Catrice Gel Eyeliner + My ‘new’ hair

I believe Catrice is a German brand available in few European countries. I picked up few bits from their range when I was in Poland last year. I am really happy with every purchase. Very good quality products for a great price.

Today I wanted to show you Gel eyeliner in 020 It’s mambo no.2


What it claims to do: Thanks to its ultra-smooth gel-texture, you don’t have to be a professional top model to create gorgeous and long-lasting eyeliner looks. The CATRICE Gel Eye Liner can be applied as accurately as a liquid eyeliner – for an especially silky finish and fascinating, intense eyes!

Formula: Soft and creamy. Super easy to apply.

How to use it: There are tons of kinds of brushes you could use to apply it. It’s a personal preference because I think this gel liner works great with any kind of brush.

My experience: Cannot fault it. It has greyish/purpuly slightly metallic colour. Great alternative to black for a daytime. Goes on smoothly and stays put for a whole day. I didn’t notice any smudging whatsoever. The only thing is: ‘you don’t have to be a top model to create eyeliner look’ ??? As far as I know models don’t do their own make-up for runway, photo shoots etc. I think what they meant was ‘You don’t have to be a professional make-up artist…’ but hey!

Price: I don’t exactly remember now :( I am pretty sure it was something silly like £3 or £4!

Where to buy: I know about Germany and Poland. Ebay?

Final score: 9/10 Like I mentioned before I cannot fault it! I had it for a few months now and it didn’t dry one bit so packaging is great too. I am taking a point away for availability. This brand should come to the UK.

Onto the hair:

So here’s my hair… not much difference isn’t there? I have gone for allover highlights in warm blond colour. This made my hair look so much healthier and natural. I have left my long fringe and went for middle parting (how adventurous of me, eh?) I like it but each time I look in the mirror I think to myself ‘I want long hair!’. I have heard about these supplements you can take to speed up hair growth. Any of you heard about those? Let me know.

Catrice UltiMate Nudes and ELF Matte Finisher

One more post before my skin care series!
I have used ELF matte finisher I bought for just a £1 for a first time today. I am little bit late on this but hey ho...better late than never :) I have to say it is little bizarre to have matte nails as I am a big fan of super shiny finish. I do like it thou as it is unusual and quirky. I think it will tame down those super dark colors that sometimes aren't appropriate for the day time. I will be using it again with my other polishes for definite.



Catrice 040 Petit Four As Dessert. Lovely nude with a delicate sparkle. Applies nicely and gives ful coverage after a  second coat.



Matte Finisher on top of Petit Four As Dessert. It definitely makes the color to look lighter. I think it looks quite cool thou :) Oh And ELF polishes are free of harmful chemicals like Toluene, Formaldehyde ad DBP!

What do you think peeps? Have any of you tried matte nail look?
