MAC: Superslick Liquid Eye Liner/ Estee Lauder Sumptuous Waterproof Mascara

Superslick Liquid Eye Liner- M.A.C's slickest liner! This Water based, Water resistant, Liquid liner sweeps on in an easy, precise application- its hard to go wrong really! 

The formula is very watery (due to it being water based I guess!) ,so be careful not to tip the tube like I did..cue black liquid liner everywhere, and the applicator is a long spongey tip which is really helpful for creating that sweeping eyeliner look. 

'Superslick Liquid Eye Liner'


 Available in 9 colours, this liner is perfect all year round because if your splashing in the pool in the summer or stuck out in the rain in winter...IT WONT BUDGE!!
I tested it's power yesterday on a trip to my local pool and after being splashed a few times by fellow lane swimmers the liner was still as perfect as when I had applied it.

'Here's the proof!'


So theres the proof- at last, I have discovered a totally budge proof LIQUID eye liner!

Now, you cant wear liner without dressing your lashes can you? 

I'd like to introduce you to...Estee Lauder's Sumptuous Waterproof Mascara.
A bold volume mascara that lifts, lengthens and has lash plumping fibres to thicken the lashes. Unlike other waterproof mascaras that tend to be quite dry and limp, this gives you fluttering lashes without the smudging, flaking and smearing.

I've been using this mascara for swimming, holidays and snowboarding ever since my favorite Estee Lauder consultant, Leanne, reccommended it. It's never let me down and does well in humid conditions too- it doesn't melt or go clumpy like previous mascaras I've tried and because it's fragrance free and ophthalmologist tested, It doesn't irritate my eyes when they are feeling sensitive.


All i have left to say is.. BRING IT ON!!!

Boi-ing! Concealer from Benefit Cosmetics

 Boi-ing! The industrial strength concealer is now available in five shades so now we can all cover our dark shadows and imperfections!

'Boi-ing! Concealer'

I find this concealer goes a very long way so at £16.50 it’s a bargain. As it’s quite thick I’d recommend using an eye cream before applying around your eyes so it doesnt sit in any lines or go cakey in dry areas. Its also best to use your fingers to apply this creamy concealer as the warmth of your fingers will help to blend the product in.

 
 'Five shades of Boi-ing!'

Boi-ing is perfect for a quick, effective cover up but its also really good as a lip liner… use a small amount smeared over your lips to hold your lipstick and use a small brush to define around your lips,particularly if you are wearing a dark lipstick, it will tidy up your pout! Its good for quick touch ups and on nights out, just dont over do it or you'll end up looking like a china doll- its that powerful!!

Visit your local Benefit counter and get a Benebabe to match you up to the right colour or you can order yours at  www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk.

 Boots own brand-  'Botanicals' cleansing facial wipes. THEY ARE AMAZING.

They can remove anything! From dirt to facepaints to waterproof makeup and leave you feeling sparkling fresh and clean. They containing brightening Hibiscus which is a great antioxidant and a natural emollient so it really helps to soften and brighten the skin- I've seen a big improvement after cleansing since I've switched to these magic wipes!

They feel refreshing on the skin when your cleansing, they aren't too dry,  they dont drag on the skin like some  cleansing wipes do and, even better, they dont cost a fortune either!
