Mascaras/ Eye Liners

TODAYS BLOG POST!

It's all about mascaras and eye liners!


Now, I'm sure, nearly every girl has got their most favourite eye liners and mascara they use. In this blog post I will be talking about eye liners & mascaras I have been recently trying out/been using for quite a long time. 


These first two mascaras I have been using for about a month now and I absolutely love them both!
Before I go into great detail about them, they are both from the brand 'Maybelline'. Maybelline is a fantastic make-up brand/company that I have been loyal to for quite a long time now, there products just seem to last longer and actually do whats said on the written text on the product.


Now, lets get into a bit more information about these two mascaras. 

The Blue mascara is called "The Rocket Volum' Express". This mascara actually does give volume to your eye lashes, maybe its because, quite a lot of mascara comes out onto the brush causing your eyelashes to look more volumised, on the other hand, some times a bit too much mascara comes out onto the brush, if that happens all I do is, just wipe the mascara brush against the side of the tube to get ride of the excess mascara. 
The Rocket volum' Express costs $7.77 (USA dollar) prices may vary!

The Green mascara is called "The Mega Plush Volum' Express". This mascara is one of the best none-clump mascaras I have. Personally I think that once you apply this mascara your eye lashes spread out and look much more longer! which is good if you have short eye lashes like me... 
The Mega Plush Volum' Express costs $5.99 (USA dollar) prices may vary!

                                     

I've always been cautious with any type of waterproof mascara, I think my main fear is that once its on your eyelashes it'll take ages getting off, with you vigorously scrubbing at your eyes. Which is bad for anyone's eyes and especially if you've got sensitive eyes. So, i put this water proof mascara to the test! with a water fight!!! :D
From the amount of water everyone was throwing at each other, I think its safe to say that this mascara is water proof enough to with-stand a water fight! Later on in that day, after the water fight was over, I went back home to remove my make up with 'Simples' make up remover and the mascara came off pretty quickly.
This water proof mascara is from "SEVENTEEN" which is 'boots' own brand of make-up, It costs £4.69 (UK Pounds)

Both of these eye liners in the picture is from the brand called "Collection"

The first eye liner on the left (black) Is a normal black eye liner, however, I do believe you can buy it in different colours, such as, brown, blue and so on... I like this eye liner because, its like a pencil, but then again, not a pencil eye liner, I generally find liquid eye liners easier to apply to the eye.
The "FAST STROKE COLLECTION" Eye Liner costs £2.50 (UK Pounds)

The second eye liner on the right (which is a blue colour). This eye liner again is black, but, does come in many varieties of colours. Yes, this eye liner is very water proof, I have tested this out during the water fight which I mentioned above.

The final Eye Liner I will be talking about on my blog is the Maybelline "HyperSharp Liner". I've been using this eye liner recently after my other eye liner ran out. I absolutely love it! I personally prefer this eye liner over the two eye liners above, because, with this eye liner you can go as thin as you want to as thick as you want, its a win, win situation

July Favourites

July favourites

First of all i would like to introduce some body spray's, yes, we all use it well, hopfuly!... 
Most of the body sprays i use are from "hollister", as you can see, I'm slightly obsessed with hollister, but, theres one 
that isn't from "hollister" and its from the brand "Soap&Glory". The body spray i like the most is probably the second in from the left hand side.
Which is this one
I think this a great refreshing smell especially for the upcoming summer! Also, its not so over powering that you're chocking to death whilst spraying it over your body/clothes, but, on the other hand strong enough to be smelt when close enough.   
The "Soap&Glory" scent (first bottle on the right hand side of the picture) is quite similar to the hollister special addition scent (pink hollister bottle third in from the left) Its got a slight fruity smell to it! which is nice, however, can get a little sickening personally if worn too frequently.
The "Socal" hollister body spray (first on the left) Is the original smell of hollister! it smells exactly like the shop! (and if you haven't been in hollister before you should! it smells amazing, but, be aware, it is pretty dark in there!) Finally, the last of the body sprays for this julys blog is... Hollister once again... "Beacon's Beach" spray. Now, this is a hard smell to define and put into words, I guess, it kind of smells like lynx with a twist to it!

Secondly, i would like to introduce you to my favourite facial make-up products.

All these products I use on an every day bases and these products are great for sensitive skin! Because, i have sensitive skin, at first i was worried that i might be allergic to these products, but, luckily i wasn't! (but, please, if you do have sensitive skin ,or, are allergic to any make-up products, do a test patch of each product before using them on your face! now, i wouldn't want you looking like a puffy puffer fish!
I first of all use "rimmel's BB cream" which is a great first base for evening out your skin. Its a sort of cream, but, with a hint of colour to it! Its not too drastic like foundation can be. I would recommend this product to anyone who's new to make-up because, its light and doesn't show up too strong, also, it lasts quite along time, you only really need to use a pea size dot for each section of your face you're applying it to. This product costs around £6.99 (in the UK) To see Rimmels BB cream click here

Secondly, i apply "maybelline dream matte mousse" Which is a perfect top cover over the "Rimme's BB cream" I Believe it just gives a smooth finish look to your face. As you can tell, "maybelline dream matte mousse" is a mousse which at first, i was un sure about, however, now, I've grown to like it! I've only recently brought this product and I love it already! This product is a little more on the expensive side its price is £7.65 To see Maybellines dream matte mousse click here
This concealer I absolutely love. Another great product from "Rimmel" I would describe this product like a concealer ,but, shaped as a lip stick, its easy just to pop into your bag when going out. If you've had a bad night sleep ,or, just got black circles under your eyes just dab a little bit of this concealer under your eyes and rub in and those circles that were under your eyes are gone! This concealers price is £4.49 Click here to find the Rimmels concealer
To finish off your look just use some of "Rimmel's stay matte" powder where you feel the need to, you don't need to use the powder ,but, i prefer too, I use the "body shop" brush to apply the powder. You can buy the powder from this link: Click here to see the Rimmel stay matte powder I believe the price is around about £3.99
I brought a little set of brushes from the body shop it was about £13.50 you can find them at this link: To find body shop mini brushes please click on here
