Faves #2: Rimmel Glam Eyes Professional Liquid Liner

Up until very recently, a liquid eyeliner was an absolute staple in my day-to-day look. I'm not sure how I really got into that habit, but I definitely felt under-dressed if I didn't have my standard winged eyes. Over the summer however, I've gone to being slightly more natural, relying on mascara and eye shadow rather than using liquid eyeliner daily and just keeping that for evening wear or when I'm going out.

However, my favourite liquid eyeliner is Rimmel's Glam Eyes in 'Black Glamour'. When I say it's my favourite... I think that's a slight understatement. I recently bought a new dressing table so when I was decanting my make up into the drawers, I realised I had not one, not two, but ELEVEN of these in my drawer. Needless to say I swiftly got rid of the ones that had dried out, but I still have 8 of these bad boys in my dresser.

I recon the reason I have so many is probably down to the fact I knew I used them everyday, so when Rimmel/Superdrug/Boots would have the '3-for-2' offer, this would be my go to item (RRP £5.29).

This eyeliner does the job perfectly, not too much liquid on the brush, goes on smoothly and a bottle really goes a long way.

Poundland Haul - August 2013

Ridiculously amazing Poundland haul! I had been on lots of beauty bloggers pages recently, seeing that Poundland in the UK is currently stocking O.P.I Shatter Nail Lacquers amongst other gems. Wanting to get in on a piece of this action, I headed down to my local store to see what I could find - and came back with all of this!


First up, the O.P.I Nail Lacquers. Having wanted to try O.P.I for ages but not being able to justify the cost, getting these were an amazing find. I used the silver over the Rimmel shocked colour below and it looks beautiful.

O.P.I Shatter Nail Lacquer - Silver - RRP £11
O.P.I Shatter Nail Lacquer - Gold - RRP £11
O.P.I Shatter Nail Lacquer - Super Bass - RRP £11
O.P.I Shatter Nail Lacquer - Shatter The Scales - RRP £11

Couldn't find the RRP of the SinfulColors on a UK store, however found it on an American website for $5.51. Therefore I'm estimating that the UK RRP would be around the £3.50 mark. 

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - Ivory Coat - RRP £6.99
SinfulColors Professional - Gorgeous - ~RRP £3.50
Rimmel London Lycra Pro Proffessional Finish - Camoflague Chic - RRP £4.49
Rimmel London 60 Seconds - Shocker - RRP £3.69


I hadn't come across these Calvin Klein sheer creme eyeshadows before, however after all the hype and praise of Maybellines Colour tattoos I decided to get a couple of these.

Calvin Klein Temping Glimmer Sheer Creme Eyeshadow - Sheer Nectar - RRP £15.50
Calvin Klein Temping Glimmer Sheer Creme Eyeshadow - Vintage Metal - RRP £15.50
Calvin Klein Temping Glimmer Sheer Creme Eyeshadow - Retro Silver - RRP £15.50

Couldn't find these on a normal high street store site however Fragrance Direct lists their RRP as £15.50 each (!!). They sell them from there for £1.99 a pop, so still a saving of £1 per item.


These were one of my favourite finds. I found both Fancy Topaz and Posh Peacock on Boots' website so these two are currently available. I believe Nigh Jewel is a shade from last Autumns collection (?) so in my eyes, great for the coming months! I wouldn't normally buy monos (I'm more of a palette girl) however couldn't resist these. 

Rimmel London Glam Eyes Mono Eye Shadow - 171 Fancy Topaz - RRP £4.49
Rimmel London Glam Eyes Mono Eye Shadow - 500 Posh Peacock - RRP £4.49
Rimmel London Glam Eyes Mono Eye Shadow - 300 Night Jewel - RRP £4.49

Astonishingly, the total cost was £15 ($23.32 US, €17.46 EUR). RRP brings it to a total of £122.64, so I saved a massive £107.64! If you live in the UK, definitely head down to your local Poundland and have a look through their beauty section!
