    I bought an eye liner and its really good! It was two pounds, in a bluey colour and has a smudger on the other end and you just twist one end to extened the colour out. Im quite pleased with mine, although i dont know what the quality is like on the other pieces!

    Have only tried the eyeliners myself, got them when they were on sale, 2 for £1 and was quite impressed with them. Dunno how much they are now or if they have the same ones tho.But all in all were pretty good.

    Are the eyeliners soft enough? I've got a Body Shop eye pencil (free from a mag) and it's really hard and difficult to sharpen. It breaks easily when using a pencil sharpener.

    Congratulations on your weight loss! Well done!
  • Another vote for the eyeliners here. They're soft enough to line the waterline without scratching or dragging and my eyes are very sensitive.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • I bought the eyeliner gel which I think is a copy of the Bobbie Brown eyeliner gel. I am approaching middle age and have very sensitive eyes and skin but this worked fine and with an eyeliner brush was very easy to apply - for the first time ever I managed to do the Audrey Hepburn eyes!

    I've also bought the lip and cheek tint. It looks like the colour of beetroot so I wasn't sure but it blends right in and looks very natural - sort of like the flush you get from exercising.
    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!

    I have the cheek & lip tint too and i really like it. I got it for 50p but they're now 10p in my local primark i think.
    Just thought i'd add that it's a lot like benefit's benetint which is pretty expensive so it's a good bargain. I don't like the smell of it when i'm putting it on though.

    Will definately check out the eyeliner next time im in there, my old liquid eyeliners getting a bit dried up.
  • I bought the eyeliner/smudger today, will try it out tomorrow. Was tempted by the face primer but didn't buy it in the end. I think the packaging is great, explains what it's for, reminded me of Benefit products in style (obviously miles cheaper!) Also bought VSIP perfume .... £4!! and it smells really nice. I bought 14 items (clothes as well) in there today for £41 - you can't go wrong can you?

    They do a copy of benefit's high beam and it is the best make up I own! Bargain at twice the price. :)
    Do you need it? Yep. Really? Yes! How have you managed for the last 28 years without it? Erm....
    NO NAUGHTY SHOPPING Bex.

    I love their makeup brushes! They are so soft and are good quality and haven't shed any hairs depite being washed regulary unlike some other more expensive one's I have.
