Having reviewed Stila’s Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Snow last year, I started using the same eyeliner in Carbon Black, too — as it made a precise line very easily and never smudged nor feathered and was also long-wearing. I could go thick or thin, and I loved the felt tip’s cool touch when applying the color on my upper lash line.

This year, everyone went mad-crazy over both the Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner and Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner ($20.00) in Turquoise, making it very …

The power of social media never ceases to amaze me. I was on a twitter feed with this brand and they offered to send me a sample to see for myself if their Instant Perfecting B.B. Cream ($15.00-$20.00; depending on drugstore) was really what it claimed to be. It was tweeted that it instantly perfects and hydrates the skin, so I agreed to give it a try.
I had seen Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase® in my local Duane Reade, yet never sampled it before. These products are developed with clinical-strength kinetin. Kinetin …

I spy a trend here! Felt-tip liners are all the rage, as they allow you to create quiet and bold looks just by application. Milani has launched Eye Tech Bold ($7.49) in Black. I have reviewed ones from Stila, Dior, Smashbox and this one is just as easy-to-use!

What is nice about it is that with the felt-tip point you can really control the line — whether you want a thin line along the lashes or a more bold, thicker cat-eye, this product, like the others, delivers.

I love holding these as …

 My, my, my… is the Stila brand expanding! The new Stila Color Balm Lipstick ($22.00 each; available in 18 shades!) packaging had me in love with the product as the color of the shade shines through the embossed logo!
It’s creamy in texture and also has the shine of a lipgloss. A certified organic sunflower based polyglyceride adds both volume and definition to your lips.

As I mentioned above, each shade matches the pigment shade of the etched logo, so you know what the color looks like inside just be viewing the packaging. …

Oh, how I love a long-wearing liquid eyeliner! This new The Super Slim Liner by Infallible ($8.95) from L’Oréal Paris gives 12-hour wear with extreme precision. Similar to the Stila liquid eyeliners, these are like paint brushes — so easy to apply lines both precise and bold.

It has a premium pencil grip for precise control, a continuous liquid flow for a smooth no-skip line and a quick-dry formula that is intended to stay put for up to 12-hours.
What do you ladies think of this new liquid liner? Let us know by …
