revlon colorstay eyeliner in "teal"

did you know that revlon's amazing colorstay eyeliner is only $5 at walmart? i did not. i guess it's been a while since i bought one of these, even though i used to be obsessed. i wore the "black brown" like every day in high school...... why did i stop that again? i can't remember.

 

at first i didn't like this liner. i couldn't really get it right. then i realized it looks totally dorky unless the liner is very sharp. i lined my eyes almost all the way around, and i like how it brightens them up. this would be a great look for summer traveling, because all revlon colorstay products are the mother of long-lasting, and because it only took me one product for my eyes (not including black mascara, of course). oh yeah, and because the packaging is very travel-friendly. 

*note to self: take this with me to mammoth cave and dinosaur world next month!! woot!

the best eyeliner- for free!

Even though I keep reading that you're not supposed to line underneath your eyes, I've always liked it. It supposedly makes your eyes look smaller, but mine are so big that I don't think it matters. Plus I like that really defined look (smudgy/soft eyeliner.... not so much). Anyway, I seem to have a problem keeping it on that skin closest to my actual eyeball. Even with my waterproof eyeliner, it just disappears in an hour or so. So today, I tried dipping my angle brush in the extra black stuff that ends up on the end of my mascara wand, and applied it to that little part of my eyelid. And guess what? Hasn't budged all day. It works like liquid liner in that it's really dense and pigmented. And this is super cheap since I use Maybelline Great Lash every day. I may never waste money on super long-lasting waterproof eyeliner again.
