swatch: bourjois eye pencils

I've finally gotten a chance to play with  my new eye liners from Bourjois which I'm super excited about - I love the fact that they are essentially two products in one which means that they would be perfect for keeping in the purse and for travelling!


These khol & contour shadow and light eye pencils have a shimmery shade in lighter colors "to illuminate and open up the eyes" on one end and a matt darker shade "to sculpt and intensify" the look.
The color combos included in this limited edition set are black and white; grey and pink; brown and caramel; and lastly, blue and silver - versatile colors that can be worn with pretty much everything.


There isn't a huge difference between the black and the grey and somehow the blue appeared the darkest out of all 4 khol shades.  The pink and the caramel contour shades are absolutely gorgeous especially when worn on the waterline but I'm sure I could find some use for the white and the silver shades as well.

 

I was pleasantly surprised by the staying power of these eyeliners - usually khol eyeliners smudge and fade in no time but you can still see a trace of these ones after I tried to wash them off with water.  The contour shades were all gone though and only left behind the glitter.  I had to remove them with a cleansing oil.  These are definitely keepers!

Happy birthday to me

Had been eying this eyeliner palette since forever... so I had no reason to refuse myself this little present when I saw it for half price while in Sephora picking up my birthday freebies :)

Shopping spree

Five hours and three warehouse sales later, I had loads of fun and am now the proud owner of a few more nail polishes that filled in gaps of the color spectrum in my existing collection, 

several liquid eyeliners in gorgeous shimmery shades,


more socks than I can wear in a week,

and a bunch of accessories that I don't really know how to wear but couldn't pass up because they were too gorgeous.




Oh and I forgot to mention my new belt and a couple of chic sweaters from Esprit. All for under $150.

I'm still on a shopping high!

another one of my obsessions


I'm obsessed with eye liners - especially liquid liners in pen form - and I can't stop myself from picking up yet another one...  I have at least 5 different black ones (liquid, gel, khol... and my latest addition from ELF inspired by Michelle), a few different shades of brown (including the simmery copper one from MAC - so pretty!), a few different shades of blue, a few different shades of gray, a silver, a purple and a pink (and I think a white one but I can't seem to remember where I've put it) - but despite all that I'm still eyeing the glimmersticks I saw on the avon catalog!!



Isn't the purple and the green ones so pretty?
