Review: Benefits's They're real mascara.



I've been meaning to do this review for a while now, but I haven't quite round to it. But today I have the day off so I decided to faff around with flowers which is very production I know, but hopefully these pictures look pretty. I haven't done a close up on my eyes like reviews usually do because my eyeliner wasn't on fleek and I didn't want my poor skills to reflect badly on the amazing product. These things always seem to cheer me up; maybe because they are highest and are that bit more special or the fact that my eyes go from boring to Hello! 

I'll start with the mascara. This mascara is defently not a subtle products. It makes an impact by thickening and darkening lashes. (Trying not to quote the packaging) but I do love the statistics on the box as I much more likely to be convinced if they have statistics. Im a sucker for them. When used the mascara for the first time I expected the applicator to be big and thick like other volume mascaras but it was surprisingly average, but I think that just improves the application so you don't over load your lashes with clumps.
And it lasts all day but the only negative I have is when I tried to get it off I had to really rub my eyes which isn't ideal. It could have been my cleanser that wasn't up to it though.

The eyeliner. I was a little more interested in this product as I've never owned one that has that kind of applicator. I don't know how to describe it, so it's like a pen but at an angle is the best I can do. Again like the mascara it lasts all day and doesn't smudge when you rub your eyes!
I rubbed my eyes in a exam I had recently and spent the whole time trying avoid eye contact with the invigilator because I thought I'd smeared black all around my eyes, but in the end my eyes were still on point and i just probably looked very suspicious in the exam hall. Typical me.
However I would say that it takes some practice to get the hang of the different applicator, but once you get it right you will look amazing!

"On Wednesdays we wear pink."


I'm sorry for that cheesy reference in the tittle, but I am a big fan of Mean girls. Last Wednesday my friends and I actually did wear something pink. That's when I found out that I don't own many pink items, probably because I grew out of the 'wear all pink' stage about 10 years ago. But now I think that pink shouldn't be seen as childish colour, but a colour a mature women can apsaloutly rock!

This wasn't meant to be a pink rant, but a spring favourites, so here I go; I have spoken about the amazing Benefit Roller Lash mascara before as it is wonderful however I haven't worn a lot of makeup in the winter months because my skin needs a rest with the cold weather which results in me getting dry skin. Yay. Not. But I have stuck to this trusty mascara, because it doesn't leave clumps, it stays on all day and I don't have to scrub my eyes red raw to get it off. 

The second thing that I've been wearing everyday is my personalised 'Brigid' necklace because it is so nice to something with my unusual name on. And I prefer silver to gold so that is a plus. On the end of my name there is a little star which I think is so cute. 

Bargain alert! These cool sunglasses are from Primark and were £1! I'm very bad with sunglasses because I either lose them or sit on them . Yes I'm an idiot, but I don't have to be too disappointed if either of those situations occur because I've only lost £1, but on the other hand I still want to lose them because I think the shape are funky and different with a retro vibe going on.

I haven't spoken about this Jimmy Choo perfume in a very long time, but It has continued to be a favourite so much so that I'm worried that I'll run out too quickly so I'm rationing it. I'm afraid I can't just go out and buy nice perfume any day of the week due to my budget, but I'm enjoying the nostalgic smell which reminds me of a bubble bath my mum had when I was little. It probably doesn't smell like that at all but that's what I think of when I put it on.

What are you favourites for spring?

Review. Benefit's roller lash mascara.




Hello, I've done something I probably shouldn't have done. Oh well. I went shopping with my sister a few days ago for fun. It was after payday. I treally wanted to buy something nice and a little more special for myself. That sounds very selfish, but I was rewarding myself. 
I've heard great things about benefit make up and as I have the porefessional primer i knew had to be a least 'alright'. I was right for once. It is fantastic. 

I've been using it for a few days and I've really noticed a difference in the length of my lashes however in you're looking for major volume this is not the product for you, I think Benefit's 'they're real' is better for that. My lashes have never been amazing or thick, but this product is great for everyday and evening as it lengthens, slightly thickens and it doesn't clump up your lashes and stick them together. This my new favourite mascara and it is worth the price. (£19.50) shock horror! 
What'd your favourite mascara? 
Have a great week.

Review: Rimmel Wonderful mascara.



Hello, I just ran out of my old mascara which was the Rimmel scandleyes so I've been looking around for a new mascara. I'm not that interested in having lots of volume especially for school put I just want a bit more length. I came across this in boots and I had heard good things about this product. I've used it now for about a month and I love it. I would recommend this to anybody. It is the Rimmel Wonder'full mascara.the brush is light and gets rid of all clumps so it gives the eyes lashes a long black natural look.
