LONG AND LASTING LINE

This will be in my list if (God forbids-knock on woods) I was stranded on a deserted island. L’Oreal Paris Super Liner 24H Waterproof Gel Eyeliner #01-Black. I remember one time, my makeup bag left out somewhere with my luggages in France and I have to sleep with my makeup on. When everything failed, this eyeliner really stayed on the entire night until I finally took it off. Very intense and bold black color, it glides on easily with my favorite eyeliner brush from MAC #266. It’s so easy to achieve a smooth line and dries in a zippy. My favorite, indeed. 

HOW MANY SHOULD YOU HAVE?

These are my brushes. Yes, I used them daily. All of them. Surprised? You shouldn’t. Personally, I think brushes are investment. Just like my bags. I cleaned them weekly with baby shampoo (trust me, it’s the best for brushes). Well, some makeup artist believe that using our own fingers are enough for application, but they never mention that you can use your fingers to blend, right? So using brushes for blending is super important. I love MAC, Bobbi Brown and The Body Shop brushes for its ability to match my needs so far. 

HOW MANY SHOULD YOU REALLY HAVE?

Lipsticks for women are like shoes and bags. We might have five black shoes and six black bags, and still wanting more. In my (lipsticks) case, I keep on stocking for more nude lips. Notice my little collection? There’s more than just one nude lipsticks, but at least I keep one red, one fuchsia and one shocking neon for that crazy night out and when I feel like I want out from my routine.
