Milani Products Have Arrived at The Dollar Tree On my most recent trip to the Dollar Tree, I spotted a few new Milani Products! They always seem to have old lip glosses and lip liners, but some new products including the much loved Shadow Eyez and the Runway Eyes Eyeshadows have popped up! And keep in mind at the Dollar Tree, everything is $1 or less!!!

Sephora Contour Eye Pencil in "Roof Top Party" I recently did a comparison post comparing the Sephora Contour Eye Pencils against the Ulta Gel Pencil Liners and decided to to a more in-depth review of the Sephora pencil in the only shade I have, which is 16 "Roof Top Party". Keep in mind I used this liner as an eye shadow base, not as a lash liner. So it may apply and perform differently in that case. Let's get in to the review!

I recently picked up the Sephora Contour Eye Pencil in the shade "Roof Top Party". A full review on this shade will be coming soon. But today, I wanted to compare this Sephora brand pencil to something similar offered by the Ulta brand, the Ulta Gel Eye Liner, mine is in the shade "Moss". Both are a khaki green shade. The Ulta Gel Eyeliners and the Sephora Contour Eye Pencils are both a very creamy eye pencil, similar to a kajal pencil. As a side note, I use these liners are a base for under my eye shadows not as a lash liner and I do apply a primer first. They both last about 10 hours before some noticeable creasing on the lid. Let's get started!

Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint I recently picked up the Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes in 01 "Bountiful Beige" at my local Younkers. These sticks retail for $17 (0.1 oz) and are available at your local Clinique Counter, Sephora , and the Clinique Website . Let's get in to the swatches!

I've tried quite a few different eye shadow pencils, crayons, smudge sticks, what ever you want to call them, and most of them are  from the drugstore. So here are my thoughts on the few I have and the ones I recommend and which ones I'd suggest leaving at the store. Let's get started!

NYX Glam Shadow Sticks Everyone always talks about the NYX Jumbo Shadow Pencils, well I hate those, and the color selection wasn't the exact shades I wanted. So I'm here to bring you my take on the NYX Glam Shadow Sticks! Let's get in to the review!

Right now Sephora is selling the Tarte EmphasEYES Waterproof Clay Shadow Sticks for $8 , regular retail value is $25 each. That's a 68% savings. I love putting down a base color before putting on any eye shadows, it makes them really pop. The colors available are Champagne (a shimmery beige), Moss Green (a dark olive green), Moca Berry (a dark reddened brown), and Charcoal (a sparkly dark grey). The Shadow Sticks are very pigmented and opaque, I highly recommend picking up these while they are still on sale. SHOP THE DEAL
