My Top 5 Drugstore Mascaras

Hello again lovelies. If your a beginner with makeup and need some mascaras under ten pound?! Check this out.



  • GOSH Growth Mascara
  • Jelly Pong Pong Mascara
  • Maybelline - The Colossal Mascara
  • Rimmel- Scandal Eyes Lycra Flex Mascara
  • Maybelline Rocket Mascara
okay so..


GOSH Growth Mascara
The GOSH Growth Mascara I got in June's Glossybox and I have fallen in love with it, I use it everyday.
Its a mascara that promises to having lasting results, instead of the normal temporary volume. Thanks to some special growth activators, its said to give you visibly longer lashes after just 2 weeks of use. It has a rubber brush with helps promote length and volume.
RRP £10


Jelly Pong Pong Mascara- 
I also got this in May's Glossybox. Its a really nice mascara, i'm not really sure how to 
describe how it goes on, maybe wet? Is that the word? Putting it in more sense, when you apply it, it doesn't glide on the lashes that well, BUT if you let it dry for about a minute and keep applying it still gives a nice look on your lashes. Not very voluminous.
RRP - Glossybox. under £10.


Maybelline - Colossal-
This was my first ever mascara I ever bought, and have kept re-purchasing it every time it runs out. This mascara does not clump (no matter how many coats you apply), if it starts to clump then you know its time to chuck it out and buy yourself a new one! Washes off really gently with a good cleanser, and it makes my lashes fuller, longer, and voluminous! ALL round favourite. 
RRP £ 7.19


Rimmel - Scandaleyes Lycra Flex-
Its the biggest and fattest brush I've probably ever seen in my lifetime... (no joke) 
It's a really nice mascara don't get me wrong, but the brush I find to big to apply on to my lashes, it goes quite clumpy after about a month, but giving great volume also.
RRP £7


Rocket mascara
I really adore this mascara, a nice sized wand - it doesn't give a big amount of product on the brush which is great because in that way, it will clump. It makes my lashes fuller and longer, and with a cat eye this is perfect, because it overlaps the flick and makes my eyes look AMAZING.
Really easy to get off also. 
RRP- £8

Hope this was handy!

Product Of The Week - Yves Saint Laurent Lipstick. Alternative -Kate Moss Lipstick.

Hello again lovelies, catching up on my blog is a definite must have so I'm posting anything I've missed out on for a while, sorry I've been really busy!

My product of the week today is the Yves Saint Laurent Lipstick In shade 15. I saved up a tiny bit for this product and was debating whether to get it or not, So I made the decision...and it was a good one I made.

YSL Lipstick #15 Coral Extreme.

I had an after party to go to and wanted to jazz myself up a little bit more than I do daily.
So I thought, why not?! Treat yourself, only once in a while that is.

I picked this up at the YSL counter in John Lewis which is a big department store.
The lady was lovely, and giving me tips on these lipsticks. ( She even chucked a few samples of the YSL Serum in my bag, bonus! ) 

I have not only fell in love with the lipstick itself, but the packaging... oh my... *droooooools*
It's the most beautiful product i've seen. The gold packaging, the colour itself and of course the contents. It has a silky creamy texture and glides on to your lips like velvet, definitely a must have!! 

Even goes with my nails...
This lasts for about 8 hours, drink and eat its still on.

Cheeky Selfie of me here.. but wanted to give you all a rough idea of it! 
If your thinkin about spending a little bit more extra for something really luxurious, I definitely recommend 
you all to get one. BUT If you want a dupe, and your on a budget ... Then here is a lipstick pretty much
the same colour, but a little bit more matte.
RRP £24

Kate Moss Lipstick Shade 12.


Alrighty, so this is the Kate Moss Lipstick- 12.
This was my first ever *bright* Lipstick, and as soon as I saw it I completely fell in love with the colour.

This is a little bit of an alternative blogpost so if your on a budget and you dont want to pay out
for a lipstick which costs a bomb, then this is great.

*SWATCHED*

I love these lipsticks, i thinks its quite matte but you dont have to worry about it being to drying on the lips. As long as you exfoliate and moisturise your lips before hand, it will be perfection. Do note however that it does become dryer throughout the day making it more visibly matte, which I quite like.

RRP £5.49

A big thumps up for these lipsticks. I hope you enjoyed this post, little bit different but I like different.

Nails Of The Day

Hello my lovelies, how have we all been keeping?! Well, I hope.

I've never done one of these before.. so don't expect too much but i'll give a shot! ... Alrighty - Nails of the day!!! 


Alrighty, So these are the basics- Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover, Nail file, 
Sally Hansen Vitamin-Fortified Strengthener. Along side of that.. THE colour itself which 
I will get into more detail about down below.


The Instant Cuticle Remover by Sally Hansen is fantastic, I only purchased this about 2
weeks ago and i use it near enough all the time when i'm re painting my nails.
I never really got the whole jist of things - removing cuticles, filing them the right way etc etc.
When I saw this- Mentioned by Viviannadoesmakeup (http://www.youtube.com/user/ViviannaDoesMakeup) I went out and got myself one.

The Vitamin-Fortified Strengthener itself is also really really great. It has a thick brush which is brilliant,
it just glides on your nail with one stroke and done!! It takes about 60 Seconds to dry which is also a bonus.
You might be all thinking why is it blue? It's not, it's clear. I do not have any answer for why it is 
that colour ( must be the ingredients itself ). Anyway, I use this for a base-coat and topcoat, perfecto!


I've seen a lot of people talk and rave about these nail polishes, so when i popped into boots, I came across them.
Theres a big range of different colours, from pastels to metallics to the general colours.

This is in the colour 'BOOGIE NIGHTS' and its a mixture of pinks, reds and oranges.
THE perfect colour for me and really brings out my tan I caught in the sun not long ago!



It's more of an orangey red but has a tiny pink undertone. The best part of these nail polishes is that they 
can get away with 1 coat but i prefer two, and the price is only £2 !!!!

Alrighty so that was Nails of the day, hope you enjoyed!

Sally Hansen cuticle remover - RRP £2.79 (Ebay)
Sally Hansen Vitamin-Fortified Strengthener- RRP £3
File - Superdrug £1
Sinful Colours nail polish 'BOOGIE NIGHTS' £2
