Smashbox: Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner


This innovative gel-based waterproof liner stays blendable for 60 seconds then dries to a smudge-proof, budge-proof finish that lasts all day. JET SET is perfect for lining the inner rim of the eye or as a stay-put traditional liner. Glides on effortlessly with ARCED LINER BRUSH #21.

I have it in Dark Brown and Midnight Black. It really is waterproof!!!

Smashbox: Arced Liner Brush #21


Apply liner like a pro with the best-selling precision brush. The same brush head as the popular EYE LINER BRUSH #8 with an ergonomic bend to conform to the shape of the eyes, providing better control and flawless application in one quick, easy stroke. Use it to apply CREAM EYE LINER, JET SET WATERPROOF EYE LINER, or any EYE SHADOW along the lashline and inner rim.

It truly is one of the best. No more pulling near the eye area!!!

Tarte: Powder Bronzer


We know… it’s so hard to attain the sun-burnished glow of the girl who summers on the East Hampton-Palm Beach-St. Bart’s circuit. This luxe bronze comes pretty close: just add pearls and a sweater set for instant uptown chic.

I bought this bronzer because of the packaging. It is really unique and makes you really want to add that to your make-up bag. This bronzer actually gives a golden glow which is great for the summer.

Looks like you got lots of Vitamin D =)

Tarte: t-zone travel


Shine control to go! Oil: it’s a girl’s dirtiest little secret. No one wants to get caught with even the teensiest hint of a sheen (or worse, all-out shine).

The solution? Hiding the evidence, of course. T-zone travel gives you two ways to send shine undercover: First, use the (tiny) blotting sheets for quick touch-ups then dust on mattifying powder* to tone down future glare. And no need to worry about being obvious…with a compact this inconspicuous, your secret will always be safely stashed away.

I find this product ok. It's a really white powder once you put it on. You look almost ghostly. I still like the MAC Blot Powder better.

I only tested it out because their bronzer was really nice.

MAC: Fluidline


Fluidline’s gel formula provides the precision of a liquid liner with a silkier, softer finish. Goes on “foolproof” with a brush in an easy dip-and-stroke action. Long-wearing. Smudge-proof.

I discovered this last year. It comes in a variety of colours but I only have a select few.

- Frostlite
- Dipdown
- Brassy
- Blacktrack

Benefit hoola: a natural bronzing powder


This soft bronze matte powder gives your complexion a healthy, natural looking tan. Dust it lightly across cheeks, chin and forehead to bring the warm tan of the island to your skin and spirits. Use hoola for a year round healthy tan.

Tips and tricks: On darker skin tones, use the fantail brush to apply all over for a medium to deep tan look. On lighter skin tones, use the slant powder brush to contour cheekbones, jaw line and down the center of the nose.

This is actually a really good bronzer that my sister had to get one too.

Kiehl's Sun Free Self Tanning Formula


This lightweight, non-greasy self-tanning formula glides on easily for long-lasting, natural-looking color. This unique lotion is instantly absorbed, leaving no streaking or splotchiness, as its tanning action begins to work within an hour of application.

Recommended to everyone by me. It gives you a golden bronze colour all over. It is great right before any big event that you are attending.
