5. Sephora Brand Eyeliner in Pure White

What else you need to know: Make impact with your eye look—this must-have comes in an amazing range of colors, for va-va-variety!
Bao’s Tip: White makes your eye color pop and eyeshadows appear more vibrant. Use on lids or lower lids (but not both at once).
Urban Decay Baked Eye Shadow – Perfect for Summer
I have a crazy and slightly unhealthy addiction for cute eyeshadow palettes. The good part of my addiction is that people know this and tend to buy me really cool shadow palettes from Sephora. The bad part is that I typically don’t end up using all the colors. My palettes always end up with the browns and golds nearly empty and the pinks and powder blues never being touched.
Today I came across a palette that had me completely mesmerized. With a range of golds, bronzes and eye-popping teal, Urban Decay’s Get Baked Eye Kit is a one-stop-shop for your summer peepers. Use “Baked” and “Flipside” together for a cute subtle daytime look and add “Twice Baked” for more dramatic nighttime eyes.
This cute palette comes with a travel-size Glide-On Eye Pencil in Bourbon. It truly glides on ever so smoothly and acts as a great lower lid liner. The set also comes wit a travel-size Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin. The greatest eyeshadow primer that will prevent creasing all day long.
Comes in a cute Pucci-inspired exterior, handy mirror on the lid and magnetic closure. Limited time only!

Best Liquid Eyeliner by MAC
The MAC PENULTIMATE Eye Liner is seriously the best liquid eye liner I’ve ever come across. I’ve tried the inexpensive liners from CVS to the super expensive liquid liners from Sephora and this is by far the best.
The tip of the penultimate is extremely fine and sturdy so you can line your eyes to your ideal thinness or thickness. It goes on really smoothly and totally reduces my eye-makeup time. It’s also very water resistant. This past weekend, I was doing some dishes and accidentally splashed a bunch of water onto my face but the eyeliner didn’t budge.
Loved it so much, I bought a second as I hear it’s a limited time piece. Go get one! $16.50 at any MAC location
