Apologies for the slowness in posting, I've spent the last few days trying to kick myself into 'organised pre-uni mode' which is never fun! I have to squeeze packing, sorting out my student loan, spending time with my family, friends and dog over here before I leave for the UK on Wednesday, so I'm a bit stressed! Never mind that now, though, as I have a few things I'd like to talk about:
- I am very, very impressed with Garnier Nutrisse hair dye. Why, you may ask? Because I chose a colour named, in a literal translation, Conker Brown. I picked this partly because my roots were dark and the rest of my hair was orange thanks to my previous dye exploits, and partly because I've always loved the colour of conkers, the way they change colour from brown to red depending on the light. So I slapped this on my head yesterday with the help of my mother and guess what? My hair is the exact colour of a conker! So like I said, very impressed. These hair dyes are also good value for money, retailing at £4.99 in Boots or Superdrug, and they smell considerably nicer than other dyes I've tried. Of course you still have that inevitable dye smell, but there's also a lovely fruity scent, and the conditioner in the box is lovely too! Excuse the awful lighting in the photo, but I think it shows off the colour quite nicely!
- My lovely Bourjois liquid liner died a painful death the other week...well, okay, the felt tip part decided to separate and now when I mean to draw a single line I get lots of little ones...very interesting, but not the effect I'm going for, really! So over the last few days I've been trying to define my eyes without liquid liner and trust me, for someone who is pitifully dependent on liquid liner and has been for the last few years, this is no easy task! It didn't help that I lacked a blending brush (I own one now, thanks to the gracious Naty) and often ended up with eyeshadow all over my face, but I've kind of got to grips with it now, I think (I hope).
For the look above I swiped a bit of Sleek Kajal liner on my upper lash line, then put some pale gold eyeshadow over the top and blended it so it didn't look too harsh (and messy, given that I am no good with crayon liners), then defined the crease with MUA brown eyeshadow. I also rubbed the blending brush along my lower lash line to see what would happen (I got some shadow in my eye, but most of it ended up on the lash line...) and then finished it off with mascara on upper and lower lashes. I also dabbed some Body Shop lip stain on my lips, but it doesn't really show up so well on camera!
Given that I am now once again on the hunt for a liquid eyeliner, I was thinking of trying out a brand other than Bourjois. So today my question is, what is your favourite liquid eyeliner?
