Victoria's Secret eyeliner


I have pretty sensitive eyes and absolutely cannot be stabbing them with a super hard eyeliner pencil and I seldom have the patience for a liquid liner. Victoria Secret's Very Sexy eyeliner pencil in Dark Chocolate is my absolute favorite because of it's creaminess, easy application and it doesn't smudge off from a long day of interning. One side is the pencil and the other is a smudging tip. It's smooth enough that you can spread it over the eye with the spongey side for a smokey look. :)

Available at victoriassecret.com for $10

Holiday faves!!!

The run-through for picking out holiday gift guide items was over three hours long! (A typical run-through for a normal story is usually around 20-25 minutes). It's kind of sad to see how many fabulous items just didn't make the cut, but here were my personal favorites!


Dior Holiday make-up palette $70
It has a mini Dior-Addict lipgloss, mini blackout mascara, as well as 6 really pretty eyeshadows, a blush and a shimmery powder. After you've put the make-up to good use over the holidays, you can pull out the products and use the case as a cute clutch!

Now available at: Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and Saks.

Juicy loves Sephora wristlet $78
Juicy Couture came out with all these limited edition make-up bags for Sephora. This $78 isn't just made for holding make-up, but it was certainly one of my favs. I love the design and the chocolately color! Some of the editors thought it might be too young-looking for most readers. I still dig it.

L'Occitane Provencal Travel Treasures $35

L'Occitane shea hand cream is your hand's BFF. I think it's the perfect little kit for when you're on-the-go or going on vacation and don't want to resort to the dinky shower stuff the hotel usually leaves you with. It's a $57 value for only $35 at Sephora. It comes with:
- 1 oz. shea hand cream
- 2.5 oz. shea body lotion
- 2.5 oz shea verbena shower cream
- 2.5 oz of both aromachologie shampoo and conditioner
- 3.5 shea lavender soap and bshea milk butter soap

Doesn't it sound lush?!
