MW's EOTD and L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim Review

Whirlers!

New purchases from Superdrug:
Sleek Oh So Special Palette
Sleek Face Form Blush Contour Kit in Dark
L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim in Intense Black
MUA Bronzer in Shade 2

And this is what I came up with:
I used: Gateau, Celebrate and Noir from the Oh So Special Palette, the L'Oreal Super Liner, the MUA Bronzer in Shade 2 and the Sleek Face Form Blush Contour Kit.

Foundation: Christian Dior ForeverSkin in Medium Beige 030
Concealer: Christian Dior DiorSkin Sculpt in Medium
Mascara: L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes
Eyeshadow Primer: UDPP
Eyebrows: HD Brows
Lipgloss: Lancome Juicy Tube in Blackcurrant
Scarf: F21
Pussybow Blouse: Primark

Also, I have to say, I was in the garden all afternoon and my eyeliner/eyeshadow didn`t melt off, which was really impressive especially with this current heatwave!!

When it comes to eyeliners, I like the line to be thin and precise, which was definitely something achievable with this pen as you can see how thin the nib was, and at £6.49, I think its a great buy. The wear is fabulous, it didn`t smudge very easily, nor did it melt off in the heat, it wasn`t removable very easily with just water, but came off smoothly with face wash. The only downfall to this pen, in my opinion, was the lid. The lid wasn`t very secure, so I think I would have doubts to carry this pen in my make up bag, just in case the lid came off and leaked/ruined my other make up products and dried out quickly. Which is a shame, as I carry only a few items in my make up bag, and an eyeliner is definitely one. It would have been great if I could have the confidence of a secure lid in my make up bag with this eyeliner. So, I`ll have to apply at home and leave it at home and use a different liner to touch up if I have to. :(

So, L'Oreal, if you`re reading this, PLEASSSEEEE, make the lid more secure, and I will definitely repurchase this eyeliner, as everything else is perfect!!!

What do you guys think of my FOTD? Do you have the same palette? Which colour combo's have you tried? 

And, my beloved eyeliner, have you purchased it? What did you like about it? Did you also have a problem with the lid? Or, was mine just a manufacturing error?

MW's Attempt At FrootiBeauty's Naked Arab Look...

Hey Whirlers! 

Hope everyone is well? I`m currently away at the moment. Probably taking snaps of my family and the scenery! Will share once I`m back. Anyway, on with the post.

I have a beautiful friend called, frootibeauty and she is a MUA. She regularly posts her eye make up and they`re really inspiring....so, I gave one a go: Naked Arab...

Here are her photos (be ready to be blown away):



*beautiful* Masha`Allah

And, now, lollllll, here is my attempt (don`t laugh):




I`m actually really embarrassed to show you this, lol.

But, yeah SOOOOO not as good as Frooti's! I wasn`t able to blend it like hers, nor achieve the right shape. I want to blame my tools, but its just me not being very good lol *cries*

But, that just means, you guys should all check out her blog!

What do you guys think? Should I put down the brushes? lol

MW's EOTD: Au Natural Sleek Palette

Whirlers :) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Lets kick the year off, with an EOTD!


To achieve this look, I used the five shades in the palette which have been circled:
CONKER = green
HONEYCOMB = lilac 
MINERAL EARTH = yellow
TAUPE = blue
NOIR = pink

These are the 6 brushes I used to create this look.



1. I applied eyeshadow primer on just the eyelid, I used Urban Decay Primer Potion.

2. Using the 'a' brush, I applied 'CONKER', which is the shade circled in green, all over the eyelid.

3. Using the 'b' angled brush, I applied 'MINERAL EARTH' (yellow) to the outer corner, concentrating on creating a triangle. I also drew a smudged line on the lower lash line in the same shade.

4. Using the 'c' brush, I applied 'MINERAL EARTH' (yellow) filling in the triangle  towards the 3/4 mark.

5. I then used the 'a' brush again and blended the two colour together, concentrating on 'CONKER' (green) going over the 1/2 line and into the 3/4 line. 

6. For more definition, I used 'NOIR' (pink) with the 'b' brush in the outer corner. Only a little bit is required.

7. Using a fluffy brush (which, I do not own) but I make do with my 'd' brush, I blended the edge out in small circular motions upwards, ensuring there were no harsh lines.

8. I then used my 'e' brush and applied 'TAUPE' (blue) to the inner corner (1/4) and blended it in with the 'CONKER' (green). I also applied the 'TAUPE' to the inner lower lash line, meeting the darker line from point 3.

9. Using my 'f' brush, I applied 'HONEYCOMB' (lilac) as a highlighter under my eyebrows and made sure its blended with my my eyeshadow softly.

10. Eyeliner, mascara, concealer and eyebrows defined...and, its done.

What do you think? Was this difficult to follow? What other colour combinations do you think is possible from this palette?
