Back to blogging

Well there is really no excuse for my absence apart from the fact that I haven't been well enough - I'm so glad I haven't done any promoting yet! Time to get back on track and start up again I think!

Update

I'm so sorry I haven't done a post for awhile, my mum wanted to set up a blog so I have been helping her and then I haven't been all too well.

I'm going to try start blogging again regularly in the next week!

Internet is back

Finally, we have our new broadband, I can start blogging again ;o;!

NOTICE!

Hello anyone who reads this, our internet is currently down and will be for about 3 weeks whilst we wait for our new service provider to set it up, there won't be any posts until then :'( sorry >.<

I also had a really good haul so it makes me sad I can't do a post on it ): Maybe next time!!

LUCIDarling Fantastic Nails Review - 04 Tender Mint + 02 Purple Review and Swatches

17 Shine on Lipstick in 'Sweet Sizzle' Review

When I first swatched this on my hand I was in love. It came out lovely, a nice pink with a hint of sparkle.

After getting it home and excitedly trying it on I was super-disappointed. 

Outer-wise,  the packaging is plain and simple and it doesn't feel cheapy-cheapy. Taking the lid off  and twisting up the lipstick  however, causes a squeaky noise.

The formular is fine and it glides on smooth and really easily and it feels nice, so what's the issue?

Well.. on the lips it is actually very-very metallic when in direct sunlight outside it looks like I have Edward Cullen on my lips. 

You can tell it's a bad when it looks like you have a sparkling Vampire sitting on your lips.

The pictures I took aren't very good because the lighting kept messing up and our camera isn't great . It's a shame because it looks so much nicer on camera than it does in real life but i'll provide pictures anyway.

I have no idea why my teeth look odd, they are not twisted like that really, it was just an odd angle o.0

See there on the bottom lip? 

In person all you can see is metallic shinyness.

This is how most of the pictures turned out, if it looked how it does on my top lip in real life on the top and bottom lip then I would love it.

I would never re-buy from the Shine on range, I will however try out other 17 lip products from their other ranges.

What do you think?

Have you had a positive or negative experience with this line?

Thank you for reading, this review was badly written, sorry!

Maxfactor False lash effect Mascara review - Black

Okay, so this Mascara is meant to give your eyelashes a 'False lash' effect whilst keeping it natural. From looking at the packaging and reading I assumed it would add length and some thickness to my lashes.

The Packaging is okay, it is nice and simple, with simple fonts and a simple colour scheme, it doesn't shout out 'BUY ME NOW!' It isn't terrible and it doesn't feel cheap.

The price isn't too bad at £10.99, maybe a little bit expensive if you are on a drugstore brand budget.  I know you can get £2 mascaras but they don't do much and you get a lot less product. This mascara has 13.1ml of product which is a good amount.. I would expect to get a good amount for the price.  My Nanna wanted to get me a Chanel one but I said in the mean time I want to try this one out.

Here is my nude eye so you can see the difference after:

The wand brush applicator is quiet thick and has little plastic spikes:

When I first bought the product the formula was good and not clumpy at all but I find now I have had it for 3-4 months it has started to clump a little bit, but only just.

Here is what 1 coat looks like on my eye:

Bad lighting

It holds the curls and holds my lashes super well, I didn't use an eyelash curler, it adds length but not so much thickness. By the end of the day my lashes normally pretty much look the same which is a bonus. I like the way it does the bottom lashes but I wouldn't really say this Mascara is life changing. I don't really like the way it makes my top lashes look head on.

I wouldn't re-buy this product straight away, just because there are many other mascaras I want to try one being the Majolica one another being the Fairy Drops one with a bear on. I'll also try a Chanel one since my Nanna has her heart set on getting me one. Also I would probably try Covergirl's Lash Blast before rebuying this since it seems to be the same product except i think the Covergirl one gives more volume rather than more length. 

I'd say if you wanted a normal price readily available Mascara this is a nice every day one it may not be a massive 'WOW!' but it is a nice everyday one.

Have you tried out this Mascara, what did you think of it?
Also, tell me what your favorite mascara is and I'll check it out!
