Review: L'Oreal Power Volume Collagen Mascara...

Hi all, 

So these past few months I have really gotten in to trying out new mascaras to find the perfect one to give me a slight false lash effect that I can get away with in the daytime and not look overdone...and I think Ive found it. 

I picked this up on a whim on my last day in New York thanks to a lovely lady in Walgreens whilst I was getting my pre-flight essentials after she told me how lovely the build up looked on the lashes, and she was not wrong. The formulation of the mascara gives the lashes a lot of extra length and volume without feeling heavy or weighed down, which i assume id due to some form of collagen fibres in the mascara, and although I was expecting clumps I was pleasantly surprised to see hardly any arise. 

This mascara also holds a curl beautifully, coming from a girl whose lashes never want to cooperate that is a huge congrats to the people al L'Oreal!

This mascara just gives the right amount of volume for amazing long lashes, that look just a little bit fake but not overdone so that your lashes look out of place for a day to day makeup look, but when layered a few times it looks stunning for a night out as well

Quote of the week #9...

Hi all, 

this week I have been thinking about what happiness actually is and how to get back to the happiest version of myself. And whilst on this thought path (during my chemistry mock exam I may add), I came to the conclusion that happiness is the journey we take in life, not the destination that we are all aiming for, and how easy it is to forget to stop and look around and take in the good things everyday...

Top 5: Summer Nail Polishes...

Hi all, 

So here is a guide to my five favourite nail polishes for summer...

1. Barry M gelly hi-shine in 'Papaya'

this is a great coral colour for the nails with a nice shiny finish, looks amazing against tanned skin and gives a nice pop of colour to the nails...

2. Essie 'Navigate Her'

a nice alternative to mint green, which can sometimes wash the colour out of your hands, gives a nice creamsicle finish to the nails with a nice seasonal twist...

3. Ciate 'Cupcake Queen'

I love the blue toned reflex in this polish, it brings another depth to a classic go-to colour in the summer for most girls out there, without being too obvious, just a nice bit of extra depth to the colour...

4. Chanel 'Black Pearl'

probably not the most obvious choice for summer but I love this colour as an alternative to dark purples and blues as a classy polish for more upscale evening events, makes a nice change from the nudes that I normally would wear around this time of year...

5. Essie 'Buy me a Cameo'

a nice nude with a slight rose gold metallic finish, beautiful choice for a subtle nail choice for the summer time...

Hi all,
Just a quick post tonight before bed. I'm a bit out of sync with my timings thanks to painkillers, after breaking my wrist, (hence why I missed my post yesterday), but all will be back to normal tomorrow but here's something to tide you over until then
