REVIEW - Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner - Black Ink

Hullo Lovely Ladies!

Back when I first started blogging in March I made a collection post about my Gel Eyeliners, featuring Bobbi Browns Black Ink. 

There are a few reasons why I want to talk about it again today, one of them being that It's such a great product it needs to be spoken about more often and also that the first time I talked about it was only a collection post where it was mentioned briefly.

 I bought a Bobbi Brown set from QVC around Halloween last year, In it I received two Long Wear Gel Eyeliners, a mascara and a Ultra Fine Eye Liner brush. 

One of the Long Wear Eyeliners was Black Ink, It's an extremely pigmented black and goes on lovely and smooth. 

The best thing about it? It lasts forever!

Even though I have dry skin on my face, my eye lids can be quite oily so most of the time my eye products would last me a few hours at best but this can last at least 24hrs.

 GASP! I know...I'm a terrible person, sometimes I go to bed forgetting to take my make up off!! 

Usually this is because I'm either too tired or too drunk to remember hehehe...come one....we've all done it :-) 

So here is a thick and thin swatch of Black Ink, It's quite a dark shade so I usually only wear it on a night out. I used up a lot on Halloween as I drew a web and some spiders on my face with this because I knew it would last for ages.

Recently a friend and I where going to a party and she asked me to do her eyeliner for her, I tried using her Maybeline Gel Eyeliner and couldn't believe how hard it was to use, it went on far too wet for me , it smudged everywhere and didn't last nearly s long as I thought.  

So I think that means Bobbi Brown has officially ruined me for any other gel eyeliner, I have never had to keep my eyes closed to wait for it to dry or smudged it so badly I had to start all over again. 

If asked I would say this is worth every penny it costs. 

I bought my set from here and it set me back £33.50 plus P+P but all the products separately would have cost me much more. 

Hope you have all had a great day, it's been raining non stop here but I guess that's what Wales is known for :-)

Eye Looks : Pink: Easy Day time to Night time :-)

Hullo Everyone,

This is my first makeup look that I have put up on my blog so im a tad nervous!

 I'm not in anyway a professional :) I just love to play around with make up!

I wanted to start with something simple so here I have done a day - night look using pink eyeshadows. I find it very hard to wear pink eyeshadow, its not a colour I gravitate towards sadly but I think it looks quite good in this look. It's deffinetly one I will be recreating again.

Day Time Look 

I used the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette.

On the lid I applied Tainted and then in the crease I added some of Junkshow.

Then I applied some Bobbi Brown long wear gel eyeliner in Espresso Ink using my Bobbi Brown Ultra Fine Eyeliner brush.

Then I used my Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara in Black.

           Night Time Look

Blackout From the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette.

So to make this into a bit more of a night time look I added some of Blackout into the outer corner.

I then blended the colour and added some more of my eyeliner to get a thicker line.

I like both looks, I find that the daytime look would be great to go somewhere casual like out with friends shopping or to the cinema and I would definitely wear the night time look for a night down the pub :-)

Hope you like the look!

Thanks,

My Gel Eyeliner Collection (Bobbi Brown, MAC)

Hello!

I love to use Gel Eyeliners, they can be so easy to use once you have a great brush. My favorite brush to use so far is the Bobbi Brown Ultra Fine Liner brush.

First is Black Ink by Bobbi Brown, Its a strong, pure black that I like to use on a night out, It's a bit too much for me for every day wear. I used up most of i't around halloween time when I was a Sexy Witch.

*Kissy Face, Mwah Mwah *

The lipstick is Violetta from MAC

This is Espresso Ink by Bobbi Brown and it's more subtle than Black Ink and to me it is the perfect day time liner.

Next is Waveline from MAC and its a lovely colour but not so pigmented so I have to reapply it a good amount of times to get the colour I want.

Last but not least is Rich Ground a beautiful gold colour from MAC. It's smoth to go on and very pigmented.

I love them all in their own way, I find the Bobbi Brown Gel eyeliners last longer but the MAC Fluidlines come in the most amazing range of colours. So there they are :) Sorry for the chipped nails by the way, I went to a house party last night with lovely nails and came back with them looking like that. FAIL!
