Number 17 Make-Up Haul!

So I was in Boots and saw this great deal at the Number 17 counter!! It basically was buy their new Falsifeye mascara and get a free gel eyeliner with it! I definitely took advantage of that offer!



The cost of the mascara is £6.49 (If I remember rightly!!). The gel eyeliner is free with the mascara, which makes it SUCH a great deal! However, I don't know if this deal is permanent and if it isn't, I don't know how long it will last, so DEFINITELY go and snap this up now!!! You can get Number 17 make-up from your local Boots stores. :) When this deal does end (if it does!?) I'm not sure how much the mascara will be then and if it's the same price. I'm also not sure (obviously not got a clue what's going on here tbh!!) if the gel eyeliner is a part of the permanent makeup line-although I really do hope it is!-and of it's price if permanent. So really, I don't know a lot about it, other than you should go and get your Number 17 Falsifeye mascara and take advantage of the free gel eyeliner.
I tried the mascara and gel eyeliner out today and totally loved them both. The mascara wand is really big and picks up a ton of product, however it doesn't clump up your lashes and I haven't found a better mascara/mascara wand for seperating lashes. It adds length and volume, which you often can't find in one, single mascara, especially one with such a great, cheap/affordable price that is in the drugstore! (Boots.). The gel eyeliner was creamy and nice to apply. However it was quite smudgy and probably wouldn't be brilliant for someone who already-like me- struggles with getting a completely neat and straight line with their gel eyeliner. However it would be a good, cheap (literally, it's free!) liner for someone to start out with and I'm sure season gel eyeliner pros would find it a total dream to work with due to it's great colour and consistency.
So, what do you think about the eyeliner and mascara if you've tried it already?
And if not, well, what are you waiting for?!!

thanks for reading guys,

Summer Must-Haves: Cheeks and Lips.

First NOTD and catchup!

First, I cannot believe almost a month has gone since my last blog post :O holidays and saying goodbye to friends (:'( ) has really distracted me from it lately, so sorry about that guys!! Anyways, I thought I'd start making these: 'Nail of the Day' posts from now on, to get the BEAUTY aspect back into my Blog which has been personal lately, which I love, but I want to get back the original reason for my Blog too! So here goes:


MUA Nail Polish-Shade 5.








This nail polish is, I'm pretty sure, only avaliable in Superdrug stores. It's only £1! It takes about 2 coats to get to that colour and I'm gonna be repurchasing it soon, as it's running low, the good thing is though, the bottle of polish lasts a long time, I've had mine for a while now!!
Hope you enjoyed. Lots of love..
