Mini Haul: Cosmetics

Here are a few things I picked up with some Christmas money:

1. NYC Liquid Eyeliner:

I picked up this liquid liner on a whim at Ulta. I've been looking for a liquid liner recently. I haven't used one in a very long time. As a matter of fact, my first experience with wearing eyeliner at all when I was 12 was with a liquid!
I was skeptical about this product. It cost about $1.50, so I wasn't sure about the quality. I was definitely surprised! I wore this all day today with nary a smudge. The color is pearlized black, and it is pretty pigmented. It went on like a dream.






2. Clinique Butter Shine Lipstick in Baby Baby:

I picked up another Clinique lippie at Belk this weekend while in Meridian, MS. I stood at the counter for a long time looking at testers and swatching, and I decided upon this beauty. Now this isn't really a long lasting lipstick, but oh, is it a joy to reapply. It is true to its name: buttery and shiny. The color is a soft pinky nude, and it has a VERY subtle shimmer. It has the best texture of any lipstick I have ever used. At the (for me) expensive price of $14.00, it is SO worth it.

3. OPI Vodka & Caviar:

Picked up another bottle of OPI polish at Ulta. They had it on offer for 'Buy 1, Get 1 50% off,' but I didn't partake. I really wanted a long-lasting red polish, and I've been pretty happy with the OPI formula and brush. I put this on top of a chipped coat of $1 red polish, so I won't show you a picture on my nails until I fix it. :) I really love the color so far though. I think it is a great red for fall as it is very rich and not quite as bright as a cherry or fire engine red.



Hope you enjoy this teeny-tiny haul. I especially recommend the lipstick...Honestly, your lips will thank you!
