Mini Haul & Revlon Matte Kohl Eyeliner FOTD
On a trek to CVS for black eyeliner I also stopped into Urban Outfitters to peruse their sales. I found no worthy sale items but did walk out with two UO nail polish shades: Green 1 and Black 1. Who knew there was UO brand nail polish? Once I paint my nails again I’ll let you all know how they perform. Yay!
So, at CVS they were having a Buy 1 Get 1 Free sale on all Revlon cosmetics. I figured that dishing out $9.99 for two Revlon Matte Luxurious Color Kohl Eyeliners in Black Truffle would be a good deal and also hoped that it would be just what I wanted – a deep black soft kohl liner to wrap my eyes for the fall/winter just as a soft jet black cashmere sweater does for the body. I love, love a sooty kohl black liner in the winter against frosted lips. That’s just my thing.

The liner goes on smooth but I had to apply two layers to get the “intense matte color” Revlon touts. It stayed put for about four hours but then started to fade. I really can’t think of any kohl liner I’ve ever bought that stayed on for longer than that (although MAC’s Eye Kohl in Smolder is a sootier black, thus more satisfying) so I suppose at the Buy 1 Get 1 price of two for $9.99 I’m okay with its performance.
I’m NOT okay with the fact that it feels like winter already outside here in the Midwest. Fall just kinda went outski as soon as the season changed and I’m already in my winter trench when I step outdoors. No bueno.
