The Battle of the Mascara's no. 2!!! eep!

Battle of the Mascara's

So it is that time again. Battle of the mascara's! I have seriously not done one of these since September 2012 and when I realized I had quite a little collection going on and I hadn't done this post in a while, then I though I may finally do it!

I literally hoard my mascara's just for Battle of the mascara's! eep!


Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascara in 01 Blackest Black

This honestly is a really good mascara. It coated my lashes quite well and it isn't typically a wand I would choose anyways. This was gifted to me in 2012 for Christmas.
I only had one issue, which is an issue with a lot of these mascara's.
I didn't have the waterproof one. I must say this Mascara was the worst for getting in my eyes! It stung so badly! This was the worst for stinging.


This mascara is really similar to the designer brands mascara I had last time I did Battle of the Mascara's. Very similar in person, It didn't show well in the photo.


MaXFactor Masterpiece Max Mascara

I love this mascara. I got a lot of volume and lift from this mascara.
Not much to say apart from I LOVE IT!


Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara

This was a shocking mascara as well to be honest. It did nothing but clump all of my lashes together. And leaving very big balls of mascara on my lashes.


The wand was really similar to my Rimmel one.
These are both very shocking masara's...
Like very shocking...


Paintbox Curling and Volume Mascara

Okay this was horrible.
I cannot stand this mascara!
I honestly got nothing from it. Maybe a little curling but that is it.
I have no clue what went wrong with this. It clumps, it is hard to build up, coverage is minimal etc.
HORRIBLE!

The wand is very much the same as the NP Set Glamorista Mascara.
I hated them both............ awkward!


Essence Get Big Lashes
This is one of the best mascara's I have ever owned.
It's cheap, it's great. I love it.


It is very similar to my Maybelline The Colossal mascara, which I also really adore.
I did a review on the Essence Get Big Lashes Mascara which is viewable here:

So that is it for my Battle of the Mascara's again!
Hope this helps you in picking your next Mascara!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

Balm Stains
Yesterday I had picked up a Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain from Target in the colour 010 Darling Cherie.

This is my first ever experiance with the Revlon Blam Stains and to be perfectly honest, I don't think you get very much bang for your buck with these... It seriously smells as though it has beeswax in it, which may explain why when I used it I get a minor tingle/burning sensation on the lips... Do they have beeswax? If they do I am so not impressed... If they don't, I'm still not impressed at all as I shouldn't get that irritation from a normal balm Yuck!

The colour pay off with this purple one was not so great either. The lack of pigmentation in this certain balm comes off as dead looking on me... It's weird...

Honestly, I will try another colour in this just to make sure it's not this certain colour. But so far, I am seriously not considering re-purchasing and I do not see the hype over this product.
Thanks for reading again! :)


If you know the ingredients (I cannot find it on the Revlon Website) please tell me if it has beeswax or some sort of mint, and also comment if you have had an issue with this product?

Lots of love guys! xx

What I got for Valentines Day xx

Body Lotion
So here is all of the glorious things I have gotten from my darling Fiancé for Valentines Day.

We chose to choose our own presents this year and we gave them to each other at 12 in the morning on the dot!

I got Adrian 3 T-Shirts from Ed Harry and a gorgeous card, and today we will be venturing out of the house for a cute lunch at the Gardens :)

Reviews on these are coming soon so sit tight :)

Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator in 200 Pink Light

200 pink light

I love this face Illumnator.
It is really good for highlighting.
I do apply this after I have applied foundation.


It may look like an overkill in sparkle and too light for me.
But once applied it isn't as strong, and blends really well.

All I simply do is get some out onto the back of my hand.
Dip my finger into it, and dab it on the area's I want (a little goes a long way)
and blend it with my finger then follow with blending with a fluffy brush.

This product is really good, and will most likely last me a year, because there is a huge amount of product, I don't wear makeup regularly as my skin gets irritated, and a little goes a very long way as I stated before.

definitely a 5/5 for this product.

Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer 001 (Sample Size) xx

Make-Up Reviews
 
I never use primer for everyday wear, but I do use it for nights out (just incase my girls take random selfies, as all idiots do ;) haha just kidding)
Primer is great for acheiving a nice smooth look to the skin before applying your foundation!

 
This Primer is great for anyone that is concearned about appling silicone to the skin.
A typical primer will be a clear which indicated a high content of Silicone.
This primer had a creamy pink, so it is not quite as high in silicone!
 
But I wouldn't recommend to wear primers often unless it's set into a foundation.
This is because Primer tends to make the make-up on the face, "slip"
But other than that, it's a good product for achieving flawless skin!
