Overall, I'm quite pleased with these eyeliners. The only problems I have with the studio liner is that it takes a bit of time for it to dry and the wand is a bit difficult for me to handle, but other than that I'm extremely satisfied with the pigmentation and the product itself. The crystal liner, I love! It definitely adds a little more 'omph' to your eye makeup and it's not too 'outrageous' for everyday wear. Overall, I like them and would consider repurchasing.

Ulta Haul

About 30 minutes ago, I decided to go pay Ulta a visit. Mainly because I really wanted to try Stila's new travel palettes.

I originally wanted the Rockin in Rio palette, but when I swatched the blue color it came out chalky and had barely any color payoff so that one was an immediate pass. Then, I saw it...the Stylish in Seoul palette. And before anyone says anything, yes, I am biased haha. My love for Korea definitely helped the impulsive buy. Also, to be perfectly honest, I really liked the colors in this particular palette. The shadows are right up my alley. It has a silver taupe, a muted brown, a matte purplish brown color, and pinky champagne colors. Along with a multipurpose lip and cheek color that does seem to look wearable. I do intend to do a full review of this palette with swatches in the near or not-so-near future.







I also picked up some NYX eyeliners: Liquid Crystal Liner in Crystal Silk and Studio Liquid Liner in Extreme Blue. You can also expect reviews for these items as well.
