Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner Review
The description on the pen is 'For precise lines, smudge proof colour and easy application'. Two out of the 3 descriptions i agree with, one frustratingly i don't.
I tested it out on my hand on the plane and i thought i was on to a winner. It applied really easily and when i rubbed my hand only a couple of seconds after applying it did not budge one bit.
I then applied it to my eyes the next day, finding it so easy to apply, with it having a felt tip applicator with a thin tip. It made it quick and stress free to apply liquid eyeliner to a novice like me, especially with eyes that can only take thin eyeliner.
However by the end of the day, i had eyeliner smudged all over my eyelids up to my brows and under my eyes and it looked god damn awful. Unfortunately not smudge proof. Although i do sometimes get oily eyelids i couldn't believe how different it seemed from when i swatched it on the back of my hand and it wouldn't budge. I therefore maybe thought it was due to being on holiday and it being hot and humid. However since testing it when being back, the same thing just keeps on happening.
It is therefore unusable for me which is so annoying as it is the easiest liquid eyeliner I've found to apply although it may work for people with drier eyelids.

Has anyone else tried this eyeliner? Did you have the same problem?
Rimmel Collection
I know I'm a broken record but Rimmel is my favourite drugstore/ high street brand. I think they keep on bringing it with really good products at such good prices. As i seem to mention Rimmel in almost every post recently, i thought it was only right to show my Rimmel collection. I don't own loads from Rimmel, but what i do own i use all the time and love!
- Lasting Finish 25 Hour foundation- This is my least favourite product from my Rimmel collection and my least favourite of the 3 foundations i own from them. I found it didn't last particularly well despite the name and that was the reason i bought it in the first place. It gave alright coverage but it clung to any dry patches i had. Saying that, i have nearly finished the bottle and i do have friends that have liked it. Price= £7.99.
- Wake Me Up Foundation- This one needs no introduction. Everyone seems to have tried this and this is my second bottle of this foundation, an indication for me that it must be good. However, i much prefer this for the spring/ summer months as when i used it for the first time in a while in early December, i found it to feel very tacky on my face and it made me want to claw my makeup off (weird i know). I just really didn't like the feel on my skin. However, in the summer i loved this and used it everyday so i just think its not suited to my skin in the winter and I'm looking forward to hopefully loving it again in a couple of months. Price= £8.99.
- Match Perfection Foundation- This is my newest Rimmel addition and my current everyday foundation. It gives a light coverage that is very buildable and gives a natural finish with a light glow in places. Price= £6.99.
- Stay Matte Pressed Powder- A lightweight powder that does the job but doesn't leave the skin looking cakey. I have this powder in 001 Transparent and 002 Pink Blossom for when I'm having a bad skin day and need an extra bit of coverage in places. Price= £3.99.
- Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Stick- I have the shade 002 Bulletproof Beige and it is a really gorgeous champagne colour that is super smooth and pigmented and lasts all day. I definitely want to get more shades of this! Price= £4.49.
- Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal- 005 nude. I use this on days when i want to open and brighten my eyes and it does a really good job. Price= £3.99.
- Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil- 061 Jet Black. This is just a normal black eyeliner which is pigmented, long lasting and can also be smudged out for a softer or smokier look. Price= £2.99.
- Apocalips Lip Lacquer- I have two shades of these and they are Luna and Big Bang and they are both beautiful! These are another of Rimmel's products which have been hyped up so much and they do live up to it although i don't use them as much as i should, especially Big Bang. The new colours that have been brought out have also caught my eye and I'm looking forward to getting my little hands on them. Price= £6.49.
- Kate Moss Lipsticks- 03, 12, 107. I absolutely love these. They are my favourite Rimmel product and i just cant speak highly enough about them. I love all 3 shades that i have and 107 is my all time favourite lipstick, it just looks great with anything and everything. The only teensy weensy criticism is the lack of a colour name on the packaging. Price= £5.49.
Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner
I never used to wear the classic cat eye/ flick until i found this little beauty. I have quite hooded eyes (i think) and so when i look straight ahead, you cant see much lid space. Any eyeliner that i do on my lid must therefore be super thin as otherwise it just looks wrong. I'd always wanted to give it a whirl, but nothing id used before had worked for me and so i was beginning to think liquid/gel eyeliner was just not for me. Until i received the Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner- Black 1 in a Glossybox a few months ago.
It has a small nib, enabling you to do precision eyeliner, is super black with just one swipe and lasts really well too. And, what makes it even better?! Its only £2.99! Bargain! I can finally wear a cat eye!
