Total Intensity Against All Odds Liquid Ink Eyeliner

This was a personal want of mine for a long time. I cannot tell you how long I have been looking for a matte blue eyeliner. It seems like they are so popular but everyone single one of the has sparkle or glitter!

This is a felt tip eyeliner. It's harder to use than your pen-like liquid eyeliners. You have to go over your line again because it's a little like a paint brush - it catches the product from inside the bottle and onto the tip. The felt tip is a little hard, so that takes time getting used to, but you can make a thick or thin line or a cat eye look.

However, the colour is bold yet flattering enough to wear ever day if you like. It's a matte royal blue. It has no shimmer or sparkle to it. It lasts all day. I've had no problems with this lasting compared to my normal liquid eyeliners. There doesn't seem to be a problem running either.

So, if you want a colourful matte liquid eyeliner this is the route to go. I've looked everywhere and this was the only one I found. If you have found any, let me know in the comments!

Tresemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo

I know that everyone has those days where they are really tired, go to bed, wake up, and have greasy hair. It happens to all of us. Before I discovered dry shampoo, it meant that I would have to squeeze a shower into my morning routine or put my hair up and hope that nobody would notice.

Now, I've tried a few dry shampoos before and I really like this one. I found the Dove to last me four uses, and I've had the Tresemme one for about two months now. It does give my hair the appearance of being newly washed and it lasted all day. I don't mind the fragrance when I use it, but it doesn't last in my hair. I know that a lot of people have reviewed that it made their hair even more greasy, but I didn't see that at all.

My only quell is that it gives my hair an odd texture. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's definitely there. However, I will take the slight texture if it means that I can save 25 minutes in the shower and keep me from running late.

*Note* I have shoulder length, straight blonde hair
