Essence Gel Eyeliner Review & Swatch

When I ran out of my MAC Fluidline in "Blacktrack," I wanted a cheaper alternative to try (all my recent posts are starting out like this, do you see the sad, sad trend?) so I selected Essence's Gel Eyeliner in "Midnight in Paris." (or... Black.) The 0.1 fl oz pot goes for a mere $3.99. So... I didn't expect too much...

Milani "True Black" Eye Pencil

These days money has been tight and I'm rediscovering my drug store's cosmetic aisle in search of cheaper prices for my makeup staples, especially; the things I re-buy over and over... Such as, in this case, black eyeliner. Based on a recommendation from Tiffany of Will Work for Makeup, I picked up a Milani eye pencil to try out.

Nars "Parrot Cay" Eyeliner

I recently purchased a Nars eyeliner pencil in "Parrot Cay" and wanted to go ahead and swatch it for you. It's a very cool, minty green.

My MAC + Mickey Contractor Haul and Swatches

I was really happy to see that I'd gotten the three items I ordered from the MAC + Mickey Contractor collection--As far as I know, Siahi and Sur have sold out and they were two of the three items I really wanted.

LA Splash Liquid Eyeliner Swatches in "Golden Abalone" and "Silver Dollar"

I grabbed a couple of these LA Splash liners... These are my first LA Splash products and I noticed them because of their sparkly goodness.
