Quick Rave: Felt Tip's for your eyes!

I've never been a big fan of applying liquid eyeliner, purely because I can be so heavy handed that it goes everywhere.  That was until I found this lovely product, Collection Cosmetics' Extreme 24hr Felt Tip Liner.

I really like Collection Cosmetics and they have so many great products and are all at an affordable price.  I purchased this liner in black in Superdrug for £2.99 and loved it so much I went back to get a purple one.  The packaging is very sleek and it looks like a normal pencil liner so you can keep it with your pencils which is handy. Also, I love that they have put a sample of the shade at the end of the pen, so if you are storing it upright, you can easily pick out the colour you want.

What I love about this product is that it gives you a crisp, sharp line just like a liquid eyeliner but with more control. We're all used to using felt tip pens, even if it is from when we were young and at school so making the leap from an eyeliner pencil to this felt tip liner is alot easier than jumping to a liquid liner brush.  

This liner comes in a range of different shades which is great if you want to create some bright and fun designs.  The consistency of the product is nice and allows you to build the colour with a few layers.  It is also very long lasting, just as the name states it is a 24hr extreme liner and although I haven't officially tested it for 24hours (I mean who actually wears their make-up for a whole day!) but it lasts me all day without moving or fading, so thats probably from 8am until 10pm, so a good 19 hours! Wow!

I would really recommend trying this product if you find liquid liners intimidating as it gives you a lot more control over your application.  I find the tip of the pen is quite bendy, so it still allows you to create flicks etc.

This is just a quick and simple liner flick I created to show you how sharp the liner can look.

This is definitely my favourite eyeliner at the moment, I think it will take a lot to beat this product for me!

What's your favourite type of eyeliner?

Product Review: Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner

I hadn't heard anything about this product, no massive adverts on TV with the latest Supermodel/Superstar, but I came across it during my weekly peruse of the Boots.com website and the latest items section.
I have to say I was curious, so I popped into my local Boots and picked up one of these baby's for £7.99 and it was definitely worth the money!

If you ever have problems trying to draw your eye liner close enough to your lashes to make it look seductive and sexy, but in reality you end up 3mm away and leaving a white line inbetween then this is a 'must have' for you.  The brush allows you to apply the liner directly to the lash line, pushing the colour into the roots and by using gentle strokes you can get a nice smooth line across the length of the lash line.

Because of the consistency of the liner, it is easy to apply and depending on how much you pile onto the brush will determine how the liner will go on. Make sure you keep the brush fresh and clean and you will get a smooth line every time.

Although the pot looks quite small, there is a lot of product in there and you don't need to use very much when you're applying it so I think it will last a long time.

I think this is a great product, and once it has dried, the gel liner is smudge proof and lasts all day!
