My HG Product Review: Collection 2K - 24 Hour Extreme Felt Tip Liner

Bonjourno Pansies,
Whilst scrolling through my dashboard reading my favourite blogs i felt like doing a post. Whilst thinking shall i scroll through websites looking for MORE i'm begging on my knees for i decided i will just do a review on a product, a post i do not do that often since i'm seem to feel that they aren't as interesting to read about high-end products unlikely for my age to have or unlikely others will be able to obtain and then the other reason is it is not my strong point in writing/blogging but i felt if i do a drugstore product of one of my EVERYDAY STAPLES.

Collection 2000, as most of you know, is my FAVOURITE drugstore brand. I think for the price on average £2.99 per product or 2 for £4.99 when the offer is on. I do prefer buying it in Superdrug though not boots because i find the counter is always bigger. Collection 2K seems to almost be the english equivalent of Cover Girl. I love Collection 2K products: the lipsticks, CONCEALER, MASCARAS glitter eye and i want to try the glitter liners and the actual eyeshadows and like EVERYTHING by them but my favourite ever product ISSSSSS:
24 HOUR EXTREME FELT TIP LINER 
...As you all know i dislike pencil liner, i like but too tricky for day wear: Liquid liner and i've never tried Gel but i have my eye on the maybelliene one. 
/\ not my pic but forgot the source SORRY....


The packaging is soooo well made. I love it, it is really thin and light weight - certainly is easy to cope with and room in your bag for. The packaging doesn't get dirty like some packagings do and i really like the writing on it, the silver stands out so well against the black and with the sleek black and silver packaging it STAND OUT to you, like that writing just did hehehehe good one i know. The only difficulty i suffer with is if you close the lid TOO tightly (it is one of the pop on pop off lids) it can get jammed and when you pull to get it off and do get it off you usually end up with black against and all over your hand..bUT all together it is 
4 **** For the packaging...

Now for the product on its own:
As you can see the nib of the brush is very small and TRES/very STURDY. This liner due to the fact being so tightly screwed to the base is really easy to manoeuvre over your eye with minimal smudging or mistakes. To be honest after a while of using it i have noticed the nib start to loosen up and that worries me because my last pen eyeliner, a punk-your-eyes one by Scarlet & Crimson, just fell off and fell down my sink! Awful right? Well this one is still going strong and no sign of drying out just yet like Collection 2K Mascaras do if you abandon them! The colour is really dark and is easy to get a thick or thin line with minimal shakes and scratches to it. I have recently started trying out with gel liner and i realised that each time i attempt it is shaky and like rickety effect like its goes up and down and i find with this it is just perfect!!!!! Unlike other eyeliners i find that this has no air bubbles like it is a solid colour with no pigmentation gaps if that makes sense?


Quality - 4****




Thats it for today! 


On wednesday im going to a Ke$ha concert with my sister. I'M SO EXCITED. The tickets were meant to be a gift for me and a friend since my mum won tickets to The Script @ itunes festival and its my sisters fave band they were meant to go but my mum is making me overlooked after and is making me take my sis instead of a friend but oh well shes lucky she gets 2 days of concert! AND I GET COATED IN GLITTAAAAAAAAA, i will post pics of me b4 and after the concert :)...got 2 go out to get a gym membership now....
Ooooh and HI Kyra!!!!!


XOXOXO

If only i was getting married...


Hey again...

Finally i'm getting back into a usual blogging-schedule :), it makes me happpppy! 
With Summer coming round, all i am hearing about is Summer weddings for some reason: AND I AM 13. I've never been to a wedding, boooooooo :'(....But my good friend, Yasimin or as i call her ZouZou, and i made/started making WEDDING BOOKS. okay we have all seen the films, Bride Wards and tv shows, Friends where they whip out their wedding oboks as soon as they get engaged and start planning! So ZouX2 (zouzou) and i decided to make them, i prefer winter weddings. Who wants to be boiling hot sitting inside or outside in a tight dress and be icky and sweaty, well i love the thought of summer weddings - my sister wants a beach one but i love the thought of a fall or winter outside wedding where snow could be falling or leaves and the smell is beautiful..
 okay ignore my poeticness, shall we just establish i am a sappy romantic! 


I thought i would show you a few of my plans! 


6I love MARCHESA gowns, they are the only ones that do it for me! Except Vera Wang are nice but i love the style and delicateness of Marchesa, Vera i find are too decorated and OTT. Marchesa i love in general, i love their red carpet gowns which many celebs such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Blake Lively who seems to sport many of them including a BEAUTIFUL blue one shouldered dress:
 Well their wedding dresses are EXQUISITE! 











My FAVOURITE:
14


1HOW BEAUTIFUL?
i think its just amazing! I love Mermaid shape dresses for weddings i do love poofy ones like Kate Hudson in Bride Wars by Vera Wang and people say they imagine me in those but i think this is so me! Personally i do like me a white one shouldered wedding dress like this:
But i just love the one above! it is BEAUTIFUL. I love the embroidery And the netting that skims over the body.  I love this netting as well, it is simple and classic. i would love me a tiara, a small one, ME NOT DOING ANY GYPSY wedding and a simple but beautiful crisp veil to go with it. Whilst thinking i love dresses that skim down and float outwards i was thinking about netting and then i randomly clicked on VW which they did have the most amazing nett-finishing dress which is just like UNBELIEVABLE i could not get over it! The netting has a waterfall sequin embroidery and kinda like rose detail on it! If i could have a bed made out of anything that would feel like a duvet. this nett. i dream about it. heeeeeere it is:


 /\ CAN YOU SEE THOSE SEQUINS. i love the rose styled netting!
 

Well that is all i have for now! I probs will make this a series! what do you think, would ya like dat? are you married ,what was it like? What do you want? am i the only girl who thinks about this at 13?

Girl Crush: Shay Mitchell

Helloooo Tulips,

How are you? How has your weekend been? I know i haven't blogged a lot, at the beginning of the week i was sick and then on wednesday i went to Kew Gardens on a school trip then Friday i went to Hever Castle, where Anne Boleyn grew up as a child and i saw the outfit Natalie Portman wore in The Other Boleyn Girl..they were really fun trips...

I have a haul coming up in a few days, i need to wait for a few deliveries to arrive which shall be very soon!

But for a quick post i want to do another Girl Crush post on one of my favourite Pretty Little Liars girls, Emily Fields or more commonly known as Shay Mitchell. She is absolutely stunning and has such a sweet-as-candy personality! It is so adorable that she is real-life best friends with bestie Co-Star Ashley Benson who plays Hanna Marin who i also have a blog post coming up on......
Shall we see some pics?

She has a gorgeous jaw dropping smile! and amazing hair and flawless skin! And perfect figure! TRES JELOUS as the french or half-french or speaking-half-french-half-english! I love her and the character on the show! Emily: loving, caring, lesbian/bisexual curious, home-girl. 

Here are the facts on Shay:
BornShannon Ashley Mitchell
April 10, 1987 (age 24)
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
OccupationActress, model
Years active2009–present








AAhhh sorry for the weird placement...

Pretty Little Liars is her first big main-star show, unlike other stars such as Lucy Hale/Aria or Ashley Benson/Hanna (Ash was in Bring It On Again as Carson i think))

OMMFG guess what i just found! You know how the books finished on Heartless or Wanted, one of those names anyways? TWO MORE ARE COMING OUT!!!!!  The first coming out on the 5th of July in a few days!!! AAAAAAAAH but i might not get it till August so i can catch up on the series first and then Ruthless comes out on the 6th of December 2011!!! I CANNOT WAIT! TWO MORE! Will the series ever end? Didn't it end on a really simple ending one which ended the series well but oh well more bookies for moi but i hope they don't have a slow start!


More coming up xxx

XOXO WMRDX

Freaky Friday

Ciao Blogosphere,

Finally FRIDAY IS HERE! It's friday friday gotta get down on friday or even better LAST FRIDAY NIGHT... OK moving on from listing random songs with the word friday in...I felt like doing a post but cdn't chose what to do so i just have a bunch of things to say....


Well on wednesday it was meant to be my Sports Day but it was raining and it was cold so it was cancelled luckily my mother was there and took my sisters and i home as soon as they announced the cancellation THANK GOD it cancelled just before my race - i was meant to do the 400m relay and run 100m of it but looking at the actual 100m race it looked sooo long especially for a not so good at running gal like me especially in the rain soo glad i didn't have to run..

Since i was in shorts and a short sleeved t-shirt and in the wind and rain i caught an illness or summin.....That morning i didnt feel soo good but as soon as i was back in my bedroom i fell straight asleep - IT WAS AT LIKE 1PM I NEVER SLEEP DURING THE DAY unless sick, so my mum worked out i must be getting a cold...I have also thrown up a few times and i can't swallow food and can only just drink through a straw ITS HORRIBLE. i hate being ill! - don't we all? I stayed home from school yesterday and today hopefully back on monday but that means i didn't get my end of year results as early as possible which would of been yesterday. But i feel so ill!!!!!!! Practically all i've drank is Ginger Ale since it neutralises the acid in your stomach somethin like dat but since my sister loves it she drank the rest of it, i did let her, so my mother is out now buying some Lucozade. movving on.....

I chose my 'White Day' outfit, 'White Day''s official name is Annual Gathering where form reps and a few certain years and parents have to wear white and listen to this long speech by the headmistress. I am not a form rep but my best friend and good friend (Jeanette and Gabi - linked to their blogs) are for my class but in another class in my year the deputy form rep can't go so i asked to fill in SO I CAN GO!!!!! Yay-ish, i do have to stay at school and listen to a speech on my last day of the school year but it gives me and excuse to buy a new outfit :)....The conditions for the outfit must be white plain or white with a white pattern, pale shoes, white accessories if needed, cover most of your shoulders and look smart....so i think i chose my outfit but i haven't ordered it yet:
White Ruffle Toe Post Sandals
White Ruffle Toe Post Sandals - £12
Select Fashion
Harley All Over Lace Ribbon Belted Playsuit

Harley All Over Lace Ribbon Belted Playsuit - £20
Boohoo.com
