I am expanding my eyeliner collection to include coloured liquid and pencil liners.  I love this colour, Very Burgundy, it is very pigmented and smooth to apply, it smudges easily as well.  It is expensive at $35 AUD the same price as the Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow. I have worn this eyeliner in summer and in an aerobics class which was very humid as there were so  many people in the class the air-con struggled.

There is lots of colours to choose from I basically want them all. The pencil is a retractable pen.  Now this brand is supposed to be cruelty free now and has the cruelty free bunny stamped on the website but in the ingredients below at the bottom there is a statement saying that Carmine may be present as a colourant.  Carmine is a red pigment which comes from a type of beetle species called a Cochineal which is a scale insect that lives in Mexico on cactus plants and is considered not a vegan free product and cruelty free ingredient.  Carmine is frequently found in red dyed products such as lollies.

I definitely recommend this product but if you are concerned about carmine you may want to find another product due to the vague information about whether carmine is part of this product or if it is not.  The ingredients list below contain hyperlinks so you can read about any ingredient in this eyeliner.  None of the links are affiliated with myself.

This liner is a liquid pot liner with a very thin brush strands.  It is matte, rich black that even if you are or aren't experienced in using liquid liners, it will be very easy to use.  There is no smell.

You can make whatever line look you want from the thinnest to the thickest.



It is perfect for me and my needs.  In Australia it is $24.95 AUD.

Not much to say except I think it is perfect and definitely recommend it!

This is my second liquid eyeliner pen from Eyeko, but I haven't written my review on it yet because I wanted to try another liner from the brand that I had read about and others mind you.

Beauty Guru

This liner is great! It does none of the shitty stuff like feathering, smudging, transferring, being shiny *unless you like shiny*, its most definitely matte in texture, moderately priced i.e. not drugstore but not high end, but just right!

It also contains sodium hyaluronate to ensure a smooth application.

You can easily draw a smaller wing, no wing, a thick wing what ever you choose!

It is a felt tip not a brush and does not have a fragrance.

Ten out of ten! Holy grail status!

Storytime

I have been eyeing off the larger palette of the Smashbox Photo Matte Eyes at Myer's Mecca Maxima (Australia's Sephora), but there is a mini available of 8 shades from the palette.  So in the interest of saving money just incase the product is inferior because in AUD it is $80 approximately whilst the mini is $35.

Beauty Guru

You get eight shades from the original large palette and basically this is a matte eye shadows lovers dream.   I have not loved an eye-shadow palette as much as I love this mini!

• Soft and easy to use
• Pigmented
• Long lasting
• Next to no kick up of product
• Multi Use 
• Perfect! 

These shadows can be used in your eyebrows and also as eye liners.  There is on the reverse side of the mini palette a dot system which will indicate to you on the legend provided which shades are recommended for eyebrow and liner use.  Of course you can use whatever you wish, these are just best suggestions for product use.

I have used them as shadows and eyebrow colour mixed with my Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel 002.
