Top 5 Favourite Eye Liners

Today's post is all about my top 5 favourite eye liners. They're all drugstore so are affordable if you're on a budget like myself! 

Left to right: B. Smokey 122 Chocolate, Rimmel Scandal Eyes 005 Nude, Rimmel Soft Kohl 071 Pure White, Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner 001 Black, Soap and Glory Liquid Black Eyeliner Pen

B. Smokey 122 Chocolate Kohl Eyeliner

I absolutely love this eye liner! It has a sponge on the other end so is perfect for creating a smoky eye look and is very blendable. It's a chocolate brown colour so creates a softer and more natural look compared to a black eye liner. 

Rimmel Scandal Eyes 005 Nude Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner

I personally don't think that this eye liner is waterproof but it is long wearing. I put this along my lower waterline to make my eyes look more awake and brighter. It creates a natural and subtle look, and has a very creamy texture. 

Rimmel Soft Kohl 071 Pure White Eye Liner Pencil

Again I use this eye liner on my lower waterline to make my eyes look brighter and wider. This gives a more vibrant and noticeable look compared to using a nude. The lasting power isn't that great but for the price it's a good product. 

Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner 001 Black

At first I struggled to get the hang of doing my eye liner with this product. However I now use this everyday when I want a bolder eye look. It's easy to apply and the colour doesn't fade or flake off through out the day. I would definitely recommend this! 

Soap and Glory Liquid Black Eyeliner Pen

Soap and Glory's Supercat Liquid Black Eyeliner is my current favorite liquid eyeliner pen. I always struggle to draw my eyeliner on evenly and this product makes it so much easier to get a smooth line. It also doesn't smudge or fade through out the day. The thin pen style means I can create anything from a natural eye look with a thin line or a dramatic winged eyeliner look. The packaging design is simple and pretty. It's also thin and small meaning it takes up very little space, unlike some other eyeliners with unnecessary bulky packaging. It's definitely worth the money!

Favourite Eye Shadow Palettes

I don't own many eye shadow palettes but I thought I'd share my two favourite ones that I do own! These are my go-to palettes that I use most days and would recommend them to anyone. I'd love to try some more palettes so let me know your favourites :) 

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

I love this palette so much, it has to be one of the prettiest palettes out there. I have blue eyes and love wearing different shades of pinks and copper colours to make my eyes really pop. If used with an eye shadow primer, these shadows last all day and are pigmented. There can be some fall out when using the darker colours but apart from that this palette is brilliant! 

Urban Decay Naked Palette

I think pretty much everyone owns and loves this palette. It has the perfect range of colours and can create anything from a natural eye look to a smoky eye look. Again I would definitely recommend this if you haven't already go it!

Trying Different Dry Shampoos - Review

I always like testing out new dry shampoos, especially when they're on special offer! I tend to only wash my hair a couple of times a week so a decent dry shampoo is essential for me. I have four different products to review, which are all available at either Tesco or Superdrug.

Batiste Dry Shampoo - Blush

I personally love Batiste, especially when it's half price (yay for being a poor student). I got this product in blush purely because the packaging is super pretty. I really like the smell as well, it's not too over powering or in your face. The product itself is brilliant, it doesn't leave a layer of white in your hair like some products do and it makes my hair feel fresh and clean. I feel you can't go wrong with Batiste and it's definitely my favourite dry shampoo that I've tried. 

Herbal Essences Dry Shampoo - Ignite My Colour 

I've never tried Herbal Essences before and I thought I'd try this because it was also on special offer. Unfortunately I didn't like it as much as the Batiste one. It didn't leave any white in my hair and my hair did look and feel clean. However it left my hair feeling quite dry and matted, which wasn't ideal. The smell is okay although it's quite over powering; sometimes less is more! I probably wouldn't purchase this at full price. 

Girlz Only Dry Shampoo 

I love this product! For £1.50 it's brilliant, so if you're on a budget I would definitely recommend it. It doesn't leave a layer of white in your hair and it simply does the job it's supposed to do. It leaves my hair feeling clean and vibrant! 

Superdrug Sinful Moments Dry Shampoo

This is a similar price to the Girlz Only Dry Shampoo and is the same size. I do like this product and I'll be taking it on holiday with me. However I feel it takes quite a lot of product to get the desired result. I have to spray more than the other products so it does get used up quicker. Apart from that, the smell's okay and it does leave your hair feeling and looking clean. Out of all the dry shampoos I've reviewed I would say that this is my least favourite product.

Top 5 Favourite Lipsticks

In all honestly I'm not a big lipstick wearer, I like to collect lipsticks but I don't wear them that often. However when I do, the following lipsticks are my favourites and go-to products. They're a mixture of high end and drugstore, and vary from a classic nude to a deep red. 

Left to right - MAC Mehr, Clinique Red-Y To Wear, Collection 01 Prohibition, Rimmel Kate Moss 03 and The Body Shop 200 Colour Crush

MAC Mehr - Matte

This is probably my favourite lipstick that I own, I love the matte finish on this and the colour is very wearable during the day. The lasting power is great and I would definitely recommend this MAC lipstick. 

Clinique High Impact 12 Red-Y To Wear

I used to wear this colour a lot on nights out and the staying power is brilliant; I never used to have to touch up. I personally think this is a classic red and if I ever adventure out at night again this would definitely be my go-to colour!

Collection Deluxe 01 Prohibition 

This red is a slightly deeper and pinker red compared to the one above. This is my favourite lipstick to wear in autumn and winter, and is actually quite wearable in the day time. 

Rimmel Kate Moss 03

This is quite simply a classic nude that everyone needs in their make up collection! I feel it would suit most skin tones and is similar to what Kylie Jenner wears. A must have!

The Body Shop Colour Crush 200 XL101CD?! (the name isn't clear!)

I love the colour of this lipstick. It's a beautiful pinky nude that looks lovely and is perfect for summer!
