Maybelline The Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara

Everytime Maybelline bring out a new Volum’ Express mascara, I just have to go out a buy it. Especially when the £2 off introductory offer is on!

The tube is a light turquoise colour with sheen and it has a shiny fuchsia band between the applicator and tube, which is the same colour as the writing. On the back of the tube there is also the brush type diagram. The brush is kind of barrel shaped with a point. The bristles are light and soft and made of some sort of fibre material. The formula is a glossy gel mousse. You get 9.6ml of product inside the tube and the shade I have is Black.
This mascara is supposed to create massive volume and be soft to the touch. It should also be less harmful to your lashes because it has 40% less hard waxes, which means your lashes shouldn’t feel hard and dry, even when the product has dried. It is also Maybelline’s first gel mousse formulated mascara.

I really like this mascara! I really love the Volum’ Express line of mascaras anyway and not one of them has ever left me disappointed. The brush is quite flexible and you do have to watch how much pressure you apply when you are inserting it back into the tube. It makes your lashes look bold, defined, separated and voluminous. It is very easy to apply and build and it is clump-free and smudge-proof. Because it has a gel mousse formula and 40% less waxes, it leaves your lashes feeling soft and smooth.

This mascara is brilliant and I definitely recommend it!

Glamour Magazine - July 2013

Yesterday I picked up the new edition of Glamour Magazine, well three copies of them actually! It is the July 2013 edition and you get a choice of five free MODEL CO products and four different magazine covers ( Rebel Wilson , Zooey Deschanel , Myleene Klass & Daniel Radcliffe ). I have never heard of the MODEL CO brand before, but judging by their website, they are marketed as high end. I’m not sure what size the items in the magazines are, but I have listed the full sizes and prices below.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Palette

This palette has been around for a while now and I always thought it looked stunning, but I just didn’t buy it. I recently decluttered my make-up collection and I allowed myself to get this palette (I almost bought the Amrezy one instead). I didn’t know it was still available and I found it purely by chance. I thought when it was first released it was classed as a limited edition product! The packaging is the usual ABH slim rectangle shape and it is wrapped in a sort of sparkly blue and white striped denim material. The palette and brad names are printed in a sparkly gold font. The palette has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. There is a small mirror and the square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a metallic azure blue base, with the shade names printed in a small gold font. You can purchase this palette for £46.00 ($57.00) from AnastasiaBeverlyHills.co.uk, AnastasiaBeverlyHills.com and FeelUnique.com. You get fourteen 0.73g eyes...
