September Wishlist

Hola! I haven't done a wishlist in quite a long time, so I thought I'd show you some things I wish to get!

*Google Images*
Katy Perry - Killer Queen Eau De Parfum 50ml, £28.99:I recently smelt this and immediately fell in love. It's not too sweet but it's a strong smell. I love the packaging, the fact it's from Katy Perry, everything!
*cosmeticproductreviews.com*
MAC - Studio Careblend Pressed Powder, £20:I've wanted a powder from Mac for a long time now, but I have done a little research and this powder seems to be the one that I will probably use a lot.

 Apple iPod Touch, White, 32GB, £149.99: I've wanted an iPod touch for some years now, I've honestly loved for ages how they are! You can listen to your music, loads of games, apps and stuff. I've recently really been thinking of getting one, that's why I'm adding it into this wishlist!

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis; Shark Face Gang Crewneck Jumper/Sweater, $45: So you may have seen from my twitter that I just love Macklemore & Ryan Lewis to the moon and back, I can't even explain how much I love them and their music! Anyway, "Shark Face Gang" is what they call their "Fandom". It's pricey, but I know I'd wear it so much!
New Look-Sorry I'm Not Sorry Tee, £9.99:I tend to say this term quite a lot, so when I saw this online I thought I would wear this a lot, it looks good and also will go with a lot.

That's all I've been liking and wanting so far this month! Not too many but that's okay :)

Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara Review!

Hello everyone! I am really sorry that I haven't been blogging much at all lately. I promise, I will try my hardest to keep up with my posts, as I do love blogging but I haven't had the time, products and ideas to do it. I don't know why but I haven't felt like doing it at all either, which sounds 'mean' but I do love you really! I'm still here:)
Anyway, this mascara came out to the UK last weekend, and I was SO excited to see it! I had no idea is was even coming here, but when I saw it I immediately thought of all these American/Canadian youtubers talking about it and saying how much they love it in all of their videos.
The brush itself is crazy! There is a sort of long oval structure to it, but the bristles look pretty random.
The formula is seriously cool! It seems to just be so 'soft'; it's not super runny like some I've found. On the packaging, it says that it is a 'mousse gel formula' which explains the amazing-ness of it! It just makes the brush work more, I think if it was not such a good formula it wouldn't work very well at all.
There is this sort of bend bit near the bristles on the brush, I think it's to help it get out more product out of the bottle & also to get right into the corners of your eyes to get the mascara on all of your lashes. When I first saw this I thought that it would annoy me and make the wand not very stable and it would move a bit when I'm applying it, but it doesn't seem to be the case at all. It doesn't move (from what I notice) when I'm applying it, woohoo!

-Before-

-After-
You can see there the before & after pictures, I used eyelash curlers too, but the point is that it doesn't clump! The formula and the brush really mix well together and create very full and voluminous lashes!
I think the main reason why I did buy this is because of this- when I bought it (I think still currently!)it was already £2 off, because in boots they had an offer which showed that all Maybelline mascaras were up to £3 off. I then went over to the advantage card machine thing and I found on my exclusive offers a voucher which gave me another £2 off! Yes for money off!
The actual retail price is usually £8, so I only got it for £4. If you can, have a look on your exclusive offers because you never know what offers/coupons/vouchers you can get! I have checked on the website of boots but I can't seem to find it on there! If you see this mascara in a boots near you then I highly recommend checking it out, especially as it's £2 off anyway!

Thank you for reading, hope this helped!

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara | Review w/ Pictures

Hello readers! Here is a review on the Maybelline 'Great Lash' mascara, with pictures before & after!


First off, packaging & about the brush: 
The packaging is actually pretty light, it is a small tube and the same with the brush. I like the pink & green too. I'm not going to blab on but I got this in waterproof & the colour 'Very Black'

Here are my lashes before:

I did not curl my lashes before, just so you can see how it works without any tools.

Applying the mascara, you can see how small the wand is:
*scary eyes*
Now for after I've applied one coat!:
I like the way it doesn't make your lashes clumpy really, I mean it's not like it makes them look like false lashes and super fluttery but they do give a 'great lash' effect. They leave them really voluminous, maybe not so much on the lengthening side, but it does make them look big. From further away they look a bit shorter (well obviously Lizzie duhh) but I'm not too phased by it.
I also like the way that when I use this on my lower lashes, they don't look like spiders legs, really creepy and weird, they even out the lengths of each & also the darkness of each. Speaking of the 'ultra black'ness, it's really nice how I don't have to do more than one coat of it because it's not sheer, even though it's waterproof!
The water protecting side of this mascara is actually better than I thought it would be. I know it's probably not the best idea but I do leave my mascara on when I'm at swimming, and I've found it does not leave me with panda eyes! I don't exactly look like I've just applied it, it's faded a fair bit by the end of the session but it's still there!
The curl it leaves, without any eyelash curler, is brill! I thought I might have needed to but I really don't. This mascara is very versatile and ticks many boxes for me!

I like it very much, and for the cheapest mascara in Maybelline, you can't go wrong!

I hope you liked this post:)
