Glitter & Gold Eyeliner

I pinned this pretty shimmery eye makeup "tutorial" on Pinterest awhile back, and it called for gold eyeliner.  I bought brown thinking it was basically the same thing (ha!), but it wasn't.  The eye thing didn't really work out anyway, but then a few weeks later I was thinking about the gold eyeliner again, and checked the options on Sephora.  I thought it could be a fun change from boring black, too.

First I found this pencil, which is the Pastel Pop Twinkle Light Eye Pencil.  This is the one I'm currently using.  It's not as thick as I would have liked, but it's still good.  Stays on all day, but I have to go over the same sections to really get the gold to show up.

At the same time, I also purchased this set (the Sephora + Pantone Universe Foiled Waterproof Eyeliner Set) because it had a good mix of colors.  I haven't tried these out in "real life" yet, but they applied much better than the one up above.  I'll be trying a couple of the colors out next week I think.

So I had both of these eyeliners in my possession and then I watched the BBC show Sherlock.  In the episode "A Scandal in Belgravia", the character of Irene Adler wears turquoise glitter eyeshadow with really red lipstick, and I loved the way it looked, so I was immediately back on the Sephora site looking for turquoise eyeliner.

I found this chunkier crayon, the Jumbo Liner 12HR Wear Waterproof eyeliner, that comes in many colors.  I was a little hesitant to buy it online without having seen the colors in person, so last Sunday we had some errands to run (and a gift card to spend!), so we popped into Sephora and I checked it out.  I ended up getting the Peacock Blue Shimmer, Purple Glitter, and the Beige.  These all applied really nicely and were thick and substantial.  Once I've given these a try, I may go back and grab the gold in this one too!

And just to throw one more in the mix - the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in the bright glitter pink is also quite tempting.  Although I still haven't forgiven Urban Decay for exploding liquid foundation all over my suitcase and ruining a new shirt, so we'll see!
