Sleek Ink Pot Gel Eyeliner // Review

Image
I had been on the lookout for a new gel eyeliner for a while, I've only tried what I believe is more of a cream eyeliner by BYS which did not make me think much of gel eyeliners except they smudged easily and didn't last long, until I came to the realization that I needed to set it with a shadow. Here are the gel liners that were contending for my attention: Essence gel eyeliner in Midnight in Paris; with no Essence near me and it never being available on the Priceline website, not to mention they are apparently being discontinued was a bit of a challenge for me. Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Gel Eyeliner ; I had heard it took a while to set which I aint got no time for that.... except maybe if I had only used it as a waterline eyeliner... Coastal Scents/ Makeup Geek eyeliner ( Immortal); looks extremely pigmented but I had tried another gel eyeliner before like this that had dried out really fast. Maybelline & L'oreal: I have heard a lot of good things about these.....

Rebel With A Cause

Image
 I hope everybody had a lovely ANZACS day yesterday, well to those who celebrated. It has started to feel like summer again, which I will appreciate before winter comes! Ugh some "bad" news, I have started to develop a sty underneath my eye, I'm going to avoid makeup in that area but hope it goes away soon! So I've had MAC's Rebel for a while now and I've used it a couple of times but nothing that I've really felt the urge to post. It's also a colour I've found hard to use, thanks for accidental over lip lining. I've found one way that I really like to wear it, as a stain, and I would really like to start wearing it more frequently in the cooler months.

Lip Inventory 4: Nudes

Image
This post has been the longest time coming! But here we are for the 4th installment of my lipstick collection, nude lipsticks. As this has been a while in the making I may have bought a few new ones since I've put together these pictures. I think my lip colour will be forever growing so it would be impossible to keep this properly updated. Here are all my current nude lipsticks. Most of them look very similar and some are varying shades of nude that probably push the boundaries, but what the hey. L-R. MAC Hue, MAC Myth, Nyx Black Label Lipstick in Nude, Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle, Revlon Matte Lipstick in Smoked Peach, Revlon Matte Lipstick in Nude Attitude, MUG Shy, BYS Champagne Rain, Nyx Round Lipstick Summer Rain, Nyx Round Lipstick Iris Hue is a pink based nude, very creamy and can go on quite sheer if you prefer that look. A light beige colour that is also extremely creamy, can you see the digs on the side of the bullet? It happens a lot to heaps of my lipsticks it is s...

In The Light & Morange // FOTD // Double Post

Image
Orange lips with light neutral eyes was a favourite look of mine a few weeks ago, sometimes I would even incorporate blue eyeliner into the look as well. I haven't been using my Stila In The Light palette too much lately but at this time I was getting good use out of it. Look 1 ~Products Face : Bourjois Healthy Mix & Rimmel Wake Me Up Fdtn, Model's Prefer Illuminator, NARS Laguna, MAC Lightscapade, Nyx Stick Blush in Orchid, Bourjois Blush #16.

Sleek Pout Paints // Review & Swatches

Image
Lipsticks used to be the most popular form of lip colour , but now there are many other types available such as stains and paints, the latter in the likes of OCC {Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics}, Sleek & Australis & probably many more, with OCC being the most well known. I have only tried the Sleek Pout Paints as of late, and wish I had tried some earlier! Lip paints are becoming quite popular as it has an advantage of easily mixing any colour combinations to create any colour that you desire. Obviously most people wouldn't wear colours such as white or blue alone, but they are good for changing the tone & brightness so you can basically have whatever you want! L-R: Pinkini, Peachy Keen, Cloud 9, Peek-a-bloo Packing: "Sleek" clear tubes with black lids and a tiny opening for product control. Texture: Very oily, as you can see with the white & blue that if they have not been shaken thoroughly first the oil sits on top. They glide on the lips when applied...
