COLLECTION 2000 WATERPROOF LIQUID EYELINER | REVIEW

I bought this eyeliner because it had a rock hard brush and I usually find this easier to use. But it is actually quite hard to apply the eyeliner and hardly any of the liquid goes onto the brush which is irritating.

I couldnt quite grasp doing the flicks with this eyeliner as it kept blogding all over so I turned to my trustworthy Natural Collection liquid liner. The line also came out quite grey (as you may be able to see in the photo) and I really want it jet black.

It was £2.99 which is amazing for a Waterproof liquid eyeliner with a stiff brush! Well... actually it isn't particulary waterproof. I literally licked my finger and rubbed the eyeliner off within a couple strokes. (After it had dryed properly). It set quite hard on my eyelid and sort of crumbles off which was kind of yukky.

Overall - 3/5 (A gave it an extra mark because it has a hard brush)

BOBBI BROWN RED LIPSTICK | REVIEW

I recently bought a Bobbi Brown Lipstick and I thought I would do a short review for you:

The Basics: I purchased this in the House Of Fraser, Bristol Cabot Circus shop. The price was £18, but there was a 10% discount that day which was brilliant! The colour has such a simple name: Red. The number is 10. Bobbi Brown class this as 'A Fire Engine Red', but I would have to disagree and say it was a little bit darker. The picture below does not really do justice on how beautiful the colour is, so I apoligise for the picture quality. 

What Bobbi Brown claims: This creamy, semi-matte lipstick gives lips instant polish with rich, full coverage. 
 
Suprisingly I would have to agree with this statement.
It gives a thick coverage which covers every last space of lips, even the inside of your mouth (I always find this a huge problem as I can be wearing a bright colour which looks perfect, but when I speak the inside looks bare and stupid!)
It lasts for a few hours, although eating and drinking usually rubs it off.
This is quite a strange positive but it is a fairly strong lipstick (Meaning it will not snap easily). I have had a lot of lippys in the past break and it is very irritating as it ruins them. The stick is also very long which means it will last a long time. The price is expensive so at least you won't have to keep buying them frequently.

However I do have a few disagreements and negatives to share. I would have say that the semi- matte part is untrue as I class this as shiny and wet looking (That is not negative comment).
There is nothing I hate more than to have a lipstick which drys your lips. If this happens then I have to put lipgloss on top which completely ruins the whole matte lipstick idea. With this lipstick, I found it is fairly drying at the start but when you lick your lips and rub them together a few times, it becomes more suculent and juicy. Another huge problem for me is the smell of the lippy. It is very over powering and has a fousty odor to it: I really do hate it! Most of the Bobbi Brown lipsticks smell like this which is a downfall, and even the taste is nasty too. If you have Bobbi Brown lipsticks then do you agree or is it just me?

For me, this vibrant lipstick is by far the best RED lipstick I have tried as not only is the thick, creamy coverage excellent, the fact it is longlasting is brilliant too. Although the price is expensive I would say it is worth it for the high quality. It may not be for everyone, but I really do like it. However, next time I will probably stick to my cheap Rimmel London or Natural Collection lipsticks as they are still pretty good quality.

Coverage: 4/5

Price: 2.5/5

Quality: 4/5

Texture: 3.5/5

Smell: 1/5

Longvity: 4/5

Application: 5/5

17 HIDE AWAY CONCEALER STICK | REVIEW

I have quite baddish spots on my forehead at the moment, I dont know why? I needed a good concealer, and considering the mascara was 17 was good, I thought I would give their concealer ago. Well it turned out that it is very good I think! These are my worst spots, and for a cheap concealer from a boots own brand, it covered them up quite well. Obviously the flash always makes things look miles worse (well my camera does!) so it doesnt look that good above, but it seriously is great. (Oh and the shine on my head is not oil or whatever, its the shine from my camera).

17 Hide Away Concealer Stick is £3.99 which can be bought from most Boots store that sell makeup. It is in a plastic wrapper and comes in about three skin shades. I have medium and it matches my skin perfectly. I prefer sticks as they are easily applyable and it doesnt involve using fingers (which could have a lot of bacteria and stuff on and could cause spots).

I would give this concealer a 7/10 because I really like it, and will be purchasing again when its run out! Would definitely recommend it.
