Have you discovered? - Eyeliner

Hello lovelies, today I have for you a gel eyeliner, I haven't seen this floating around the blogoshpere yet so here is my 'have you discovered' product.

Maybelline Lasting Drama Black shock gel eyeliner £8.99

This product is now a staple in my make up bag! It is the most easiest and quickest eyeliner to apply and it doesn't budge for no one, it takes a good rub with the cleansers/micellar waters to get this bad boy off, so its perfect for you party animals or business busy people out all day in no time for touch ups. It comes in a twisty lid, then once the lid is removed is had a twisty bottom that gets the product out of this silicone sort of rubber applicator on the end with a slit, after looking at the new benefit eyeliner this looks so similar! For first time users you need to twist the bottom as it clicks about ten times until the product comes out then after that just once as it comes out quite quickly, it is very soft and I can apply this with just one hand quickly over my lids, perfect for YouTubers aha. It is quite an intense black as it says on the packaging 'black shock' but if you apply it as gently as you can you can get away with wearing it the day time if your not as daring with eyeliner, also if your a beginner as liquid eyeliner a good tip is to do dot to dot on the top of your eyelid then join them all up to form a straight line. I couldn't recommend this product enough to you all and its 3 for 2 on at boots so go grab one quick, also a lot cheaper than the benefit version. 

Have you discovered? - Eye Shadow/Palette.

Hello lovelies, I missed last Sunday's but I'm back today showing you my eye shadow little duo's I have never seen mentioned in the blogosphere before. 

Ted Baker Beauty Eye Shadow Compact

I got these a while back of my mum as a Christmas present, usually when I get make-up sets for Christmas there never normally that good but these are gorgeous and very pigmented on the lids. I adore the packaging I just think there beautiful, my most used is the pinky shades, they don't have shade names sadly but you can see ones a greeny palette, one pink and another a deep purple and gunmetal grey perfect for a dark smokey eye. The olive green shade reminds me a lot of my Mac shadow in 'sumptuous olive', they are all lovely shades and perfect for slipping in your make-up bag, also both the shades in each palette are great for there own smokey eye look without using additional shades. Have you ever been surprised with a make-up gift set?

Have you discovered? - Highlighter.

Hello lovelies, it's Sunday which means another have you discovered post I have mentioned this brand on my posts before but I never hear about this brand enough so I am sharing this again.

Royal Effem - Beautiful Highlighter in Arcobaleno 001 £21.60*

This highlighter has been mentioned in THIS post, but this highlighter is just absolutely stunning, you can use it as a highlighter, blush and bronzer all in one with just one swipe of your brush. starting from the bottom of my swatch as the highlighter it goes to blush then bronze, so gorgeous on your face. I love this, it is so soft and very pigmented and even better is it lasts all day pretty much. I don't hear Royal Effem get mentioned enough but I would definitely check the brand out as they do some stunning products this and their foundation are my favorites. 

Have you ever tried Royal Effem?

Have you discovered? - Blush

Hello lovelies, I haven't done this series for a couple of weeks and completely forgot about last weeks as I have been loving a Bare Minerals bronzer but it is exactly the same as Rebecca's. I am excited to show you about this blusher as I don't hear the brand So Susan around a lot at all. 

So Susan - 8 Hour cheek stain 

The only annoying thing about this product is it hasn't got a shade name, it is the only one they do also. It is such a beautiful blusher though, a gel like form in a retractable stick that gives you moisture as well as a healthy glow. It is a pinky red and just gives your cheeks that lovely flush of colour it needs. I like to used my Real Techniques buffing brush to dab onto my cheeks and blend it out, but if you're out on the go this is perfect as you can just dab it on with the stick and blend in with your fingers, absolutely perfect if your on the go. It has got quite a big price tag at £25.00 but it will last you ages and it lasts 8 hours on your cheeks before fading. I was luckily enough to pick this up pretty much for free at the Clothes Show Live as I picked up a So Susan goody bag for just £5! Unbelievable bargain and I am so in love with this, I wear this pretty much every day at the moment. It is super sleek and will fit into your make up bag easy, So Susan also do truly gorgeous outer packaging with florals and I like there packaging on the products also, have you ever tried So Susan?

Looking forward to reading everyone else's blusher posts you can't beat a bit of blusher.

The concealer I have chosen for today's post is the MAC - Studio Finish Concealer in NW15, this concealer has a SPF of 35 which is great from protecting your under eyes in the sun. This is my new favorite concealer, it is just amazing! I love everyone's favorite collection one also but this just tops it a little more, when you have those really bad blemish days I pop this underneath foundation and again on top and it just disappears. I adore this for under my eyes and it doesn't crease, which is why I love it more I have searched high and low for a drugstore concealer that doesn't crease under my eye so I thought I have to buy a high end one and I'm so glad I did plus it will last me ages. For using concealer under the eyes I like to prep my skin all over with a moisturiser before foundation then under my eyes I apply an eye cream, I let that sink in for a few minutes then I get a primer to keep it into place then lastly apply the concealer whilst dusting after with a little bit of powder and it lasts all day with no creasing at all. It is super creamy and I like to go for a shade lighter in concealer as I think it makes my under eyes illuminate and look awake it is very Kim Kardashian after contouring. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a full coverage concealer that will not crease under the eye well it doesn't on me and will last you all day. 

Have you tried this concealer before? I'd love to know your thoughts or your favorite concealers in the comments below.
