Makeup Revolution Kajal Liner Review

Hey beaut's!

You may have seen my Makeup Revolution Haul quite some time ago and within that haul I picked up Makeup Revolutions Kajal Liner, I'd been lusting after a kajal style liner for a super long time and always hesitated because some of them I've seen where a little bit pricey but of course Makeup Revolution always have an affordable option and as theirs was only £2.00 I thought why not! 

The reason behind me wanted to try a Kajal liner so badly is because of it's unusual shape, I just find it so interesting and have always wondered if it really did work and if it really was easy to get to grips with, and the answer is yes! The shape of the Kajal liner makes things so easy, firstly if you struggle to tight line your upper lash line then all your problems are solved with Makeup Revolutions Kajel Liner, all you have to do is rest the point of the Kajal on your lower lash line then gently close your eyes and line as normal, it does feel slightly bizarre to begin with but it doesn't hurt or scratch and most importantly you never nearly poke your eye out which is what nearly always used to happen to me. Secondly it never needs sharpening which is a major plus for me, I'm all about quick, fuss free makeup and the Kajel certainly ticks that box. 

The formula of the Kajal is very soft and somewhat creamy, it's the kind of liner that allows you a little time to work with/smudge out before it has completely set which is always great when you want to achieve those smokey eyes. The staying power of the Kajal on the actually waterline itself is good, I do find by the middle of the afternoon I could use a touch up but that doesn't bother me at all, I have also noticed when the liner does start to fade it actually settles slightly at the root of my lower lashes which I think looks awesome as it really makes my lower lashes stand out. I have also used the Kajal on my eyelid as a base for a dark smokey eye and the lasting power was incredible, it literally didn't budge on my eyelid at all so I'd highly recommend it for that purpose too.

 The packaging of the liner is good too, the lid of the Kajal slots on really securely so there n worries about throwing it in my handbag and it follows the same Makeup Revolution theme of black, shiny looking packaging with gold text.

Overall I'm so pleased I finally picked one of the Kajal style liners up because I certainly cant live without mine now, and for only £2.00 you really cant go wrong!

Have you tried the Makeup Revolution Kajal Liner yet beaut's?? What did you think?? I'd love to know!

Barry M Eyeliner Review | Bold Black & Brown

Hey girlie's!!!

I was in desperate need of a new eyeliner as my Avon Supershock is so tiny that I cant even sharpen it, I decided I wanted to try something new and I surprisingly opted for Barry M Kohl Liners. Now you might be shocked to hear that I have never EVER bought make up from Barry M before, I have thousands of their Nail Polishes but no make up. The reason I decided on Barry M eyeliners was because that day I had watched a make up tutorial done by the fabulous Nic from Pixiwoo, Nic used the brown and the black Barry M eyeliners in her tutorial and said they were amazing, so if Nic from Pixiwoo says they're amazing then I knew they'd be good and I just had to buy them to try for myself.   

Here's the two I opted for....

Barry M Bold Black Waterproof Eyeliner £3.99

Firstly I opted for the Bold Black Waterproof eyeliner, in the shop I thought this was actually a standard kohl liner but once I'd got it home and opened it I realised it's actually a gel formula eye liner, which are my favourite!!! I find gel eyeliners always have better colour pay off and are so much softer and easier to use and Barry M's offering certainly doesn't disappoint!!! As you can see from the swatch pictured above, the pigmentation is very strong, its the blackest of blacks, the eyeliner is also very soft and easy to use whether you want to line your waterline or upper lash line, and it smudges out beautifully for the more dramatic smokey looks. As for wear time... On the upper lash line the eyeliner didn't budge all day which I thought was amazing and there was no fading either, it was still its bold black shade, on the waterline I found it started to fade/wear off after a good 4-5 hours. Overall I do love the Bold Black eyeliner from Barry M I just wish it lasted slightly longer on the waterline.

Barry M Brown Kohl Pencil £2.99

Brown eyeliner is something I never used to use but recently I've been using my Stila brown liner alot so I thought I'd treat myself to another more affordable option. The Barry M Brown Kohl Liner is just as good as any other standard kohl liner to be honest, it was nice an soft to use on the waterline and gave a much more softer look than the black which is always nice for daytime wear, I also used the brown eyeliner on my upper lash line when I done a nice neutral eye look and again it worked well and went on with ease, I particularly liked using the brown eyeliner to smudge along my lower lash line, it looked really pretty and smudged out well without budging all day.

Overall I really do love Barry M's eyeliners and I'm glad I gave them a go, I'd definitely say their lasting power when used for smudging is phenomenal but on the waterline they don't last as long as I'd like, however I don't mind topping up my liner through the day if I need too.

Have any of you girlie's tried any of the Barry M liners before??? What did you think??

Collection Extreme Felt Tip Liner | Review

 Hey girlie's!!!

Liquid liner has been something I've always struggled with until this year, i couldn't even apply it without having wonky lines or uneven wings/flicks. I recently took it upon myself  to try out lots of eyeliners and I'm thinking of doing a battle of the eyeliners style post soon but today I'm just going to share with you all my love for the fabulous 'Collection Extreme Felt Tip Liner'.

This eyeliner is truly one of the best I've ever used, so you maybe thinking why do i love it so much??? Well... For me its all about easy application and this eyeliner screams easy application. The applicator is a relatively small felt tip kind of jobbie, you can draw a very thin line to a thick line with ease and i find that as its a felt tip style eyeliner its really easy to create flicks which is something that has always been tricky for me. Another thing that i love about this eyeliner is its staying power, my goodness its a good'un, its stays put all day without fading, smudging or transferring. The only downside for some people with this eyeliner is that it has a complete matte finish, where as most eyeliners I've used leave a slight glossy finish, personally i prefer the matte finish making it perfect for daytime wear.

If the eyeliner wasn't good enough already the fact this is an absolute bargain at just £2.99 makes it a complete winner in my eye's, i literally have no bad words to say about this eyeliner and would definitely recommend it whether your a beginner's to the eyeliner world or just generally looking for a new eyeliner this one wont disappoint.

Have you tried this eyeliner before??? Do you love it as much as me???

August Favourites ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

I cant quite believe its that time again.... August favourites time. I honestly cant believe how quick August has gone but i have to say I'm now getting super excited for autumn to arrive i just cant wait. Anywhoo... I thought i would share with you all my favourite beauty products I've been loving throughout this past month... So here goes...

Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me

I adore 'Cherry Me' out of the UK's Baby Lips collection, id say its definitely the best of the bunch for me. Its super moisturising, smells delicious and has good pigmentation for a tinted lip balm. I also love the fact these aren't in little pots where you have to apply the balm to your lips with your finger making these alot more hygienic especially for on the go applications. Ive also noticed that my lips feel so much smoother than before and i can see myself repurchasing 'Cherry Me' over and over again. I have reviewed the whole collection of the Baby Lips, you can have a read here.

L'oreal Super Liner in Black Lacquer

Over the last couple of months I've really been getting into wearing eyeliner on my top lash line and winging it out sometimes but this is something I've struggled to master for quite some time, I've tried lots of different liquid liners in the past and so far this 'L'oreal Super Liner' has to be the best and the most easy to use. The applicator lets you apply thin or thick lines with ease and makes creating flicks/wings really simple, its also super long lasting and totally smudge proof, once its on it ain't budging so you have to work quick. I will be reviewing this in full soon so look out for that.

Max Factor Wild Mega Volume Mascara in Black

I love this mascara, even after buying other mascara's recently i always find myself going back to this one. It gives me just the right amount of volume for a general day to day mascara but the thing i love about it the most is the staying power, it literally doesn't budge all day long which is something i always want from a mascara as theres nothing worse than a flaky smudgy mascara. I have reviewed this in full so feel free to click here and have a read. 

Radox Shower Smoothies in Tropical Tranquillity

Now this is quite a different thing for me to put in my favourites as usually i swear by the Soap & Glory Clean On Me shower gel but i was coming to the end of that so when i was in Superdrug i saw that the 'Radox Shower Smoothie' range was on offer for 74p, i smelt the other 3 in the range but decided on 'Tropical Tranquility' a coconut scented shower smoothie with little pieces of crushed almonds and myrrh inside. It feels so soft and gentle on the skin and the almonds act like a gentle exfoliante, it also makes your skin smell gorgeous after your shower too.

Burberry Tender Touch Ea De Parfum 50ml

I adore this Burberry perfume and its most definitely one of my signature scents, I've been using this throughout spring and summer as it has such a lovely sweet floral scent to it and as you can see i only have a very small amount left (sad face). Ive also noticed that i get lots of compliments when wearing this so it seems to be a well liked scent too. 

What's been your favourite beauty products this month?? I'd love to know :)
