China Glaze Holiday '10 Little Drummer Boy

This is from the China Glaze Holiday 2010 collection. Little Drummer Boy is a deep and dark blue with a shimmer throughout. It reminds me a little of MAC Ming Blue. It is very much on the blackened side. If you don't like very dark varnishes then this isn't for you. The consistency of this is thick and pigmented, and it dries pretty quickly. I'd advise a top coat or it can go a little dull. I did have a little problem when removing it as it dyed the colour of the surrounding skin blue, though it was removed after a while with plenty of elbow grease, patience and nail varnish remover! Overall, it is a nice colour, but not the nicest from the collection.

Barry M Liquid Liner - Blue

This eyeliner is fantastic! The colour is very pigmented and beautiful, it applies smoothly and has great staying power (however it is not waterproof). The nib is very sturdy and pointed so it doesn't bend and so it is easy to create clean and straight lines, however it is soft on your eyelids, I think it might be made of foam. For the price in comparison to higher end brands, you really can't go wrong!

MAC Pigment; Cornflower

This is a very glittery pigment, and it has a lot of fallout. It was described as a sky blue on the website, however it is more like a darker purpley blue, it isn't really a pure blue at all. That being said it is a beautiful and unique colour, especially if you like glittery eyeshadows, and because it isn't pure blue even blue eyeshadow phobics might like it! :] If you press the pigment the fallout probably won't be as bad, however I am not a massive fan of glittery shadows, and so I am a little out off by this colour due to all the glitter.
