I Can't Stop Thinking About Urban Decay's 40-Eyeliner Vault Set

Y'all. The fact that Urban Decay created a 40-set vault of their phenomenal eyeliners (if there were somehow an appealing mix of butter and velvet, these would be that) exists has me fuhreaking out and obsessing on like a deep, emotional Sarah McLachlan level. Unfortunately for me, the set sold out in NINE HOURS, so I'll have to dry my first-world tears and console myself with my favorite Urban Decay eyeliner shade, Lucky.

Still, I'm having odd visions of myself worshipping this set, gently kissing it reverently like the Torah. It's like the Sistene Chapel of beauty products -- you never really fully grasp its magnificence until you stand in its presence. 

What? Don't act like you've never felt all spiritual about eyeliner. What? Don't even act like you're not listening to "Possession" for the fifth time in 30 minutes!

($18, Stila)

Run, don't walk, to get Stila's Kajal eye pencil in "Topaz," which is a matte peachy hue. Total eye brightening situation that does a fine job of offsetting dramatic lips, or un-dullifying otherwise sorta blah eyes. Like that? "Un-duliffying"?

I haven't tried it yet, but Stila's Long Wear Lip Color in "Darling," which is a golden champagne, looks amaze.

Now go make your lips look like this:

Binge Beauty Buy: Laura Mercier's Black Gold Kohl Eye Pencil

($19, Laura Mercier, Sephora)

Laura Mercier's kohl eye pencil in "Black Gold" is one of my favey fave new (to me) prodz. It's a really light, subtle eye enhancer with nary a trace of Scary Mary trannybot, which is good because it ain't that kinda party. It's more of a light brassy bronze than either black or gold, and while it's referred to as a kohl, you most defs won't be getting a Cleopatra eye out of this. Like I said: just nice-n-easy prettiness you could even get away with during the day. Like that?

Coincidentally, one of my new favorite videos is CALLED "Black and Gold," and it's by Sam Sparro, who uses his powers for sexy, not evil. It's like an updated Falco but hawter.
