Eye Of Horus Metal Liner
Sunday, July 24, 2016
Firstly, excuse the state of my face above, I was dying in the heat (it reached 31 degrees celsius in Manchester last week and it is still hot) and hayfever has been awful over the past couple of months too. Anyway, I was very kindly sent a new product from the brand Eye of Horus which I've tried products from before and loved so I was excited to give it a go.
The liner applies smoothly, it's so pretty and best of all, it is SO pigmented! I have tried a few glitter and metallic liners, mainly in the 90's because...90's, and they have always been so patchy and poorly pigmented but this one isn't. It's so quick, easy and fuss free to apply and it lasts ALL day in 26 degrees celsius with no smudging or flaking on me. I can't wait for the autumn and winter months, not just because it won't be so damn hot, but also as I will be able to wear this liner more!
*Eye of Horus Metal Liquid Liner (£16.50, Ancient Pewter)I've tried a few of their pencil and liquid liners before which I really liked so I definitely want to try their products again, especially because the new four liners all have a gorgeous metallic finish. I have the 'ancient pewter' shade which is beautiful metallic silver. It's a freakin' gorgeous shade, it almost looks luminous on the skin and it would be the perfect liner for christmas and new year parties...yes, I'm already thinking about the C word! #SorryNotSorry

Eye of Horus New Goddess Pencils
Tuesday, November 17, 2015
Back in July I received a lovely package from the Australian brand Eye of Horus and they are unlike other brands I've used as not only do they use fantastic natural ingredients but the brand focuses solely on eye makeup, from mascaras to liners which is so unusual but great as they really know what they are doing. At first I wasn't entirely sure about some of the products but I got so much use out of the liners during my halloween looks so I can't recommend them enough!
Eye of Horus have just launched two new shades to their line of Goddess Pencils including a nude and a white liner - the white eyeliner would have been so useful for my halloween looks! The goddess pencils contain botanical waxes and the brand is cruelty free which is fantastic.
The *Eye of Horus Goddess Pencil in Sahara Nude (£15, 1.2g) is a nude, skin tone pencil with peachy undertones and on my skin it is a little dark but on the waterline it matches well. The pencil is creamy, soft and smooth so it doesn't drag the skin and on the waterline it adds such brightness and removes the redness I have so it leaves my eyes looking less tired - it actually looks very natural on the waterline. Even though the longevity isn't amazing, I know I will get so much use out of this pencil. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
I also received the *Eye of Horus Goddess Pencil in Selenite White (£15) which is available on Beauty Bay. I have numerous eyeliner shades in my collection, which does come in so useful for halloween but one shade I never seem to have is white which would have been SO useful for my halloween looks this year. The white shade is pure white and neither of the new shades contain shimmer. Both shades are pigmented and creamy and the white shade is very brightening on the waterline and obviously less natural looking. Using the new shades together on the waterline works really well too as the white offers brightness and the skintone shade disgusted the stark white to make it look more natural but it still provides a bright, wide awake look. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
Overall, I'm so impressed with how creamy and pigmented both of the new shades are and they work so well either individually or together on the waterline to add so much brightness and to cover the redness I get. The longevity isn't amazing but the new shades are well worth a try, I know I will be getting SO much use out of them, particularly the nude shade!

Introducing: Eye Of Horus Cosmetics + Looks
Monday, July 27, 2015
Eye of Horus is an Australian brand that I have seen on blogs previously and also on social media and on the whole I've read great things so I was really excited when I had the opportunity to try some of their products!
I am always looking for a good brow pencil as my brows are slightly sparse and I love the look of full thick brows (think Cara Delevingne). Brows products can be difficult for me to choose as my hair colour is always fading and changing but I want my brows to be quite ashy toned and my brows are also quite unruly. This brow product has a angled pencil on one end and a brow gel on the other. The colour of this pencil matches my brows SO well, it is really quick and easy to use and the brow gel has amazing hold which my brows need but for some I think it would be too strong/hard on the brows, if that makes sense! This product has become an instant love! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
When it comes to mascara I always look for natural effects over full on spider lashes, which I hate. I also look for waterproof mascaras and natural bristles brushes instead of plastic; however this mascara is the opposite. While the brush is plastic, it is easy to use and I love mascaras with which I can slowly build and really take my time (which is rare to find) but this one is great! I can time my time to apply it and it makes my lashes look lengthened and very defined and very black although it doesn't really provide any volume or curl. The mascara is suitable for sensitive eyes, it contains vitamins and it just doesn't clump up...ever. It is easy to remove which is great as I do have sensitive skin and most mascaras irritate my skin when I'm trying to remove them because they are just so difficult to remove. Overall rating: ★★★☆☆, 3/5.
I am a big fan of winged liner, it looks gorgeous on most people but it isn't the easiest thing to master but after years of practice I think I'm pretty good and having a fine tipped liner always helps. This liner brush is just perfect, it is fine but flexible and even though it is a marker pen style brush, it is quick to fuss free to use. I love the brown shade too, it's a nice change from the standard black liner. As you can see from the photos above, I was able to create thin, precise lines and a fine tip to the wing of my liner in a minute or two. My own problem with this liquid liner is that as I was using it it did seem to be a little dry and I think that will just get worse with time but so far it is a great liner. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
I don't think teal is a shade that particularly suits my eye colour but this pencil is just gorgeous. I used it on my lower lash line with some eyeshadows from MeMeMe on the lid. The pencil blends easily with fingers and less easily with a brush or the smudger on the end of the pencil. It doesn't show up too well on the waterline but I would only use this kind of shade on the lash line anyway. The longevity is good on me, it looks vibrant and perfect for summer! IF you are looking for this pencil to be pigmented on the waterline then you will be disappointed. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
Another pencil in the same range of the teal shade; they all contain botanical oils and waxes and they don't irritate my skin and I have eczema around my eyes. The pencil is fairly good on the waterline initially but my eyes can water throughout the day so I don't think it will last very long. The pencil can be used on the lid too, as I have done in the photo above, and with some work it looks gorgeous, in my opinion. It can be a little patchy and it takes a while to get the opacity I wanted but with a shimmer beige over the top it looks so pretty! Overall rating: ★★★☆☆, 3/5.
Bronze shades are my fave for the eyes, I think it suits all eye colours and looks! This bronze shade is so pretty and the pencil is creamier and smoother than the previous two, in my opinion. I love this shade on the lower lash line for extra natural definition. Longevity is pretty good on the skin but again it isn't great at all on the waterline. This is my favourite liner from the three I received and it is the one I will get the most use out of. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
Overall, I adore the brow pencil and the liquid liner as well as the bronze liner. I'm going away for a few days and I have already packed the brow pencil as it has instantly become an essential in the makeup routine - I will be buying another when this one runs out! The liners are fairly good but they can be a little patchy and they don't show up too well on the waterline on me unfortunately. The mascara is great for me as it is SO easy to remove (with a micellar water) and it adds so much definition and length but it's not for you if you want volume. I love the ethos of the brand and the use of more natural ingredients which is perfect for me as I have sensitive skin.
Have you tried any products from Eye of Horus? What do you think of the eye makeup looks I've created?
