Bourjois Volumizer Mascara

Bourjois Volumiser MascaraPrice: £10.49I picked this up a few weeks ago after having a peruse around Boots, the packaging and the fact it was currently on offer instantly had me popping it in my basket.

Guaranteed clump-free'Step 2- 'The brush transforms to create a spectacular...

Hair Knowledge

When I first left school I couldn't decide what to do so I went on a year long hairdressing course, it was a while ago but here's a few things I learnt and you might find interesting..Receeding hairlines/hair loss pattern is down to your fathers side of the family, not your mothers. So if your dad has a good head of hair you should too!Using a hairdryer in a downwards motion, especially with a brush will help smooth the hair as it flattens...

Mac Espresso Dupe

If anyone read my 'Perfect Eyebrow Shade for Brunettes' post I mentioned an Avon quad I used to own and loved before it became discontinued.. I'd never thought on searching on Ebay until my mum suggested it, but I had a little browse last night and there it was, my beloved Avon quad in 'Sueded Nudes' and for only £4! Some of the shades look as if they have slight shimmer but I've never noticed any once applied, I'd consider them more as...

Current Hair and Body Favourites

Phil Smith Extreme Style Hairspray - I was sent this a few months ago along with a few other products and this has become a firm favourite. I can't usually use hairspray or perfume because oddly it makes me really sick and give me a huge headache but this smells fruity like melons and coconut, mmm! It doesn't feel crunchy yet holds your style.St.Moriz Dark Bronzing Mousse - Newest addition to the St.Moriz range, one application of this...

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Review

What they say: 'A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day.'What I think: The MSF Natural was one of my first purchases from Mac, normally I steer clear of powders. I despise the powery, cakey finish it instantly gives your skin and how it takes away from the finish of the foundation...

Fake O.P.I

After months of lusting after O.P.I polishes on other blogs I decided to treat myself to a varnish with some Christmas ££. No-where near me sells O.P.I so I opted for ebay as the majority of beauty bloggers I've checked out get theirs from there too.I found a pale milky pink colour that looked pretty, it didn't state the colour but said it had never been used and the picture showed it in plastic packaging. A mini bidding war later and £8.50...

New Favourite Lip Combo

As some of you may of seen in my recent post I picked up the Mac Blushcreme in 'LadyBlush' and this has easily become one of my favourite products. It looks gorgeous on the cheeks and after having a little play about with it the other day I discovered that it looks lovely on the lips too!I never usually steer away from nudes but recently I've noticed that when I reapply my lipstick whilst intoxicated that I get a bit heavy handed and end...

Perfect Brow Shade For Brunettes

I've been trying to find the perfect brow combination for years. I had it down a few months ago using an unbranded angled brush that was the perfect thickness and was firm enough to create the perfect shape but not create harsh lines. The perfect brush combined with a dark shade from an Avon quad gave me the perfect brow..But, like all things good they break, become discontinued or get lost. In this case, Avon discontinued the eyeshadow...

Collection 2000 Big Fake False Lash Effect Mascara

Most of you have probably seen the Big False Lash Effect Mascara being featured on the PixiWoo's Youtube Channel. This is the main reason I picked it up, along with the fact it's only £4.99 and I've seen a ridiculous amount of rave reviews on this mascara!First off, the wand is huge, I'm talking Benefit Bad Gal mascara wand huge which I really like. The packaging isn't too terrible, a bit cheap looking but it's something most people would...

Mac Ladyblush Blushcreme

Some of you may of seen this mentioned in my Haul post the other day, as an early Birthday gift my mum brought me a few Mac goodies. 'Ladyblush' blushcreme had been on my wishlist for a while so I was overjoyed when I finally got my mits on it and it didn't disappoint!Mac's blushcremes retail for £16.50 for 6g which I don't think is a bad deal. The blush is really pigmented so a tiny swirl of your finger will pick up all you need for both...

Rimmels Worst Mascara So Far

Where to start..The packaging is hideous, it's a really cheap plastic shiny tube - hideous neon green with pink writing. The twist off lid feels really flimsy and the wand is horrible. The shape doesn't look too bad at first I've used curved brushes in the past and usually they make life easier, this however definately doesn't. It's hard to get into the corner and outer lashes without catching all the rest at the same time! Then we have...

Christmas Giveaway Winner

I owe a huge apology for not announcing my giveaway winner sooner but finally here it is..I planned on using random.org but after the horrible task of moving names over to excel I got onto the 112th entry and boom, it crashed and I didn't fancy repeating the process. Therefore I got my unbiased little brother to scroll up and down with his eyes closed, stop. Then pick a name from the ones he could see on the screen. That left me with.Jess...
