e.l.f Mineral Eyeliner in Midnight

I decided to buy this on a whim because the half-price sale was on. I decided to choose a colour instead of plain black for a change, plus it was out of stock anyway. I was also interested in the fact that it doesn’t need sharpening.
The packaging is a small black plastic stick and the design is pretty simple and to the point. To dispense the product you need to remove the cap, which clicks back into place and twist the end of the pencil to reveal the product hidden inside. The formula is 100% mineral based, which means it is free from parabens, preservatives and chemical dyes. You get 0.21g of product and the shade I have is Midnight, which is a soft, dark navy blue that almost looks black.
This eyeliner is supposed to give you a natural, soft and brilliant defined line and provide good coverage. It is also mean’t to be gentle for sensitive eyes and be easy for instant use because it doesn’t need sharpening.

This is not a bad eyeliner, but I have tried better. It does give your eyes natural, soft and smooth definition and it is gentle to apply. I think it lacks pigmentation because it doesn’t give you a block colour line. It looks like you need to go over the line a few more times. The coverage is good enough if you are going for a smoky or smudgy look, but not if you want bold definition. The wear time is average and it doesn’t smudge or transfer, unless you apply it to your lower lashes or waterline. The waterline wear time is way below average, but that could just be because it is mineral. When you first apply it to your waterline, it does make your eyes pop! Also the colour is not distinctive enough when you are wearing it because it just looks like a washy black. The best thing about this eyeliner is the fact that it is retractable and the eyeliner is quite thin, which means you are able to get a thin and even line.

Overall it is a good product if you want a soft or smoky look, but if you are after proper definition this will not be the best thing to use. I probably won’t re-purchase and the downside for most eyeliners for me is the lack of shade options. This eyeliner currently only comes in your standard smoky colours.

Tarte Tartelette Tease Palette

I saw this advertised last year and I have been interested in the full sized Tartelette palettes before, but couldn’t really justify buying one (plus I couldn’t find anywhere in the UK that sold them). I thought getting this little ‘tease’ would introduce me to the brand, plus the shades look very appealing. This palette is described as being the “pocket-perfect version” of the original Tartelette palette. I thought it would be slightly bigger, but it is actually pocket sized. It is a similar size to the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palettes, but it is shorter in length and slightly wider. It’s overall layout is landscape with a length of 9.7cm and width of 5.8cm. It is made of cardboard and has a pink, purple and gold theme. The lid of the palette is magnetised and you lift it up to reveal the eyeshadows. It also has a small mirror on the reverse side of the lid and the eyeshadow pans are laid out in two rows of three shades. The pans are rectangular in shape and the shades n...

KALEIDOS Futurism VII: Sashimi City Palette

This was the futurism palette that I was the most excited about trying. It’s the one that has the most cohesive colour story to me and I do love me some warm neutrals! I still have three more futurism palettes to test out and I can’t wait. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a long thin rectangle shape and the concept reminds me of a wardrobe. There is a purple, pink and coral city skyscraper theme all over the packaging. It has a magnetic closing and you open up the left side first and then the right side to reveal the circular eyeshadow pans and long thin mirror inside. The outside theme continues to the inside. The eyeshadow shade names come printed on a removable plastic sheet. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 1.33g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M), Duo-Chrome (DC) and Multi-Chrome (MC) finishes.   ·          Rich and Velvety Texture ·          Smooth as Silk Application ·   ...

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shi...
