Maybelline | Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Review & Swatch

What Mabelline say:

Oil free formula which is smudge and water resistant and lasts for up to 24 hours. Its safe for sensitive eyes and for contact lens wearers.

I really like this gel eyeliner, the brush you get with it is great for the price and lovely to use with the gel as it's so smooth.

It lasts really well throughout the day and true to its word it doesn't smudge- whoo hoo! This does mean that you need to be quick with any mistakes when you first apply it though. If i go wrong I just use a little make up remover and a cotton bud and allll is fine :)

Another thing I love about this eyeliner is it doesn't go all flakey and dry!

I got this eyeliner with a buy 2 get 1 free deal but its usually around £7 which isn't too bad. I've had this for around 3 months now and I've used it every day since I got it but it still has absolutely loads left in there.

I really recommend this eyeliner, its a staple in my makeup bag and I will be repurchasing when it runs out :)

What eyeliner do you use? ♥

MAC Makeup | Studio Sculpt Foundation Review & Swatch

MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation Review
in NC20

I bought this for £24 in Mac at Westfield’s :)

If you have read any of my other reviews you will know I have the most dry, sensitive skin ever :(  so I'm on the hunt for my perfect foundation which hydrates my skin and doesn't cling to my dry patches or irritate me to high heaven :)

So anyway,  I thought I'd give this a go as it’s a nice gel foundation and it is described as 'hydrating' which is a defo a plus for me!


I have to say straight away that I Love Love Love this foundation.. It’s definitely up there with the YSL Touché Éclat foundation (click here for review)

It’s described as medium/build able coverage which I would definitely agree with as it covers my pink cheeks and blemishes with no problems and doesn't accentuate them at all! I purchased this in NC20 as it’s got the cool tone which counteracts my redness (result!). It spreads nice and easily too. It does smell a little bit like paint but it’s not unpleasant at all.

 It has a nice dewy finish and makes my skin feel soft and moisturised which is really rare for me. This doesn't dry my skin out at all which really surprised me to be honest as I tried the MAC mineralize foundation but I didn't really like that. As this is quite a full coverage I do find that with frequent use it does give me a few blemishes so I often stick to this on a night out or on that special occasion.

This is definitely one of my favourite foundations as it makes my skin look flawless (which it isn't) so it is hard to leave it alone at times!

 

If anyone knows of good foundations for dry/sensitive skin pleasssse let me know :) ♥
