The first Splurge Or Save? post of 2019! I fully intend to do a lot more of these posts this year, as I really enjoy doing them and it's actually introduced me to a lot of new make-up that I wouldn't normally have tried. As much as I love high-end make-up, it's always good to look at more affordable brands as well! I've actually been meaning to do this post for a while, I just haven't found the time to do it in between the other posts I write. So both of these products are very tried and tested at this point in time! I first bought Ka-Brow from Benefit around two years ago - I really like the brow range from Benefit, especially their Gimme Brow and Precisely, My Brow. I have to say, I never really fell in love with this particular product as I did the others, so when it came to replacing it I thought I'd try out a new brand. Originally, I was looking at the Anastasia Beverly Hills pomade because it seems to be an absolute holy grail product. However, at the ...

I am back with another Splurge Or Save? post and this time I'm looking at two felt-tip liners! I always struggled with eyeliner when I first started getting into makeup: I found normal liquid liners were too messy and with gel liners, I could never get a neat line and I often found they dried out really quickly. I soon discovered felt-tip eyeliners though and I've never looked back! I've found most of the ones I've tried are really easy to use and enable me to get a neat line which I can then build up into the thickness that I want. I discovered the Stila Stay All Day liner about 2 years ago and it's definitely my favourite felt-tip liner I've tried so far! That being said, it is £15 so it's more on the expensive side so I wanted to see if I could find a cheaper drugstore dupe - enter the Soap & Glory Supercat Skinny liner! Keep reading to see how these two compare! Stila Stay All Day Liner So as I said before, this is hands-down my favourite f...

As you're probably aware, I am quite happy to spend a fair amount of money when it comes to makeup, especially anything that's going on my face - I find with most products you get what you pay for and because my skin is quite sensitive, cheaper products tend to irritate it and do more harm than good. That being said, there are quite a few cheaper brands out there that produce some amazing products that easily give higher-end brands a run for their money. I thought it might be fun to do a series on this blog comparing high-end makeup with their drugstore equivalents. Not everyone can afford to go out and splurge a lot of money on makeup, and after a year of living as a student, I've found that drugstore products have very quickly become my new best friend! I'm not sure how regularly I'll be able to do this series, but whenever I try out a new dupe I'll be sure to write a post!
