Beauty || The One Makeup Item I Can’t Do Without.

AND IT’S NOT THE RED LIPSTICK
Its amazing how inspiration comes to you in the most random ways. The inspiration for this post came to me yesterday morning while I was rush-prepping for work like I almost always do, and trying to decide between rushing back into the bedroom to do a slight face fix up or just head straight for the door.

Now, I’m not a beauty expert and when it comes to makeup, its basically just touch and go for me. I’m mostly always bare faced and un-bothered. But if there’s one thing I hardly go without, its my eyeliner.

I came to this realization yesterday, because as you guessed, I decided to head back into the room, pull out my “makeup bag” and then proceeded to spend even more time trying to decide if to just let the eyeliner go for today and be totally and completely plain faced. The eyeliner won.

This mini obsession with having to draw a “cat-eye” every morning started back in my early university days from an insecurity.
I always hated my eyes – I thought that they were droopy and made me look sleepy and tired. So when I discovered the power of black lined eyes and how it somehow managed to make me look a bit more “awake”, I was hooked!

In case you’re wondering, no this isn’t a sponsored post and not an advertisement for the eyeliner. I picked up this eyeliner off a road seller. Its not a name brand and its definitely not the best out there, so I need recommendations!

What’s your favourite eyeliner? Eye pencil, liquid, khol, gel or powder?

I did a mini review on the zaron liquid liner here, which is definitely one of my faves and the only other one I’ve used anyways.

You would think that with all this my cat eye makeup game would be on fleek, but I barely have a pass in even that. Lol!

I know there are so many colours of eyeliners but I’ve been afraid to deviate from black. If you use any other colour and can swear by the effect it has on your eyes, please sharreeeee.

On this note, I think re-introductions are in order. So guys! My name is Cassie Daves and I’m slightly obsessed with black eye liners.

What about you?
What is the one makeup item in your collection that you literally can not do without?

Can you imagine wearing only one makeup product for the rest of your life?


Shareeee, let me know your thoughts and keep the recommendations coming in please!



P.S

I don’t hate my eyes so much anymore but I won’t say it’s one of my best features either. On some days, I’m still tempted to hide them behind my glasses like I used to do but I’ve definitely accepted them.
