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

MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation - Review

Hello my lovelies! 

Ahh.. The good ole MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation.. here's the review...



Alrighty, so I've heard alot about this and really wanted to give it ago, so I did.
This is the MAC Studio Fix Powder/Foundation.
This is my absolute go to product and it was one of the first ever product from M.A.C that i bought and tried and i instantly fell in love with the performance of this powder and i could not even find a flaw.
It has a silky smooth texture and it glides on so effortlessly and covers beautifully. For a powder, its one of the most pigmented foundations I’ve found. It’s particularly helpful for those who have discoloration (age spots, acne scars, redness, etc) and with oily skin, because it leaves a super matte (yet flawless) finish to the skin. It’s light as air, allowing your skin to breath and feel free.

This is always a must have for your handbag girlies, I cannot leave the house without it!

RRP £20.50

Revlon Tutti Frutti Colourburst Lip Butter Review

Hello my lovelies, hope your all well! And enjoying any sunshine you've been having, I know we definitely haven't! *sighs*

This is just a review on my Revlon Lip butter what I've been wearing pretty much all the time!!






REVLON LIP BUTTER - TUTTI FRUTTI

Revlon's Colourburst Lip Butters are probably the most popular
lipstick release of the last few years. Everyone has one ( near enough ) or has at least read 
numerous reviews about them.
Revlon claims that these sheer, moisturizing lipsticks contain beneficial
ingredients like coconut, mango and shea butters.
Revlon says that the "gel formula provides supercharged hydration and glides on your lips
like butter. ( Indeed it does )

I'll try to contain myself and not absolutely gush about how much I love the packaging
for these lipsticks.
Each Revlon Lip butter comes in a silver twist up tube with the Revlon
logo printed on the black base at the bottom. The translucent plastic caps are colour
coordinated to each shade. Two sides of the cap have a quilted, textured design embossed into them, the other two sides are smooth.

On me, Tutti Frutti wears for about 2 hours which I can give or take with this, keep it in your bag
to touch up and your good to go!
The entire Lip Butter Collection line is void of scents and flavours, which is a good thing, but at the same time its a little bit of a let down.
I mean, can you imagine how good they would be if the flavour matched its name?!
RRP £8

Alright so that's just a little bit of a review on the lip butter  /  s

Hope you enjoyed it and learnt something about these baby's.

Review- GOSH Growth Mascara

Hello my lovelies, here's just a quick review of this mascara that I have been enjoying thoroughly.


GOSH GROWTH MASCARA


I have been using this mascara for about two weeks now, and have enjoyed 
using it every day.
This plastic bristled brush is fantastic to get right from the water line to the tops of your lashes.
It makes my lashes voluminous and longer.
It is probably the blackest black mascara I've ever used.


This is an 'attempt' of taking a picture of my eye. (struggled)
As you can see they are quite long here, longer than normal anyway!
I love how this gets right down to the roots of my lashes. It also comes off really nicely
which for me is top marks! With other mascaras (sometimes), no matter how much
you cleanse your eye makeup, it will still leave some residue when I wake up in the morning.
NOT GOOD! But with this, A good cleanser and wipes will do the trick,
no more panda eyes!

I got this out of my Glossybox this month, I'm sure its being sold in any drugstore too.

RRP £8

Real Technique brushes - Core Collection

Hello my lovelies! This week I want to be showing you the brushes that I've been enjoying a lot!!

CORE COLLECTION REAL TECHNIQUE BRUSHES


BUFFING BRUSH
 This brush was recommended to me, unfortunately it cannot be purchased singly and is only available within the Core Collection kit. It's easier to applying foundation than the stippling brush by far (keep that for cream blushers), gives me a nice smooth coverage. I don't pack the foundation on, once I've mixed my shade in a palette I dip and build up to the desired coverage. I would recommend this if you like a more finished look to your foundation.

                                                                    CONTOUR BRUSH
I use this brush every single day and haven't had not one problem with it at all
This little brush does everything you want it too, not only does it give 
you the most precise contour, you can use it for blending in your concealer aswell as
using a cream blush.




POINTED FOUNDATION BRUSH
The reason I like this brush is because it's smaller than other foundation brushes I own, it allows for more accurate applications. I use this for my under eye concealer as it always me more & quicker coverage than my other concealer brushes before blending it out.


DETAILER BRUSH
I quite like this brush, if you have any blemishes or any uneven pigmentation you
can just pop abit of concealer on the brush and almost 'pat' it on.
I also find if you dont want a heavy lipstick
and you want a light 'swipe on' you can apply it with this and
it will come out a lot more smoother and precise.



This is the bunch together. Overall I adore these brushes, I use them all everyday
and will carry on using them. 
I definitely recommend these little babies.
The price of the core collection is £21.99

Charlie.
