Bobby Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner

I am a fan of Bobby Brown Gel eyeliners. I currently use Ivy Shimmer (above) and Forrest Shimmer. I get great compliments when I use them. They add a extra spark to the eyes. I have fun wearing these eyeliners because they aren't just an ordinary black or brown eyeliner and are long wearing for going out. I recommend almost all of their colors because they are highly pigmented and add great detail to the eye. Instead of wearing black I will use Ivy for the same dark effect but up close its a deep green shimmer.

Bobby Brown leather case oil blotters

I use oil blotters year around and especially during the summer. I bought this leather case of oil blotters for about $2o. The oil botter refills are really inexpensive, about $6 for one hundred. The quality of the oil blotters are decent because they are large in size but the texture of the blotter reminds me of toilet seat covers. By the way in emergencies toilet seat covers will do the job if you don't have any blotters. I really like the case so I keep refilling. The case is nice and durable and a perfect fit in my clutch when caring a compact is too big. I've used the Clean and clear oil blotters and they work great but they are too small in size and only come with 50. Shiseido has great ones but they are more expensive, about $16.

MAC Pigment samples

Pink bronze, Apricot Pink, Scatterays,
Gold Stroke, Circa Plum

I bought these MAC pigment samples for $1.79 ea. I like buying these sample sizes because there is enough product for me to use more then just a couple of times, 1/4 of a teaspoon to be exact. They go a long way for me because I mix & blend them with eachother and other shadows. One of the good things about these samples is that instead of buying one fullsize pigment you can get a variety of colors for the same prices or less. This website has a huge selection of pigments to choose from plus they also sell MAC Glitter Brillants samples. I spent about $13 for these five pigments, including taxes and shipping. I don't see myself buying a full size pigment unless it's one I can't live without. Pigments can be used wet or dry and you really don't use a lot of product at a time. Having a full size products must last years because these will last me a while.
