Review: Mascara-L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes.

Heyya

Yup, I'm pretty much back on the blogging wagon right now-I'm a tad more inspired than usual which is always good! I thought I'd get this review up as I got this mascara a month ago for my birthday and I've been using it since so that's a good amount of time! I don't use/own a lot of L'Oreal products but the great quality of this mascara has definitely converted me and I think that their Telescopic mascara will be my next purchase! They're probably one of the most expensive DRUGSTORE brands, but they're still a great deal compared to the high end brands who sometimes don't even compare!

This mascara retails at £10.99 and I have the shade Extra-Black! I think, as I said, that's quite a lot for a drugstore mascara, but I reaaally wanted to try it and my lovely mum bought it as one of my little, beauty gifts for my birthday, so thankyou for that! If you're in the UK, you can get L'Oreal at Boots and Superdrug and at American drugstores I'm sure! I'm not completely certain of the avaliability of this brand/mascara in Europe/other places, but they should be pretty universal. Just Google it!! :)

Now on with the pictures!

I've gotta be honest: I LOVE the packaging and it's really great quality too!

The wand is slightly different to any that I have. It tapers in slightly at the top which makes it really easy to get into the inner corner lashes and also makes it a lot simpler and less messy for applying mascara to the bottom lashes too. I wouldn't nessecarily recommend this if you've got really thin, short or sparse eyelashes though because I find the formula is quite wet and gets messy even on my eyelashes which are long and curled (with an eyelash curler of course, not naturally!).

So I really love this mascara!<3 It's definitely one that I would repurchase and worth the rather costly sum of money! It gives a very seperated, defined look to your lashes, not a hugely voluminous look but adds a lot of length, so keep that in mind if you're a BIIIG lashes girly; it may not be as good for you, I usually do go for volume, but it's nice to have an alternative too! :)

Overall:

Price: 2.5/5.

Packaging: 4/5.

Product: 4/5.

Review: Cream Blusher-Stila Convertible Colour.

Hiii again!

I've recently bought a few different Stila products, all of which I will review on here sooner or later, but this is definitely my favourite! Stila IS an expensive brand but the quality of their products is absolutely brilliant. This blush is in the colour Petunia and it's the perfect bright pink. It's not a hot, blue-toned colour it's a really summery, fresh, bright shade that gives your cheeks a really natural glowy look. I'm absolutely in love with the blush and if I'm totally honest? It's a better colour and consistency than MAC's Lady Blush. However, talking of that blush, I think perhaps this one might be a little too much and a little too bright in the winter when I'm extra pale, and that's when I can still get away with the MAC one, so they both have their perfect times to wear.

As you can see the colour is absolutely DIVINE and on second looks it's more coral than I first saw which is even better and nicer and more wearable for me and for summer :) Stila has a range of different shades of Convertible Colours (which can also be used on lips!) and you can check that range and all of the other awesome makeup out here (the UK site). These only retail at £16.00 which for the quality and pigmentation I think is actually really great. A MAC cream blusher will cost you slightly more at £17.50 but remember to consider the colour options and consistency in both and definitely try before you purchase because different brands and shades work very differently for different people.

OVERALL:

Product: 4/5

Packaging: 5/5

Price: 3/5
