UK/US Beauty Swap with Her Late Night Cravings

Hey Everyone!! H|ow are you all doing? Great I hope! Haven't we been lucky with the weather here the last few days in the UK, I hope that you are all getting a chance to enjoy the sunshine.

Enough about the weather, on to today's post.  I have been lucky enough to take part in a beauty swap with the beautiful ladies, Jayme & Mendi over at Her Late Night Cravings.

Now these two girls are amazing!! Their videos and blog posts always brighten up my day, and it was them that made me brave enough to take the YouTube plunge a year ago.

So a couple of months ago, we started emailing and chatting about doing a beauty swap, like the girls, I cant remember how it came up, but I am so so pleased it did. I have loved the whole process of chatting, getting to know the ladies, shopping for them and finally sending and receiving parcels.

Our boxes arrived last week ( I was so excited when I came home to it on Thursday!!) We both decided to film unboxing videos, it was seriously like Christmas. I was so lucky, the girls picked out beautiful items for me that we can not get here in the UK, and if you watch my video, you will see, I was more than a little excited!!lol.

I really can not say thank you enough to you both, I am so lucky to of made friends with you beautiful ladies and had the chance to do this with you :)

Please if you are not already subscribed ( Im sure you are!!) check out Jayme and Mendi's YouTube Channel Here. Seriously, you will love them!!

Also If you would like to see what I picked out for them, please follow the link below....

Bourjois Contour Clubbing Waterproof Eyeliners...........

A product that I have been loving for the last couple of months now are the Waterproof Contour Clubbing Eyeliners from Bourjois.

These super soft creamy liners are crease resistant and super pigmented. They last all day in the waterline and on the lash line.

Black Party and Bleu Neon

I started off with the shade Bleu Neon, which is a beautiful green with a lovely shimmer that really makes the eyes look bright. After being super impresses with it, I decided to take the plunge and pick up the black.

I wasn't disappointed.

These are without a doubt my favorite drugstore eye liners. Unlike other so called waterproof liners I have tried in the past they really are waterproof, smudge proof and budge proof.

If you are on the look out for a good value, quality liner this may be one for you.

They are £4.99 and available from Boots and Superdrug.

February Favorites 2013 and a fail................

How excited am I that Spring is on the way!!!

I really am pleased that its time for February Favorites as it means that Spring is nearly here.

I have had a complete skin care over haul this month, although I was seeing some improvements, it wasn't enough, so I got some advice and have started using Avene.

As well as lots of favorites, I do have one fail this month, maybe its something you can help me with?

What have you been loving this month???

Chanel Waterproof Liner..............

If you watched my face of the week video or read my post this week, you will know that I have been trying to use up a retractable black eyeliner from Buxom. 

You will of also heard my moaning and groaning about how it smudges and ends up everywhere, something I HATE!!

Well I finally used it up ( Yay, empties post coming this weekend!!) and replaced it in my makeup bag with this, the Chanel Waterproof Retractable liner in Ebony.

  

It is soooo lovely to be using this liner again. Gone are the smudges, my eyeliner has no longer vanished by 11am, I have a black water line and so much more.

This beautiful liner gives a smooth and long wearing finish. The liner is firm enough that it doesn't become messy to apply, yet at the same time it isn't to hard so that it drags the delicate eye area.

It works like a dream in the waterline, giving good colour that is smudge free. 

You can see from the swatch above the great pigment and colour pay off you get. 

Now at £19 I know that this isn't a cheap product, however I do feel that it is worth every single penny. 

Sometimes it simply is true that you get what you pay for and this is one of them.

The closest liner in comparison that I have used is the Technakohl liner from MAC. At £14 they are slightly more affordable, I still think the Chanel is better tho, and for £5 extra I would still go for it, its what a lot of people spend on a coffee and sandwich in Starbucks in a day. lol.

So what do you think? Have you tried any of the liners I've mentioned?

Do you think you get what you pay for sometimes?
