Mascara reviews of high end and low end!


When it comes to Mascara you want to find the right one that is going to give you long/full lashes! or long yet separated lashes 

Everyones different! some love that chunky full lash look and others love no clumps look! 


High-End Mascaras









 

Estee Lauder Sumptuous extreme mascara 
Fantastic for a bold thick lash look! 
The brush is quite thick giving your lashes a more full appearance as well as length!

No flake or fall out, stays on all day
I don't like the water-proof version of this i find its way to waxy and clumps up extremely.

Tip: Apply afew coats for an extreme length eyelash look! 

Rate 7/10

 Clinque High Lengths Mascara

This Mascara has an amazing light weight formula to it.
Each coat to the lashes giving them an amazing intense look without any clumpy bits. The curved fine toothed comb works perfectly and capturing each and every lash, including those hard to each corners 
  

Rate 8/10














Ysl Shocking Mascara 

This mascara will give you very extremely long lashes, if you apply afew coats you notice yo


This Mascara will give you the most crazy looking spidery long lashes ever!
Its abit wet in formular so try not to smudge when applying on your lashes...
Perhaps try the old card trick when applying this mascara to your lashes



Tip: When applying wet mascaras use a square white card and hold it above your eyelid, make sure your lashes are on the card and apply your mascara this way you wont smudge ur mascara! 

7/10 









I do love my high-end pricey make up but if your looking for something reliable but cant bare to spend the $50 for a mascara then below are afew of my cheapie chemist favourites! 







The Falsies from Maybelline


This is a great cheapie mascara it literally gives you than length of false eye-lashs look to it

it can clump up and go bit hard on ur lashes after awhile but the brush is fantastic and grabs every lash

5/10















Maybelline Full N Soft

This mascara i used regularly and because it had vitamin c it grew my lashes to a wildly length ....i kid you not

This mascara will do lash separation and volume-building and the formula doesn't clump,flake or smudge!


So if your looking for your base mascara to grow your eyelashes i highly recommend this! 




8/10





Until Next time ......

What Skin undertone are you?




When it comes to what undertone you are with your skin can be very daunting at times.
You want to find the right colours that will COMPLIMENT you! This goes for anythings from lipsticks to foundations! Once you find your right undertone you'll never have a problem again with finding that right lipstick or having a dilemma with foundation colours!

So lets get started!


Get out your wrists!



Cool Undertone

                                             
If your a cool undertone you will notice on your wrist that your veins are Blue 

Think- water,grass 

Notice that silver jewellery you can rock better than gold because of your cool undertone


Cool undertone people are usually fair and can never actually get a tan in the sun you'll notice you will just burn and become a lobster... like myself!

Usually people with cool skin tones have blue, green or grey eyes with blonde, brown or black hair.Cool skin tones usually have a pink or rosy undertone therefore thats your base for foundation! 

ALSO! pink undertones stay away from being a ghost! Even though you have pale skin its great to have a slight tinge of colour to you! Some cool tones also have a yellow cool tone to their skin 

Lip sticks that will compliment you 

Eye Shadows that will compliment your cool complexion the best are silver,magenta,white,pink shadows. 
shimmery cool pale colours-green purple blue and gold 
If your going out you could do e.g. a pink smokey eye


Neutral Undertone


If your a neutral undertone your veins will be blue-greeny or if you cant tell then you will be a neutral colour

your skin is neither pink/red/blue nor yellow/gold/peach, but somewhere in between.Your foundation will be towards the neutral tone selection
You could be more towards the cool side or more towards the warm side so playing around with afew different colours of foundation will help you find your perfect colour

You can rock silver or gold... and even rose gold jewellery for your skin type! actually can wear anything! because of your neutral undertone!! you can get away with anything lucky ducky ;)


orange colour lipsticks bright ones as well will look great on you



Eye shadows a mixture between cool tones blue,green,violet and purple  and will compliment your look  silvery champagne and taupe colours

 Did you know.... Most women have neutral undertones.






Warm Undertone




Your veins will be slightly green/yellow

Warm tones remember anything that gives off a warmth colour to you think of things like fire or sun 

You also tan easily! perfect sun kissed skin 
Gold jewellery will look fantastic on you rather than silver

Your foundation colour will always be towards the darker or warmer tones

Lipsticks that will compliment you red,oranges and bronze lipsticks 


 wear eye shadows that are gold, copper, bronze or any of the earth tones 






In saying all of this, I'm not saying you cant wear a certain lipstick colour or you cant wear a certain eyeshadow because its going to look terrible on you, if you feel beautiful then wear it!

This is just simple guide line to just bring out more of your inner beauty to light with certain colours that will bring that out :)


Until next time....

Lip Plumpers




Ever craved to have bigger lips than your natural ones? But way to scared,broke or undeceive for the real deal? 
sensual lips without any injections

Then i have found the top 3 best lip plumpers, giving you that fuller look to your lips without the injections! Unfortunately its not a permanent thing.... a little bit like Cinderella's dress turning into a pumpkin after midnight... but instead your lips going to normal after a few hours 



Two Faced Lip injections EXTREME 

When they put extreme on this lip-gloss packaging they actually meant the term EXTREME this drastically changes your appearance of your lips!

This is amazing, it made my lips fuller and big. The gloss is clear but you can mix up with your lipsticks with this gloss over the top, so your lips will be bigger for a night out or whatever your event may be

WARNING: you will get a burning sensation at first so please don't freak out this is normal 

Con: it only lasts for 1-2 hours the lest without having to top up on the lipgloss
                                                                                    




Pro: If you apply this everyday your lips will      
naturally increase your natural lip size








 Venom Flash Dunwop

Venom flash is a pocket rocket for your lips!

It leaves a beautiful shimmer to your lips acting like a plumper as well as a shimmer lipgloss

Warning: There is only a slight tingle to this no burning sensation this is normal 

Pro: Works reasonably well

con: Its too small to last very long :(








Dior Addict Lip Maximiser


Wow is all i can say, a little bit more pricey than the others but this dior lip maximiser is well worth your pretty pennies 

You can apply this under your regular lipstick or alone because it has a fleshy tone colour to it

It is a long-lasting plumping it last on my lips for at lest 3-4 hours without having to re-apply again but you will see your lips slowly decreasing

Pro: Its also a lip treatment that stimulates your lip collagen if used 15 days straight you'll see a reasonable result of increase of your lip size!

Cons: Pricey  




SO ladies you now have my secret weapon of bigger, fuller lips! 
go out there and flaunt your pout!!! 


 Until next time......

November Favourites





Cara Delevingne
Oh my this month has seriously ran out the window... or should i  say THIS whole year has gone out the door!


Apart from the busy silly season approaching.During the lovely month of November i did do some purchases that i loved and as well hate.



When i find something i love, ill buy it over and over again because as you know in the cosmetic world if you find something you love stick to it! Until they decide to discontinue it.








Hourglass- Dim Light


Hourglass Dim Light

This powder is amazing.
The hourglass DIM LIGHT is unlike any other powder i have used, what it actually does it blurs out any imperfections on your face.Still leaving a slight glow look to it as well.
It also enhances your skin when flash photography is involved, evening out your skin tone 

Ive made this my go-to finishing powder because i love the flawless look it gives to my face 

The range is quite big i have yet to checked out the others but 9/10 kisses to this! Best of all its talc,gluten,fragrance and nano-particles free! 






Revlon christmas set 2013 brushes

These are the cutest, when i saw these cute revlon brushes i couldn't say no!


They're great value I've never had a problem with revlon brushes. They are still good quality for what you pay for especially if your starting out using make-up brushes!











Ysl baby doll mascara 

I really loved this mascara it would give my eyelashes a really full look as well no clumpy mascara bits on my eye lashes. Even appearance in lashes

Con: This mascara really dried up quickly! which was really annoying i started using the wand to dip in other mascaras
Im hesitant to buy it again because I'm unsure if it was just the batch or just me? 



Estee Lauder LIMTED EDITION make up portfolio!

This is absolutely fantastic book of make up is the best if your starting out with eyeshadows or on the run with work because you can just stick it in ur bag its A5 size 

You get 2 lip glosses, a few mini brushes for on the go, 4 blushes which two are bronzers great for contouring! 
15 lip sticks-
THIRITY EYE SHADOWS! wow so many different looks you can accomplish, all your   basic colours are in this pallet! 








Correcteur perfection Long lasting concealer

 Meet the concealer  of your dreams ladies...say goodbye to the fine lines that show up as deep lines!
THIS concealer  is amazing i know its a little pricey but its seriously worth it!

I use to wear one concealer (not mentioning any names) but it just went into every little crease under my eyes and some lines that didn't even exist without conceal appeared!


This is nothing like the rest its so smooth,silky and textured under the eye not emphasising any unwanted lines
The price is worth it it'll last for ages as long as you seal it up tight.When applying you only need the smallest amount on the back of your hand or just applying 3 dots under both eyes! 



Until next time..........
