Eyeliner and Lip Lacquer

It has gotten really cold here.  It was 18 degrees this morning.  Let me just say that I do not like the cold unless it's snowing.  When it gets cold I just want to wear my fluffy pjs, curl up in a soft blanket, and read a good book. 

Back in reality I get to freeze my butt off going to work and once I get there that's where the real fun begins.  They either have the thermostat set at North Pole or Sahara.  Since I'm never sure what it's going to be set at I have to dress for both.  It's made for some interesting outfits.

Anyway back to the cold weather.  I hate getting out of bed in the mornings when it's cold.  Hate, hate, hate, hate it.  I was going to skip makeup today and sleep in a little longer until I remembered that I bought a new Urban Decay eyeliner in Mushroom.  I had to try it out I simply couldn't wait.  I really like it.  It's lasted all day and it went on really smoothly.  Its a little expensive for an eyeliner.  I usually get the Sephora waterproof eyeliners for $12 and they work great.  I have really oily skin and neither eyeliner smudges throughout the day and that's saying something.  For a little added help I do put a little eyelid primer under my eyes.  This helps the liner from running all over the place and any eyeshadow I put under my eyes stay put. 

There is something else I wanted to share with you guys.  A couple of weeks ago I picked up a lip lacquer by Rimmel called Show Off.


I got the color Out Of This World.  It is a pink shimmery shade.  The color is very pretty and I love the applicator.  It has a small hole in the applicator that allows more of the product to be absorbed so you don't have to re-dip.  Now it does have a scent but not a bad one and the scent goes away fairly quickly.  The product doesn't last very long on your lips, however, it does stain your lips a little so you will have some color left on your lips when the product is gone.  I find that after the product has worn off that my lips feel slightly dry and weird so I like to follow up with a lip gloss or balm. 

All in all this lip lacquer was only around $5 so it was a good deal.  I like the colors and plan on trying out a few more. Celestial is soft nude pink that looks really pretty.  That may be the next one I try. 

I hope you all have had a great Monday!
