YSL Shocking Eyeliner Effet Faux Cils

Finally, I got my hands on the YSL Shocking Eyeliner! I was devastated as my the city YSL counter had sold out and I couldn't find any site that would ship it to Australia but I happened to come across one at Castle Hill Myer. Actually, there was a bunch of them probably due to the lack of staff working at that store. I was ecstatic and was almost tempted to buy two.

I also included swatches above comparing it to my another felt liner which is by far the blackest one I own (Illamasqua Precision Ink). The top one is the YSL and the one below is the Illamasqua eyeliner.

Whilst I feel the YSL liner is not as intensely black as the Illasmasqua one I DO LOVE the fact that it dries matte and doesn't flake. The matte finish makes it different and definitely gives a more softer but somehow bolder look. It still is very black but not the blackest black I've come across. I am so happy with this purchase. I swatched it on my hand several weeks back and was impressed that it did smudge but was removed easily as it was to apply. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking for an easy to apply matte black liquid liner that has staying power.

Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Wink

In case you have been living under a rock or have been hibernating this Winter, Illamasqua, the UK cult makeup brand has opened its counters in selected Myer doors across Australia. Myer Sydney City being one of them. You'll find them next to the fragrance department - come and say hi to me :) Working just steps away, I can't help but me mesmerised by the colour creations of Illamasqua, in particular their nail varnishes.
My first purchase ...

Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Wink $34.00

Apologies for the unneatness I quickly did them at 12am in the morning just to blog about it. See how excited I am !!

I absolutely love the colour! I was looking for a lilac shade for some time now and my workmate had tried another colour a week back and raved about how long it had lasted without chipping. So I thought I'll give it a go. I'm going to test it myself to see how long an application would last on me. I'll update on how it goes. "Wink" is such nice shade of lilac. So chic and feminine. Two coats gave me amazing colour intensity and it dries real quick as well.

I forgot to take a picture of the applicator which is really clever. The square cap pulls off so you get a smaller applicator underneath, which helps with ease of application and is more ergonomic. Precision. Its hard to explain, so I'll post a picture later on.

Luvo time ...

Watched Origin tonight at Ricky's house. Queensland already had it so Clara and I were busy youtubing away. Laughing and excited over Lee Min Ho and Daniel Henney as if we were high school girls. Came across a makeup tutorial parody which was too hilarious to not share! Caution not for those who are easily offended ..
