Natural Collection Liquid Eyeliner


Hi Guys! Today I thought I would review this eyeliner. I picked this up a couple of months ago after my sister said she uses it and she really likes it. It is the Natural Collection Liquid Eye Lines, as with the rest of the Natural Collection products this was a complete bargain at £1.99 for 8ml! My sister and I used to use the Dior Style Liner but at £22.50 for 2.5ml I think that it is a bit of a rip-off! I find that the brush on the Natural collection eyeliner is very similar to the one on the Dior liner.



The reviews that I have read on this eyeliner aren't great, I haven't read one good review, which is why after trying this out for myself I was pleasantly surprised!
I found that the eyeliner was really easy to apply and I liked the way you could do a thick or thin line with it. It was jet black which I like, I have previously tried liquid liners that have been more grey in colour. It stayed on all day without smudging. 



There are only two things that I don't particularly like about this: 1. It doesn't dry immediately so after applying it I have to leave my eyes closed for a few seconds and 2. It is quite tricky to get off at night but then again I would rather that than one that wears off in the day! I don't really like the packaging it isn't very pretty but I think you can look past that when your only paying £1.99 for it.

So overall I am really glad I picked this up and at such a cheap price I would definitely recommend it!

Have you tried this liner? What do you think of it?

Seventh Heaven



I have been using MeMeMe's seventh heaven now for 3 days and I think it's amazing. I have always used Clarins HydraQuench and thought that I'd never find anything better but I have! 

Seventh heaven is a moisturising face base. It has the most amazing citrus scent and really works on my dry skin! My makeup also goes on so smoothly on top of the seventh heaven cream. My partner who never notices my skin/makeup even said "your make up looks nice today" and when I asked him what he meant he said "your skin looks smoother" - this must be good if he noticed! The packaging is really cute as is all of MeMeMe's packaging. 



On the back of the box -"Rich yet lightweight the Moisturising Facebase is enriched with Shea Butter, Vitamin A and Beta-Carotene to rejuvenate, nourish and hydrate skin. Active nutrients and extracts work to brighten, smooth and even out skin tone to prime and create the perfect base for makeup application"



I was lucky enough to have been given this at a recent MeMeMe event that I went to but it only costs £15.00 for 30ml and compared to my usual £33.50 for 50ml of HydraQuench I will definitely buy this again as it will save me a lot of money and to be honest its better!

Soap & Glory - Trick and Treatment

For the past week I have been trying soap and glory's trick and treatment. This product is a concealer designed to neutralise dark circles. I love soap and glory's quirky packaging and most of their products that I have previously tried have been really good quality.





This product is yellow toned which is supposed to help correct any darkness, it has glitter in it - I was a bit worried about this, but when I tried it, it wasn't noticeable at all.
It comes in a lip gloss shaped tube. The product itself is really easy to blend and easy to build up. There was one problem I had with it and that was that because I suffer with dry skin it did clung to some of my dry patches around my eyes. I did like this product and compared to a lot of the high end under eye concealers it is relatively cheap. 
RRP - £9.00
