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.

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price ·          Released in 2007 (12 years ago). ·          Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. ·          Classed as a floral scent. ·       ...

Serial Sampler #43

I decided to purchase a sample of this perfume online as I missed out on the free sample offer on Facebook (I had no idea it was being offered). Lady GaGa is the face of the advertising campaign for this fragrance and the television adverts feature a reworked snippet of her song ‘Sine From Above’.   It is Voce Viva by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A couture and feminine bouquet of white flowers that gives Italian tradition a contemporary edge. ” Launched: 2020   Type: Floral Woody Musk / Feminine Notes Top: Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Ginger. Middle: Orange Blossom and Gardenia. Base: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Sandalwood and Oakmoss. This is a very soft floral scent and it smells lovely. It dries down very light and not overpowering, which is nice but I feel like it could be a little stronger as it smells quite weak on me. I can detect the Bergamot, Vanilla, Musk and Sandalwood notes. It is my type of floral scent even tho...
