Lately, it seems like every cosmetic company is promising that they have "the blackest" eye liner EVAR!! And me being the curious little makeup junkie that I am, I tend to wanna try all of the "blackest" eye liners ever made -- but at a moderate pace. I'm in no real hurry because I've been more than satisfied with my Urban Decay 24/7 eye liners for years, however this Too Faced Liquid Lava Matte eye liner was on sale so I had to pick it up. It retails for $16.50 and comes in a short 0.11 oz stick that is about as tall the average middle finger.

I should've posted this BEFORE the maintenance took place (don't hate me), but we're doing a bit of heavy-duty work around this splendiferous lil beauty blog. Much needed "can no longer wait" kinda maintenance. First major headache was just moving this site to a brand spankin' new host and speedy server. I am just about moved all the way in, the only issue to tackle now is email. If anything else acts funky, they're just aftershocks and should be fixed soon. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, or depression due to my site being down for almost 4 whole hours (LOL!). I'm hoping that all of these unexpected kinks we're experiencing here will assure a better situation for the long haul. Thanks for all of the continued support -- and patience ;)
