Sight For Sore Eyes



My major obsession with Liz Earle Skincare was obviously further compounded when the lovely Andrea offered to send me the Eyebright Soothing Lotion to test out; I jumped at the chance. Liz Earle is a brand that suits my skin so perfectly that the chance to try out new products I normally wouldn't pick out is really lovely. Their products are gentle on the skin and are the possibly one of the only brands where almost all the products I've tried have suited me. As always with LE shipping, the bottle arrived in beautiful packaging, wrapped in lovely tissue and contained the Eyebright lotion, the Summer guide, product guide and price list. 

From the day I received this eye lotion, I have been using it everyday. It is marketed as a product that 'cleanses and revitalises the eye area'. Containing witch hazel, organic aloe vera and cornflower, it leaves the skin feeling refreshed and awake. Every morning I sweep this quickly across my eyes to wake them up and get them ready for any make up. In the evening, you can gently soak two cotton pads and place them over the eyes for five or ten minutes. It not only refreshes and cools the eye, but removes any eye make up that may still be lingering after cleansing. Mascara, be gone! For an extra treat, if you leave Eyebright in the fridge, it works really well to keep your eyes in tip-tip condition, having a lovely cooling effect. Since beginning my make up course two weeks ago, make up has been applied and removed from my face and eyes about three times a day. Painful. But since using this lotion everyday, they aren't as irritated as they were. 

The 150ml bottle costs £9.70/11.25euro and lasts ages. Have you tried this product and what did you think?

MAC Glitter

So as I mentioned in my other post, I really don't care about real packaging! I love just having the product. Now I must mention, this has gotten me in trouble on Ebay when the MAC Hello Kitty collection came out, I ended up buying some fake lip gloss. Woops!

But I found a seller (unforgettableitems) that sells MAC Glitter pigments by the single product or you can request 1/4th of each color. I paid around $14.00 for all 13 glitter colors! Plus, even if they aren't true MAC, they are still fun!!!!

Here is his photo for his listing

Here is what I received
Top Row: Neon 60's, Crystalled Lime, Red*
2nd Row: Gun Metal, Royal Blue, Chartruse, Turquoise, Copper
3rd Row: Light Green, Crystalled Orange, Silver*, Jam Session, Light Blue
(*Discontinued chunky glitters)

Complete list of MAC Glitters and Pigments HERE!

I normally use MAC's Fix + to adhere the glitters to my eyes. I now have like every color of the rainbow to make just about any look. ha ha

Hope you enjoyed! xo xo

Inspiration


I've said a few times that I love the cut crease eyeshadow look. It wasn't until I got the Louise Young LY38 that I was able to do it properly, none of the brushes I had were precise enough. The face of the day I do are usually daytime looks and I never really show night makeup so I thought I'd do this (also procrastinating uni work!)

Although I won't be wearing this tonight, I will definitely be wearing it over the holidays!

Face:
YSL Teint Resist
MAC Harmony Blush (as contour)
MAC Melba Blush

Eyes:
Sleek Storm Palette pale matte brown for eyebrows
MAC Brule e/s (all over)
Sleek Storm palette (matte brown and black)
Eyeko Graffiti Liner in Black
MUFE Liners in 10L and 16 (under eye)
Eyeko Big Eyes Mascara

Lips:
MAC Creme D'Nude l/s
MAC Florabundance l/g




 

 I then decided to see what the look would be like with a bright lipstick, and I think it works. I used Eyeko Liptastik in Loud Mouth.


This look might be familiar to you, I used Pixiwoo's video for inspiration. See it here

Happy Thursday!
