My Favourite Mascaras

Mascara for me, isn't that big of an ordeal, I do tend to like each mascara that I buy because my lashes are pretty decent, they don't tend clump easily and have a natural curve which means less hassel with curlers etc. But there are two mascaras - drugstore ones - which I really love and these are... 

Rimmels Extreme Black Wonder'full Mascara with Argan Oil & No7 Dramatic Lift Mascara
Both of these mascaras are amazing, the length and volume they both give is amazing. Neither of them smudge, they don't weigh my lashes down and are both easily removed - so if your looking for a good, inexpensive mascara that gives everything you could want from a mascara, then I highly recommend these two :)

Rimmel - Rita Ora Spring Collection

As you can see I only have five from the collection and I absoloutely love them! The colours I have are, Rain Rain Go Away which is a really muted pastel grey shade, Peachella which is a lovely peach shade, Daisy Days is a really lovely lemon shade - I know it doesnt look it in the photo but thats just the instagram filter, Sweet Retreat which is a lovely pastel baby pink and Wild-er-Ness which is a gorgeous lilac shade.

The colours are all pastel/spring shades which are gorgeous, the pigment is also lovely and the colour comes out really well and opaque on the nails.

The one thing I don't like is the brush, it is almost tapered as some of the bristles are short on the outside and longer in the middle so it makes the initial application a little streaky, so you do need to apply 2/3 coats - but other than that, I love these and you should really check them out! 

Product Review - Rimmel Provocalips

The main reason I bought this product was because my friend recommended it to me... but I must say, I'm not impressed.

The shade I picked was Skinny Dipping and overall, I think the packaging is lovely and simple and the idea is great, but for me, it didn't do what it said on the tin - the Step 1, which is the colour was grand, it was really pigmented and quite shiny and it wasn't sticky or anything, but when I applied Step 2, the Lock & Shine, it literally took away all of the shine and made the product matte and it also made my lips feel quite sticky. 

I do love the colour from this product and maybe I just got a dodgey one? So i may risk trying a different colour or something, but if I do use Skinny Dipping in future, I won't be using Step 2.

Product Review - Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer

This is my holy grail product. I love it, not only is it great at concealing my under eye circles, it's great at illuminating the area and highlighting it. Unlike the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch concealer, this makes my under eye area and any other area which I use it, such as my nose and cupids bow, a shade lighter than my foundation which I love! That is what I would expect from a highlighting concealer, and this one does it wonderfully, my favourite concealer for this by far!

Do you recommend  any concealers that are great at highlighting that I should try out?

Favourite Mascaras of the Past Month

I like I'm sure most other girls, LOVE having big, beautiful lashes. I have naturally long black lashes which does make it easier to be a tad nicer to mascaras. I honestly don't think I've found a mascara that I haven't like, lucky me, but at the same time, I go for mascaras that tend to give more volume over length. 

This past month or so, I have been addicted to two mascaras and these are;

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Flex Mascara 

&

Max Factor Eye Brightening Mascara for Green Eyes

Basically, I use the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Flex first in order to get the volume I desire. What I love about this mascara is that no matter how many time you apply, it will never go clumpy - which is a big no no for me - but I'm so happy to say this doesn't do that! 

I then apply the Max Factor Eye brightening mascara on top - this is because I don't want that much length, though it does add a bit - but the main reason is because I want this mascara to be the outer layer because of the ruby flecks that are in it. The flecks are what help to enhance your eye colour and each mascara has different coloured flecks for the different eye colours. So when I apply this last, it adds a coat of the ruby flecks onto the outer layer of mascara therefore reflecting the light. If i had of applied it first then the Rimmel mascara, i would've just covered them and it wouldn't have done anything. 

Overall I really like this combo and I intend to stick to it until I find a new love! They're also a really good price and won't break the bank - so to speak - and overall are great products!
