Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

Being the huge mascara junkie that I am, today I’m massively excited to share my thoughts with you all on the Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara that I've been road testing over the last couple of weeks.

 Bourjois’ Volume 1 Seconde Mascara* (£9.99) claims to give your lashes clump-free, 360° volume, with 16 hour hold and is meant to be easy to remove so I just had to put these claims to the test. I'm just going to go straight in by saying I love this mascara and have been so impressed by it. Firstly the application process is very quick and easy, I'm guessing that's where the 1 seconde part of the title and the unique brush with spherical bristles comes in, you literally achieve instant volume and length with just one to two strokes, theres no faffing around with building up coats of the mascara for volume or length it's just instantly there which I love, and theres not a single clump in sight. 

As I mentioned before the Volume 1 Seconde Mascara comes with a unique brush with plastic spherical bristles, personally I do like the brush however it is quite large and people with smaller eyes may struggle with applying the mascara without getting a blob of mascara around their eyes. I must admit the first few times I used the brush on my lower lashes I got a blob or two of mascara on my under eye area but now I've mastered the brush that doesn't happen to me anymore thank goodness. 

The formula of the Volume 1 Seconde Mascara is really nice, it claims to last for up to 16 hours (The waterproof formula states 24 hours which I cannot comment on as I have not tried it) and I can say that over a 10 hour period it does stay pretty well. I experience no flaking what so ever, it stays nice and black all day but I did get some ever so slight smudging on my brow bone where my lashes obviously rubbed against my brow bone, but that wasn't instant and only seems to happen a lot later in the evening (after the 10 hours) when I've had my makeup on all day. I do have oily eyelids so I just put the slight smudging down to my eyelid primer wearing off a lot later in the day creating that slick oily feeling around my eye, I honestly think if I didn't suffer with oily eyelids there would have been no smudging what so ever because my lower lashes never smudge at all.

Overall I am really impressed with this mascara, the volume and length that I look for in a mascara is achieved with Bourjois’ Volume 1 Seconde Mascara and it leaves you with that instant eye-opening look. I love the fact it doesn't flake and during the day it doesn't budge on me at all, it's just a really good drug store mascara in my opinion.

Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

Ive got a mascara review for you all today and my goodness its a good'un!!! I seem to have a massive mascara addiction, I just love them!!! So a big well done to my Mum for picking out this beauty for me as part of my Christmas presents ha ha. I have rather small eyes so I'm always after a mascara that will really lengthen my lashes to make my eyes appear bigger and more open, so say hello to Urban Decay's Supercurl Curling Mascara!!!

Firstly I'm just going to dive straight in and say this is actually the best mascara I've ever tried, I'm so impressed!!! The Supercurl Mascara is infused with conditioning ingredients, with Glycoprotein to help thicken lashes, Moringa Seeds to help define a curl, plus Meadow foam Seed Oil and Shea Butter to condition, smooth and nourish lashes, so as you can imagine with all of those combined it makes a pretty amazing mascara!

The applicator/wand has a plastic brush which usually I'm not a fan of as they can be very hard and scratchy upon application however... the supercurl brush is curved meaning as you apply it, it coats your lashes easily, evenly and allows you to wriggle at the root of your lashes without poking your eye out! 

The lasting power of this mascara is also incredible, the curl never drops, there's never any flaking or smudging, your eyelashes never go rock hard either and my mascara always looks the same when I'm about to remove it in the evening as it did in the morning after I applied it so overall this Supercurl Mascara really does tick all the boxes for me!!!

The mascara retails for £15.00 which personally I don't think is too bad for a high end mascara, considering some drugstore mascaras can be up to £12.99 nowadays. Id certainly recommend this mascara to anyone who likes that wide eyed look or if you have a mascara addiction like me then you definitely need this bad boy in your life ha ha.

What are your favourites mascara's beaut's??? If you have any recommendations on other mascaras that give you that wide eyed looks please do let me know.
