Sephora Long Lasting Eye Liner Review

Hello Readers!

If you have read my past couple of posts, you will know that I had been to Paris! When in Sephora, I picked up a few bits which caught my eye!

This post is about Sephora's own brand of Long Lasting Eye Liner. I hadn't heard of this product, so I bought it 'blind'. 




THIS. EYELINER. IS. AMAZING. :D Before I went to paris, I was still on the hunt for the perfect eyeliner, but still had not succeeded! So I went into Sephora on the second day I was in Paris, and picked this up. The main thing which attracted it to me, was how thick the brush is! I hate the skinny little brushes, as I like to create a fairly thick line on my eye, and with a thin brush, it takes a lot more precision! This has a spongey textured 'brush' and creates a perfect line!

I tried this out as soon as I got back to our hotel, and fell in love! I wore it for the rest of the day (which it happened to be raining :( ) and it did not budge! I love it so much, I had to go back into Sephora the next day, to stock up! This eyeliner is still a firm favourite of mine! 

I got mine in the colour 01 Black/Noir. It cost me €10.90 which is approx. £8.70.

My Rating: 5/5

Thanks for Reading! 

Lots of Love

Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner

Hello Readers!

Sorry about the long gap in posts, I've been so busy! :(

On to the post.. Alot of people underestimate how good collection 2000 is! I know a lot of bloggers swear by their longwear concealer which they do, and I'm one of them!

For eyeliner, I previously used Maybelline's gel eyeliner, but as I am quite clumsy, it takes me a lot of time to get the perfect line! So I decided to go into Boots, and see what alternatives there are out on the market. In my local Boots, there isnt a huge range of make up brands, but just a few good ones. I already had in mind that I wanted a felt tip liner, as I prefer a thick line on my eyes. I orginally picked up a Bourjois one, which was just under £7. I continued to browse, and found this one on the Collection 2000 range (which has now been renamed as 'collection'). I swatched both of them on my hand, and to me, the formula was the same.

The packaging for this is very sleek, and not offensive. It has a firm plastic lid, which saves you worrying that it will come of in you make up bag and dry out/ make a mess!



The formula is moist, and doesn't drag on your eyes. When I swatched it on paper for the photo, it did look quite dry, but I suppose it is not designed for paper! It applies really nicely, and gives a nice precise application.









It retails for £2.99 which is a complete bargain!

My rating: 3/5
