About the make-up-- honestly, (6) and (8) are two tried-and-true products I've gotten before. 

The Kat Von D Tattoo Liner is the best liquid liner I've ever tried. It is easy to use (just like a brush marker), dries extremely fast, and doesn't have that plasticky shine so many of its counterparts have. Some friends are Stila advocates when it comes to liquid liners and, having tried it in Sephora, I would say there is very little difference between the two. Both are extremely long-lasting and dry semi-matte. I find the Kat Von D liner a little easier to manipulate across my eyes, so I've remained faithful to her. 

I've been using the MUFE Duo Mat foundation for years, and it has never let me down. I'm currently on the hunt for a new liquid foundation, but this is perfect for those quick, on-the-go, my-face-looks-like-crap moments. 

There will be a Part 3 to this Got and Gifted. It will including the clothing I've gotten and been gifted. Also, tomorrow's the big day. I've decided to forgo any drastic cuts, but I've scheduled a hair appointment for a drastic change in hair-color. As I've been advised, I'll ask my stylist if Color 1 will suit me. Hopefully, I'll be able to pull it off-- and it won't cost too much...
