Pixi Lid Last Shadow Pen - Graphite Glint

The chubby pencil makes putting eyeshadow simple. One swipe provides full coverage in one single squiggle.  The Graphite Glint is a soft gray and doesn't look anything like the color in the tube, which is much darker.The creamy eyeshadow leaves a soft sheen. The only thing I don't like is that I can't find a sharpener to use and the closest Target to me is 4 hours by train. I am just going to take a knife to the pencil and carve it out. Very classy, I know. Maybe I will use the sharpener as an excuse to visit Target and pick some more goodies.

Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color - Graphite Gravity

I bought this nail polish awhile back and swatched it but never uploaded it. Talk about being a great beauty blogger! I came across the photos and thought I should upload it, although the magnetic trend is not as "cool" or "new" now. This nail polish was simple to use, first swipe on coat and let dry and then swipe another coat over one nail. Then using the built magnetic on top rest the guide [the small ridge] on top part of your nail. After 10 seconds or so, remove the magnet cap and you should see a design. I also tried experimenting with the wait time and angles to achieve new looks. A word of caution, I thought applying the second coat to all the nails and then using the magnet would save time but the polish still has to be wet for the magnet to work. My qualm with this nail polish is the glue holding the magnet in place is dingy and the magnet fell off during my second time using the nail polish. Whoever said beauty ain't easy, got it so right.
