Anastasia Beverly Hills Waterproof Crème Colour Eyeliner Review!

Hey everyone! So today I wanted to talk about a makeup item that I haven’t yet written about on my blog, and that’s eyeliner. 

Eyeliner is something I’ve found quite difficult to get right, but I adore the look of it. If that’s pencil eyeliner, liquid, cream, bottom waterline or on the eyelids, I adore the look of it. It can frame the eyes, change the shape of them, amp up a smoky eye, make your eyes look bigger, smaller, and complete a makeup look all together. 

But unfortunately it’s been something I’ve struggled to get it right, and I definitely don’t have a knack for it. So for ages (probably years) I’ve been searching high and low for the perfect eyeliner that’s easy to apply for beginners and one that will look effortless on the eyes.

So after a lot of searching, I decided to purchase the Anastasia Beverly Hills Waterproof Crème Colour Eyeliner. If you’ve read any of my previous blog posts you’ll probably know just how much I love ABH products, it’s rapidly becoming one of my all-time favourite beauty brands.  It’s very quickly become a brand that I trust, it’s not an over-hyped brand at all, any hype around ABH is completely deserving in my opinion because their products are just amazing. 

 I wanted to try out a crème eyeliner, after some horrific experiences with pencil liners I quite liked the idea of a crème liner. Personally I like to keep it simple with the eyeliner; I like to apply a simple line across the lash line on the lid with a small flick. This look is so easy to achieve with this particular liner, even if you’re a beginner!

One thing you will either love or hate about this liner is that it’s completely waterproof! When ABH said its waterproof, they meant it! It dries extremely quickly and I promise you, it will not budge all day! I find that this can be both an advantage and disadvantage depending on your preferences; obviously it’s great that it will stay in place all day even in the heat, but if you’re a beginner like me it might be quick difficult to rub off if you’ve made a mistake applying it. Having said that, it is really easy to apply, I normally like it apply the liner with an angled Mac or Zoeva brush and that seems to be doing the trick nicely. 

 I purchased this liner in the colour “jet black”, but if you’re into experimenting with different colours then this liner is for you as it comes in so many it caters to every taste. I love the formula and consistency, an angled brush easily picks up a lot of product and it’s not messy at all!

Although I haven’t been using this product for long and don’t have a great deal of experience with eyeliners, I think this is a great product and I can already tell it’s going to be a favourite. I do want to try out a few other eyeliners so I may do a comparison blog post soon. If you’re looking for a new crème eyeliner for the summer months, this would definitely be high on my recommendations list.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade Review!

Hey everyone hope you’re all well! 

If any of you have read my previous blog posts you’ll know that eyebrows (and eyebrow products) are a big priority for me when it comes to makeup. Eyebrows can beautifully frame your face, they can make or break your makeup look, and they can say a lot about how you look after yourself in terms of your appearance. 

I’m always on the lookout for new eyebrow products, and I’ve tried many different brands in the past. In my last eyebrow product blog post, I was using Mac products on my brows, which I still love and would definitely still use now! However I recently decided to try out the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade in chocolate brown, since I’ve heard so much about this brand I was curious to see what all the hype was about.

 

I’ve only ever used powder products or pencils on my brows before, so I wanted to try out something new. The Dipbrow Pomade is a cream product, which basically helps to achieve a more defined and precise look to the brows. 

I’ve been using this product for about a month now and I have to say I regret absolutely nothing! Seriously. I’ve never been more in love with a new found makeup brand than I have with Anastasia Beverly Hills. I want to try absolutely everything from them! 

 

The Dipbrow Pomade is so easy to use I’d even recommend this product for beginners! It glides onto the brows effortlessly and adheres to the brow hairs so you don’t need to worry about smudging throughout the day. 

However this product is a little on the pricy side, retailing at £15 on BeautyBay.co.uk. Don’t let the price put you off though, it’s seriously amazing! I feel like I’ve had enough experience experimenting with various brow products to know that this product is incredible! It’s extremely pigmented so a little goes a long way! I like to use this product with an angled 317 Zoeva brush. 

 

Quick tip with filling in your brows, go over them with concealer (preferably with a slightly lighter shade of concealer) to really define the brows, it makes all the difference! 

I know I sound like an advert, but I couldn’t recommend this product enough if you want beautifully sculpted brows! It’s definitely going under my “staple” list. 

Thanks for reading!
