Beauty buys!

Hey guys!

I picked up a few things at Boots today so I thought I'd show you what I picked up. I desperately needed a new foundation but I didn't want something I'd had before and No 7 is a brand I haven't tried a lot of so as I was browsing through the aisle I saw the instant radiance foundation, dabbed a small amount of the tester on my hand and picked it up straight away, the finish looked gorgeous. 

I also saw somebody using the Bourjois volume 1 seconde mascara and I wanted to pick it up so I bit the bullet today and decided to get it but I picked up the ultra black version. The brush is plastic which is what I don't normally like but it does look interesting and I wanted to try it out. 

My last purchase was the Yes to Carrots rich moisture day cream. I had a sample of this and loved it but  I couldn't find it anywhere so of course when I came across it I had to get it. It's such a gorgeous moisturiser which I'll definitely have to do a post on. 

Have you picked up any beauty bits lately?

The Colossal GO EXTREME VOLUM' Mascara Review!

Hey guys!

Maybelline's The colossal mascara is my all time favourite so when they release a mascara in the same range I HAVE to try it! So they've released the Colossal GO EXTREME VOLUM'! and I've given it a good testing. I love the original colossal mascara because the brush is ideal, the bristles are a good length and a great shape, having relatively small eyes I find it hard not to get mascara all over my eyelids but like the original this baby is doing a great job at sticking to my lashes and not all over my face! The brush is definitely one I've seen before but I like it, it's rounded a bit like a rugby ball. The wand is an extreme volume double wand, in all honesty I haven't really noticed a difference with the wand except for it being slightly more flexible. The colour is a deep enough black for me, I wouldn't say its the darkest (even though it is called very black) but it works well for my complexion.

                                       

The packaging is yellow with shiny pink writing on it- makes it so easy to find in my bag! I have noticed a tiny bit of flaking from this mascara but mainly when I try to re-apply a bit on top if I decided I wanted more after it had drying which happens with nearly every mascara. It lasts well throughout the day but is relatively easy to take off, I don't end up scrubbing my eyelashes at night. I much prefer this version to some of the others in the range. Overall I would say it's my second favourite Maybelline mascara next to the original colossal mascara. I would rate it at 8.5/10. I would definitely pick it up again! You can get it here. P.s for those who like waterproof mascara's you can also pick it up in a waterproof version too!

Have you tried this mascara? Let me know what you think!
