i’ve been on a makeup kick lately, so i thought i’d share some of my most recent purchases with you!  nicole of fashion forestry recently turned me on to ysl lipstick.  i hadn’t bought myself fancy department store lipstick in a very long time, so i was beyond excited to discover these rouge pur lipsticks in le rouge, le fuchsia, and le orange. besides the fact that the colors are perfect, they glide on like a dream and are intensely moisturizing.  not to mention the classy packaging!

in terms of eyes, i’m loving my laura mercier undercover pot concealer and ysl touche eclat, which is basically a luminating highlighter.   when it comes to eyeliner, i’ve always done the basic black winged liner, and i’ve tried virtually every brand under the sun. i recently discovered this intensely long-lasting, waterproof eyeliner from mac called liquidlast liner.  the girl at the counter told me i could literally go swimming and it wouldn’t come off.  this is pretty awesome since i’ve always struggled with my mascara and eyeliner rubbing off onto the bottom of my eyes by midday. but beware, it’s a very thick and sticky formula, so you’ll need a very precise brush to apply without caking it onto your eyelashes in the process of application.
