I am a great advocate of a feline flick of eyeliner and consider going out without it as horrifying as going out without clothes on so you can imagine my dismay when my eyeliner pen ceased to draw a flawless black line any more and I didn't have a back up (Boots doesn't exist where I live so this wasn't an easily solvable problem) knowing I wouldn't be able to replace it for a few days - after a bit of a panic - I persevered but ended up looking bloody awful. Then my Birchbox arrived and it was like my guardian angel had been listening to my prayers because there was a gel eyeliner and right then and there I decided I was forever in Birchboxes debt and would never, ever, ever cancel my subscription in thanks, that was until I tried out the gel eyeliner and couldn't get to grips with the little brush. At this point I was about to give up hope and go out with a naked top lid until I had a strike of inspiration and dipped my dried up eyeliner pen in the gel eyeliner which gave it a new lease of life! If you're like me and live in a village that doesn't have anything, you need to keep your eyeliner pen going until you can reach civilisation and don't get on using anything else to apply it with, if you've got something like a gel eyeliner knocking around then get dipping because that beautiful black line will be back!!
Today is absolutely miserable so just in case the weather is getting you down I'll leave you with a picture that made me giggle.

Thanks for the tip, sometimes I just don't have time to wash my brushes so this sounds like a good alternative. And your dog is the cutest ever! I'm in love with huskys and want one so badly.
ReplyDeleteYou can have mine when she's being a naughty girl haha ;) xx
DeleteThis is such a good tip! The brushes that come with gel liners are always pretty pants!

That's so true, you might have the skills but if you haven't got the right products it will look rubbish xx
DeleteDo you know that http://beautyandstylebeat.com/make-do-and-mend/ have taken your post? I found out about this site on twitter apparently stealing blog posts!

Thank you so much for letting me know!! They've taken quite a few of mine and a lot of other bloggers posts as well it looks like. Fair enough they link back but they didn't even ask permission first, I had a quick Twitter scout and it looks like there's a few more angry bloggers which is completely justified as we work so hard on our blogs for someone else just to copy and paste it to make their own website look good with no effort on their part!! Grrrrrr!!!! Thank you again for making me aware xx
DeleteHaha, I know exactly what you mean. I live in a stupidly small village with barely any civilization within it, so if I ever do run out of eyeliner the 12 people that live here will know about it. I don't think I could ever leave the house without any eyeliner on and now I'm just starting to hear how stupid that sounds, BUT STILL I would look like an eleven year old without it. I'm definitely going to try this and see how it turns out next time I run out.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great blog! ♥
Thank you, I'm so glad you like the blog!! How annoying is it?! You can just about get bread and milk but nothing make up related and I know personally which I need more to live! xx
