Fearne Chunky Eye Pencils

I bought these for myself over the Christmas holidays as part of the 3 for 2 gift range in boots. Price: FREE!

In order from top to bottom: Black, Bronze, Charcoal, nude and Peacock.

So far I have only used three of these colours and I am really happy with them. The pencils are great quality and I find them really easy to apply. Fearne said she finds chunky pencils easier to apply and I have to agree with her. The are also really good for blending. I blended out the shade peacock as an experiment and came to the conclusion it was best left as a liner and not blended out for me but if I had darker skin it would have looked lovely.

Love,

Don't always listen to the "experts"

My experience with Murads Exfoiliating Cleanser.

I went to get my eyebrows done a few months back (forgot to blog about this, better late than never!) and the lady mentioned my forehead looking like shit. She didn't say it in those words but that's what she meant. I personally didn't see the problem. She pointed out some bumps lying underneath my skin and asked me what I was using and I told her I was using Neutrogenas daily facial scrub in the mornings. She recommended using Murads Exfoiliating Cleanser, saying it would clear up my "problem" in no time at all. I'm sure it had noting to do with the price tag being €45. I know what your thinking but it was my birthday and I had some birthday money so I said why the hell not. I did make sure to ask her could I use to to replace my daily facial scrub and she said yes.

After a week this is what happened to my skin. 

Because of the price tag I thought this stuff must be pretty strong so I made sure only to use a pea sized amount for my face. After a week I thought this is not right and contacted my brainy friends (who from here on in I will refer to as "The Twins") who know everything about everything and told them about my experience. One gasped and I'm pretty sure the other one called me a retard, she's affectionate like that! They explained the ingredients of the product to me and that I should only be using it twice a week if that. I should have went with my gut instinct when I seen the price tag and left it on the shelf but the lady freaked me out. I left with fabulous eyebrows but convinced my skin looked awful. 

Since then I have been good and my skin has cleared up alot. I have also been using good moisturisers such as Neutrogena Multi-Defence daily Moisturiser and Oilatum Natural Repair face cream and drinking lots of water. My skin has improved greatly.

I am loving - Eyeliner

I have been no stranger to using eyeliner over the past year but I have avoiding using it on my lower lash line at all cost. There are two reason for this. Firstly I thought it might have looked a bit too much, too in your face. Secondly in my experience the eyeliner never stayed put. An hour later I would have panda eyes! Recently I decided to brace the lower lash line with a pencil eyeliner by Jemma Kidd in Screen siren or black to you and I!

I like the effect it had, I didn't go mad on my eye make-up. I left it simple and wore just a nude lip colour.

I recently bought Fearnes (Fearn cotton) eye pencil set in boots as part of their Christmas 3 for 2 deal and cannot wait to try them out.

More photos of these pencils coming soon.
