Maybelline- the Rocket volum' express Review!

In the last few months I have discovered some pretty good mascara'a from the highstreet? (drugstore). One of my favourites is the Maybelline falsies and colossal one. But when I saw their latest launch which included the Rocket volum' express I didn't hold out much hope because the brush looked similar to the Maybelline One by One mascara which I didn't like at all! I tend to buy mascara with bristles which aren't plastic, basically mascara's unlike this one. But I really like it! As you can see from the photo's below the result isn't too bad, actually it's pretty darn good!
The packaging is standard for Maybelline mascara's, which is nice, not really much to say about it.
I'm only wearing the mascara on my upper lashes here.

Doesn't my eye look scary without mascara?! hahaa, 



My eyelashes are really fair and there aren't that many of them, as you can see. This mascara seperates well, darkens them wonderfully and gives pretty good volume. The only thing that isn't the best is the curl but because I have such small eyelids if they do curl to much they leave mascara marks on my eyelids- attractive eh?

But all in all I give this mascara a good 8/10! It's on offer in Superdrug at the moment aswell- £5.99 instead of £7.99 which it is normally. I will more than likely re-purchase this once I finish it. You can also pick it up in Boots and more than likely most supermarkets that sell maybelline.

What is your favourite mascara?

No more dry skin I tell you!

These are the 3 products I have recently fallen in love with. I don't think I have anything horribly bad to say about them. Well I suppose I should start by telling you what they are eh?

The first product is by Sanctuary, it is their hot sugar scrub. I was first introduced to this by my sister literally years ago! She gave me a few samples of it, and recently I found one that I hadn't used in my sample box (yes, I am being organised, hahahha,). It's basically a scrub that once you rub it on your body it warms up- it's magic! I have no idea how this works, but it doesn't stay warm for very long, but still it's quite nice. It isn't too scratchy like some exfoliators but it does the job and leaves my skin feeling super soft! It also smells amazing! Quite citrusy. I bought mine from Boots. It is £11.50 but worth it, considering you need a small amount and i'm just about half way and I bought mine around august time.


It smells gorgeous!





Item number 2 is *drum roll please* Lush Turkish delight shower smoothie. I'd never tried any of their shower smoothie's before and I really don't know why?! I did get this in a christmas box and I am really hoping it's one of their permanent products. It's basically like a solid/cream version of a shower gel. The texture reminds a bit of frozen yoghurt, and it smells a bit like frozen yoghurt mixed with roses. It a pretty fresh, clean scent, that I don't think too many people would be offended by. It so creamy and smooth, it really is Lush. You can buy it on their website for £15.95 where you get 200g. I have the smaller version but I will definitely get the bigger one, once I finish this one. You really only need a small bit aswell, so it lasts for ages.


And last but definitely not least is Lush Ro's Argan body conditioner. I really really really like this product. Originally I thought the idea of applying it on wet skin and then rinsing it off was a bit pointless and extra time I didn't really need to spend procrastinating in the shower. But it makes such a difference. My skin feels sooooo soft it's unreal. The scent is a little off putting for me, I'm not the biggest rose fan but it's not too strong and I think I'll put up with it for the results. It contains most of the things you'd like to see in a body lotion or butter, i.e argan oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, almond oil etc. And if you take 5 of these pots back empty to Lush they'll give you one fresh mask free! And obviously this isn't tested on animals which is another huge bonus! Also I have the small version but the full size is 225g which costs £15.50- but it is totally worth it. You can buy it online too!


Thank you for reading! Cam xxxx

Bourjois effet smoky- REVIEW.

I was given this as part of my birthday presents a few months ago and hadn't used it much until recently. I've discovered that I really enjoy wearing it on my waterline with a brown smoky eye, It just gives a bit of a change to something I wear most days.

I also have the navy version, but this one in 72 dark purple is my favourite of them. Admittedly the smudge end to the pencil isn't something I use very often but it does do the job. The pencil itself glides on smoothly and the colour is gorgeous. This liner has a pretty good lasting time, especially considering during this time of the year my eyes tend to water a lot.

These pencils are reasonably priced at £5.49. You can buy them here- Boots.
I really like this pencil and I would definitely re-purchase or buy other shades! Have you tried them? Cam xxxx
