New Buys | Argan Oil and Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

And we encounter it again.

 

The disappointing time of your life when your mascara has run dry and needs replacing yet again -unless you want to be slightly lazy and use it anyway (even though it could start infecting your eyes).

 

We've all been there haven't we? (Even you boys....) 

 

Every time I go back to Boots for a new tube of mascara I try something new because there are always new releases from all companies in the drugstore and usually a simple mascara does the job. This time I decided to go for Maybelline Lash Sensational Lash Multiplying Mascara £7.99 and it seemed to be an especially good purchase. The wand of the mascara does magic on my eyelashes! The bristles are firm and slightly curved meaning it makes it incredibly easy, and non technical, to grip onto all my eyelashes so that they are equally covered in mascara.

 

Well, maybe that's just me with the whole equality thing...

 

Also, I have been loving OGX Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Weightless Reviving Dry Oil as a spray to use on damp hair before blow drying simply because I have been finding that the heat from the hair dryer can dry out my hair a little too much, leaving the strands at the front of my head a little frizzy. I found that by adding extra moisture to the hair strands first reduces the number fly-aways.

 

Have any of you ever tried washing out your old mascara wand and using it to comb your eyebrows in the morning? Trust me, its a good trick!

Winter Glow Makeup Routine

 

It's nearly Christmas!

 

And 2015 (what!?)

 

And

 

I have a cold.

 

Great.

 

 

 

I have made some little changes to my everyday makeup look because I want to look fresh and good on camera as I am going to Spain for Christmas!

 

- Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation £9.99 - I recently bought this because I was convinced by all the good reviews out there, it has a medium coverage and a slightly dewy (and glowy) finish which is the perfect texture for me.

 

- Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer £4.19 - Do you know how much I love this? It had a great coverage for dark spots and works well under the eyes. Personally, I find it can be a little drying under the eyes but if you mix it in with your foundation it is fine. Also, I get through a tube of this stuff really quickly so I'm always making trips to Boots to get more which is a little annoying.

 

- Rimmel Match Perfection Illuminating Concealer £5.99 - For the extra glow in the inner corners of my eyes   

 

- Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder £3.99 - To set my concealer and minimize shine

 

- Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder £7.99 - I have had the same one for 3 years (not an exaggeration) and have used it everyday and it has not run out yet. Now that's what you call a miracle.

 

- Rimmel Lasting Finish Mono Blush in Santa Rose £3.99 - I have used this forever and I can't get enough of the natural flushed look 

 

- Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara £7.99 - I would say this is Maybelline's best mascara (I think its the brush that really makes me like it)

 

- Rimmel London Scandaleyes Thick & Thin Eyeliner £5.49 - Perfectly natural but I find it is a little fidgety to apply

 

 

I hope my experience had  helped anyone looking for new products to add to their routine. I personally get excited to apply my makeup now especially with my new foundation.

 

What is your favourite drugstore product that you would recommend?

Favorite Blowdry Products

Some people have difficulty dealing with their hair in humidity, but I struggle with my hair in the rain and wind.

Urgg.

It annoys me so much that after I spend my precious time washing and drying my hair to fall how I want it, all ready for a new week- it just turns into shambles on the short walk to school (even if I try to keep my hood up, see where I am going whilst also attempting to look decent and awake).

Then I get to school and I feel all my efforts have gone to waste.

Anyway, when my blow drying efforts are kind enough stay I find that these 3 products are the best:

- Charles Worthington Volume and Bounce Body Booster Moose

I recently bought this product because my old moose ran out. It does exactly what it says - if you use a round brush (this is the new one that has been saving my life recently), it gives you a TON of volume...its scares me a little sometimes but we don't have to mention that to anyone else.

- John Frieda Straight Fixation Styling Crème

 

I bought this product a long time ago; I only use it for my fringe/bang area by putting a little product brushing it through and then blow drying it upwards.

- Heat Protectant  

Okayy. Im guilty.

I always forget to use protectant but I am realising that heat can actually damage your hair after repetitive use.

Guys. Use it!

I would appreciate so much if you could let me know how to dry your hair or the products you use to keep you hair looking... sane.
