Do you wear lip pencil or liner? Do you know anyone who does? Seems that pencil has fallen from popularity like pantyhose; no one wears it. But the lines still put them out here and there. And I don’t think I would have even tried this next one had I not received this one from TOO FACED in a gift bag at a party recently.
Even though it’s September, I’m still into the bright spike of color in my clothes or on my face and it seems the magazines are also into this. Here are some that are my picks in the teal/blue category.
From L to R in swatch photo:
TOO FACED Exotic Colors Intense Eye Shadow in Cop A Teal ($18 @ toofaced.com)
JK JEMMA KIDD Hi-Design Eye Color in Trend ($16 @ target.com or Target stores)
SEPHORA Crayon Jumbo Liner 12HR Wear Waterproof in Turquoise ($10 @ sephora.com)
POP BEAUTY Nail Glam in Jade Metal ($10 @ beauty.com)

Packaging is everything when it comes to beauty. If you have a female in your life that really gets into the whole process of beauty and makeup, why not give them TOO FACED Enchanted Glamourland ($49 @ sephora.com) this season. It’s everything they will need to create multiple looks, a $145 value for a lot less, and oh what fun this one is to open up and use. It’s like a fairy tale makeup book! It includes 15 high-pigment shadows, Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer, La Vie en Rose Blush, Snow Bunny Bronze and Glamour Gloss in Pillow Talk.

this week I’ve been putting TOO FACED Lip Insurance Lip Primer ($19 @
sephora.com) to the test with different lippies. But the ultimate test was with
a red lippie that is not for the novice! First, what exactly is Lip Insurance
Lip Primer? Well, you can pretty much guess from the name, it prevents fading,
bleeding and
creasing. And the results? It worked pretty darn well on every one
I wore it with but the toughest one? OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS’ Lip Tar in
NSFW ($12.50 @ occmakeup.com). This is probably the most difficult red I have ever encountered because
it is pretty liquidy, like more of a true stain, but this primer tamed it into place and kept it there. The
picture shown here is after 3 hours! The only thing I would recommend is to
apply the nude formula a little outside of the lip line since you will apply
the color to the edge of your lips. That way, it won’t bleed into any tiny
crevices around the lips.

Since I’m just about at the intermediate level of salsa and it gets really hot in the clubs, I need to wear makeup that’s not going to slid right off my face. And really, eye shadow seems to always be the first to go. was not kidding when TOO FACED named Lockdown the Ultimate Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow ($18.50 @ sephora.com). It’s their Shadow Insurance combined with colored pigment to make for a really un-moveable, un-smudge-able and un-crease-able cream. Choose from six totally wearable shades! Highly recommend the shimmering taupe of Bedroom Eyes and the shimmering soft pink of Prisoner of Love.

I met someone at a dinner party the other night and they asked me about my blog and some of the brands we write about. When I mentioned TOO FACED, they remarked that they thought it was a makeup line for young girls. Oh my ... no! Or if it is for females younger than I, the line has always had a place in my life and my routine. After all, it's how you wear the products, that matters, right?
And what better time than the fall to don their Starry-Eyed Liquid Eyeliner ($17.50 @ toofaced.com)? Each of the nine, not-for-the-faint-of-heart-but-certainly- not-child-like, shades help bring out your inner vixen. So choose from shades like the new Silver Lining (silver glitter) and new Gold Digger (gold glitter), or Obsessed Fan (green glitter), Drunk Dial (light baby blue glitter), Restraining Order (iridescent blue glitter) or Stalkerazzi (golden brown glitter). And because the glitter is in a liquid, it won't go south for the night and get all over everything. It really stays put for hours! So lift your glasses to give a hearty, "Salut" to these sexy liquid liners for all ages.
