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.

O.P.I Breakfast at Tiffany's Mini Mani Month Set

I heard that O.P.I would be releasing a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection and I was really interesting in trying some shades, so when I was browsing the O.P.I website and came across this set, I snapped it up straight away! The packaging is like a white and lilac fashion book and it has a beauty advent calendar vibe. It is a sort of alternative to a beauty calendar. There are five rows with five shades covering two sides of the book. You can open the windows that cover the shades, but it will reveal all five shades, which is why it doesn’t quite pass as a calendar. Plus, you can’t actually take the bottles out like you would a beauty/chocolate calendar. You have to open the sides of the book and pull out the five separate plastic trays which hold the bottles. There seems to be a lot of wasted packaging this way. You get twenty-five 3.75ml bottles of Nail Lacquer and the set contains new shades from the Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection, and some old favourites already pa...

GUCCI Mini Perfume Gift Set

Today I am going to review a perfume gift set that I bought from Boots.com during their Boxing Day sales 2014. It is the GUCCI Miniatures Gift Set and it was exclusively sold in Boots stores and on Boots.com. I love the concept of mini perfume sets and it’s a shame that not more brands do them! You get to sample more scents from brands, and if there is a certain perfume you are interested in, you would be able to sample it before potentially wasting your money buying a full size bottle of a scent you might not like. In this particular set you get five (5ml) mini fragrances to sample and I actually already bought a full size of the Guilty scent, but waited until I got this set to test it! A big gamble I know, but it did pay off this time! Here are the five miniature bottles of scents included:- FLORA BY GUCCI The bottle is so cute and with a little ribbon bow too. The notes contained in this little bottle are; citrus, peony, mandarin, osmanthus, rose, sandalwood, patchouli and ...
