LANCÔME Monsieur Big Mascara

I’ve had this mascara for a while now and I’ve only just got chance to give it a proper try, so I can let you know what I think of it. It is quite well known in the beauty word, so I was expecting to like this mascara. I also love that the name is part French (Monsieur means Mr/Mister in English) and it reminds me of the TV series; Sex and the City.

The packaging is a large shiny plastic black cylindrical tube with a metallic hot pink stamp on the front containing the mascara name. The brand name is written underneath in a metallic hot pink font. You twist the brush cap and lift to pull about the wand/brush. On the end of the cap is a raised black rose image. The brush is big and soft. The bristles are made of soft fibres and it has a tube shape. The formula feels a little thick and kind of tacky. You get 10ml of product in the tube and the shade I have is 01 Big Is The New Black. You can purchase it for £22.00 from Lancome.co.uk and Lancome.com.
This mascara is supposed to give your lashes big volume and intense colour. It shouldn’t flake or smudge and it should be easy to apply.

I really love this mascara and it is the best one I’ve used in a while! It does give your lashes a lot of volume and it also lifts them and makes them appear thicker. It does have an intense black colour and it is extremely easy to apply, even to the little lower lashes! I didn’t notice any smudging or flaking, but it can make your lashes clumpy if you apply too much. I would recommend two to four coats, depending on the desired volume. I would definitely re-purchase this mascara again in the future and I recommend you give it a try, if you don’t mind the price tag.

O.P.I Breakfast at Tiffany's Mini Mani Month Set

I heard that O.P.I would be releasing a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection and I was really interesting in trying some shades, so when I was browsing the O.P.I website and came across this set, I snapped it up straight away! The packaging is like a white and lilac fashion book and it has a beauty advent calendar vibe. It is a sort of alternative to a beauty calendar. There are five rows with five shades covering two sides of the book. You can open the windows that cover the shades, but it will reveal all five shades, which is why it doesn’t quite pass as a calendar. Plus, you can’t actually take the bottles out like you would a beauty/chocolate calendar. You have to open the sides of the book and pull out the five separate plastic trays which hold the bottles. There seems to be a lot of wasted packaging this way. You get twenty-five 3.75ml bottles of Nail Lacquer and the set contains new shades from the Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection, and some old favourites already pa...

GUCCI Mini Perfume Gift Set

Today I am going to review a perfume gift set that I bought from Boots.com during their Boxing Day sales 2014. It is the GUCCI Miniatures Gift Set and it was exclusively sold in Boots stores and on Boots.com. I love the concept of mini perfume sets and it’s a shame that not more brands do them! You get to sample more scents from brands, and if there is a certain perfume you are interested in, you would be able to sample it before potentially wasting your money buying a full size bottle of a scent you might not like. In this particular set you get five (5ml) mini fragrances to sample and I actually already bought a full size of the Guilty scent, but waited until I got this set to test it! A big gamble I know, but it did pay off this time! Here are the five miniature bottles of scents included:- FLORA BY GUCCI The bottle is so cute and with a little ribbon bow too. The notes contained in this little bottle are; citrus, peony, mandarin, osmanthus, rose, sandalwood, patchouli and ...

Serial Sampler #33

I once sent off for a perfume sample from Lancôme on Facebook and periodically they still send me samples of their new perfume releases. I received this one a while ago (ages after it first launched), but I have only just got around to testing it.   It is Idôle by Lancôme and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   Launched: 2019   Type: Floral Notes Top: Pear and Bergamot. Middle: Turkish Rose, Rose de Mai and Indian Jasmine. Base: White Musk and Vanilla. It is a really light spring time floral scent. It isn’t too mature smelling and it is not overpowering. It reminds me of the Gucci Flora and Hugo Boss Ma Vie perfumes a little. I can really smell the Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine and Musk notes. It is a fresh floral scent and would be good for day time wear. I do really like it, although it isn’t my typical choice of scent. I personally won’t be buying a bottle of it, but I would recommend it and buy it for someone as a gift.   You can purchase the L...
