September 2012 Favourites

Its been a while since the last time I wrote a proper post, I do apolgise for the lack of posts recently, school has been so busy, it's work work work everyday!

I haven't been wearing makeup that much this month but here are my favourites for the one and only September  2012

They are Collection 2000 lasting colour gel eyeliner in black, Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze and Vaseline in Aloe Vera


trying some new photo techniques!

Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera 20g - £1.99
As you can see this is still the whole packaging, I have had this for ages and have only recently hit pan.
I really do think that every girl should have some kind of lip balm or vaseline in the bag it really does make a difference to those chapped lips especially in the winter or just to make your lips a bit more mosturised. Vaseline is also a very multi- function product, as well as your lips you can put use it for cuticle care, lash care or eve to remove makeup  - it works better than some cheap makeup remover!
This one smells amazing, I absolutely hate the smell of the original one. its disgusting so I picked this up, when I finish this I want to try either rosy lips or cocoa butter. 

Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo24 hour Cream Gel Shadow in On and On Bronze - £4.99
I absolutely love this! I use it as eyeshadow base and makes them pop and last a lot longer plus you don't need much.

Collection 2000 lasting colour gel eyeliner in black - £4.99 
I haven't tried any other gel liners to compare it with but if I'm wearing makeup I'll be wearing this.
just a word of warning you will need your own liner brush, the one included is rubbish.

Now onto my other non-beauty favourites of month

Book - The Hunger Games
I have finally finished reading this book. It took me a long time to finish not because it wasn't good its just that I'm a really slow reader. Now I need to read the remaining 2 books

Songs 

T-ara Sexy Love

They are back yay! but then i do agree they have made this comeback a bit quick they should of waited a year for things to calm down. I mean the Nickchun scandal happened before the T-ara one and now T-ara are back just after one month and khun is still in hiding and might not be able to participant in their upcoming concert which is quite upsetting :(

Anyways I  LOVE this song it's so addictive but then all T-ara songs are addictive
there are 3 versions of the video and I'll link all of them below.
T-ara hwaiting! plus loving the robot dance. Shame SimonandMartina didn't review this :( 

dance ver.

robot dance ver. this is basically same as dance ver. just shorter and some different shots

drama ver, this has lots of eunjung yay!


What are your favourites this month?

collection 2000 lasting colour gel liner review



So this is my first ever gel liner so bearing in mind that I don't really have anything to compare with. 
So this is the gel eyeliner from collection 2000 or better known as collection now since its changed its name but somehow all their products have 2000 attached to it.  I personally prefer the name collection 2000 its a lot more unique than collection 

Price: £4.99 currently £3.99  (which i'm kinda annoyed about could of saved a pound) 
where to buy: boots. superdrug or wherever sells collection 2000 products 

Description (from collection website)
- These intense colour pigment pots will give up to 12 hours lasting wear, for a glossy finish to your essential eyeliner look.
- An applicator brush and handy hints on the back of the pack mean these lasting and easy-to-apply colours will give a professional finish that lasts!

Packaging 
It comes in a small box unlike other gel liners that I've seen  which either come in a long box or the brush is part of the lid, the eyeliner is in a glass box with a plastic lid which is quite good considering its a drugstore product. 

There's a little brush that comes with it which is pretty useless and i can't show you cos its so little and i don't use it that I've lost it :( sorry 

the little box
ingredients - sorry its blurry my phone camera won't focus:(

instructions on how to use

Texture
very creamy and opaque 
I've had this for 2 months now and it hasn't dried out though the edges kind of look like it has but then i do store it upside down 

Okay it looks like its dried out a bit at the edges - bit its still very creamy !

Application
I have found that giving it about 2 strokes will give you a nice opaque line and if you need to change it do it quick cos it will dry out and will be really hard to budge!


swatch - sorry for bad lighting
Overall
Pros:
  • compared to other gel liners this is the cheapest one that you can find in your local drugstore
  • smudge proof  
  • water proof
  • nice packaging that you can store upside down to prevent from drying
  • compared to other drugstore brands it has a wider range of colours - black, brown, yellow and a turquoise colour
  • suitable for people like me who have monolids cos it won't come off when curling lashes 
Cons
  • the brush that came with it is useless
  • may not last as long as 12 hours that is stated 
Rating - 5/5 
Repurchase? yes, definitely
