Hourglass 1.5mm eyeliner review

I don't really know how I happened upon the Hourglass 1.5mm eyeliner but I'm so glad I did.






I mainly use it for tightlining (lining the upper waterline) but on occasion it works great for a small kitten flick. I have read that there is not a lot of product so I try to keep this liner for small jobs. The gel formula is creamy and doesn't pull at the skin. Tighlining is awkward business to begin with so the fact that I can just run it across the skin with minimal effort is great. The liner just gives me that extra touch of fullness at the lash line, all the while thinking about how Elizabeth Taylor never needed to bother with this extra step due to her natural extra row of lashes. The best part is that it doesn't transfer to my lower lashes. It generally stays put for a number of hours thanks to it being waterproof.  I will definitely be purchasing again when I run out.

Hello and Welcome!

Hi! My name is Elizabeth and this is my first foray into the blogosphere. The Internet can always use a few more pennies so I thought I would add mine. I have had an obsession with makeup since I was in high school. As with all experimentation, some of it was successful, some was not. My eyebrows in particular were always a work in progress. I do shudder when I see a photo of my teen self with eyebrows so heavily drawn in, like angry slashes. But with practice I finally got them looking pretty alright. So flash forward to today, and while I still love makeup, as I have gotten older skin care has become an obsession as well. This will be a place for me to share my thoughts, likes and dislikes, about the products that come across my path. I would love to hear other people's experiences as well so please do leave comments. Alright, let's get started!
