Mascara Review

If you were to ask me what the one makeup product I couldn't live without was, it would without a doubt be mascara. I rarely wear eyeliner so I like to have mascara that will add volume and thickness my lashes, without too many clumps.

I've tried and tested a wide range of mascaras trying to find the perfect one and I must say I've come pretty close, I now tend to use a small range of mascaras day to day depending on the look I’m going for. Here are a few of my favourites;

Rimmel London SCANDALEYES

Rimmel Scandaleyes £6.99

Also mentioned in My Everyday Makeup

I usually layer this on top of a lengthening mascara as Scandaleyes provides a lot of volume to my lashes however if used on its own will leave me with short, clumpy lashes. If you prefer more natural looking lashes, this mascara is not the ideal one for you as clumps do form however they can be controlled by wiping some of the excess mascara off the applicator brush. You can see from the size of the brush that this mascara will give you very thick and full looking lashes.

L’Oreal Miss Manga

L'Oreal Miss Manga £8.99

Also mentioned in My Everyday Makeup

This is one of my favourite mascaras; it adds both length and volume without a lot of clumps. The applicator brush allows you to easily get right into the lashes in the inner corners of your eye.

Maybelline The Rocket Volume Express

Maybelline The Rocket Volume Express £7.99

The Rocket Volume Express mascara isn't good or bad, it does the job of a mascara however doesn't have much of a wow factor. It gives more of a natural look to what I prefer and never gives me clumpy or stringy looking lashes.

Rimmel Lash Accelerator

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless £7.99

This mascara is great for lengthening lashes as it has added fibres, it has a very think and long applicator wand which makes it really easy to apply. It doesn't add much or any thickness to the lashes so is better for a more natural look.

Benefit Bad gal Lash

Benefit Bad gal Lash £17.50

This mascara in my opinion if fairly similar to the Rimmel Scandaleyes however it’s a lot less clumpy and thick so overall doesn't give the full lash look. It provides volume but not to same extent as Scandaleyes.

What's your favourite mascara?

Topshop Unique AW14

Every lfw I always,without a doubt watch the Topshop Unique show and this time was no different. The AW14 show took place earlier today (16/2/13) and I was glued to my laptop screen watching the feed on topshop.com,which as always ran 'fashionably late'.I thought I'd share with you guys three of my favourite looks from the show,so here they are.

Topshop Unique AW14

Topshop Unique AW14

This look was by far my favourite from the whole collection, I love the layers, the brown tones and the different textures.The light brown/yellow snake skin appearing from underneath gives this look added depth and the big statement coat is a perfect staple piece for autumn/winter.

Topshop Unique AW14

This look is a perfect example of school girl chic.The monochrome colour palette gives the look a smart and sophisticated feel, paired with the mini skirt and over sized fur coat to give it a stylish, slight edgier look.

Topshop Unique AW14

This look is so feminine and one of the more classier looks from the show. The dress can be styled many ways for different looks and is a lovely,versatile autumn winter piece.

Soap&Glory Products Review

For Christmas last year my sister got me the best gift I could’ve asked for, a whole load of soap and glory products! Now, you may be able to tell this already but, I LOVE soap and glory, from the quirky little saying on the products to the retro 60s inspired designs there’s almost no faults! However seen as this is a truthful review my overall opinion on the brand itself won’t stop me from saying my honest thoughts on each, individual product.

 The Scrub of Your Life

This product itself is my absolute favourite out of those I got for Christmas, the name of this exfoliating scrub in my opinion is totally suited to how perfect it is. It’s has a fresh, girly almost citrus smell which seems strong when in the shower however doesn’t remain on your skin (so it isn’t too overpowering). On the front on the product it quotes ‘once rough elbows go suddenly silky’ which is true for this product, after just one use I found a significant difference in my elbows and knees as they went from dry to smooth and silky, which is definitely handy in the cold months.

Left: Sugar Crush £6.50
Right: The Scrub of your life £7.00

Sugar Crush Body Wash

This body wash has a creamy texture which lathers up with water, however about 5 pumps (or more) are required for a rich lather. The scent isn’t really to my taste; it says it contains lime oil which is definitely noticeable and I personally prefer more floral and sweeter scents in body products. However I do find this body wash very conditioning to my skin leaving it smooth and soft all over, so if you prefer more citrus smells in your body wash this product is a 10/10 for you.

The Righteous Butter

The Righteous Butter £10.50

The smell of this body butter is perfect, it’s fresh, not overly sweet and when I apply it after my shower I’m in heaven! The scent remains on my skin for a long time, I tend to shower at night and when I wake up I can still smell it subtly on my skin. It absorbs quickly onto my skin and leaves it feeling conditioned and energised, this is one of the products I’d definitely repurchase over and over again.

Butter Yourself Moisture Lotion

Butter Yourself £10.00

This moisture lotion is lightly moisturising, definitely not like butter, and is perfect for just quickly touching up dry knees and elbows in the day. The scent for me is slightly masculine, which I’m not a fan of so I rarely use this product just maybe as I said to touch up dry elbows in the day.

Heel Genius Foot Cream

I must say this is one of my favourite foot cream I’ve come across, even though I usually  tend to like fruitier smells, for my feet I like a nice fresh smell which this product provides. It’s a very rich cream and requires a lot of rubbing in and does take quite a while to full absorb in so is better to use before bed, not in a quick rush to get out the door.

Left: Hand Food £5.00
Right: Heel Genius £5.50

Hand Food

I’d wanted to get my hands on this for quite a while now as I’d heard so much about it on other blogs. It has a very similar scent to Righteous Butter that I mentioned above and has a very similar rich texture as the Heel Genius Foot cream, it very much like a mixture of those two products. I do like this hand cream and it is intensely moisturising however I would prefer one that absorbs into my skin a lot quicker as this one does take quite a while.

Mist You Madly

Mist you Madly £6.50

I use this mist every single day, I tend to spray in on my coat and a little bit in my hair as I love the floral scent, it’s quite a subtle scent which I really like as I can’t stand over powering body mists/perfumes. It’s a really lovely subtle mist to quickly spritz on just before you leave the house in the morning.

Peaches and Clean

Peaches and Clean £8.00

Another one of my favourites, this cleansing milk just ticks all the boxes! It easily removes waterproof makeup in seconds without stinging or leaving the skin feeling dry. It has a lovely peachy smell and makes my skin feel smooth and ready for bed

Thick and Fast Mascara

Thick&Fast £10.00

I’m a massive mascara lover and when I get to try out a new one my excitement levels overload, so I just couldn’t wait to try Soap and Glory’s mascara. However the Thick and Fast mascara did nothing for my lashes, it didn’t lengthen them, lift them or provide any extra volume, so to be completely honest I was quite disappointed by this product.

My Everyday Makeup

Hello readers, welcome to my blog! As this is my first blog post I thought I’d do a ‘getting to know me’ but still beauty related post, so here it is, my simple every day makeup.

Foundation.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation 'Beige' £9.99

My everyday foundation is the Bourjois healthy mix foundation, now I know Bourjois foundations have very mixed review but personally I love this foundation. It promises a healthy glow with a flawless complexion, and I can honestly say it provides exactly that (and a lovely, fruity smell).

I pump the foundation out onto the back of my hand and apply with the Topshop foundation brush. It’s easily spread, not too thick not too thin, and one pump is just enough to perfectly cover the whole of my face.

The coverage is medium-full as it covers all my blemishes and redness of my skin but isn't too thick so it can still give you a natural, fresh look.

Mascara

L'OREAL Miss Manga Mascara £8.99

Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara £6.99

I have a very unhealthy love for mascara, I can’t leave the house without it on and I like to apply multiple layers of it onto my top lashes.

First I begin with the L’OREAL mega volume Miss Manga mascara, this mascara adds length and volume my lashes and is perfect to get into the inner corners of the eye as the applicator brush is shaped perfectly to get right into the corners.

Then, as my lashes just can’t have enough volume I apply the Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara on top, the applicator brush of this mascara is HUGE so if you like natural looking lashes this is not the mascara for you.

Lips

Models Own Lip Balm 'Red Hot' £4.00

My natural lip colour is extremely dull so I like to add a subtle pop of colour to brighten it up. For this is use the Models Own Lip Balm in the colour ‘Red Hot’, this lip balm if applied liberally will look like a bright, red lipstick, however that’s not the look I want for everyday so, I lightly dab my finger into the lip balm a dot in onto my lips to give a natural-looking red tint.

Cheeks

Bourjois Illuminating Touch Powder £5.99

To finish of my look I like to add a brush of the Bourjois Illuminating power onto my cheekbones to give a healthy looking glow to my face. This powder is extremely subtle and when added to your face gives no colour just a small shimmer.

I hope you liked my first post!
