I can’t tell you how many times I was working on an eye look with a few shades of eyeshadow but ended up messing it up because my brush wasn’t fully clean. I tend to swipe my brush between uses on a small pieces of tissue. I’ll stroke it back and forth briskly to remove any excess shadow and re-dip into the next shade.

Sometimes this doesn’t always work out great especially if I’m using dark eyeshadows and sometimes I end up messing my look up when switching between shades. I can avoid this by just using separate eyeshadow brushes that works!

But I have to say the Vera Mona Color Switch Duo could potentially become my new best friend!

I haven’t purchased Lancome Mascara in years so I decided to grab Lancome Grandiose Wide-Angle Fan Effect Mascara recently to make up for being so remiss with Lancome. For me, sorry, Lancome mascaras are typically a miss. I don’t have an issue paying big bucks for mascara as for me it is a splurge item in all honesty as I’m never very happy with the results of drugstore mascaras.

The Tarte Amazonian Clay Tightlining Eyeliner makes an appearance in the new Tarte Beauty in the Basics 6 Piece Collection which debuts exclusively at QVC on May 11th. It may be a new product for you if you’re a new Tarte fan but I REMEMBER it being one of my first big Tarte purchases like back in 2007 or 2008! True story.

I loved it back then. I thought it was just great that they had an eyeliner that was exclusively available for tightlining and waterline use. The pencil was smaller and the tip was flat which was ideal for smoothing over the waterline. It was just a really handy little tool!

Let’s see the new version of the Tarte Amazonian Clay Tightlining Eyeliner!

Covergirl Outlast Long Wear Lipstick are launching now at drugstores for Summer 2015. A few shades are available in a new Covergirl Stay Naturally Luminous All Day display at drugstores but I think it is safe to say these will be available in a larger launch shortly and will likely become a permanent part of Covergirl’s core makeup collection.

When I first saw them I had an instant flash back to Revlon’s Ultra HD Lipstick because of the clear packaging. Also, they happen to have the exact same packaging which doesn’t fully twist down the lipstick (hellloo annoying!).

Let’s take a look at Covergirl Outlast Long Wear Lipstick.
