Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner | Review

I picked up the Eyeko liquid eyeliner in the August 2013 edition of Marie Claire. I was so excited to pick this up as I had heard so many good reviews and felt it was a great deal to get a good liquid eyeliner for just over £2.

The Claim:

'Our easy-to-apply, pen-style nib allows you to create thick feline flicks or fine defined lines to accentuate your eyes.  With our unique long-lasting formula featuring key ingredient Sodium Hyaluronate for a gratifying, colour-intense smudge-proof finish.  Dot along the lash line for subtle definition or press the pen gently on its side and glide on colour in a single stroke. Best used on clean, oil-free lids.'

Packaging:
I love the packaging of this eyeliner, it stands out from the typical all black eyeliner packaging that a lot of brands have. It is also incredibly lightweight and easy to carry around with you. It has a felt tip nib instead of a traditional eyeliner brush, which for some is an advantage as it makes it easier to use.

Colour:
In the swatches above I've compared the Eyeko eyeliner with my favourite Benefit Magic Ink eyeliner (which I posted about HERE) and also the Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil Eyeliner in zero. As you can see, the colour is far less intense than that of the Benefit eyeliner and is more similar to the pencil eyeliner. I'm disappointed in the colour of this, I expected a true black colour, but instead what you get is a faded black colour. I only like to wear true black liquid eyeliner, and for me this eyeliner does not deliver that. If you prefer a less intense look from your eyeliner you may like this.

Application:
I find application of this difficult, I tend to find felt tip eyeliners easier to use but this was an exception. I tried using it on its side and straight on and I find it hard to get a smooth line or much pigment. I've seen other reviews of this which have found it easy to use so my technique may just be wrong or I got a bad batch.

Availability & Pricing:
The full-size Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner is available from Eyeko for £10 and is available in black, purple, brown and blue.

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint Swatch and Comparison | 01 Bare

Hey guys, as you may know I have incredibly pale skin and am always on the look out to find the perfect foundation to suit my skin colour. On my blog I have posted swatches of pale foundations here and here, and have more foundations to swatch today.

Today, I have swatched the shade '01 Bare' from the Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint range. This is the palest colour that Liz Earle currently stock.

Left to Right:

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint in Bare 01, Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in 51, Urban Decay Naked Skin in 0.5, Illamasqua Skin Base in 2.0, L'oreal Infallible Foundation in 15 Porcelain, Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in 00 Alabaster, Illasmasqua Rich Liquid in #115

The foundation shade that the Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint is most similar to is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum. The Liz Earle is slightly lighter and a tad more yellow based. The Liz Earle definitely has yellow undertones rather than pink undertones, which are obvious when compared to a pink based foundation such as the Urban Decay one.

The Liz Earle is slightly too dark for me to wear as I do have pale skin but if you are slightly darker than my skin colour I can see this working. If you are very fair though, you may have to do some blending if you want to wear this.

Pale Foundation Swatches | Updated Feat. Illamasqua, Revlon, YSL and Bourjois

I have very fair skin and often struggle to find foundation that matches it, particularly from the drugstore/highstreet. To help others like me, I compiled a huge post containing pale foundation swatches from foundations I'd used throughout the years here. However, this post was actually written a while before it was posted, and I have a few new foundations to add to the swatch list. I no longer have some of the foundations in that post, but swatched the new foundations against some older foundations for comparison.



The first photograph is taken in direct lighting in front of a window, while the second photograph is taken away from the window. This should give you an idea of how the foundations look in different lighting.

The two new shades to my collection are the YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation (far left) and the New Revlon 24 Hour Colourstay Foundation (this is different to the old one, I've had both and much prefer this).

YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat in BR20
The YSL foundation is in the shade BR20 (so the second lightest of the pink undertones range). I was matched to this instore by the sales assistant, however I don't think it's the best match for me at all. It looks better on my face than it does on my arm, but it is still too dark and too pinky. Before I was matched by the sales assistant, the colour B10 looked like the best match for me but she said that would be too light. I'd say this it too dark for my skin and I need blending to make it match. However, there is a shade lighter than this, so that could be a better pale match. It is very similar in shade to the Bourjois foundation which is too dark for me too ( I have the lightest shade 51).

Revlon 24 Hour Colourstay in Ivory
This is a new formulation of the Revlon Colourstay foundation, and I much prefer the new formulation. I will be doing a review on it soon because I really love this foundation. The colour is lighter than the previous formula and it is a great match for my skin. Along with the L'oreal True Match Perfection this is one of the best drugstore/highstreet offerings I've found to suit pale skin. It is darker than both the Illamasqua shades which I find are just a bit too pale for me.

Let me know what foundations you love for your skin or any recommendations in the comments!

Gel Eyeliner Comparison | Sleek MakeUP, Bobbi Brown & MAC

Hey everyone, today I am doing a comparison of the three gel eyeliners I own. Gel eyeliners are one of my favourite makeup products, but when I first began using them I was unsure of what to look for. Until recently, gel eyeliners were also not easily available on the highstreet which made it even harder for me to decide which brand to buy eyeliner from. Speaking to other, non-makeup obsessed people they tend not to know about gel eyeliners or if they do, not know where to buy them from or which ones are best for which purpose. I hope this post is helpful in answering those queries, and if I use other gel eyeliners I will add them to this post. 

Sleek MakeUP Ink Pot in 'Dominatrix'

I recently purchased the Sleek gel eyeliner as I had run out of my Holy Grail Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner (discussed below) and needed  a new gel eyeliner. However, being a university student, I don't have much excess cash to spend on high-end makeup products (sadly) so I looked for a cheaper alternative. Having looked at reviews, the Ink Pot from Sleek was the cheapest so I decided to buy it.

The Claim:

'Super long wearing and water resistant, Ink Pot is the ultimate gel eyeliner. The smear and crease proof formula stays on all day, so you can smoulder without smudging.'

 This gel eyeliner is a very good product, especially considering its price. It is creamy and easy to apply and leaves a very black line. The only issue with it is that it doesn't work as well on the waterline, I find it doesn't stay put for as long as loses some it is intensity. However, for upper lash lining it is opaque and doesn't smudge. It does last for a long time too. It does dry quicker than other eyeliners, but so long as you don't work slow this will not be an issue. For the price, it is an incredibly good offering from Sleek!

Shades: Currently, the Sleek MakeUP gel eyeliner is only avaliable in a single colour, black. I have heard that there used to be more options avaliable so maybe more will be released in the future. However, for now there is only one colour avaliable. This is a disadvantage compared to both MAC and Bobbi Brown which both offer their gel eyeliner formula in multiple shades.

Pricing: The Sleek eyeliner  is the cheapest gel eyeliner available (to my knowledge) costing only £5.49. This makes it much cheaper than its rivals and much more affordable if you are on a budget.

Availability: The Sleek Inkpot is available from Sleek MakeUP and Superdrug.

Overall: Although I still think the Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner is a slightly better alternative, for the price the Sleek MakeUP ink pot is great for anyone on a budget that still wants a gel eyeliner. Well worth the price!

Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner in 'Black Ink'

The Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner is one of the best gel eyeliners available on the market. When I first started researching gel eyeliners back in the day, this was the one everyone raved about. It definitely lived up to that hype. It has quickly become a staple item in my makeup collection, and as you can see by the photos, I definitely use it a lot.

The Claim:   

'This award-winning liner gives you the look of liquid liner with the ease & feel of a gel formula. Long-wearing, water-resistant colour glides on and let's you get it just right before it dries - then stays without a smear or crease.'

My favorite part about this eyeliner is the fact it can be used on the waterline. It is safe to use on the waterline and the fact it is water-resistant makes it ideal for this. I love to wear eyeliner on my waterline but often find I have to keep replying it or it smudges and I look like a panda. This eyeliner not only glides onto the waterline easily and maintains its black colour but it also stays put. I'd say this stays on the waterline for about 6 hours before it starts to noticeably fade, which is a lot better than most eyeliners. It also doesn't smudge and it doesn't transfer either.

Shades: The shade I used is the black shade known as 'black ink' however, unlike a lot of other brands, Bobbi Brown offer a wide selection of shades in their gel eyeliner formula. Their website offers 14 different shades ranging from a 'deep emerald green' to a 'violet purple'. I haven't tried any of the other gel eyeliner shades, however, I am lusting after the violet purple shade as I think it'll help bring out my green eyes.

Pricing: The Bobbi Brown eyeliner is the most expensive of the bunch costing £17.50. While this may seem like  a lot for an eyeliner, I feel that the price is justified. As you can see from the pictures I pretty much used the entirety of my eyeliner.  My pot lasted me for about a year and a half, and I wore this nearly everyday. Although it did begin to dry up towards the end, I still feel the price is justified due to the quality of the product and how long it lasted.

Availability: The Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner is available from Bobbi Brown and Debenhams. 

Overall: This is  a really good gel eyeliner for those willing to pay the extra money. It may cost more than some of its competitors, but it is well worth it and a small pot can last over a year. 

MAC Fluidline Gel Eyeliner in 'Blitz & Glitz'

MAC fluidlines are well known in the beauty community. They were probably the first gel eyeliner I ever heard of and were the first gel eyeliner I ever used. The shade I'm reviewing is Blitz & Glitz which is black with hints of gold, however there is a black fluidline available from MAC known as Blacktrack.

The Claim:

'Ultra-smooth, Fluidline's gel formula provides the precision of a liquid liner with a silkier, softer finish. Goes on foolproof with a brush in an easy dip-and-stroke action. Long-wearing. Smudge-proof. Lines up in a rich array of colours and finishes.'

The MAC gel eyeliner is a smooth formula and I find it easy to apply onto the eye. It is also long wearing, lasting the majority of the day. However, the MAC eyeliner is not supposed to be used on the waterline and there is not official word on whether or not it is safe to use it there. I have used it on the waterline before (because I'm a rebel like that) and found that it doesn't last particularly long at all, and often smudges. It is a good quality product for the eye and does have smooth and easy application. It also doesn't smudge and does not transfer in my experience.

As you can see, my pot of eyeliner it has completely dried out and is harder to use now. I found this dried out quicker than the Bobbi Brown alternative, but I also used it less as I mainly only wear eyeliner on my waterline, so this could have been a factor.

Shades: The MAC fluidline comes in 6 different shades on the website, ranging from dark brown to dark blue. Occasionally limited edition colours are released in MAC collections.

Pricing: The MAC offering is a bit cheaper than it's Bobbi Brown rival, coming in at £15.00.

Availability: The MAC gel eyeliner is available from MAC Cosmetics and Debenhams.

Overall: The MAC offering is certainly a contender with Bobbi Brown for the best gel eyeliner. It is slightly cheaper than its rival, however can't be used on the waterline as easily as the Bobbi Brown offering.

There are more offerings available in the market, with many drugstore/highstreet brands now offering gel eyeliners, which a couple of years ago was not the case. I have heard a lot of great things about the Maybelline offering but have yet to try it, definitely one for the wish list.

Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation Swatch and Comparison

Hey guys, this is just a quick post about the new Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation. There has been huge hype created by this foundation all over internet and I've seen many bloggers rave about it. I recently purchased it as I wanted to see if it lived up to its claims. I've only worn this once so far so I'm not ready to publish my thoughts on it yet, but so far I am really enjoying it.

I thought I'd publish this post for people like myself who often struggle with finding foundations. I'm pretty pale and often struggle when finding foundation to match my skin, which I did a post about here. Before buying the Urban Decay foundation I checked swatches to check if it would match my skin before getting matched in store. Hopefully this comparison will help some of those who were wondering if this foundation caters to pale skin tones.

Pale Foundation Swatches

For years I've been looking for the perfect foundation to match my pale skin and have found it a hard process as many foundations are sadly too dark. However, one of my main tools to search for pale foundations is using blog swatches and reviews. I have provided swatches and reviews of all my pale foundations to try and help anyone else facing this issue.

  (Note: This post used to be on my previous Blog, I have reposted it here as many found it useful)

Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation

Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation

Shade: I have this in #115 which I would actually say it  too  pale for me, and they do have paler shades in #100 (white) and #105 (almost white).

Coverage: Super SUPER high coverage! I like full coverage foundations but this is the highest coverage I’ve ever tried in a foundation. I don’t have particularly problematic skin, but this easily covers any blemishes I may have and I can see it covering most things with no problem. If you look at the swatch you can really see (especially compared to the other photos) how thick this formula is. As a result, it looks great in photos as your flaws are completely covered!

Rich Liquid Foundation on Skin

Suitability:  This can accentuate dry patches so be careful to moisturise well before using it. I don’t have oily skin, but I find this foundation lasts a good 8 or so hours on me (possibly more but I often take my makeup off as soon as I’m home to let my skin breathe). 


  

Packaging: The packaging is sleek and very lightweight, easy to carry around and it doesn’t matter if it accidentally falls, it will stay in tact.

Availability and Prices: Available from Illamasqua for £21.50 (they ship internationally too)

Overall: I think this foundation is a bit too full coverage for me as I prefer using a lighter foundation then using concealer over the areas that need it. However, the shade selection is brilliant, one of the best of high-end and low-end brands.


 

Illamasqua Skinbase Foundation

Left: Skinbase | Right: Rich Liquid

Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation

Shade: The shade swatched above is in Skin Base Number 2. They do a paler shade than this (1.0) but this is a completely white shade and would be best either for lightening foundations or theatrical makeup. However, this does mean if 2.0 is too dark for you, you can mix the two in order to achieve your exact match. I find 2.0 to be a very good shade for pale skins, in fact I would say this is a bit  too light for me which is saying something as I am one of the palest! The foundation does have a slightly pink undertone, but it doesn’t lean too pink. If this pulls too pink, shade number 3.0 is there pale shade with yellow undertones.

Coverage:  The Skinbase foundation is marketed as being based on the Asian BB Creams, however I find most BB creams to have quite sheer coverage, but I would say this has medium coverage and its buildable.

Suitability:  Unfortunately, like RL, this can cling to dry patches if you haven’t moisturised properly but as long as you have moisturised properly this shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

Packaging: I quite like the packaging of this, it is very lightweight which means it is ideal to carry around with you. Like Rich Liquid, it has a squeeze tube applicator which personally I like most as I find it easiest to control the amount of product that comes out and it is also hygienic. You can also clearly see the shade of the foundation.

Availability and Prices: Available from Illamasqua Illamasqua for £25.00 (they ship internationally too)

Overall: I do like this foundation as it does come in pale shades and gives a good finish, however I need to make sure I moisturise well in order to avoid it accentuating my (very) dry skin.

L’oreal Paris Infallible Make-up Lasting Perfection Foundation

L'oreal Infallible Foundation

Shade: For me, this is the best shade for my skintone out of all the foundations featured. The shade pictured here is the lightest shade (15 –Porcelain) and I find it to have quite neutral undertones. This is possibly the lightest shade I’ve found in a high-street/drug-store foundation (where ivory often = dark orange).

Coverage: I’d say the coverage on this is medium, I found it evens out the skintone and partially covers blemishes and dark circles, but I would say you’d most likely use a concealer on top of this.

Left to Right: L'oreal | Skin Base | Rich Liquid

Suitability: Speaking as someone who has the driest skin on the planet, this doesn’t accentuate my dry patches at all (provided I’ve moisturised of course). I don’t have oily skin so can’t comment on that, but I do find this wears long on me. The bottle claims it lasts for 16 hours, personally I’ve never worn foundation for that long but I find this lasts an average time for a foundation at around 8 hours on me.

Note: This does have a slight scent, personally I find it quite a nice scent, but if you dislike scents in your foundation this is something to keep in mind.

Packaging:  The bottle is sturdy and the lid screws on fine so there’s no need to worry about it falling off. However, as the cap is see through it can look dirty after a while.

Availability and Prices: Available for £12.29 from  Boots  and Superdrug

Overall: I really like this foundation, it’s the best match for my skintone and at its price I really can’t complain!

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick 

Shade: I have this in the lightest shade ’00 – Alabaster’. I found this a good match for my skin, I’d say it’s darker than both the Illamasqua foundations but lighter than the Bourjois and Maybelline foundations.

Coverage: This is a cream foundation so it does have higher coverage than a lot of liquid foundations. I’ve seen people using this as a concealer before due to its creamy texture and high coverage. It isn’t as high as the Illamasqua RL but it is certainly medium to full coverage and very buildable.

Suitability: When I first got this (this is my second tube) I was in love with this foundation, however lately it doesn’t suit my skin as much and I can’t figure out why. My skin has gotten particularly dry recently and this doesn’t glide on like it used to. However, I think unless you skin is unbelievably dry like mine, this foundation will be great for you. I also find this doesn’t last as long as other foundations (around 6 hours) but the packaging means it is easy to carry it around with you for touch ups. It is very easy to blend and easy to apply (you can use it directly from the stick).

Packaging: This is my favorite packaging from all the foundations in this review! I absolutely love the sleek black design with the white lettering, it feels nice to hold and easily fits into a makeup bag. I find it looks very luxurious on my dressing table and the packaging means the outside of the product doesn’t look used or messy.

Bobbi Brown | L'oreal |Skin Base | RL

Availability and Prices: Priced at £28.00 it is available from Bobbi Brown, House of Fraser and Debenhams.

Overall: I really like this foundation (it is the only foundation I’ve ever repurchased), I’ve practically run out of this second tube as well so I clearly really liked it, it has good coverage and I love the packaging

Revlon ColourStay Foundation

Shade: I have this in the lightest shade 110 – Ivory. It is a tad too dark on me but can be blended in to work.  It is also a slightly pink tone.

Coverage: This is high coverage, it’s definitely buildable.

Suitability: I have this in ‘combination/oily skin’ even though I have dry skin. This is because I got this when it first came out and back then my skin was a lot less dry and I did have an oily t-zone. They do have a dry skin one which I haven’t tried unfortunately.  I like the fact they have a foundation formula for different skin types though, as it means you can select the one which will suit you best. This does have good lasting power though and I find can last 8-10 hours.

Swatch

Note: This has a pretty strong chemical smell to it, I don’t mind this, but it’s something to note if you do.

Packaging: This packaging is quite annoying, from the outside it looks sleek and it doesn’t look messy, however it doesn’t have a pump, you simply pour the foundation from the bottle. This can be annoying as you usually end up with too much foundation which is wasted product.

Availability and Prices: Priced at £12.49 and available from Boots

Overall: I like this foundation, it is a touch too dark but I can work with it (if you are lighter than me though you might want to swatch it in store to check). 

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum

Shade: I have this in the lightest shade, 51 – Light Vanilla/Vanille Clair. Unfortunately this is a bit too dark to make it work, sometimes I add bronzer and really blend it in, but realistically it isn’t a good match L This foundation is yellow toned (most high-street foundations are pink toned) so this is good news is you have yellow undertones to your skin.

Bourjois | Revlon

Coverage: This is medium coverage, it will cover redness but I do find I often need to use concealer for blemishes.

Suitability: I LOVE the formulation of this foundation. It glides over my skin and gives me good coverage. My skin doesn’t look dry and it doesn’t make me look shiny/greasy either. I find it also lasts a good time too. It’s a gel foundation which personally I love, I find it very easy to blend also. 

Note: It has a slight smell but this doesn’t stay.

Packaging: Nice packaging, it has a pump dispenser and is lightweight.

Availability and Prices: £10.99 from Superdrug and Boots

Overall: If this foundation was a shade or half a shade lighter this would probably be holy grail
foundation, sadly it is not meant to be L If this foundation shade is right for you thought, I strongly recommend it. 

Maybelline Instant Age-Rewind The Eraser Perfect & Cover Foundation

Shade: I have this in the lightest shade 010 – Ivory, it’s too dark for me

Coverage: I haven’t used this much due to the fact it’s too dark, but when I have I’ve found it is quite light coverage, you can build this up to a slightly heavier coverage, but it won’t cover any major skin problems.

Maybelline | Bourjois | Revlon

Suitability: When I applied this it didn’t seem to accentuate any dry patches, and it didn’t make me look shiny either which was good. However, as I haven’t worn this much due to the shade I can’t 100% say

. 

Packaging: Personally, I dislike when products include applicators. I like to be able to try a variety of ways to apply a foundation and see which works best, rather than being given one option. Unfortunately this comes with a sponge applicator to apply it. You twist the foundation and then directly apply it onto your face with the sponge. I dislike this as I find it unhygienic. The sponge applicator isn’t as bad as I thought it would be though and I can see it being great for some people.

Avaliability and Prices: £9.99 from Boots and Superdrug

Overall: This foundation is a bit too dark for me to make it work, I think if your skin is slightly darker than mine and you want a light coverage this could be the foundation for you. It depends on your feelings on the sponge tip applicator, personally I dislike this, but for others this could be a huge positive.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

Shade: I can’t do a proper review for this as, as you can see by the photos, it is just much too dark for my skin. Believe it or not, this is the lightest shade, 100 – Ivory.

Availability and Prices: £8.99 from Boots and Superdrug

Rich Liquid | Skin Base | L'oreal | Bobb Brown | Rimmel | Maybelline | Bourjois | Revlon

Bare Minerals Original Foundation

Shade: I have this in two shades, ‘Fairly Light’ and ‘Light’, with the first being the lighter of the two. Sadly these are both two dark for me. However, on checking out the bare mineral range, it seems they have added another option since I got these (I’ve had these a year or two) in ‘Fair’. I haven’t tried this but this may be perfect for pale skin tones.

Coverage: This is a powder foundation so I wasn’t expecting much, but it does give quite good coverage, it doesn’t match up to the coverage of some liquid foundations though and personally I like full coverage. This does look very natural though, and it is perfect for a ‘no makeup’ makeup look.

Light | Fairly Light

Suitability: I have dry skin, and so putting powder foundation on my skin seems like a recipe for disaster, however provided I’ve moisturised well this doesn’t actually accentuate my dry patches too badly.

Packaging: The packaging is small and easy to carry around, however be careful when opening as the product is loose powder meaning it can spill if you aren’t careful.

Availability and Prices: £24.00 from Bare Minerals and Debenhams 

Overall: The foundation is too dark for me and isn’t the coverage I’d like, but as a powder foundation it is a good product. If you are looking for a powder foundation this would be good to try.

Cover-girl Clean Makeup

Shade: This is a good shade for pale skin, I have this in 'Classic Ivory', I’d say its similar in colour to the Revlon Colourstay.

Coverage: This is medium coverage, but it can be buildable

Suitability: This is an old foundation so I haven’t used it when my skin’s been really dry, however I did find it lasts all day (it has oil control so that may help lasting power for those with oily skin) and didn’t accentuate any dry areas.

Packaging: It doesn’t have a pump which I dislike as it means you have to pour out the foundation which can often lead to too much product being dispense and product being wasted.

Swatch

Availability and Prices: This is not readily available in the UK but I have seen it on sites such as ebay.co.uk and amazon.co.uk for under £5

Overall: I wasn’t sure whether to include this as it is an old foundation and I’m not sure whether you can still get it anymore, but I thought it would be useful for reference.

ChitChat Foundation

Shade: This is quite pinky, so if you are yellow toned this might not suit you, it is a nice pale shade though.

Coverage: Very light coverage, not really buildable.

Packaging: Very lightweight, easy to put in a bag and carry with you.

Suitability: This is a very very old foundation from when I first started wearing makeup (over 5 years ago) but I don’t remember it being too drying or oily. It is very cheap though so don't expect it to be a 'WOW' foundation, it gives a bit coverage but is pretty sheer.

Covergirl | ChitChat

Avaliability and Prices: This is an old foundation but it is available in a new foundation in most major Poundland Stores (yes Poundland!) for £1.

Overall: I wasn’t going to include this because it is so old, but as it is a pale shade and it very very cheap I thought I’d put it in, if you really want a budget foundation for pale skin.

I hope this helped if you are pale skinned like me and looking for foundations to suit your skin tone as I realise there are a lack of shades available. I’m looking to try new pale foundations, and have currently been looking into the Nars Sheer Glow in Siberia and the Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation in Soft Ivory, if anybody pale has these foundations would you recommend these as colour matches?
