Colored Eyeliner!

Color liner.. I'm obsessed!
Ever since I bought my Sugarpill eyeshadows, I've been completely obsessed with doing colored eyeliner. They are SO pigmented and work extremely well with the DG Superstar Serum. —And surprisingly, it wears a lot better than most eyeliners I own! If you don't already own the Superstar Serum, I think you really need to buy it. It goes for only $3 and if I recall, shipping is fair as well.

Here are a couple looks I've done with colored liner lately, I hope you enjoy!
I posted this first look on Instagram a few weeks back, I really loved how it came out! Sugarpill's Velocity worked so extremely well with the Superstar Serum, it gave such a bold and bright look without even really doing much!
If you're interested in seeing the products I used for this look, I've put them in the Instagram post!

This next look is just as simple but I used Sugarpill's Midori.
I didn't like this look as much as the previous but I was still happy with the vibrancy of Midori!
The details of this makeup will be in the Instagram post as well once posted!

Do you like the colored liner trend? What are your favorite colors to wear?
I'd love to know!!

Physician's Formula 2-in-1 Eye Booster Eyeliner

Today's post is a review on Physician's Formula 2-in-1 Eye Booster Eyeliner + Serum

I've never really called anything my "holy grail" item.. but I would definitely consider this my HG eyeliner.
(However, I will say this packaging isn't very picture friendly! Haha)

Price: $9 - $11 USD
Color: Ultra Black

This eyeliner has a brush-tip applicator. As you can see, it has a very fine point.
I think this is great because you have complete control over how thin or thick you want your line.
This applicator also makes it so much easier to do a winged liner, even if you have barely any experience. (Like me!)

It says it is:
"Hypoallergenic, Fragrance free, Paraben free, Dermatologist approved, and Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers."

Directions, Ingredients, and What It Claims:



I'm not entirely sure why they had the subjects use mascara in the images,
I think it would give a better representation showing the bare eyelashes.
Unfortunately, I can't really comment on the "lash boosting" ability since I don't wear makeup daily.


This eyeliner claims to be "24 Hour Wear" and though I'm not up to wearing it for 24 hours to challenge that, I have worn it for approximately 10 hours with no smudging of any sort. (With and without primer)

In my June Favorites post, I said that it wasn't entirely opaque on its own.
I was actually wrong about that. I tested it on its own with my fourth of July makeup, (see here) and it was very black and fully opaque.
However, I do get a very deep black when I wear another eyeliner under it (I also have to use less) and it makes the other eyeliner last just as long without smudging.

Testing:
This eyeliner claims to be water-resistant, but not waterproof.

(1) Here, I just applied it, so it was still kind of "liquidy" and was catching the light more.
(2) In image two, I turned on my faucet and held my hand close to the nozzle and let the water run over the swatches for about ten seconds.
(3) This is the eyeliner after it was run under water and I dried it off.
(4) This the swatches after I used water once again and began rubbing it.


Pros:
▪ Very black
▪ Long wearing
▪ Non-watery
▪ Sleek packaging
▪ Secure closing


Cons:
▪ None as of yet.


 Do I recommend it? Yes!
Would I repurchase? Definitely.
Rating: 5/5
