My friends at BeautyStat.com asked me to review this ultra fabulous new eyeliner by Laura Geller and I was more than happy to take them up on the offer. I’ve always loved Laura Geller’s baked products, so I knew the eyeliner would be just as amazing.

This stunning liner duo comes with a matte black shade as well as a rich purple. These look gorgeous alone, or layered over one another for a more intense effect.

I had to get an up-close shot of these because I love them so much. Especially the purple liner, since the color is so multifaceted. If you look closely, you can see little flecks of pink in the gel.

The cap to these liners is absolutely genius. As you can see, it comes apart revealing a small, fine tip brush that can be used to apply the eyeliner. I love this since it eliminates the need for me to carry yet another brush in my makeup bag.

If you need a longer handle, you can even put the cap back together to make a full sized brush.

This is by far the best gel liner I’ve ever used, and once these are done I absolutely plan on repurchasing this. It’s long wearing, fabulous and it doesn’t irritate my eyes when I use it for tight-lining. It’s not available in stores just yet, but you can get it on QVC for about $30.

It’s hard to believe today is the first day of 2012. I was just getting used to writing 2011 and just like that, it’s already over. Looking back though, I have to say that 2011 was really good to me. Despite a few minor bumps here and there, the year was pretty close to perfect. I have a great job doing things I only dreamed about in college, my website and YouTube channel are doing well and I’m surrounded by wonderful people who fill every day of my life with laughter.

I got to attend glamorous beauty industry parties, meet fascinating people and try the most amazing beauty products. I have a ton of subscribers, readers, fans and friends from all around the world. And I have it all because of YOU, my amazing blog and YouTube subscribers. None of these amazing things would be possible without the endless amounts of love I get from you all, and that’s what I am most grateful for. Thank you all for helping me make my dreams come true. There is still much work to be done and many more dreams to achieve, but it’s your support that keeps me going day in and day out.

I’m so excited to see what 2012 has in store, and I’m even more excited to have you all with me every step of the way. Thank you for everything, and may 2012 bring you all endless peace, love, happiness and more blessings than you can count ♥

With love and SO much appreciation,

Your Girl Jackie ♥

Here’s my Christmas Haul video, for those of you who either wanna get a closer look at what I got or just like watching me act like a jackass =) I had a lot of cough medicine prior to filming, so I was on one. Enjoy!

Hello fellow beauty lovers, greetings from the land of the fabulous! I know I’ve been quite this week and I owe it all to this miserable cold I caught that just doesn’t wanna go away. I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday weekend, mine was really good despite the sniffling and coughing. My family and I went away to a charming little cabin in Yosemite and had a cute little Christmas out in the woods complete with nighttime beer drinking/star gazing. And of course, an amazing pile of gifts on Christmas morning! I know you guys love my Christmas hauls, so here is a sneak peak of what I got, before I even make my haul video!

This is pic of my collective haul, it’s so big I had to back aaaaaall the way into the wall to get it all. I got everything from jewelry new yoga pants to beauty products and a high end Snuggie. Yes, I am a spoiled little princess, even though I’m all grown up =)

Naturally I got a bunch of beauty goodies since that’s the thing everyone knows I like. My mom got me the Sephora Collection Makeup Studio Blockbuster, which let me tell you is even more amazing in person. I can’t WAIT to start playing with this one! My Stepdad gave me the Stila Ultimate Color Palette -which I’ve been dying to get my hands on- as well as a Sephora gift card which I’m pretty sure I’ll be using to get the new UD Naked Palette. Oh, and did you see the adorable hairdryer there? Mom found that it Ulta – how cute is that!?

The shoes – oh the shoes! Just look at these, I seriously wish I had more feet so I could wear them all at once. The black Jessica Simpson pumps are perfect for work, while the Forever 21 heels are so hot I’m saving them for New Years. And the tan Steve Madden’s, well you KNOW I’ve already broken those in. I love them!

This was the most random gift, but how AWESOME is this coffee mug? Not only is it pink, but it has a bedazzled mirror on it! My Stepdad got this for me because in his words, “it is SO JACKIE!” Ad he couldn’t have been more right. I took this thing to work today and used it to check my lipgloss during my meetings. I can’t believe someone didn’t think of this sooner. Brilliant, just brilliant.

I’ll get more in detail about all this stuff when I film my haul video tomorrow night. It’s been a few weeks so I’m dying to get back in the game! Until then, I’m gonna get some sleep and see if I can’t shake this raspy voice in time to film. Goodnight all!

I came into work today and found the most wonderful surprise waiting for me – my ex’s mom had dropped this wonderful gift off for me. I was excited because I love presents and it was such a sweet thing for her to do, but also because I’ve been DYING to try out Mally Beauty for the longest time.

Just look at how cute this bag is! I can always tell I’m gonna love a product when even the packaging is pretty.

I couldn’t believe how much good stuff was in this bag! I got a High Shine Liquid Lipstick Pen in Mally’s Baby (shimmery pink), a volumizing mascara in black, the City Chick Eyeliner Pencil in black and an Evercolor Shadow Stick in Plum.

I started playing with these products right away and so far I love everything, but check back in a week or so for a full review!
