Eyeliners...

As a student and a mum of three I don't have loads of cash to spend on my make-up. That doesn't mean that I don't want my make-up to be good... Yesterday I tried to compare three of the liners I've got: LiquidLiner from L'oreal, EyelinerPen from Maybelline and WaterproofEyelinerPen from e.l.f.

Here's how they look when applied. As the first picture you see l'Oreal at the bottom, then Maybelline and e.l.f. on top.

The l'Oreal-one is the fullest and blackest, almost like wallpaint. This liner has a very soft felt tip you dip in the liquid-liner. I think it's a bit difficult to get it right without practice, but easier than the thin brushes you get with most liquid-liners.

The pen from Maybelline is like a pen with a rather hard felttip. It's easy for beginners because the hard tip is so presice. But I think it also can feel too hard on the sensitive skin on your lid?! It has a good colour, and you get a really thin line.

The e.l.f.-one is the one that gives you the softest(maybe a bit too soft?!) and most natural line. Some like it, and some don't. Think this is a good pen if your new to lining your eyes. It's presice, but not as much as the Mabelline one. The line also gets a bit thikker.

This is how they all look after being on my arm the whole day. I think the two on top (still Maybelline in the middle and e.l.f. on top) holds the colour best. The two lines looks the same as right after they were applied, maybe a bit softerlooking?! The l'Oreal-liner begins to crack after five or six days. I don't think that's a good enough...

When it comes to wich one I like the most... It depends. LOL. I think that I might have to say the Maybelline-one comes on first place between these three, but e.l.f. is just on the heels of this. And for my future eyeliner-shopping I have to say I'd buy the e.l.f.-one. This is because, even though it's just nr two in use, it's eight times cheaper than the two others. -And that's a bargain!

But I'm looking foreward to e.l.f. new cream-liner coming to the online-shop soon...

Review on e.l.f. EyebrowKit...

This is me. My everyday makeup with 'only' my mineral concealer, foundation, my black eyeliner pen and lip balm... Today I've tried the e.l.f. EyebrowKit in the shade Medium. When I got it I was afraid it was too light, but as you will see, I'm glad I chose medium.

This is how it looks from the outside. A delicat matt black box. Don't you want it?!?

Inside you can see the whole lid is covered with a mirror. Very nice to have if your on the run... You can also see the dark brown gel, and the light brown powder. There's also a little two-sided brush.

Neighter the gel or the powder has any smell, something I like. There's too much make-up that smells like a candy-shop, but this one's good. The gel seems nice and not sticky in any way, but the powder is to loose for my taste. I wished it would be more pressed. When it comes to the two-sided brush... I think the angeled flat brush is good, but for everyday use the handle is too short. But again a good brush if your on the run. The other side of the brush, I didn't like. Think it's to big even for my brows.

From the left side you can here see the brown gel alone, then the powder alone, and to the right the gel and the powder together.

This was thefirst brow I tried on the powder. And here you can see why I thought it was too loose powder. It was a bit difficult to get the right amout from the powder. The brow got to dark and dramatic for my taste...

Now to eyebrow number two, -and I like... Just the right amount to fill out the brow in a soft natural way...

This is how I looked when I was ready to go out for a couples of coffees with two other mums and their kids... Perfect make-up for a mid-day coffee'date', and now at the end of the day I still feel like the brows are natural, but with a nice colourfilling.

Tryin' out my Wearable Greens-trio...

This is my everyday mak-up-kit. Foundation from i.d. in the medium shade, concealer in summer bisqe, and bare radiance as a glowin' touch on my cheaks. But today I wanted to try out my WearableGreens-set...

Here are the three colours of green. -Light, medium and dark.

I've used the light green on the outer side of the lid, the medium on the inner side of the lid and under the eye. The dark one I used on the outer side along the globe-line.

I finished up with a thin line with my e.l.f. waterproof eyeliner along the lashes over and under the eye, and a small amount of black mascara.

When I see the picture of the eye alone it seems quite natural, but it was strange looking in the mirror and see 'all that' make up on a normal day... LOL

LOL It's a big difference on the eye with daylight, and the eye without...

Review on e.l.f. PlumpingLipGlaze

e.l.f. PlumpingLipGlaze is one of the products I use several times a week. This one is in the colour MochaIce...

I think the it's quite easy to se the colour through the plastic, but I've put i on my hand to se the colour better anyway...

Unfortunatly this pic is without the daylight so the colour isn't quite right, but I thought it wasn't that important since this just is how to show you my lips without plumping...

Here you can see the plumper on my lips, and this one was taken in good daylight around noon. I told someone earlier today that I didn't see much plumpingeffect on my lips, but when I see these pics together I think it's quite a difference...

Anyway... Even if I don't think it has too much of a plumpin' effect I really love this as a lip-gloss and I'll probably continue using it each other day or so... And just so it's said. It has a lovely minty smell... A lipgloss and breathfreshener all in one... LOL.

If you want to try it yourselves, you'll find it at www.eyeslipsface.co.uk for £1,50
