Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pens

I have never been able to master making lines with liquid liners.  I was so terrible at it that I gave up on liquid eyeliner all together.  I have finally found a solution that works, liquid eyeliner pens. I have also found one that is inexpensive which to me is a double win.  I have nothing but good things to say about elf waterproof eyeliner pens.  They come in many colors and are very easy to use.  What more could you ask for?  Did I mention they are only $1.  The felt tip pen is very soft yet firm enough to make a great line.  I have them in all colors and you should to.  Pick them up at www.eyeslipsface.com.  I also was able to find the black color in Target. 

ELF Waterproof Eyeliner Pen: Black, Ash, Midnight, Teal, Plum, Purple

ELF Eyeliner Pens

I have used all the colors and have not experienced any drying out on the applicator.  The only thing I dislike somewhat is that it can take a gladiator grip to open sometimes but it is only made that way so the pens do not dry out, so its a gift & a curse.

Until Next Time Divas :)

The Truth About Buying Makeup Online

Unless you are a complete makeup junkie (like myself) I always advise people against buying makeup online for a few reasons:

1) Unless you are buying from a trusted authorized seller or the company itself there is no way to prove you are not getting counterfeit merchandise.  If the price sounds too good to be true most likely it is.  EBay is the place most people get burned.  The only exception to this rule is NYX because it is so hard to find in stores.  I do buy that on ebay but only from one seller.

2) The color often is not what it appears on the screen.  If you wear almost every part of the rainbow and don't so much care if a color is off from what you thought you can skip this reason.  Many however stick only to the colors they are comfortable working with so any slight change totally ruins their makeup routine.

3) Sizes of products actually appear different in real life.  Lets get real the average person does not know what .17 oz of product looks like compared to .37.  Get my drift..

4) Never buy MAC from anywhere but the store itself, their website www.maccosmetics.com, or the high end department store counters & website.  9/10 it will be fake from anywhere else.

If none of these rules apply to you, by all means go and save those few dollars by ordering online.  Some of the best places ( and really the only places I shop) are:

HauteLook which is an invite member only daily sale network. They usually have deals you could NEVER beat anywhere.  Join here for free: http://www.hautelook.com/invite/NSci154 . You always know that the items are fresh, authentic, & order will come correct.  The downside is the shipping time (usually no less than 2wks) and the sales only last usually 2days and then its new products & they tend to sell out very, very fast (there is a method to HauteLook that I have perfected that I will share in another post, stay tuned this week)

Ulta- It is just like Sephora however the only difference is they sell both prestige cosmetics and drugstore brands so you get the most out of your shipping cost.  Also, they ALWAYS have good sales...and samples with every order..YAY!!

Sephora- Speaks for itself.  Authentic, great customer service, fast shipping, and pretty decent deals....lets not forget the samples

MAC- some people love and worship MAC.  Yes, the products are great but they almost NEVER have sales...so unless its the holidays or they have a new product I must have, its usually a deal-breaker for me.  I have found dupes to most of their items so I'm happy.
