The book which inspired the lament was The Essential Hemingway, a book I had bought and left at work.
I shut the computer down at 11 with the intent to watch Family Guy and start reading some of my other books which needed a good read.
Then I decided to open my makeup drawer..just to have a look inside.
I ended up picking up my liquid liner and seeing if I could get a smooth line across the lid without using a rest for my elbow.
I was pretty shocked when I found out that I could, then I went a bit further and decided to Cleopatra my eye a bit and this is what happened:
I got a bit brave and decided to see if I could link it around the bottom..
I'm quite pleased with this despite the fact that the liner on the top was a tiiiiiiiny bit patchy but I can iron that out the more I practice. The one main thing I learnt was that you don't get a decent thick line after one go, you need to do a thin line first and then build it up.
The liner in question is a super cheap one from the local chemist, I think it cost me about £1. It's really black, dries super fast and doesn't shift until you remove it yourself and even then it doesn't smudge, it comes off in flakes. If anyone's interested, it's this one:

Nooberella: You know you love them! They're so warm, I've been wearing them to work like a sap but the office was freezing. I know exactly what you mean about the cross over arm thing, I used to do it, you could try sitting at a desk and resting your arm on there. I don't know who I managed to pull this off, it was late and I just went for it.
ReplyDeleteDivija: Thanks :)
Lillian: Thank you :) If you want any more, let me know. I can't wait to see the FOTD's you do with them.
Little Miss Cherry Kisses: You can get it from most places that sell cheap makeup really, like chemists etc..the tip is nice and bendy so that you can control it better.
Inner Belle: Thank you! I do the same with the nails, I wait like 5 mins and then start typing and get pissed off when one smudges.
