To-go Eyes… Review - H&M Eye Colour-to-go Pencils!

As I mentioned in my favourites, the H&M Eye Colour-to-go Pencil Cordoba has made it to the top of my best of H&M make up, well actually my best of make up in general!

I'm normally not really a fan of these kind of eye colour jumbo pencils - I often find that even though they swatch good, it doesn't translate on the lids and go on patchy and can be hard to blend out.

But I just couldn't pass up the beautiful colour of Cordoba, a creamy matte midtone brown, and decided to give it go.

Less than Sensational… Review - Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara!

When a new mascara is released on the high street, I'm always curious.

More than often however, I pass them up, when I've given them a closer look.

But the latest release from Maybelline really intrigued me.

Probably because it seemed like a fluttery version of one of my favourite high street mascaras from the same brand - the Maybelline Rocket Mascara.

Maybelline Lash Sensation Mascara in Black.

We all do it!… Product Battle - L'Oreal Color Riche Eye Colour Pencil vs. Sephora Jumbo Liner 12 HR Wear!

Yes, we all do it - get lured by the same type of products, colours, brands etc. over and over again.

This means, that we often end up with things very similar to each other - hell I have even bought the same lipstick twice without realising it!

I really try to be good about this, and I do actually have a few tips, such as having a wish list on my phone, and always giving it an extra thought, if it is not on that list, to avoid the above scenario to often.

However it did happen recently, when I came home with the new L'Oreal Color Riche Pencil and decided to do a bit of clean up in my eye liners and realised, that I already had a very similar colour from Sephora.

But hey, this gave me the opportunity to do product comparison, so it wasn't all bad - right? :-)

Close to Perfect… Review - Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara!

I found it - A mascara, that come as close to perfect as one might expect, when being a beauty junkie.

I never really gave Clinique make up the time of day, actually I never really considered Clinique a brand, I wanted to spend money on, after going through the obligatory teenage period with their cleansing system, which totally dried out my skin.

However after hearing countless people raving about this mascara, I had to try it.

And it became a favourite from first use!

Liquid Bronze… Review & Swatch - Rimmel London ScandalEyes Eye Shadow Paint!

In terms of make up, my eyes is probably the place, where I most often go for the easy option.

I always do my eyes last, and when I get to this step, I often find my self not having time to do a "real" eye look.

So one-step products like this liquid shadow from Rimmel London is very welcome in my collection.

Toasted Pomergranate... An Autumn Eye Look!

As you might know, I have kind of a love/hate relationship with Maybelline Color Tattoos.

The first two I got (the taupe one and the gold one), I hated.

But then I go the Bronze one and loved it - and now I found another one, I love.

Metallic Pomegranate is the perfect color for autumn - It is autumn in a pot!

And it happened to be the inspiration for this autumn eye look.

Wawawow Lash... Review - Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascara!

For me Revlon is one of the best on the high street, when it comes to mascara.

I saw this in Boots, I hadn't heard anything about, but the name really intrigued me.

So I went with it and after trying it out for a couple of days, I'm happy to say, that they hit the mark once again.

Join the army... Review and Swatch - L'Oreal Paris Color Infaillible in Sahara Treasure!

Yeah yeah, I know, I wasn't to keen about these Infaillible shadows at first.

But after trying out Forever Pink and still hearing every one raving about them, I decided to try out another one.

This time my eye fell on the colour Sahara Treasure.

Bright Lines Part Two.... Review & Swatch - GOSH Velvet Touch Eye Liner in Ocean Mist!

As promised another bright liner, so give your look a pop of colour.

See part one here.

GOSH isn't really a brand, that have ever been on the top of my list.

However they do have a few items, that are really great.

These Velvet Touch liners are really great - I have a few of them.

They are one of these super soft, easy to apply liners, that we all love.

Also they are waterproof, which make them last very well, which is great for the look, I use it for, as coloured liner on the cheeks isn't an attractive look.

Bright Lines... Review & Swatch - Make Up Store Eyepencil in Frosted Medow!

I've been very into adding a bright colour along my lower lash line.

It is an easy and not to "loud" way to add a bit of colour.

So I have been lusting after the Nars Limited Edition Eyeliner in Barrow Street, that they came out with recently.

But I'm way to cheap to pay £ 18,- for a liner, which essentially could be categorised as vomit green:-)

But then I found this one from Make Up Store, which is pretty much the same.

Aqua Eyes... Review & Swatch - Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream!

Make Up For Ever is not normally a brand I gravitate towards on my weekly visits to Sephora.

I had an okay, but very short relationship with the Smoky Lash Mascara (it dried up very quickly) and haven't since been overly excited by the brand.

But then something came over me, and one day I found my self swatching almost every one of their Aqua Creams, which is their take on the cream shadows.

As the cream addictive I am, I had to get one.

I ended up with shade 13 (would love if, they gave them some proper names!), which is a very pretty metallic pink champagne shade.

Smooth lines... Review & Swatch - Sephora Contour Eye Pencil 12HR wear!

Recently I have been very into eye liners in different colours.

And I especially like creamy ones, that lasts all day.

When browsing Sephora before my exam last week, these caught my eye.

A hint of blue... Review & swatch - Rimmel London Scandal'eyes Shadow Stick in Blamed Blue!

Another hit from Rimmel London.

Initially I wasn't going to get any of these, but when I swatched this one, I couldn't resist.

(and it was on offer - always a good excuse for buying).

Let Me Blue Your Mind.... Review and Inspiration - Wet N' Wild ColorIcon in Blue Had Me At Hello!

For spring/summer I like a bit colour pop on my eyes.

This Wet n' Wild palette has some great blues, so create a lovely summer look.
And the price justify getting it only for summer use:-)
(they also do one with purples, I really want).

Lash Pump... Review - Mavala Double-Lash!

I have been quite curious about lash serums, and really wanted to try one, that wouldn't cost me a months shopping budget.

I do have a few sparse areas, but besides that okay lashes.

But can one ever have to many or to long lashes? - I don't think so!

So I went into it, and got the Mavala Double-Lash, which promises longer and denser lashes at a very sensible price-tag (£ 10,80 at feelunique.com)

Lash Rocket... Review - Maybelline Rocket Volum' Express Mascara!

Another mascara caught my eye recently.

 To be honest, it was probably the name, that drew me in.

I heard both good and bad about it, so though I would throw my opinion into the mix.

Fine Line... Review - L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Perfect Slim!

One of the things, I always struggle the most with, within make up application, is liquid liner.

So I am always on the look out for a "easy to apply" liquid liner.

But of course, I also want it to be long lasting!

Pink n' Pretty...Review and swatches - L'Oreal Paris Color Infaillible in Forever Pink.

If you follow my blog, you will probably know, that I wasn't to crazy about the Color Infaillible in Hourglass Beige.

Even though I didn't got along with that one to well, I still decided recently to get another colour - It just looked so pretty.

And I'm happy I did.

Smoke those lashes... Review - Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara!

Some time ago this mascara was all the rave for a while

Even though I haven't heard to much about it for while, I decided to try it out, when I found on sale in a set with a make up remover.

I have now had the opportunity to try it out, and here are my thoughts.

Terracotta Sunset.... An eye look!

For autumn I loved the reds on the eyes (I still do by the way).

For this spring I'm ready to wear the orange shades.

It all started with a matte nude orange, I got at Inglot - If I should give it a name, I would call it Terracotta!

I really wanted to do a look with this shadow as the inspiration, so I gathered up my other orange toned shadows and ended up with this.

And yes, I'm wearing a kid bandaid on my neck, it's a long story:-)
