NYX The Curve Eyeliner Review

Tuesday, 17 December 2013

After hearing NYX Cosmetics have landed in Next Clothing stores in the UK i have to admit i had to go to my local store and purchase some of the amazing things that have been on my wishlist for sooo long...

But unfortunately my next doesn't even stock them which is probably a good thing for my bank balance but as for myself i wanted to cry, just to clarify i didn't but god i wanted to, so of course with that heartbreak aside i did a bit of online shopping instead!

I did only buy one incredible product but I do assure you i will be back for more.
 
So just looking at this amazing'ness in the box put a smile on my face, now know its been around for a while now but with a full-time job comes money so yano forget the bills I'm buying everything I've wanted for so long on my wishlist (in moderation may i add).


The NYX Curve Eyeliner comes housed in packaging which is ridiculously big for something so small, it is simple but i guess it does add some class about it rather than just receiving it in a plastic bag (still think it's to much though for something that just ends up in the bin)


Moving on swiftly,
The eyeliner itself is shaped in the letter p, it has a sturdy felt-tip applicator a super jet-black colour and it's super easy to use.


One of the reasons for buying this product was purely for the shape as an eyeliner novice i tend to give in quite easily when using just a regular Kohl pencil or liquid liner because they look absolutely stupid with one eye looking perfect while the next's always a disastrous mess.


What I've found with this particular eyeliner is I'm in full control as the shape makes it easy for my thumb and forefinger to grip and glide over the eyelash line rather than me just hoping for the best applying what should be a thin curved line with other pencil applicators.

As for the formula i was slightly worried i wouldn't get on well in case it ran + smudged really easily, what if it crumbed due to the oiliness of my skin too?......


Well it certainly isn't anything of the sort, it applies perfectly with an intense black shade, lasts all day for up to 7 hours + it even stands the heat on a night out making me look less like the joker and more socially except-able.
 

All in all if your still getting to grips with any type of eyeliner, you don't like too wet or dry formulas and just want something that actually lasts regardless of your skin-type, as-well as wanting a true black eyeliner colour then i think this is one for you.
 Not just because it's one of the best I've ever tried it will change you from eyeliner appling novice to  an expert professional within seconds. (Well sort of. )

As for the £13-14 price tag it is totally it worth especially if it is something you use most days!

I purchased the NYX Curve Eyeliner here from very.co.uk

NYX The Curve Eyeliner 0.4ml for £14.00

What's your holy grail eyeliner/brand?

Just an Empty Bottle.... Empties #1

Monday, 3 June 2013

(L-R)
I'm quite the fan of reading empties posts it's always great to have a noisy into someone else's beauty regime and see what products they use monthly and so these are the some of the bits and bobs i've used throughout the month of may.

I use the Simple Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser as an extra in my face routine after washing my face in the morning and at night. I can't say that I've noticed a dramatic difference in size of my pores but they do seem ever so slightly smaller as well as looking tighter. My face feels super refreshed after using this product so for me its worth a repurchase.

I love love love the Heel Genius Foot Cream it smells so good, full of citrus'y goodness plus the blue colour  makes it all the more worth using, smoother onto your feet pop on a pair of gel cotton socks and your feet will be beautified in no time.

Next up is a little pot of goodness although they've certainly changed over time, essential is what they are.
The Body Shop Born Lippy Strawberry Balms great for handbags but I also use them as a night time lip treatment works a treat if want super moisturised lips for your day ahead.

Batiste the best life saver for when your in need of a sprouse up or wake up way too late to do anything to your tresses, I'm sure you'll all agree! (psst I go through these way to quickly)

Impulse and Charlie body spray, these sprays seem to last forever seriously, they're great to refresh throughout the day, as well as that you can reminisce over the scents that bring back the memories from school especially when it was a Games lesson and you'd walk out of the changing rooms choking on Charlie pink ha.

Two empties of another repeat repurchase of mine is the Garnier 2 in 1 Make Up Remover (its also an all over face make up remover too) this works a treat, something I will use over and over again its's that good it doesn't sting the eyes and there's no greasy residue left on the skin after use what more can I ask for?

Last of all Boots Own Branded Nail Polish Remover Pads these are a thin super soaked super effect way of getting rid of polish yes the dippy sponges that have made an appearance in the last year are somewhat better than this product but they are great for travelling and work just as good as cotton wool and acetone, plus the smells surprisingly great too.
