Great kohl eye liner tip!!!

I just came across the greatest tip on Make Up Alley!

For all those super soft Kohl eye liners that are nearly impossible to sharpen...stick the liner in the freezer for a bit before you sharpen and voila! You will get a pointer tip and a lot less breakage!

MAC 219 Brush

I am so excited today because I have just added another brush to my growing MAC brush collection. I ordered the MAC 219 pencil brush online and Fedex delivered it today. So far I am thrilled with it. It is so versatile. It can be used on the inner v, the outer v, the crease, and to add a little sparkle to the tear duct. It can also be used to line the eyes top and bottom and it helps make a great smokey eye as well. So many great uses! I think it will become a must have brush for me.

I tried it out today with my Sephora Flashy khol eye liner. I dabbed a bit of eye liner along my bottom lash line and then, with the MAC 219, I smudged it out along the length of my lash line and it did a really great job! Can’t wait to try it out on my outer v and crease!

Sally Hansen Insta Dri Fast Dry Nail Polish

Check it out! Sally Hansen's Insta Dri Fast Dry Nail Polish dries in sixty seconds!

It really does work. It has an extra wide brush to help coat the entire nail in only one or two quick swipes, which I initially thought would be hard to work with, but it's not to bad. One coat, even in the dark red shade I applied, seemed to give good coverage. And in literally sixty seconds, with fresh bright red polish on my nails, I was able to do up the buttons on my white coat with no problems.

The lasting power is not nearly as good as regular nail polish. The Sally Hansen Insta Dri polish generally starts chipping within twenty four hours of application, but the trade off is an instant manicure whenever you need it...when you are running short on time, when you get a last minute invite out.

There is an array of great colors. I keep a couple in my desk drawer at work for days when I am feeling blah and want an instant color pick me up. I can paint my nails at my desk and be back to paper work and answering the phones in under two minutes. Can't beat that!
