Product Recommendation of the Day










Smashbox Waterproof Jet Set Eyeliner applied with Smashbox #21 Arced Brush


I absolutely LOVE this eyeliner. The way my eyes are shaped, it is really hard for me to pull of a sexy, smokey eye without lining the inner rim of my eyes. The problem with that is almost every eyeliner I have tried (and trust me, I have tried a LOT of them!!!) smudges, runs, and wears off almost immediately after application.


One day I was watching Holly Mordini from Smashbox Cosmetics on QVC, and saw this eyeliner, which they said was MADE for the inner rim of the eyes. I thought that it was too good to be true, and decided to try it. I wasn't expectivg much, but I sure did get a lot. There is no irritation whatsoever, and the stuff glides on as smooth as butter. It stays put until I wash it off at night, even through summer heat and/or rigorous activity. I have even fallen asleep, and when I woke up, it was still perfectly placed.


The arced #21 brush makes application foolproof. It is shaped to accommodate your hand and the natural shape of your eye. You can't go wrong with application.


I have heard some people's complaints that it dries up very quickly and becomes flaky and hard to apply shortly after it is opened. I have found that, as long as you replace the lid tightly, this is completely untrue. One small crock lasted me over 8 months, and it went on just and smooth and easy from the bottom of the crock.


I will advise, in addition to making sure that your eyeliner is closed tightly, you make sure to wipe your brush after each application. If not, next time you use it, the brush will be very stiff, and you may injure your eye.
This eyeliner is not meant to be smudged, as the colors are very defined and the consistency does not allow it to smudge well in my experience. Also, I don't recommend trying to use it wet. The consistency is fantastic as is, and I recommend just using it straight out of the jar.


In conclusion, this eyeliner is long wearing, easy to apply, color intense, and all around glamtastic!

I give it 5/5 stars
