AMAZING FIND!

Hello my Vixxens. Hope you are having a glorious weekend. Mine always goes by too fast. I found an amazing website that I will be ordering from today!!!

It is called All Cosmetics Wholesale! Click HERE to visit! It has all brand name cosmetics at amazing prices!! MAC, URBAN DECAY, MAYBELLINE..you name it I saw it! In the MAC section under pigments you can just get samples of their pigments for $3.99. I'm not one of those people that NEED the big thing of eyeshadow. I have so many, it's more likely it'll get wasted. I love when I find samples!

I also found the Sugarpill Cold Heart palette that they recently discontinued!!
 For that click HERE!

After I order, I shall do a review on the products I received and how the service/shipping was! If you order before me! Leave a comment for some feedback!!


Post later! xoxo

Maybelline Lasting Drama 24H Gel Eyeliner


During the Irish Bloggers Meet Up a few weeks ago, I bought the new Maybelline Gel Liner on the recommendation of Katie. Having been a major fan of the Bobbi Brown gel liners, I was gutted to find that all of mine were drying up within a few months. My quest for a new, cheaper gel liner began a few months ago and I think I've found the one I've been looking for.

I purchased this in Boots for 8euro/£5.99 and for the price its a brilliant product. The liner is super creamy and glides onto the eye with ease. As much as I love my liquid liner, this is definitely easier to apply. Most importantly, it stays put all day. With other gel liners I've tried, touch-ups were necessary but I don't have to worry with this one. Slick it on and your set to go.

Whats even better is that it comes with a full-size liner brush, which is sturdy and works brilliantly with the product to create a perfect thin or thick line, with or without a flick. The pot itself is a sleek glass one and the cap turns to perfectly lock the product in, removing the chance of it drying out. This high-street liner has blown my Bobbi Brown ones out of the water. And at such a low price, you can't really go wrong!

Maybelline Full 'n Soft vs Eyeko Mascara



Eyeko Big Eyes has been a favourite mascara for a good while now. When I got Maybelline's Full 'n Soft Waterproof Mascara from winning Kellie's giveaway I decided to see if it could take my favourite's place.



L-R (Maybelline Full 'n Soft, Eyeko Big Eyes Mascara



While I'm a fan of both, there's still a favourite in my mind. I would wear them each for different purposes.

What they say: Maybelline's Full and Soft Waterproof Mascara This mascara builds full, soft thick lashes without the brittle feel.
  • Prevents loss of lashes with patented Quick Dissolve System that allows easy mascara removal
  • No clumps, no globs
  • Contact lens safe and hypoallergenic
  • Washable; also available in waterproof formula
What they say: Eyeko Big Eyes Mascara

Long & luscious lashes in 1 easy squeeze.

Transforms lashes in the twinkle of an eye! Lash friendly formual combining natural oils and silicones with added Panthenol (Vitamin B).
Designed to prevent dryness, premature breakage and to promote lash growth. The brush has widely dispersed bristles for evenly coated perfectly separated long lashes.



L-R Eyeko Big Eyes (see how full they look?), Maybelline Full 'n Soft

What I say:

I would consider Maybelline Full 'n Soft to be the more natural of the two, the classic daytime look; it feels like "lashes" while Eyeko, although not hard, buy if applied too thickly can have that "spindle-effect". You can't apply more than one coat of Eyeko, as your lashes become slightly brittle.

Maybelline Full 'n Soft has a larger brush and therefore I find it harder to coat the inner smaller lashes, whereas the Eyeko mascara is perfect at this. I prefer smaller wands as I feel I have more control and can get into those hard-to-reach places. DiorShow was a nightmare! One swipe and you're ready to go! With the Maybelline mascara you need to build up the coats to achieve anything near what you get with Eyeko.

(its a nice wand that doesn't get clumpy!)



Eyeko Big Eyes
(looks a bit like a screwdriver but it somehow works!)

Maybelline doesn't have the va-voom factor that Eyeko does at all. Its a very sedate mascara, while Eyeko is probably more of a night-time one.

Feck it, wear it during the day too, you've nothing to lose! Eyeko wins!
