Maybelline Long Lasting Gel Liner




Finally I have found the right eye-liner for me. For a while now I’ve been using eye-liner on and off and have never really thought of using a gel eye-liner as I preferred just using a liquid pen liner. I had thought about buying a gel eye-liner from M.A.C but as I’d never tried one before I didn’t want to be spending so much money on something I might not like.

When I was on a night out I had used a cheap pen liner and after being squirted in the eye with perfume from my friend my eye-liner rubbed off really bad which made me realise I really did need a waterproof or longer lasting liner. I was actually recommended this eye-liner from a friend as one night out it managed to stay on all throughout the night right till the morning and lasted the perfume incident. This eye-liner can be found in drug stores at a reasonable price of £7.99 and it comes in small glass jar and a professional brush which turns out a lot cheaper than if you were to just buy a M.A.C pot. The eye-liner isn't heavy on your eyes it feels lightweight and is hard to smudge, it is also a thick consistency in the jar but isn't too thick when applying which helps. A little goes a long way with this eye-liner as I have been using this for a number of weeks now and I have only used a small amount of the pot so it is well worth the money.  After finding this eye-liner I have now re kindled my love for using eye-liner.

MAC Prep and Prime Eye Base



*excuse how I took pictures after using it*






*Prep & Prime Base £12.50*

When I went to New York I had a list of things I wanted to buy when I was in the M.A.C store 
when I was over there and this was one of them. I wasn't too sure whether to buy this or not as I wasn't too sure whether it would be a waste of money or not but after speaking to the girl who served me I was persuaded to buy it. 

I have this in the shade 1.0 which is the lightest shade as I have fairly pale skin and unlike other primers I have seen this primer is coloured and allows you to neutralise the lid colour before applying the eye shadow. The Prep and Prime eye base is easy to apply on the lids and does make eye shadow longer lasting which saves me the hastle of having to take even more make up out with me. I have also found that this pro longs the eye shadow sinking into creases making my makeup look oily only a while after applying.
