Whilst at the airport a few weeks ago, i was picking out magazines to read on the plane and i noticed that Glamour Magazines (which i like anyway) free gift was the Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner. I've never actually bought anything from Eyeko but I've heard great things and with the magazine costing only £2 with a gift that retails at £12, this was not something to miss out on. 

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!

                                       

 This is my first negative blog post and although i don't want to bring the gloom and doom, i really dislike these two products and was extremely disappointed with them. The two products are part of the extra lasting range from avon; the mascara and liquid eyeliner pen. I decided to buy the extra lasting products due to having quite oily eyelids and eye makeup often doesn't last too well.
The mascara applies reasonably well and lengthens the lashes however after only an hour or so my lashes start to clump together so they're not seperated at all and by the end of the day all my lashes are clumped together into around 3 clumps. (overuse of the word clump!) This really is not what you want your eyelashes to look like. It is also extremely difficult to remove and i would often find that in trying to remove it, several lashes would come out. I kept on reusing the mascara, hoping that it would have just been a one off occurrance but it kept on happening no matter what the weather. 

With the eyeliner, it applies a light grey line thats barely noticable rather than the black that its supposed to be. It's also very watery which means it slips and slides after barely anytime and isn't 'extra lasting' at all. Sometimes i think that maybe i have a broken one as surely an eyeliner can't be that bad. 

The 'black' liquid eyeliner

 I am normally reasonably pleased with avon products but both these products are very disappointing and i wouldn't recommend anyone buying them.
