Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

This is possibly the most hyped high street product of the past year so when I bought this i was expecting great things! *here*

I have a real love hate relationship with this product. Althought saying that, you can see how much I've used, I use it about half the time and I love having a lined eye as I think it looks super pretty. 

So why do I have such an odd relationship with this?

I feel like this product can't make up it's mind on whether to be good or not. Some days it will slip right of, be smudgy and I will be really annoyed. Whereas other days it stays on completely perfectly and looks amazing! I feel like whenever I tell someone it's great, it starts being bad, and whenever I tell someone it's bad it starts being great!

I've figured out where I've been going wrong though, basically applying this to naked eyelids is a bad idea! It just slips off. I don't wear eyeshadow everyday, so when I wear this I first set the eyelid with a translucent powder. 

I've got applying this down to a fine art, I find it so easy to do now and I was a train wreck when I first started! I've used endless amounts of brushes to apply this and the one I use depends purely on what's close and what mood I'm in. I don't have the brush that comes with it as they had all been nicked out the packet! So I managed to get a discount and got 10% off so it was £5.40. Oh, whilst I remember I'd recomend buying this from Asda instead of boots as it's on £6!

Is this a good eyeliner? When applied properly there's no doubt that it is a good eyeliner, it can last all day and is pretty dark too.

Is it worth the hype? In my opinion that's a no. I'm constructing a birthday list at the moment and I'm thinking of investing in a Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner!

Okay, so I have no idea why as I'm almost certian this isn't disconinued but I can't find a link online to this, sorry guys!

Would anyone like a tutorial on how I apply this? Had anybody tried a Bobbi Brown eyeliner? Let me know!

Collection 2000 Glam Crystals Eyeliner

Well hello there, so I was in Asda the other week and this Eye Liner had been reduced to about £1.50, so seen as I'd seen it recommended in a video I figured it would be foolish of me not to give it a go. They're only £2.99 from boots anyway though, so it's not a monumental loss should it not be to your liking if you paid full price.

Okay, so I will stop babbling and review this product. The lasting power is definitely good, but saying that I don't have a lot of experience with glitter eye liner so I can't really compare this to anything else.

I have to apologise for the shadow on this picture, I've not quite mastered the whole picture talking thing yet. Anyway, as you can see in the swatch above the glitter is really pretty, lots of different colours of flecks that gel really well together when applied and just look really beautiful. It's super easy to apply as well, I'm quite good with gel liner but I've never been good at getting the right control with a liquid liner. ( I am getting slowly but surely better though )

I love this product and would definitely recommend anyone to buy it. The only problem is that it's so hard to find an occasion when glitter eye liner is appropriate, so it's just sitting sadly in my make up drawer feeling forgotten about. Poor eye liner :(

Please do let me know if there are any products you'd like me to review,

This is all,
