REVIEW: COLLECTION EXTREME 24 HOUR FELT TIP LINER


I think it’s quite difficult to find a good felt tip eyeliner, so today I thought I should let you know about this little guy from Collection (I still want to call it Collection 2000 all the time, anyone else?)
Long lasting really says it in the name Extreme 24 Hour, but these guys really do last all day and night, and it’s really hard to take them off when you get to your skincare routine, so if longevity is what you’re after, look no further.
They come in 4 colours -  black, purple, blue and teal – and they only cost £2.99! ( you can find them here)

So next time you’re in Boots and you’re trying to find something to spend your extra points on, why not give this a go?

MAKEUP COLLECTION AND ORGANISATION

Last week I asked you guys on instagram if you'd like to see a makeup collection post, so here it is... 
hope you enjoy!
I store the majority of my makeup in the first draw of this dresser I got a while ago from ikea, I organise it by categories going from eye, to lips to face products.
I got these storage boxes from Hobby Craft, and I love them because it's really easy to divide everything up and see it quite clearly, which helps when you're looking for one specific thing.


The top just has a few bits and pieces to make my room a little prettier, as well as a board with tickets and other random bits that I want to keep and remember. 

Acrylic containers like these are also very useful for storage, and you can always stack some on top to save yourself a bit of room. I use mine to store some of my favorite jewellery pieces and hair bows, and I have two perfumes (Chanel Chance and Michael Kors Glam Jasmine) and a YSL lipstick on top. 


I also recently got this small dresser too, in which I keep all of my everyday makeup in (it makes it a lot easier to get ready in the morning)! 


From L-R I use one smaller tray (also from Hobby Craft) to store my face and lip products in, and a bigger box for my favourite eye products at the moment. Then I have all of my MAC lipsticks in acrylic lipstick holders, and my MAC eyeshadow palettes next to them as well. 
I switch up the products in this draw on a regular basis though, to make sure I use everything in my collection. 

On top of this I just have a Calvin Klein candle, and a big cookie jar I use to store the makeup brushes I use everyday. Next to that I also keep my MAC Fix + and the Urban Decay De-Slick setting spray.

#AccessAllAsos


A couple of weeks ago, I applied to be a part of #AccessAllAsos, and last Thursday I got an email that said they loved my application, so now I’m officially an ASOS insider (so exciting!)

This means that I now have access to different previews, and get various other cool information!
I’ll also get invitations to visit ASOS HQ and attend other events, which means I’ll be able to meet other fashion and beauty bloggers too! And they mentioned that there'll be an odd discount on the way, definitely not complaining :)

I also received a little welcome package, so I thought I should show you what was inside!
  •          ASOS sunglasses
  •          ASOS luggage tag
  •           Fortune Cookie that said ‘Destiny comes dressed in many clothes’
  •           A cute hand – written note that welcomed me to #AccessAllAsos!

I can’t wait to get started with this ASOS programme, I’ll definitely keep you updated!

Thank you for reading,
