Dupes of the 24/7 Urban Decay Eyeliner Pencil in Perversion

When they said that the best eyeliner pencil out there was this one, (whoever 'they' may be), they weren't kidding. All other pencils are compared to this pencil, it is the set standard to which any new eyeliner pencil out there is matched against.

Until recently, I did not posses this eyeliner, so I was clueless. I did have some very good eyeliner pencils though, one of which I imagined would be close to the 24/7 pencils, from what I heard of it. Turns out I was not that wrong, in fact I stumbled upon another very close product.

There is no denying that the 24/7 pencil in the shade perversion is the blackest of blacks, has the smoothest of applications, and is very long lasting.

Prestige Baked Eyeshadow Trios

Lately, have you noticed the tonnes of eyeshadows being thrown our way, no mall is safe...seriously. I'm not even talking about the giants like MAC or Urban Decay, but the little guys, like the this particular one make it hard to resist not picking up the entire range. It's amazing how the brain can process what shade to pick from the colossal range within the budget you have allocated yourself...

And so when I was looking at the color range, I was surprised to see how well put together the color schemes were. I already knew I wanted at least one trio from this brand, but hey, self control...not my strong suit...ended up getting 2....don't judge me...I know what you're thinking :-)

Trio in 01 Desert 

Trio in 02 Forest

They had a pink and purple and blue also.

Prestige Primed and Ready Eye Primer

Eye Primers have become so popular everywhere. It's true how they increase longevity and make the eyeshadows more intense. Some also do a little color correction and some prevent creasing. So it just makes sense that a primer that can do all of those things is a real gem, and with so many drugstore brands bringing on their A game, more expensive primers like Urban Decay Primer Potion and Too Faced Shadow Insurance are not longer your only options. Here's an eye primer that I have actually never really heard anybody talk about in the cyber world.

Love the Packaging

It's funny how I'm always on watch for a good eye primer especially since the homemade version is just as good as any I have tried...pretty crazy...I know. Regardless, let's move on...

Prestige Waterproof Lipliner in 47 Spice

Already being recognized as one of the best lip liner makers out there, I can not praise their lipliner in the shade Spice enough. It's affordable and excellent money's worth of product. If its the one thing I can never get myself to do is splurge on higher end lip liners...I think its outrageous...at least I have that little bit of sanity.

And here is a little jewel that is just so universal its just a must have in your makeup bag.

Eyeliner 101

As with all makeup products out there, the range and variety of a single type is overwhelming. Over the years, the quality has improved and innovation has played a huge part in terms of the choices we have when we go out shopping.

So today I want to go through the basic types of eyeliners out there, what effect each one is meant to give and a mention to some favorite drugstore brands with an honorary mention of one high end product as well if I have one that is.
