Collection Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel Liners


Over the festive period I loved a glitter eye. Doesn't everyone? It's such a beautiful look when you want to feel extra glam! Especially adding colours! The only downside to glitter - the mess. The mess really puts me off doing it and to be honest theres no way to avoid it. You can do your eyes first but there is always that last bit of glitter that doesn't want to remove itself from your face! So I was on the hunt for something I could use instead of loose glitter powder. I searched trusty YouTube and came across this video from Pixiwoo and I had to have the glitter product she used! I was amazed to hear that it was by Collection! The liner is called Collection Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel Liners.

The next day I took a trip to my local boots and headed to the Collection stand and was surprised at the colour selection that was available. There was 6 all together but looking on their website they actually have 14 colours available and I picked out 4 which I think I would use the most. The best part? They were £2.99!!!!! If I hadn't of watched the Pixiwoo video I would never of looked twice at this product. In my experience glitter liners are usually pretty naff and don't distribute the product evenly. This has such fine chunks of glitter in but really does manage to pack the glitter on the lid. I found the best way to use this is too add a crease colour so you don't have any harsh glitter edges and then apply a layer of the glitter all over the lid. It is then best to wait for the glitter to dry then add another layer and keep repeating the process until your happy with the coverage! This product gives no fall out at all so is amazing for people that hate mess!

Currently in Boots, the Collection stand are giving a free mascara when you spend over £5 on Collection make-up so be sure to grab that if you go! I haven't tried the mascara yet but if it rocks my world I'm sure you will be hearing about it in a favourites post.

I'm so excited to rock this look. I think the black will be my most used as I do love me a smokey eye! 

You can pick up the Glam Crystals Gel Liner here

My Current Wishlist

Hey guys,

Today's post is all about products that have caught my eye this month and are making it very hard for me to say no to! I have to keep reminding myself it's nearly christmas!  

This is the first time I have done a post like this so let me know if you like it and especially if you have tried any of the products mentioned. Hopefully I will be hauling them soon enough; if I give into my 
temptation ;)


Illamasqua Fatale Palette£34.00 

How beautiful is this? These colours are completely opposite to what I would wear on a daily basis but I think that makes me want it more! Also the face chart for the palette Illamasqua posted on Instagram kinda sold me too, the colours go amazing together!


No matter what time of year it is I can't stand to be pale, as I dye my hair black I can look really washed out so fake-tanning is a must for me and I do it between 1-2 times a week. I seen this at the Pro Beauty show in Manchester where it was on offer at  £12.50 and boy am I kicking myself for not picking it up now! A couple of my friends did though and they seem to be loving it so I will definitely still be purchasing!



This is the number one product on my wishlist for my pro-kit (and myself ;)) I have heard such good things about this product. Its basically a cream concealer and corrector palette but with the shades you can literally mix up any colour to suit yourself or your client! It will also be perfect for contouring the Kimmy K way! And at £21 for 10 concealers can you really resist?



MAC 224 Blending Brush - £22.50

£22.50 for a brush I hear you say but I love MAC brushes and think they are completely worth the investment, they are amazing quality and really do last for so long! My tutor at college used this to apply cream concealers and it gave a flawless finish and was perfect for buffing the product right in and can also be used to blend out any harsh edges with your eyeshadows! I want about 5 of these for my kit, I do have a MAC pro student card so I can guess that can be my excuse for buying myself a few of these!

Skindinavia No More Shine Makeup Finish - £13.99

As a girl with super oily skin surprisingly I have never tried a setting spray but this is apparently hairspray for your face! It seems to have really good reviews and the rumour is Skindinavia actually supply Urban Decay with their setting sprays! I guess I have nothing to lose but I have high hopes for this baby! 
Beauty Blender Duo - £24.00 

I already own one beauty blender and it seriously is my HG make-up tool. I don't think I could live without it! Mines looking a bit on the rough side now though, no matter how much I clean the thing it still looks filthy, I think that may be staining though. I want to pick up this duo for my pro-kit as it really does give an airbrushed finish! Not only foundation but with my concealers and powders too. 


So there we have it, isn't it a beautiful list :P. Have you tried anything on here? I would love to hear your reviews!
