No 7 Exquisite Curl (01 Black)

No7 Exquisite Curl Mascara (01 Black)

Yes yes, my obsession with mascara still continues. I decided to go boots & grab this mascara after hearing a few raves about it. Seeing as the brush looked similar to my current fav (Maybelline Falsies) i decided to give it a try.

This is what the brush looks like if your wondering.



So here are some pics that i took that which might help.
Knowing the nombty (did i just make that word up? lol) that i am AFTER i had actually applied the mascara i realised it might actually be more helpful if i was able to show a pic of my natural bare lashes. So guys this is my left eye but i applied the mascara on the right. This is my lashes curled.


This is my lashes with only one coat of mascara. Please excuse my funny looking lashes :$ *ashamed*. I recently had extensions (which is the first & last time i ever get that done), which of course left me with barely any weak lashes. I'm still in the process of growing them out ^.^   Got a review coming soon on eyelash growth, make sure you check that out!


 This is the lashes with two coats of mascara. (here we go again with the funny looking lashes :$)


Claims:
- "Coats your lashes to a more beautifully curved and volumised look, with long lasting curl"

+ I definitely saw separation of lashes making each lash look more defined & some length.

- However for me i didn't see the volume that it claimed. . I have the famous barely noticeable Asian lashes, which go straight outward. So my best friends are a lash curler and waterproof mascara. Overtime I've noticed that waterproof mascara keeps hold of my curls much better! Personally for myself it didn't hold the curl since it was waterproof however it may vary for others. I think this will be fab for those with naturally curled lashes.

Cons for this mascara will be that its more lengthening and separating than volumising. No mascara is both lengthening and volumising (be sure to let me know if you know of one ^.^)

Maybelline Forever Strong Professional Nail Varnish Review

I will apply this on my nails & apply a picture very shortly.

Claims
- Lasts up to 7 days wear

So i was at boots and as usual they had their 3for2 offer so i got this nail varnish for free. I'll be honest if i saw this on the shelves i wouldnt have bought it but since it was for free i thought why not. i have this in '05 Extreme blackcurrant'. The first time i applied this was on my toe nails as that evening i was wearing peak toed heels. To my suprise this varnish is actually really great. It is quite pigmented for a drugstore product.You can get a full coverage of colour with just one even coat. Obviously if you want to be extra sure you can go the extra mile and do a second but with the polish i see you dont have to. Its also not streaky at all!
Although this is not one of the claims but i noticed it dried extremely fast. I wasnt sitting there for 5mins waiting for it to dry. As good as it seems i dont think it lasts up to 7days. My one chipped within a couple of days although i didnt use a top coat.

Advantages
+ Very pigmented
+ Dries fast
+ Non streaky


Cons
- False claims doesnt last up to 7days however maybe with top coat it does last. Dont quote me on this though. Im going to give this another shot and see how long it lasts.

Garnier 2in1 Waterproof Make Up Dissolver Review


So I'm the type of girl who loves to exaggerate her lashes, so i apply at least 2 coats of mascara. I have the typical sparse short Asian lashes so using waterproof mascara helps hold the curl. As much as i love applying make up its such a pain at the end of the day to take all that off, especially WATERPROOF mascara.
But this product makes it sooo easy for me.

Claims
- No alcohol, non perfumed
- Dermatologically tested
- Softening Vitamin B5
- Waterproof make up dissolver

How I Use It
All i do is shake the bottle so the oil and the water are mixed then add a few drops either on cotton pad or directly onto my lashes, let the make up dissolve. (Don't worry, if it gets in your eyes it wont sting! I promise) After a min of looking like a panda i get a non fragrance wipe and wipe it all off. This product is amazing! It has made taking waterproof make up easy and fast. It doesnt sting the eye at all and if its done correctly then it doesnt pull out any lashes. This can be used for both the face and eyes.

Advantages
+ Doesnt sting
+ Doesnt pull out any lashes - gentle
+ no alcohol, non fragranced

Cons
none

Skin79 Diamond Absolute Total BB Cream Review


I had seen a YouTube guru use this product and i found it very intriguing. this is the first BB cream i tried out. I purchased my one from eBay for a bargain as the one from yesstyle.co.uk was a little too much including the P&P.

Claims
- Wrinkle improvement
- Whitening
- UV interception SPF 37+

Like any Asian BB cream the colour range is SH*T. They tend to have about a few shades of each BB cream. This particular one currently comes in one shade nevertheless knowing me i was very keen to try it. the BB cream itself is a couple shades lighter than my skin tone, however what i realised was its very blendable. in other words i was able to sheer it out to make it match my skin tone. it comes off as a bit grayish at first but after it oxidises it seems to match my shade.

Its very sheer, i would say it had no coverage at all. all it seems to do its moisturises and evens out the skin tone. it has a lovely floral smell to it which i never realised till i smelt the product myself. its blends in perfectly and leaves the skin feeling very smooth.

I don't really any wrinkles so i cant say much about that but i have noticed a lightening effect on my skin. recently my cheeks have been more lighter than my chin and forehead. this is the only product i can say justifies the cause of this. over the winter period my skin can get very dry in the t-zone so i stopped applying any BB cream in this area as i noticed it only shows my dry patches more so i stopped using it in those areas. So this could be the only reason to justify why my cheeks have been lighter. So i can say the whitening effect does work. However i cant say whethter it lightens scars, i shall try that and let yous' know soon!

Advantages
+ Whitens
+ SPF 37+
+ Very blendable
+ Lovely fragrance
+ Lightweight

Cons
- No colour range
- No coverage
- Hard to control the pump

TRESemme Dry Shampoo Review


So i decided to get this dry shampoo for a holiday when i went abroad in the summer. I don't trust the water over there so i definitely will limit the amount of times i wash my hair over there. That's where this dry shampoo comes handy.
I was very skeptical to try this as i heard it can leave white dandruff like dust powder everywhere. However i followed the instructions exactly and i found this actually works!

Claims
- Volumising Dry Shampoo
- Removed oil & boots body
- Lemongrass formula refreshes hair

How I Use It
I spray it into my hair, let it set for amount a min or so then i just work my fingers into the roots and ruffle my hair. If there's any whitish grey patches left, which happen when you spray to close to the hair i just spray a bit of water of it and it vanishes.

Obviously like any dry shampoo its going to add volume. Newly washed hair is always more voluminous than weighed down greasy hair. So this dry shampoo ticks that box.
It has a fresh fragrance to it which i find not so overpowering so it should be okay for those non fragrance freaks. ^_^

It removes oil and leaves the hair clean, fresh and bouncier. There really is nothing more to say, its a dry shampoo & it does its job!
