Drugstore Deal

As much as I love expensive makeup, I also love nothing more than wandering the aisles of a drugstore and filling my basket with good deals.  This weekend, I discovered a buy one, get one half off sale on L'Oreal at my CVS, so I finally decided to buy something I've been wanting to try for awhile now - their HIP Color Rich Cream Eyeliner.  The shades come in a little container and sort of remind me of the Stila Smudge Pots (although I think the Smudge Pots are more gel based).  They're available in five colors - Black, Brown, Eggplant, Midnight Blue and Teal - and they go on smoothly and blend easily.  They do come with a brush, but it's not a great one, so you'll definitely want to use a better one to get the most out of the product.  I've been using it almost like a cream shadow on my lids too and I really like the way that looks.  It's pretty long lasting too - I've had it on the last three days and was pleasantly surprised by how little it wore away.  I bought the Eggplant and Brown shades (I was playing it safe) and now I kind of want to go back and get the funkier Teal as well.  Which really means that I'll get that and the Midnight Blue one too because of the sale.  (It would just be silly not to take advantage of that again, right?)  Best of all, they're only around $12 each, making them a budget alternative to more expensive brands.  Love the drugstore deals!

I adore this, just wish I had noticed the buy one get one half price offer!! Am still not brave enough to try it in any colour other than black, but I think I might experiment with egg plant next!
