Perfect Pout






From top to bottom: Honey, Demure and Elusive.



The original Kissable formula in 'Honey'
The matte Colourburst in 'Elusive Insatiable'

The Lacquer effect Colourburst in 'Demure'






Ahhh Revlon, my trusty lipstick provider! Revlon never lets me down, apart from that one time. And yet again they have pulled the cat out of the bag to provide us with yet another beauty, the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balms, re-vamped, to bring us matte and lacquer finishes newly named the Revlon Colourburst Lacquer and Matte Balms.

All the shades look b-e-a-utiful, but the ones that just seemed to jump out at me were the shades Demure Réservée, number 105 and Elusive Insatiable, number 205. The first is part of the lacquer finishes, but I have to say that it really doesn't come off that in your face, it has a gorgeous shimmer to it that's subtle but noticeable. The colour is an absolutely gorgeous nude pink that will flatter most skin tones. Another thing that caught my attention, although quite trivial, was the packaging. Encased in a shiny tube that catches your eye, and looks pretty, it's quite darn hard to just walk by these....
As for the Matte finish, it's pretty much the same deal, a rose pink smooth matte, that although isn't as prettily packaged, still steps up to the mark with it's colour.

Onto the important part! How do they wear/feel? The durability of them isn't the best, not bad, but not good, they'll last you until you eat or drink a coffee/tea, but they definitely need re-applying. And as for how they feel -pretty nice! Smooth, soft and certainly not uncomfortable; although I have to say the Matte and Original formulas come off a lot smoother than the Lacquer effect, but it redeems itself with the fact that there's certainly no worry of having that horrible drying effect that makes our lips look like a desert savannah!

Another brilliant formula from Revlon, they just never let a girl down...

M.A.C Prep+Prime

   

                                              
    
                                                   


Goodbye dark circles!



I think I may finally have found a strong contender to take on the seriously tough battle that is my under-eye dark circles! I had tried a lot of different concealers- from liquid to cream, and whilst some were good, really good (Bobbi Brown- thank you!), none of them completely banish those pain's-in-the-bum! And it's no wonder because they really can be stubborn! Having eyed up the Mac Prep+Prime Highlighter for a bit - mainly in Pixiwoo's videos- I caved in and let the M.A.C lady persuade me into buying the shade 'light boost', which although quite light, cancels out the darkness nicely, whilst still matching my olive skin tone!

And it really works, like really well. I could tell the difference almost straight away after putting this on, my dark circles were almost completely gone, and my face looked more refreshed. It's super easy to use and it blends into the skin really nicely! Jot it onto the under eye in cross shape, as well as the bridge of your nose, tops of the cheekbones, forehead and chin, and viola! A nice highlighted, fresh face!

Make up staple? I think so.




I am riding the train to I-just-slept-for-ten-hours-ville, and it's awesome

Eye Spy....



The Beautiful Alexa Chung's eye's, who has teamed up with Eyeko for her own 'Eye do' range.







I really don't know how I get roped into these purchases but it's definitely never my fault.

The other day I was just contently browsing the internet, as you do, when I stumbled across a video in which someone was talking about a brand called Eyeko, the name definitely rung a bell, so I decided to pop on over and see what it was all about! When I arrived however, I was straight away confronted with a little message of joy, that informed me I could get a free Black Magic Mascara if I signed up- I of course did this.

I spotted the 'mini's' (hell yeah) and chose to buy the Skinny Mini Liquid Liner which is a very reasonable £9! And so along with my free mascara (also a mini) it meant that my whole purchase actually only cost me £9! Because THE P&P IS FREE(!!!!!) 





So, with that good start, how are the actual products?

Well, AMAZING.

The Black Magic mascara is the best product by far, my lashes look so much more longer, and a lot more voluminous, I always swore by the Benefit They're Real Mascara, but dare I say it- I think it's got a competitor! I even got a complement on the length of my lashes the other day- something that's never happened before! The packaging of this mascara is also really interesting and actually really cool, instead of your standard hard plastic shell, this mascara is packaged in a squeezy tube type way- and it's really awesome.




As for the eyeliner, I rate it just as highly! It glides on really nicely, and the pigment is super great! I really recommend this for someone who struggles with eyeliner because it's just so easy to apply! And the great thing about both of these products is that even though they're minis, they're lasting really well! This seems like such a great a great brand, and with high ratings from the likes of Lisa Eldridge and Vogue- who's surprised?

The prices of these products are definitely reasonable when compared with the quality! The mascara's range from £15-£20, and the eyeliners from £12-£21- some really good numbers when you take into account how long lasting they are!




Overall I am so glad that I purchased these products, and I am definitely going to purchase the full size when my beloved minis run out! - I also have my eye on their Liquid Metal Eyeliner in Rose Gold.... get it? ....


Have you tried any products from Eyeko? What did you think?
