I love Maybelline's 24 Colour Tattoo, so today I picked up two more.
The only concealer I ever use.
L'Oreal Cleansing Oil. This is what I have bought to replace my Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel, hoping I like it as much, if not more because it was half the price.
L'Oreal Micellar Solution. I bought this because skincare was on 3 for 2 in Boots and I figured why not try a micellar water!0 -

So, finally started using the L'Oreal False Lash Flutter mascara I bought a couple of weeks back.
First impressions: this brush is a serious poke in the eye waiting to happen.
Second impressions: Managed to get more on my upper eyelids than I did my eyelashes. Also really struggled to build any length or volume, and I have very long eyelashes naturally.
I'll persevere with it for another while. The brush is taking a lot of getting used to and I always find that brand new mascaras tend to be too "thin" for the first while; once they start to thicken up a bit, I find they improve. However, unless it grows on me in beanstalk-like proportions, I can see myself going back to Volume Millions as soon as it's finished.0 -

Small haul from a few weeks ago.
The mascara is awful! No length or volume. The eye liner pen was ok in a pinch but I've lost it already. However love the Inglot and Revlon. I'm using the light coral eyeshadow as a blush and love it! Revlon is starting to dry out but I just spray it with one of the Evian face hydraters and I get more usage.
The next Inglot palette was a present from my brother. Fair play he picked out great colours and the purple and gold together make a beautiful look.

L'Oreal Cleansing Oil.
I really like the smell of this, but I can say after only a few uses, I probably won't re-purchase. It says it gently removes eye make-up. I don't find this to be the case and it also leaves an oily film over your eyes so you feel like you're going blind! I seem to need a lot of it to thoroughly remove make-up and because it's an oil, when you dispense it, it just drips everywhere so I end up losing product down the sink. I've realised I prefer a thicker, more gel-like consistency when it comes to cleanser.
Overall, not a bad product, but not wonderful.0 -

Will report back how it fairs.
Went into The Body Shop and got my eyebrows threaded and ended up picking up their Satsuma Eau de Toilette, it's gorgeous, so fruity and orangey:P
Love it and plan to buy more now, lasting well so far!
The vanilla one is amazing, its my fave. I've had so many compliments on it and when anyone asks what one is it, they are surprised its from the body shop and don't believe the price of it.
I got mine in London at Christmas, and got two bottles for £7.50
Will definitely repurchase it 0 -

Is it similar or better quality than other Rimmel polishes? I have a few Rimmel polishes and find them awful quality, thick, gloopy, take ages to dry etc so tend to avoid them, but have heard a few people say the salon pro's are good.0 -

Bought a soap and glory supercat eye liner pen yesterday and I love it! I had been using a loreal one but its started feathering all over the shop lately. The supercat gives a nice clean thick line. I have a mac fluid line but find lately (I dont have it that long!) but it doesnt come up that well on me.
Can anyone recommend me a volumising mascara that doesnt cost the earth? I adore givenchy phenomeneyes but cant justify it for every day. I bought loreal telescopic the other day but I don't love it - I have really long lashes so its not a lengthening one I need its a thickening one I need. SO far NYX doll eyes is the best I have found. I was looking at the collection 2000 pump up the volume, the new maybelline one and on a friends recommendation maxfactor false lashes - are any of these any good? I did try loreal volume million and hated it

I really like Bourjois Volumizer. It's definitely one of my all time favourites.0 -

Ran out of my all time favourite Astral original during the week, i literally used every single bit of the large tub which lasted me foreeevvverrrr! Anyway, went to my local chemist and they had the new Astral Light with Aloe vera and Vitamin E. It's COMPLETELY different and me no likey
I love the thick creamy consistency of the orginal (which i rebought today €6.95 for 2 huge tubs) and their new Light one isn't a patch on it. Will use it for a body moisturiser but not for my face. Original is definitely best. 10/10 for Original and 6/10 for the Light 0
