Blinc Tubing Liquid Eyeliner Pen is a liquid eyeliner that utilizes the same long-wearing technology that Blinc utilizes for their tubing mascaras. This liner glides across the skin effortlessly, creates a crisp cat eye, and stays put on me all day long. It is easy to remove using water with a cotton pad or a wash cloth, but you can also remove it in the shower. You can't, however, use a traditional eye makeup remover since those formulas are incompatible with tubing technology.
According to blinc,
A vegan and gluten-free liquid eyeliner featuring Blinc’s pioneering TUBING™ Technology, delivering ultra longwearing, jet-black, water-resistant color that stays flawless all day.
Features & Claims:
Jet-Black Precision: Creates a bold, intense color layer that enhances any look.

Healthier for Your Skin: Leaves no tint or residue behind, promoting better skin and eye health.
All-Day Performance: Designed for active lifestyles, providing long-lasting wear with effortless removal.
KEY INGREDIENTS:
Tubing™ Technology: Forms a water-resistant layer that adheres to the skin for superior durability.
Hydrating Polymers: Provide a smooth, even application without tugging.
Directions: Shake well before using. Use light pressure for fine, sharp lines while increasing pressure to create thicker, bolder lines. Always replace the cap tightly and store with the tip down when possible. Blinc Liquid Eyeliner Pen should be applied to clean and dry skin. makeup removers, water or pressure alone will not remove it. Only the combination of lots of water and gentle pressure from your fingertips, a washcloth or shower, will effortlessly peel the layer of color of your skin into your hand.
Overall Assessment: If you want a long-wearing liquid eyeliner that utilizes tubing technology, then the Blinc Tubing Liquid Eyeliner Pen is worthy of your attention. However, if you prefer traditional liquid eyeliners, that can be removed with eye makeup remover, then you probably won't be interested in a tubing liquid eyeliner.

Jane Iredale Mystikol Powdered Eyeliner in Onyx, which is a jet black water-resistant powder/cream eyeliner, is housed in an innovative pot with a long neck that stores a built-in brush. The liner has the texture of a gel eyeliner with a silky-smooth texture that glides across the skin effortlessly and deposits color evenly. You can use it as a shadow for an easy smoky eye, or as a liner for an effortless cat eye, but I have only used it as a liner. To line the eyes, I simply use the brush that is provided on its edge or tip, and it applies the liner perfectly. The tip is fine enough that it is easy get right into the lash line with ease. The flat sides of the brush, while not very wide, can be used to apply Mystikol Powdered Eyeliner to the lid as a shadow. The water-resistant formula offers long-wear without fading, creasing, smearing, flaking or migrating, but if you have particularly oily eyelids, you may want to use a primer.
According to Jane Iredale,
Create the sexy look you love with new improved Mystikol Powdered Eyeliners! The built-in brush makes a perfect line or smudged-out smoky eye. The powder/cream formula makes a shadow that won’t fade, crease or smear.

Since I was a teenager, I have always had a basic black and basic brown eyeliner pencil in my possession, and these are true staples for me because I wear them all of the time. In fact, sometimes that is all that I wear other than sunscreen and lip gloss. I have always sought a formula that is creamy enough to apply without tugging, that deposits color effortlessly and evenly–without skipping– and that neither transfers onto my eye lid, nor smudges everywhere. Kevyn Aucoin The Eye Pencil Primatif in Basic Black and Basic Brown do all of this, and they are waterline safe. Furthermore, there is a nice smudging sponge included if you want to blend for a softer look. These eye pencils are staples that deserve pride of place in your makeup collection– they certainly have achieved it in mine.
According to Kevyn Aucoin,
Line and define eyes with silky, dramatic shades and minimal effort. Define with rich shades for wide, gorgeous eyes. The Eye Pencil Primatif is formulated with silkening nylon-12 and botanically-derived waxes for soft, easy to apply shades. At one end, you'll find a velvety, sharp tip for lining the eyelid, lower lid or waterline. At the other end, you'll find a slightly tapered smudging tip for creating a sexy, smoky look. Snag- and skip-free, The Eye Pencil Primatif is the perfect tool for creating awe-worthy eyes.

Stowaway Cosmetics is an innovative makeup line that features products that are about half the size of regular makeup. That their products are diminutive in size not only makes them infinitely portable, but also about half the price of normal department store makeup. This indie line offers travel-friendly products that are made small enough to actually finish them up before they expire, and this paradigm shifting thinking is as economical as it is smart. Furthermore, Stowaway Cosmetics is a line free of Parabens and Phthalates, and is also Cruelty-Free and EU compliant.
About Stowaway Cosmetics,
Stowaway was born over breakfast (and too many cups of coffee), when Chelsa Crowley and Julie Fredrickson were comparing makeup bags and venting over never finding the cosmetics they loved in the sizes that better fit their lives. Both were frustrated by the large, heavy items that always expired before they were finished. Julie had what she liked to call a “free gift with purchase problem” and bought sets and subscriptions just so she could get to the sizes she preferred. Knowing they weren’t the only ones fed-up, they decided to create Stowaway. Luckily, together they had the perfect skillset to create a brand. Chelsa who began her career as a makeup artist, worked in-house at Clinique for many years and more recently worked on editorial and online content for Bobbi Brown. Julie spent her entire e-commerce and entrepreneurial career in digital marketing. They joke that they are the yin to each other's yang and came together to offer smart beauty solutions to women just like them.

While the coverage is buildable, I tend to prefer to apply less in order for my skin to show thorough. It perfects the appearance of the skin– while maintaining a very natural finish.
This multi-tasking BB cream moisturizes, primes, conceals, and visibly reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines. The best news? You don't need much for flawless skin and if you need a little extra help, add more for buildable coverage.

Stowaway Cosmetics Cheek & Lip Rouge in Peony ($15.00 from Stowaway Cosmetics): This multitasking pot rouge has a creamy consistency, it glides across the skin effortlessly, and deposits color evenly. It neither dries skin, nor does it emphasize fine lines or pores. Peony is a gorgeous mid-tone pink that can be sheered out for a subtle wash of color, or built up for intensity.

There is something inherently satisfying about being able to find high quality drugstore makeup brands that boast the performance, color saturation, longevity and high quality that is associated with department store brands, but at a fraction of the price. One of my very very longtime favorite drugstore brands is Rimmel London– to the extent that I routinely stalk their displays, and often pick up new finds.
Here are a few of my current favorite gems from Rimmel London that are perfect for the season:
This is my current favorite drugstore foundation because it offers medium coverage with a very natural finish. My skin looks and feels hydrated, smooth and glowing. Rimmel claims that it is "party-proof, transfer-proof and leaves you with flawless looking skin around the clock" and lasts up to 25 hours, and I agree with all of these claims, except that I can't verify the 25 hour wear-time because of my unwillingness to sleep in my makeup.
Lasting Finish 25 Hour Full Coverage, our first long wear foundation with comfort serum for feel good, flawless skin that stays put morning to night. Stay-true makeup applies smoothly and evenly, concealing dark circles and imperfections. Leaves skin looking flawless all day long. Transfer resistant for up to 25 hours. New skin-friendly comfort serum for instant hydration, lightweight and extra comfortable wear all day. Vitamin E helps provide additional skin barrier from free radicals.
Available Shades: Light Ivory (Shown), Classic Ivory, Soft Beige, Classic Beige, True Beige and Sand.
This lightweight and natural looking bronzing powder, with a waterproof formula, that gives you the perfect sun-kissed glow anywhere you desire a touch of color.
According to Rimmel London,
Year-round radiance. Fall doesn’t have to mean giving up the glow—you can maintain a sun-kissed complexion all year with help from Rimmel London. Whether you want a natural hint of healthy color or stunning shimmer, Rimmel London has the bronzer you need for non-stop glow. This natural-looking bronzing powder gives skin a warm glow the healthy way—without the sun’s damaging rays. The advanced formula combines the antioxidant properties of vitamin E with the moisturizing and soothing benefits of Aloe Vera for a weightless feel and flawless finish. Light reflective particles help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving skin looking gorgeous in any light. Available in three shades with a slight hint of shimmer, Rimmel London’s Natural Bronzer mimics the subtle yet sexy glow of sun-kissed skin—even after summer is long gone.
This is such a great eyebrow pencil and an absolutely unbelievable price. The texture is more creamy than waxy, and therefore doesn't tug at the skin, and it is very richly pigmented. It is perfect for shaping and filling in brows, and once it sets it stays put all day. Furthermore, it includes a very useful brow brush for taming and shaping, and it does require sharpening.
According to Rimmel London,
Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil is used to enhance and refine the shape of the eyebrows. It can be used to fill gaps or lengthen the arc of the brow to create the desired look.
Available Shades: Dark Brown, Hazel and Black Brown (shown).
Having already successfully experienced Rimmel London ScandalEyes Eyeshadow Sticks, I was looking forward to trying more shades, and Gold Digger and Paranoid Purple definitely spoke to me.
Rimmel London ScandalEyes Eyeshadow Sticks are waterproof and budge-proof eyeshadow sticks that are gorgeous, long-wearing, and come in a beautiful array of richly saturated hues.
Gold Digger is a beautiful and infinitely wearable warm shimmering gold that can be worn as a simple wash of color, or incorporated into a more ornate look. It also works beautifully as an eyeshadow base.
According to Rimmel London, the jumbo applicator, "creates a dramatic look in just one stroke." It can be used as both an eye shadow or an eyeliner, and the creamy application effortlessly glides across the skin depositing color evenly. The ultra creamy formula blends effortlessly and boasts a gorgeous long wearing and fade-proof luminous finish. I get all day wear without smudging, creasing or fading, but I do not have oily eyelids. I wear it without a primer, but if you have particularly oily eyelids you will definitely increase your wear time with a primer. I did not test their 24HR wear claims because I never sleep with makeup on, but I definitely found that the formula was waterproof and smudge-proof. This formula can be used an eyeshadow or eyeliner.
Rimmel's ScandalEyes XX-Treme Mascara is formulated for lashes with extreme volume and length without clumping. The dual impact brush captures lashes, and removes excess mascara to prevent the formation of clumps. I tend to avoid extreme lashes, but I definitely love the length and volume that I am able to achieve in a couple of passes without getting spider lashes.
According to Rimmel London,
Create your boldest eye look ever with revolutionary offerings from Rimmel London. First, go for 360-degree eye-opening drama with ScandalEyes XX-Treme Volume and Length Mascara. With an innovative dual-sided wand and a high-performance formula, the mascara delivers elongated lashes that demand to be noticed. Experience infinite lashes with extreme high-impact volume and dramatic length with this mascara that does it all. Rimmel’s ingenious two-sided dual-action brush visibly thickens, lengthens, and separates lashes for an eye-opening lash look. The arched side of the applicator contains tiny, two-pronged bristles to deliver maximum, quick-load volume, while the flat side has longer teeth to eliminate clumps and define lashes. From root to tip, even your smallest lashes will look curvaceous and bold.
Benefits:
Arched side: Volumizes and loads up lashes for xx-treme look
Flat side: Defines and lengthens lashes from root to tip
Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipsticks are enriched with Vitamins A. C and E to moisturize lips while providing rich pigmentation. The formula is ultra lightweight and glides across the lips effortlessly, and it deposits color evenly without feathering or settling into fine lines. It has the perfect amount of cushion, and the finish has a nice sheen.
Red Alert is an absolutely gorgeous blue-based red that is Valentine's Day perfect! I get a hours and hours of wear-time, and it fades evenly. It has a fragrance that lasts for a few minutes before fading away, but it doesn't bother me in the least. If, however, you are very sensitive to any scented lip products, you may want to smell it before buying it. That said, it fades quickly enough that it won't likely pose an issue for most people.
According to Rimmel London,
New and improved vitamin-enriched lipsticks leave your lips feeling drenched in moisture with intense colour. Never settle for dry, flaky lips or a timid pout with new and dramatically improved Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick.
