Maybelline New York eyestudio; gel eyeliner review

I recently bought a high end brand's eyeliner and it was absolute rubbish! I won't name the brand because I don't want to give negative reviews, but I feel like this just proves you don't need to spend a large amount to get good result. I seem to be constantly trying new eyeliners but I do have a few favourites. Maybelline New York's gel eyeliner being one of them.

Obviously with the glass jar and plastic lid it is quite durable! This means you can literally throw it into your bag if you're in a hurry - which I've actually done a number of times 

When I first got this eyeliner I only got Blackest Black. After I tried it I fell in love and went on and got Brown. Although I personally don't use Brown that frequently if I do decide to use brown eyeliner this is the one I use. 

I have also swatched both for you using different thicknesses. 

For all the swatches I used the brush that comes with the set. 

I also think that, considering they came free with the product, the brushes are quite decent. You can purchase better brushes in stores but I think you could hold off and use these. 

I, again, looked up the prices for the top 3 places that I have readers. 

UK: £4.99
AUSTRALIA: $14.99 

USA: $9.99

Overall this gel liner is comparable to that of a high end product. It apply's easily, doesn't dry out and is smooth.  It also last for hours, no smudging. The brush was also a lovely surprise! I had low expectations but I gave it a go and I was happily proven wrong with its quality. So, if you are interested in trying gel liner for the first time or even adding to your collection I would highly reccommend the Maybelline New York gel liner!

Thank you so much for reading my blog! Tell me below if there is anything you want reviewed or just something you want me to talk about, I'll see what I can do!

RIP 2012

Out with old, in with the new! Happy New Year!

As I said on twitter  recently, for me, 2012 wasn't good and it wasn't bad. It just kind of happened. I mean, it was my final year of school so I had nothing else to think about but when my next assignment was due. Life was all one organized schedule. 2013, not so much...

I could rant to you about all the changes that will be happening this year but that's boring, as you probably know what happens after school. So, instead I had a different idea. New Years Resolutions!
I've never actually had a New Years Resolution as I know I wouldn't stick to it but this year I will, for my blog, because this way I can document my results.

My idea is to make a list of Resolutions that I know will be a struggle for me but I want to do for myself. Also, if I post it online I feel like I will want to try harder because it's out there for people to see..

MY RESOLUTIONS FOR 2013 

Smile and Laugh more: This may seem silly to some people but I honestly think everyone should make this goal. I find that even when I'm in an awful mood if I just force a smile I feel a little better. 

Take more photos: One of my biggest regrets is always that I didn't photograph the moments I want to remember. In 2013 I will try my hardest to photograph everything! 

Worry less: You probably don't know this about me but I'm a massive worrier. I am a very anxious person and I worry about every little thing and I don't want to be like that. I know it will take time but this is probably one of the most important personal goals I've made. I don't want to forever be the anxious friend. 

Make more blog posts: This is pretty self explanatory, I don't post on here enough. It's not about views or followers, I started this blog simply because I've always wanted to and now that I have I should use it!

Take my own advice: I always give my friends and family advice but when it comes to myself I just don't seem able to follow my own advice. I always know what I should do in certain situations but I never seem to do what I know I should be doing. This year I will. I will try to anyway. 

Start YouTube: As I've said in previous blog posts I have wanted to start YouTube for over 3 years and I've never been brave enough to do it. I'm getting a new camera this month sometime so I will just go for it. When I do I will make sure to make a post about it. 

Be more outgoing: Although I'm not a very quiet person when I meet new people I am quite shy. I want to try and be more outgoing and make new friends! I like meeting new people it just takes me quite some time to get comfortable enough to totally be myself. 

Just Enjoy Life: As a result of a lot of bad things happening in the past few years I tend to forget the main point to life. Simply enjoy it. As my Mother always said to me "that's life." I need to stop and think. Life is there to be lived, I just need to live it. 

So, there are my main goals for 2013! I know I won't magically be able to do all these things but I can try. I hope this post gave you a bit of insight into me and who I am. I have complete faith that 2013 will be a great year! If you've made any New Years Resolutions let me know in the comments below, I'd love hearing from you!
