awesome eyeliner and instant tanner

[workout junkie]

Just want to share my recent beauty finds.

Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner has been around for a little while, but she came out with some new shades in July which made me finally try them.

I bought Graphite Shimmer and Chocolate Shimmer. I love them! Just a hint of shimmer to add some sparkle to your eyes, beautiful color, long-lasting, easy to apply. I'm glad I finally tried them. Rather than buy the brush she recommends, I asked if they had a smaller travel version and she gave me a little one free.

Also, Philosophy's The Big Skinny is a great instant tanner. I haven't gotten much sun this summer and I've been lazy about applying my self-tanner, so I tried this to give my pale arms and legs some color. Great natural color, doesn't wear off on clothing. Much more convenient that self-tanners.

I'll check out the eye liner. I've been using Smashbox cream eyeliner. I really like it, but I'm a sucker for something new!

Yes, I love Bobbi Brown gel liner. I must have about 5 of them. for us older women, the non-shimmer colors are fabulous.I line my upper lid with the gel and the lower with an eye pencil.Do you line your lower lids with the gel eyeliner also?

Hi Susan,

I use the Smashbox cream eyeliner in black, but have had bad luck with any of their other colors. I've had a brown, a bronzey shade, and a blk/brn duo and all the colors but black dried out quickly. Their consistency was never the same as the black to begin with. So I decided to try Bobbi Brown for some variety. I think you'd like it!

Hi Lisa,

I've only used the gel liner on my upper lid so far, haven't been lining my lower lid lately, I guess because it's summer. In the fall, I'll probably try it on my lower lid too and see how it works. Maybe if I go back to the Bobbi Brown counter (to get this pretty Peach eyeshadow I think I need) I'll ask the make-up artist what they recommend for the lower lid. Your idea of using a pencil on the lower is good - what brand do you use?

Hi Melissa,

I like MAC eye kohls.

Thanks for the MAC recommendation. Have you by any chance tried their longwear lipcolor?

This morning I tried lining my lower lids with the gel eyeliner and it worked great. I did it after the upper lid without applying more product, and smudged it a little before it dried and it's still looking good. I'm still really impressed with this product.
