell well??? *hopes* Though this one’s fine; dunno if I’d go out and buy a dark blonde one if they came out with it. LOL. Though Sara Mari pointed out there’s no red one! WTF. And seriously how many blondes are THAT blonde, haahaa!

That’s it really.

Oh and I’m super addicted to my TUMBLR! happiijenny

I want to get that WC catalog scanned in *promise I will soon!*

I’ve been really tired lately. Hopefully the weather will stay nice until the weekend so I can get out and get some real fresh air!

Oh speaking of hair this is from April’s Ranzuki…

Waved!! Time to pull out my S-Waver again!!!!!!! Hahaahhhhahaaa! I know, it oozes everything that was wrong about the 80’s & early 90’s but I’m ready! I’m ready to take this look back for the ’10’s! :!: LET’S DO IT! FIGHTING! Hahahhaa! The waves keep popping up here & there~ It amuses me, what can I say

Various Eyeliners

Monday, Oct. 26, 2009 | 40 Comments

I was going through my makeup this weekend and thought it would be fun to share some quick comments on the different liners I currently have. I’m in no way some sort of expert, but I do have liners ranging from black pencil to liquid glitter! Typically I use black or dark shadows and an eyeliner brush for the eyeliner effect. It’s much easier than liners, BUT I prefer the staying power and dramatic look of liners too. Especially lately. I should also add that I use Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow primer every time when wearing eye make including with all these liners.


Anna Sui

Anna Sui Black Pencil Liner
Purchased on Yesstyle.com


Anna Sui Black pencil liner. By far my favorite pencil liner I’ve used, ever. Goes on fairly easy using the dash method and stays put. Very low on the smudging too, going a full work day (8 hours) before noticing some, if any, smudging or transferring.


Makemania

Makemania
(site) Purchased at local Japanese market


Japanese brand Makemania in dense black. Glides on easily and evenly so saves on time. Very dense black color (as stated on the box!) However it smudges easily. In no way waterproof or smudge proof. I tend to use this one when going out after work because I can add it quickly to my already done day-make and only need it to look good for a few hours.


NYX

NYX Purple pencil liner
Purchased at Amuse accessory store


NYX Purple colored pencil liner. Good for a bargain purchase! Goes on a little harsh, it’s definitely not a gliding pencil but the color really pops. I’ve only ever purchased colored liners in this brand since with color you don’t have to be so precised like black. No smudging either. However you’ll definitely need eye make remover to get this off.


Sephora

Sephora flashy pink liner
Purchased at Sephora


Sephora’s flashy waterproof liner in Flashy Pink. This is one of those things I keep meaning to buy more of. Glides on easily in 1 line. Color is soft and subtle but still noticeably metallic. Nice combination for wearing to the office without looking like a street punk. Only complaint is that there is some smudging/transferring if used as a bottom liner. But very affordable. I think a good liner for beginners.


LA Splash

LA Splash liquid liner
purchased on Yesstyle.com


LA Splash liquid liner in black. At $10 let me say I didn’t have high expectations for this liner. Very messy liquid liner. I’m fairly skilled at liquid but even I couldn’t get this brush under control. Also takes much too long to dry. I wouldn’t recommend this brand, cheap is good but sometimes it’s worth spending a little more.


Blinc

Blinc liquid liner
Purchased on Yesstyle.com


Blinc liquid eyeliner in black. What can I say, this stuff is crazy! IN A GOOD WAY! It does everything it says. It goes on pretty easily. Though you’ll need at least 2 coats. Then it stays on. No smudging, no nothing, until you gently wash (or peel) it away with warm water. I’ve literally worn this stuff for 2 days due to passing out and it still looked freshly applied. If you’re a late night party girl I recommend this stuff. You can even rub your eyes again and again and it doesn’t budge. Only drawback is that due to needing multiple coats it’s not the best liquid if you want subtle, thin lines of black liner. This one is definitely for dramatic liner looks. Love it~


Victoria’s Secret

Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Holiday Glitter Liner
Purchased last holiday season at Victoria’s Secret


Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Holiday glitter liquid liner. This liquid liner was a surprise because, not only was it a glitter liner, but also a black liquid liner! I fell in love with it. Definitely great for the holiday season but I’ve conserved it. Though it’s nearly out. Goes on smooth, and because of the black liner the glitter is subtle, so work appropriate. Glitter and liner stay put, no smudging or glitter-fall.


Urban Decay

Urban Decay glitter liner
Purchased at Sephora


Urban Decay glitter liquid liner in Metalhead (dark purple.) This was one of the original colors, they have pretty pink and sky blue ones out now too. A good liquid glitter liner. Can be used as liner or rub all over lid. It’s in a clear liquid, so only the glitter shows. Glitter stays put! Only downside is the drying time feels a little long. A few years ago this was the choice glitter liner of Ageha. The glitter is quite sparkly


Sephora

Sephora Glitter liner


Sephoa glitter liner in Opal. Really pretty iridescent liquid glitter liner. A good, cheaper alternative to Urban Decay’s (and others.) Goes on easily and dries a bit faster than Urban Decay’s. Glitter does a decent job at staying put. Goes on thicker than other glitter liners which can be good or bad depending on the look you want. Though not great for all over lid glitter because it feels a bit tacky when used that way.
