Stains in my tank tops.

All my tank tops have stains on them.  Which is a problem, because I wear one just about every day under my work clothes.


So this black Friday through cyber Monday I'll be looking for some good tank deals and passing along the info. 


If anyone out there has any tips, let me know, but I'm a big fan of the 'perfect tanks' from Old Navy.

Product Review: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil

I'm a product junkie.  I admit it.  But instead of going to meetings, I'm just going to share the love with all of you.

I am currently all about the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil.

After hearing about them and seeing them used in youtube makeup tutorials, I bought one.  And damn, are they great.  Picture the smoothest, creamiest, most pigmented pencil you own.  Now multiply that by at LEAST 10.  These are friggin' miraculous.

Milk--shown here, is probably the most popular.  It's opaque white, extremely blendable, and amazing as a base.  When I use this under my shadows they go on smooth and bright and stay all day.  This is a cream stick, so you're going to need a primer underneath if you want creaseless all day wear, and setting it with powder is a must.

 

I bought the 'Milk' and 'Black Bean' pencils to start, but I have about eight more in the mail that I'm psyched to try.  But experimenting with the black and white has been fab.  For instance: putting a bright or light shadow over the black pencil deepens the color and adds a ton of dimension.  I'm so looking forward to blending a blue shadow over the cherry pencil for an easy smokey purple.

Also, these are pretty darned affordable, retailing between $4.10 and $4.80 each.  There's a ton of product in one stick, and a little goes a long way since they're so pigmented.  You can also pot these (videos on youtube, ask and I'll link to one) and use them like smudgepots.  

I'm in love.
