Make-up Storage solutions!

Clear Storage holders - T K Max £7.99 and £3.99
White Pot - Ikea

Hello :-)

Recently I got a new dressing table for my room which is being completely re-decorated and  I want it to look as pretty as possible - therefore I like to have my nicest make up bits on display!

 Yesterday in T K Max I found 2 clear storage holders, one with lots of different spaces to put different things in and one specifically for holding lipsticks. They look so nice and they are really useful too. I have used the larger one to store foundation, perfumes, mascara, rings, eyeliner, etc, and it has space for loads more things including lipsticks or mini nail varnishes,  without taking up too much space on my dressing table. The lipstick holder is also really cute and holds up to 9 lipsticks.

Another idea is this little White Ikea pot which seems to be really popular amongst bloggers, probably it is the perfect size to store your make up brushes and it is also really pretty and decorative. I can't remember how much it cost but it was definitely under a fiver!

Rimmel London Palette 024 Pinkadilly Circus Review

 Today In boots I picked up the Rimmel London Pinkadilly Circus Palette for £6.99 which has 5 colours which are all shimmer, which I liked the look of.

There is a dark brown (1), 2 highlight colours ( 3 & 4 ), a deep pink (5) and a lighter pink (2)! They aren't very pigmented but I think a primer would help bring the colours out. This palette is probably what you would expect from a drug store brand make up. They are good if you are on a budget but I think they don't compare to higher brand eye shadows so spending out more on brands like MAC or Urban Decay is much better value for money in the long run!

Despite this I think the colours are really pretty and I also really like the packaging, although it comes with a little sponge applicator that I wouldn't personally use to apply eye shadow.

Over all this palette is ok - but I think I would rather put £7 towards a higher brand eyeshadow :-)

Ganier Micellar Cleansing Water: Worth the hype?

Well, yes! Here are 5 reasons why I believe that the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water is worth the hype...

1) It removes make-up with ease - even water proof make up.

2) Good for sensitive skin - The water-like formula is so gentle and brilliant for sensitive skin. It really seems like it is just water.

3) Leaves skin feeling soft, refreshed and clean.

4) Pretty packaging - I really love the packaging of this and the cute, pink bottle lid.

5) Good value for money - I got this for £3.99 in boots, although it is usually £4.99. I think this is amazing value for money as the product actually works and 400ml is going to last a long time.

YSL Babydoll Eyeliner Review

£25 - YSL Babydoll Eyeliner

Recently I got a bonus points deal with Debenhams as I spent over a certain amount of £ at YSL, which meant that I had £15 to spend on my beauty card. I have been looking for the perfect eyeliner for a while now, and after seeing this one online and reading the reviews, I thought that I had to try it out. I wouldn't usually spend more that £10 on an eye-liner, but as I had a spare £15 on my beauty card I took the opportunity to invest in this cute little £25 liquid eye liner by Yves Saint Laurent.

At first when this arrived in the post I was a little confused as the packaging was different to the packaging pictured online - but everything else does seem the same as the product shown Debenhams website. Although I have to say - I do really this packaging. It is light, small and would be very easy to take around with you.

As for the product itself, with the first use I found it much more difficult to create a thin line and the perfect flick, than my humble £6 Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner pen. Alas, on the second attempt, I did manage to create a thin line with a 'cat eye' flick, which I quite liked. I think this will become much easier to use with practise, as I am usually used to using a pen eyeliner - which I think does give slightly more control.

As you can see from the swatch, It is very black and pigmented which is great, and it also dries really fast- another bonus!
What I was really looking for, was an eyeliner which didn't dry out after a few weeks (like my Maybelline one does) and one that will last longer throughout the day. I have had this less than a week, so I haven't put this to the test yet - but from other reviews hopefully this product will last longer than a few weeks! Also - It did last throughout the day. Yippee.

Overall, I do really like this product but I defiantly wouldn't pay £25 for it, as I think the Maybelline Master Precise pen for around just £6 is better value for money!

Has anyone found their holy grail eye liner yet!? Let me know in the comments below!
