Bargain eyeshadow

Whilst shopping for Christmas presents, I stumbled across these eyeshadows in Home Bargains. At only 99p for a packet of three, I couldn't resist buying a few to try out. 

The first packet contained a black, silver and white, all of which have a shimmer to them. When swatching the colours, I found that the black was really pigmented and hardly any product was needed to be used to achieve a result. I imagine this would be nice to use next to the lash line. The silver and white however needed a lot of product to build up the colour.

The second contained a gold/brown, natural brown and a white. The two browns again were really pigmented and I found them to be really beautiful colours which I think would suit my eye colour perfectly. I imagine that the white would be a nice colour to use as a highlight under the eyebrows and on the cheekbones. 

Each eyeshadow cost only 33p and four of them achieved a lovely look. I am definitely going to add these products to my collection, and will come back to show you a make up look very soon.

Brown eye-liner

Ok so I, like many of you, have a black liquid eyeliner in my make-up bag at all times. So I decided I needed something lighter and more subtle on my eyes for the spring/summer seasons. In Select, they have a make-up stand which sells products from Beauty UK. and I noticed a pearl eyeliner in 'rich mahogany' shade 5. They were on sale for only 1.50 so I thought I would give it a go.

I found that this eye-liner was really easy to apply and glided along my eyelash line really effectively. I think this eye-liner has a softer, more pretty look than a black liner. The pearl, shimmery look of the liner also makes it more spring/summery.

Have you tried any other make-up from this range? What do you think of the brand?
