Review: NYC City Curls Curling Mascara

This mascara is definitely one of my holy grail products, as cheesy as it sounds. It was in my April and May favourites so i thought it was in definite need of reviewing.



In shade "Carbon" so basically black.


The wand was slightly more curved then that, but i bent it in the tube to avoid getting mascara all over my eye lid.


Here's a closer look.

 
Before mascara, not great quality but...


After mascara!

The packaging isn't my favourite, it looks slightly cheap to be honest. Its pink plastic, but does its job and at least its my favourite colour;) 
The wand is fairly short, in my opinion. Which i always look for in a mascara as I think gives you more control when applying. The bristle bit was actually more curved then it is in the picture, I've tired curling mascara in the past with wands similar to this. So from my experience I decided to bend the bristle bit, which consists of short plastic. I really like the wand and think it really helps to give that extra boast and added curl and separating. 

I love the formula! This just doesn't seem to clump at all! You know those mascara's you buy, and when you apply a certain amount of coats it seems to clump? Well this certainly doesn't do that! It gives a definite curl, which is great if you have straight, but fair-ish lengthened lashes like mine. It also gives a black coat to the lashes. The curl lasts all day, well at least until I take my makeup off. And doesn't flake off. 

Overall I would highly recommend this mascara to anyone who is looking for a great curling mascara. It gives a long lasting, black curl which provides a very natural day time look. You can buy this from selected Superdrugs only, for around £2-£3.

Haul - Superdrug & Boots

Okay, so I'm going to get right into it as the post is very *picture heavy*

Only 5 things but still a haul :)

First thing i got was the NYC Smooth Skin pressed face powder.

Shade "Naturally Beige"

I haven't been getting on very well with my current face powder, the MUA one. I'm not too sure if the formula has been changed or something it just doesn't look good with foundation underneath, and totally changes the colour of my foundation and makes my face makeup look really cakey. Even though I've repurchased the MUA one 3 times, I thought I'd give this a go. 



In a recent blog post I reviewed the Collection Cream Puff Lip Cream in Fairy Cake. I thought I'd get another shade from the range, this one in Cotton Candy, as i really liked Fairy Cake. 

NYC City Curls Curling Mascara
Shade Carbon (Black) 

I really like the wand on this mascara! I've heard good & bad things about the NYC mascaras, but for the few pound i paid for this I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. 
 
 
 Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
 
 
 
I've heard some amazing things about this concealer! I read on blogger somewhere that it was even compared to mac. I really can't wait to review this concealer , and see if it really is a High Street Gem! In shade "Fair 1"

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadow
Shade Eternal Gold

Saved the best till last!;)
I think I may be a bit slow on the whole "Color Tattoo" thing. But I really wanted to try one of these out, and for the price you get a more then generous amount and there so pigmented when swatched they will last ages!

Thanks for Reading! :)xxx
