Haul: Catrice and Essence

Heyy Beauties,

I have a small haul for you guys today :)

It has been quite some time since I bought some Catrice and Essence makeup, and since I had to stock up on several basics, I decided to visit their stand.

First off, I bought a new setting powder by Essence called Mattifying compact powder in the color 01 'Natural Beige'. I have been using this product for a week now and I have no complaints. It does not cake up the face and is very natural looking. I recommend this product to anyone:


I have been searching for this next product for ages, and at last I found it. It was the last one on the stand and luckily I managed to purchase it. This is the Essence Gel Eyeliner in the color 'Midnight in Paris'. I also, have been using this product for a week, as can be seen from the pictures below, and I must say that I like it even better then the MUA Gel Eyeliner (Review HERE). It applies so smoothly and the color is blackest black. Love it!!


The last two "extra" products that I bought are the Essence Color & Go Nail Polish in the color '109 Off to Miami'. I haven't tried this yet, however I really like the color and it would also be a perfect Spring color:


The last product is a Catrice Limited Edition Lip Cream in the color 'Rest in the Forest' from the collection 'Siberian Call'. I am always looking around for new and different colors which I do not already own, and this was one of them. It is a versatile color, which can be worn both for work or school, or coupled with a bright lip color to tone it down.


Overall, I am satisfied with all the products that I bought, Let me know what you think if you have already tried any of these products,

Until next time,

Take Care,

Jessica :)

Review: My re-found love:- Deborah Liquid eyeliner

Heyy Beauties,

Hope you had a great start to the week :)

So, a couple of days ago I used up my MUA gel eyeliner, (Review click HERE), and I did not have a backup. Whilst rumaging through my collection I found my Deborah Liquid liner which I had totally forgotten about.

Deborah Liquid Precisione Eyeliner
I got so used to applying eyeliner with a brush that I forgot how to use a liquid eyeliner hahaha. However, for my first time after so long I applied it quite good,

Using Deborah Liquid Eyeliner
Although I really like using Gel Eyeliner, I had forgotten how much I used to love liquid eyeliner. It is true that when applying Gel liner you have more control over the application, however I find that no Gel Liner is as dark and black as a Liquid Liner is.

The downsides of this product is that the brush is very flimsy and frayed. However, this may be because of how long it has been in my makeup collection hehe :)


Overall, I really like this product. It is very black and it has remained liquid and not dried out even though it has been unused for so long.

I wish to try other similar products, which is you favorite Liquid Eyeliner?

Until next time,

Jessica :)
