Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo by Eye Studio in 65 Pink-gold, PPR £5

What can I say? I love this product, It's just a beautiful rose gold, perfect on it's own or blended with other eyeshadows. It glides on like a cream, and once it's dry It does not go anywhere, it really does live up to its 24hr brag. Its more of a shimmer than very pigmented however it really stands out. For only £5 for a very large pot, this will last a long time and is definitely worth every penny.

Revlon Colorstay Gel eyeliner RRP £8.99

I have only every used the pencil eyeliner, I have tried liquid liners but I seem to get more on the rest of my face than the line i want on the eye.

This was recommended to me by a friend and so I picked it up, after more than a few shakey starts it took me a little while to draw a good line (the above picture is with illamasqua pure pigment added as i only really like a thin line). This stuff takes seconds to dry and once its on its a tough little bugger to remove, so I love it as you really can get all day wear from it. The pot and brush is inovative in the way it all clips in together and for such a low price its a top end product. As soon as I run out I am buying more!

Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Incite PPR £15.50 bought in sale for £5

Me and Laura fell in love with this on a shopping tip just before Christmas. We had lots of fun playing with the pigments and swatching them before settling on this little baby. To be warned it does have a lot and I mean lot of fallout, the only way I have reduces this to to slowly build up the look to the desired coverage and only put the smallest amount on the brush that I can.

However even with a little fallout, it you lightly rub the fallout over the top of the cheeks you can get a nice highlight/sheen effect. The color is great of its own or to bring a more warm look to a darker make up. For me the gold really helps to bring out the color in my eyes. The pigment is super soft, not what you'd typically expect from colored glitter, but it is. It glides on, is ridiculously easy to blend and a little goes a long way. It's rare for me to find a high end product that I can not compare to a high street range, but this is just in a league of its own.

I will be purchasing more once I run out, but hopefully with the little amount you need to use that won't be for a long long time!

Natural Collection Eye Shadow in Barley from Boots RRP £1.79

This is a lot more pigmented that it looks in its little case, but once its out its beautiful, Its a champagne with gold to warm it up more and the fall out is non existent. I really picked this up on a whim, I have lots of gold tones from illamasqua's pure pigment (review soon) to MUA's undress me and undress me too pallettes which hold a lot of gold tones it it. however the fallout from these is always pretty high, even when you go carefully. The only bonus with fallout from gold tones is that when you rub into the top of your cheeks you can get a highlight effect look without adding anything else.

If Pigment/glitter is not your thing or you only like a little, then the good news is that this is completely buildable, and the picture is after 3 coats, and only looks quite so bright due to the flash of my camera, It's soft and easy to blend as well as a really natural and complementary shade to add to anyone's collection, and for only £1.79 its pretty much a bargain.

L'oriel Telescopic Clean Definition Mascara in Black/Noir rrp £10

I Picked this up in my haul last week, I bough it because I have almost run out of my Diorshow Iconic mascara and have been told this is the closest on the high street to the Diorshow.
Now I love my Diorshow, the way it lengthens your lashes, gives good coverage without looking clumpy.

The L'oriel Telescopic is under half the price and is a pretty good product, the brush is very fexible and slim, it really covers the same as the iconic and it lengthens your natural lashes to a point that seems almost unbelievable. This product does not add volume to your lashes just the length, but for me, personally that is what I prefer.
