review | soap & glory supercat eyeliner

Since I've been doing blogilates and eating a healthy diet, suddenly my eyelids have started matching. I used to have one monolid and one double eyelid making me look like I have a wonky face. Now, I can actually wear winged eyeliner and I manage to make myself look semi-decent. I bought the Soap & Glory Supercat eyeliner because I had heard such great things about it and I like the idea of easy application with a pen nib. Here are my thoughts...

The packaging itself is nice and sleek. The cardboard box in came in however is a bit of a waste. The pen is really dark and a true black shade and the nib itself is so easy to use and perfect for liquid eyeliner beginners. However, I found that i was extremely smudgy. I CANNOT rub my eyes, cry or even get slightly teary eyed because it will smudge and then disappear. I'm not quite sure if it's because my eyes are just naturally oily but when swatching the above picture, it did not budge when I tried to swipe it. So errrr, I'm not sure what is happening here.

I spend a long time perfecting that winged look and then it doesn't even last. This makes me angry, especially as it takes me 4 times longer to apply with a plaster cast on  -_-

As you can see, I came home from a hospital appointment with smudged lids. Have you ever had this problem before with this eyeliner or is it just me?

You can buy Soap & Glory Supercat Eyeliner from Boots and it is priced at £6.00

products i've used up #3

Is it time for another empties post? Yes-sir-ee it is!

I've been hoarding these products for a while and I think I've got nice collection here to show you all!

001. Simple Facial Wipes (x2) 

I don't think these really need an additional explanation. Favourite face wipes ever. I may have cheated on them a few times but now I have remained faithful!

Would I re-purchase?: Yes.

002. Clarins Daily Energizer Wake-Up Booster

This is the second one that I've used up. Go me! I do love this toner like product as it has a great fresh smell and feeling but I've branched out and tried a different toner.

Would I re-purchase?: Yes, I would. Probably not right now but I now know that this is a great toner!

003. Skin 79 Super+BB Cream

I've finally finished it! I was at that state of 'oh is it finished, is it not?' for a while but I'm surprisingly glad that I have. One of my favourite BB creams ever (I have a spare back up one so I'm not without!). I've not actually tried any of the 'Western' versions of the BB cream yet. In my mind I would love to (probably the blogger in me!) but I know it won't compare to the Asian ones and I'll just end up disappointed. 

Would I re-purchase?: Yes.

004. Cutex Nail Polish Remover

I'm old school and still use the traditional nail polish remover from a bottle as opposed to those fancy 'stick your finger in this tub of sponge and it'll magically remove your nail polish' thingamigiggies. I'm in that nail painting phase just now so it won't be long until I finish another bottle!

Would I re-purchase?: Yes.

005. Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub

I've been loving using a daily scrub in my morning skincare routine and this is a great product! I used it with my Soap & Glory face mitt and it gently exfoliated as opposed to a harsh grating of the face feeling. It also had a gentle foaming effect which I was quite surprised with. 

Would I re-purchase?: Yes, but not right now. Currently giving my skin a rest with all that daily scrubbing!

006. Soap & Glory Hand Food

Such a great hand cream! This is the second one that I've finished and it never fails to save my dry hands! Apologies for the cut tube, I'm quite thrifty and wanted to get all that lovely hand cream out of the tube! It has that sweet scent that most of the Soap & Glory products are known for. I sometimes think that it's marshmallow in hand cream form! Weird, I know! I apply this every night before bed and sometimes during the day as well as required.

Would I re-purchase?: Yes.

So that's it for another empties post! I'm looking forward to starting afresh again and discovering new products!

What have you been using up lately? Any new products you'd recommend me to try?

Products I've Used Up #2

Feels like yesterday that I was doing my first 'Products I've Used Up' post! But I always love a reason to buy and try new products! So, here's what I've used up lately...

001: No.7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser: This is a dupe for the infamous Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser and is only £5 when bought with those little £5 off No.7 vouchers! This is such a great alternative if you want to dip your toe in the world of hot cloth cleansers.

Would I re-purchase? Yes, but not at full price. If No.7 were doing those £5 vouchers again, I would!

002: Clarins Energizing Gel: A really nice gel like cleanser which is great for getting smooth summer skin!

Would I re-purchase? Probably, but not right now I don't think.

003: Clarins Energizing Cream: Oooh, this is such a great light-weight cream! Again, it goes hand in hand with the energizing gel! Works really well together :)

Would I re-purchase? Again, probably. But there's just so much other skincare products out there that I want to try first!

004: Lee Stafford Hair Treatment for hair that never grows past a certain length: Phew! Could there be a longer title for a product? Smells amazing and my hair felt so nourished after using it! At £7.99 a pop, it lasts a good wee while depending on your use.

Would I re-purchase? I would say yes!

005: Soap & Glory Off Your Face Cleansing Wipes: I love face wipes as much as the next person but I found these a little TOO overpowering. It has that oh so famous Soap & Glory scent which I love, but I didn't like wiping it over my face. I finally managed to begrudgingly finish these!

Would I re-purchase? No. As much as I love the Soap & Glory brand, these just didn't wash very well with me!

Well, there's me gone off and bought a whole new load of skincare! Wooo! Hopefully you'll see them in another 'empties' post soon!

Have you used any of these products before? What have you used up lately?
