Mascara's are a girls best friend!



Every girl loves a good mascara. One that makes their eyelashes look long, thick and of course fluttery. What's not to love about that? Great eyelashes can really make an eye look standout and enhance even the smallest of eyes. I myself love mascara and cannot go a day without it. The blacker/bigger the better in my opinion! So I decided to give you my thoughts on four pretty popular mascaras in the beauty world.

Maybelline The Falsies Volum Express: Here in the blogger/beauty world this mascara is a cult classic. Everyone and their mum love this mascara and rave about how amazing it is. I myself, am not one of those people. I myself find the wand to be too big for my eyes and it also manages to leave my lashes looking less than wonderful. It also has at the end of the wand, a bendy bit which I don't get to be honest? The brush comes out of the tube coated in a thick layer of mascara, making it impossible to get a nice even and smooth coat on your lashes. It makes my lashes look clumpy and thick and is just an overall meh mascara. I would rate this mascara 5/10.



L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara: Now this mascara is a winner in my eyes. I adore it! The wand is super skinny making it easy to reach the very base of my lashes without poking myself in the eye or getting mascara everywhere (my nose included). Its one of those plastic wands which I don't personally mind. It comes out of the tube with just enough mascara on it and I find it to be really lengthening and separating  which I love. I can apply two coats to my lashes without it getting clumpy or messed up. Hooray for L'Oreal! I definitely recommend this mascara to anyone looking for longer fuller lashes. 10/10


Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara: Another meh mascara. Also another mascara with a huge wand, this time a conical shaped one. This one is a little bit easier to work with but again does not do much for my lashes. I also stupidly picked up blackened brown! Grr! I am not a fan of any colored mascara other than the blackest of blacks! I did not notice my lashes getting any thicker or longer after frequent use of this mascara so I am not to sure where the Grow Luscious comes from.. I would rate this mascara 7/10 as the formula is not too bad and doesn't clump up much on my lashes.



Two Faced Lash Gasm Mascara: I received this mascara in a kit from Two Faced that I bought on Asos and I had high hopes after hearing so many good things about this brand. The wand is small, plastic and when I first started using this it was great! The formula was lovely it wasn't too wet, it didn't get clumpy on me and it made my lashes look nice. After not too long though I noticed it started to dry out a bit on me. From then on it just went downhill. It does not separate my lashes any more and makes them look stuck together (not a pretty look) I would rate this mascara 7/10 only because it dries out to quickly. Other than that its a great mascara!



So I hope you guys enjoyed this blogpost! If you have any requests just leave a comment down below!

Revlon Lip Butters: Review

Hey guys! Its been a very long time since I blogged. Well to be honest I never really began... :/ This month I decided that I would get my blogging back on track and try to at least do a few posts a week. To start of this kind of new years resolution ( on my blog at least) I decided what better way to begin than with the ever so popular Revlon lip butters.


These lip butters are HUGE all over the internet. People have been tweeting about them, youtube videos have been jam packed with these cute little lipbalms. The two I decided to pick up were 'Cotton Candy' and 'Lollipop'. In my local Boots there was only four to choose from anyways so I had very little choice to begin with.


Ill start off with Cotton Candy. This is a light pink colour with a tiny bit of an almost gold shimmer running through it. Its absolutely gorgeous on your hand and looks very pigmented but once on your lips it doesn't really show up too much. Personally I still like it as I an just through it on and not have to worry too much, but I'm sure most people would rather it be pigmented.


Next we have Lollipop. This is perhaps my favorite out of the two. Its very pigmented even on the lips. Its a bright pink again but more on the darker side and less pastel pink than Cotton Candy. It again has a slight gold shimmer running through it. I personally would have preferred it to have no shimmer but hey what can you do right?


So overall I think the Revlon Lip Butters are great and I would recommend them. As far as them moisturizing your lips, I personally do not notice any difference to mine. The only thing that would put me off purchasing another one of them is the €11 price tag. Steeep...
