Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner

Yes gaze upon the product in all its glory. I thought i would make full use of the lovely British weather which we have been granted with lately, hence the stony background. I bought this for £19 aboard the British Airways plane on the return from my holiday in the sun, if I am honest I think I got quite a deal. A full size pot usually retails for £17 and I got 2 slightly smaller pots for £19! I mean how fast do you go through eye-liners?

For me the packaging is absolutely chick and stylish, classic Bobbi Brown. I had heard many bloggers go crazy over these eye-liners and their amazing qualities.

I forgot to mention you also get a miniture of their 'ultra fine eye-liner brush' which is very handy.

The colours are 'Black Ink' and 'Sepia Ink'. Black Ink is your average everyday black and Sepia Ink is a dark brown, although it gives your eyes a softer appearance. They apply very smoothly onto my eyelid with minimal hassle, always good. And they last all day. There is no chance that this product will come off your lid in the day, even if there was some random rainstorm. I am telling you now, its a lifesaver eyeliner.

There is nothing bad to say bout this product and i can tell you i will be using it for a very long time.

Have you tried this fabulous product? What did you think?

Rimmel Special eyes eyeliner - Black Magic

I think i will be forever in-love with my Soap&Glory SuperCat liquid eye-liner, but i cannot really use it on my water line or create that smudgy look which all of us long to perfect. So i opted for this Rimmel Special eyes eye-liner for £2.99 in Boots. So this wont make a big hole in your wallet.

The packaging is not fantastic but seems pretty durable, does it's job.

 I used this on my lid for testing purposes, i have so say it applied well and felt great to begin with. However by the end of the night it had smudged where my top lid meets the upper part of my eye (when i open my eyes), i hadn't even noticed until the end of the night!

I also used it on my water line, and that stayed on brilliantly! It was still there in place by the end of the night, and i have quite watery eyes therefore most eye-liners smudge off.

 From the swatch below you can see it is a deep black with a lot of pigmentation!

Overall i really like this product for my waterline only definitely not my lid.

Vivo Gel Liner- Black Swan

I know i have posted oodles of Vivo posts... but this will be my last for a while, i promise.

This is the Vivo Gel liner in Black Swan and it is £3.49, you can buy it from Vivo-link- or you can now buy it from Tesco!

 This is the second gel eye-liner i have tried it my lifetime, as generally i have been a bit scared of them. Where as this one is very easy to use, it come with a soft yet firm brush at the top of the applicator, and a little pot with the product in. I apply it using a small angled brush as i just find it easier to apply.

When you put your brush in, it feels very dry - not gel like at all. I had a bit of trouble with the brush that came with it, as i felt like it took the eye-liner in clumps, you might want to keep that in mind when buying it.

I applied it on my hand to see what it looks like, as sadly i am rubbish at taking eye photos. It looks quite dry, you can build up the pigment to get the bold look it you want.

With this product i would not touch your eyes as it wears off easily!

Overall this is an OK product, nothing i would reccomend highly.

Vivo Haul!

So its September, one of my favourite months, it means going back to school/work (not so good) and the leaves fall off the trees. So i thought why not start September on a happy note- a Vivo Haul!
I am very excited to try all these products (expect a whole bunch of Vivo reviews).
All this (excluding the 1 item not from Vivo) cost me £11 in the 50% off sale, so it usually is £22.

This Trio eye-shadow palette is called Bronze Me Up, and it has a beautiful highlighter shade for your browbone, i can tell i am going to get tons of use out of this one. From what i can tell the pigment is 'ok'.

Is it retailed for £2.50.

Swatches of the colours in order are shown below.

Next i bought was a primer, can't say anything about this yet as i have not tried it.Though it is said mattifying. It is £6.00 usually.

I also this Beauty Balm in warm ivory, as my skin has been good lately so i wanted something lightweight. It is usually £5

Also i bought this Under Eye Roll on concealer, again haven't tried it yet. (£3.59)

Another item was the Gel Liner which was £3.49.

Finally from Vivo i bought this Lip Gloss which isin shade 6- Heavenly. It is quite a Deep Berry colour perfect for winter!

From Boot i ordered a Real Techinque's Expert Face brush on a whim!
