Eye See a Pot, See a Pot, See a Pot

Eye pots happen to be one of my favorite eye makeup beauty items. The gel based formulas provides multiple uses and I use this product for all three of its benefits. Eye pots can be used as a great base for layering your dry eyeshadow to intensify the color, can help easily create a smokey look, and can be used as their initial purpose for eyeliner.

BEAUTY TIP: IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO BUY EYE POT THEY'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE SHELVED WITH OTHER EYELINERS.

The Cheapies:
It's so great that many drugstore brands have been increasing the quality of their products by constantly staying up to date with new beauty trends. On top of that the products are not only on point with the trends but, they are really good quality
at a cheap price as well.


Maybelline EyeStudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner $6-10

Comes in four incredible colors (black, brown,gray, and plum), is smudge proof and water resistant, and last for 2 hours. It even includes a really good quality eyeliner brush with each of the eye pots.

L'oreal Paris HIP Studio Secrets Professional Color Truth Cream Eyeliner $12

L'oreal offers five shades in this line which are a part of their new Studio Secrets Collection (stay tuned for reviews on the Studio Secrets Collection). The colors are black, brown, navy, teal, and deep purple. I happen to love the consistency of the product but, not the brush that it comes with. I purchased the navy and deep purple, and each eyeliner brush was different. One was to flimsy and the other was two stiff, so I gave up and used my own eyeliner brush. I probably just got defective boxes, because it is a really good product and actually lives up to the hype of being long lasting, with deep pigments, and easy to remove.

Sephora Brand Collection$10

I haven't tried this new product from Sephora yet, but I am looking forward to purchasing it for a review since it claims to offer a lot of beauty benefits. It's rich in antioxidants, it comes in ten shades with very cute names(my personal favorite Bewitch Witch Me- a metallic deep purple)  offers a variety of textures from matte to shimmer, and is a waterproof formula.

The Luxury

Stila Smudge Pots $20
sephora.com

MY FAVORITE PRODUCT in my personal beauty box. I own this eye pot in black, brown, and bronze. It's incredible. It lasts forever, doesn't irritate me, offers rich color, and "smudges" perfectly for a smokey look. I discovered this brand one day while shopping around in Sephora, when I noticed that the sales clerk had the most beautiful dark Cleopatra eyeliner look going on. Naturally, I stalked her life and demanded that I have a lesson on how she achieved such a look and all the products that she used. I braced myself to be told that she used at least a minimum of five different eye products and ten different brushes; but, I was shocked when she walked over to the Stila counter and handed me a miniature jar of magic. Even better she gave me my lesson, then proceeded to tell me that the gel formula  dries quickly, comes in eight shades, and has a a million multi- functions.
