Today I Feel Like A Review.

My eyelashes are naturally long so when choosing a mascara I don't really need to stress over something that's going to give me the length I don't have. I bought Bourjois Volume Fast & Protect Mascara because I just thought it was the coolest thing ever to have a mascara that rotates, sucker for gimmicks, I know. But to my surprise, it's a pretty awesome mascara. You can go from 'natural' looking lashes to really full-on impact- I've had people ask me if I'm wearing false eyelashes more than once! The only drawbacks for me is that sometimes if you rub your eye, even the slightest pressure causes it to leave those black fallout things scattered across my cheeks. Also, taking it off is a murder, I've never had a time when there's not been some left over the next morning.

Just my thoughts on the matter. :) What do you think?

Hey Everyone,
This is something a bit more dramatic than I would probably wear out of the house just because I am so pale- I think black on the waterline makes me look a bit 'troubled'.
Having said that, I really enjoyed doing it and maybe one day I'll be brave enough to step outside with racoon eyes and astound the world.

I used Urban Decay Primer Potion in 'Sin' as my base then I pressed 'Suspect' all over the lid and 'Smog' in the outer corner, both by UD. I then used a very small brush to add Bourjois eyeshadow in '08' into the inner corner and under the brow bone. 

I added the smallest amount of the matte black from the Sleek 'Au Naturel' pallet (dusking most of it onto the back of my hand prior to application) and blended into the socket to really deepen the look. I finished it off using Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner to do a medium line around the entire eye and a thick coat of Collection 2000 Super Size Mascara. As a concealer I used Touche Éclat by YSL.

Hi,

For Christmas I was very, very lucky with the things that I got and I even got some makeup related things too that, quite frankly, are to die for. The first thing that I want to share with you is an eyeshadow that every time I'd walk past in Boots I'd end up looking at it longingly for a good couple of minutes every single time. It just spoke to me. So I proudly present Bourjois eyeshadow in the shade '08'. It's the most finely milled shimmer, I'd use it specifically for my eyes but I tried it as highlight and it looks so nice on the cheekbones too. It works best when used with your fingers and it stands out significantly more when used with a primer (I use UD Primer Potion in 'Sin'). I can't believe I've never had this in my possession before, I was definitely missing out!

Hello,
It's been a while, I know. Merry Christmas!
I've done a festive look that I think would be lovely for New Years Eve, especially for those who want something different but aren't willing to go all out glitz . A bit of blue eyeliner and you're away.
Hope you like it, more looks to come!

I put a wash of Bourjois '08' eyeshadow across my whole lid with my finger and then with a medium sized brush pushed 'Money' from the UDNY pallet into the outer half of my eye and blended a tiny amount of matte brown on top of it. 

I then wet a small eyeliner brush and used 'Radium' to line my eyes, also from the Urban Decay New York pallet. My eyebrows are filled in with with a mix of black and dark brown powder with an angled brush. I then finished off with YSL Touché Eclat under my eyes and on my brow bone.

Hi guys,

Maybelline KohlExpress

Urban Decay 24/7

The saying 'you get what you pay for' seems to be relevant a lot of the time in the makeup industry. I thought I'd do a series on the high-end things I have vs high-street items. It's Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in the shade Zero and Maybelline Kohl Express Eyeliner Pencil in the shade Glam Black. The UD pencil comes out as a creamy, jet black line which I know will last me the whole day while the Maybelline comes out as a hard, grey/black which is pretty but not what it is designed to be. It lasts the whole day with a primer but I'm afraid I've never had a panda-free day when I've not used a base. The winner is clear but what are your experiences of these eyeliners?

Hi there!
Eye of The Day for you now, it's a bit different from what I'd normally do but I felt a bit of high-fashion running through me this morning. I just used a Rimmel kohl pencil and did a mega wing and faded it out as it reached highest part of my eyelid. My mascara is Bourjois Volume Fast Perfect Mascara. What do you think?
