a few VIPs

i have a lot more than these items in my arsenal, but these are the VIPs (very important products) that i couldn't possibly live without! i get crushes on things, and trends come and go, but i use these almost everyday.

-Diorshow Black Out Mascara-this would be my only mascara if it came in waterproof! It thickens, lengthens, curls, and your lashes almost look wet. it's buildable, which means you could keep coating it on as much as you'd like. amazing stuff, and i almost didn't buy it because it's not waterproof. it still stays pretty well, and never flakes. but when i need waterproof mascara, i pick...

-Diorshow Waterproof Mascara in black. does what blackout does, but the color is less intense. it's also less buildable, but just a few coats still does the trick.

-Lancome Cils Booster XL. if you put this under blackout, you won't need fake eyelashes. your lashes will be unbelievable.

-Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. i have oily eyelids, so i need something that makes my eye makeup stay put, and this does it. my eyes look the same at the end of the day as when i first applied. no creasing, no sliding, this stuff is my lifesaver. it's pointless to spend any money on eyeshadow if it won't stay on, and this stuff makes sure my money's not wasted.

-Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eye Liner in jet black. i was nervous because it's not a pencil. it's cream liner you put on with a brush, but it's not difficult to master. i use this almost every day, and it does not budge. cry, sweat, do whatever you want, but this stuff is on your eyes until you take it off, and i love that.
