Adding to the collection: Urban Decay Razor Sharp Liquid Eyeliner in Intergalactic


One of the newest releases from Urban Decay are the Razor Sharp Liquid Liners, the come in an array of incredible bright and more wearable colours and I've been eyeing them on social media for a while. I am partial to a coloured liner so I was really excited for these!

I hadn't even realised they were out yet so I nearly died of excitement when I saw them at my local counter. I knew I had to buy one because I have been lusting for so long but I will admit that I felt a little let down on first look...

Firstly, the counter didn't seem to have all the shades.

Secondly, I felt they were over priced at £16 for such a small amount of product.

Thirdly, the colour that I had most wanted (Fireball) was out of stock.

I perceived, I watched them all and found that many of the shades weren't very pigmented and some even bled into the lines of my skin which is not at all what you want it an eyeliner. 

Intergalactic though, didn't bleed and seemed very pigmented so I chose this one.


The packaging is really lovely, very sturdy with a coloured handle which makes it super easy to tell the different liners apart. I also love the lilac packaging, its just so pretty. 

The product itself is in the smaller silver end, I would have liked to get more product that this for £16 but I can't judge too soon because it may last longer than I'm thinking it will. Who knows. The liner tip looked rubbish to me at first because it is a thin hair brush which I usually find hard to use but actually, it has proven never easy to use. It is thin and precise, depositing colour in a really delicate yet opaque way. 

Overall, I am impressed but I'm not also. It is nice, the product is good, the packaging is grid but I just can't help but feel that you can find something similar from other brands for a lost less money such as the NYX Vivid Brights. 

What do you guys think? Have you tried them or can you recommend another brand of coloured liners?

Adding to the collection: Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Lovelight (Sheer Shimmer)


Recently, I've bought a few new additions to my makeup collection so my next few posts will be showing you those items! 

Starting with this gorgeous Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Lovelight...

I've been eyeing up the Vice lipsticks for a while, there are 100 to choose from, in every colour and finish you could possible think of or need. I've been putting off buying any because how could you possibly decided with that much variety?! 

So the other day I went into House of Frasier, darted to the Urban Decay counter and proceeded to cover my whole arm in swatches. I've done this a few times and just not bought one because I couldn't decided so this time I just swatched loads and made an impulse decision and bought Lovelight. 

Lovelight is a sheer shimmer formula in a peachy nude with golden shimmers. It is a unique shade but it is also very wearable and because it is a sheer formula, it wears away evenly and is super easy to wear. No need for constant touch ups, you won't get the dreaded crusty inner lip and your lips will look like a shimmery delicious dream. 

The packaging for these Vice lipsticks makes me melt, gold base with a gun-metal silver tube. They are shiny and beautiful, the lipstick looks far more expensive than its reasonable £15 price tag. The lid also pops in really securely so I can't imagine that the lid would fall off in your handbag and get ruined! This is a real issue with cheaper lipsticks and it drives me mad, the inside of my handbag is a rainbow of lip products all over the lining! 

I am really pleases with Lovelight and it has definitely spurred me on to buy another sometime soon!

Oh My God though, have you all seen the lipstick palette Urban Decay are bringing out? I need it!

Devon 2016

Myself, my partner and our puppy, Watson, have recently returned from a wonderful week and in glorious Devon. We stayed in Woolacombe which in recent years has become our most favourite place to visit, it is one of the most beautiful places in England in my opinion with its vast sandy white beaches, crystal clear waves and countryside. We devoured cream tea after cream tea, eat ice cream on the beach and watched our pup encounter the sea and the sand for the very first time! He loved every minute! (head to my instagram for a video!) 

These are our holiday snaps!
