Charming Tuesday: A Beauty Favorite & A Giveaway

Charming Tuesday Product of the Week: Eyeliner

Samantha’s Must-Have:

I have been using Maybelline for my eyeliner since I was in college, and I love it. It seems every time I try a new one, I find it to be amazing. I have tried and would recommend the Unstoppable, Define-A-Line, Line Stylist, and Studio Master, and I think you could be happy with any of them! Maybelline is the only eyeliner I currently wear, and I love trying their new products!

 

Sara’s Must-Have:

On most days, I typically don’t wear eyeliner. For some reason, eyeliner to me is more of a “going out” product and I simply save it for nights out with the husband or a girls night. So, my eyeliner tends to be a little more dramatic than most. For years, I stole my mom’s black Estee Lauder eye pencil, but once I moved away from home, I needed to find something else instead of always relying on my mom’s favorite products. So, for quite some time, I experimented with different eyeliners and found that they never went on quite like the one I was used to wearing. Then one day, I stumbled upon the Bobbi Brown makeup counter and tried out their Long Wear Gel Eyeliner and was hooked instantly. The color goes on fluidly, lasts ALL day, offers a dramatic punch of color, and really just works. My favorite by far is the Violet Ink since it really makes my green eyes pop.

Beauty Review: Maybelline Define-a-Line Eyeliner

Maybelline has been my go-to makeup line for the last few products I have bought, especially when it comes to eyes. Recently, I picked up their Define-A-Line eyeliner, and am very impressed by the results. The first thing I noticed with this eyeliner was how smooth it went on. No hard pressing, no going over the line multiple times, just one swipe and I get a perfect line. The second thing I noticed was how long lasting it was. This eyeliner stays on from when I first apply it in the morning, all the way until I take it off before bedtime. My only complaint is a very common one with eyeliner that is applied to the upper lash line: it smudges above the eye. A few times a day I have to wipe the smudged liner off, but it comes off quickly and easily, so it’s not too terrible. The liner also comes with a built-in smudger, so you can easily have a more relaxed look if you choose.  Overall, I really love this product and will definitely be buying it again. I think the next mascara I will try will be Maybelline’s Define-A-Lash Lengthening Mascara. Crossing my fingers for the same great results!
