nopencileyeliner4 Eyeliners Without Sharpeners Life gets pretty busy, and I want things to be simple, effortless and easy with my makeup so I can go about my day. That’s why I have started to look for alternatives to eyeliner. Most eyeliners require constant sharpening, as you get the best look from a fine edge. But the sharpening and the clean up takes up time we don’t have. Having sampled a few sharpener-free eyeliners, here are two that I have come to love.

Chanel’s Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner lasts all night. It resists smudging and smearing, and since it rolls out, no need to sharpen– ever. The great thing is that it has a tip at the opposite end for you to do any touch ups throughout the night, though I have yet to need it.

Shiseido’s Accentuating Cream Eyeliner is also a phenomenal treat. It comes with an adorable compact eyeliner brush to give you more control and freedom to line your eyes however you want. This cream eyeliner can be applied to be as sharp as you want for a liquid eyeliner effect, to a smudgy, smoky look that is sure to drive men wild. It takes some practice to use it, but once you have the hang of it, the effects are amazing.

Give these two a try and let us know if you find other great eyeliners!

eyeshadow2 Do YOU Know Whats In Your Makeup?

Skin Deep is a website created by the Environmental Working Group that is a safety guide to cosmetics and personal care products. It looks at what ingredients are in the products and ranks how hazardous it is to our bodies on a 0-10 scale (10 being most hazardous). Caress body soap is ranked 6, which is a moderate hazard, Chanelâ€™s Precision Energizing Radiance Lotion is at a surprising 9, which means the ingredients are linked to cancer, developmental toxicity, and immunotoxicity. Even some of the products we personally use were ranked at 4 or 6, so coming across this site is a true eye opener. Check it out for yourself to see if the products you are using can be causing more harm than good.
