I think I found the best eyeliner (to date)

Image
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...

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 ...

Review - MAC Velvet teddy, KIKO Colour-up long lasting eyeshadow in Fine Jade

Image
Hey guys! I went shopping yesterday and bought a couple things. :) I bought a MAC lipstick in Velvet Teddy - €18.50 Velvet Teddy is a matte lipstick but don't worry cause it's not drying... I would describe it almost as a satin finish... Don't know why it's described as 'matte'. I'm my opinion it's not 100% matte... Never mind, each their own I guess... Lol Plus, if you can't deal with lipsticks more on the matte/satin finish, you can always wear a lip balm before or after applying it! The way I would describe it is 'a brown-ish, with a peachy undertone'. Hope you kind of got it! ;) And OMG... It's sooo beautiful!! I never really got why everyone started freaking out about this shade. Now I do. I only bought it yesterday and I know I'm gonna start coordinating my outfits around the lipstick (does anyone else do this?). This lipstick goes with every eye look and skin tone. I'm pale (like, if I...
