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!

Spring/Summer drugstore lip colours.

Now that summer's sort of here, I've been wearing brighter lip colours and really loving them! So I figured I'd share with you which are my favourites. I can't wait to dye my hair blonde again, I love the contrast between my hair and bright lipstick in the summer.



My top picks are:

Models own neon matte- the coral one? I'm not sure of the name, sorry but I think this one is pink hawaiian.
Revlon colorburst lipgloss- strawberry 006
Revlon just bitten lip stain- Flame.
Revlon lip butter- sorbet

From top to bottom- Revlon's lip butter in Sorbet, Models own matt brite- coral colour, Revlon just bitten lip stain- Flame, Revlon colorburst lipgloss- strawberry.

Models own hyper matt brite lipstick- £6

Models own hyper matt brite lipstick is one of my all time favourites. It's awesome! This shade will suit most skintones, I love the contrast between this, pale skin and blonde hair. It lasts on the lips a good 3-4 hours, but leaves a stain and wears off nicely. I really like matte lipsticks, especially ones that arent too drying, which this one isn't. It glides on effortlessly and has a gorgeous finish. I have heard some people complain that the packaging looks cheap, but personally I like it and it feels durable and good quality. They're only £6 in Boots. I'd say they were close to mac lipsticks, I will definitely be buying more!

Revlon Colorburst lipgloss-

This lipgloss was a bit of a random purchase I must say. I went to Boots one day during school and was persuded to pick it up by friends. It's a muted red colour with bit of a pink hint to it. It has got shimmer in it, but it's not really noticeable on the lips. One thing I have to mention is the scent- I hate the scent of it, it's a plasticy/ fake fruit kind of smell. Luckily it's not too strong. It wears off nicely. It's opaque enough to not have to wear lipstick, but sheer enough to look good with lipstick underneath! I like to wear it with Clinique's red-y- to wear lipstick (blog post coming soon!)

Revlon Just Bitten lip stain- £7.99

Revlon just bitten lip stains are one of my favourite products to use during the summer. They literally last all day and all night! They're amazing. Sometimes I have to re- apply but not very often. Flame is a bright, red/pink/orange colour, it's really unique. The only down side to this lip stain I'd say is the balm, it snaps far too easily, I have a few and all of the balm bits have snapped off.

Revlon Lip butter- £7.99

I really wasn't as impressed by the Revlon lip butters as everyone else but I saw this shade in Superdrug and I thought I'd give them another go.I believe this is one of their new shades for summer, anyway I ended up really liking this one, it's not the usual pink I go for because it's slightly more muted. But I find it's opaque enough to leave some sort of colour on your lips. With a lip liner underneath I love it even more. But I think this would be a good bright colour for someone who isn't as confident or who is only just beginning to wear bright colours.

RAVE REVIEW! Technic brilliant touch highlighter and blemish corrector.

Technic brilliant touch highlighter and blemish corrector has very quickly become one of my must have products. As I was searching through my make up stash to find something to make me look more alive after a 'no sleep whatsoever kinda night' (ok, well I did have half an hour sleep...) I came across this magnificent product. I will say, I didn't hold out much hope for this product at first against the extremely dark circles under my eyes, but to my surprise it worked a treat!

As you can see this product is quite pink, which again didn't fill me with hope when I looked at it, but this product seems to reflect light and makes your face glow. Looking at this product, I have noticed it is slightly similar to Benefits High Beam, although this is definitely more of a concealer formula. I much prefer using this as an under eye concealer rather than on spots, I feel it draws attention to any blemishes. I do set this with a powder otherwise I have found on the occasional day that it will crease under my eye area but that doesn't change my love for this product at all. The only downfall to this product is that there's only one shade. Being relatively pale this works on my complexion, obviously this unfortunately will not suit darker skin tones.

Sorry for the rubbish photo's, new set up soon!

With flash.

It has a brush applicator and is super easy to use and blend. The packaging is pretty simple, the only problem is the packaging rubs off after a while but at such a cheap price, I can't complain!

But all in all this is one fab product that is only £2.99! I am aware that the shop 'body care' sells some technic products, but I'm not sure how widely available those shops are, but I have found an online shop that sells it!

Buy it here!

Thank you for reading my blog!
