Saturday Beauty Steal #10

I've been on a bit of a beauty mission for the last few months to find the perfect coloured liquid eyeliner. Aside from those in LUSH's Emotional Brilliance range, I can never seem to find any bright colours to play with. All I see on the shelves are the usual suspects - black, navy, silver, green and gold.

But then I stumbled across Max Factor's Max Effect Dip-In Eye Shadow in Ultra Violet for an amazing £1.49 at Direct Cosmetics.

What is it?

Max Factor's Max Effect Dip-In Eye Shadow is essentially a long-lasting shadow/liner with high pearl and colour pigments. It does what it says on the lilac tin - you dip it in and sweep it on. Other colours for £1.49 aside from Ultra Violet are Moody Blue (sky blue) and Party Lime (lively light green).

What do I like about it?

You don't see a light purple shadow/liner like this every day - so it's refreshing to see Max Factor (which is becoming one of my favourite highstreet beauty brands for lips and eyes) bring colours like this to market. Also, the fact that it's a product that could be used as either a shadow or a liner is a big draw in itself - it means you can create different looks using one product, going from full-on colour to a funky cat eye.

Why is it a steal?

I would say that Max Factor is a high-quality brand (hello color elixir lipsticks!), so to find a beautiful coloured eyeliner like this for less than two packs of polos is a real bargain. The Dip-In Eyeshadow is all about simplicity, using one block colour and adopting several application styles. And if what they say about colours enhancing your mood is true, you're in for a real sweet treat with Ultra Violet.

Attention all beauty bloggers - I've finally popped my Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter cherry! 

After a long look at all the colours and testers (it was SO hard to choose!), I picked Candy Apple and I'm so excited to add it to my lip collection. 

What's more, there's currently a £2 off promotion going on. So I got it for just £5.99!

And the fun didn't stop there :) I also bought a lipstick from the amazing Max Factor Colour Elixir range. I already have the Ruby Tuesday one which I love, but this one looks really beautiful and berry-like.  

And my final item was one of my favourite highstreet nail polishes - Bourjois So Laque Ultra Shine Nail Enamel. I opted for Vert Chlorophylle, as the colour called out my name and it would be rude not to respond!
