Valentines, Spring Fashion And Uni Update

Once again uni work load has gotten the better of me and blogging has been seriously lacking. I made a  New Years resolution that this time round I will throughly research and plan essays and projects and not leave them to last minute, but get cracking as soon as they are set. So far i'm doing alright. But that does mean that my social life has been swapped with staying in writing essays and articles whilst watching the Lost box set and stuffing with my face with snacks (currently loving ham, coleslaw and crackers.)

It was also valentines not that long ago and I just couldn't not mention it as my boyfriend bought me a Alexander McQueen coin purse with a little razor blade on the front of it. Along with pink lilies that were just gorgeous.

I am currently loving all the fashion magazines spring issues, the prettiest fashion season by far. Grazia magazine has really come up trumps with their bonus bumper issue. Glamours issue is also lovely and worth checking out.

Mac- Odd Couple Eyeshadow

I absolutely love Mac eyeshadows, and the shade Odd Couple is no exception. I bought it from Bicester Village at the Make-up Company outlet for under ten pounds! I really like the two shades, they look lovely on their own and together.

My favourite is the metallic shade which is a mixture taupe, bronze, gold and lilic. The purple is also nice and striking, and has a very slight shimmer to it.

My favourite thing about Macs Odd Couple is the texture and how it lasts for a long time. The colours aren't as intense as I thought it would be but still applies well.

Collection- Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner

As some of you may know I am currently interning at Reveal Magazine. Interning may involve working for free but the experience and perks make it worth while. One of the perks is attending Pr events, I went to a Collection one (previously known as Collection 2000) to look at there new products and walked away with a generous goody bag. These gel liners were by the far the best stand out product in my opinion.

Retailing at £4.99 makes it a lot cheaper then other gel liners and it comes in a little glass pot with a brush. There are four colours to chose from; Black, Brown, Gold and Teal. They are very matt with no shimmer or glitter. It has a lovely creamy texture so it glides on easily.

Collection gel eyeliner promises long lasting, and it really is! Doesn't budge all day, it's like it's tattooed on! The colours are very intense and show up really well, the colour doesn't fade throughout the day. Since the liner is long lasting means it works on my water line and is still stays put and is vibrant.

The downside is there is only these four colours, they really should release more I would love one in Silver or Navy. Also the brush is quite small, but hey what do you expect for £4.99.

These are now my new favourite eye liners and I would recommend them without a doubt!
