My Favourite Foundation EVER ♥

Hello!
So here is my favourite foundation EVER! ♥


It is the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, and I simply LOVE it.

Why?

♦ Because it gives an amazing coverage, it covers any imperfection & you can layer it to cover blemishes.
♦ Because it "Wakes You Up"! Seriously, it makes you look like you've had more than only 2 hours of sleep last night! :P It has these little glitters (don't worry, they aren't noticeable!) that makes you glow and look fresh and well rested!
♦ It isn't cakey. So, it looks pretty natural and blends well into the skin.
♦ It's very long-lasting! It will look good all day! I personally think it almost looks better at the end of the day when it had time to really settle on the skin and fade in it.
♦ It has SPF 15, which gives you some kind of sun protection, even though I would recommend putting on a higher SPF protection on your face, especially on sunny days ☺
♦ And finally, it smells good! Haha, that's the weirdest thing to say about a foundation, but this is the first foundation that I've seen that has a real scent to it. It smells really fresh and almost like a perfume. But don't worry, the smell isn't overwhelming, it's subtle and nice.

BUT! Be careful if you have very oily skin, the shimmer in the foundation may make your oily skin look even "oilyer".


This is my cat showing you the foundation :D 
Please excuse the sleepy face, he was taking his nap when I took the picture!

FYI: I am in the shade 103 "True Ivory", which is the second lightest shade I believe and it matches my skin perfectly ♥

Favorite Eyeliner (that deserves more attention!)

Hello.
Well I have this eyeliner that I absolutly adore and I've never really seen any good feedback about it on the internet. Either I've never come accross one, or there just isn't any. Anyways I really wanted to give my opinion on this eyeliner because I simply think it is one of the best!
I have tried a lot of different eyeliners and I've always come back to this one. I've always found the others to be too runny or too dark. We've all had that eyeliner that is so liquid it streams down to your waterline when you apply it, right? Or is it just me? Also, I have tried some eyeliners that were just too dark. And although I have dark lashes, the black was so intense that it didn't look the tiniest bit natural (even though eyeliner doesn't always look natural).

Anyways, enough rambling!
My favorite eyeliner is the L'Oreal Super Liner Ultra Precision (it is a liquid eyeliner).





And I have several reasons for liking it so much:
- First of all, it was the first eyeliner I tried and it is amazing for BEGINNERS. If you aren't very comfortable at applying eyeliner on your upper lid, then this eyeliner is your best friend (Tip: let the eyeliner "brush" rest on your lashes while applying it so you get a straight line)! It is perfect for beginners who make mistakes (and trust me, you will make a lot of them at the beginning), because it is easy to wipe away. (Tip: if you make a mistake with this eyeliner, simply take a Q-tip and wipe that mistake away).

- It is just easy to apply, the "brush" is just the right size. It is big enough that you don't have a hard time making at straight and even line, and small enough to make a nice thin line!

- On top of that, it stays put all day. You can have a long day at school or work and it will not budge. BUT, it doesn't like water. If you get water on it or if you cry, it will stream away, and it's not pretty. (Don't worry, rain shouldn't do anything to it, except if you stay under the rain all day). I once laughed so hard that I started crying, and I finished the day with no eyeliner...

Well that is all I have to say about it! I really love it and use it everyday, I've probably repurchased it 5 times!
That tells you how much I'm fond of it.

Also I have tried that same exact eyeliner in "intense black" and that black is too intense for me!

P.S.: This post is mainly for liquid eyeliners, although I prefer it to any other eyeliner, regardless of their texture (liquid, gel... etc).
