.

Best gel liner I've ever come across. Stays on forever and can be smudged to look smokey or drawn on hard to give a 50's pinup look.

Such a gorgeous color, especially along lower lash-line for a casual-evening look.

5. M A C Eyeshadow in Steamy (Frost: bluish-gold with gold pearl) - $11.00/$14.50

So pretty on green eyes and dark brown eyes. Brightens up the eyes if they appear tired.

Besy yellow EVER! Must use with a cream type base and synthetic stiff brush.

Haul-A-Thon :D

Sorry for being M.I.A for so super duper long (I've got a good excuse...I promise)
Well...from the 3rd to the 10th I was in London (sightseeing...and shopping - D'UH!) From the 13th to the 30th I was in Los Angeles (only shopping - D'UH!)

I've put together a little "Haul Marathon" (3 beauty hauls, 4 fashion hauls and 1 accessory haul - shoes, bags, necklaces etc.) that will be uploaded and recorded over the next few days :D

Forza Italia

This tutorial is a video contest entry for SigmaShopping (Sigma Cosmetics) on YouTube.
I chose Italy for two main reasons: they won the last World Cup in 2006 AND because I am proud to be Italian!
