Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner Pen



I received the Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner Pen Mini in a Birchbox a few months ago and after using the Eyeko Lash Curler I was exited to see if this lived up to my expectations of the brand. It is so easy to use and the results are PERFECT.  Look through any recent Instagram photos of me wearing eyeliner; I'm wearing this!

I've been using eyeliner pens by L'oreal and Bombshell for about a year after a colleague introduced me to them, but I always struggled to get the flick perfect. Usually this is because the pen is too thick and too "felt-tipped" that it goes a little bit blotchy. I can never get a straight flick by using these pens and usually have to top up with another product. This can be incredibly frustrating and has resulted in my taking off all my makeup in anger!

The Eyeko eyeliner is perfect for creating a quick flick. It is thin enough to outline the shape you want and to fill it in without getting it everywhere and it creates a smooth, bold shape. I wouldn't say I've got a steady hand in the slightest but this pen is very comfortable to hold and it is easy to remove if you make a mistake, which in turn makes me feel more relaxed when using it, resulting in the perfect flick!

During the day I never have to top up my eyeliner. It lasts such a long time and never smudges unless you run a wipe across it. It's so important to me that a product is long lasting. I need something that I don't have to top up halfway through the day in the toilet at work! On the rare occasions that I go out after work, it stays put, from morning through til night. It's fantastic!

 I've used my pen non-stop for a few months and it's only just starting to run low, but I will definitely  purchase another.

For just £12, it's only a little bit more than your average highstreet brand, but remember you are paying for quality! Now I've found THE eyeliner for perfect cat eyes I won't be looking back.

Wilkinson Sword Intuition Naturals Razor




Last year I received this incredible razor in a Glossybox. I usually (and stupidly) don't really care what I use to shave my legs, but this has changed my views completely!

I've never seen a razor this shape before, but here's why. The razor is surrounded with a thick soap that, as you run across your skin, creates a lather to provide ease and precision to your shave. All you need to do is add water, and means you can save a tonne on shaving foam! The razor is as light as a feather, you barely feel it on your skin, and it doesn't cut you! Despite this, it leaves you with such a close shave and, along with the moisturising effects of the soap, leaves you with soft, smooth legs!

I'm prone to ingrowing hairs with whatever razor I use, apart from when I use this one! The soap around the razor lasts a few weeks, if you shave regularly, but the razor is still going strong after all this time! I'll soon need to replace the razor/soap combo (around £7 for 3!) but at the moment it works perfectly!

For just £6.99 in store I think this is the perfect razor for every girl. It's so quick and easy to use and with the added benefit of soft, moisturised legs after use, it saves time moisturising yourself (or am I just lazy!?).

Fancy giving it a try? Buy it here!

Eyeko London Lash Curlers



I've been obsessing over these curlers for months now and thought it was about time to express my love for them. Eyeko is a brand I'd never heard of until Alexa Chung collaborated with them last year. Due to the price tag, I opted to not buy any products myself, until I received this beauty through the post.

I've never been a huge fan of using curlers as mascara is usually enough, but it's incredible the difference these make to my lashes. The soft velvet handles make for comfortable use, meaning curling your lashes is as precise as possible. It's easy to manoeuvre, without being too loose or too stiff. It also comes with a number of extra silicone rubber pads to replace as they wear out, which you don't usually get with your bog-standard curlers! And most of all, it does it's job really well!

I always heat these up with a hair dryer for a few seconds, which I find curls my lashes even more! I find with some curlers its difficult to get all of your lashes done in one go; with this, no problem! Within one squeeze all of my lashes are curled beautifully, leaving me with big bright eyes and the perfect canvas to apply my mascara! I usually go with They're Real by Benefit or L'oreal's Miss Manga!

I'm still on my first set of rubber pads as I don't use it every day, but when I do my lashes have ten times more volume and it makes applying mascara that much quicker. From my experience with these curlers I'd easily try another product from the range. Possibly a mascara to go with...

Have you tried these curlers yet?
