Review: MUA Pro-Base Concealer

I have been loving to wear this, along with my pressed powder, with my BB cream, or sometimes just on its own. It helps to even out any imperfections in my skin tone, as well as brightening my skin (without making it greasy). Here's the colours explained

Peach – This warms up any blue hues around your eyes (i.e. covers up your dark circles, and makes you look away). Plus, you can also use this to cover a bruise if you’ve had a bump.

Lilac – Use this to brighten dull skin tones and counteract yellow tones, so it makes your skin look more healthy and vibrant.

Yellow – This works especially well on olive and tanned complexion to brighten around the eyes and so for me didn't have a HUGE impact.

Green – This will neutralise red tones in your complexion, and for me is perfect, because I naturally have quite red skin.

Even though the colours each have their own special quality, I tend to just use all of it all over my face, just as an extra foundation.

The only downside of this product is that you have to carry it round with you, because it doesn't last particularly well, and so you have to 'top it up' every sort of 4 hours, which isn't always ideal, but I still love this product!

Plus, it was only £4! Bargain!

Review: Fleur De Force The Glam Guide

I recently picked up Fleur De Force's new book, and I am in love. I am not a book review expert, and so I am going to make this short and sweet.

This book contains everything you would need; beauty, hair, fashion, travel, health, love, and even a note on YouTube and blogging. It's full of great information and cute little cartoons of different beauty products. This book is written in a really elegant way and I have learnt so much from this book. Also, I love the whole pink theme, it's sorta sweet.

This book was only £12.99, which is the price of most books like this, and this is by far my favourite! I can't recommend this enough!!

No.7 Anniversary Present

This is a cheeky way for me to do some shopping... and a review... all in one! No7 in a Boots brand that I don't own much of, except from a Toner and a Lip Liner. But with two offers on I just had to go! 

Boots are currently giving out those tokens they do all the time, £3 off No7 Make Up and £5 off No7 Skincare. On top of this, No7 have an offer on to celebrate their 80th Anniversary, and so this is my views and thoughts of this.

The No7 80th Anniversary Gift Box is worth £24.00 and is free with the purchase of any two No7 makeup products. The box contains three great products, as well as a golden ticket entitling you to a FREE Match Made Lipstick of your choice.

The three items I purchased (yes, I know you only have to buy 2, but, I can't help it);

 - High Shine Lip Crayon in Delicate Pink £9

- Precision Lip Pencil in Pink £6.75

- Stay Perfect Metallic Eyes Pencil in Purple £7.50

And then with this I received the box. In which contained three little products. A skin illuminator, and intense volume mascara, and a glittery purple eye shadow. Inside was also a voucher to get a free No7 lipstick, this is probably my favourite thing. When Boots usually do offers, they just contain a lipstick, which although is still nice, it's not always a shade that would suit me, or a shade that I would wear, and so having a token to buy my own... yup! I'm happy!

This offer is amazing, No7 makeup is high quality, well priced, you have a £3 off voucher, AND you receive this free gift. Seriously, what more could you want?!?!?!?!?

Review: Benefits They're Real Mascara

This is the first 'high-end' mascara I've ever owned. Purely because everyone's always told me that drugstore mascaras are plenty good enough. But, I saw this in Boots while I was there and thought I would give it a go, and I am so happy I have. This mascara is amazing.

The staggered bristles on the brush help to both comb through my lashes and grab every one and coat them in the product. The brush gets right to the tip of the lashes, helping to add volume and length. This is something some of my other mascaras I have claim to do, but it doesn't always work. However, this mascara really does. The last thing to mention about the brush is the tip, it's said to be a 'precision tip', and although it does help coat the smaller lashes that the brush doesn't initially reach, the product tends to be a bit thick here and so this makes this part of the brush difficult to work with. However, overall, I love the brush to this mascara, which is amazing because it's something I'm usually really picky with.

The product itself is a no-clumping formula, which, as long as your remember to 'wiggle' the brush as you apply it (which it does tell you to apply it that way on the packaging), this is very true. It both lengthens and thickens. It says online that it curls as you apply it, which I don't see, however, if you curl with your eyelash curler first it does help keep the curl, so maybe that's what they meant... although I doubt it.

The last point about this mascara is both a positive and a negative. This mascara is super long wearing, I found I get no fall out, it doesn't smudge, or move, at all. And so, if I'm going out for a day and don't want to worry at all about where my makeup is going, this is the mascara I use. However, it also makes it difficult to get off. You can, but you have to rub your eyelashes between your cotton pad (or whatever you use to get off your makeup) to get it to budge. 

But overall, I love love love this mascara. It may be nearly £20!, which is more than I would normally pay for a mascara (and is one of the negatives (I think) of the product, because there are so many brilliant products for under £10). However, I think this mascara is amazing, and I am so happy I picked it up.

Review: Zoella Beauty Range: Tutti Fruitti

There are a lot of negative connotations surrounding bbloggers releasing merchandise, but I've always been incredible supportive. I currently own many of the bbloggers books, but I am yet to try any of their beauty or make-up items. 

I have always been a huge fan of Zoella, and have watched her videos for a long time, and when I saw on her second channel that she was releasing a new beauty range, this time influenced by Tutti Frutti, I just wanted it, I love anything fruity scented.

There are seven products in this range (the only product I'm missing is the Cosmetic/Coin Purse). The products I picked up were the Fresh Fizz Fragranced Bath Fizzer, Kissy Missy Lip Balm, Let’s Spritz Fragranced Body Mist, Candy Cream Softening Body Lotion, Foam Sweet Foam Cleansing Shower Gel and Scrubbing Me Softly Smoothing Body Scrub. The products range from £3 to £8, which is incredible affordable!

Fresh Fizz Fragranced Bath Fizzer

I've never been one for bath bombs, I prefer bubble baths, as I feel they always leave your skin feeling better. So I went into this with a skewed opinion anyway. But this smells nice, it fizzes away for about 5 mins, which gives you something to watch. And the packing is adorable, and I love the fact it looks like a chocolate bar. 

Kissy Missy Lip Balm

Ok, I just have to say, for £3, this is amazing. I think I'm going to leave it in my bag... always. It's super hydrating, with a pop of colour which you can build up or leave as a light stain. And although the colour doesn't last for ages, it just fades instead of going patchy or sticking to dry skin on your lips, and, as it's a lip balm, I love reapplying it anyway, plus it's super easy. This is amazing, like super amazing, such a great handbag product.

Let’s Spritz Fragranced Body Mist

I love this packaging, the lacing in the background is so feminine and just beautiful. The spray is even and nice. I don't think the scent is as nice as the body lotion or shower gel, but it's still nice, and it's strangely refreshing on your skin. So, I'll definitely still be using this.

Candy Cream Softening Body Lotion

This is another product that I think I will buy again, and again, and again, and... yeah you get the idea. It smells divine, it rubs into the skin really nicely, I love the little pink beads that burst as you rub it in as it's a nice touch. Plus, I used this before I went to bed, and woke up in the morning and my skin felt so soft. I love this, I think it's my new favourite body lotion and will definitely be in my August favourites.

Foam Sweet Foam Cleansing Shower Gel 

I used this in the shower before bed, but I think it's more of a morning scent, it's so refreshing and strangely uplifting I think this shower gel would be perfect in the morning. Other than that, it's just a nice shower gel, and the packing it also beautiful, which is definitely one of my favourite things about this range, everything looks so cute and adorable.

Scrubbing Me Softly Smoothing Body Scrub

This is another one of those products I think is going to be in my shower for a long time yet. This shower scrub is the right balance between gentle and harsh (although I don't think harsh the right word, but you know what I mean) enough, you feel like it's really giving your skin a good clean and exfoliated, while still being gentle and soft. It's also gently moisturising, and although I would still need to use a moisturiser as well as this because I have dry skin, I think this is a great bonus, as I find some body scrubs have dried out my skin in the past.

Overall, this range is amazing, apart from the bath fizzers (which is just because I'm not a fan of bath fizzers as a whole), I'm pretty sure I'll be buying these again, and the body lotion and lip balm are incredible. I think Zoe Sugg has done incredibly well with these products. They are affordable, fun, beautiful products that work and smell delicious, and if I was her, I would be super proud. I love them!

Latest In Beauty #3:The Glamour Summer Edit

Latest in Beauty have teamed up with Glamour Magazine to put together this box of treats for only £17.99, considering the joint price of these products is worth over £90, which is incredible, and there are some products in here I am really really exited for! I just couldn't not get this box.

Nails Inc. Gel Effect Polish £15.00 Covent Garden Place - Another one of these! This one is such a vibrant, barbie pink, and I love to put this colour on my lips, so a great addition. So exited!

Vita Liberata Trystal Minerals £23.33 - This is a new beauty launch of the year, and I saw it advertised online about a month ago, and it really intrigued me. It's a powder that you brush over your face, and it looks a little like a light dusting of bronzer, but it develops a natural looking tan that says it will last for 5 days. So. I'm very intrigued.

Pixi Glow Tonic £9.99 - People in the blogging world have been raving about this tonic water for ages, but it's fairly expensive, so I didn't want to try it and then hate it, so this sample is great as it allows me to give it a go.. for free (? no really not free, I paid for the box... but still)

L'Occitane Shampoo and Conditioner (Full Size £17.00 each) - I would never pay £17.00 for shampoo or conditioner, but I have super long hair, and these are meant to be relaxing (as the contain essential oils), so I'm going to use these on my next pamper evening, it's going to be so relaxing!

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon £7.99 - I already own the red shade of this and absolutely love it, so much, it's so easy to apply, it stays in place for most of the day (I only have to touch up after I eat lunch, and dinner), and the colour is incredible. In the box I recieved the pink shade, which is basically a 'your lips but better' shade, so I'm so happy I have this, like you have no idea, I really want to collect all the shades! (I sound a bit mental...)

Caudalie Divine Oil (Full Size £27.00) - This is a multi-purpose product, which is exiting. You can massage it into your skin and hair for a great summer glow and you can add it to your bath for a super relaxing bath. So, what more do you need?!

Seekers Of The Sun Luxury Temporary Tattoos £4.99 - I haven't really go into these, but next year (I know, very planned in advance), I'm planning to go to the 'Common People' music festival (in Southampton, where I'm studying), and so I will probably use them then, and probably not before, but they're really handy things to have.

Balance Me Super Toning Body Polish (Full Size £18.00) - This is an ultra all in one! It's a exfoliator, toner and a moisturiser all in one!!!! OMG!!!! So, you massage it into problem areas to remove dead skin cells and smooth out the skin, so it's going to be great! I just know it!

Eucerin Transparent Sun Spray £16.50 - This is a super high SPF (It's SPF 50!), and it's just a simple spray on, it doesn't need rubbing in, so your hands don't get sticky or anything. So its a really hassle free SPF so, really really handy.

Latest In Beauty #2: Capitol FM

This is the second box I picked up, and I think it may be my favourite because some of these products are what I've been wanting/looking for for a long time, but here is what it contains;

Latest in Beauty has teamed up with Capitol FM, to create a box full to the brim of holiday, festival and party picks for the summer this year! For a box worth over £57.00, paying £17.95 for this is an absolute bargain. I have to admit, I picked this up because I was going to buy some of these products anyway, and it actually made it cheaper to buy all the other products with it, so who could complain really?!

Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balm in Berry £2.99 - I absolutely love Lip Balms that have a colour tint to them, because you can both place a colour on your lips and care for them at the same time. And Carmex are renowned for their Moisture Plus Lip Balm, so this was something I would've eventually picked up anyway.

Colab Sheer and Invisible Paris Floral Fragrance £2 - I really wanted one of these, as they're meant to rival the Batiste Shampoos (which are one of my staples), and so this is one of the products that drew me to this box. It's in a small, travel friendly size, and so ideal for in my handbag and for weekends away. Absolutely perfect.

Dr.Organic Organic Dead Sea Minerals Bio-Plasma Mud Mask £7.99 - I love face masks, and although I have dry skin, and so sometimes find these types of skins dehydrating. But I love to give my face a good cleanse, so I'm exited to try this anyway.

Fudge Urban Hair Art Sprays £3.99 - I've always wanted to try some products in my hair that will colour the ends and I can just wash them out. Because, I love my natural hair, and I'm really indecisive, and so it's great that I don't have to commit to anything (haha!). This is a purple (my favourite colour) hair spray which I'm going to spray onto the bottom of my hair like a dip dye... really exited for this!

Hawaiian Tropic Satin Protection Ultra Radiance £6.49 - This is a factor 30 sun lotion, which says it's ultra radiance. Not much more I can say about this really, it's basically a moisturiser with factor 30 in it.

I Love... Perfectly Peachy Bath and Shower Creme (Full Size £2.99) - I'm looking for a bubble bath come shower gel for my bath that isn't lavender scented (which I use to help me sleep), and so if this is nice, it's really affordable to buy the full bottle (as this is only a sachet), so if I like it I will definitely buy more.

Malin and Goetz Trio - I've never even heard of this company, but they're little samples of three of their products that contain extra natural elements to supply extra vitamins into your face. So, I can't wait to use these three products;
Grapefruit Face Cleanser

Vitamin E Face Moisturiser
Lip Moisturiser 

MUA Mega Volume Mascara £3 - I really love MUA makeup, and my current mascaras are coming to the end of their life, and so if this works, it'll be great to replace one of them.

MUA Eyeshadow Pallet £4 Poptastic - I don't often wear bright coloured eyeshadows, but I really love the gold colour here and I know I will get a lot of wear out of this colour, and it's just a great addition to my collection anyway.

Nails Inc Gel Effect Nail Polish £15.00 Soho Place - There is one of these in all three boxes I have, and this one is the most gorgeous green, with the subtle hint of blue undertones. It's so bright and vibrant, and so summery. I am head over heals with this colour.

Latest In Beauty #1: Get The Gloss

I went on Latest in Beauty this week, and bought three boxes which all arrived yesterday, and so the next three days, I'm going to write my initial impressions of the boxes. I absolutely love these boxes, because you can see what you're getting in the box before it actually arrives, and it's not a subscription service, so you can just pick them up when and if you want it.

Latest in Beauty teamed up with Get the Gloss to bring together this box of 8 summer must-haves, at at the combined worth of over £85, Latest in Beauty are selling it for only £19.00! So, I can't wait to give some of these products a go.

Philip Kingsley Swimcap £12.00 - My hair gets stripped by chlorine, because it's so long and thick, my hair care gets excessive, very quickly, and so I love to try new things out. This says it helps to protect your hair against damage from swimming pools, so.. this will be helpful all year round, as I love to go swimming!

Nails Inc. Gel Effect Nail Polish £15.00 (Regents Place) - I've recently become obsessed with Gel Effect Nail Polishes (mainly the Barry M), and although I wouldn't personally pay £15.00 for nail polish, I am exited to see how much the money difference will make in terms of chipping (as I think the Barry M Gellys are incredible). Also, the colour is absolutely gorgeous! Have you seen it?!

Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Refine and Polish Miracle Balm (Full Size is £57.00) - This is a small tester of a product that claims to be both an instant exfoliator and a face mask in two. The full price of this is really expensive, so I'm so exited to try this and see what it does for my skin.

Salon Science AquaCacteen Hydro Soothe Cooling Spray £14.00 - This is to help re-hydrate your scalp, which is a problem most common in summer. The bottle you get is huge, and I doubt I will ever get through this, but it's a nice product to have in my cupboard for the days my scalp feels like it needs it.

Anne Semonin Eye Express Radiance Ice Cube (Full Size is £43.00) - You get one sample of these eye solutions for dark circles and puffiness. It's formulated with marine spring water with minerals, it helps refirm and moisturise the skin. And I only have one, so I'm guessing it's one of those products that has noticeable results with just one use.

Elemental Herbology Cell Plumping Facial Hydrator SPF8 (Full Price £42.00) - Just a simple (but very expensive) face moisturiser. I have a lot of problems with the skin around my eye, and am yet to find 'the perfect' (if that's problem) face moisturiser. And so if this does actually work, I am so desperate I would probably buy it...

Bourjois Aqua Blush £8.99 (Pink Twice) - I saw this in Boots a couple of weeks ago and nearly picked it up (good job I didn't really). It's a liquid blush that's applied with a 'chubby' stick, and I am so exited for this. It's quite sheer. and so very blendable but also buildable. So I am so exited! You have no idea!

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR £14.95 - Not entirely sure what this is for.. It says its an oil for hair, face and body for moisturising, but it's glittery and gold... so not entirely sure what I'm doing with this, but I'll give it ago, and report back if I find some strong opinions about it.

This box is absolutely great, and I really recommend you pick it up (however, I always think these boxes are great...). You can't argue with the value for money, and if you want to find out more about it, the link is here.

Filthy Gorgeous Magnetic Nail Polish

I picked one of these Nail Polishes up while I was in Norwich, as it was on sale and it really fascinated me. They had two colours on sale; a metallic red one and a metallic green one, and I thought I would get more wear out of the red one and so I picked this one up. I couldn't wait to try it out and see how it actually looked on my nails...

The science behind this nail polish is relatively simple. The nail polish contains magnetically charged iron oxide pigments which create the rippled effect when they are magnetised with the magnet.

This is the shade Heartbreaker, and I have to admit, I absolutely love this shade, I think it's absolutely gorgeous. The polish is designed to be applied in one coat, which to start off with I wasn't convinced it was going to work, but it looks absolutely stunning. The colour pigmentation is really strong and it didn't chip for days. Absolutely love this shade as a standard nail polish.

To create the rippled effect, you apply one finger at a time and while the polish is drying, you hold the end of the nail against the small ridge. It says the magnet needs to be held near the nail for 5 seconds, but simply 1 second does the job. It's a really simple process, and although I smudged the nail polish a few times this go round, it got easier by the third nail and it would be something that would be really easy to pick up.

However, I really don't like the effect it creates, it makes your nails look clumpy and strange, and although I think this nail varnish looks stunning without the magnet, it's not something I think I'll be doing again all too soon. Although, it may be because either my magnet was faulty, or I was just doing it massively wrong, but this was how I felt about this nail polish.

Superdrug Haul

MUA Cream Blush, Scrummy - £2 I have one of the powder brushes from MUA which is absolutely stunning, considering it's only £1, so I thought I'd try a cream blush. I am yet to try a cream blush, and don't know if they'll be entirely my thing, so I thought I'd try a cheaper one to start of with. Even though it's only £2, MUA products are actually incredible.

MUA Trio Eyeshadow, Innocence - £2 These are baked eye shadows, and look absolutely beautiful. I went with the trio of more neutral shades, as these shades are the ones I use most often, and so I thought they'd be the most wearable.

MUA Lipstick, Tulip - £1 I have heard great things about these lipsticks, and I really wanted to try them, because if they really are as good as they say, then it will allow me to try colours (such as dark purples) that I would've probably not for a smaller cost. To start off with I tried a relatively 'safe' pinky colour, as I absolutely love wearing these shades and so I thought it would be a really nice shade to start off with

Collection Blush, Cheeky - £2.99 I don't own many blushes, but this pink blush will be a great addition to my collection, and it is really buildable and blendable. 

Collection Deluxe Lipstick, Prohibition 01 - £2.99 The packaging of these are not incredible, but they were less than £3 and their creamy formula felt really nice when I swatched it on the back of my hand, so I had to pick them up. This is a dark, almost berry toned, red, so although it's quite a wintery colour, I still really wanted to pick it up.

Collection Deluxe Lipstick, Talullah 02 - £2.99 This is a far more summery colour, its a dark pink, nude colour, and it looks beautiful, so I picked up this shade as well, not more I can say really.

Rimmel Long Lasting Lipstick, Drop of Sherry 058 - £4.99 I've bought many of the Kate Moss range of lipsticks from this company and absolutely love them, to pieces. But, I don't own any other ranges of lipsticks from this range, so I thought I'd pick one up. It's a slightly shimmery, berry tone and looks absolutely stunning. I love this lipstick, and I absolutely love Rimmel lip products, I think they are my favourite as a whole.

Rimmel Apocalips, Atomic Rose 206 - £6.49 I am yet to own one of these, I know I'm very late on the whole band wagon. but, I picked one up now. This is a matte shade, and is a dark peachy pink, I was put off these at first because the way they apply on your lips is like a lip gloss, and I don't really get on with lip glosses, I find my hair ends up getting stuck to them, and they drive me nuts. But this, on the lips, is more like a moisturising lip stick, and so I actually really like these, which surprised me. 

Boots Haul

There was 3 for 2 on both Max Factor and Maybelline makeup, and so, I just had to make use of it. 

Max Factor Colour Elixir, English Rose 510 - £7.99 These are a mixture between a lip butter and a lip stick. They are really hydrating, and I often forget I'm even wearing any colour on my lip. Unlike a lip butter, the pigmentation of these is incredible, and the colour range is right up my street. English Rose is like a classic shimmery pink, it is absolutely beautiful, and shades like these are what I wear as an everyday lip, so it will get a lot of use.

Max Factor Colour Elixir, Dusky Rose 830 - £7.99 This is still a pink, but much darker, much closer to a red. It's still an 'everday' colour. Although this shade and the previous are quite similar, I love the formula of these lipsticks, and so just had to have another one.

Max Factor Colour Elixir, Pink Brandy 825 - £7.99 And because of the 3 for 2, I picked up this third shade, which is a more coral toned pink. Coral shades are perfect for summer, and so when I saw it I really loved it, and had to pick it up

Maybelline Colour Sensational, Stellar Pink 150 - £4.99 I know a lot of people who own these, and love them, but apart from that, I know little about these lipsticks, and so wanted to pick one up to try it out. I bought it in a purple toned pink, which is a shade of lipstick I am yet to own. The colour swatch for this showed that their pigmentation was incredible, and I am really exited to use these. 

Maybelline Colour Sensational Shine Gloss, Stellar Berry 360 - £6.99 I've never been one for lip glosses, I find they make your lips sticky, and your hair then gets stuck to them. But I really want to get into them, and so I chose to try out this, as I actually picked it up as my third item to give it a go. It has a really high pigmentation, and it's berry colour makes it ideal for winter... which it isn't right now, but it still doesn't mean I'm not exited to use it.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo, Creamy Beige 98 - £6.19 I already own three of these, all in very shimmery shades, and when I saw this I had to pick it up. It's a beige colour, and is more of a matt shade than the other three I own, and so would be more ideal for an every day, neutral eye base.

New Beauty Find: Beau Belle Make Up Brushes: Review

Make up brushes are really expensive, considering a large proportion of make up can easily be applied with your fingers, I've never really invested in a really good set of brushes. I saw these on Amazon just over a month and a half ago, and just had to get them. They just looked gorgeous on the photos, and the price is incredible. They are reduced from £44.95 to £19.95, and so are well over half price, and a really great deal considering you get 13 brushes as well as the holder in which they come.

Considering 'Real Technique' brushes are at least £10 per brush, and these work out as about £1.50 a brush, I really wasn't expecting them to be anything incredible, but I really wanted to try them, so I ordered them anyway. 

Had a bit of an issue with delivery, which was up to the fault of Royal Mail (the courier service they use), but when the seller was made aware of this, they were really quick to fix it and really apologetic, and it was really appreciated. 

When they did arrive, they were gorgeous. The box they come is gorgeous, it's this deep, chocolate brown, leather like material, it separates into two half and connects together with little pop hinges. It's something not every company would give you, and I think it's really nice, and makes them really portable and keeps them safe.

I still haven't found a purpose for a few of these brushes, but there is literally everything you could possibly need in this set. The brushes are amazing, and the handles and detailing is beautiful. The brushes are so soft, they feel really nice on your skin, and apply your makeup in a delicate, effortless manner. 

You get 4 face brushes; a powder brush, a contour brush, a foundation brush, and a general face brush. The powder brush is by far my favourite of all of them, it's super soft, and although fairly dense, it doesn't apply too much powder on, and so doesn't leave your face feeling too cakey, which I find some other powder brush do.

You get a small angled brush to do your eyebrows and a spoolie to comb everything into place, I haven't reached the point where I do much to my eyebrows, so I don't really use these, but they feel soft on the back of my hand...

You get 4 general eye brushes, and 3 very small, precision brushes, which can allow you to apply eyeshadow and blend it out, and the quantity of brushes is amazing, it really helps to apply eye shadow, and some of the small precision brushes would be ideal for liquid eye liner. 

Just in case you wanted to know where to get hold of them, I bought these brushes here.

For the price you pay they are an unbelievably high quality, and the seller is really quick to respond to any issues, if you have them. So I would highly recommend buying these brushes from this site. 

Bourjois Volume Clubbing Mascara Review

I have found some great mascaras in the drugstore, however, for me, this mascara was definitely not my thing. This is in the colour brown, which is unusual for me, but I picked it up super cheap from Boots, and so it doesn't bother me that is isn't my kind of product.

One good thing of this product is, yes, it stays put, all day. It's wearability is amazing, and even when I got hot during the day it didn't run or anything, I had no marks under my eye. However, I found that it wouldn't even budge when I wanted to remove it, it stays put so well that it just wont come off! I used so much make up remover and cotton pads getting rid of it, and by the time it was gone, my eyes were really sore.

I found that this mascara was really hard to apply, the formula was really thick and sticky, and the brush was just coated in this thick, brown, stuff. So I found it really hard to separate my lashes. This all meant that my lashes, although volumised, were really clumpy. It also looks really dry on my eye lashes...

Some people probably love this mascara, and I actually love Bourjois, but this mascara really isn't for me, I really disliked it, and won't be reaching for this mascara, probably ever.

Mini Boots Haul

Everyone loves a good Boots haul, it's where I buy all my makeup from (as I've never been a hi-end makeup girl). And I had 2 vouchers for money off at No. 7. There was also a sale on in my local Boots. All really exiting!

SALE ITEMS

Rimmel 'I Love Lasting Finish' Nail Varnish - This nail varnish is usually £2.99, which is a pretty standard price for a drugstore nail varnish, but I picked it up in the sale for £1. BARGAIN. I got it in the shade '502 Hot Tropicana' and it's this bright, hot-pink, and it's absolutely gorgeous. I've never used this range of nail polish before, and so for £1 I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try them out. 

Collection 2in1 Top Coat - This is also normally £2.99 and I picked it up for £1. I still have my Barry M 2in1 Topcoat, which I absolutely love, but, to be honest, a top coat is a top coat, they don't vary hugely between drugstore brands. So, when I saw this for only £1 I picked it up because I get through clear nail varnish fairly quickly.

Bourjoir Volume Clubbing Mascara - This is usually £7.99, which is a fairly decent price for a drugstore mascara, and it claims to stay in place even when you're getting hot and sweaty, like you would when you were clubbing. I picked this up in a sort of spur of the moment thing because it was in the sale for £1. It is in the colour brown, and I don't own a brown mascara and so I thought it would be another basic I needed. However I find the formula really sticky, and the applicator really strange, and so I don't know how often I will use this. A review might be coming later it ends up growing on me, or not.

Collection BB Secret Beauty Balm - This product is usually £5.99, but this was only £1!! It's in the perfect shade for me (light), and it provides the perfect light coverage for summer, and it makes my skin feel really soft. The SPF 15 is also ideal for the summer to protect my face against the sun. I am so happy I found this and picked it up, and when this runs out I may even repurchase this in the future at full price!

NO. 7 Items

No. 7 Soft and Soothed Gentle Toner - This is £8 currently in Boots, but I had a £5 off No. 7 skincare voucher and really needed some more makeup remover and so decided to pick this up. It's really good at removing face makeup and makes my face feel fresh. However, it is terrible at taking off eye makeup, which may be because no. 7 do a separate eye makeup remover, but I like my makeup remover/toner to do both, so, not sure I'll be repurchasing this. 

No. 7 Stay Perfect Eye Pencil - I picked up an unusual shade of eyeliner this time, picking up the shade 'Bronze', which, as the name suggests, is a bronzy toned eyeliner. It was £7.50, but I had a £3 off voucher. I really like this, the texture and staying power as well as the colour pigmentation of this is really nice and I think I'll be picking up some of the other colours in the future. 

No. 7 Precision Lip Pencil - This lip pencil is only £6.75, and I also had £3 off this, and it is incredible. There are loads of shades, but I picked up the shade 'Soft Blush', which is a nudy-pink colour. I love the fact it's not a pencil so you don't have to sharpen it, and it really prolongs your lipstick as well as making my lips look fuller. This is now my favourite lip pencil and I am really intending to pick up some more!

Everything Else

Rimmel Stay Matt Pressed Powder - Yes, I know, how the hell do I not have this yet?! but I've been absolutely loving my Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder and reluctant to move on. But, everyone has been raving about this for AGES, and so I went and picked up the shade 'translucent'. It was only £3.99, and so really cheap, and for the price you pay for it, it is flawless.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24 Hours - I already own two of these and absolutely love them, and so I picked up another shade, 'Metallic Pomegranate', which is a metallic red/burgandy colour. It's absolutely gorgeous, and another great addition to my makeup collection. 

I love going to Boots and looking at all their items, and if you pick up their magazine that comes out every other month you can pick up some great vouchers in their for extra points/money off, and the Boots near me was having a great little Sale on, which.. I can't resist a Sale! I hope it was helpfull seeing what I bought :)
