Just a few Gel Liners!

Clinique Brush-on Cream Liner in True Black -

The hype around this product is appropriate. It is so much more wonderful then any Stila Smudge Pot (and I'm willing to guess... MAC Fluidline). It's super slick, but when dried, absolutely DOES NOT budge. It stands strong through tears, sweat, allergies (i.e. itchy eyes), and tossing and turning around a pillow (I was dead tired a couple nights ago and couldn't bring myself to remove my makeup, terrible, I know). Also, contrary to what the swatch below might perceive, it is jet black, and stays jet black pretty much until you take it off. The swatch really reflects the blue liner's true color more than the black, but I figured you all know what black looks like...

Sephora Brand Waterproof Smoky Cream Liner in The Deep End -  

This review is actually just more so that a swatch of it is now floating around somewhere, for someone to find if they need it. It is nothing special, but definitely nothing bad. It is waterproof, and easy to apply, but doesn't have that 'special something' that the Clinique gel liners seem to have. I'd definitely recommend this though for the $10 price! It's a fun thing to have.

Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Pure Sparkle Powder

(please excuse the liners that snuck their way in there!)

Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Pure Sparkle Powder -

"Get Ready to Sparkle!" ;)

The Sparkle Powder is an extremely finely milled pink shimmer, and un-like any shimmer-type powder I've used before. It doesn't leave you with that tacky shimmer finish that a lot of them do, but more of a sexy, 'wet shimmer'. It's hard to describe, but literally changes my mood when I put it on. I'd go swatch this bad boy for yourself! Really...

And I think Tarino Tarantino + and creative team got the packaging oh so right for this product. As Muse said below, it comes in a heavy glass jar, no sticker labels in sight (except for the bottom one, but that doesn't really matter, does it?), and the product is surprisingly easy to apply. The bit above the sifter is deep, so you dont get a puff of shimmer the minute you open the jar up, and the sifter alows the product to come out easily, but not in an avalanche sort of manner. 

P.S. - ("The Muse" has a pretty great post on this product though, view it here, with a nice swatch picture! And she said it right, "...comes in an elegant heavy glass jar and is quite vanity worthy." It really is.) 

And I mean... look at this hot mama!?
