Most eyeshadows will melt away faster than an ice cube on a K Street sidewalk in August, leaving you with a nice little slick of goop right in the crease of your lid for the 6 hours remaining in your day.
Most eyeliner will dribble south of the lower lash border making you look like you came straight to work from the eye makeup remover free home of some dude you met last night at Town Hall, instead of the clean and sober girl that everyone knows you to be.
But with Bobbi's Long-Wear line, you can keep your squeaky clean reputation intact!
Or at least hide all of those indiscretions....
I recently picked up a second color of her Long-Wear Cream Shadow (the first being my fave, Galaxy) in Sand Dollar, a golden taupe color that makes me look polished but not made up. It can be layered with any number of other shadows for a more intense look, but with the nasty winter weather getting me down, I've been sticking with something simple.
The salesperson also used one of the Long-Wear Gel Eyeliners on me. I currently have two, but once I saw her little pot, I realized that it's time to throw mine away. Why? Because her's wasn't all dried up and cracked and dull looking.
Yeah, that's right, I'll admit it, I keep stuff way past it's prime. My fridge has mustards from the Clinton years and I listen to DMB like it's 1998. What up?
Anyhoo, she used the Chocolate Shimmer Ink, a dark brown shade with just a little shimmer. It was nice, but I think I prefer Espresso, which is a wee bit darker and minus the shim.
I also notice that Bobbi has debuted a new Bridal Look, complete with a kit to purchase which includes the Long-Wear Eyeliner. A handy gift for any bride you know who's registry is sold out of items under $100.
Speaking of which....any one have any recommendations for a wedding makeup artist in New York? Help a sister out!

Have you ever realized that when you buy readymade suits you get a choice of only a few colors & styles, also finding the perfect fit are quite difficult? Wouldn’t it be better to choose from over 2000 different British & Italian fabrics and get a tailor made suit at a similar price that you pay for readymade suits?
We are a company based in Hong Kong and have been providing custom made suits & shirts since 1997. With representatives in major cities around the globe we can arrange to show you the fabric samples and take your measurements, or you can also place your orders online with the help of our measuring guide. There are over 2000 fabrics to choose from along with all the latest styles.
All our suits and shirts are produced by highly skilled Shanghainese tailors in Hong Kong and delivered in about 4 weeks, express delivery can be made in 2 weeks at a minor extra cost. In case you are not able to find what you are looking for then please let us know your requirement may it be in words or by a photograph and we could arrange it for you.
We also have an outlet at the Hotel Intercontinental Budapest where you are most welcome to visit us. Though we are not located in streets like Savile Row (London), we have still been able to offer made to measure suits to many VIP’s from around the world.

Er. I will leave the suit discussion to Kenny Surtani and will talk about eyeliner instead. A makeup artist at the Chevy Chase Neiman Marcus said that the trick to keeping the gel eyeliners fresh after a loooong time is to minimize the time the cap is off and be sure to twist the cap tight after use. She said to use the end of your eyeliner blush to take a miniscule blob and put it on the back of your hand, then close up the pot again. You likely only need that much (or less) and you're decreasing the time the gel is exposed to air exponentially. I've found that, because my hands are dryish, the gel makes a stain on the back of my hand, but wipes away easily on the fleshy part of my palm, underneath the index finger. My pot is only slightly dried out after three years.
I wore the Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner on my wedding day and it was fabulous!! It was a warm September day and it really lasted - I highly recommend to any brides out there!!
Which Bobbi Counter do you frequent? I work at the one in Macy's Metro Center. I would love to meet you. In the meantime, check out my blog.
