Laura Geller Lustereyes 24 Hour Eyeliner Review


As much as I hate my mum leaving me to go and visit her family in Oxford, she has a pretty good habit of coming back with some absolute gems for me; this time was no exception. As well as a gorgeous grey Jack Wills nail varnish and a Rimmel blush, she also brought me back this Laura Geller eyeliner. I'm not too good with proper liquid eyeliner so recently I've opted for felt-tip liners, but this brush is so thin and the handle is a good size so I think it might be quite easy to use! I can't find a set price for this one online; it's not listed on the website, so I don't know if it's discontinued. However there were some eBay listings for about £8-£10 so it might be easy to find on there!


First Impressions

As I said, the actual brush part is really thin, so I'm thinking this liner might be better for thin, cat-eye looks rather than thick and dramatic. It went on really smoothly and the pigment is really nice too! 


















How It Looked

Ok, so I L-O-V-E this eyeliner! So much that I think it's very possible I will give up with the felt-tip liners and switch back to liquid. Yeah, THAT good. The brush is so fine that you get a really precise line and it's so easy to create long, dramatic wings with it (I haven't in this photo as I was on my way to work) and it lasted the whole day with no smudging or runs. My only niggle is that it's a little bit hard to take off, but if it means it will stay on my lid all day I'm happy to overlook that!

Rating: 5/5

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...
