Staples, Staples and Staples.

So lately I have been trying to limit my makeup purchases to staples. Good colors that can be used a multitude of ways.



So with an Ulta coupon in hand I picked up Black Bean from NYX.

I see this used time and time again in YouTube tutorial videos and on plenty of blog tutorial post too. 

Its number 601 and for some reason I have had a hard time finding at Ulta whenever I happen to be in the store and remember to look for staples!

I am guessing that it is because so many people keep picking it up.

The pencil kinda gets me.  I don't like that you have to sharpen.  I would much rather see a twist up.  Since the formula is so cream I can just see this being a mess in the sharpener.  What I usually do with eye pencils that are really creamy is throw it in the freezer for about half an hour or so then sharpen them.  Or a wait get a couple and do it on a weekday night so they are all good to go.  This also makes me use my other colors that I sometime neglect when using my standbys all of the time!

For as cheap as this product is I was surprised how pigmented the black actually is.  Its a good product but does crease.  You have to set it with shadow or this will turn into panda eyes without a doubt!

Thanks for looking!!!

I hope you find all of your wishes!

So you want to get Naked?

I would love to get the Urban Decay Naked Palette. At the price tag of $44 and its been out of stock every time I hit up my local Sephora.  Luckily NYX has come to the rescue with a comparable dupe palette.

Its a great price point at $11 bucks at Ulta.  Some of the mattes are a bit chalky but for the price you can't beat it.  I like the small size of the palette too.  It fits in easily to my purse and has helped me out in a pinch more than once.

Thanks for Reading!
