Battle of the gel liners......

If you have watched my YouTube videos for a while, something you will of heard me talking about a terrible lot is a gel liner comparison video.

Well I finally got around to filming it and have it to share with you today.

I had 11 liners in total and I have put them into 1st- 6th place.

It was actually easy to pick out the ones I love from those I hated, I have however found that in several cases there is more than one in each place as they all have different pros and cons.

The liners I mention are.....

Estee Lauder Double Wear

Loreal Gel Intenza

Sleek Ink pot

Elf Cream liner

Mac Fluid line

Clinique Cream Liner

Revlon Colour stay

MUA Gel Liner

Collection Gel liner

Laura Geller Ink Well

Inglot Gel Liner

So what is your favourite gel/cream liner???

March empties 2013........

So here they are......

What have you finished off this month??

Sleek Mirrored Pink.......

I'm a bit of a sucker when it comes to Sleek Blushes, I just love them. They are a great price, beautiful colours and have fantastic pigment.

I saw the latest, a limited edition shade called Mirrored Pink in Superdrug a few weeks ago, and of course I picked it up.

Mirrored Pink is part of the Aqua collection that features a 12 shadow compact and a set of polishes.

It is a pretty bubblegum pink with soft shimmer running through. Like all sleek blushes, it is super pigmented and needs a gentle hand. If you wanted to skip a highlight, with this blush you could do just that as the shimmer is lovely and soft, not at all glittery and adds a lovely sheen to the skin.

Left, straight swatch, on the right blended out

As you can see from the swatches above, it really does catch the light. It is perfect for spring time and adds a lovely flush of colour to the cheeks.

At £4.49 this is a bargain in anybody's book!! 

Drugstore wise I really do feel that Sleek make the best.

Sleek is available in selected branches of Superdrug and On line. Sleek also ship internationally which is fab!!!

Has anything from the Aqua collection caught your eye??

Vichy Dermablend Setting Powder.....

I have never really been a fan of loose powders as a rule. 

I have used the Elf Hd and Mac Prep & Prime, these two being my favorites so to speak. Neither tho are products that I reach for daily.

Having had some issues with my skin recently (I have PCOS)I have been struggling with breakouts an keeping them covered. 

I had heard a few beauty Gurus on YouTube talking about Dermablend, a brand that has high cover concealers and foundations for those needing a fuller cover. I have tried the foundation in the past, and although I liked it, my skin at the time was pretty good and so I sold it in a blog sale.

Knowing how full cover the foundation is I decided that I wanted to have a look at the concealer and loose powder ( LisaLisaD1 loves the powder!!).

I came away with the powder, hoping that as promised by the box it would be my fixer.

I cannot tell you enough how much I love this powder and how fantastic it works.

Its Hypoallergenic and Paraben Free, both fantastic. The powder itself is designed to set the Dermablend foundations and concealers and promises up to 16 hours with a matte and natural result.

The white soft, finely milled powder disappears on the skin, leaving what I would say is almost a satin finish rather than a flat matte look. Its not at all cakey or powdery looking and really does make my makeup last all day.

Since I have been using this I have found that I hardly if at all need to touch up my makeup throughout the day. For the first time ever I am completely sold on a loose powder.

I used it in my recent get ready with me video if you want to see it in action.....

I paid £14.30 for the powder at Boots you can get it in selected stores and online.

Have you ever tried Dermablend??

March Favorites 2013......

Happy Easter everyone!!

I hope that you all had a lovely time with your families.

March is one of my favorite months of the year and I am always sad to see it gone. 

That said, this March really hasn't been like most what with all the snow and strange weather that we have had in the UK. Where has Spring gone??

I had some gorgeous beauty favorites this month, I have enjoyed popping a little bit of colour into my daily look. 

I have rediscovered some old favorites as well as some new ones.

What have you loved this month?
