Mascara's That I Heart

I feel like I spend my everyday life trying to find a mascara that will make my eyelashes achieve their fullest length, basically touch my eyebrows. Isn't that the dream? Something that's waterproof, so when i've had a few to many Gin and Tonic's and the tears start to fall, it doesn't mean I end up looking like a panda but not so waterproof that I can't get the stuff off. I'm yet to find this all rounded up into one little bottle but I think for now I am pretty darn close. So here's my current Top 6 mascaras...

L'Oreal Paris False Lash Sculpt Mascara
This is the one I'm currently using, the brush is a master at getting right into the roots of your lashes to give them that incredible length and volume we are all after. The best thing about this mascara which I have never experienced from any other, is the fact that it tightlines at the root which means there is no need to add eyeliner. Theres never any clumps and it fans out them lashes like you've never seen before. Be prepared for all the lash compliments!

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
My favourite of them all, I have been hooked on this bad boy for such a long time. It's a good all rounder giving you volume, length, curl and definition. Build this up with severeal coats and your lashes will be hot to trot. An added bonus is that the waterproof version doesn't take to much graft to get off either - WINNER!

Mac False Lashes Extreme Black Mascara
This is more of an everyday mascara, giving you more of a natural looking lash for those 'no makeup' days. You know what I mean? ... I feel this one is slightly overpriced for what you get compared to the drugstore brands but if the natural look is your kind thing then this is right up your alley.


Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Mascara 
In a nutshell this lengthens, adds volume, separates, won't weigh the eyelashes down, doesn't flake or smudge and really does open the eyes with a slight curling effect for the lashes. If your fed up with curling those lashes, this ones for you! It contains Provitamin B5 and Serin, so its not only gentle on your lashes, but conditions them too! 

Eyeko Rock Out & Lash Out Mascara
The wand of this is guitar-shaped, to coat each and every lash and leave you looking like a true Rock Chick... Sold! This is pricey but worth it, it's very buildable so you can amp up the volume with a few sweeps of this magic wand.

Benefit They're Real Mascara
The classic is all about Volume. The brush is designed to maximize the length of your lashes in two ways: by staggering the bristles so that they can grab your lashes from the root, and by using a custom-domed tip lift to define and curl even the tiniest little lashes. My only issue with this is it's a hell of a lot of effort to get it off.

What is your favourite mascara? Let me know in the comment section.

Lots of Love,

A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING HAUL

As it's the beginning of a new month and pay day has finally happened, i felt like splashing out on a some new bits and bobs that i've had my eye on for a while now.

Topshop is always the one place that I will accidentally fall in to on payday and true to form this week I did. There wasn't much that caught my eye but I did come across this beaut little black, white and blue top. I really love the print and the structure of the top, I don't have anything like this in my wardrobe so it's something a little different. Perfect for work, a night out or as casual wear.

I've been on the hunt for a pair of flat work shoes for a while now. I pretty much spend most of my work days in heels as I need all the extra inches I can get being 5 ft nothing, but I fancied something a bit more comfortable for those days when I can't be bothered with trotting around in my high heels. I found these cute little loafers in Zara for £19, which I thought was a bargain! 

Speaking of bargains, i'm a massive sucker for them and last week when I saw that Feel Unique had 20% of all there Kérastase hair products, I couldn't help myself. For a longtime now, i've been a firm lover of the Morrocan Oil however i'm reaching the end of my bottle and felt like switching things up a little. My mum had recommended that I try out the Kérastase Elixir Ultime Oil as she's been using it for while now and says she loves it. I will do a full review on this once i've tried and tested it!

Next up i invested in three new beauty products, all of these I have heard so much about from other bloggers and youtube beauty gurus and wanted to see what all the hype was about. These are always the purchases that excite me the most and I cannot wait to try these. Firstly I have heard very mixed reviews on the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation. It claims to be a Full, natural-looking coverage with unexpectedly weightless, 16-hour wear. I do love a fuller coverage, so I think this will be right up my street. However there are occasions when i feel a full coverage is just not needed and i always like to have the option of wearing something with minimal coverage. I've heard a lot about the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue and when I tried it on in store i was so impressed, it gave me a beautiful dewy glow with a light coverage which you can build up to medium coverage if needs be. The assistant used the bare minerals foundation brush to apply this and i feel so in love with it i had to purchase it too. Its so soft and blends the foundation perfectly into the skin. I will do a full review on these two foundations in the next week or so. 

Until next time...

Estée Lauder Antique Gold

Estée Lauders Double wear Stay in-place shadow creme in 'Antique Gold' moved in to my daily makeup routine as soon as I tried it and it has had a permanent place there ever since! It really is an incredible product especially for people who aren't extremely confident in applying eyeshadows. It's a creamy mousse like texture and its the first time i've tried anything like this but personally i've fallen in love. The colour is shimmery gold with chocolate brown base tone, perfect to either be worn alone or like i sometimes do, you can use it in the crease of your eye as a contour.

A little goes a long way with this product so don't start with to much on your brush, you can add more later on if you feel the need too. Once the shadow is packed onto the entire lid up to the crease, then I take a soft, clean blending brush and blend the out the edges of the shadow to give it a more airbrushed effect. Don't wait too long as the shadow begins to set quite quickly into more of a powdery form and like its names suggests it stays in-place and it ain't going anywhere. 

And Viola, you've now got a simple but stunning bronze smoky eye that took seconds to achieve! Everytime I wear this eyeshadow I always get compliments on what a nice colour it is, its an absolute winner in my eyes, go grab yourself one pronto!

Ps. Sorry about my not so great photos, i'm using my iPhone at the minute until i can afford something better.

Body Shop Body Butter

I am a big believer in everyday moisturising wether its your face or your body and over time you will begin to realise how obsessed I am with the Body Shop's Body Butter, I'm always trying out other brands but constantly find myself coming back to this product time and time again.

So when I saw that they had an offer on where I could get two for £16 I couldn't help myself.

I treated myself to the Coconut and Cocoa flavours, both of these are for very dry skin and smell so amazing I have at times been slightly tempted to just eat it, however i wouldn't recommend you do so.

Coconut Body Butter
This is my most favourite out of the whole range, it takes me back to summertime as it smells just like sunscreen with its strong tropical coconut scent.

Cocoa Body Butter
This is the first time I have tried the Cocoa flavour, the delicious nutty scent isn't as overpowering as the coconut. I'd say this is a better one for an everyday moisturiser.

Both of these are a really thick rich cream that rubs into the skin well and keeps it really well moisturised. 

What body products are loving at the moment?
