The new hourglass Voyeur waterproof liquid liner ($34)
It’s the Murphy’s law of makeup. Whatever can go wrong with your winged liner, will go wrong with your winged liner, and that little kitten flick you intended to make morphs into a huge jungle cat of a flick extending from the outer corner to practically all the way behind your ear.
That said, it feels a little unusual to talk about new $34 hourglass Voyeur waterproof liquid liner in the context of speed, and speediness, because, you know, “liquid liner” and “speediness” don’t often go together, but they do in the case of this liner. It makes quick work of liquid liner lines.

So, how does it do what it does? I dunno… It’s some kinda hourglass hocus pocus.
A new addition to the permanent line, it’s a dark, true black liner with a shiny finish and a waterproof formula, and the color doesn’t have any blue or green undertones.
The suggestion reminds me of Tom Ford’s liner
The long, thin felt suggestion looks a lot like the suggestion of my holy grail Tom Ford liner, which is the main reason I was eager to give this liner a try, but it’s not exactly the same. It’s slightly stiffer (the hourglass tip) and, because of that, the first few lines I drew with it were jagged, thick and, basically, out of control.

The suggestion took me a little while to figure out.
Use a light touch
Like, the lightest of light touches — we’re talking butterfly kisses. once you get that down, it’s easy to rapidly draw crisp lines with it in just a minute or two.
NIIN NOPEA!
And I think that the intensity of the black color lends to its quickness, along with how readily the liquid dispenses from the pen tip. even that seems faster than typical for liquid liner.
I mean, it doesn’t gush out like a liquid geyser or anything, but if you press too hard… Not good. Your lines will look thick and jagged.
If, on the other hand, you use a light touch with it, it’s easy to get those perfect, opaque crisp lines.
No crease transfer
Oh, and here’s my most significant pet peeve when it concerns liquid liner: when you have to sit there with your eyes closed waiting for it to dry so that it doesn’t transfer up into your crease.
Uh…
Voyeur dries within a minute, so you don’t have to play the waiting game with it.
Lopullinen tuomio
It’s a yes for me, but this bad young boy probably requires some practice. If you’re trying liquid liner for the first time, Voyeur is going to be tricky. If you get it down, though, your luscious lines will last you through anything and everything.

I’m completely obsessed with lady Leshurr.
K, so, one of the reasons that I think YouTube is one of the best things ever is because of all the new music I find when I’m listening to it/running on the treadmill.
Last Sunday I randomly clicked on a video by a rapper named lady Leshurr, and she’s really good! She reminds me of one of my favorite rappers of all time, Missy Elliott. She’s got that swagger and sort of a playful style.
She did this series of six performance art-like YouTube videos called Queen’s Speech, where it’s just her speaking directly to the camera, and they’re done in one continuous take. Her music gets me going, too. When I was listening to it on my run the other day, I wasn’t intending to run that far, but I ended up doing four miles, which is good for me.
I also wanted to start a band and believed that by the end of that four miles, I was Beyoncé.
Give her a listen! She’s really good.

P.S. Sorry for being MIA lately! I had some technical difficulties with my computer, and Connor Claire has been having a couple of “high needs” days.

Poor thing has a bad diaper rash, so we spoke with an guidance nurse who gave us some suggestions that seem to be helping.
She’ll be OK, but I’m giving her some extra TLC this week.
Hope you’re doing OK. how are things out yonder way?
