Eyeliner 101

Now I did pre-warn on a previous post that content would be sparse in the next two months due to A levels, but a whole week... Is that dust starting to form on here? I couldn't avoid my blogging itches any longer so let us begin with a simple question...

What is a world without eyeliner? Certainly a place with smaller eyes, thats what. Eyeliner has and always will be a not so secret weapon in any girl's make up bag and the variety on offer makes for an endless list of options.

MONTHLY FAVOURITES: March

Cheryl's Nude Lipstick Swatch

So this month has been hecka exciting; I finally turned the big 18 and can now do... well just about anything! To celebrate, I had a house party with friends and a big family dinner the day after.

Unfortunately, blogging is gradually going to be taking a bit of a back seat for these next 2 months as my once seemingly free schedule is being invaded by revision for A levels. It makes me toes curl in disgust just typing it. Of course I will still be posting, it'll simply be a little less frequently.

Bleurgh, anyway enough with that, on with the favourites!

5 Steps To: Bigger Eyes

Finding ways to make the eyes appear bigger has proven quite the mission. One in which I've still yet to fully solve. However along the journey, Ive definitely picked up a few tips and tricks that have been more than useful in my conquest.  

The Sunday Edit: Small Drugstore Haul

So instead of revealing my week to you all, (which to be honest, hasn't been much) I thought I would make it a tad more interesting and share a few bits I picked up at the drugstore. Some are standard repurchases and others are what have been cropping up more recently; curiosity and advertising simply won me over. 

Boxing Day Beauty Picks

So its been... a while. I know there's no room for excuses but I've been beyond busy this holiday with family, so much so, I haven't even gotten round to doing an ounce of college work. There goes my fabulous mock results. 

Anyways, I wanted to quickly share the few beauty bits I picked up while doing my rounds on Boxing day. It's certainly not a lot, but my focus this year was to mainly update what was hanging in my wardrobe and so when it came round to beauty, my budget was pretty much blown. 

I did however find the No7 liners in boots hidden on the corner of the shelves, and it just so happened to the very last one. I couldn't really refuse and figured it was just plain fate. Swatching them, they seem to have a soft, creamy formula, so I'm looking forward to trying them out. 

Lastly, while queuing at the tills in Topshop, I found these gems at a wondrous price of £3 a piece. I've already tested these beauties out and they're amazing; quick to apply and will not budge!

I hope you all had a wonderful christmas but since its already New Years Eve, I wish you all a happy New year! 

THOUGHTS: Rimmel ScandalEyes Felt Tip Liner

I will admit, Ive been quite lazy this past week. I do tend to love experimenting with shadow combinations on a daily basis, but It's all just gone a bit down hill if I do say so myself. So during my so called 'sloth week' Ive just been sticking to a simple winged liner and my statement lip of choice, which has recently been my new RiRi Woo.

Despite my love affair with the mighty gel liner, this new product has been my newest weapon of choice.

I'm a huge drugstore make up fan and I think the brands on the high street really have improved to the point that some of their products are of equal or maybe even better standard than those in the high end spectrum. This title has been floating round the blogger's world and youtube for a while and I've been meaning to give it a whirl but i'm just going to put this out there right now.. I'm a massive procrastinator. So it has taken me a while to finally drag my butt up and route through my collection for some gems. I thought it would be quite a task but it took me a mere few minutes to pick them out, so much so, I may have to do another post!

But anyway, I hope you find this useful or at least interesting!

SUMMER SELECTIONS SERIES: Beach Beauty Essentials

Summer is in full bloom and as per usual England is nothing but a nasty rain cloud (which is really not surprising) However, in order to brighten up my mood I have been thinking about some beach essentials that I will be needing when I go on holiday and have the opportunity to tan by the sea!
