Eyeliner

Eyeliner

I don't wear a lot of makeup every day but I always wear eyeliner! I thought I would share with you my favourite eyeliners as I am very specific on the ones I use.

The first product is -

Collection 2000 eXtreme Felt Tip Liner, I ,love this it is easy to apply and lasts quite a long time. If you do wings at the side of your eyes then this is ideal as it's precise and if I can remember rightly it was a couple of pounds from Superdrug. 

The next product is the eyeliner from Avon, I got this quite a long time ago and can't remember what it's called or how much it was but it was around £3-4. It is a very precise eyeliner but sometimes I find it is quite annoying because it takes a while to get the line thick because it apply's so little. I wouldn't say that I recommend this but It is a good product if you need a lot of precision.

Lastly it's the MUA EXTREME Eyeliner Pen, I LOVE this product! It is a felt pen and is so easy to use it applys well and in general is an amazing product. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new eyeliner. I bought this for £2.99 from Superdrug but I haven't seen it in a while so I searched it online and I think I have found the same product so I will repurchase if possible.

Nails, a tiresome chaw ?

I love having nicely painted nails, so I try and do them as often as possibly but as much as I like having nice nails, I hate painting them, literally loath doing it! It is so time consuming and irritating. But over the last few days I have had little to do, as on Sunday Monday and Tuesday I was ill, I thought I would do my nails and was pleased when I finished them. I enjoyed having nice nails that much that I did a new design. But I still loath this time consuming chaw and love little tips and tricks for making it easier, so here are a few I know-
1. Don't use old nail varnishes as they tend to be more gloupy and will dry tacky and smudge much easier, use fresher bottles and only apply little amounts.
2. When a colour isn't dark enough on first coat, apply another but only when the fist has dried! Don't pile it on.
3. Everyone makes little mistakes, but don't let them ruin your nails, use a cotton bud with nail varnish remover on to remover polish from skin or small mistakes.
4. If you are doing a tricky pattern and are finding it hard, do it on just the thumb nails and paint the rest in a colour that's in the design it still looks good but doesn't take as much effort! I tend to only do the designs on the thumb nails as I really can never be bothered and it is always harder on smaller nails.
5. If you are in a rush but your nails are just refusing to fully dry then when they have dried enough to touch but still not dry enough to go out with run freezing cold water over your hand and it makes it dry.

6. When you have a bottle of nail varnish and it may wont open go and run it under a warm tap, I never thought it would work but after reading it on the Internet I tried it and it opened almost straight away. So no more wasted nail varnish.

These are just a few little tips I have found from doing my nails, but I would love to know some of yours.

Sorry I haven't posted in ages !

I have been slacking on my blog posts due to being ill, I will be updating tomorrow :) sorry

Lynx ?

Lynx ?

 Even though lynx is seen as more of a male scent a lot of females use it including myself. I usually use it for school when I have PE as it is a strong lasting scent, I find that males deodorants / body sprays smell fro longer so I they are ideal for school and they can just be popped into a PE bag.

So I thought i would do a pyramid of Lynx deodorants the bottom being my least favourite and the top being my favourite. The names of them will be below -

6- Attract For Her - I still like this smell but it just isn't as good as the males.

5- Excite - I find that too many people have got this lynx and I smell it around a lot so prefer some of the other less know ones.

4- Recover - This smell lasts for a while and is lovely.

3- MusicStar - This smell reminds me of Christmas for some reason but it smells so nice.

2- Africa - This smell is really different to others and is a nice change.

1- My favourite has to be the new Apollo - It's smell lasts for so long it is a strong but not over powering smell and is just amazing.

All Lynx body spray can be purchased from most shops for £2.95 (150ml) or The XL version for £3.85 (200ml), there are also a variety of products from Lynx such as their hair products and shower gels. 

Bags!

Bags!

I have recently purchased two new bags and they were both fairly cheap, The first bag was from peacocks and was £12. It has two front zips that can be used for phones keys etc, a zip inside and a phone holder inside. It's a leather looking beige bag and has an adjustable long strap. I would definitely recommend this bag as it is very practical and secure. 

I also got a bag from primark but i'm not actually sure how much it was but i think it was under £10. It is a satchel sort of bag and I love it again it has a long strap and inside pockets. It is a black leather look and even has a nice pattern inside. It also has two pockets on the sides but I don't really know what use they have but I have decided to use it to store my perfume.

There's plenty of compartments to store anything.

Sorry I will be updating tomorrow, promise

I haven't updated in a while but I will be doing a proper post tomorrow, which I am looking forward to writing so keep an eye out for that :)

 Favourite ring

I have never been a fan pf wearing rings as I find them uncomfortable and I find myself worrying all the time about getting them stuck, but I have actually found a ring I can wear on a regular basis and not even feel it's there. I got the ring from the co op department store I think and it was quite cheap, I know it's not a jeweler y brand but it is really honestly my favourite ring. I like this ring so much because it is adjustable, it is a cute pinky red colour with little ruby coloured gems. It goes well with a lot of outfits. I would definitely recommend an adjustable ring as they are just so much more comfortable.

Books To Bookmarks?

I reading blogs when I saw one of my friends latest posts, Beth's blog post was about her challenge to herself to read 4 books in February, this got me thinking about all the books my family have in our house, especially my mum so I searched for this to do with old books. I found this great website that had 50 different thinks to do with old books. One was to make bookmarks, so I grabbed one of my mum's old unwanted books and went on to produce this -

It's a simple but effective idea and is definitely useful and helpful. While gaining a bookmark you are also decluttering and helping the environment, and only takes about 5-10 minutes to make using simple origami. I will leave the link below.

Gosh - Foundation Primer Classic 

This facial primer is my most favourite ever, I apply it when I wake up and then apply the rest of my makeup, it leaves my skin unbelievably soft and I love it, it was fairly pricey at £12.99 per 30ml bottle but for the quality and velvetness it gives to the skin it is most definitely worth it. I purchased it from Superdrug after sampling it many times in the store and loving the feeling it left on my skin, my friends also said the product seemed as if it would be good. But for the price I was weary so I looked at some reviews and the Superdrug review and on the website the product has a 4.9 star rating out of 5 stars.

So if you are looking for a new primer or even just softer skin then I would definitely recommend this. Also I would like to tag anyone reading this to either write a blog post or comment about your favourite beauty item so far in 2013 as this is definitely one of mine! :D
