The Review - Eyeko Skinny Mini Eyeliner

As I'm sure many of you've seen, this month's issue of Marie Claire comes with a little gift in the form of the Eyeko Skinny Mini Liquid Eyeliner. I am all for lovely little complementary gifts so when I came back from scotland last week I picked up an issue. The mag itself was as always a nice read but if I'm completely honest it was the liner that drew me in with this one. Now over to the review!

Hands down, I think this is the best liner I've tried. It's opaque, easy to apply either as a fine line or a thicker one, if you want a flick or a wing this makes that an easy task. And on top of it all it lasts all day, and does not budge, smudge, run or smear. And I am talking from experience as I've tested the bad boy in all sorts of climate; moderate heat, rain, brisk-y and cold (went up north to visit family) and in the incredibly hot heat wave that's decided to stop by us Norwegians for a while (thank you for sharing the sun UK:) ) So I think its safe to sat that at least on me, a girl with slightly oily eyelids (nothing a little bit of primer can't handle) this is a keeper for the times when you want a long lasting eyeliner, which let's face it is pretty much everyday.

Hope you enjoyed this post, if you've tried this eyeliner or have another favourite then please do share your thoughts in the comments :) 

Lots of Love,

Give Me a Chance... or Three?

As you saw in one of my most recent posts (Duty Free Haul), I am a bit in love with the Chanel Chance perfume(s). The thing is I am this obsessed with them:

And you see the big empty original one to the left? That is my third one of the eau de toilette. I know, I am a bit of a crazy one, but look elsewhere for an apology because these three babies are the best smelling round glass bottles anyone could ever dream of and you are missing out if you've never had a sniff.

I won't attempt a detailed description of what exactly the Chance scents smell like, but I will insert what the people Chanel say:

Eau de Toilette 

It's your chance . . . TAKE IT! A decidedly young scent for those who dare to dream. A light, subtly sensual fragrance, filled with vitality and energy, evolves from one moment to the next, each wholly unique.

Eau Fraíche

CHANCE Eau Fraîche, a vibrant incarnation of the unexpected fragrance, now takes on a sparkling freshness. The unexpected floral bursts with a lightness and zest as notes of citrus, Water Hyacinth and Jasmine Absolute are highlighted and energized with woody notes of Amber of Patchouli and Fresh Vetiver.

Eau Tendre

CHANCE, the country’s bestselling fragrance family, reveals its newest facet, CHANCE EAU TENDRE. CHANEL Master Perfumer Jacques Polge reimagines the decidedly young scent in a constellation of tender and vibrant notes, at once delicate and airy, with an intoxicatingly light,fruity trail.

So to sum it up it is a slightly sensual fragrance that is filled with energy and youth. Eau Fraíche, which is limited edition I believe, has some added citrus as well as hints of floral and woody notes. Eau Tendre is definitely the lightest one and in my opinion quite floral, but it remains fresh, clean and youthful. I love all these fragrances and doubt I'll be roaming the shelves for any replacements anytime soon. I highly suggest that you ask for a little tester next time you're at a perfume retailer ;)

What is your favourite fragrance?

Lots of Love,

Duty Free Pick-Ups

Alright, so I am back from Scotland and T in the Park (which was amazing and epic by the way), and with me I bring a few sneaky treats from the duty free's great selection. 

I have been eyeing the Chanel perfume for ages now as I am already a fan of the original eau de toilette version as well as the eau tendre, and I finally got round to actually getting it. A fresh, female and flirty (but not sweet) scent that it seems like everyone tends to like. I suggest you go have a sniff at it the next time it crosses your path :) Next I got the Dior Diorskin Nude BB Cream, and boy do I get what the hype's about! I'll do a review on it, but hold on to your horses because this is a knock out! Then as a last minute 'throw it in your bag before its your turn to pay' pick up I found the OPI nail polish in 'Red Lights Ahead..Where?' in a box next to the check out. Hate it when they do that - I always end up buying things just because they're there not because I necessarily want or need them. Luckily this wasn't one of those products, but rather a real home-run that I have been sporting since the moment I got home. A gorgeous coral with hints of red and a name that I happen to love.

I am very satisfied with the three goodies I got, although my bank account might feel otherwise... Anyway, new post will be up in not too long!

Lots of Love,

Em

Just a Quick Hello

Hi, Sorry there's been no posts lately - I have been at my cabin without proper internet and tomorrow I am leaving for T in the Park in Scotland which means further lacking of internet. My normal blogging will resume next week! I have a bunch of posts planned, just need to get to the typing and photographing ;) Lots of love, Em xxx
