Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

Bottom Lash Mascara

Clinique

$11/£10

This little baby did the rounds in the blogging world not so long ago

I wasn't sold on the idea..a completely different mascara just for your bottom lashes? 

Cannot be bothered with that..so I passed on it

Al though I have a huge issue with my bottom lash mascara always smudging onto the skin underneath making me look like a panda by 10am, not the look I strive for no matter how cute pandas are

No matter what I tried this always happened

I had heard that this wouldn't smudge and figured I'd try it out considering in the US it worked out at only £6 so not a huge loss if it didn't work

I tried this out whilst in the humid heat of New York figuring if it worked for me I might stock up

I got my Mum to check my eyes throughout the day and it stayed in place with absolutely no smudging..perfect!

It gave the definition to my lashes I can never seem to achieve with a normal mascara wand without getting mascara all over the skin

The teeny tiny brush was tricky to use to begin with but it soon felt natural to use

I bought another tube in Sephora and now I'm kicking myself for not picking up even more it's a staple in my everyday routine now 

I would probably pay the £10 UK price tag but of course would rather only pay £6

If you have problems with your bottom lashes smudging onto your skin I would whole heartedly recommend this baby it's amazeballs!

Benefit 'They're Real Mascara'

Benefit 'They're Real' Mascara

Other than blushers mascaras are another product I don't seem to be able to get enough of.

I purchased the DiorShow Blackout mascara a few years ago and loved the effect it had on my lashes, since then I've been trying to find something that gives me the same look but much cheaper. I've tried various low end mascaras and so far the Maybelline Falsies has been the best, giving me the blackest, thickest and longest lashes and has therefore become my everyday go to mascara. 

But sometimes you just need to treat yourself...

and that's where an £18.50 purchase comes in

There is massive hype surrounding the Benefit mascara on the internet so I knew I had to give it a try

I have to say it is better than the Maybelline mascara but I would expect that from the price point. I find the Benefit mascara lengthens, curls just generally makes my eyelashes look awesome...I love it! 

Creepy eye shots showing the before and after 

Have you tried this mascara yet?

Chanel Chance Perfume

Benefit Some Kinda Gorgeous Foundation

Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream

Maybelline Falsies Mascara

MAC Studio Concealer 

I'm thinking about starting this as a regular monthly post 

I'll do a  collective post once a month and write a brief review of each item...

Chanel Chance Perfume

Ever since this was first released a few years ago I have adopted it as my signature scent, this must be my second large bottle. I love this stuff, the smell is gorgeous and I feel amazing wearing it. I don't wear it to work instead reserving it for my days off. I already have my back up bottle on the go and will continue to repurchase this. 

Benefit Some Kinda Gorgeous Foundation

I've had two of these in my make up collection for ages and right now I'm trying to use up all of my random foundations before I explore the foundation world and make a few new purchases (any suggestions feel free to let me know!) 

My Mum bought me two of these for Christmas one year and I've never really gotten on with them hence they had been discarded to the realm of forgotten make up.

They don't last very long on my skin and I prefer a liquid foundation to be honest.

I doubt I will repurchase.

Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream

When I bought the new Benefit Foundation I picked up the B Right Mini facial pack.

I've been using this moisturiser day and night and have to say I've loved it.

It's moisturising but not too heavy on my skin so perfect for daytime wear.

There's a few more moisturisers I need to finish before I purchase any new ones but when they are done with I'll definitely repurchase this one. 

Maybelline Falsies Mascara

Again for work I don't like to wear any high end make up so stick with drug store brands

This mascara has been perfect and I've already repurchased.

It lengthens and curls my lashes, even thickening them.

Everything I want from a mascara.

MAC Studio Concealer

I use this every day and love the consistency 

Thick and creamy, I do find it settles into any lines around my eyes though so tend to use something else in that area.

I had two of these on the go and probably will repurchase this again.

Let me know if you like this kind of post :)

Love

Belle
