The best Eyeliner EVER!?

Hello Lovelies!
It can be quite difficult trying to find the perfect products, and one that I do struggle with is Foundation and powder. But not so much Eyeliner, this Eyeliner is possibly one of the best I have tried! It retails at £6.00! If you are interested you can buy it here
 

I didn't wear Eyeliner until this bad boy, and so when I got it I thought it wont be that good! But as soon as I swatched it, it became my holy grail. It glides smoothly on to the eyes really well. I apply it on my upper waterline as it is waterproof and it stays put all day! It doesn't smudge and to make it even better it doesn't need sharpening, you just twist it up when you need it and your good to go. It claims it last up to 12 hours, but I haven't had it on for that long but I wouldn't be surprised if it does.


I have Blackest Black as I feel it is more wearable on a day to day basis. But I think every single one is great for creating different makeup looks. The nib can break easily if you apply to much pressure. But unlike some Eyeliners it doesn't drag on the skin or end up smudged under the eyes. Overall love this product 5-5 for me. I will defiantly be buying this again!

They have a range of colours to choose from:
Blackest Black
Majestic Plum
Starry Night Blue
Cosmic BrownCosmic Brown
Saturn Grey

Collection 2000 Colour Match Foundation

Hello Lovelies!
I think I may have found my perfect Foundation! I had to share this with you as soon as possible because it is just so great. If you have been following my blog for a while you may know I have not been able to find a Foundation with the right shade. I always get it to dark or to light. But I recently came across this and had to buy it! It adapts to your own skin colour!? What else could you want in a foundation? If you are interested in this Foundation you can purchase it here for only £5.99!


I got mine in the shade Light 2 as I feel this will look better, and is more my shade. I have never purchased anything that I know of from collection 2000, but I have heard many people talk about it. A lot of people really like the concealer they do but I didn't pick it up. This bottle has a pump which is great because one pump for me does plenty. It has SPF 20 which is great if you are wearing this and it is sunny.
When you apply this Foundation it automatically adapts to your Skin colour. It blends very well into Skin and the result of it you would expect a higher end product. But gives you that extra coverage, it gets rid of redness and makes my skin look radiant and feel fresh. It is lightweight and a matte finish. You might even get away with not wearing a powder. But I do just to be on the safe side.

 
The only problem I would say with this is the packaging. It is a glass bottle meaning it is very heavy and it will crack/break very easy. Personally I would not carry it in my bag incase it breaks.It also has a crack on the packaging, near the pump. I do have to keep it upright making sure that the foundation doesn't leak out. It doesn't bother me that much though. But overall 5-5 I will defiantly be buying this Foundation again as I love it and it works really well with the Rimel Stay Matte Pressed Powder.
TIP TIME: When applying Foundation blend it in with a buffing brush, this will reduce the look of pores!

Review: Nivea Refreshingly Soft Moisturising Cream

Hello Lovelies!
My Internet has been slow lately which means I can not watch YouTube videos without it freezing every 5 seconds! In all honesty I don't have much patients so I thought why not do a Blog post? Recently my skin has been very dry and I suffer with eczema and my skin gets very agitated during cold months, this cream has really helped my skin to be hydrated and makes it smooth and soft. I do recommend that you check it out, I love Nivea products so much.


When I buy a cream that is cheaper than Clinque or many other brands that are great for skincare I automatically think they are going to be terrible. My mum got me this as she loves it so much and uses it day and night! I use this before I apply Foundation to give it that dewy look, not so much wet and sticky but more like fresh and clean look. I don't apply it at night unless my skin needs some moisture but it works great under Foundation! It retails at: £2.45 you can purchase it here

My hand is chubby and very red sorry but we can ignore that
It works for the face, hands and body. Which is great meaning you can use it all over. It smells amazing, I have to have a lotion that smells nice otherwise its not going to work for me. It has Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E which is great for the skin! The texture of the cream is thick but when you apply to skin only but a little bit on as if you put to much you will look very oily. It takes about 2-3 minutes to dry on your face, not sure about the body though. I don't think there is anything bad about this product, you get a lot of use out of it as the bottle lasts for a long time. Overall a great product that I love. It stays put all day and leaves a fresh feeling on your face. Overall 4.5-5.

Review: W7 Lashtastic False Liquid Lashes Mascara

Hello Lovelies!
Today I have a review on a great Mascara for only £1.99! Sorry it was so short I did try to pack everything about this product in there. Hopefully you enjoy it!


The packaging is simply it does stand out though as it is Yellow. If you have a huge makeup collection and it is difficult to find products I am sure this one will not be hard to find. The feeling is not like a ordinary mascara packaging it feels smooth. It is quite weird really. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this but when I put my mascara wand back it sometimes it slips and goes all down the packaging and all over my hand meaning I am all dirty as well as the mascara. So when I come to wipe it of with a wet wipe it is very difficult. 


The wand is amazing it has so many bristles that will even out your lashes. When I apply it to my eyes it feels really wet and dewy, so whatever you do, do not blink it will go everywhere. I do like the fact that it is very wet as sometimes (or all the time) one eyelash is always longer and thicker than the other in my case. It makes my eyelashes so long, I could probably touch my eyebrows with them...I feel like it does an okay job of separating them, it isn't the best but it isn't bad. It curls them so good, but I don't really go for the curled effect on my eyelashes. I would wear this more at night than in the day. The reason for this is because it can sometimes make your eyes look a bit harsh. Another thing is because they are supposed to look like you are wearing fake lashes it hurts your eyes. Overall 4-5. Good for the price of only £1.99.

Thank you for reading! Much love, see you soon Erin xoxo
