FOTD: The Golden Girl...

I decided that FOTD's are going to be a weekly thing now, if not more often. After last week's "Green Eyed Monster" look, I thought today I would go for something more toned down. It was really sunny this morning, and still is now but not as much, so I went for slight yellow tones and golds. With a pop of Pink on my lips. Here it is...

I have unsymmetrical lips, yes I know.

So here's the Face products I used today...

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream, Light 

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer, Fair 

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder, Translucent 

NYC Cheek Glow Blusher, Central Park Pink 

Eyes...

NYC Eye Lash Curler

Miss Sporty Pump Up Lash Booster Mascara, Black 

Miss Sporty XX Volume Mascara, Black 

MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner Pencil, Snow White 

MUA Single Eyeshadow, Shade 2

Avon Glow Powder Eyeshadow, Golden Sand 

I also used a eyeshadow from the Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette. The shade used is marked with a "X"

Lips...

  

Barry M Lip Paint, 155 Pretty Pink 

MUA Lip gloss, Shade 3 

I only slightly patted the Lip Paint onto my lips, then blended it out with my finger. Which is why it isn't as bold looking.

Review: Avon Supercurlacious Mascara!

I've did it again! I've went a purchased yet another mascara. However this one I got as a freebie with Marie Claire Magazine when I was on my way to Paris. I'm not too sure how much the magazine itself was as I don't often buy magazines unless they have something which I would really be interested in, like wise a article or freebie in this case.

Here's the mascara itself...

The photo blurred, but this mascara is in shade "black".

Here's what the wand looks like...

Here's Supercurlacious in action...

L-R: Before, After.

Here's another picture, there is no mascara on the left eye and Supercurlacious on the right eye.

This mascara does some great stuff for my lashes! If your a regular reader of my blog you will know my all time favourite curling mascara is NYC's City Curls. But this has totally changed my opinion! 

I love practically everything about this mascara! The packaging is sturdy, doesn't really stand out from other mascara's, but does do its job. I'm in love with the wand! As most of you know I love wands with plenty of bristles, especially ones that are really close together. I'm also quite keen of a slight curl to the wand, as I find this sometimes helps even out the product. This mascara ticks all those boxes! I definitely think the wand helps to the outcome of this mascara. My only complaint would be the length of the wand itself as it is quite long it sometimes makes it hard to work with. 

The formula is amazing too! This is definitely a mascara that requires more then 1 coat, I tend to use 2 coats. It gives the lashes a thin coat of mascara, which I love as I'm a sucker for build able products. The formula boasts lashes to give a quite natural looking curl. It can clump, but only minimal. It depends on how you apply the mascara as long as you zig-zag the bristles through the lashes from root to tip. It didn't flake off, nor did the curl fade. 

Overall I would highly recommend this mascara to others with long, straight eyelashes like wise me. This mascara performs really well, and I would easily consider repurchasing this when I run out. I'm so glad I decided to purchase the magazine.

June 2012 Favourites!

Another month, another monthly favourites! So lets take a look at what Im loving this month...

Not many new products as I've been trying to save my money for DisneyLand, only a week today, Yayy!:)

Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Your Beauty Skin Makeup, Eruc Beige
For some reason, I haven't gotten round to reviewing this yet. Which is actually quite strange considering its been one of my holy grail, every day use's since Easter. This is the lightest shade I think, and Im quite pale even in summer so this is great for pale skinned girls! Its thin, but not to thin and blends with ease into the skin. I have normal, moisturised skin with oily patches around my nose. And this lasts all day on me!

MeMeMe Beat The Blues, Moonbeam
I've been loving this as a highlight this month! It's a sheer, shimmery pink shade which blends easily into the skin. I find some pink shades of blush really hard to wear on my skin, but this looks amazing. It lasts all day, but I won't be revealing to much as this is next on my hit list to review!

NYC Cheek Glow Blush, Central Park Pink
I think this was in one of my favourites a few months ago, but once again this has been pulled out my makeup draw everyday. I've been loving the nude, peachy shade of this blush. Aswell as its staying power, lasting almost all day!

Benefit Bad Gal Lash
I got this free with glamour magazine this month, as Im sure almost every other beauty blogger out there has been doing. I've been obessed with this mascara lately using it for a base, while layering with other mascaras. It gives volume, length and a coat of black mascara to your lashes. You can check out my full review here


Avon Glow Powder Eyeshadow, Golden Sand
My nana actually bought this product, mistaking it for something else and giving it to me. Its really hard to explain the colour of this eyeshadow other then a sort of yellow sand colour, likewise the name. After applying this over eye primer it lasts all day, and doesnt fade or crease. Strangely I've been wearing this with golds this month and it looks quite nice.

BeautyUK Lipstick, In The Buff
I got this a week or two ago, but didnt see the point of hauling it as I only got one product. Since purchasing this I've worn it non stop! Im in love with the scent of it. Mint, but not overpowering mint. However you can barely smell it once applied to the lips. Its a sort of  "my lips but better" shade but slightly more red. I'll definitely be reviewing this soon, so watch this space!

Review: Avon Super Shock Mascara

Since I don't post mascara reviews very often I thought I'd rattle one up on Avon's SuperShock Mascara. I didn't buy this myself, I got it for my birthday from a friend but as you can tell buy the name you can buy it from the Avon. I'm not sure on how much though.

 Shade "Black" but camera wouldn't focus.

Length wise the wand is quite short in my opinion.

Short, straight bristles closely grouped together.

Before mascara....

After mascara!

I like the packaging on this product, its simple yet decorative with a flowery pattern on the tube. However it still does it's job of keeping the mascara safe, doesn't feel cheap, and looks professional. I'm a big fan of the wand on this mascara, as I often find that big wands really do boast my lashes. The wand consists of short straight bristles closely grouped together, and helps you get to the very root of your lashes.  The wand prevents you from using this mascara on your bottom lashes, as its very big and you risk getting mascara all under your eye.

I sort of have a love-hate relationship with this product, I find that the formula works great with my outer lashes and really does boast them and add volume. Hence the name "Super Shock". However I find that it does little for my inner lashes. The formula gives you lashes a definite coat of black mascara, as well as giving your upper lashes the natural day time look. It doesn't really thicken your eyelashes much, but I love to layer this with other mascaras! It dries really quickly, so is great if you like to wear more then 1 mascara like me. 

Overall I would recommend this mascara to anyone who is a fan of layering mascara, as I find it gives a great boast to the lashes and doesn't clump at all! So you won't end up walking around like some sort of panda all day. Its great if you want a natural day time look for work or school, and can be easily layered up with other mascaras or this one, to create a slightly more dramatic evening look.
