When you live in England, there's nothing more important to have in your makeup bag than waterproof mascara and eyeliner - we're going to share ours with you.
Collection Does It All 5-in-1 Waterproof Mascara
This is the third time this mascara has been mentioned on here - yes, it really is that good! You can read our first impressions of it here. I think it's safe to say that we both still love this mascara. It holds up well on the waterproof front and really lengthens lashes well. I do think that it could give a bit more volume to the outer lashes but other than that it does everything it promises.

Seventeen Va Va Voom Waterproof Mascara
Once again we've already mentioned this mascara here. I think we both still think the same about it as we did a few weeks ago and I can definitely say that for me it has shot up the list of my favourite mascaras (although it still comes second to Rimmel Extra Super Lash). We do have a little trick to give your lashes even more volume so come back in the next few weeks to find that out.

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Waterproof Volume Mascara
Now Max Factor is not a go to brand for me and I don't tend to look over their range. But I couldn't let go a 3 for 2 offer in Boots, and after looking for a very long time I decided to sneak a peak in the Max Factor section. I was looking for a waterproof formula, which limited my choice as it was and I'm some-what of a bargain hunter, so I had to look in the same-ish price range to make the 3 for 2 worth while. Now being my only product from Max Factor, I have to say I'm impressed and may have to have a closer look at their stand next time I'm in Boots (I have their Excess Shimmer Eye-shadows on my wishlist). This mascara is brilliant when you just want something to go with every look, and not only volumising but lengthening and curl-holding too! And the waterproof powers managed to withstand a torrential downpour too!

Rimmel Scandaleyes Precision Micro Eyeliner
I didn't actually realise that this was waterproof for quite a while after buying it and it was a very pleasant surprise when I found out. It is described as being able to resist "just about anything, water, heat, sweat, flaking, smudging, for 24 hours" and I think this may be true. It dries very quickly and does not budge during the day but despite this it does not need anything more than make-up remover to get off - pretty impressive! As for its waterproof-ness it certainly delivers. I have never had an incident with this running down my face in a downpour and it even stayed on in the shower once when I forgot to take my make up off. Definitely a good eyeliner if you're looking for black, bold and waterproof. Oh and it's also great for cat flick precision!

L'Oreal SuperLiner Gelmatic Eyeliner
I spoke about this before in our favourites post, a nostalgic product which I have fallen back in love with. Like the Rimmel eyeliner, I didn't actually realise that this was waterproof until very recently but I did wonder why it left me with very fetching panda eyes - even if I do say so myself - after washing me face in the shower. Well that explains it then. Since then, I have pulled this out on the days when the British weather takes a turn for the worse (more often than not at this time of year). Just a brilliant eyeliner!

So what's your go to for those rainy, grey days this autumn and winter?
