Review: M.A.C Fluidline eye-liner gel

M.A.C fluid line eye-liner gels are always great and are known for being very long staying, this colour dark majesty was part of the limited edition collection heirloom mixed. Which is unfortunately now unavailable but any from their staple collection have exactly the same formula. The staple collection only contains five shades (about 16 shades in the US thought!) but I would recommend Blitz and Glitz for a more glamour look as its black with gold flex in it or black track for a classic black winged line.
 The packaging is always exquisite and classy but this is just something else about this one, the black box with the fine silver glitter just makes it seem special.

 The formula is very smooth and easy to apply with no dragging on the eye when applying. I use my real techniques angled brush that they call the brow brush but I personally think it works perfectly with this and is in both the eyeliner and starter kits they do making buying brushes fairly affordable as for five brushes its about £12-£20 and about 18 dollars in the US depending where you purchase them from. I would recommend directly from the real techniques website.

If you can find a way to get hold of this edition, I would if I were you. Its a charcoal black with flex's of super fine silver glitter. which looks really nice with all colours of eyeshadow. But if you can't there are very similar colours out there such as blitz and glitz, it just has gold glitter instead of the silver but it will complement in a very similar way.

The fluid line is one the pricier side for a liner but does last a really long time, I use this one most days since Christmas and haven't even made a dent in it really. It retails for £16.00 in the UK and 16.50 dollars in the US.

Overall this is a beauty must have for everyone and anyone.

Review: Tanya Burr Cosmetics - Lipgloss

I got these three colours from the Tanya Burr advent calendar. I was so please with the selection of colours in this collection and have been wanting to try them for a while.
These once are a sample size of 5ml which is pretty good but the full size once are 7.5ml which retail for £5.99 and can be purchased from feelunique.com and super drug.

But are they really worth the money...

Bewitching

I personally think it depends on which colour you purchase.
Bewitching is my favourite out of all of them as it applies very well and is not sticky on the lips. The colour is very bold and is fairly long wearing about 3-4 hours. Which I think is good for a drug store lipgloss. The main complaint I have about all of the lipgloss's is they all have this extremely strong almost marzipan smell its fine if you like that smell but I personally find it very sickly.

Candy frost

My least favourite colour is Candy Frost as by the name it is very frosty and has large chunky of glitter that just do nothing for the lips. I thought it would be nice to highlight the lip but it doesn't really do anything. Its a very bright pink in the container but has hardly any colour pay of when applied. which is disappointing as I can't even use it for dress up parties! And it has 'that' smell!  

Macaroons 

I'm not totally sure of this colour called macaroon's yet as its the
same texture as bewitching and has the great colour pay of but
I just don't think it will work for my white skin. I think it would look great on olive or darker skin, so might hold onto this for the summer and see if it looks better with tanned skin. I'm hoping it does as orange lip colours are my all time favourites along with berry shades. So I will update you on this in a few months when the sun starts shinning again.
