Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Pen in Black Excess

Despite trying tones of beauty products every year, there's one product I've never been able to master! If you haven't guessed from the title already, I'm talking about eyeliner, although this new launch from Maybelline has been a complete game changer for me, and thanks to the ease of application has become a staple in my make up bag.

I've had my eye on the They're real push up liner since posts first started popping up around a month ago, although at nearly £20 I was pretty determined to find a cheaper alternative and as you can imagine I was over the moon when I saw this Lasting Drama gel liner from Maybelline.

While this isn't the cheapest product around at £8.99, its around £10 cheaper than the Benefit alternative! The design is also really similar being a gel formula in a pen form with a flexible angled tip. You simply turn the bottom of the pen once to release the product, although if too much spills out like in the below picture be sure to wipe any excess away.

I really like the packaging of this, not only is it clean and simple the fact that you screw the lid into place insures the liner is kept in the best possible state and is less likely to dry out.  As I've already mentioned liner is also a gel formula means that you still get that intensity which comes with classic gel liners with the ease of a pen style applicator. This angled tip also allows users to control the thickness of their desired line. Once applied this lasted all day on me without any problems. Although this isn't the easiest product to get off so I'd recommend using a good remover along side it (I found Bioderma works a treat).

Overall I think this is a great little product, and potentially a fantastic Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner Dupe! You can find it on the highstreet for £8.99, although as always look out for offers!

MUA Extreme Felt Eyeliner

I am terribly bad at eyeliner or anything that involves some kind of skill when it comes to make up - so when I saw this felt one from MUA for just £2 I figured I'd give it a go. I've tried all sorts of eyeliners; pencils, liquid, gels but nothing has been easier than this little beauty.

MUA's extreme felt eyeliner makes topping of a look with liner possible for us less skilled out there - For the first time in a long time I managed to wear eyeliner out today. I love that with this you can control how thick you want the line - Making a simple flick so easy!

The image to the left shows the eyeliner when first applied and the image to the right shows it after eight whole hours which is pretty impressive especially when you consider it only cost £2!
You can pick this up in selected superdrug stores or here

Avon Glimmerstick Eye Liner

I'm always on the look out for a great eye liner, So when I saw this one from Avon- I had to give it ago,

After all who wouldn't want an eye liner that promises smooth gliding with precision lining that wont drag or smudge lasting up to 12 hours!

                    I really enjoyed using this eye liner, It is one of the best I have ever used,

Avon weren't lying when they said it glides on smoothly, I found it so comfortable to use!

Considering I'm pretty terrible when it comes to using eye liners this was so easy for me to use,

 It also does a bloody good job at staying put all day, I cant wait to try it in more colours!

Avon Glimmerstick Eye Liners are currently two for £8 on Avons website, to get yours click HERE

Rimmel Exaggerate Automatic Waterproof Eye Definer

When I was younger, Rimmel products really appealed to me- But as I have gotten older, I’ve completely forgotten about them. So While I was on holiday I figured I’d give them a chance and pick up a few things. I liked the look of Rimmel Exaggerate Automatic Waterproof Eye Definer so picked one up:

It’s a double sided eyeliner, On one side you get the eyeliner its self;

 And on the other a tip for smudging;

On the left if the eyeliner without smudging, the right is with smudging;

Here's how the eyeliner looked (Without mascara):

And with:

 

Personally the whole smudging thing doesn’t appeal to me- But despite that it was a great eyeliner. I’m rubbish when it comes to putting most of them on, but I seemed to do okay with this one. It was a great smooth application- something I love in an eyeliner!

The eyeliner is currently £3.99 in boots- Bargain if you ask me, plus at the moment if you spend £6 or more on Rimmel you get a free Rimmel Glam'Eyes Liquid Eye Liner!
