For this post, you need to thank my amazing friend Kayla! Hehe she sent me a package aaaaalllll the way from America! Lol I have found that I LOVE American makeup. End of. From 3 products! haha no, I do just ADORE these:
LashBlast Mascara
I cannot explain my love for this mascara! Goes on amazingly, the brush is pretty much comparable to DiorShow, yes, I mean it! It adds volume whilst also separating and lengthening lashes, doesn't feel hard when it's on and is so easy to remove! WHILST ALSO not running down my face whilst I cried my eyes out watching Dear John! :) L-O-V-E!
Almay Intense i-Colour Eyeliner, Brown Topaz
This goes on almost as smoothly as the Urban Decay Eyeliners, is SUCH a gorgeous golden brown with reflective pigments and just intensifies my eyes and adds just the right amount of... glamour? I can't find the right word! But it is just an amazing eyeliner and makes my eyes more noticeable, definitely! :)
Almay Intense i-Colour Light Interplay Technology Eyeliner, Royal Slate
This goes on like a dream, does make my eyes look bluer, has a lovely soft smudger and doesn't look too harsh a colour against my light skin and blonde hair. I also just love how many different ways you can wear it!
Right. Now onto a product/ company review :) After my last post, I got a comment on twitter saying that my post was good, but it might be nice if I incorporated some small companies into my blog... so that's what I'm doing! :D I am going to do a review of Pink Cow Bath and Shower Gels. I did find these in boots, but they are hidden away right at the end of the aisle and at the bottom, which I think is wrong!! I place these above Soap and Glory, above Imperial Leather... pretty much all the big brands! My favourite out of the four available at my boots (Coconut Creme, Vanilla Biscuit, Strawberry Sundae, Lemon Cheesecake) is Vanilla Biscuit. I just love it's buttery, vanillary, warm, comforting scent! I think it would be suitable for all seasons and times of day as it can relax you, chill you out for the day ahead and is such a light scent and consistency that it will not smother you in the summer :) I also love Strawberry Sundae for it's fruity, almost sherberty scent! It smells like straberries and sugar, with a hint of cream (very Wimbledon!). I am not the HUGEST fan of coconut, so Coconut Creme is not an immediate love, but it is subtle enough to tempt even me to jump in the shower! Last but not least, Lemon Cheesecake! A lovely, zingy scent... but not as natural-smelling as I would have liked. I would still use it, but I feel I wouldn't enjoy it quite as much as LUSH's Bohemian Soap for example. I also do think that Coconut Creme and Lemon Cheesecake would probably be the most guy-friendly fragrances out of them all :)
Another great thing about this company is that their fragrances are allergen free, all their products are paraben free and their bottles are 100% recyclable! They also have lovely cheery messages on each of their bottles and.... are SUCH good value! £2.99 for a 500ml bottle and at the moment they are £2 each in boots!! Each of my bottles has lasted me a good 3 months with every day use, and at least 6 when switching between them! So as you can see I have used them for a while! Haha they are also really quite moisturising for a shower gel, and leave even my dry sensitive skin un-irritated and feeling soft! I like to alternate between using them with a shower lily one day, and just my hands the next :) Overall, 4.8/5 stars! :D (The 0.2 lost from the synthetic lemon smell).
Whoops, apologies for the really long post, and if you made it this far, CONGRATULATIONS and thank you! :D
