Jesses Girl Liquid Liner...Dupe for Kat Von D Tattoo Liner??

I got a Jesse's Girl liquid liner in a recent Ipsy and was excited to try this bad boy out. I'm a huge fan of Kat Von D tattoo liner and was so hopeful that this drugstore find was going to be a dupe for it. It has some rave reviews online and great claims..."waterproof, smudgeproof, long lasting".  Well, I'll save you the excitement and drama...it ain't a dupe. In fact, the Jesse's Girl liner stinks!  The color transferred and broke up within an hour of applying it...to a primed eyelid, might I add.  Save yourself the money on this one, friends!!

YSL Black Opium

I was thrilled to see I qualified for the Influenster YSL Black Opium Vox...YSL is a fabulous luxury line and I couldn't wait to try this perfume. I have to admit, when I grabbed the box from my mailbox, I was disappointed in how light it was. I totally expected a generous sample given past brand boxes I've received through Influenster. What I found was a tiny little glittery black bottle with a circular cut out in the middle which allows you to see the perfume. The packaging was not what I expected from YSL. Honestly, the bottle is kind of cheap looking. A matte black bottle would've made a stronger statement, in my opinion. I pulled the lid off carefully...no atomizer on this sample and I didnt want to spill any. The scent is amazing. Bold, sexy and a great fall weather statement fragrance. Sadly, it falls short in terms of lasting ability. I put it on before work and couldnt smell it on me 15 minutes later when I got to my office.
I'd recommend skipping this perfume. It definitely comes along with the YSL price tag but falls short in being worth the price.
