a little mascara review...
heres a few mascaras im currently using and what i think of them
First is No.7 360 Lash at £11.50
This has a fiburous brush with different bristles poking out. This gives a light coating and separates all my lashes to give a really nice natural look, i have a lot of short lashes so it gives them a thicker look and slightly lengthens them. I would say that it gives average volume and average length so overall i really like this mascara!
i would give it 7/10.
Benefit : BAD gal Lash
It has a huge brush, its fiburous and full to get all of the lashes (and skin if a little hasty with applying it). It doesn't give any volume but does give a nice length without making it look spidery but it does flake after a while but mine hasn't dryed out in the tube and i've had it for ages!! maybe end of last year begining of this year. but for £14.50 i think there are better ones on the market.
I would give it 5/10 because it about average.
I have recently bought Loreal volume shocking mascaraIt cost about £9.78. It has a white primer that slightly lengthens and separate the lashes, then the black side with a comb brush. When i first applied it i didn't like it because it just made my lashes clump together but after a few goes and a little bit of practise it made my lashes unbelieveably long, i could touch my eyebrows with my lashes!!! However it comes with a price, it made my lashes look a little spidery but its prefect for those who are looking for length.
I would give this 8.5/10.
Hope you enjoyed and it helped in your mascara choices

my london look entry!
i've finally decided on what look to do, i've chosen a quick simple look with a pop of colour.
its quick and easy because london is busy busy busy..
i used
lemon aid - (benefit) as a eyeshadow base
bo-ing - (benefit) to conceal redness and any spots
face and body foundation (mac)
setting powder (mac)
naked lunch (mac) all over the lid and highlight
omega (mac) in the crease to denfine it a little
fluidline- blacktrack (mac) as the eyeliner and gave it a little wing and not too heavy.
golden fern - lauren luke luscious greens kit- a little under the eye for the pop of colour.
curled my lashes and applyed
no.7 lash 360, benefit bad gal and avon spectra lash as the mascara
desert rose - blush (mac) on the top of mu cheek bones
dallas - benefit- as a contour and a light dusting
147 lip paint (barrym) and nyx sunshine on the lips

my ELF prize! yay!
Oxfordjasmine was on blogtv doing giveaways and make up tutorials, and one of the giveaways was this..
She asked us to type a word and she would pick someone randomly, and she picked me! yippee!
it came yesterday and i have not stopped looking at it or playing with it,
It has the new blusher bronzer duo, which i LOVE, the bronzer its the perfect sunkissed shade for me, nice muted colours and sparkly blacks perfect for a night out. The lip products didn't look long lasting but they are! they stained my lips slightly so that the colour stayed for a good 3 hours!
It also has a brow colour/powder which is also a perfect shade for me, not too dark and not too light. I apply it using the new elf studio contour brush to give a nice soft finish.
So thank you elf and oxfordjasmine for putting this as a prize and i hope that many more are make because i LOVE it!
Thanks for reading!!
an order from..starsmakeuphaven!!
I wanted a eyeshadow palette to hold my mac and elf shadows, so i went searching and they had mac ones on ebay for £20!! which is way too much then i came across starsmakeuphaven, they had loads and loads in there, mac, 2faced and their own brand.
I ordered a 15 pan palette and 2faced lip injection,
The palette holds mac, elf and urban decay eyeshadows and i think its smaller than the mac palette so i love that it fits in my draw and it doesnt take up that much space. It doesnt have a magnet in it and its foam but it was only a few pounds which is cheaper than the mac palettes..but hopefully in 7 eyeshadows time i can buy the mac one. I think it is a perfect size for holiday, i think its the size of two mac quad palettes, just putting a few eyeshadows in to cover all holiday situations.( i customized the inside with a mirror that was in the benefit realness of concealness kit and used a few stars)
The 2faced lip injection was also in the order for a few pound as well, i don't really like this, its soooo sticky its hard to open my mouth when i've applyed it. The tingle is bareable like boarderline painful but not as "fun" and tingly as the sexy mother pucker lip plumper... i felt like my lips were a little fuller but not amazingly...so i think this will grow old in my draw.
