I FINALLY GOT MY HANDS ON THE BETTER THAN SEX MASCARA!

 If there’s one product I’ve been dying to get my hands on, it’s the Better Than Sex Mascara by Too Faced. It’s maybe the most talked about mascara of the last year, and to say I felt like I was messing out without it is an understatement. So when my local Sephora, A.K.A Life Saver, finally got some Too Faced products in, I ran to be the first one with ALL of them. And yes, I got every single product they had. Unfortunately they only had a small version of the mascara, but I thought it would be better than nothing. 

 As soon as I tried it on, I knew it was perfect for me and I understood what all the fuss had been about. The volume and lengths it adds to your lashes is a beautiful effect, leaving you looking breathtakingly beautiful and confident. It’s not the darkest of mascaras, but it still has that element of darkness, that makes it perfect for an evening look as well as a simple day out. It really all depends on how many coats you apply. If you’ve recently been looking for a new mascara, I one hundred percent recommend this one, as it’s one of the best mascaras I have ever tried. Thank God for Too Faced (and the lovely ladies in the Sephora shop)! Love, Sara xx

MASCARALICIOUS: KIKO

Finding new mascaras that I love is quite a complicated task for me, as I’m very picky on the texture and effect certain mascaras have. 

Recently, as I was looking at Kiko’s new products, I spotted a mascara with beautiful packaging. Perfect packaging doesn’t always mean a perfect product, but I felt like I had to at least try it. It’s the ‘Extra Sculpt waterproof Mascara’ and it is probably my favourite mascara at the moment. The brush is curved, making it super easy to apply and also curling your lashes beautifully. The effect is a sexy dark look, with so volume that it looks like you’re wearing fake lashes most of the time.

 Then I spotted a mascara from their summer collection, that I decided I would try out to see how I liked it. I can definitely say that I was very pleasantly surprised at how dark it’s coat are. For someone like me, who loves having dark eyes and lashes, it was absolutely amazing. 

Most days I use these two mascaras together, to have big dark eyes that last all day long. I’m so happy with these two mascaras, you should try them too.

3 'CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT' BEAUTY PRODUCTS

If I had to say three products that I couldn’t live without, I’d have to go for the Kiss Balm(Kiko), the Colossal Volume Mascara(Maybelline) and the Universal Brow Freeze(Sephora). I chose these three products because they focus on three important features: lips, eyes and eyebrows. 

My lips are naturally really dry, so I need something to moisten(oh how I hate that word) them. The Kiss balm by Kiko is a beautiful product that does just that as well as hinting a bit of colour. I have the colour Tutti Frutti, and it smells tropical and fresh, which is perfect for summer. 

The Colossal Volume Mascara by Maybelline is one of those mascaras that makes your eyes dark after just a few coats. You can choose how much volume and colour you want to apply. I went for quite a natural look, applying only one coat. 

The Universal Brow Freeze by Sephora is my favourite brow product at the moment.  It’s a pencil, that has no colour, and it’s function it to literally ‘freeze’ your eyebrows in place. It’s perfect if you’re having a night out, or even if you just have a long day ahead of you, and you want to be sure your brows stay in place. 

I recommend all three of these products completely, as they are my favourite products at the moment. What are your three favourite products?

BENEFIT-GIMME BROW REVIEW

Brows are obviously an important feature of your face, so having them on pointe is something I strive for. Recently I was introduced to Gimme Brow by Benefit.

It is a mascara for you lashes that keeps them in place even during a busy and hectic day and fills in any gaps you may or may not have.

 I find that, having blonde hair, the light/medium is the perfect colour. In some lights I think that it may just be a little bit too dark, but all in all it’s the lightest colour they have and in most lightings it looks fantastic.

 The brush is really small, making it super easy to apply the product.

Even though Benefit can be more on the expensive side, all their products are most definitely worth it, including Gimme Brow.

If you ever have the chance to pick one up, definitely do, as it is a life saver and I don’t know how I used to live without it.

You can buy it here.

What do you use on your eyebrows?

ESSENCE-I LOVE XTREME VOLUME MASCARA REVIEW

I’m one of those people who buys mascara and then forgets about it after the first time wearing it out, finding it again after a few months and falling in love with it.

That, however, wasn’t the case with the Essence I love extreme volume mascara. I received it for my birthday and started wearing it the day after, wanting to test it and see if it was any good or not. The next day everyone was complementing me on how good and long my lashes looked, but I believed they were just being kind and thought nothing of it.

When I got home I noticed that I still had really dark lashes, something that with other mascaras I have tried has faded throughout the day. I was thoroughly impressed and happy with this product, and now it is by far one of my favourite drugstore mascaras.

 

 

I highly recommend buying it, and it is so easy to find, I’ve seen it everywhere!

What’s your favorite mascara?
