Revlon Colourstay Gel Eyeliner.

As i mentioned in my last post, i won a little Revlon twitter competition which was a lovely little treat. I really do enjoy Revlon products they tend to be pretty good quality and not too expensive! I received this eyeliner at the perfect time to be honest, my beloved MAC one has started to dry out a little (i have had it a while) so i was really looking forward to testing this out and so far, so good..

I love the little packaging of this, it's similar to a few other high-street gel eyeliners out there. It's really little so easy to carry out and about and although i don't love this brush it's really handy. Can't complain really :)

As you can see, the eyeliner is pretty pigmented in one stroke (no need for going over and over). The pigmentation does get a little weaker at the end of the line but thats just due to there not being much left on the brush. Like i just mentioned, i'm not a huge fan of the brush (but it is better than taking another brush out with you), i personally find an angled brush like the one's from H&M and Muji to work much better at packing the liner on.

It is very easy to create a smooth, opaqaue line with this eyeliner. It lasts all day long as long as you don't watch The Vow and cry like a baby. So, it's pretty impressive and much cheaper than high-end versions. Theres nothing really negative to say. 

You can buy it from Tesco here for £7.99 whereas from Superdrug it costs £8.99. But nevertheless, it's definitely a good, staple part of my makeup collection and i will definitely be purchasing this over the MAC one when i ever run out.. 

Have you tried this gel eyeliner? Whats your favourite gel eyeliner? 

Add a pop of colour: Bright eyeliner!

Hello! Making different coloured eyeliner (particularly purple) is something i've loved doing for years. It's so nice to do something a little different with your makeup every once in a while and if you're a little scared of colour this is a great way of adding a pop of colour without feeling like a clown. 

You can use any colour you like really but i obviously suggest choosing one that will suit your skin/eye colour - maybe bright yellow isn't the best choice for a daytime look! You can go for blue, bronze, green, purple - entirely up to you, whatever you have.

All you need: Pigment or eyeshadow of choice, MAC Fix+ or Illamasqua Sealing Gel and an eyeliner brush! 

(I'm using a pigment and MAC Fix+)

First put a bit of your fix+ or sealant onto a flat clean surface and put some of your pigment next to it. If your using an eyeshadow either put some fallout on the surface or just use it in the pan!

Then simply dip your brush into the fix+ and mix it in with a little bit of the pigment. Make a little paste on your palette - don't make it too watery! And make sure the brush is coated!
(If you're using an eyeshadow in the pan just dip your brush in the fix+ and then put some eyeshadow on the brush as usual)

Then an you usually would, draw on your eyeliner. Start at the inner tear duct, as close to the lash line as you can, then draw straight along the lash line until you reach the end of your eyelid. Then simply join where the line has ended to the lower lashline for a little wing. 

And there you have it! Colourful eyeliner that adds a pop of colour to your look without being too in your face. Such a subtle but fun way to add colour :) 

What do you think? Are you going to try it out? Do you already do it?
