For my first proper blog, I thought I'd give a short review of two of my favourite make up products at the moment. These are Collection 2000 EXTREME 24 hr felt tip liner and Famous Trio Eyeshadow in Rain Forest.
The liner can be found in both Superdrug and Boots (and other places around the UK), the Famous eyeshadow palette however, I have only seen in a large Superdrug (Meadowhall, Sheffield) and so I would need to look into where else you can find this range. (Please leave a comment in the box if you are interested).
I will start with the Collection 2000 EXTREME 24 hr felt tip liner. I first stumbled upon this whilst I was in Superdrug looking for new eyeshadow palettes and thought, "Oooh, I need more liquid liner". I have found in the past that liquid liners that are too runny tend to irritate my eyes and also smudge everywhere. So for £2.99 I thought that I would try the new felt liner. It comes in different colours; your staple black, a deep plum/purple, a dark blue and teal. I bought the black, but my best friend bought the purple and blue and likes them too.
So, I got the eyeliner home and decided to try it out straight away. It is so easy to use compared to the normal liquid eyeliner and isn't runny at all! Best thing about it, no smudging.
You can see below, the liner on my hand in different thicknesses and on my eye. Excuse the photo as I did my makeup really fast this morning as I'm not well and was off to the hairdressers!
As you can see, the packaging is quite nice also, and isn't much bigger than a Kohl pencil liner. All in all, I think that it is well worth the £2.99. Also, so far it has lasted a month with nearly everyday use and no signs of drying up yet.
The second product is the Famous, Rain Forest trio eyeshadow palette. I saw this in Meadowhall, Sheffield in Superdrug and fancied a change in colour shadows. As my eyes are hazel, I thought I would try out some greens and a purple. The palettes do come in different colours too.
On trying on, the colours are very very pigmented and do not take much to produce a very vivid colour. They are also very creamy. I love the feel of them, but it does take some applying. I tend to put a base on first then use the sponge applicator provided, making sure I get rid of excess. I then use my make up brushes to apply and blend. I am unsure of the price but I believe it was around £5-7.
I hope that this short review has been helpful! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to post in the comments box below!
