Olivia's Beauty Essentials: Day Into Night

6. Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eye Liner

Here are my make up go to's for a flawless day into night look. I simply cannot survive without my liquid eyeliner. It stays in place all day long and never gives you those dreaded "raccoon eyes". Vincent Longo by far makes the best primer, and I have tried them all. For a long day at the office, these products keep you looking your best.

One of the most memorable visits during my Martha's Vineyard trip was the Katama Airfield and Bi-Plane Exhibit. Though I didn't dare take a ride up in the air, I did enjoy brunch and mimosas at The Right Fork Diner located on the airfield. The menu is delicious and the views of the sunset are amazing.
