They’re real! I promise!

Okay, okay, okay, yes it’s taken me a few years to jump onto the Benefit They’re Real bandwagon, but I’ve been preoccupied, alright?

Slacking aside, I got a mini They’re Real mascara in my advent calendar this month and I have a few things to say about it.

Walking past this in the shops, I was always wowed by the advertising. You know the one – the image of the girl with nothing to everything. Does this mascara really do what the photo claims? I don’t think so (don’t hate me). Yes, the brush elongates the lashes and the little spikey bit at the end is great for the outer lashes, but I’m just not seeing any magical transformations.

Creme Eye Liner Made Easy

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. That's what this blog post is. 

Laura Mercier's Creme Eyeliner in Graphite has made life easy. As a make-up lover, I have a confession. I am RUBBISH and I mean rubbish at eye liner. Kohl, I can do, but gel/liquid, is a big fat no. 

So this is where the Creme Eyeliner comes into play. First of all it is dreamy and creamy and all things good. It is a great consistency - not too wet, and not too dry, which makes it easy for that swipe on across the lid.
