Make-Up Collection {Part 2 ~ Eye Products}

Following from Part 1 of my make-up collection, this post will show you the biggest part of my make-up collection... eye products.  I have accumulated quite a good number of products over the past years especially eyeshadows but I still enjoy buying any particular colours that I don't have, in fact I just ordered some new products from e.l.f. cosmetics :)

Eye products happen to be my favourite part of my entire make-up collection so much so that I have a palette that I have never used simply because the colours in it are so bright and beautiful that it makes me happy just by looking at it; and it looks too perfect to be used!

Let me start by showing you eye pencils, cream/cliquid eyeliners and mascaras first and then move on to the eyeshadows!  I love how you can play with different eyeliners to emphasize your eyes and create different looks accordingly so it's no wonder that I have quite a bunch :) I will also be sharing with you the different pairs of falsies I own as well as my preferred lash glue :)  I store my eye products in the second row of my cabinet (lashes and liners in the small drawer, eyeshadows in the wicker basket; I keep my most reached for on the cabinet itself).

I'll leave you to the photos now and I will also provide links to products that I have already reviewed and if you want me to review any of the non-reviewed ones, just let me know in the comments section :) Enjoy!

Review: e.l.f. Limited Edition Christmas Get the Look Set Day to Night

Hi cupcakes! I'm back with another e.l.f. review!

In the beginning of December/late November, I received this set from e.l.f. cosmetics.  I spent ages going ooh and how cute around the house before I oohed and awed even more on swatching the eyeshadows and trying  out the mascara, pencil and eyeliner :D  Here are some pictures to show you what I am talking about:


I really like the packaging on all these Christmas Sets with the snowflake motifs but due to lack of space, I had thrown it away :(  The set features two eyeshadow trios (Day - purples + gold & Night - black, green and frosty white), A Brightening Eyeliner in Black, Lengthening and Defining Mascara in Black and a Liquid Eyeliner in Black as well as two sponge applicators which are not shown as I felt they were too coarse to use on my eyes and threw them away altogether.

The Eyeshadows

The eyeshadows are really pigmented but not as sparkly as they look in the pans, except for the black and white shades which are really sparkly indeed!  With regards texture, they are a bit on the powdery side so I never risk not using a very good primer underneath these eyeshadows (I use an elf eyelid primer and Persimmon All Over Colour Stick Combo/cream eyeshadow to provide a good sticky base).  When a primer is used, these really last a long time without smudging or fading away.  However, even though the set is named Day to Night, I find the colours a bit too strong for day-wear; but maybe that's just me!  On a side note, the white shade arrived broken and its powder was all over the inside of the eyeshadow box.  I can't complain though as it was for sent to me for free! 



The Mascara, Liquid Eyeliner and Brightening Eye Pencil

As I mentioned before, the set also contains a Lengthening and Defining mascara, liquid eyeliner and a pencil eyeliner all of which are black.  I really like the intensity of the black on these three and the mascara is my favourite one! It gives my lashes some more length and separates them for a fanned-out effect without clumping and it lasts all day!  The liquid eyeliner lasts until I take it off but the pencil fades away after a couple of hours just like most other pencils.  Overall I am really happy with all this though :) I am a bit disappointed because there is no other mascara named the same as this one in the set and I really really like it.
