My Favourite Eyeliners.

I've never really been a big user of eyeliner. People never think I'm wearing make-up when in reality there is rarely a day that I don't have any on and I've never been able to work out why people can't see it. Over the past couple of months, I've realised that eyeliner is what makes it, along with lipstick, they're a bit hard to miss.

Earlier this year, I took on the mission to try and perfect winged eyeliner. I tried a few liquid eyeliners that seemed to make it almost impossible until I tried the Collection 2000 Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner after a friend's recommendation. It literally makes putting eyeliner on like drawing on your face, it's so easy to use and is only £2.99. My only problem with it, is that it does tend to smudge a little after a couple of hours which you don't really expect with the 24 hour claim.

I tend to move from beauty products quite quickly, I don't repurchase products very often. There is one exception though. The Miss Sporty eye pencil in 001 magic has been a part of my collection since I was 14. It's only £1.99, is a rich black perfect for the waterline and it lasts pretty much all day.

Welcome!

Let me just warn you now. I have no money and I don't really know what I'm doing.

I like make-up and skin care and nail varnish and hair products and all that jazz. I like them a lot. I am constantly boring my friends and  family with talk of how amazing the new cleanser I've just bought is or raving about a certain waterproof mascara so I think I need somewhere else to put my thoughts. 

I already write a blog about preparing to start university (theroadtouniversity.blogspot.com) but I'm excited to start this as it will be a bit different and I'll have to end that one in September when I'm no longer on the road to University and I (fingers crossed) become a fresher. 

I'm not sure if anyone will be interested in reading this but I'm going to enjoy writing it anyway and if there is anyone out there then do feel free to leave any requests or recommendations for beauty products or blog posts. I think I'm going to start with a few posts about my favourite beauty products to use, all of which are from drugstore/highstreet shops and then I'll see where I go from there.

Thank You for reading and hopefully there'll be a completely unqualified beauty opinion coming to you soon! :)
