Product Review - NYX Liquid Black Liner

Perfecting the cat eye flick has been a mission of mine for the last 4 years! Ever since I tried my friends Urban Decay Liquid Liner I've been addicted and I'm not afraid to admit it!!!

I came across this NYX Liner at The Beauty Trade Show last year at Excel (London) - it was reasonably priced so I thought I'd pick it up and give it a go - boy am I glad I did!!!

The brush is straight and fine, it's perfect for building up the line and adding a flick. I find on some liquid liners the brushes are too thick and then it just all gets messy but this brush is ideal.

I find the best way to apply this is to start in the middle of the eye and go out, starting with a small flick and building up to desired size - finally applying to the inner eye.

The actual liner is jet black and doesn't fade at all. This product is long wearing, reasonably priced and easy to use. If you get a chance you should definitely give it a go!

What's your favourite liquid liner?

Recipe - Strawberry Daiquiri Cocktail

Hope you all had a loovely weekend! I had Friday & today off work so had an extended weekend which has been so great!!!

On Saturday night we went out for one of my friends Birthdays - the theme was GEEK!!! I originally planned to wear my pinafore and a shirt but changed my mind just to a skater dress, with a toddlers rucksack and specs of course! 

It was a fantastic night and the drinks were definitely flowing, I was feeling it yesterday I can assure you.

Before we left to go to my friends I whipped up these DELICIOUS cocktails. I raided the cupboard to see what I had, chucked it all in a blender and it turned out to be pretty yummy. I thought I'd share the recipe with you all as everyone loves a cocktail... especially as we approach summer!!!

You can change the recipe depending how strong you like it - I'll warm you these have quite a kick so you might want put less rum in... but who wants to drink cocktails in the sun and not get a little giggly?!

This recipe made one full pitcher of delicious drinks:

6 Shots of White Rum (we used Bacardi)

2 Shots of Black Raspberry Liquor (we used Chambord)

6 Shots of Grenadine Syrup 

Sprinkling of Brown Sugar

Generous Pour of Lemonade

Loads of Ice

4 Strawberries

Dash of Lime Juice (we didn't actually have any limes so skipped this)

---- BLEND ALL TOGETHER ----

Dip the glass in water, then white sugar to frost the top. 

Slice strawberry and place on rim for decoration.

Fill half of the glass with Ice

Pour cocktails

ENJOY LADIES & GENTS!

GEEKS ARE US

TOO MANY JAGERS!!!!

Have you tried many cocktail recipes?

Nail Look - Barry M Gelly Pink

In my last Boots Haul I mentioned I picked up some Barry M Gelly nail 
varnishes. I couldn't wait to get my hands on these... or get the nail varnish on my hands!

This is the first look I've tried with the new colours, I opted for PINK as to be honest I am one of those sickening girly girls that love pink!!!

The colour went on SO nicely. It was a pleasure to apply, smooth, workable, and so glossy. I wanted to add something different so I put Barry M Gold Glitter on my ring finger, I put 3 thick layers of this to really build up the glitter. To finish don't forget your top coat!

I absolutely love this look, it's so shiny and really catches peoples eyes.
