No.7 Stay Perfect Mascara Review

Hola lovelies

I've only ever reviewed a couple of things on this blog but both have gone down really quite well so here's another one for you!

A few weeks ago I got the new no.7 mascara. It's the stay perfect long lasting volume mascara and I have it in black but it also comes in brown/black. 

Incase you don't know what no.7 is. It is a boots make up brand that is all hypo-allergenic so perfect for sensitive skin. 

This is actually a Waterproof mascara but it isn't a problem to come off at the end of the day. All you have to do is dampen a cotton pad with warm water and hold over your eyes for thirty seconds then it just wipes away. It's fantastic. I didn't believe it when I saw the campaign for it. But it's true. I tried it myself. 

One of the first things you'll notice is the tiny brush. It's a plastic applicator which I personally like. I also find with the tiny brush it really separates and lengthens my eyelashes. 

The colour is super black and it does also stay on all day without smudging. 

This is without any mascara on

This has about 2 coats of the mascara. I've actually been asked if I'm wearing fake eyelashes while wearing this mascara. What's also fabulous about it is that if you only put one coat on it gives a nice natural look but you can build it up to be more dramatic without it getting all clumpy. 

Positives:

Love the applicator 

Love the formula, not clumpy

Love how easy it is to take off your eyes

Negatives 

The only problem I have with this is it comes off your eyes at night easily but it sort of goes all over your face in the process which isn't a problem it's just a wee bitty annoying

All in all I really do like this mascara and it's made me want to try more no.7 products!

Loving Lips

Hello lovelies

I love lip products, I think the can totally change up a whole look weather its just finshing it up or being a statement. I've been adding to my lipsticks recently so I'm going to share with you a few of my favourites!

Left to right 

First off is a revlon lip butter in the shade wild watermelon. It's a beautiful red and is that perfect combination between sheer and colour. It's beautiful and moisturising which I love in lipstick. So if you haven't tried these definitely check them out. Especially this colour! 

Next is a Clinique chubby stick. This is the shade whoppin' watermelon. It's a pinky nude that doesn't give much colour but is perfect when you have a bold eye or your just playing down the make up. It's really lovely and is great for layering lipgloss over!

Third in the row is probably my favourite lipstick if all time. It's the shade blushing sequin from l'oreal colour Riche. I got mine in Walmart and I wish I picked up more because they aren't available in the uk! This is a bright pink but again that perfect balance between opaque and sheer. I wear this all the time and it lasts a long time too

Last from this picture is a l'oreal caresse in Aphrodite Scarlett. This is an absolutely brilliant alternative to blushing sequin (check swatches at the bottom). The difference is the formulation. I find blushing sequin to be more dry but not in a drying way if that makes sense. Aphrodite is a very "wet" lipstick. I don't know how else to describe it. But it's also very moisturising and I have a few of these now. Again they give that perfect amount if colour without being in your face

First of is one of my holy grail lipsticks. I've had it for ages and what's in the picture is all that's left. This is a beautiful coral and it smells fantastic. It is actually a frosty finish winch I personally don't like but it's nothing a little gloss can't fix! It's a l'oreal colour Riche lipstick in the shade sensual rose 

Next I have two of the soap and glory glossy sticks. First is raplumzel which is a gorgeous plummy berry colour. This type if colour is one of my favourites of all time for lips and nails and clothes and just everything! Next is fushia-ristic. This looks super orange and bright and scary but it's a lot sheerer than in the tube. On the lips is a lovely coraly colour. These are super glossy and smell amazing and just look fantastic on the lips. 

Lastly is one of the newest addictions to my lipsticks. I bought this on the recommendation of essie button. It's the rimmel moisture renew lipstick in fun time fushia. I can't get enough of this lipstick! It's so lovely on the lips, such a flattering shade of pink. Definitely go have a look at this is the shops. If you like pink lipsticks and lipsticks that make your teeth look white you will love this!

In the middle top to bottom we have

Revlon lip butter : wild watermelon

June favourties!

Hola chicas :) 

Today I'm sharing with you my favourites from the last month. I don't have that many because I didn't actually try many new products!

Ill start with my perfume favourite. It's the Marc Jacobs Daisy eau so fresh sunshine First of all it's in an absolutely beautiful bottle as are all the Marc Jacobs perfumes and smells so lovely. The Marc Jacobs website describes it as "A playful floral fruity, Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine reinterprets the classic Daisy Eau So Fresh with a bolder, fruitier twist. Colorful and energetic, the fragrance radiates sun-drenched juiciness with an addictive fruity top. The heart is an intoxicating breeze of airy, uplifting jasmine petals that dries down to a smooth, velvety base of warmth and subtle sweetness. 

Top Notes: Strawberry, Apple Blossom, Pink Grapefruit 
Mid Notes: Jasmine Petals, Day Lily, Rose 
Base Notes: Violet Leaf, White Oak Moss, Amber Wood"

 Next I have my Laura mercier foundation which I love! I'm in the shade rose ivory. This foundation is high coverage without looking Cakey and it's also really long lasting. Although its pricey a little bit really goes a long way which has to be taken into consideration as well

For blusher I have been loving this nyx blush in the shade peach. The nyx blushes are beautiful. So pigmented and they are so cheap and cheerful. This just gives a gorgeous colour on my cheeks that blends so easily!

I have two concealers but they are the same in different shades. It's the collection lasting perfection concealer in shade 1 fair and 2 light. I use fair under my eyes to brighten everything up and use light to conceal my blemishes. These two work so well together and I highly recommend them!

Vaseline has been my life saver this past month. My lips have been so chapped due to all the extra work I've been doing. Working really dries out my lips because of the hair conditioning in the shop so this has been fantastic. 

 This lipstick is my absolute all time favourite. It's from l'oreal And its the caresse I think in blushing sequin. Unfortunately these aren't out in the uk! I wish the were because I would have every single one! They are just so perfect. Bright but not in your face. Shiny and moisturising also long lasting. Just perfection in a bottle.

Last make up product is this mascara from no7. This is the new say perfect mascara and I absolutely love it. The brush just separates your eyelashes so well and makes them look super long and almost false lash like which I love. I also love that it's waterproof but comes off with just warm water on a cotton pad help on your eye for 30 seconds. It's just great waterproof without the hassle of taking it off. (Review here)

 Last but not lease I have a hair product. This is the Aussie dual personality curl definition and soft feel serum. I put this in my hair after I've let it dry naturally to calm down any frizz and if really works! It's a good price too! Definitely worth checking out!

 What are some f your Favouties from this past month? 

Hope your having a wonderful day and happy Independence Day to all the Americans!
