It's All About The Eyes

So, I've wanted to stray away from my everyday-go-to black liquid eyeliner and see what else the drugstore has to offer in the eyes department. Here is a  haul that I did probably a couple of months ago (I know i'm late on posting but I'm still new at this so bear with me...)

1. Maybeline Brow Drama in Dark Brown

This brow mascara is good for setting brows but sadly doesn't do much in terms of colour as my brows are black so the brown doesn't really show up. Maybe not a must have item but I still use it on a regular basis anyway.

2. Loreal Super Liner Gelmatic in Deep Violet

A deep purple liner is great if you want something that's not a black but gives your eyes some definition without being too over the top during the day. I love the colour of this and the formula glides on so well when being applied.

3. Maxfactor Wild Shadow Pencil

Great for when you're on the go and don't have much time to spare. Simply glide onto eyelids and blend in with your finger. Simple! It also doubles as an eye liner too which is a bonus.

4. Loreal Colour Riche LeKhol in 104 Icy Cappuccino

A mid brown liner that helps to soften the eyes and give that 'no makeup' vibe. Easy to glide on but I would have preferred it if it was slightly darker as it doesn't show up enough for my liking. 

Clothes, Clothes and more Clothes...

With our internet being down for a reason that I won't bore you all into, it meant that I haven't been able to post anything up until now (and even now our internet still isn't working *sigh*). So apologies for that but to cheer you all up I'm here to share my recent clothing purchases with you all; the result of 3 shopping trips and a nice big dent in my bank account...

YSL Rue de Babylone Blush Collector Palette

What better way to start my first post than to write about one of my favourite makeup items, blusher! I'm a total sucker for blush: from innocent pinks to vivid corals, blusher adds the final touch to any makeup ensemble, and although I probably don't need any more to add to my stash, I couldn't resist this piece from YSL.

This limited edition blush is inspired by the pulse of the Paris Rive Gauche streets and contains a heart shape center embossed with the YSL logo. The cutesy pink shade is a perfect match to pale skin tones like mine and the product glides on so nicely when applied. One tip though... don't go too heavy handed on the blush as it is very pigmented! Just a light hand will do (as I found out the hard way), and if you want more colour then gradually build up the intensity. I'm not sure if shops in the UK still sell these as they are limited edition, but I got mine at boots around a month ago after the sales lady completely sold me on how cute the packaging was... and the product itself of course, but it might be worth asking around anyway! Otherwise, you can buy it internationally here.
