EauMG’s 2017 Holiday Gift Guide for Niblings & Teens

December 12, 2017

Auntie Mame

Hug your Auntie! My holiday gift guides are back! And I apologize for the last minute of their arrival. The past few months are frankly wearing Auntie Mame down. But, after the holidays, I only have one semester of grad school left!

Anyway, back to the annual EauMG holiday tradition of gift guides. It’s better late than never, right? Previously I referred to this guide as the “Holiday Gift Guide for Sweet Nieces and Teens” but I wanted to find a word that was more gender neutral or… Continue reading | 2 Comments

Recently I ordered a few High Voltage Cosmetics Eyeshadow samples. I can not resist a BOGO! Here I am reviewing and swatching 4 Shimmery Eyeshadows in what I’m calling “romantic shimmer” shades. These colors are soft and pretty.

Milani Infinite Liquid Eye Liner in Endless Review

September 4, 2010

 

Milani Infinite Liquid Eye Liner is a long-wearing liquid eyeliner that comes in 5 shades. Milani claims that this liquid liner is semi-permanent (lasting up to 24 hours of wear), waterproof, and smudge and smear proof. Milani’s claims are true. I am reviewing the purple shade above, Endless.

The Formula & Wear: The formula is a thicker liquid in comparison to other liquid liners that I have used in the past (such as Lancôme Artliner or Almay Liquid Eyeliner). This isn’t a bad thing; I didn’t find it difficult to work with. I  find this thicker formula… Continue reading | 10 Comments
