Forget me not....

I've been having a bit of a new year clear out and was hunting through all my makeup, skincare etc I found a few things that I think I need to find replacements for. These products have served me fine for the past year or so, but they don't blow me away, and I think I can certainly improve on them!




Simple eye make up remover stings like a bitch and never really gets rid of all my waterproof mascara; I think I can do better. I also fancy a new liquid eyeliner that a novice like me can use without ballsing it up. The main thing though is brushes. I use my eyebrow brush everyday but it's starting to shed (it was only a pound and I have given it a bit of a battering over the months!) and I really want a decent contouring brush because...well...I don't have one!


If any of you have any suggestions for things I could try as replacements I'd love to know!

Are there any products you're looking to replace/upgrade in 2012?

  1. I'm never completely satisfied with any liquid eyeliner I use! The Rimmel one is good for a cheapo one, especially if used with an eyelid primer. x

  3. I really like the Boots Botanics eye makeup remover as its not too expensive and doesn't sting so you could try that :) xx

  4. I love the Garnier Fresh Essentials Eye Make-up remover. It's so refreshing and works a treat. In fact I use it to sooth my eyes when I'm having an allergy attack. I love the stuff. x

  5. Have you tried gel liner? I find them a lot easier and have a better finish.

    Also for brushes, ELF. I think they're decent for the price :) xx

  7. EcoTools angled eyeliner brush is good and doesnt shed, its a few quid from boots! I use mac blacktrack fluidline with that brush or Collection 2000 felt tip liner for when im in a rush, theyre both really good :) and i use an avon angled blush brush for contouring. Hope this helps! x

  8. Thanks for all the recommendations!
    I use gel liner now and I'm not very steady handed on anything except my water line! And as for brushes, I do love ELF but I really want to pay a bit more as I just think they'll last longer (or I could be totally wrong!!)

    Thanks :D

  9. You could try Real Techniques?

    Or Sigma? They're just as good as MAC but are not as expensive. But they're still not cheap if you get what I mean haha xx
