e.l.f Studio Cream Eyeliners

A while back I decided I wanted to try a different type of eyeliner because liquid wasn’t working so well for me, so I decided to look into cream/gel eyeliners. I had heard about the e.l.f one before and decided I would give it ago, plus I was already into e.l.f products and I had never experienced anything negative from the brand.
I’ve tried four shades and they are Black, which is a dark charcoal black, Coffee, which is a matte medium toned coffee brown and Punk Purple, which is a metallic deep royal. I had to throw all three away for reasons I will explain.
The packaging is a cube shaped clear plastic container with a black plastic lid. You have to twist the lid to get it off and it is mean’t to be air tight. You also get a free small angled eyeliner brush with each shade. The formula is dryer than gel eyeliners because it is cream based and the formula is not really glossy looking. You get 4.7g of product in each container.

This product is mean’t to give you smooth, defined and precise lines and it is mean’t to be smudge-proof, budge-proof and water resistant, as well as combating against sweat, tears and rain.

When you first use it, the product is brilliant. It is creamy, smooth, defining and precise and has great pigmentation. The downside is that it doesn’t take long for the product to dry out and shrink. One day the container is full and then it is barely there. I only used mine a couple of times before that happened. Even when it was at it’s best, I still wouldn’t say it was completely smudge-proof, budge-proof and water resistant. Also, the purple shade arrived cracked so the whole thing fell out as a dry purple lump! The brush that is included is ok, but it is very small if you are not used to doing your eyeliner with a brush, especially an angled brush.

Overall, it starts out as a perfect cream eyeliner and then gradually disappears, literally! The shade selection is brilliant, but my experiences with all three of mine have put me off completely.

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence.
