Mascara Review

I'd have to say my essential part of my make up and general daily routine is mascara. It can just open up your eyes and even its all your wearing, choosing the right one can have a massive difference on looking just that lil bit more human! This post is mainly focusing on the 'promise' we have all seen to achieve that false lash effect with a mascara and no glue or stickyness in sight!

1. Collection 2000 Big Fake Lash Mascara - MY FAVE!




This mascara is absoloutely brilliant! Its really reasonably priced and although on opening you might wonder how on earth you will fit that MASSIVE brush anywhere near your eye, you really can! I bought this for £4.99 when it first came out (quite a while ago) which is a fantastic price for such a great product. It is available in Black, Ultra Black and Brown. It really does add length and volume and comes pretty darn close to false lash effect in a mascara. I usually only need 2 coats and is will last the whole night! This makes your lashes stand out! This is a definite favourite of mine.


2. Avon Supershock Mascara

Fantastic product, again really reasonble in price, I got mine on a special deal for £5.00 and AVON usually have great bargains running a lot of the time. This brush is also quite big but has large and small bristles, it didn't seem as soft as the Collection 2000 brush but it does grab your lashes that maybe can't be reached! This lengthens and volumises and I would say between the Big Fake and this they are pretty similar and both brilliant! I found this long lasting and a good colour.



3. Max Factor Falsh Lash Effect Mascara




One of my favourite mascara's is Max Factor Masterpiece mascara. This falsh lash effect one was one of the first of its kind as I recall and I was super excited to try it. Unfortunately I wasn't that impressed. I felt that the wand is really big and although it does make your lashes look good I didn't think the pay off was that good to be honest. Also, for the cost I only purchased this once and don't think I would buy it again. I know this is a firm favourite for a lot of people but I found the brush was  a little bit scratchy. This retails for £10.99. This comes in Waterproof, Black and Brown Black.

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Range

I love make up. I like high end brands (although mostly can't afford them) but I also like high street and low end brands. I've never tried collection 2000 foundation as I usually like Bourjois and Maybelline but thought I would try it out. I firstly bought the Lasting Perfection Concealer (review to come!) my shade is light and it is AMAZING! After purchasing that I was looking for a long lasting good coverage foundation that wasn't too expensive as I am a bridesmaid in a few weeks. So I decided to try the foundation as the concealer really impressed me my shade is Vanilla. This picture is me wearing the foundation and concealer, with eye make up on but no lip colour or blush/highlight. The consistency of this is quite light and a smooth and it feels amazing on your skin, I feel its as smooth as say Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. The coverage I felt was really good and it lasted me all night. I must also add that I used Gosh Primer underneath but having used the foundati

Review Gosh Foundation Primer

Image
This is my first primer I have to admit. I had read really good things about this and as I'm a bridesmaid in a few days time, and have decided to do my own make up!, I really wanted something that would be good for an all day set on my make up. This is a fantastic product. Its soooo smooth hence the velvet touch name. It also has quite a nice fragrance as well. I only needed a tiny amount and my make up stayed on all night with no touch up needed.This primer provides a great finish and evens out everything. It dries in really quickly as well and soaks great into the skin. I used this after moisturising, under my foundation and then set it with a loose powder. There are so many primers on the market and I dont use it every day only really on nights out and things but it definetely does what it says. This product is available at www.superdrug.com , www.goshcosmetics.com  RRP £9.99
