Oh, to be a beauty junkie!  The addiction to try and buy new products just never ends for us.  While browsing at the candy land that is bluemercury's new location on the upper west side in Manhattan, I decided to purchase Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in "Black Ink".  I always line my eyes with a liner brush using any black eyeshadow I have handy and I never use pencil.  However, I've been wanting the precision and boldness of a pencil without having to use a pencil, and what better than a gel eyeliner?

As of late, I've been enjoying the more natural side of beauty by not using bold eyeshadow and cheek colors.  I've been using Bare Escentual's bareMinerals Soft Focus Glee All-Over Face Color on both eyes and cheeks because it is absolutely perfect for this natural look I'm talking about.  This pale pink shade is excellent for accentuating these important features of my face, all while keeping things simple and fresh looking.  But I don't want to look too simple, so that's where Bobbi's Gel Eyeliner comes in to emphasize my best feature!

This eyeliner is very intense.  I only dab my Trish McEvoy Precise Eye Lining brush into the pot once and very lightly, and that is enough to get both the top and bottom lids done.  I think $19 is a great price for a product that has such good pigment quality and requires a very little amount to create the effect of outstanding eyes.

The Gel Eyeliner comes off with a waterproof make-up remover such as Lancome's Bi-Facil.  NEVER, EVER scrub your eyes with your cleanser to remove make-up, especially if you have waterproof products on.  I always take a cotton ball and some Bi-Facil and remove before I wash my face.  Eyes are a super delicate area that start showing signs of aging first.  So take care of them!



Bobbi:  MUAH!  Thanks for creating such a great gel liner.
