Review: L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Waterproof Mascara

   With it now being summer I needed to find a good old trusty waterproof mascara I could rely on. I'm always on the look out for new mascara's clearly as my lashes never want to stay in place and lose their shape after an hour! I know annoying right? For a while now I have seen so many adverts everywhere about the new L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes. I had heard such good things about it, so I thought I would give this one a try.

    The first time I used it I didnt know what to expect. I was quite pleasantly surprised with how it looked by one coat my eyelashes were instantly making me have that wide awake look. My lashes arent long, but arent short either (but are getting longer from the frequent use of my maval lash serum, will do a review soon!), but this mascara made them look extremely long and curl so nicely. This is a mascara I'm deffinately going to be using for a good long while, I've even stocked up on a few- thats how amazing this mascara is!

    So if you are looking for a mascara which is waterproof and gives you that false lash look then this is the one for you! Just try it and you will see.



Lots of SHOPPING!!

     You may have noticed its been over a month now that I haven't wrote out a new post. Well that's because I was away with my partner and his family for a week, then I went away with my family for two weeks to Florida. So obviously like any girl does you have to go... SHOPPING!

     I took some pictures for you of the things I got. I'm aware that I bought quite a lot, but everything is much cheaper and I hadn't treated myself in months and months so I could save for my holiday. Anywhoo here's a few pictures of what I got...

Review: Sigma's cleansing and polishing tool

Clarisonic dupe by sigma

        I have been using my sigma cleansing and polishing tool since about four months ago now. I have noticed an amazing difference with my skin. Not that my skin was particularly acne prone anyway, but I rarely get any spots anymore, you will get the odd few ones every now and again, but that cannot be helped as it's a part of life. However, if I do breakout the next time I use my cleansing a polishing tool it goes! Some people say when using the Clarisonic at first for a while they tend to breakoutafter they first use it they tend to breakout, however, using my Sigma Cleansing and Polishing tool I never had this problem!

       My skin is combination. So in some areas my face will be dry and in my t-zone area my face is more oily. Not long after using this along with my cleanser (Liz Early's cleanse and polish- highly recommend!) my faces feel a lot more refreshed and not dry at all to be honest. I have noticed that it has made my face feels so much more smoother. You couldn't ask for more with a remarkable product like this!

      So overall, I would recommend this product to anyone who's looking for a dupe of the much loved, but expensive Clarisonic!

Review: Garnier gradual tan

 Over a month has gone by now and I've been constantly using my new gradual tanner (that you would know about if you read my first blog post :)). Overall, I would deffinately recommend it, if you are looking for a tanner that doesn't make you look 'Orange' but gives you a nice noticeable tan then this is the one for you! Whilst giving you all the colour you want it makes your skin feel amazingly smooth which is a bonus! Yaay! Most tanners have such a foul smell to them, however, this one promises to have a 'apricot smell' which I have to agree with as it really is a tan that doesnt make you smell horrible. So its up to you, but I feel it is one worth a try :)


P.S. Sorry for the bad photos, for some reason my camera wouldn't properly show just how truly tanned you will look

Good tanners?

    With summer near and the weather getting that little bit warmer; I thought it was time to invest in a good fake tan. So after trying quite a few over the years that wouldn't make me look too ridculous and 'orange' I found one by garnier. Its one of those gradual self tanners which I will do a review for once I've tired it which will be some time this week. So woohoooo no more awkward paleness for the summer :), time to get those legs out :).



Why not give it a try yourself and tell me what you thought of it?
