Favourite Drugstore Mascaras!!!!

I was watching a video today by FleurDeForce about her top 5 favourite drugstore mascaras and I thought I'd do a post about mine. Some will be similar to her video but if any are the same then that's just because I love them too.

I absolutely love the CoverGirl LashBlastFusion. Some people don't like it and prefer the volume version but I have both so I can compare. The volume one is good, like really good but I find the fusion gives me a lot of definition and length as well as volume.

Another favourite of mine is the maybelline define-a-lash. I really like this for a defined and lengthened look but it doesn't give much volume. I think I'm going to try the define-a-lash volume to see how much difference it makes but I definitely like the define-a-lash.

I am loving the Max Factor Aqua Lash at the moment. I think it's the waterproof version of the Max Factor 2000 Calorie but correct me if I'm wrong. I remembered one morning that I had hockey training and sometimes it rains and/or my face gets sweaty so I thought that I really should use a waterproof mascara. I had the waterproof lash blast volume in my drawer but saw that I had one of my sister's mascaras which was waterproof and decided to try it and I loved it!!!!

Another one I'm loving is the Benefit BadGal. I know this isn't a drugstore brand but I love it so much that I thought it deserved a mention. I haven't purchased a full size one yet because I've been using a baby sample size that I got free with Glamour magazine. I've heard that the Collection 2000 Big Fake Mascara is a really good dupe for BadGal and at £4.99 how can I not try it!!! I'm going to pick one up in the next few days since it's so much cheaper than the Benefit Mascara.

My last favourite has been mentioned in a few of my post but it is the No7 Extreme Length Mascara. I love it so much because it gives volume as well as tonnes of length. I'm not sure if I like it as much as the BadGal so I would recommend BadGal more since there is only a few pounds difference and BadGal is worth the extra compared to the Extreme Length. The Extreme length still gives a really good finish but it's more of a natural look than a dramatic one.

Favourite Lip Balms

Ok, so this has taken me a while to put together just because I'm obsessed with keeping my lips smooth and moisturised so I know what works.

I have a lot of softlips and I find that they work really well. My favourite flavour is the raspberry with green tea. It smells heavenly and not really synthetic like some lip balms. From softlips I'm also really loving the lip polish. It feels so good on your lips and it get rid of all those unattractive flakes. I also love the lip butter. It smells slightly like vanilla berry and I would say (like the packaging) that it's for very dry lips but its super moisturising so you can use it if your lips aren't mega dry its just really nice.

Enough about softlips and onto my next favourite lip balm. I love the Burt Bees replenishing lip balm. I really love the effect it has on my lips but if I had to make one criticism it would be that the smell makes me feel slightly sick.

Another one would be a lip balm by a company called delicious beauty. I got it in a Christmas cracker so I don't know where to get it or how much it cost but I have the papaya and the coconut. I must say that I prefer the papaya but they both work as well as each other I just prefer the smell of the papaya.

I love all of the Blistex lip balms and creams so if you can get you hands on any of those they are great. I'm not too keen on Carmex just because I don't like the smell and I don't like the packaging. The formula is also too thick for the tube packaging.

I'm thinking about doing another giveaway soon so if you can comment below and tell me what products would be good for a giveaway then I'll see what I can do.

August Favourites - a bit late, I Know!!!

Hi everyone,

Don't worry I haven't died. I know I haven't posted in a while but I just got back to school and its been rather busy but I'll keep up to date now because I'm going to pre-write some posts now so if I sometimes don't get time then I can resort to those.

I this post is a bit late but I've finally got round to it and I promise that I'll just write the things that I was loving in August.

The first thing is waterproof mascara!!! I was on holiday in Florida so it was really a must. I had the CoverGirl LashBlastVolume in black waterproof and that was so good and made my lashes look really nice and the colour never ran.

I also used on holiday the CoverGirl Aqua Smoother tinted moisturiser because in the summer it's just too hot to wear foundation or anything heavier than tinted moisturiser. I occasionally used a bit of my MAC Studio Finish concealer but only on bad skin days.

I also loved my MeMeMe Shimmy Shimmers in Gold because it has those strips of different goldy bronzy colours so I could use it lightly and an all over glowy bronze, I could use the lighter colours to highlight and if the strips of colour are used separately then they work well as shimmery eyeshadows.

My favourite lipgloss in August was a revlon lipgloss that I feature in my holiday haul which you should scroll down and have a look at. It was in coral reef and it was a really nice orangey coral pink. Gorgeous!!!!!

I'll be back soon don't worry but until then follow me on twitter and don't forget that the winner to the softlips contest is coming soon so look out for that and tell all of your friends to enter and follow my blog. xx

Hello everyone!!!

I'm finally back from all of my travelling this summer and its so good to be home. I went to USA so I managed to pick up some things that aren't available in the UK that I really wanted like some NYX products and the Covergirl LashBlast.

You can certainly expect a holiday haul in the next few days or maybe today if I have time. I've started school back again so I won't have as much time but I will try maybe two or three posts a week. If I'm slacking please message ma and tell me to get my butt in gear and get posting.
