Benefit Magic Ink Jet-Black Liquid Eyeliner Review

So i have been working a lot so i have not been blogging much however this is my new favorite eyeliner so i thought i might review it for you. I sometimes find it very hard to do my eyeliner as i have quite shaky hands , it means i find it hard to create a good cat eye without messing up . However this eyeliner blush is very thin and easy to use , i have to admit that sometimes there will be the odd mistake here and there but that is normal. I wore this eyeliner to work today and it did not smudge or come off the whole day , the staying power impressed me so much. The pot of liquid eyeliner looks very small compared to normal eyeliners in my opinion as it is £15.50 , however if you want an eyeliner that stays put then this is the one for you.



I would want the packaging to be better such as i like liquid eyeliners that are in the pen design as i find them easier to use , wear as you have to keep dipping the brush in the pot. The colour is very dark black which although you might think yeah of course its a dark black cause of the name , however i say this because i have had eyeliners that have been grey when they say the colour is black.

Overall 
Brand: Benefit
Price: £15.50
Amount of product: 2.5
Pro's: I seem to be able to create a 'straighter' line with this one than with others , and i don't make as many mistakes due to the small tip.Wears well and doesn't fade throughout the day which is good if you need to go out or to work.
Con's: I don't like the packaging and i believe that there isn't much amount of product for the price , you could get a cheaper eyeliner that has more product however this is a very good eyeliner.
Overall rating : 5*


I hope you enjoyed my blog and if you know a really good eyeliner please comment

My Daily Make up Routine

I hope you enjoy my everyday make up routine, this will change depending on if I am going to school and my mood if I am honest as some days I like wearing a bold lip.
  1. Benefit The POREfessional - I will put this on my face if I want my foundation to last all day, it just feel lovely on your skin and minimize your pores however I wouldn't purchase this again because there are better primers out their for cheaper prices. This primer costs £24.50 which is a bit steep for a primer, benefit says that you could apply under or over makeup but I don't think you could apply this really over make up.
  2. MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 in NW15 - This is a lovely full coverage foundation which I will wear if I need more coverage like going out, but it does clog your pores so I can't wear it everyday. The only downside of my foundation is that it is quite orange on my fair skin even, this is £21.50 which although is expensive it will last you ages. 
  3. MAC Select Cover up - I love this concealer because when you put it on it covers what you want without looking like you have it on. Although this is £15.00 its a good concealer but I probably will try cheaper concealer to test them out such as the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. 
  4. Benefit High Beam - This is a very easy to use pretty highlight, the colour is perfect for my skin cause it looks beautiful without people going 'omg your wearing highlighter', its £19.50 for a massive but with most products I would say always get a sample before hand a try it out before you pay a lot for the product. 
  5. MAC Fleur Powder Satin Powder Blush - I will use a stippling blush to apply this to the colour looks natural on my fair skin, its easy to blend and looks beautiful. Its £18.00 although its quite an average colour, its perfect for fair skin people.
  6. Maybelline dream matte powder - This powder is a great product to have as a setting powder, I like that is takes all the shine away because I hate a shiny face after apply make up. This price in America is $8.23 which i think is a great price.
  7. Urban Decay Naked 2 palette - I use Foxy all over my lid and then Tease in my crease for a natural look, the eye shadows are silky and easy to blend. It's £36.00 but well worth your money.
  8. Loreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Mascara - One of my favourite mascara that make my eyelashes look lengthen and just  lovely. It sells for £10.99, but you have to try it cause its a must product.
  9. Barry M Kohl Pencil - For years I have used this eyeliner in my water line, it's very pigmented , smooth and just defines my eyes beautifully, and for only £2.99.
  10. Clarins Rouge Eclat in Nude Rose - I normally don't wear nude lipsticks until I wore this, it's your lips but better lipstick. I think £18.50 is steep but it is naturally beautiful and i love it for everyday simple make up.

I hope you like my blog post :)

Benefit Dandelion Review

Know i am not really a blush kinda gal if I am honest with you. I am quite pale so blushes come out very strong so for years I didn't really wear them. However when I had a problem with my Benefit hello flawless foundation they told me they would send a product of my choice in a price range so I picked the feelin dandy set. The set came with samples of posie tint , high beam , dandelion and the ultra plush dandelion lip gloss , I was so impressed by the blush. This blush gives me a little bit of colour and a beautiful glow which is just right for me , it is easy to apply and its safe in a kinda way that if you apply a little bit to much you can fix it no problem. Benefit Dandelion Box Powder (£23.50 for 0.35 oz.) is a softened peach with a hint of pink and a golden shimmer-sheen.

I wear this blush everyday and i think it is perfect for when you have either a very bold lip or eye look because it gives you the perfect flush of colour without it being to out their. The only downside of this product is that it is very expensive but it will last you a long time like nearly all of benefits products.

Overall 
Brand:Benefit
Price: £23.50
Amount of product: 0.35 oz
Pro's: This product gives you just a beautiful flush of colour without it looking like your wearing to much blush , the product will last you a long amount of time .
Con's: I would say their are two cons , the first being that the product is quite expensive but for the time that it last i think that is reasonable. The last con is that this product doesn't last too long on the cheeks so be cautious of that.
