1 Minute review! L'Oreal Paris Miss Manga Punky Mascara Blue

Let's get straight to it. I (like everyone else) love Loreal mascara. However... The "Miss Manga" formula is probably my least favourite. It's weird considering I like spider lashes but there you have it!! I am a walking contradiction. When I saw the brilliant blue of this new shade though I had to give it a go ; 

It's most definitely the bluest mascara I have ever used!  It looked a bit shocking on my lashes but made a nice change for holibobs 

The formula appears to be the same as the normal "Miss Manga" mascara but the colour pay off is amazing. This particular one isn't waterproof but didn't flake or smudge on me either 

After trying the full on look, I then put it just on my lower lash line. I think I prefer this look as it's more subtle but still brings attention to the eyes

Would I purchase this again? 

Only if I couldn't find another formula with the same colour payoff.. If you want BLUE lashes then this one is for you! I also should point out that I do have my lashes tinted however at this point they were pretty blonde, which may have intensified the colour "pop"

I personally will stick to boring black with my "L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes So Couture mascara" for the time being. 

*BRAND NEW* Benefit Rollerlash mascara! First impression!

So this mascara is so new, it's not even avaliable to buy yet! How did I get my paws on one?! Elle UK magazine are giving away samples of this product in their March issue, on sale now. I may have bought two. Sorry not sorry. 

Here is the sample, not as big as the mini "Bad girl lash" sample, but big enough all the same. CUTE packaging! 

First I applied my Jane IRedale lash conditioner like I do all the time, then this baby

Apologies for the blurry picture, I have a black bedroom and trying to take a photo of a black mascara wand was enough to make my iPhone have a bitch fit

At first when I was applying it, I wasn't impressed. The brush is the type I like, hard and spikey (OI OI!) but it was frustrating me. I literally sit and apply layers of mascara for about 20 minutes straight while watching Netflix in the mornings so I decided to move on to my other eye. 

Voila! This product (I found) layers much better once the first ( or second or third in my case) layer is completely dry. It definitely curls, it does lengthen but more than that, it grasps all my lashes, including the teeny tiny sorry excuses for hairs that normally just fall into my eye and drive me mad all day. 

Do you love my half bus selfie? Also please ignore my red upper lip, it's not a mustache promise! It's cold and my skin likes to do fun things like turn red and blotchy when it's freezing outside. 

Anyway enough of my bad selfie justifications, basically I'm converted. Once I knew how to use this stuff right, I loved it. I'm still to see how it wears in the day, but honestly the formula seems fab so I can't see it going anywhere south. 

It's fab, give it a try! 

Ps pick up your magazine fast if you want to try this product, or order it online, as being a world exclusive I can't see it lasting long

That's all for now xxxxx

1 minute review - *BRAND NEW* Maybelline lash sensational

I'm one of those rare creatures that actually replaces their mascara MORE often then recommended. I have sensitive eyes and am slightly OCD about my lashes. Just as I'm thinking I need a new mascara this one comes out, and as it was £5.99 on offer I thought I would give it a shot. 

## this photo is stolen off the Internet and does not belong to me ###

It promises to multiply your lashes and pick up the smallest hairs to make it look like you have loads of lashes. I think it does do this.. I just prefer LONG lashes personally. It does what it says on the tin and I like the unique wand, but I think I will not repurchase once it's gone and will stick to my Maxfactor/Loreal formulas. 

Ps excuse the awful lightning that makes me look like I've never slept, I took this photo outside while waiting for the bus! 

Has anyone else tried this new mascara, and if so what do you think?! 

1 minute review - Loreal volume million lashes so couture so black

First of all,  please excuse my otherwise unmade up face. I'm having another lounge day ( lucky girl!) as it's New Year's Day but couldn't hold off trying thia mascara. I don't think it's new, but I'm very fussy with mascaras so don't normally buy new to try I stick to what I love, but this came in a free gift box because I spent over £15 ( on the new nudes palette which was a disappointment, let me know if you want a seperate post on this!)

I'm lucky enough to have long lashes but only about 3 of them! Very impressed with this mascara. Brush is nice and stiff (personal preference)  easy to apply without covering my face in product, gives me the length in used too but holds up to its promise for extra volume. Really liking this product and may be a new favourite! 

You beauty discovery advent calendar days 9,10&11

Hi guys!  

Doing this a few at a time now, it's just easier and makes a slightly longer, hopefully helpful blog post

So day 9 brought me this 

Teez mascara! I ADORE the packing of this brand and the only other thing I've tried from them is a makeup brush that I love. I'm slightly OCD with my lashes so will test this out on a day where I'm not doing anything in case I hate it 

 

Day 10 brought me a handy little pot of Burt's Bees Almond milk hand cream 

As you can see it's a generous sample and not much smaller than the full size 57g one that retails in boots for £9.99. It's smell isn't one I would choose as it's got a slight marzipan scent and I hate marzipan! But it has a beautiful creamy texture and my hands always hurt in the winter so I'm looking forward to having this in my bag for emergencies. 

Day 11 brought me something I was impressed with, but that I personally would NEVER use as I'm pale as the snow. For that reason it is being donated swiftly to my boyfriends sister, who will definitely enjoy it more than me!  The product is a facial tanner and it also comes with a face friendly size mitt, which I really liked. 

As I don't tan, I have no idea how this performs. I can tell you that the product retails at full price on the website for £17.50! 

I'll be back soon with the next few days offerings soon. I can honestly say I LOVE this calender and it has really made my mornings having it to look forward too. It's also definitely worth the money with all generous sample sizes so far. I would definitely recommend, it's like getting a little present every morning for month! 

Any of my followers have a beauty calender? If so who is it by? Are you enjoying it as much as me?
