Soap & Glory - Supercat Eyeliner Pen

I finally got my hands on Soap & Glory's Supercat black eyeliner pen, after hearing a few people rave about it. Firstly, I do love the packaging, I think that's what everyone seems to remember S&G for. I wear black eyeliner every single day, and I've recently been converted to gel liner, but sometimes I need a quicker resort when I'm in a rush (nearly every day..) I've never found my perfect eyeliner pen yet, there's always something that's wrong with it! So when I tried this, I was in love. The nib is thick, but not overly thick - you can produce thin lines aswell as big flicks, whatever you want. It is extremely black like it states on the box, and it stays black. It really is very easy to use. Perfect right? NO!

I have a problem with my eyes watering quite often, and I yawn A LOT. Again, causing my eyes to literally pour. This eyeliner does not handle this well. Ending up with big black smears under my eyes, and caught up on my eyelid and crease is not sexy. Using a primer and Fix+, nothing seemed to hold it without it smearing, after half the day, I had black hood lines on my eyes. I know pandas are totally cute, but I really don't want to resemble one thank you very much! I keep wanting to love this, but for me, any eyeliner that smears that badly is a big thumbs down. I spend so much time on my eyes, and always have more emphasis on them, that to have black and smeary eyes is a waste of time and money, and really doesn't help my attempts to look half attractive! (siiiigh)

Unfortunately, it looks like the quest for the perfect eyeliner pen is still on :(

Can anybody recommend any? I've just ordered Bobbi Browns black gel liner from BuyaPowa, and I think I'll stick with gel liner for the moment! 

Have you tried Soap & Glory's sidestep into cosmetics? What do you think? So far I'm disappointed!

LOOK Beauty - Long-Last Liner

I'm happy to share with you one of my new make-up staples - LOOK Beauty's Long-Last Liner. I actually stupidly forgot to put it in the post of my daily make-up, don't know how I could forget it! I got this a few weeks ago, and I use it every single day. Basically, it's a liner you use along your waterline to help brighten your eyes. Something most girls learn in their teenage years to do with white eyeliner. But I find this is too much, and this is the liner I have been looking for for so long! Great for in a rush and even if you're not even wearing make-up it will make you look more awake straight away.

It's pretty much the same as MACs Chromagraphic pencil in NC15/NW20 which is discontinued. Except it's readily available and so so much cheaper! £6! SIX POUNDS! Sorry, but I feel like I've found my long lost sister or something. I finally have something to make my eyes look much bigger and brighter, and hide the awful redness! Even makes my eyes look whiter, all from one small product and one small line. Uh-maaazing. Think of it as a concealer for your eyes whoooo. Apart from all the UNDER-eye concealers you can buy..Ahem...

The liner comes with a smudge brush at the end, but I don't feel the need to use it, other people might want to, for using in the corner of your eye I guess? But this does come on the other liners available. This doesn't really have a shade name unlike the others, it just says 'Eye Brightener' and 'Shade 6' on the label. I find that this is really creamy and pigmented, it doesn't tug at my waterline, or get stuck in my lashes. It also doesn't irritate my eyes, whether it be along my waterline or in the corner of my eye. And it lives up to its name and lasts a longgg time, all day to be precise!

I can't recommend this product enough, a cheap and cheerful way to make you look bright eyed, what more could you want? This is my second purchase from LOOK Beauty, and so far I've been very impressed. I hope it keeps up when I'm next in Superdrug because I'm heading for you LOOK! 

Have you tried LOOK Beauty products? If so, what ones?
