Tip of the Day:

Have a small purse that you can't possibly fit all your makeup products in? Or are you going to travel, but only want to have a light load? Maybe this is just a small thing that can help you cut down: Using mascara as eyeliner!

I used to do this at times when I didn't have my own gel liner. It works wonderfully as a liquid liner and goes on smoothly. Basically, remove your mascara wand and dip you angled brush in the dollop of mascara that is on the tip of your wand. Use as you normally would with the angled brush.

This is much easier than carrying around an angled brush, mascara, and a circular bottle of gel liner or a thick liquid liner container. Plus, I'd probably be taking an angled brush on vacation anyways if I'm big with darkening my eyebrows. 

Just a thought. 

Hope this helped! :)

MAC Paint Pot in Painterly

Eee! So I helped one of my friends out with the HTML coding of her tumblr the other day. Her sister later asked if I could help with her layout on her blogspot. I thought it was fun to edit so I didn't mind- and I was totally not expecting anything in return.

Well I read her posts while I was at it and I left some genuine comments and questions. She recommended the MAC paint pot but I wasn't too sure.

On Friday her sister comes up to me and hands this little bag to me:

In the bag, there was a card (which explained that she knew it wasn't my birthday but the bag was a perfect fit and also said thank you for my hardwork). The other item included in there was the paint pot, which was from Macy's (who sell them for $17.50). I was really excited to see this, but I felt super bad at the same time. I didn't spend too long doing things I her blog, and I felt like I didn't deserve it. But I really couldn't do anything anymore but say yes.

I started using this product and I love it. It has a nice silicone creamy consistency and is easy to blend out. Just remember to blend quickly when applying. It's primary use is to use as an eyeshadow primer and to create a solid base (without veins) to work with. I did a little research and found that it can also be used as a concealer, but only for those whose skin tone is 1 or 2 shades darker than the paint pot.
I've been satisfied with this product so far. It's made my eyeshadows more vibrant and sometimes erased my dark circles. I do recommend this product- give it a try one of these days and tell me how it goes. :)
