Bourjois volume 1 seconde waterproof mascara

Hey Guys!

If you couldn't tell, I have been on a review post roll lately, and this post will not be an exception. Today I am going to be reviewing the new Bourjois waterproof mascara for you. I needed a waterproof one in particular because I have serious panda eye issues which i got told a waterproof mascara would magic away all my problems. This was a massive impulse buy, and the shiny shiny packaging and my magpie like tendencies clearly did not get on.

 The wand is a fat and and plastic with short bristles and tiny unusual balls (see picture if my crap description wasn't good enough)
I am in love with the product itself, it still transfers onto my upper cheek but no where near as much. Because of the waterproof formula it holds the curl in my eyelashes incredibly well.
The mascara is amazing at lengthening and separating, it volumizes as well but not as much. No matter how many coats I put on, it never seems to clump. For me this is perfect!

I saw this mascara and it was like all the lights went out in superdrug leaving a lone spotlight on it, heavenly sounds played in my head all the way to the till. I prefer this over Benefit "They're real!" and it's £10 cheaper! I bought this on introductory offer in superdrug ~ link

Maybelline Colour Tattoos

Hi guys!

Today I am going to be reviewing the Colour tattoo cream eyeshadows from Maybelline for you. I own two shades of the cream shadows, : 'On and on bronze' and 'Pink gold'. Both the shades are fairly self explanatory.

These babies last all day. Personally,  I have not worn them for 24 hours but I know that my eyeshadow looks the same when I take it off as when I put it on. The don't smudge easily either. They can be used as an all over lid colour or an eyeshadow base, either way they are fab! I have also been known to use Pink gold as an all over lid colour and On and on bronze as a crease colour, fool proof eyemakeup! I definitely would buy more but the shade selection here in the UK is rather shocking.

Have you tried the Maybelline colour tattoos? What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments!

Impulse buying Haul

Hello Lovelies


I went shopping again. And when I say shopping I mean Shopping. I did some serious damage, but do I regret it? Slightly Sometimes we need to treat ourselves because who else will. Don't listen to me or you might buy too much and justify it with that quote like I did. Bring on the haul.

The first place I went was Superdrug and oh look at that, they had a 3 for 2 offer on. So naturally I went a little teeny tiny bit bonkers. I do not recommend going into Superdrug at the moment unless you have serious self control.

First purchase, oh hell to the yes. I've been wanting to try some of sleeks cheek products for a while, as always most of the blush by threes and face forms were out of stock. But i picked up this nifty little compact with a contour and a highlighter. I know the contouring powder looks scarily dark but you can blend it to look somewhat natural. I must admit, I am a fan of heavy contouring. Looking like a tanned goddess wotsit somehow doesn't seem like a negative thing to me. - link

Now I had been lusting after this for around 48 hours, justified purchase? Definitely. The Revlon lip butter in 'Berry smoothie' is an absolutely gorgeous pink everyday shade, A little more sheer than 'sorbet' but definitely buildable. I laarve it. - link

I was in desperate need of a waterproof mascara, because I 'suffer' with mascara transferring onto my upper cheek and leaving me looking like a panda. Still my favourite animal but not so cute on a teenaged girl. I sadly report that I still find this begins to leak down my face but not as much. It is an amazing mascara with a fat plastic want. This is currently on a introductory offer at superdrug. - link

Then I made an incredibly and out of character-ly spontaneous purchase from benefit. I know, crazy right? The lovely lady at the benefit counter put Gimme-brow on me and I loved it. After a brief discussion with my friend I was with, I bought it. I am not absolutely in love with this product as I assumed I would be, but I do know that my brow game has been on point for the past few days. -link

My last stop on this shopping trip was Topshop. I bought two things.

I bought this Hand of Fatima/ Hamsa hand silver chain necklace. - link

I also bought this blue and cream patterned scrunchie, this was just calling my name as I walked out of Topshop and I just had to buy it. God I sound like a spoilt brat in this blog post. - link

Conclusion - I bought things I didn't really need with money I didn't really have. But I love it!

Until next time,

Facemask Friday!

Hi Guys!


A few weeks back I picked up this little gem on offer in boots. I know it doesn't look much but do not let the packaging fool you.

This facemask tingles, whether or not its meant to, it does. Personally, I love this because I think it shows it is getting down into your skin and doing its magic. Not just sitting on the surface looking pretty. It feels incredibly refreshing on my face and there is a pleasant cucumber scent to it. It is a clay mask so it hardens on the skin. When washed off your face feels brand new, Softer and clearer.

Not bad for £1.50, eh? - link
