Lovely Lashes

If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have one product with you what would you have?...If you were only allowed to own one piece of makeup for the rest of your life what would it be?...

Well my friends my answer to any question like this would have to be Benefits They’re Real Mascara. It is my must have / can’t live without product. I’m often complemented on my long lashes and asked if I wear falsies, and as I’m sure I have previously mentioned I have the shortest stumpiest eye lashes going! I used to hate them and a lot of so called lengthening Mascaras just added thickness rather than length.

 

 

I have been a covert of Benefits They’re Real Mascara for about a year now. Here is my reasons for loving it.... it applies really well, doesn’t clump and makes my lashes look nice, long and natural without making them super thick hooker looking.  It creates definition and doesn’t smudge. It also lasts all day, and doesn’t go flat. This Mascara doesn’t come cheap at around £16 a go but it lasts a lot longer than cheaper Mascaras and I would definitely recommend it to all!

I now can’t leave the house without it on and can’t sing its praise it enough!

Pretty green toes

On this cold grey day I thought I'd cheer myself up by inserting a bit of spring colour into my life by painting my toes this gorgeous green colour.

I used Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Greenberry. It's the first time have used Barry M's Gelly range, and I have to say in quite impressed. It's quite fast drying, applies very smoothly and is a fab colour! It's most definitely Hi-Shine, leaving a gorgeous bright Finnish, which reminds me of gelish nails which i previously blogged about. At a quarter of the price of having that done, I will definitely be purchasing more of this range in the future.

The Lonely Fly

I found this video on another blog, its by Tom from McFly and its very sad and romantic. Its all about a er...... Fly! Enjoy x

RAWR!!!

I have a slight obsession with Dinosaurs! I think they are ace! Yes I do declare myself a geek. I love reading about them, I think there fascinating and I have slowly began gaining socks and mugs etc with dinos on. My all time favourite Dinosaur acessory is this necklace, I found it on Etsy.com from the shop Friendly Gesture. If you have not visited etsy before, then go do it now! Its full of fab little finds.

Line them up!

I am a huge fan of eye liner  for my dark eyes I feel it really opens them up and I could at a push go without most products except mascara and eye liner. Without both I would feel naked!

I use a pencil for the inside rim, top and bottom – My favourite is Channel ………………. It stays on well and doesn't end up underneath my lower lashes in a smudge/smeared fashion like some do. I was recommended it by a friend and was a bit apprehensive about the price tag, but on a bit of splurge one day I thought I’d give it ago.

 

I then use MAC gel liner to line my upper lashes. I've only recently been introduced to gel liner (yes I know! Where have I been?!) I was out one evening and after a few drinks was chatting to some random girl in the loo's, as you do, and I noticed her eye liner was still perfectly in place even though she was slurring her words. I was insanely jealous as usually after a night of cocktails and hard core bad dancing my eye liner tends to give me a severe case of panda eyes. So it was all thanks to random drunk girl that I was introduced to the wonders of gel eye liner  So at 3am I went home and jumped straight on-line to order my MAC gel liner. Sadly I have no where that sells MAC nearby, Boo! The joys of living in a small seaside town.

 

So a few days later it arrived and all I can say is its bloody fab! I've had my little tub for a while and it lasts ages, it applies smoothly and doesn't run or smudge. You do need a good stable hand in order to apply but with a little practice and the right brush you soon get into the swing of it. The right brush is key here! The first one i tried was cheap and nasty didnt apply well and was just damn right annoying. I then found Topshop make up brushes and I would highly recommend Topshops Liner brush.

 

What it says....

I found this postcard and it made me laugh. Sometimes you just need to be told straight...
