Halloween Fever

 

 Halloween is coming in a few days and although we don't celebrate it here in Australia it's fun to get into the spirit. When I was a kid I always had a mix of excitement and nervousness mainly because of the teenage boys down the street (one year they egged part of our house). 

The main part of Halloween is the costumes. There have been lots and lots of inappropriate,funny and just plain weird costumes. Some people go all out while most just go for the plain old ghost,pirate,witch ect. A while ago my family held a Halloween party and my twin cousins, only 18 months dressed up as little bees. 

My personal favourite part of Halloween was the cooking. Making chocolate spiders, dark chocolate coated cherries, ghost cookies and graveyard cupcakes. Every year we would think of crazy ideas that we could turn into yummy masterpieces. This year I will be trying Pumpkin Cookie Balls from Whipped the Blog.

I haven't got much plans for Halloween this year but please don't be afraid to tell me what you are doing or did. I am also sorry for the lack of posting. I promise I will post a few more entries in November.

Maybelline New York Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Review

Hi Everyone!!! Sorry I haven't posted for AGES!! I've been on camp and came back Saturday night and have basically been sleeping since. I had a great time with my friends and I loved every minute of it.

Anyway today I am going to do a review. It's my second review the first being on the Rimmel London Royal Gloss. Expect some more reviews to come as my parents have finally allowed me to buy things online.

Ok, so to start off I will tell you how I got it. I was up at the beach reading my magazine when I saw a coupon for a free Maybelline NY Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner. Since it was free and normally valued at $16.95 I happily went to  the local Priceline store and handed in the coupon. There wasn't too much drama into getting the eyeliner. They just had to ring up the manager and asked if they were one of the selected stores. It turned out they were so I got to choose between two colours;Blackest Black and Brown.I chose blackest black as I didn't think brown would suit me.

This eyeliner comes with it's own brush to use. They say to keep it well kept and clean. The gel eyeliner itself comes in a little case much like MAC paint pots. It has a decent amount of eyeliner in it and I was quite impressed by the packaging.

This would be by far the best eyeliner I've tried so far. It glides on easily and stays on for a very long time.
Just be careful as you put it on as it smudges VERY easily. It is great because I don't have to keep applying it over and over again. One of the bad things about this product though is that it never seems to come off. The next morning I still have black eyes from trying to get the product off. The only thing that does get it off is a heavy dosing of make-up remover.

Overall I would recommend this eyeliner but to only wear it on special occasions or nighttime. It is very dark and takes a while to come off. For $16.95 I wouldn't have tried it but now I will be happy to pay full price.
