Disappointing Eyeliners

I've tried plenty of eyeliner in the 4/5 years I've been wearing it, and as much as I love the stuff, it is the one thing I've tried where I've had more misses then hits.
Felt tip liners are definitely the easiest to use, which is why they are my favourite and most used, but with them being the easiest, they also happen to be the ones with the most flaws. The biggest of which being, the felt tip dries out, and it dries out fast. Even though all of my liners are store upside down to keep the liquid in the nib.

I do have a couple which don't dry out for a few months, but I'll save that for another post.

Today I have 4 liners I am going to tell you about, all of which are felt tip liners.

First up is MUA luxe Precision liner. At £3, it's the cheapest on my list, and when you first use this liner, it's fine. It's really black, it's opaque, it doesn't bleed, it's precise. but by the time you've done one eye, the tip is dry and I've no hope in doing the other eye. Which is one of the main reasons for all of these 4 liners. 

The next is Bourjois Liner feutre, in Ultra black. EXACT same problem as MUA. the tip just dries out before I get chance to do the second eye.

The next two are slightly more price, One being Eyeko eye do liner and the next Urban decay Ink for eyes. The main thing that annoys me with Eyeko is that it's supposed to be 'waterproof'. Except that definitely isn't. I mean it isn't the worst, but for £15, I'd want it to last a lot better then it does. And urban decay, just dries up SO fast. If you can actually manage to get it on, then it really is waterproof, smudge proof and all that, but that's only IF you can get it on.

I keep saying to myself, maybe I just got duds, but to of gotten 4 duds seems a bit far fetched to me, If you've had better experiences then me, and think mine are duds, let me know down below!

Face of the day 05/01/2015

I always like doing face of the days posts, but never get round to doing them, Think I need to save up and invest in an actual camera, rather then just using my phone!

But anyway, here's what's on my face today.



 I've done my usual, but slightly more subtle eyeliner using my Bourjois mega liner in Ultra black, I actually think it turned out really good today. Here

My brows are really lightly filled in with my Eylure brow pencil. Here

and lips are Bourjois Rouge Edition lipstick in 16 Brun Cosmopolitan. It looks really patchy here, but it's just how the light is reflecting off it.


A very Lipstick Christmas

I'm not going to make this post too long, because I'm going to do some more in depth reviews individually, but if you know me, you know lipstick is one of my mega favorites when it comes to make up. If I don't have it on, I spend the whole day feeling as though I've missed something.

So here are the lipsticks that I was lucky enough to get at Christmas.



Bourjois is definitely the brand I got most of, I've always loved my bourjois rouge Edition lipstick in shade 13 Rouge Jet Set, but I've only had the one, then on Christmas I wake up to these! So happy. Like I said, I'll not go too much into the shades I got now, because I'll do a more in depth look and review into each of the shades soon.

My sister also got me the Nars Digital World set, which is AMAZING. I am already so in love with the matte pencils, especially Cruella.

I got the Benefit balm tints in Lolli balm and Bene balm, so far I've only used Bene balm and I really like it, it's nice and moisturising and leaves a lovely wash of red on the lips. it also has the rose scent that benetint has.

My friend went to America over autumn and brought me back a beautiful Red Sephora lipstick.

And last, but in no way least, Is my Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in shade 99 Pirate. So much love for this lipstick, but review to come soon!

And that was the lipsticks I got for Christmas. There isn't a single lipstick here that I don't like, and I'm so lucky and grateful to my family and friends for getting me them :) I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! :)
