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.

 Rating - 3/5

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")

Birchbox Goodies // April 2019

I'm writing this having just watched the latest Game of Thrones episode so bear with - I'm a bit emotionally fragile right now! (If you haven't seen it yet you are in for 90 minutes of OH MY CHRIST) A little bit late with this month's Birchbox post; I've started back at school again so it's been a little bit crazy but I figured I'd get this out while I've still got 2 days of the month left! This month's box is inspired by the healing power of crystals and enhancing your natural glow from within. Now, I don't really believe in crystal healing but I am all about that inner glow (plus they're beautiful to look at) so I was pretty excited by this box design! This month, I received a Benefit POREfessional primer, an ESTATE highlighter, an eye mask from Vitamasques, a Human+Kind moisturiser and an eye cream from Balance Me. ESTATE Cosmetics Dew Me Baked Highlighter in "Afterglow" RRP £10 Ok, so I wasn't really looking forw...

Birchbox Goodies // May 2019

Does anyone else have a major urge to just spend the next few months sitting in the nearest beer garden or is that just me? Summer is well and truly making its return and for this month's Birchbox we're celebrating being able to spread our wings (although I wish those wings were taking me to a beach). In this box, I got a Lord & Berry eyeliner, a toner from Sukin, a Beautaniq mascara, a face sunscreen from Mimitika and a hair mask from Philip Kingsley. Lord & Berry Line/Shade Eye Pencil RRP £13 I'm pretty sure I've received one of these in a previous Birchbox and from what I remember, I liked this product then and I like it now! I don't really use black pencil liner unless I'm doing a dark smokey eye, in which case I'll use it to line my bottom lashline. This one is pretty pigmented and also smudges out really nicely so it ticks all the boxes for what I look for in a product like this. I do think the price tag is a little expensive though, ...
