So your probably wondering what I've been up to for the last 2 weeks?? Well... I celebrated my mother in laws birthday which was really nice, we went out for a yummy 3 course meal and drinks naughty naughty ha ha.

I literally cant believe how quick this year is going but i do love August, i have my birthday coming up in a few weeks and a nice week off work to look forward to and it cant come quick enough in my opinion. Anywhoo here's all the snaps I've taken over the couple of weeks... Enjoy ♥

E.L.F Eyelid Primer In Champagne | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

I'm always on the look out for a good affordable eyelid primer as i have such oily eyelids so when i made a recent E.L.F order i decided to give their 'Eyelid Primer' a go, i opted for the shade Champagne although there are three other shades you can choose from which are Sheer, Pearl and Golden.

'Champagne' is a taupe shade that blends out very sheer but has loads of glitter particles running through it that aren't visible until you start blending, the worst thing is some of the glitter particles do drop down onto your face which is slightly annoying. Putting the glitter disco ball effect aside... the primer does really perform well, it held my eyeshadow in place really well and never creased at all which is something I'm surprised at considering how oily my eyelids can get. I noticed my eyeshadow lasted a good 8 hours until it wasn't as vibrant as before but there still wasn't any creasing so for me that's brilliant. The consistency of the primer id say is very silky and thin and easy to work with minus the glitter problem.

All in all i am really happy with this primer considering how little it costs i really didn't hold out much hope for it to be honest, the primer is priced at £1.50 but i ordered mine when E.L.F had 60%off everything on the website meaning i only paid 0.60p for it, now you cant grumble at that price can you? 

Have your tried any of the E.L.F Primers??? What did you think??? 

Revlon Lash Potion Mascara By Grow Luscious | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

Recently whilst in Superdrug i noticed Revlon had a new addition to their makeup stand, say hello to 'Revlon's Lash Potion Mascara' ha ha!!! I'm not gonna lie but the packaging completely sold this product for me, i didn't care how much it was or what it promised to do but it looked so pretty that there was no way i wasn't gonna buy it to try.

So here's my first impressions on the mascara itself.... Firstly the 'Revlon Lash Potion' comes in three shades Blackest Black, Black and Blackened Brown  with waterproof also being an option. I opted for Blackest Black Waterproof as i have very oily eyelids, i personally thought the mascara was going to be a pain to remove as that's always the tricky thing for me with waterproof mascara's but my 'Simple Eye Makeup Remover' gets the mascara off a treat so no grumbles there.

The brush is a triple groove bristle brush, I'm always a fan of the bristle brushes, i always feel quite safe with them ha ha. Revlon say the wide groove's on the triple groove brush  "instantly coat's lashes in formula for maximum volume". I have to say i do like the brush but i find it quite large although i do have smallish eyes, but i just find it slightly harder to get to the more smaller lashes in the inner corners of my eye . As for the formula... 'The Lash Potion' claims to have strengthening proteins inside to help condition and moisturise each lash making them less brittle, i do think its a great little addition to the mascara however i never have a problem with weak eyelashes but if you do then this could be a great mascara for you, the formula also isn't too wet or too dry its a nice happy medium and applies evenly without clumping. I found the mascara added a nice amount of volume and length but gave me a slight spidery effect sometimes at the very ends of my lashes, but my major gripe with this is the flaking, with one coat there's the odd flake here and there but nothing major to really worry about however when I've applied two coats it flakes quite bad which is annoying and lets it down slightly for me, other than that id say its a fab mascara. 

I purchased my 'Revlon Lash Potion Mascara' in Superdrug for £9.99 but Revlon had a deal on at the time where you could mix and match mascara's, lip product's and nail polishes for 2 for £10 which i thought was fabulous. 

Have your tried the Lash Potion yet??? What did you think???
