17 Doll'd up Eyeliner


Back last summer I saw that Clarins came out with a 3 dot liner, I couldn't believe how impressed I was with it, I rushed to buy one, and they had all sold out. I then thought did I really need it? (as I do with a lot of my make up purchases) and decided no, maybe I would buy the one from Too Faced. Anyway my fascination with these liners had died down.

Until I was in Boots looking for a new mascara. I'd never tried anything by 17 before and I saw that they had this offer on, where if you bought their new Doll'd Up mascara you would get a free eyeliner. The mascara was only £5- bargain. So when I got home I was so surprised to see that the eyeliner was a 3 dot liner.



I have tried this out a couple of times and I can't compare it to any others that have been on the market as I have not tried them. But so far I'm really liking this. I stopped wearing liquid eyeliner for a while and now I feel that this product is getting me back into it. You can do a variation of different lines from a nice subtle line close to the lash line or bold liner. It takes a bit of practicing to get used to this product as it is different but the results are really good. But the main winner factors for me is that its quick in the morning and the price! It's brilliant if you want to give something like this a go. 


Do you think you will try this product? Whats your favourite eyeliner out there?

TAG: I love highstreet/drugstore make up!

1. What is your favourite drugstore make-up brand? 
I find this question quite a hard one to answer, as I seem to try them all for certain products from time to time. I used to be very loyal to Rimmel but these days I find myself gravitating towards L'oreal. L'oreal is up the higher end of the highstreet prices but I really do believe that the products have that little extra benefit to them.

2. What are your favourite face, cheek and lip products?

For the face I would say my favourite product is the L'oreal perfect match foundation. I'm a pale ol' rose and L'oreal are one brand on the highstreet which cater for my skin tone. My favourite cheek product is the New York blush by Fashionista. My current favourite lip product is the Kate Moss lipstick in 107- it's a beautiful dark berry colour.

3. Least favourite product?
Revlon Lip Butters- I really don't understand the hype on these bad boys. I much prefer the L'oreal Rouge Caresse. 

4. What is the best make-up bargain? 
MUA make up palettes. Great colours and great consistency's for the price you really can't complain! The Undressed palette is a perfect dupe for the Urban Decay Naked palette.

5. What is your favorite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)
My bronzers in general, I do my blush and that's it as this time of year I tend to worry about being too heavy handed and then looking a tad orange!

6. A drugstore product that is overpriced? 
I find some nail polishes in the drugstore are just overpriced in general, especially for the mini pots. I feel you don't get enough product for your money with some of the brands.

7. What's the best drugstore dupe?
See my question 4.


8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?
Again, the Revlon Lip Butters, I was so excited to try one of these as everyone was talking about them. For starters I think I picked the wrong colour but the general product- I don't like. They melt so easily and there are products out there which are the same

White Chocolate Mousse Facemask Review


Out of the selection of facemasks I bought from the superdrug range this was the one that I COULD NOT wait to try! I love eating white chocolate so why would I not love it on my face?!

I opened it up and the smell....oh my god. You could eat it! It really does smell amazing. I applied it to my face, it went on easily. Left it on for 15 minutes while I was in the bath. At first it did sting a bit but I was experiencing some dry patches on my face. This did shortly pass though. After my skin smelt like the mask! Yummy!

Not only did my face smell edible, it felt my skin looking oh so clean! It was very soft and smooth and it solved those dry patches as well! I would get this again, for sure. Infact as they are only 99p I'm sure I would get more than one! If your a chocolate lover then this is the face mask for you!
