This may be a drugstore beauty product, but it is such a good, affordable find! Did you know that Nicole Kidman wore this eyeliner at the Golden Globes? This Neutrogena Precision Liquid Eyeliner is smudge-proof and made with ingredients that are gentle for your eyes. Can you ask for anything else? Even though it is a liquid eyeliner, it dries down quickly and won’t fade or flake. I wore it for the entire day and it was pretty easy to remove before the end of the night.

Yay! My favorite lipstick is back again. If you recall, Elson 2 was an ultimate must-have in a previous Accidental Beauty Blogger episode. And I am even more excited that it was recently worn by Priyanka Chopra at the Golden Globes. The actress and film producer got glamorous with three of the Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Labs Lipsticks — Vendetta, Elson 2 and Obsessed. I created my own custom lip color with Vendetta and Elson 2 and I think it turned out just as beautiful.

They do not feel heavy even though they may look like they weigh a ton. Just have your favorite lash glue handy!
