WHAT IS YOU CURRENT FAVORITE EYELINER?

   BLACK,BROWN,BLUE & TURQUOISE
I recently purchased the AVON Dual Ended Eyeliner in BLACK/BLUE. I never really used it because I was in love with MILANI's liquif'eye metallic liner, but I saw on a you tube turorial how blue liner looks so nice on the waterline and I pulled this one out to try it since it is the only blue liner I own. Well I fell in LOVE this blue liner looks so nice with most of my looks. It stays on pretty long  and the blue is just so vibrant. So I wanted to order more and they were discontinued :( Fortunately my sister in law who is a AVON Representative showed me her book and they were on sale on the outlet book for $1.79 so I stocked up on every color they had. So my current favorite eyeliner is this one.
So what is Your Favorite Liner?

I really love this pallete very much, and I have already hit pan on my favorite shades. If any one can help me in finding a Dark Brown just like the one on this pallete I'd really appreciate it.
This is Dark Devotion and I use it to fill in my brows, I really like it and I'm almost out of it :( If any one knows what color from MAC's permanent collection is almost the same or close to this one, Please HELP!!!
Thanks!!

e.l.f's MAKE-UP TIP FOR BLEMISHES & BURNS

HONEY REMEDY FOR BLEMISHES & BURNS
Use Honey to get rid of a bad blemish.
Apply it on the blemish and cover it overnight.
The reason this works is because honey is antibacterial.
Honey can also be used on a burn to prevent it from turning into a blister.

Thanks e.l.f for the tip!!!

WALMART HD BRUSHES

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THESE BRUSHES AT WALMART AND LET ME TELL YOU THEY ARE VERY GOOD IN QUALITY FOR A VERY LOW PRICE.
QUALITY: VERY SOFT, DENSE, GOOD PRODUCT PICK UP AND GREAT IN APPLYING PRODUCT. IF YOU LIKED ECOTOOLS BRUSHES THESE ARE THE SAME IF NOT BETTER.

TIP FOR YOU: I ALSO BOUGHT THE HD ANGLED CONTOUR BRUSH SEPARATELY AND THAT ONE SEEMED TO BE MORE FULL AND DENSE THAN THE ONE IN THE SET. IT WORKED AWESOME WHEN I USED IT TO APPLY MY LIQUID FOUNDATION.  I USUALLY APPLIED MY LIQUID FOUNDATION WITH ECOTOOLS KABUKI BRUSH, WELL THIS ONE HAS TAKEN OVER. (I STILL LOVE ECOTOOLS KABUKI THOUGH)
ANYWAY HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL!!
TILL NEX TIME..

PLEASE HELP ME BUILD A MAC BLUSH PALLETE

I REALLY WANT TO BUILD A MAC BLUSH PALLETE BUT IM NOT SURE OF WHAT COLORS I SHOULD PLACE IN IT. I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A PALLETE WITH COLORS THAT CAN FIT ANY SKINTONE.
CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE HELP ME OUT?
MANY THANKS!!
