Blue Eyeliner! Who knew?

          I've tried many different color combinations of eyeshadow in my life. I mean, that's half the fun of eyeshadow, right? But up until a week ago, I had never tried anything other than black eyeliner. I mean, that's what really brings out all those colors right? Not to mention what it does for green/hazel eyes. Well, when I first signed up on Ipsy all I could do was read the main message board to see what I had JUST missed out on. (I signed up 1 week after they start charging people's cards for that month's subscription.) The rant and rave for June's Glam Bag? Nicka K Shimmer Eyeliner

          Now, I have never heard of this brand before but everyone was so excited to have received it. I searched for it at Target, Walgreens, CVS, publix; everywhere you could possibly think of locally with no luck. I sort of became obsessed with the idea of this pretty blue eyeliner and had to have something similar. I ended up coming home with this:


          I LOVE this stuff! 
          I try to wear it any chance I can. The difference between this product and the Nicka K that was in June 2014 Ipsy bag, as far as I can tell is that this is a mechanical liner whereas the Nicka product has a neat brush applicator. I originally thought that blue would have the least attractive look with my greenish-hazel eyes, so I was pretty scared to use it. When I put it on, I instantly fell in love but I am (like most people) very much a creature of habit and tend to stick to what I know and am comfortable with (another good aspect to the ipsy subscription). I had to force myself out of the house because I was afraid it wouldn't look as good to other people as it did to me. Much to my surprise, I received a lot of compliments and I loved this little baby even more. Best part of it? It is less than $7.00 for this stuff. This is good news considering I will be going through this pretty quickly!

Here are the end results. I have been trying to perfect the winged eye or cat eye, so please be kind in the fact that it's not perfect :)



This item gets an A+ in my book!
