Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner ♡

Another cult beauty product that I've been so desperate to try out and have finally gotten round to testing it. This is definitely a lot cheaper than the last product i purchased costing only £18 which is decent for a gel eyeliner as they generally last 5 months and above.


I love the way Gel eyeliner looks when its fresh in the pot its so satisfying when i get my brush and poke it in it makes me so excited. 


This liner is so pigmented i can't even begin to explain. I love i don't need to keep topping up the product on my brush half way through. I use either a MAC 266 or a Real Techniques gel-liner brush. Both work well depending on the kind of look you're going for. 

It lasts all day and doesn't even budge which is great when I'm out and about but can be such a struggle when it comes to actually removing it at the end of the day, or when you make a mistake winging your liner (some make more mistakes than other (me)). 

All in all i think this is a great gel liner, the consistency is just what you would want it to be and applies beautifully. Unfortunately, because its so difficult to take off I'm not too sure if i will be purchasing it when I'm done. I make a lot of mistakes and i can't take it off without ruining my eyeshadow and other makeup too which drives me crazy. Taking it off leaves me with huge panda eyes and i have to go through so much cleanser to get it off, plus washing my face with another cleanser! Im quite lazy so having to do all of that after i get home is far too much effort.
Let me know of some better gel liners i can try out I'm still on the hunt for the perfect one!!

Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel ♡

Im SO excited to review this product as i have wanted it for the longest time but have never been able to bring myself to splurge £35 on a cream bronzer, especially as i have never actually used a cream bronzer and i didn't know if i would like it/know how to use it.


I just want to take a moment to appreciate the packaging, it such a beautiful product just to look at and it sorta looks a little like chocolate moose which is a plus. 


Onto the product: this product isn't as creamy as i imagined it would be, it has a hard outer shell which makes it easy to pick up just the right amount of product without having to worry about having big brown cheeks.


 It applies so beautifully as you can see on my beautiful model Mina. I use a Real Techniques contour brush as its a perfect size to fit the hollow of of cheeks then a Real Techniques buffing brush to blend it into my skin. It has the most beautiful velvet finish to the skin giving it a sun kissed glow which i adore.

I would highly recommend this bronzer if you get the chance to buy it, although it is £35 i would say its probably one of the greatest makeup investments i have made and looks like it would last me forever was you only need such a small amount to get a perfect finish.
