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!

Hello lovelies

Last night I was playing around with my make up and I really liked what came out of out so I'm going to share that with you today! I did a post on Selena Gomez's makeup from her come and get it video and that went down really well so this is very similar!

Face
Rimmel Wake me up Foundation: Ivory
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder: Translucent
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer: Fair
Nars Bronzer: Laguna
Urban Decay Eyeshadow: Virgin (used as highlight)

Eyes
Urban Decay Eyeshadow: Buck (eyebrows)
NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil: Milk
Urban Decay Eyeshadow: Omen, Half Truth, Vanilla, Foxy
L'oreal superliner blackbuster intense
No.7 Stay Perfect Mascara: Black
Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner: Black, Nude

Lips
Rimmel lipstick: Airy Fairy
Miss guided lipgloss: Peach

I applied my concealer first, I've recently discovered this is the best way for me to hide all my blemishes to get the most flawless finish I can. I then applied a thin layer of foundation before setting it with powder.
For my eyes i applied the nyx jumbo pencil as a base and also to really make the colours pop especially the colour omen. Omen is a beautiful purlple with some pink in it from the 15th wedding anniversary Urban Decay Palette (Swatches here). I put this all over my lid then using Half truth another colour from the palette in my crease and under the lower lashline. In the inner corners i used Vanilla and as a highlight I used Foxy from the Naked 2 Palette as it is a matte finish.
I filled my eyebrows in just a little using the eyesahdow buck from the Naked Palette before using the L'oreal liquid eyeliner to create a thin line with a small flick.
I used rimmel scandaleyes eyeliner in black to tightline my eyes and use the eyeliner in the shade nude to line my waterline. I used No.7 Stay Perfect mascara in Black which is currently one of my favourites for long eyelashes.
To finish off the face I used Nars laguna bronzer all over to add some colour back without using colour and highlighting with Urban Decay eyeshadow Virgin.
I then applied my rimmel lipstick with miss guided lipgloss on top for a nice neutral lip to finish everything off.

I love this make up, I can't wait to have a party I can wear it to! Hope you liked this kind of post and if you'd like to see more in this style let me know!

May Favourites!

Hello lovelies
Time for my May favourites! I don't think I've done a favourites post before!

Beauty

Here are all my beauty favs for the past month!
For nail polish I have picked Seche Vite top coat, Bikini So Tini from Essie and Fairy Dust from China Glaze. I got these in Florida and have just been absolutely loving them. Featured in this Haul with prices etc.
I have one skincare item which is my clinique moisturiser. I got this about 3 months ago and it really has made a huge difference to my skin. Definitely would like to try some more clinique skincare products.
For my Eyeshadow I have my beloved Naked 2 Palette. I have loved this ever since I got it in January. The colours are so beautifully pigmented and perfect for any look. Swatches here.
I have my rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner in Nude. I love putting this on my waterline. I literally use this everyday I wear makeup.
I then have 2 of the Maybelline Color Tattoos in Bad to the Bronze and Barley Branded. I have worn one of these two almost everyday since I got them. They are feature in this haul which has prices and where I got them along with the next few items. They are just beautiful as bases or on their on. Bad to the Bronze is a lovely neutral bronze and Barley Branded is a gorgeous champagne colour.
For lips my two favourites have been the L'oreal color riche in 172 Blushing Sequin and Maybelline Babylips in Cherry Me. They colours are quite similar in the swatch picture below but on the lips Blushing Sequin is a very wearable bright pink because of it's slight sheer glossy finish and Cherry Me is a sheer red.
I've also been loving NYX blusher in Peach, It just gives a beautiful flush to the cheeks and Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara. One of my favourite mascaras I've ever tried, it just makes my eyelashes look long and voluminous with zero clumping!
I find it really difficult to find foundations I like but this month I have found two! Rimmel Wake me up foundation is great for every day and is a very reasonable price and Laura Mercier is a pricey foundation but perfect for high coverage and for special occasions.

All three Nail Polishes Together. 3 Coats on Bikini So Tini (could get away with 2) 1 coat of Fairy Dust and a coat of Seche Vite.

Fashion

For my sort of Fashion Favourties I have my white converses. I got these in Florida and I've never owned converse before but I am in Love! They are so comfortable and go with everything!

My shorts from Asda. I LOVE these. They were so cheap but I wore them all the time when I was in Florida and I'm not usually a shorts kinda girl like I usually don't even take any shorts!

Lastly is This Necklace from Forever 21

Finally my other favourite is my Dog <3
Max is 7 years old and is a beautiful Golden cocker Spaniel who never lost his puppy cuteness! Isn't he just adorable. I always wonder if other people think he's as cute as I do or if i'm just biased!

Sunbathing in the garden together. Best Buds!

Hope you all had an amazing May! It was probably my favourite Month of the year so far and here's to a healthy happy amazing June!
