I recently subscribed to the chic Nessakayy on blogger and did some digging through her blog. As amazing as she was, she had put up a post about finding dupes for the nyx lip liners. Being the bargain freak that i am i immediately went to check it out and lo and behold! i had to get my hands on it.

Okay so its a set of 12 pencil liners with varied colours which is definitely a dupe for most branded lip liners. I got it on ebay for 4.99 which in my opinion is a very good bargain as you would be paying 42p for one, even the cheapest brand, MUA, sells a lip pencil for 1.00 and has only 4 shades!
Whiles this isn't the creamiest of lip pencils it does glide on the lips and and is super pigmented! I find myself just filling in my lips with a lip pencil and wearing a lip gloss over it. So if you are a bargainista like me, i'd recommend you to grab this goody, i mean you definitely cannot go wrong can you?!
Lol!
Stay Fab, Beauties,
Love, Annette

UPDATE:

Seller has since increased the price to 5.59, lol!

I have been experimenting with tons and tons of makeup, and i finally recognise what it is i am looking out for in my makeup. I prefer a sheer to medium coverage with a flawless finish. Simply put, I want my makeup to look like skin. Lol! I am constantly on the lookout for anything that helps with that. So after hearing makeup guru on youtube, Gossmakeupartist, recommend using a makeup sponge, particularly the beauty blender, for a flawless application of foundation, i decided to try it out. He suggested a dupe for the beauty blender same as the one branded by Cosmopolitan which was the same product for less and it did the exact same job. It is also being sold on Ebay for cheaper. So i hopped into superdrug and got myself one.

The sponge is very easy to use, simply wet it with water and dab into your foundation. Then bounce it on and off your face to blend it. That's all! Very easy to do. This simple technique does require patience and the results are excellent, very well blended, flawless and looks like skin.
