The Colour Experts

Hi Guys!

Who's heard of this brand then? I certainly hadn't. So I can't tell you how long its been around. I found the counter in B&M (which imediately made me wonder if it would be any good). 
They whole range was super cheap, and they had every makeup product you could think of.  I was drawn to the lipsticks and the liquid eyeliners. The lipsticks as you can see in the picture below looks very similar to the makeup revolution ones. But as far as I know their not in conjunction.
Anyway I ended up buying 2 lipsticks in 'naked dreams' and 'naked stripped'.Both colours are completely gorgeous!
I have worn both colours to work as they are both lovely day time colours, and I wore them without any lipliner underneath. And to my suprise they lasted really well. On application they went on really smoothly and felt creamy. They actually felt really moisturising and didn't dry my lips out at all. These are a completel bargain at just £1.00. I would definitely purchase more of these.

Naked Dreams

The eyeliner I got was a waterproof liquid liner. When I went to apply this for the first time I noticed that the nib went to a super fine point and was fairly flexible. And to my suprise it was lovely to apply. It's a really dark black too which also is great becuase I've had cheap eyeliners in the past and they have just seemed watery and in need of 2 layers, but not this one!
This liner was also just £1.00.

Bye for now

Rimmel Wonder'full Mascara Review!

Hi Guys

So who's tried this new mascara? After reading the bottle I was like 'Ooh I need to try this!' The reason for this is because it has argan oil in it. And we all know how nice products with argan oil in are.
I read up about it and it says that lashes will feel conditioned, soft and flexible, with zero clumps and a feather-light volume. I'm not entirely sure what a feather light volume is or means. I'm guessing it's just their way if saying great volume haha.
It has an ultra flex brush with soft britles (which are plastic not synthetic), which hugs the lashes defining them from root to tip.
It also says what result you should experience with this mascara and that is that all lashes revealed full, perfectly smooth, clump free volume. The price for this is £7.99.
The mascara also says it's extreme black buy I never found it to be any darker than other normal black Mascaras. The only other negative for for this mascara is that it has a really strong chemical smell to it. Which I know doesn't necessarily effect the look but still a little off putting.

 I just applied one coat, my lashes did look smooth and not clumpy, (which is what I look for in a mascara) but to my surprise it didn't seem to give me as much lift, length and volume as some of my other mascaras. I normally find plastic wands to be really good on my lashes. I've stopped using synthetic brushes because of this. I also put this on my lower lashes which is always a good test for me as I find a lot transfer but this one wasn't too bad on that so that's a bonus. The only other thing I'm not sure about with this mascara was the conditioned lashes because of the argan oil. I haven't felt like it has actually done anything unfortunately. 

All in all it's not a massively bad mascara, but not sure I would necessarily re-purchase it. I give it 6/10.

Where have I been??

Hey Guys!

Soooo, as you may have seen, I've been completely poop at blogging! I can't even tell you that it's because I've been super busy doing lots of exciting things, because I haven't! 
I've just been working away with my day job, and sometimes when I'm finished for the day, I just want to sit and chill out. 

Blogging is definitely a full time hobbie, but I am determined this time to get my butt in gear a keep up with regular blog posts. I am going to aim to blog at least twice a week, but it could be more!

What else have I to tell you..... Ooh I went on holiday recently. Well I say recently it was 4 weeks ago already! Why does that always happen? Feels like I haven't been away. But it was so lovely when I was there. Hot sun, beach and cocktails. What more do you need! I went to Costa Brava with my other half, mum and dad, and it was just what I needed. 
How lovely does it look! I wish I was there now!
There was an absolutely fab cocktail shack just down the road from the hotel, and all the cocktails were just amazing!
Can't beat a 'Sex on the Beach' hey! Haha

So yes, just wanted to finally check back in and let you all know what's going on!

Bye for now
