REVIEW: W7 Automatic Fine Eyeliner

I really love eyeliner pens as it enables me to create a sharp flick and be very precise, however I do find it hard to colour in the skin where my eyelashes are!
I really like this product as the tip is so fine which I really love as I much prefer to build something up rather than have my eyeliner thick and not be able to do anything about it. 

The only real negative I have about this, but it applies to all liner pens really, is that it seems to dry up fairly quickly - I do use it pretty much everyday but I've only had it about 2 months and it's already beginning to dry up and come out lighter.

10 Annoying Things About Make Up

make up
  1. Generally, the best make up is the most expensive
  2. It takes quite a lot of time to put on and take off properly
  3. Not being able to wake up and go straight out whilst looking presentable!
  4. Smudging your mascara because you've blinked or sneezed
  5. Buying a foundation which makes you look like an Oompa Loompa
  6. Poking yourself in the eye with eyeliner, mascara or anything else
  7. Getting powder/blush on your clothes
  8. Finding storage for it all!
  9. Having too much choice in a shop and taking AGES deciding which product to get
  10. You don't want to wear it because you should embrace 'natural beauty' but you don't want to scare anyone away!

My Make Up Bag

I thought I’d give you an insight into my make-up bag just for fun, I don’t class myself as a beauty blogger and my make-up collection isn’t high end or very big but I thought I’d show you it anyway! Also these are my main products I use on a day to day basis not every single product I have!

So this is my bag I got for free for spending a certain amount of money in Clinique, I don't really like it if I'm honest but there we are haha it's something to keep my make up in!

I've always used this moisturiser I really like it as it's not too heavy but does the job!
simple moisturiser
This is my best foundation everrrr! I have been through SO many foundations from Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse to Maxfactor Colour Adapt to Bourjois Healthy Mix. I finally found this one and I am so happy! It hides blemishes well so I don’t need to use concealer and it matches my pale skin so well! HERE’s a review I wrote on it.

I also use this foundation for days where I'm not doing much - maybe going to town or something, does anyone else have a cheaper low quality foundation they use on down days?
maxfactor foundation
This is the powder I use it’s not particularly fancy or anything because I just use it to set the liquid foundation really and I don’t want it to add any extra colour to my face as I'm naturally quite pale.
collection pressed powder
I’m loving this Urban Decay Eyeliner recently, it’s long lasting and I love the fine tip as it enables me to thicken the line if I want to rather than using it and it being a thick line whether I like it or not! HERE’s a review I did on it.

I also got this Eye Mousse free at Boots and I lovee it! This is what it looks like on - such a nice Wintery look!
I also have the Collection gel liner, I used to have the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama, but I haven't noticed much difference between the two brands and Collection is cheaper! I mainly use it for lining my tight line so it lasts me quite a while too!
I recently bought this mascara and at first I didn’t like it, there didn’t seem to be much product in the tube and not much came out on the wand but after about a month of using it I really began to like it! It doesn’t smudge or leave black marks under my eyes like some other mascaras seem to and it seems to be an old time favourite for many!
Hope you enjoyed browsing my make up!

Review: Urban Decay Ink For Eyes

Hi chums!

So I've been a big fan of pen eyeliners for a while as it helps me to get a flick a lot easier and more precisely. I've used a few from Collection 2000 but felt that the staying power wasn't great and the consistency/thickness used to change depending on how I held the pen.

I'd heard a LOT of good things about the Urban Decay Ink For Eyes so thought I'd try it out! I bought it from FeelUnique I'll leave the link HERE - the postage was free which I was really impressed by especially as the pen was £15 which is a LOT more than I would usually spend.

Pros:

  • Can create quite a fine/thin line and build it up 
  • Good for precision so you can get as close to the lash line 
  • Can create the perfect wing
  • It's waterproof and has good staying power

Cons:


  • Can smudge in creases (if you have any around your eye)
  • It's quite pricey 
  • Can feel quite sticky straight after applying

Overall I do really like this eyeliner, it's a lot more than I would usually spend on one item of eye make up but I think it's worth it!
