June 2012 Favourites!

Another month, another monthly favourites! So lets take a look at what Im loving this month...

Not many new products as I've been trying to save my money for DisneyLand, only a week today, Yayy!:)

Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Your Beauty Skin Makeup, Eruc Beige
For some reason, I haven't gotten round to reviewing this yet. Which is actually quite strange considering its been one of my holy grail, every day use's since Easter. This is the lightest shade I think, and Im quite pale even in summer so this is great for pale skinned girls! Its thin, but not to thin and blends with ease into the skin. I have normal, moisturised skin with oily patches around my nose. And this lasts all day on me!

MeMeMe Beat The Blues, Moonbeam
I've been loving this as a highlight this month! It's a sheer, shimmery pink shade which blends easily into the skin. I find some pink shades of blush really hard to wear on my skin, but this looks amazing. It lasts all day, but I won't be revealing to much as this is next on my hit list to review!

NYC Cheek Glow Blush, Central Park Pink
I think this was in one of my favourites a few months ago, but once again this has been pulled out my makeup draw everyday. I've been loving the nude, peachy shade of this blush. Aswell as its staying power, lasting almost all day!

Benefit Bad Gal Lash
I got this free with glamour magazine this month, as Im sure almost every other beauty blogger out there has been doing. I've been obessed with this mascara lately using it for a base, while layering with other mascaras. It gives volume, length and a coat of black mascara to your lashes. You can check out my full review here


Avon Glow Powder Eyeshadow, Golden Sand
My nana actually bought this product, mistaking it for something else and giving it to me. Its really hard to explain the colour of this eyeshadow other then a sort of yellow sand colour, likewise the name. After applying this over eye primer it lasts all day, and doesnt fade or crease. Strangely I've been wearing this with golds this month and it looks quite nice.

BeautyUK Lipstick, In The Buff
I got this a week or two ago, but didnt see the point of hauling it as I only got one product. Since purchasing this I've worn it non stop! Im in love with the scent of it. Mint, but not overpowering mint. However you can barely smell it once applied to the lips. Its a sort of  "my lips but better" shade but slightly more red. I'll definitely be reviewing this soon, so watch this space!

Review: Collection 2000 Fix Me Up Make-Up Fixer

Im a huge fan of Collection aka Collection 2000! So when they announced the release of two new products, Fix Me Up Make-UP Fixer and Primed and Ready Primer, I just had to go out and get the Make-up Fixer!

Not the best lighting, but sadly the suns gone in already where I live :(

Im obessed when it comes to keeping makeup stay on, and look good! And this certainly helps do the job, Collection recommend 3-4 sprays on the face for a guaranteed dusk till dawn perfect look. However the nozzle of which the product comes out is quite small so I had usally use around 5, also the bottle itself is quite smaller then you would imagine. Therefor I would recommend keeping this for specail occasions to help save on product. 

I definitely saw a improvement in my foundation, concealer and blush with this thing! I managed to get a extra 4+ hours without any fading or patching up at all. It does have a small scent to it though, which may put some people off but you cant notice it at all once its sprayed onto your face.

After spraying onto my face, it felt sort of damp, but that soon sorted itself within a minute or two leaving me with a matte finish. Overall I would highly recommend this for specail occasions likewise weddings or birthdays, It helps makeup stay on a extra 4+ hours depending on if you spray it evenly enough. You can purchase this from Superdrug or Boots for £5.99.

Have you tried any Collection products that you've loved?:)

Monthly Empties - June 2012

Im really impressed by how many products I managed to get through this month! I've still got quite a few other products I wish to get through in the next month, mainly all back logged from Christmas or Easter. Aswell as cutting down my makeup collection so I can try more new things, and use my old stuff.
So here's my Monthly Empties for this month....

8 products this month, Its a new record! Even though I've only been doing these posts for 2 months....
I got through two packs of makeup remover wipes this month.

Impulse
Im sure at one point in your life, most of you have came across these in Superdrug, for £1.99. I have half finished these 3 for a good few month now and my aim this month was to completely finish them as they were just collecting dust. In left to right I have: Very Pink Body, True Love, Into Glamour. They lasted around 1-2 and a half hours without needing to respray, you get a okay amount for the price. These come in quite a range of scents, so theres something for everyone.

Nivea Smooth Nourishing Hand Cream
I got this in a gift box a while ago and havent got round to using it properly until recently. You can buy this from Superdrugs and I think Boots aswell, a 30ml tube costs £1.49, which is just a small sample size as I've got it. Or you can get a larger one, 100ml for £3.39. I love this hand cream! It definitely keeps them nourished and moisturised for a good few hours, and I've found it helps with my nail growth aswell. It makes your hands feel baby smooth, which Im sure anyone loves!

Nivea Visage Gentle Cleansing Wipes
Some how i used up two packs this month, when usally I only ever use 1 and a bit of another? Anways, I cant find these on the Superdrug Website or Boots. But I imagine they would be in the £2-£3.50, pretty good value for money considering what you get. These easily remove makeup from the face, Im not to sure about waterproof mascara though as I don't use that. They leave you skin feeling moisturised and fresh feeling.

Sally Hansen Strengthing Polish Remover
This is my 2nd or 3rd bottle of this stuff. Its amazing! It removes your nail polish easily within a few swipes. Leaving you with a clean, moisturised and strengthened nail. I have naturaly soft, thin nails and this does wonders for it! I have seen a definite improvement in my nails since I've started using this and will continue too. I got this from Superdrug, but you can get this from Boots to for a striken under £2 I think!

NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Powder
I think I mentioned this in a post somewhere that I hit pan on this really quickly, like literally a week after purchasing this I hit pan! Its seem to drag by though for a extra 3-8 weeks. Until about 2 weeks ago I opened it one morning to apply it and It was all in pieces like this....

Neverless it was still totaly worth buying this powder! It sets liquid makeup brilliantly, and definitely extends the lasting time for foundation. I wouldn't say it was amazing for covering up imperfections of the face, but much more a setting powder. I have normal moisturised skin, with oily patches around my nose, but I still managed to get about 3-5 hours out of this which I think is great for a drugstore powder! If I was to repurchase this I would definitely get the loose powder!

Review: Benefit Bad Gal Mascara!

If you read my blog regularly you will know that I'm a sucker for mascara! I mainly go for drugstore mascara, but when glamour magazine teamed up with Benefit. And gave away free mini bad gal mascara's I just had to get my hands on one!

Let's take a look at the wand...

I'm quite a fan of the packaging on this mascara. Its not to basic, yet not to over the top with design. The mascara comes in a black tube with a sliver reflective lid/handle. With Benefit written on the bottom of the tube. Very chick, very stylish.

Due to this mascara being a sample, it doesn't have the full size wand. However the wand on this mascara is fairly easy to work with. The bristles seem quite large considering this mascara is only a sample, but the bristles/wand definitely do contribute to the final look helping to give your lashes the extra boast and added volume. I'm obsessed with large wands as you all know, but with the actually bristles on the wand, I would suggest being very care full as I occasionally get mascara on my lid. 

The formula's great. Likewise NYC's City Curls, this is yet another mascara I've came across that doesn't seem to clump at all! I wouldn't say the formula really thickens your eyelashes, but it does make a great base for other mascaras or you could apply a few coats. It easily added volume, minimum length and a thin coat of black mascara to my lashes. These photos just don't do it Justice! 

Overall I would recommend this mascara if you've got the £16.50 to fork out for it. As I have tried other mascara's in the past that have produced similar results. Never the less it boasted my straight lashes, to create these lovely natural day time ones. Sadly I don't think I will be purchasing the full size product though.

£20 Makeup Challenge!

I seen loads of videos on youtube of beauty guru's doing the £20 Makeup Challenge. And after reading Sharna's ( link ) post on the £20 Makeup Challenge, I thought It would be real fun to do it myself. Mixing it up abit from the regular reviews, hauls, favourites ect.ect.

So these are the products I choose...

Total = £19.18

MUA Pro BB Cream, Light £4 - It covers up imperfections really well, and leaves a dewy, sheer, finish. It lasts all day, the formula is quite thick. But looks fine once blended into the skin.

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer, Fair £4.19 - Easily the best concealer I've ever tried! The formula is also thick, but its really easy to blend. And leaves medium to full coverage. It lasts longer then the 16 hour promise, and doesn't crease.

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Powder, Fair £2.99 - Sets liquid makeup really well, and doesn't make you look too powdery leaving a natural, Matt finish. It doesn't really last 16 hours, I would say more 4-5 hours.

MUA Pro Eye Primer, £2.50 - I've reviewed this in the past due to its amazing quality! It keeps eyeshadow and eyeliner in place all day, and the eye makeup doesn't fade away or crease either. For the price its a shocker, which i will continue to repurchase!

MUA Mascara, Shade 5 £1 - Lengthens, separates and adds a black coat of mascara to your lashes. As well as adding minimum volume perfect for the everyday look. Does flake slightly, but for the price its perfect!

MUA Pro 3 in 1 Contour Eye Pen, Sage £1.50 - As some of you may know, I'm a sucker for bright eye shades like green, blue and purple. This eye pen is a bright green shade, it lasts all day over eye shadow primer. It doesn't crease or fade away and you get a fair amount for the price.

MUA Intense Colour Eye Pencil, Snow White £1 - I cannot live without this eyeliner! I use it everyday on my waterline, it glides on creamy and pigmented. It lasts all day, and doesn't smudge, fade or crease.

MUA Love Heart's Range Lip Balm, Great Lips £2 - Whenever I go for bright eyes, I tend to add a hint of lip balm. Usually a nude colour. This is my go to lip balm! Its a nude/peachy colour, which is extremely moisturising and lasts about 2 hours. Its smells divine! Like a sweet, vanilla sent which I love!

Superdrug and Boots Haul!

While browsing the counters of Superdrug and Boot's today I picked up a few items...

Collection 2000 Hot looks nail polishes
Even though I already have more nail polishes then I could possibly ever need, Collection 2000's Hot Looks nail polishes caught my eye today in Superdrug. My favourite pink one, in Neon Art I think, is all dried up now and the formula's gone all gloppy. I've had it for a while now though, so I thought I'd try some more. I got shades left to right: Look At Me, Lemon Soda, Shimmy Snake, Big Hair and Blue Hawaii. I can't wait to try these out again!

Batise Dry Shampoo , Travel Size
I've been looking around on Blogger and Youtube lately for a good dry shampoo. While in Boots today I thought I'd try the Batise one in Floral and Flirty Blush. I sprayed some on my hand to smell it, well who wants to be putting something that smells horrid on their hair?! And it smelt very "fresh and clean" is the only way I can describe it. I can't wait to put this to the test after hearing amazing things about it!

MUA Lip Boom , Doin Good
Finally! I finally managed to get my hands on the other Lip Boom I wanted. I've been waiting about 2 month or something likewise. I swatched it in Superdrug and it looked gorgeous. I already own one of the Lip Booms in shade Cheeky and have a review up on. This Lip Boom is basically like MUA's shade 11 lipstick, but in Matt form with the highlighter of course. Its also one of the shades I like to call, "My lips but better."

Review: Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner

Lasting Colour Gel eyeliner is one of the new editions to the Collection 2000 range. After trying the Matt lip creams, and the powder and being impressed I thought I'd give this new product a go. The gel eyeliner comes in four shades: Black, Brown, Gold and Teal. They retail at £4.99, and are available from Superdrug and Boots.

It comes in a small box, equipped with a mini applicator. 

The box has instructions on the back on how to apply it, as well as a diagram. 

Here's a closer look....

Wow...

I'm so happy I decided to try this amazing new eyeliner! I've never really tired gel eyeliner before, but now I'm in love with it! This is really pigmented, and you can tell from the swatch above. That was only 1 swipe, so you don't have to keep going over it to get a more opaque finish. I only used a tiny amount too, so your getting even more for your money. Collection 2000's website claim the gel eyeliner provides 12 hour wear, however I managed to get a full day with no fading, smudging or eyeliner all over my lid. That was with eyeshadow primer though. From the appearance of the product on the eye, you wouldn't thing at all that this was a high street eyeliner! 

Due to my lack of eye brushes, I thought I would try it with the applicator provided with the eyeliner. I liked the finish look it gave, and it distributed the eyeliner fairly across the lid. But I would certainly say invest in a eyeliner brush if you don't already have one. Especially if you want a thin line, and want to wing it out. Anyone recommend a good eyeliner brush? 

The packaging is your classical glass pot, as you get with most gel eyeliner. The lid is plastic but still sturdy so the product stays nice and safe. I really like how Collection 2000 have concentrated on the product, rather then the packaging. As sometimes you can end up buying things just for the packaging right?

I just can't get enough of this product! And I will probably end up going out and purchasing the other 3 shades. I love everything about this product, pigmentation, lasting power, price tag and packaging. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of gel eyeliner, eyeliner or even trying out in gel eyeliner like me. It doesn't dry up in the pot either, so its definitely worth the £4.99!

NOTW: Skittle Nail Art

Slightly overdue, I know :(

This week I decided on Skittle's nail art, I've been wanting to try these out for ages but just kept forgetting! So this week after deciding to add a splash of colour to my nails I thought I would finally give them a go. This is my final outcome....

Here's what I used....

Left To Right:

• Sally Hansen Double Duty Base coat & Topcoat
• Sally Hansen Insta-dri Anti Chip Topcoat
• MUA Shade 6 
• MUA Love Heart Range U&I
• MUA Love Heart Range I WANT U 
• Barry M Matt White
• Barry M Indigo
• Barry M Cyan Blue 
• Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish Grassy Green 

I love this design! I originally was going to paint "skittles"  on my thumb but it couldn't fit, so I had to make be  with "skitt" instead. What do you guys think?

Another Superdrug Haul!

Just released I do hauls almost every week ... Yes I like make up and beauty related products ;)

So I went to town today and picked up some stuff, a few things I was in need off and some I've had my eye on for a while. So here's what I got.... 

Please let me know what you think of the lighten in this picture. 

Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make-up Remover 
This may sound ridiculous to some, but I have never tried eye make-up remover. I usually just use a make-up wipe when removing eye make-up. So today in Superdrug I thought why not? And picked up some considering it was on offer as well with 99p off, so It was only £2. I can't wait to try this out!
 
How freaky is this! When I was writing about that eye makeup remover the advert came on the telly and I was like woo, just thought I'd let you all know ;)

Collection 2000 Fix Me Up Make-up Fixer
This is a new product from Collection 2000, it launched in Superdrug's on Wednesday I think. Basically you do your make-up, spray some of this on your face and its supposed to make your makeup last all day. I mainly bought this to help make my foundation stay on longer, I'm super excited to try it and get a review up. As this is one of the few high street make-up setting sprays I've came across, correct me if I'm wrong.

MeMeMe Beat The Blues, Moonbeam
I've had my eyes on the MeMeMe Beat The Blues range for a while now. Except I couldn't decided weather to get Moonbeam or Sunbeam. I caved in today and bought Moonbeam, the Beat The Blue's are said to be great dupes for Benefits High beam and Moonbeam. So I'm looking forward to trying this out.


EcoTools Angled Eyeliner Brush
I've already got a few eyeliner brushes, but they aren't very good quality and don't pick up the eyeshadow very well. After reading great reviews of this brush on the Boots website and blogger, I thought I may swell give it go. I haven't tried it yet obviously, but when I took it out of the packaging thing I noticed it was soooo soft! Can't wait to try it tomorrow!

Top 4 Mascara's!

I was stuck on what to blog about tonight, and since I haven't blogged since Tuesday I thought a post was well overdue. So here we have it, my personal favourite Top 4 Mascara's!

Left To Right: Clinique High Impact, Miss Sporty Pump Up Lash Booster, NYC City Curls, Avon Super Shock.

These aren't going to be in any specif order, like my most favourite, 2nd favourite ect.ect

Just my top 4 favourites. 

So first on my list is, Clinique's High Impact. Which I got in the Clinique mascara swap about a month ago or something? The wand and formula of this mascara work hand in hand, to create a boost to your lashes. Which makes a massive difference from my usual straight outwards lashes, if that makes any sense. What I like about the formula is that it thickens lashes, which is one of the things my eye lashes seem to lack.  Depending on how you apply it, it can clump. It doesn't flake off, which is a added bonus. 

I'm not to sure if this was in one of my favourites posts a few months ago? But this mascara is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! For only £3.99 this has got to be one of my best mascara buys yet. I'm in love with the monster brush, its great for adding volume, minimal length and a thick coat of black mascara. The formula also contributes to this. I don't tend to go for lengthen mascara, as my lashes are already quite long. It doesn't flake off, and lasts about 16 hours. 

If your a regular reader of my blog, then you will know I constantly rave about this mascara! It's been in 2 monthly favourites, and I have a review up on it. In my opinion this is one of the best drugstore curling mascara's at the moment. It gives a natural curl to your lashes, which lasts all day. Its not very thickening, but you could layer it with another mascara for that or add more coats. However this mascara is perfect for day time wear, and it's probably one of the only mascara's I own that is IMPOSSIBLE to clump. No matter how many coats you add, and it doesn't flake off. 

So last, but not least, we have Avon's Super Shock mascara. I don't think this has been in any favourites for some reason, but I have reviewed this. First of I'm a massive fan of the formula of this mascara! Once again, like NYC's City Curls this mascara lacks in the thickening department. However it separates your lashes wonderfully, and gives them a definite boost and added volume. It gives you a thin coat of mascara, and clumps ever so slightly depending on how many coats you wear. It doesn't flake off either.

Review: Barry M Glossy Tubes

Since I've already done a review on the Barry M lip gloss wands, I thought why not do one on the glossy tubes as well?

I've got 4 of the glossy tubes, they are available from Superdrug or Boots for £3.99 and are available in 9 different shades. 

Left to Right: Buzz ( freebie from fabulous magazine a while ago), 1 Pink Sparkle, 4 Matt Pink, 11 Passion Pink.

The shades are in the same order as above.

For the price, and what they are, these glossy tubes are great! I usually tend to go for lip gloss wands, and avoid this type of  lip gloss. As I find wands to be less messy, but with these I don't really experience any mess. You can't complain for the pigmentation you get. At first they apply sheer, but you can easily build them up with a few coats. As for staying power they last about you average 2-3 hours, but still leave a sort of stain. 

Some of the colours are more wearable then others, I find 11 passion pink to be the one i wear most frequent. The shade I got free with fabulous magazine is easily a Matt Pink! Which is quite strange, because Barry M have named the 3rd shade along as Matt Pink. Were as I would of described it as more of a Matt Peach or Coral. Shade 1 Pink sparkle I find to be the most least wearable, as basically it's just a tube full of glitter. It might make a good lip highlight in the cupids bow, if you applied it lightly with a brush. Each of these lip gloss's has there own individual scent, just like the lip gloss wands. The scents smell amazing! 

The formula is quite thick for a lip gloss, were as I find most other lip gloss by other brands to be thinner. Never the less these glossy tubes are still moisturising, and don't dry your lips out. 

Overall these glossy tubes are great if your looking for something with great pigmentation, and a more then fair pigmentation. I really like these glossy tubes, and I'm quite tempted to purchase another one in shade Magic Green. Which is basically like the touch of magic lip paint, but in a lip gloss form.

Tutorial: Gradient Nails

Hey Guys!
So as you know every Sunday I paint my nails, and this week I thought instead of just doing a NOTW I would do a tutorial on how I did them. This week I thought I would attempt Gradient Nails.

I used....

• Sally Hansen Double Duty Base coat & Topcoat
• Sally Hansen Insta-dri Anti Chip Topcoat
• MUA Love Heart Range Nail Polishes in U&I, I WANT U, U ROK
• MUA Nail Polish in Shade 5
• 2 Glitter Nail Art Pens From Ebay in Gold and Blue
• A Sponge Eyeshadow Applicator 
• A Sheet Of Paper 

First....

 Apply a clear base coat to protect your nails, I applied 2 coats for maxium protection. I used the Sally Hansen Double Duty Base coat & Topcoat.

Next...

Taking MUA'S Shade 5 nail polish, I applied one coat of  this to 4 of my fingers. Then taking their U&I Shade from the Love Heart Range, I applied one coat of this to the remaining finger. Once all my fingers were dry I applied a second coat.

Then...

 I took MUA's Love Heart Range Shade U ROK, and poured a small amount onto the paper. Then I took the eyeshadow applicator and dabbed it slightly into the polish. Tapping of the excess onto the paper. I then dabbed it up 3/4 of my nails, which were painted blue. I did the same with the I WANT U polish on my nail that was painted yellow. After all my nails were dry, I dabbed more polish onto 2/4 of my nails.

Now...

I took the Blue and Gold nail art pens, and poured some of each onto the paper. Then dabbed a fairly opaque amount onto the tips of my nails, working it up to a more sheer amount. To help add to the Gradient look. I used the gold on my yellow nails, and the blue on my blue nails.
I finally applied a topcoat, I used Sally Hansen Insta-dri Anti Chip Topcoat.

This is how my nails turned out, click the photo to enlarge it.

This is possibly one of my most favourite designs! This look is incredibly versatile, being that you could use any colours. And as many amounts of colours as you want. This is the first time I've tried doing Gradient nails, and they were really easy.

What do you guys think? Have you tired Gradient Nails before?

Review: Lush The Comforter Bubble Bar!

So I've just finished writing my Superdrug and Lush Haul, so now I'm going to show you more of the amazing Comforter Bubble Bar in all its glory!

In case you don't know, with the Bubble Bars most people usually cut them up to which ever amount of pieces you like. Then you crumble the piece under running water into your bath. These are the results i got.... 

I loved the results! I was actually quite sad to get out off the bath. From the small piece I crumbled into the bath I managed to get loads of bubbles from it, and the water appeared much more pinker in real life then it does on the photos. The Bubble bar made the room smell lovely, the actually Bubble Bar itself smelt of "Sugar and Ice cream" in my Mums words. It was a real relaxing bath, and it definitely made a difference from the usually boring bubble bath I use.

For the price of the product, £4.15, you get a fair amount, I purposely went for the biggest bar I could find. Obviously because then your getting more value for your money. It was really easy to use, and I will probably end up buying more things from Lush. What do you guys recommend?

Thanks For Reading!xxx

Haul: Lush and Superdrug!

When I say "Lush and Superdrug Haul" I literally mean one thing from each shop. So I suppose you couldn't really class this as a haul, but in my poll you guys told me you like to read Hauls so here it is!

From Lush I got The Comforter Bubble Bar. Then from Superdrug I got one of the new Collection ( Collection 2000) Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliners in Black.

I've bought numerous things from Lush before, not for me though for friends. But today I finally caved in and decided to try out their Comforter Bubble Bar. As soon as I got home I cut it up to pieces and had a bath, let's just say I'll have a review up very soon ;)

I've recently become obsessed with eyeliner, in all colours and forms. I've never tired a gel eyeliner before, and when Collection announced there release I was very excited and couldn't wait to try one. This is in shade Black. I'll let you know how I get on in a few weeks.

Review: MUA Professional 3 in 1 Contour Eye Pen's!

If your a regular reader of my blog, you will noticed I've given it a makeover. Let me know what you think of it in the comments section below...

Let's set things straight, even though in my monthly favourites I feature pretty much neutral eye shadows and eyeliner. I'm going to be honest, I'm bold eye lover at heart! MUA Pro 3 in 1 Contour Eye Pen's can be purchased from any Superdrug that sells the MUA Pro range or MUA's website, with an amazing price tag of only £1.50.  And I've got two of these babies in Sage and Gunmetal. 

No sharpening needed, you just twist up the black bit at the top of the pen to reveal the product!

Left To Right: Gunmetal, Sage.

MUA Say's: 

"Create the look with this fantastic 3 in1 Contour Eye Pen. The angles of the nib allows you to create different looks whatever your occasion. Add drama by creating big and bold eyes, go glamorous for a soft and sulty effect, or define eyes for an ultra chic finish."

I've only recently started getting into wearing eyeliner again, and these are a easy go to! They glide on super pigmented onto the lid, within a few swipes they build up to fully opaque. The formula is very creamy and soft, almost butter like. I found these lasted pretty much all day on my upper lid and lower lash line, however I'm not certain on the waterline.

I really like the packaging! I especially like how you don't need to sharpen them, as I can be quite lazy when it comes to sharpening eyeliner. I think the matte black packaging, may not look exactly high end, but it certainly doesn't look cheap. My only problem being with these eyeliners is that it doesn't say the shade name on the packaging, so you would have to take the lid off and twist the product up to see what shade it was.

Overall I would highly recommend these eye pens! They're great for popping into your bag and for travelling, the nib allows you to create numerous looks so there's no need to carry around 3 different eyeliners with you. For pigmentation and lasting power you certainly can't complain! For the price these are fantastic, and I think I'll definitely be picking up another on my next travel to Superdrug.
