Hi my lovely ladies, how are you all doing? I thought I’d quickly show you some STUNNING shoes I saw the other day at the Christian Louboutin boutique in the London Selfridges. I didn’t even look at the price as I was mesmerised by their sparkly-ness!
I quickly read the model name & it was ‘You You’ - if someone could tell me how much they are or if they’re available online anywhere that would be amazing!! Not that I can afford to get them - but I sure can DREAM about it, hehe!
So, back onto the post! I’ve been getting a little bored of wearing black eye liner these days & remembered that I have some different colours.
No7 Limited Edition Spring Collection Gel Liner in Blue - £10
Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner Pen in Navy Blue - £5.50
I recently got the new No. 7 gel liner from their Spring Collection (it looks like a violet colour). It also comes in turquoise & black & after using it, I’m SO tempted to go back for more!! They go on like a treat as well as being super pigmented. I thought I’d pair it with my Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner Pen. Initially, I used this as a GUIDE, so that I wouldn’t mess it up & it would look neat.
I absolutely LOVE the combination of the two as it gives an amazing frosted VIOLET shade! I’ve worn the gel liner alone & it still looks great. but doesn’t give you this exact effect. Its staying power is solid & doesn’t transfer onto your lid either! It comes with a little brush which is also very good to use if you don’t have one in your brush kit.
If you’re wondering, I’ve got ‘Nobility’ by MAC on my lid, ‘Shroom’ by MAC as a highlight, ‘Smolder’ eye liner by MAC & Maximum Curl mascara by Natio on my upper & lower lashes After wearing this for a fair few days now…
I’m definitely DITCHING the black liner!
Okay, maybe I lied just a little! I won’t completely ditch it, but seeing as spring’s coming up it’ll be nice to have a bit of colour on my eyes without having to wear eye shadow. I don’t wear eye shadow on a daily basis & this POP of colour on my eyes is more than enough!
Has anyone else tried different coloured eye liners? Or anything from the No. 7 Spring 2011 Collection that they’d recommend?
Girl, the eyeliner looks really pretty! Your gorgeous brown eyes really stand out!!
Gorgeous! -
Deffo pick up the No7 eyeliner in Turquoise - I love it! I did a post on this one recently and I think it looks amazing under the lower lash-line! Give it a whirl xxx xxx
Thanks hun! I saw it - looks amazing, it’s on my list! Maybe tomorrow as I still have a £5 off voucher left!! LOL x
Hehe, Make sure you do a post on it! - I wanna see how it looks on you! xxx
Deffo will do Neeli x
Oooh pretty! I’ve always meant to try colours, but the black seems to be on me before I realise haha xx
Lol, I’ve got the MAC black gel liner which is good so I’m thinking not to get the No. 7 one just for the heck of it - I’m thinking more of the turquoise one! Yay
Oh that liner looks amazing!!! It’s stunning with your eye colour. (love the shoes too, they’d make amazing wedding shoes if you were getting married!) I have the Bobbi Brown gel liners in Ivy Shimmer and Violet Shimmer, they’re lovely (dark enough for definition but more interesting than black!)
Can I ask, is the liner as purple as it’s come out in the pictures? I MUST have it if it is! I have a warm purple liner but not a cool purple/violet one, but if it’s blue IRL I might pass.
Thanks hon x
Thanks Nazneen! The No. 7 liner alone has a little purple hint to it (kind of like the blue you get in fountain/ink pen - if that makes sense?) It’s a very deep violet colour. But with using my Eyeko graffiti pen underneath it, it makes the purple pop! x
The color is so pretty! I’ve always wanted to try an eyeliner in a different color!
And those shoes are hott!
Definitely go for it, hun! x
im so boring im too scared to ditch black eyeliner. looks lovely on you tho and the eyeshadow is really lovely too. have added it to my wish list! x
Try going brown first maybe? & then slowly trying out more colours? I wanna do a brighter purple & turquoise next x
ahhh i love trying new makeup styles.. mine used to include eyeshadow, now its just UD Sin PP and black eye liner.. occasionally I add a pop of colour to the bottom liner but mostly not lol!
<3
Adding a pop of colour to the bottom liner - I need to do this more!! Lol x
Drooling over the sparkliness of those amazing shoes!
Lol, they’re even better in real life!! x
Love the effect, gorgeous! I don’t usually use liquid eyeliner but you make me want to try it (=
You should definitely try it, it’s so much better than using a pencil x
Hey Kaush are the fiver off no7 vouchers back b? Love how the liners look on you. That eyeko one has no pigmentation. Xxx
I’ve had them since the last round about a month or so ago? & they last till about March time so need to get something quick! Hehe x
Hey girl! You look gorjus, I have to say black eyeliner is boring sometimes…have you ever tried Sleek colour liquid eyeliners and Barry M eye pencils? I have loads but admit I use black mainly! Also I have recently been using my mac eyeshadows as eyeliner and they come out awesome, everyone at work lurved it <3
P.S: I am a new follower and have enjoyed reading your blog. Might start my own blog one day as I so lurve makeup and sparkly things lol.
I’ve never tried the Sleek or Barry M ones but will have to swatch them out next time I’m at Superdrugs! I like using eye shadow but the staying powder and pigmentation doesn’t come anywhere near gel ones for me! Thanks my lovely - you should definitely start one, I’d read it that’s for sure! x
Love that eyeliner!
Thanks Leah! x
The liner looks amazing on you! Love the color.
Looks best with the two liners together but yep I love the effect it gave! Can’t wait to play around more with different coloured liners x
I’ve been wearing non-black eyeliner for a while now too, I love that it’s simple, but you still get that pop!
Yo-yo’s (I think that what they’re called) - especially jeweled CL’s are expensive, I think they run upwards of $1,000 USD. If you google The Purse Forum you can find a lot more info about shoes and people’s CL collections and everything, everyone once in a while I do that and I become INSANELY jealous.
I was seriously contemplating purchasing a pair as a graduation gift for myself, but they’re wayyyy too much for me to be spending on a pair of shoes. But I know once I pay off debts and have myself settled in a nice job and comfortable house and after I’ve donated to causes I believe in (and all that), I *HAVE* to own atleast one pair of Louboutins
Yay - I’m glad I’m not the only one, hehe! Ah I’m so gonna have to do that - but they totally cost like and arm & leg!! But having said that, I know they’d be worth it But then I’d want to wear them everywhere hehe! x
Looks gorgeous. I use black liquid eyeliner everyday but probably should branch out a bit and try something different! x
Definitely go for it, hun x
I love your eyes - so gorgeous! Those shoes are to die for <3 xx
Aw thanks my lovely! I know, I can’t wait to own a pair one day lol x
gorgeous ,, love the liner ,,
Thanks Feef
I use the bright blue in MAC Sea and Sky mineralize duo to do my eyeliner occasionally but I’m too in love with my black eyeliner to use it often! I was going to buy that no. 7 eyeliner the other day but decided not to, but I might just have to pop back to the store to see if they still have it haha xx
Lol, you should definitely go back & see if they have any left! x
Lol, Now that I think about it black eyeliner is a bit boring Lol, same thing everyday!!
Gotta try some other colours, It looks gorgeous On you! x
Lol, definitely try it out hun x
Glad I came across this, cause it reminds me that I also have a purple, blue, and green from ELF cosmetics that totally forgot about. Great post!!

I feel like coloured liners give a more youthful look as compared to black eyeliners too. Love the colour
Deffo, great for the brighter months too! Thanks, doll x
The blue eyeliner looks amazing on you - so tempted to get all three of the No7 spring gel liners now. Was only planning on getting the black one but they all look so good.

I was curious about the N7 gel liners but I heard they don’t last very long. Shame.
