P.S Love felt tip eyeliner

Hi Beauts.

Two of my Holy Grail products have to be both the MUA extreme felt liner and e.l.f's waterproof liquid liner pen. They're both easy to use, extremely opaque and budge proof. And unfortunately both just happened to run out around the same time. 
I had intended to repurchase the MUA pen as it was easier to get hold of than the elf one, but I spotted Primark's very own version - P.S LOVE - and for £1.50, I thought it was worth a go. 



I can usually tell straight away whether or not I'll like a product, and after using this the first time I loved it. This has to be the easiest to use from the 3 I've tried (MUA, elf and this one)
 When I swatched it on the back of my hand I noticed that the tip wasn't flexible, which is what I usually look for as I find them easier to use. 



However, my opinion soon changed when I applied a thin line and flick to my eye. It took one quick swipe of the pen to get an opaque, straight and perfect line! I normally draw the flick then create a line along my lashes and join the two, but with this liner I was able to start from my inner corner and apply the whole thing in one go. 
As with the other two liners, this is super opaque and doesn't budge at all. I applied a swatch to the back of my hand and barely gave it time to dry before I tried rubbing it away. It dried pretty much instantly and didn't smudge at all.

I never really thought about trying out Primark's make up in the past, but if this eyeliner is anything to go by I can't wait to try out more!

Have you bought anything from the P.S Love range?

E.l.f waterproof eyeliner

Hi Beauts.

One shop I was mega excited about discovering in NYC (or rather my cousin spotted it) qas the e.l.f studio - I didn't know such a thing existed! There was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to take a peek inside and buy a few goodies. The store itself was all white and had all of the products around the sides, definitely looked fresh and sophisticated! 

Can we have an elf studio in Newcastle pretty please?

 I did buy a few things and one product that I've used every day since I bought it is the waterproof eyeliner. 





I'm a huge fan of MUA extreme felt liner so wasn't sure if I'd like this one or not, I don't like change sometimes.  This time however I welcome it with open arms. Felt tip eyeliner pens have fast become my favourite type of liquid liner to use, I find them so much easier to control than gel or regular liquid liner. And this bad boy hasn't let me down. I will admit, when I first used it I wasn't so sure that I'd like it as the tip is solid where as the MUA one is a little flexible.  However I persevered and found that because it wasn't at all flexible, I could create a straighter, neater and thinner line.




 The product itself is extremely opaque, and isn't too wet like some other liquid liners that I've tried. As far as it being waterproof, I completely agree. Once applies this ain't budging until you use soap and water. I think I may have found my new fave liner :) Thanks elf!!



What's your favourite liquid liner?

(there seems to be a phantom picture kicking about on this page for some odd reason, don't worry it's not supposed to be there :p)
