Eyeliner

  

I used to find eyeliners such a daunting thing to attempt and there were always so many different types of formulas to try out it can seem quite overwhelming so I steered clear from trying out anything other than a thin line on my upper lash line for quite a while. But after A LOT of trial and error at home I have become pretty confident with different looks. Using eyeliner in different ways can really enhance how your make-up ties together.
 
Liquid eyeliner is probably my favourite thing to use of the moment, especially with this L'Oreal one. It is so easy to apply and simple to create flawless flicks and wings with. It does take practise but once you've got the hang of it you will be amazed at how perfect a line you can achieve!
Pencil eyeliner is perfect for creating smudgy eye looks or used in the tightline to make your eyelashes look fuller at the root, this Avon Supershock one has had a lota love as you can probably tell from how worn down its got, it goes on so smoothly and is really easy to apply.
Felt tip/ Pen eyeliner is always good to use when you are first getting into eyeliner as it is super duper easy to use, creating thin or thick perfect lines and distributing the perfect amount of product. This L'Oreal one is a goodun which I have repurchased on numerous occasions and go back to it on days where I just want hassle free super quick application.
Gel eyeliner used with the right brush (real techniques liner brush) is fabulous when creating a winged line and can look really well done, although you have to have a lot of practise using gel eyeliner as you need a steady hand to keep the gel from smearing all around your eye unless you are trying to achieve that look of course!
Disappointing product mention goes to the Bourjois Liner Feutre, I bought this a couple of weeks ago expecting good things from this as it swatched well in store but after about 2 or 3 uses I could only get a faint line and after about an hour it started flaking off leaving a patchy mess on my lash line, not impressed!
Hope everyone is well,
lots of love

The Shampoo That Saved My Hair

Image
Well that title sounds rather dramatic doesn't it! I'll give you a bit of background info about my hair, its all round difficult to manage, my ends get extremely dry if I don't take good care of them, my roots get extremely oily about 10 minutes after washing (only a slight exaggeration) and my scalp if stripped only slightly too much will begin to flake, how lovely.. So I find it very difficult to keep it looking clean, shiny and healthy, hence why I am automatically drawn to brands which I have tried and tested and know work. However a couple of weeks ago my shampoo of choice which I had been using for about 2 months (L'Oreal EverStrong) had ran out and on my dash to boots it was no where to be found. My mother picked up the Herbal Essences combo which names slips my mind at this moment in time, but it is in a pink bottle. I gave this a go as it looked okay and I had no other options but it completely ruined the state of my hair, after washing I found that my hai

Beauty On A Budget- Naked 2 Alternative

Image
         Like the look of Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette but not loving the price tag? Check out the MUA undressed palette from superdrug for an astonishing £4 compared the Naked 2 which is £37. Both come with 12 different really wearable bronzy shades. The pigmentation and colour pay off is obviously going to be quite a lot better in the naked palette but for the price you pay the MUA palette is a wonderful dupe and can create some equally as great smoky eye looks. If you wanna know more about the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette click  here  for my post on the full review and swatches of each shade. Okay guys, so I've decided to allocate particular days each week for posting new content, for the time being I will post 2 days a week, one day during the working week, most likely on a Wednesday or Thursday and then on a Sunday, I feel like this will give me a proper blogging routine and so you guys know when to come back and check out new content (if you would like t

A little bit of Luxury

Image
 I feel that facial oils get a bit of a bad rep for causing breakouts by being too heavy and greasy on the skin especially for people get oily patches i.e. me, surely if you use an oil on your face it will cause your skin to become uncontrollably greasy and unpleasant, right? I put my hands up and admit that I myself always steered away from applying anything too oily onto my face for fear of my skin reacting badly And God knows what happening. However after receiving this Bobbi Brown Extra face oil I cautiously braved it and I must say, I am converted. Super lightweight and non greasy and is absorbed into the skin within seconds. It doesn't fill my pores and I have experienced no nasty skin occurrences whilst using this for the last couple of weeks every night. It softens the skin and injects a burst of moisture whilst plumping (sounds a bit weird doesn't it, promise it's a good thing) out the face giving you a really healthy, natural glow. The price is the only dow
