As mentioned by Rachel, Sephora has their gift sets out and we are all crying with joy. I think I spent more time perusing that section than I did the whole store. I recently went through my makeup and threw out some that I had desperately clung to in hopes they weren't gone. I noticed I was in severe need (not really) of some eyeliner. I had been eyeing the Stila Liquid Liner for a long while now. With four other eyeliners being included, the "Draw the Line" gift box is worth more than I paid for. (In the picture, they are in order as how they are talked about)



I went ahead and swatched these beauties on my hand, but the picture is on an index card. Not that there is much of a difference, it's basically the same color as me.

The Sephora Collection Long Lasting eyeliner is a a liquid eyeliner that has a pretty nice brush. It does have some glitter in it, so wear it when you're feeling fancy. It is only a 12 hr wear eyeliner, so I would definitely set it with some eyeshadow for a longer wear.

Let's talk about the Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner. I was first introduced to Eyeko thanks to Birchbox and an amazing mascara. This company is for sure quality. This liner is more of a felt tip marker and it is beyond amazing. It's the darkest out of all the liners and one of my favorites.

I'm not one to gravitate toward pencil liners, but you can bet that I love anything Urban Decay. This duo does not disappoint. It comes in a black and a brown. Perfect for smudging and a softer liner look. Another pencil liner included in this set was the Make Up For Ever Aqua Eye Liner. After being disappointed by their shades of foundation (they don't include a ghostly white) I hadn't really tried anything else by them. This pencil was alright but nothing I would spend that amount on.

On to my favorite in the set. The Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner. This is such a beautiful, well worth it, purchase just for this liner alone. It's not too thick and would be perfect for a solid, crisp cat eye. I can't even explain how beautiful this is. It's a felt tip as well (I'm noticing a trend...) so it makes for an easy application. The next Stila liner in this set was the Smudge Stick Waterproof Liner. This is definitely the lightest of the liners, but it does just what it says. It smudges into a beautiful, smoky, soft line.

Overall, I'm beyond happy with this set. However, if I were to just buy the full size product by itself, I would absolutely be buying the Stila Liquid Liner and the Urban Decay Long Lasting Liner.

What liners do you guys grab first?

I have never been a BB Cream fanatic, I never bought into it. That is until I got a sample of the Dr. Jart Premium BB Cream in my ipsy bag. Holy mother of god. I have worn it every day since I got it. It goes on so well and is so light on the skin. So I almost had used the sample and decided to trek to Sephora to look for the full size. That's when I decided to not limit myself and get some samples of other ones to try.

BB Cream 1 (far left):
Tarte BB Tinted Treatment ($34): So far I am in love. I don't know what's up with my skin but products claiming to be long lasting typically last until lunch. Oh no, not this one. Even though it is marketed as a 12 hour cream, I noticed it stayed on my skin so well and still had a lot of coverage even after 12 hours. It has a nice silky consistency and it's just A+ good.

BB Cream 2 (middle): 
Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer ($36): I was a bit worried about this but said 'what the hell' and got the sample. I was a bit leery just because it is clay. My skin is so weird, it can't decide if it's dry or normal or combination oily or whatever. This is definitely the heaviest of the three. I like the coverage but am not a fan of how heavy it is.

BB Cream 3 (right):
Dr. Jart Water Fuze Beauty Balm ($34): I loved the premium one so much I decided to branch out. It's not as dark as it looks in the picture. You know, I am always the lightest shade; ivory doesn't cut it (where's the ghost shade?). Anywho, I think I like the premium better. It still goes on smoothly but it has an odd cool feeling when I put it on and it doesn't as well as the premium.

The winner?
BB Cream 1. Maybe it's because I have used it the most but I don't know. I don't have to reapply anything during the day like I normally would. It gives my skin a nice radiance without looking overdone. I knew I needed to test all of this out because if I am going to spend $34 on a BB Cream I need to love it. And now I have samples to last me forever so I'll probably forget which one I loved the most.

Until next time, cheers!
