Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel eyeliner 24hour wear

 After hearing about this on the wonderful http://www.beaut.ie/ I knew I had to give it a go. I usually use pencil eyeliner as I find liquid quite tricky to work with  and I can only use it when it comes in a pen! I use 17's Soft liner eye pen in Soft Jet.

I bought this in Boots for the introductory price of 8.99 euros, good really, you are getting gel eyeliner and a brush. Usually I tend to throw away brushes I get with products because well.. they usually suck. But this brush is good, really good.

The gel eyeliner is really easy to use and doesn't drag or crease. It lasts ALL DAY which I was really impressed by. Another thing which I was really happy about was that there was no awful tatooing of the upper eyelids (you know when after a while the eyeliner smudges on the upper eyelid creating a sort of half moon shape that makes you look like a crazy person...)

It's only available in Black for now but I'm sure we will be seeing some new colours soon!

New staple in my make-up bag I think!! :)

Review: 17 Mirror Shine Lipstick in Beehive

When I was browsing around the 17 counter in Boots I had a dilemma. I couldn't decide between  this 17 mirror shine lipstick in Flirtini or another interesting shade called Beehive.

I went with the former but after reading the forums on the fabulous http://www.beaut.ie/ where people were raving about this colour I decided I must go back and purchase Beehive. As you do. (I'm a beaut.ie addict, anything they recommend I will happily try out haha)

 I'm not exactly sure of the price but it was around a fiver I think.. will update later with exact price! :)

The colour is gorgeous, in the bullet it's exactly the pinky toned nude you see in this pic.



On the lips

 It leaves your lips moisturised and glossy without being sticky and I think the colour is perfect for a neutral daytime look or even to pair with smoky eyes at night.
One of my new staple lip products I think! :)
