Ouu it's Minty

Image
Hey guys! Summer is finally here, and when I'm not wearing a Fun Lipstick (post  here ), I love wearing a colouful eyeliner or using a little pop of colour wherever really (on the inner corner, or even on the lower waterline).  Today, I thought I'd share with you an eye look (is that what this is called? Lol) that I love rocking during spring/summer! I chose to wear a mint eyeliner but I found that using the mint shade on it's own made my eyes look a little washed out and... Odd looking. Haha So drew a tinyyyy black wing to balance it out. It's such an easy look you wouldn't believe! It's quite subtle but it has that fun little pop of colour . Plus it brings out your eye colour!! :)

I think I found the best eyeliner (to date)

Hey guys! For a long time, I thought eyeliner was the most difficult still anyone could ever posses. But after a little practice, it has became quite an easy thing to do. If you're struggling with eyeliner, practice . That's the best advice I can give. For a few days, before removing my makeup, I would try to draw my eyeliner. Without a wing and with a wing.  This way, even if I did mess up, I was going to take my makeup anyway! :) Using a pen eyeliner is the fastest way do do your eyeliner (in my opinion of course) because if you use a gel eyeliner, you have to use a brush with it and bla bla. I've had a couple of eyeliners before but the  Essence eyeliner pen waterproof - €3 is definitely one is my favourites!!  I've had this for 9 months now and it's still going strong!!! :o When I don't have much time, I'll occasionally just wear this eyeliner and some mascara and leave the house! :)

Review - Kiko Matte Blue Eyeliner

Image
Hey guys, A couple of weeks ago, I went to  Kiko  as they were having a 20% discount, so I bought their  Ultimate Pen long wear eyeliner in 05 Teal  - €6.90 (initially) but I got it for  €5.52 ! *sigh* Personally, I find it really difficult to find  MATTE  eyeliners (in a pen form...), so when I saw it... I freaked out! Using my inside voice I mean... Hehehe (I don't know what's going on with my eyelashes lately... It's like they're having a party of their own!) I swatched this eyeliner in the store and was blown away! Pros A beautiful  MATTE  periwinkle blue shade! It  brings out the brown  and yellow undertones of my eyes Perfect shade for Spring and Summer Long wearing Water-proof A nice pop of blue without being too overwhelming Easy application (has a rubber part on the holder so it doesn't slip off your hands) Very pigmented  Only 1 stroke needed to achieve an opaque wing!! Cons Wish there were more shades... Hope you guy...

Women's Day Haul

Image
Hey guys! :) Yesterday I went to the movies with one of my best friends and we made sure we did a little shopping since there were a tonne of discounts (because of women's day). I didn't buy any clothing cause honestly I didn't really like anything...  Personally I don't really pay attention to women's day cause to me, women's day is every day. "All day, err' day" is that what the kids are saying these days? lol  But can I say no to shopping? No. No I can't. No I won't.  Well, I went to Sephora, where they were having a 20% discount (woopwoop!) and bought the Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Fig - €20.90 (initially) but I got it for €16.72 !! I also bought bought Sephoras smoothing body scrub in Orange Blossom for €3 . It smells great!  Kiko was also having a 20% discount (I couldn't help myself) so I bought their Ultimate Pen long wear eyeliner in 05 Teal - €6.90 (initially) but I got it for €5.52 ! *sigh* We then went to The Body Shop ...

DIY Eyeliner... Using eyeshadow

Image
Today, I felt like experimenting with my makeup! Do you ever have those days where you wake up and think "I wanna have fun with my makeup today!"? No...? Well I did! Haha I know I wanted to use a colouful eyeshadow as an eyeliner... And while I was looking through all my eyeshadows, I came across this beautiful coppery shade on my Sleek - Original palette. 

Help with Eyeliner - Gel

Image
I've used gel eyeliner forever and so I wanted to share some info about them cause surprisingly it seems really difficult but it's really not! :) here are my thoughts! When I started getting interested in eyeliner (basically because I just couldn't draw a wing with a pen eyeliner. I would try to draw a wing and it would almost reach my ear... No joke.), I decided to start off by buying the MAC fluidline in Blacktrack - €18.50 . This was because at the time, it was the only one everyone was talking about and the reviews were great!!! Using the pot almost every single day *even if it was just to tight line*, when I reached 2/3 of it, the rest was completely dry!! I don't know if it was the fact that MAC pots don't fully close...  I would try to draw a wing and chuncks of eyeliner would stick on to my lid... It was just gross! And pieces of eyeliner would then fall onto my eyelashes. The eyeliner that a had once loved so much, was now letting me ...
