This post is the first addition to my 'weekly wishlist'! Every week i'm going to scour the web to find a few key pieces, mainly beauty related - - some not, that i want to get in the following week/ month/ year??

This week i've incuded Cliniques Anti-Blemish Solutions, which is basically a toner in which Clinique are calling a 'Clarifiying Lotion'. Clinique are claiming this product to be "Gentle, exfoliating formula clears dead surface cells and reduces excess oil that can lead to breakouts." I've been looking for a good toner to reduce excess oils, at the moment i am using Simples Kind to Skin Soothing Toner (review to come...) and want something thats aimed more towards oily skin types.

I've also included Revlons Matte Lipstick in Pink Pout - - i've been looking for a toned down baby/ barbie pink lipstick and this one seems perfect! It's a nice shade but still quite understated and wont look too over-the-top which is perfect!

Topshop Kohl Eyeliner in Black

                                                                                                                  Topshop Kohl Eyeliner in Black - £4.

Last weekend I went out shopping and picked up Topshops Kohl Eyeliner in the shade Black. I have heard plenty of bloggers say just how worth the money this product was, so I thought I must try it out! I always- - always wear eyeliner, I find that pencil and 'kohl' eyeliners are easier to apply than liquid and gels... and you don't have to wait for them to dry with is a plus point in my book.

Before I came across the Topshop eyeliner, I used the  Collection 2000 Khol Eyeliner Pencil 1 (Superdrug £1.99) religiously. I always just went and brough the same one, dismissing all other options! Then I heard all about the Topshop one, at first I was hesitant... I mean Topshop is a clothing brand, and in my opinion make up from clothing brands is never up to scratch.

After trying it out on my make up free face hours after purchasing, i have officially converted. As you can see in the photo above the colour is so pigmented, it's the darkest shade of black eyeliner I have ever seen/ used. It has good staying power and when wearing it for 9 hours i had to touch up only once - - enough said! On top of all of this the product is so creamy, by just swatching it on my hand you can see just how soft the tip of the pencil is, which makes it 100x easier to apply.

The one and only complaint I have is how 'smudgy' the product is, once applied try not to rub your eyelid or half the eyeliner will end up on your hand - - but considering this product is priced at only £4 you can overlook this slight hiccup!

I hope this review helped you when trying to find a new eyeliner, or encouraged you to look for at all the options out there! Leave a comment with your favourite eyeliner, or your opinion of this one.
