Bourjois Paris Liner Feutre Felt-Tip Eyeliner Review

I'm feeling a little bit heartbroken as I write this post, as I've had to replace my Stila Stay All Day Liner, which I absolutely ADORED. I'm always a bit wary with felt-tip liners because I've had issues with them coming out really faded or just smudging everywhere, which sucks as I definitely find them easiest to use, but the Stila liner is just amazing. As I'm on a bit of a budget this month, what with Christmas to think about, I did a sensible and decided not to spend £15 on an eyeliner and look for a cheaper one instead. This one was fairly high up on the Boots Top Rated list when I checked their website and at £6.99, I figured it was worth a try!

First Impressions

So the first thing I noticed with this liner is that the nib is a LOT thicker than the Stila one, which I'm not sure about as I like to have a slightly thinner line if I can help it. That being said, when I swatched it I had a bit of an experiment and the actual tip is still quite thin, so you can alternate between which kind of line you want. The thicker part will probably be better for filling in my wings and at least I know I can still get a thin, precise line if I want to. The pigment is also really good; I was worried it would come out more grey than black but I'm pretty happy with the colour.

How It Looked

Ok so I have mixed feelings with this liner having used it for a couple of days. This liner is very temperamental; the first few times I wore it I was pretty pissed off because it had leaked into the creases of my eyelids by the end of the day, something I've found to be a problem with felt-tip liners. HOWEVER it then managed to survive a very sweaty Legs, Bums and Tums class I did at the gym. It had faded a tiny bit but it still looked pretty good considering how hot I got during that class. I'm thinking the trick is to always wear eyelid primer (I'm using the NYX Proof It! Primer at the moment). It was really easy to use and the initial pigment was really nice too, so it's not all bad. I still definitely prefer the Stila one, but for a fraction of the price this liner ain't so bad.

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick "Morning After" Review

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in "Morning After" *New favourite lipstick alert* This lipstick is seriously giving me life right now! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been constantly reaching for it. It's part of the Vice lipsticks collection from Urban Decay, which comes in 100 different shades and 6 different finishes (Comfort Matte, Cream, Metallized, Sheer, Sheer Shimmer and Mega Matte) and they're priced at £15. This one is from the Sheer range, it's a light nude shade that's more on the pink side. What I really love about is how buildable it is in terms of colour; one coat and you just get that really subtle, pink sheen to your lips or you can build it up into a super-glossy pink look! The only bad thing I can say about it is that they haven't made this shade in the matte finish because it would be so perf! (I think the closest you'll get in this finish is "Backtalk")

Why I Came Off The Pill // Honesty Time

I wasn't 100% sure if I was going to write about coming off The Pill or not. I personally think that a lot of people, especially women, feel that they can't talk about contraception and the effects it has openly. I recently read a blog by Alex Jones (her Instagram account is @alexgracejones if you'd like to have a look) which pretty much convinced me to write this. As Alex says in her blog, contraception is a conversation I've had with friends so many times, and yet outside of those circles, you don't really hear anyone speak about it. Personally, as a woman, I've always felt it's pretty much been up to me to make sure I don't get pregnant, whether that's taking hormonal contraception or using a condom. It seems odd to me then, that there aren't many women out there talking openly about their contraception, so I think it's time we changed this! I originally went on The Pill when I was 17 because my periods were really irregular and very h...

The Cherry On Top // Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette Review

Wow I'm actually sitting down to review something that isn't a Birchbox 😂 I've been meaning to write this post since October when I got this palette, but as usual school and other life stuff have meant it's taken until now to do! RRP £42 This palette originally launched in September as a new instalment of Urban Decay's Naked series. I was really excited by it, as it's very different to all of the other Naked palettes out there and I'm a sucker for anything remotely pink-toned. It retails for £42, making it one of the more expensive palettes in the Naked series, and inside are 12 beautiful berry-toned shades: Hot Spot - a matte ivory shade. I always use these for setting my eyeshadow primer and as a browbone highlight shade. Caution - a neutral matte beige. Bang Bang - a pink shimmer. Feelz - a dusty rose matte shade. Juicy - a peachy pink matte. This is a great transition shade. Turn On - a gorgeous rose-gold metallic shade. Ambitio...
