OKAY. New love:

First Aid Beauty's Eye Duty Triple Remedy It's helped my dark circles SO MUCH.

And I mentioned this on Jess's last post, but now that I've used it more, Smashbox's photo finish pore minimizing primer is still wonderful to me. (Oh! And Smashbox is having a labor day sale. Oh no!)

And MAC's fluid eyeliner is GREAT. I don't think I've ever been able to get so close to my lashline.

INTERESTING. I really like the eye cream from Benefit, but I am open to other things! I will have to remember that. Where did you get it?

And oh! I forgot to mention the MAC liners from Novel Romance. THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS.

[katayla]

Sephora! It's sort of an eye cream and and a concealer both, though I find I still need to put concealer on top of it.

I really did buy all the liners except green. :D But they are not here yet . . .

So, I went ahead and got this Tarte brow gel and so far I really like it! Getting used to the smaller brush took a little doing, because it is REALLY tiny compared to the one for Benefit's Gimme Brow, but I think it's going to be good. And the color is just about perfect for me. (I got it in Taupe.) And it doesn't smell, Katie!!!! So if you're looking for a brown thing with a mascara like applicator, this would maybe be worth trying.

Also, I've been playing with the Too Faced Cat Eyes Palette and I LOOOOOOOOOOVE it. It's so pretty!!!! And I can actually follow the diagrams, so bonus.

Heeeee. I'm still okay with the eyebrow pencil ipsy gave me, but I will keep it in mind! (My eyebrows are pretty okay, though. Mostly, I just want them a bit darker at times.)

Ahhhh. I'm not using a lot of eyeshadow right now, but BEING ABLE TO FOLLOW THE DIAGRAMS SOUNDS AWESOME!

THE TOO FACED PALETTE!!!

[katayla]

Oh! And I got a sample of Urban Decay's Perversion mascara and like it a lot. I will probably buy a full size of it. I don't have a current go to mascara.

[empressearwig]

See, I didn't love it. I didn't feel like I got enough length from it and it was too fluffy.

[katayla]

I'm really liking the volume, which is where I feel like a lot of mascara has been failing me lately.

I had my eyes on Maybelline's "Dream Bouncy Blush" (we don't get them here in Germany) and now I finally got one and I'm already in love :D

Also new in my collection,one of Maybelline's "Color Elixir" glosses,it's great!

And I love all things Kiko :)

[katayla]

NICE! :)

I'm not sure we have Kiko here!

[malicat]

It's an italian brand so you only get it in Europe,I think (but hey,we don't get a lot of the brands you have so I'd say it's only fair *g*). I would buy everything they have if I could tbh. The have excellent quality,lots of colors to chose from and it's still pretty cheap :)

[katayla]

Haha, this is true! :D

Still, I will have to keep my eyes open to see if we ever get it!

NARS has released their new Audacious Lipstick line. It's been available online, but my Sephora just got it.

Now I've only tried one, Charlotte, so far, but I love it. The price tag is steep but NARS cosmetics are worth it, imo, if you want to spend the money. The quality is really really great. Charlotte is a dark vampy red color. I want to get Liv, the aubergine plum. But the formula is really nice, it's long lasting, and not drying at all. No huge smell either.

[katayla]

I do need to get to Sephora and check them out!
