Neutrals Can POP Too!

Thursdays are always painful for me, I have to be at work at 7:30am and I'm a night owl who does not like to hoot that early (unless I'm still up from the night before). Needless to say, my thursday makeup tends to be subdued. On these days my primers make the most of what my sad tired face has to offer and gives me the optical illusion of rest. On days like this, I'm uber grateful for the one type of spackle that I actually put on my face on purpose, and that's Laura Geller Spackle Trio Primer , which rocks. You got your face primer, eyes and lips all in one handy dandy jar, and a perfect little mirror to boot. This is also a travel essential  since you don't have tubes to explode or leak and you have everything you need in one place. Love it!

which really vavooms out your mascara making your eyes look more vivid and awake. Just be careful to coat your lashes evenly so that the white primer doesn't show through! It doesn't seem to have the curling effect that Lancome lash booster has, but it most certainly thickens those puppies! I recommend using a lash comb to get any stray sticktogethers.


Man, I love these eye pencils! They do create a thick line, but they are creamy as a baby's bottom and they DO NOT run all over your face. They are water resistent, but come off easily with cleanser. The color I love most is the tanzania for my green-blue eyes because the brick shimmer makes me eyes stand out. I wouldn't use this liner if you're going for wacky eyemakeup, because this seems to stand best with earth tones. Oh, and it has a built in smudgie!

Yeah- what they said. Seriously. This stuff rocks.



This is not a self sharpening pencil, and unfortunately it is a bit of a bugger to get a good point on, but it's a lovely color that works well with everything from berries to plums to browns. It blends well with whatever lipstick color you opt for and keeps a good smooth line that lasts all day.
