Max Factor Masterpiece Transform Mascara: Review.

~ I’m just a girl who loves mascara – Emilia Clarke ~

I love mascara, I can’t leave the house without it!! Being blonde, I need a mascara that is going to make my light coloured lashes stand out and be noticed. I honestly can’t speak highly enough of Benefits They’re Real mascara as it’s been my go-to for quite some time now; however I’m all about trying new makeup products and so I thought I’d try Max Factor Masterpiece Transform Mascara in black.

I’m quite prepared to spend a mini fortune on mascara, but I’m pleased to say that this one is quite reasonably priced at £9.99 (Boots/ Superdrug).

The applicator/Wand is quite slim in design and the bristles are relatively short. I like this feature however as you can get really close to the base of your lashes to ensure a thorough coat of mascara is applied. I always apply 2 coats to my lashes due to how light they are, and I have to say I’m impressed with this mascara!

The product comes in two colours, black and black/brown and states that it is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers too.

It didn’t clump my lashes together and it definitely caught all the little lashes in the corners of my eyes as well ensuring my lower lashes stood out also. For the price of this mascara, I’d definitely buy it again and recommend it to my friends who perhaps don’t want to spend the earth on beauty products.

If you’re after a new mascara; either from not liking the one you’re currently using, or if you’re a bit like me and just love trying new things… Give it a go 🙂

July BirchBox!

– It’s BirchBox time, or rather BirchBag time this month! –

So, this month BirchBox did their very first BirchBag and I personally love this little twist on the monthly subscription box. I received the neon pink design, which was themed around the Spanish Island Ibiza! Here’s what I else I got…

1. Soigné Nail Polish in Lavande – £11. I love this colour! From the photo, you’ll see this came out as a lovely light lavender colour. I put on two coats and I’m really impressed. I’ll definitely look at the other shades they do.

2. Unani Aloe Vera Gel – £15. This is a nice gel to put on your face or any body part that you feel perhaps needs a little TLC. It’s definitely a refreshing product, however at £15 for a full size bottle, if I’m ever feeling burnt I tend to just use aftersun which does the job for me!

3. Benefit Cosmetics Dream Screen – £25. I’ve not actually used this product yet, but I’m excited to try it out. I’m a huge Benefit fan and so any kind of sample I can get my hands on from them, I’m probably bound to love 🙂

4. BioNike Cleansing Water – £12.20. This is a nice product and it did work well in breaking up my makeup to make it easier in removing it all after a long day, however I’m quite taken with just a simple makeup wipe so I’m not sure I’ll make the change (yet) to cleansing water.

5. POP Beauty Eyeshadow Trio – £15.50. I don’t actually wear a lot of eyeshadow, I much prefer just eyeliner, however I did like these shades and they were nicely paired together. I’ll keep this in my makeup draw(ers) to try out again.

6. Barley Prep, Blot & Blend Sponge – £5.99. I love this! I love makeup sponges in general, so a tester/sample for me to get my hands on more is always a win win.
