One pair of eyes, four eyeliners.......




This is a bit of a random post and I am sorry for the lack of swatches but as many of you who read beauty blogs and are as obsessed with make up, like most of us here you cannot own and like just one eyeliner. To many people an eyeliner is an eyeliner but to us here we understand that is not the case. Here are my favorite eyeliners at the moment. From left to right;

2 True waterproof eyeliner- This is such a fantastic find on a recommendation of a friend. I think this was £1.99 when I brought it and it stays put all day! It's a nice intense black with a nib applicator it also seems to last for ages. I think for the price and the quality you get, this will always stay in my make-up bag. I have only seen this brand at Superdrug so far.

Urban Decay 24/7 pencil eyeliner- This is my favorite pencil liner at the moment. I use this mainly for creating a smudged eyeliner look  mainly on the top lid and recently I have been using  it on the waterline and it stays pretty well. It also does not drag your eyelid as is so creamy. While I got mine from the naked pallet this retails for £13

Rimmel Glam'Eyes liquid eyeliner- This has a really thin brush applicator which I reach for when wanting to create a thin line along the upper lash line to make lashes appear thicker. This retails for £5.29

Maybelline gel eyeliner- This come which a brush which is very handy, the eyeliner is really good as you can create a thin sharp black line of a thicker smoker look. With the right brush you can get precision with this liner and good control for doing ample looks. This retails for £7.99.

I love each of these liners for different reasons and reach for each one when I am trying to achieve a different look depending on sharpness or smokiness of the look, intensity of colour and longevity.

Whats your favorite eyeliner at the moment?

March favourties part 2 ....finaly



  1. I have been using Bourjois healthy mix concealer as my under eye concealer and i actually really like it. It is quite light and blends easily. I is to light to use when you need to cover up a brake out.

  2. I have been reaching for Bourjois healthy mix foundation on days that i don't need my foundation to last 16hr because frankly this foundation does not do that. however i like the coverage and is lighter coverage than i usually go for but in fact i think it is working for more i feel less caked in make up and at the moment i am really in love with the dewy look and am so over the matt look. ( for this month anyway).

  3. I have been laying of the eye shadow this month and just been using a light brown all over the lid and then using an urban decay 24/7 eye liner pencil with lashing of mascara. The colours i have been loving and using daily are stash which is an olive green with flecks of gold, rockstar which is a deep eggplant colour I will defiantly be buying the full size and corrupt which is a true dark brown. swatches bellow :) flash has been used!

help with your NO.7 voucher ....part 1

So Boots again are doing when you spend £5 get £5 off NO.7 I love this offer and always spend the vouchers I get! I was looking threw my collection and saw i had quite a lot of NO.7 (way more than i though) so thought it might be useful to some of you to give you very quick reviews on the products, so to give you some ideas on what to spend you voucher on.


above: picture of the voucher
bellow: from left to right, under eye concealer, this product is quite light and i like the applicator. The next two product are eye mousse I think these are normally around £8 which is quite expensive considering how small the tube is. They do crease ever so slightly but i don't think i put a primer under them, so this may have been the problem. lastly is an eye liner its is a pretty colour and the staying power is really good! you can also achieve a very thin line with this which i like.






On top we have the eye liner in "Midas" second we have an eye mousse in "vanilla" and at the bottom is an eye mousse in "fudge". fudge is my favorite of the three and i have almost used up the whole tube!!

I didn't think much of these eye shadows, the colour pay off was poor when i last tried them however after swatching them tonight I think i have fallen re-in love so am going to try them out again tomorrow. (Yes i know I'm silly and that the swatches are a different way round to the picture of them in the pan). Going by the pictures in the pan on the left is "Khaki" and on the right is "Mink".

If you want a closer review of anything feel free to leave a comment bellow :)
part 2 should follow tomorrow!
