Possibly The Best Eye Liner Ever? Kat Von D Tattoo Liner

For the longest time my absolute favourite eye liner has been the Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner and I hadn't found anything I liked more, until a few months ago when I started using the little sample of the wonderful Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, I honestly never thought I'd love a pen style liner, but I adore this so bloody much! Getting a really good solid black line is so easy, the lines are straight and easy to control. 

The nib on this is super fine, and surprisingly sturdy. You can honestly get as thick or as thin as a line as you need, and you can get such a good flick with it, it is just the most perfect nib. 

The line you can create from the Kat Von D liner is super pigmented and so so dark, I don't think I've ever used such a black liner. Its so opaque, and honestly its kind of unreal - who knew such lines were even possible?  Once its set, it won't budge at all. But its easy to take off with cleanser, so its not impossible to get off, no worries lads and laddettes. 
Its definitely the best the best liner I've used in ages, and I'll be buying myself the full sized version very soon - possibly while I'm down in London soon! 

Stila In The Light Palette Review

 For awhile now I've been wanting to try something a little different with my make-up, the only way I could think of was to add eye shadow in. I'm not a huge eye shadow wearer and if I do wear it, the it is usually just one colour. Nothing fancy. After seeing this appear on quite a few blogs - quite awhile ago - I decided I'd put it on my little wish list of things.
For my birthday my cousins were kind enough to buy me this, I was really happy when I saw it even a little surprised. I love the natural eye looks that some people do, and now I have a lovely little palette to try re-create them myself. I think recently they redesigned the packaging, since now there is a huuuge mirror built in.

The palette contains 10 colours, I would say that half are matte and the other half shimmer. Being a shadow novice, I'm most likely to stick with the matte colours and for now the lighter colours. I will eventually branch out and try a look with shimmers and the darker colours. The palette also comes with a Smudge Stick in the colour "Damsel". I've never owned a brown eye liner  but I think this will be lovely for those more natural days, when I still want a bit of liner. 

Pigmentation of these shadows is amazing, the pictures really don't do them justice. The last a long time on the eye, and would last even longer if you used a primer first. Some of the matte colours aren't nearly as pigmented as the shimmery ones but I'm not too fussed. The Smudge Stick, now that is just amazing. It glides on, and boy o boy does it last. It has phenomenal lasting power, so much so that its a little tricky to remove. Its a very dark brown, so if your not usually a fan of brown eye liner you'll probably get on quite well with this.  

The palette also came with a little look book. I love things like this, anything that tells me how and where to put the shadow is a massive plus in my books. It gives you 6 different looks to create yourself, ones that are extremely wearable on a daily basis to those that you may only wear when going out. 
Te palette has a lot of pretty colours, my 3 favourites (just by how they look) are "Kitten", "Luster" and "Night Sky". They look really pretty, but I don't think they would go together very well. 

I'm currently waiting on some Real Techniques eye brushes to be delivered, as soon as they arrive the fun shall begin. I'm going to have quite a bit of fun creating looks with this palette. 

Have you tried this palette? Or are you wanting to try it?

Max Factor | Glide & Define Liquid Eyeliner

I've been on the hunt for a good eyeliner, one of the pen style ones. I'd had a few that were ok at first but soon dried out and became pretty crappy. I had never bought anything from Max Factor before, but thought that they were a really good brand so they would have a really good one. My hopes were high. There I sat giddy with anticipation. And when I had applied it I was grinning for ear to ear. I had applied winged eyeliner and it looked fab. I put it down to being the eyeliner - not that I had changed how I did it.

For awhile I thought I had found the perfect liner. Alas, I soon found that I was still on the hunt. Just like the rest it had begun to dry out and the colour had started to look more grey than black. Occasionally it works like a dream, just like the first time I applied it. Other times it looks like I've had it for many many years.
Overall, I'm pretty disappointed, my hopes were so high for this. In boots you can pick this up for £6.99. Maybe it was just my one that is a bit on the dry side, I'm quite sad that this isn't what I hoped it would be, especially since the first time I used it was so amazing.
