I took a look at my collection of eyeliners and was completely uninspired. I had 4 black pencils, 2 brown pencils, 1 brownish-green and 1 silver retractable, and a  liquid liner in  purple.The only thing worth mentioning was my  +Lime Crime  liner in Milk. It's so awesome, I wear it alone. Click image to enlarge for detail.

Super exciting news: Make Up For Ever has come to San Jose!! There is a brand new and hot store in Valley Fair and you HAVE to stop in and meet Tobey ! She's a genius!!! After a tour around the shop I purchased the Extravagant Eyes set. A trial sized trio of Sens'Eyes , waterproof sensitive eye cleanser, Smokey Extravagant , a dramatic mascara and Aqua Eyes in Black, a water proof eyeliner.

I am the first to admit, I am not a huge makeup girl. I don't usually go gaga over cosmetics but I have really been into brights lately. I can't seem to get enough pinks, purples, oranges, blues and greens so when I received an email from Stila announcing a few new products, I found myself instantly smitten.

By now you know that I can not resist cosmetics when they are on sale. Not only is it extremely difficult to find makeup on sale when you do find it, it's not the 'good stuff'. Well, it is now!! I was introduced to Designer Fragrance & Cosmetic Co around 1999/2000 - a Lancome based outlet and the brands under the parent umbrella; YSL, kiehl's, Polo and Giorgio Armani Cosmetics to name a few. I've been lucky to score a few YSL items for as much as 70% off of full retail and this trip yielded a few scores too!

I was a lucky duck this Christmas, having scored what ended up being a HUGE haul!!!  I had a few coupons and some of the items were on sale so savings were as big as the haul!
