Review: Revlon Colorstay Crème Gel Eyeliner

I don't tend to wear all that much make-up, but eyeliner is the one item in my weapon inventory that I can't go without. When I've woken up late and need to get ready in a hurry, I find a quick dash of black on the upper eyelid is the difference between zombie and acceptable-for-human-society. When I'm wearing glasses, it stops my eyes from disappearing behind the thick frames. On a regular day, it just makes it look like I've made more effort than I really have. It's the best.

The problem is, so many eyeliners I buy have a tendency to smudge, fade, or imprint underneath my eyebrow (attractive). I ran out of Bourjois Liner Feutre recently, but I hadn't been very impressed with it (the colour always looked kind of diluted), so I decided to try a gel eyeliner. I went with Revlon on a whim - I like their skin products and 'Colorstay' sounded nice and smudge-proof.

Is the news bad for you? And should it matter?

Earlier today, I stumbled across a rather intriguing article entitled 'News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier'. Honestly, I found it by accident because 'Rolf' was trending on Twitter (due to Rolf Harris' arrest) and the article's written by a guy called Rolf. On Twitter, everyone was singing its praises, so I decided to find out what was so insightful about this piece.

Dissertation procrastination and motivation

I think I have about a month til my dissertation's due in, and to be perfectly honest, I'm finding it really difficult to put the pressure on. I have a whole day set aside, but it's 12:35 and I still haven't done anything. In fact, I'm not even dressed. I've watched three episodes of Mad Men, done half of a YouTube pilates workout (couldn't get through the whole thing, don't judge me), and now I'm wondering whether to have a shower then lunch or vice versa. Oh, and I'm writing a blog post.

I know that I definitely procrastinate too much, but I also think that there is such thing as 'good' procrastination. If I'm taking a break from work, I shouldn't have to feel guilty about it if it ends up motivating me. Here's a list of things that I would label 'good' procrastination:

Why do we love @CrimerShow so much?

Some of you may be aware that one aspect of my personality is a certain tendency to get sucked up in and obsessed with things. This can sometimes be a bit unhelpful - like the time I got addicted to listening to every different version of 'On My Own' from Les Mis on Spotify (oh wait, that's now). But it can also be an Extremely Good Thing, and I have my obsessive nature to thank for getting me so emotionally involved in the Crimer Show.
