All about EyeLiner: L'Oreal's Super Liner Black Lacquer

I don't know about yous but finding an awesome eyeliner is like finding a needle in a haystack, almost impossible. Especially if you have unbelievably oily eyelids like myself.  I have tried loads of eyeliner from pencil eyeliner to gel eyeliner. Some are rubbish, some are mediocre. Some eyeliner would come come easily and do not have the best staying power. Even the waterproof eyeliners let me down. However after many years of looking for the best eyeliner, I finally found IT. I introduce to you the best eyeliner you will ever lay your hands on : L'Oreal's Super Liner Black Lacquer in Black Vinyl.

It is unbelievable. I was a bit hesitant at first as I have used eyeliners from L'Oreal before and they weren't that good. But this little baby right here does the job. Although it is a felt tip eyeliner, it doesnt dry up quickly and the product will last you for a loooooooong time. I've had this eyeliner for nearly 7 months now and there is no sign of the product drying up. All you have to do before you open it is give it a good shake.The product will last on your eyelid forever. Kidding. The staying power is pretty close to forever though. The colour doesnt fade away after 6 hours and looks like its only been put on. Its not waterproof but I did a little experiment to test this eyeliner. Run it under the tap (or faucet for you non-Irish readers out there) and it will stay where it is. Its that good.

I highly recommend this product to anyone who's looking for an eyeliner that won't make you looking like a Panda after 2 hours. It's also very inexpensive. I think this costs around 9E and is available in most drugstores.

 These are the face products I'm currently using everyday. 

Sleek Concealer & Corrector Palette 03

I recently purchased Sleek's Concealer & Corrector Palette in Shade 03 from www.beautyemporium.ie
I have been using it lately and I would like to share my opinion on this product.

Product : Sleek's Concealer & Corrector Palette in Shade 03
Website : http://beautyemporium.ie/index.php/brands/sleek-make-up/face/sleek-corrector-and-concealer-palette-3.html / www.cloud10beauty.com
Price : 10.00E (But I got it for 7.50E from the beautyemporium as they are having a clearance sale!)

Sleek really lives up to its name. The packaging is so chic and sleek! The product comes with a concealer, a corrector and a powder to set it. The product contains SPF 15 so it is perfect for the weather we currently have in Ireland. I love this product because it covers my pesky dark under eyes. It covers up my acne pretty well. With the help of the setting powder, it helps the concealer's longevity. It is perfect if you're in a rush as it blends easily without looking caked up. I set the concealer with a plain concealer brush.

Excuse my small hands.

I love this product and I highly recommend this to anyone who doesnt have a very problematic skin  and would like a natural coverage.

Catrice Cosmetics : 18 H Photofinish Foundation

I bought a foundation from Catrice Cosmetics two days ago from a local pharmacy here in Dublin. I have been using MakeUp Atelier's Gel Foundation for the past couple of weeks. It is one of my favourite foundation however I must have been cleaning my face wrong but my face broke out soon after using it. So after spending money on the gel foundation, I decided to use a foundation from a different product.

I came across Catrice's 18H Photo Finish Foundation. The description says that it contains light-reflecting pigments to ven out skin imperfection and perfectly matches the skin tone. The foundation promises a naturally glowing complexion without mask-effect and to last for 18H. It is oil-free and gives a flawless and radiant complexion. I got the shade 30 which is a Caramel Beige. They didnt have tester on their foundation products however they had testers for everything else. The shade looked alright from the sticker on top of the cap. But when I got home the foundation was a shade darker than my usual shade. It also had a weird, strong smell. I still decided to give it a try anyway.


I used my ELF Mineral Face Primer and my F20 Flat Top Kabuki Brush from Blank Canvas Cosmetics.
My face gets oily throughout the day so on my first day of using this foundation, I set my T-Zone areas with my Bare Mineral's Mineral Veil.

After the first use I was very surprised at how well this foundation works. It didn't budge at all. It covered my problematic skin really well. My face was not oily at all though it might have been because of the mineral veil. I used it again today to test how well this foundation, without the use of Mineral Veil this time, to check how this would last me throughout the day. I was in college and had to run some errands after. It actually lasted for a good 8 hrs. I didnt put any powder or retouched the foundation. There was no oily spots for a good few hours. When I got home, my forehead was the only oily area that I could notice.

Overall this foundation has been satisfactory. No breakouts so far.  I would recommend this product to people who have normal-combination/oily skin. It is also a steal at just 7 euro. (6.49 to be exact).
I'm very happy with this product. The only bad thing about it is there are only 4 shades. I will probably purchase the lighter shade and mix them together to get the perfect shade for me. The smell is also quite strong when you pump the product out. The smell goes away after application though so not to worry about it.

Thank you for reading this review.
