Milani Brown Liquif'Eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil

Milani Brown Liquif'Eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil ($5.49) is a matte, medium-dark brown. I consider it a rather neutral brown, and it's a great shade to use to define eyes for an everyday look. It's less dramatic and obvious than black eyeliner. I love the Liquif'Eyes for their creamy feel and...

NYX Paradise Nail Polish

NYX Paradise Nail Polish

NYX Paradise Nail Polish ($5.00) is a funky shade perfect for summer!  It's this blue-teal with flecks of gold-green shimmer.  I thought it'd be a nice shade to feature for the upcoming warmer, summery season :)
