L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes
Carbon Black
$8-9

I am IN LOVE with this mascara. It makes my eyelashes HUGE! I've never worn falsh lashes, I think it's a fear of glue being on my eyelid... but I've always wanted those huge, thick, long eyelashes and this mascara sure does the job! I normally put on about 1-3 coats for just a regular lash look, but for a more dramatic look, I use a few more coats. I love that you can just layer it on, and it doesn't get clumpy or gross looking. It's my new favorite mascara! Highly recommended for anyone who's wanting huge, beautiful eyelashes.



Urban Decay Little Sins Eyeshadow Primer Potion Set
Shades: Greed, Sin, Eden, and Original
$20-30 (I got mine on sale)

I was so excited about this purchase! I've been wanting to try these for so long! I hated when my eyeshadow would be in my creases or just off completely by the end of the day/night. This stuff says it's good for 24 hours, so I thought.. why not give it a try. I'm so glad I did. With these primers, my eyeshadow NEVER creases and lasts the entire day! After a few weeks of it working beautifully, I thought I'd really put it to the test. I applied only my eye makeup (minus mascara)at about 8:30pm one night when I was at home. I slept with it on, woke up and it was flawless. So I applied my mascara and the rest of my makeup and went to work. It was VERY hot out and even after sweating, when I got off work it was still perfect! We went over to a friends house that night, and didn't get home until almost 4am. My eyeshadow STILL had not creased. That's 31 hours of no touch ups, no reapplying, just perfect eye makeup. You cannot beat that. With these primers, you only need to use a SMALL amount. It doesn't take much, and you'll get a while out of the product. Well worth the money.

Greed is one of my favorites for if I'm doing a shimmering look, or want a summer-turning into-fall golden undertone. It's a shimmering, gold that could honestly be worn alone it's so beautiful. Original is good because it goes on clear, pretty much, and you can wear any colors of eyeshadow and it's not super glittery looking. Sin is kind of a rose/gold color, with shimmer and it's the one I have used the least... but it works just as well as the others, I just haven't used it as much. Eden is my other favorite, it's a beige/skin tone color, with no shimmer at all and I love it soooo much. Not only does it make a great eyelid primer, but it covers my dark circles under my eyes as well. I put a small dab under either eye, and use my finger to pat it/rub it in, then set it with a my Hard Candy Mattifying Powder.



Urban Decay's Naked Palette
$50
The Naked Palette has some of the most beautiful neutrals and shimmery shades I have ever seen! I absolutely love them. You can create soooo many looks with this palette. Smokey eyes, natural eyes, shimmery eyes... Just love it. HIGHLY recommend this palette. It is a definite MUST HAVE. You can buy it at Sephora, Ulta or online. I bought mine straight from UD's website. My favorite colors of the palette are Virgin (the first color on the left side), Naked (3rd in from the left), Toasted (4th in from the right), and Darkhorse (5th in from the right). Naked is not only a great lid or crease color, but it works perfect for filling in my eyebrows.
