Best Mascara Ever?

Let's get straight to the point. Is this the best mascara ever? In my opinion YES.

Obviously I haven't tried every single mascara there has ever been, but I can honestly say that Maybelline The Falsies is the best mascara I have personally ever tried. I do actually have the Benefit They're Real mascara which had a lot of hype over the last year or so, but I've probably used it like twice, just because I found it didn't really match the standard of this one, plus it's twice the price. I think maybe the reason this is so good is that the brush is curved so it really helps to curl your eyelashes, and then the fact that it's waterproof holds the curl really well. You might try it and not feel the same way but I can confidently tell you that it works wonders on my little stubby straight lashes.

A Christmas Gift from L'Oreal

First of all I want to apologise for the photos not being great. Obviously because it's winter, you will have noticed that in the UK any light has practically disappeared by 2:00 pm, so I'm ashamed to say that I have resorted to flash photography. If I have a chance I might try and take some better photos and replace them, but for now they'll have to do.

 

Before you get the wrong idea, this wasn't sent to me by L'Oreal. The other day I was in Boots buying the True Match foundation and saw that there was an offer on where if you spent £14.99 you'd get a free gift box of L'Oreal products. I have to admit, I did fall into the trap and spend about an extra £6 more than I'd planned just to get the gift, but seeing as the contents of the box are worth £30, I definitely don't regret it.

In the box you get:

• Mascara -Volume Million Black Couture  
• Nail Varnish - Colour Riche Nail 408 Exquisite Scarlet
• Eye Liner - Colour Riche Liner Snow White
• Lipstick - Colour Riche Lip 461 Scarlet Crème     

This red shade isn't really something I'd usually go for, but I think it's a really pretty colour especially around Christmas time! I thought it would be good to share it with you while the offer is still available so you can go make the most of it yourself and maybe even be a bit sneaky and give it someone else as their Christmas present.

Zara - 6.99 €

 

I ran out of my one direction perfume a few months ago (yes one direction. no I am not ashamed.) and since then I have been contemplating buying a new fancy designer perfume, but I'm so glad I didn't. This one by Zara is called 'Powdery Magnolia' and it smells amaaaziinngg. Not only that, but it costs about 6 times less than most perfumes. They have loads more really nice perfumes as well, so before you go and spend your life's savings on some scented water because it has a channel logo on, have a look in Zara and see if anything takes your fancy. Oh and look how perfect the bottle and box are!

h&m - 14.99 €

 

Sweatshirts have to be my favourite things ever to wear, so although these two are the same fit and style, I HAD to buy both. No question about it. I think the quilted and snakeskin texture along with the faux leather give these tops a kind of 'sports luxe' look which has always been one of my favourite trends.

 

 

inails - 2.50 € each

 

I've never heard of this brand before, but if these nail varnishes are anything to go by, it's one to remember. They had a huge selection of colours so if you're looking for a specific colour it's likely that they have it. The quality is actually pretty good, especially for the price, in fact I will probably get a few more as soon as I have the chance.

 

Claire's - 4.95 €

 

First of all, sorry about the disgusting photo of my ear.

I love these because I'm not a big earrings person and only wear studs so this is a bit of a more interesting alternative. I actually saw ThePersianBabe wearing some earrings like these in a video, and since then I have been looking for similar ones in every shop I've been in. I was so happy when I finally found some the other day.
