Beauty Bit: New In // Maybelline and Barry M

I took a little de-stressing shopping trip to boots yesterday

and picked up a few bits that were on offer.

Maybelline had 3 for 2 and Barry M had buy one get one half price.

Absolutely delighted with my life . Igot gel eyeliner (review up soon) 

and the famous colour tattoo. No joke the tester I put on my hand is still there

13 hours later.

I am completely obsessed with these 2 Nail polishes.
Barry M is a huge fave of mine and their gelly polishes are amazing.
All bits are available from boots right now!

Paper White

I am so pale! Please excuse my pastiness but no amount of editing will help.

A few weeks ago I did a shoot with my friend Sarah ( who is an mua and youtuber ,check out her pages here and here) 

The lipstick I'm wearing is fixed on drama by mac and I am so obsessed with it. 

Unfortunately it is sold out everywhere and I am praying they get it back in soon!

DIY: Quick Floral Crown

What you will need:

4 rose heads (i got mine in a hardware)

a hairband (primark)

approx a half a metre of bendable wire (any hardware or garden centre will have it)

To make your crown all you have to do is :

1. Thread the wire through the roses, in through the bottom and back again from the inside.

2. Do this for all the rose heads leaving a good space between each head.

3. Trim off any excess wire and wrap the roses around the hairband and you are done!

New In

Just a few new little bits I've found a few days ago. 

I've been stocking up quite a bit on black clothes. No surprise there really, but seeing

as it is winter, I have an excuse. I am obsessed with the leather skirt. (not real leather)

It's soooo comfy and is actually a nice alternative to the famous Zara skort that oh so many

people have.

After The Hype: Benefits They're Real Mascara Review

Benefit claim that their They're Real mascara lengthens, curls, volumizes, lifts & separates. 

They also say that their new formula wont dry or smudge. Iv'e been wanting to buy this mascara

for aaaaaaaages but couldn't justify the price (26 euro for a tube)

However, I had run out of mascara and I seen benefit had an offer where you got

a free smaller sized mascara with the bigger one. So Lisa got one.

The best thing about this mascara is that it's jet black. It also has a round dome brush at the

end for reaching the teeny tiny little lashes a normal brush cant. The Mascara definitely adds volume, lifts and lengthens. It stays out all day and won't rub off.

However, it is impossible to get off. I felt like I have spent an extra 10 minutes every evening taking off my make up. Benefit says the mascara is supposed to separate but I think it does quite the opposite. The formula is quite sticky so I found my lashes clumped together a bit. This would be more for people who prefer the ''doe'' eyed look. 

Would I buy it again? Probably not. I have used the loreal telescopic for years and I am having slight withdrawal symptoms since switching. Saying that it would be a great mascara for people who love big full lashes. 

** one month update: I am in Love. That is all.
