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?

Current make-up Favorites


There have been a few products this month that I have been loving.

 The first product is Laura Mercier’s silk creme foundation, I have always used Estee Lauder’s Double wear but as my skin is so dry I find this really dries out my skin. Laura Mercier’s foundation has the same coverage as Double Wear but it doesn't dry my skin out. It is a really nice creamy consistency and it goes on my skin so flawlessly. I use my Real Techniques buffing brush, which is another of my favourites, to apply this foundation.

 Another of my favourite products is my Natural Collection liquid eye liner which I use on my top lash line. This liner was only £1.99 which is a complete bargain. I find that it doesn't smudge and lasts all day, so if you like using a liquid liner I definitely recommend buying one of these.


 My favourite mascara this month is the Maybelline Rocket mascara. I have previously done a full review on this and I just really like the volume and length it gives my lashes.


 I have also been using the gold eyeshadows that I got in my Benefit ‘Shes so...jetset’ set for Christmas. These are a really good quality eyeshadows as they don't crease and they last on my lids all day.

 Finally I have been using my MAC lipliner in Cherry almost every day, sometimes on its own with a clear gloss and sometimes I use it when I wear my Apocalips in the colour Bigbang.

Everyday Make-up / FOTD

Hi Guys! Today I thought I would do a post on my everyday makeup. This look I have pretty much been wearing every day for the last few weeks. I always do this, I get stuck doing the same makeup look for weeks as its easy to get into the routine of grabbing the same make-up everyday. The only thing that does change is lipstick I try to wear a different one everyday. 





So for my skin I start with using this YONKA moisturiser - I got this in a Joliebox and I really love it, I have really dry skin but this is really moisturising this is £35.00 via the birchbox shop. I have been using my Laura Mercier silk creme foundation which I love I have it in colour beige ivory, I tend to use Estee Lauders double wear but I found that it really dried my skin out. Laura Mercier silk creme foundation has good coverage and feels nice on my skin I use my real techniques buffing brush to apply this. My favorite concealer is this collection 2000 lasting perfection  which I have in light 2. I then use my Rimmel Stay Matte powder which i have in 001 transparent, this is by far the best powder I have used it doesn't make you look to matte and it lasts all day.    



For my cheeks I use this little glow cheek block buster which I will also do a review on because I have fallen in love with it and its from Primark!! My mum bought me this a while ago and to be honest I just chucked it at the back of my make-up box thinking it would be rubbish, after finding it and using it a couple of weeks ago I realised I was very wrong and I really like it! I also use my Benefit Coralista (Excuse the battered box, it is rather old).

I have been using this liquid liner from Natural collection for the past few weeks and I love it! It costs just £1.99, its easy to apply and it lasts all day! I will do a review on this sometime this week.
I have started using this again recently. I got this in my media makeup kit when I was at college. You can get this on the Crown brush website for just £22.99. you can see the colours I use and they are just the neutrals. 
This is my current favorite lipstick and its the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107.

Boots Haul


Today I went to boots to get a few things I needed. Whilst there I spotted a couple of other things that I have been wanting to try for a while. 
One of the main things I wanted to get was some new mascara, as my Lancome Hypnose ran out last week. I really wanted to try something different so I got Maybelline the rocket volum' express, I have read so many good reviews on this mascara so I am looking forward to seeing how good it is. 
I also needed a new brow pencil so I just picked up the Rimmel professional eyebrow pencil in 002 HAZEL. 
Whilst at the Rimmel counter I couldn't help but notice the Apocalips lip lacquers that I have seen so many people blogging about, I could have happily picked up all of the colours but I stopped myself and just picked up one colour - 400 BIG BANG. 
Rimmel also have a eyeshadow primer which I have never noticed before and most eyeshadow primers are high end and expensive so I thought I'd give the Rimmel one a go. Finally I picked up a lip liner from Natural Collection in the colour ruby rose. I really like a few of the natural collection items that I have used recently and all of their products are so cheap, I am currently using their liquid liner which I love and it was only £1.99!



























Just to let you all know, boots have their 3 for 2 on make-up at the moment. 
I will do reviews on each product once I have used them a few times.
