Splurge vs. Steal: Black Gel Eyeliner

I recently tested the Bobbi Brown black gel eyeliner I'd used for a long time (MSRP $23) against the super cheap version created by e.l.f (MSRP $3). Check out my results below and let me know what you think! What type of gel eyeliner do YOU use?


SPLURGE
Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner in Jet Black
$23, Sephora
Buy it HERE

Pros: easy to apply, creates opaque effect with one coat, makes thick line styles with ease

Cons: smudges when touched and while drying (can leave marks on upper lid just after application which easily wipe off), clots on brush - you need to clean/replace brushes regularly (brush NOT included), thickness makes it somewhat hard to create thin line styles, pricey!


STEAL
e.l.f. Studio Cream Eyeliner in Black
$3, e.l.f.
Buy it HERE

Pros: doesn't smudge, includes a slanted eyeliner brush in every package, easy to apply in thin lines, overall great value!

Cons: a little bit thinner than other eyeliners, may require two coats to achieve opaque effect

Style: What to Wear with Patterned Pants?


Patterned "busy" pants and jeans * can be pretty tricky to pull off! You have to find the shirt that matches a print JUST right and the search to find the top that matches the most difficult & exotic pair of pants can turn out to be very expensive. In most cases, it's best to go with a simple design and/or solid color. I've included some ideas below for inspiration. You may already have some of these more basic looks in your closet (which saves you some $). If not, they'll at least make practical investment pieces.

The possibilities are endless and express your personal style - just look at how differently Rose Byrne, Kristin Stewart, & Marion Cotillard styled the look!

Let's make a game of it! 
Make your own outfit combos by clicking the arrows to the right of each photo below to view different tops and patterned pants. Keep clicking until you find a combo that speaks to YOU!

* As you can see, these rules also apply to pants that are: printed (including tile print silk), embroidered, ombre, tweed, jacquard, metallic, foulard, & more!
