Review- Benefit, They're real mascara.

THEY'RE REAL MASCARA

Okay, so this mascara is on the scene a good while now. Its probably one of Benefits most popular product which has such a huge hype around it. But, believe me all you have heard is true.
This is one product which definitely lives up to its expectations and more.

 My friend told me to try this mascara a year ago and since then no mascara has came close to it. It just gives you the most beautiful and long lashes. It real is unbelievable. Since I started wearing this product so many people have actually asked me if my lashes were individual eyelash extensions/false lashes. I didn't even notice the impact the product had on myself as much as others did. The products brush is so cleverly designed almost a comb effect yet still some substance and thickness to it. This gives the lashes thickness yet the comb like effect of the brush keep lashes from clumping. It just has such a good balance to it. The end of the brush is what I really love the most about it. Its comes out from the wand in a almost ball like shape with even more bristles. This is absolutely ideal for your bottom lashes. Sometimes I will hold the wand up right like a (lolly pop stick if that makes sense) and just gently go back and fort along the bottom lashes to give a very natural and swept out finished to the lower lashes rather then over doing them. This ball pointed end of the wand is also great to get to those hard to reach lashes at the inner corner of the eye! Other mascaras can just gather to much product here and trying to get in a the inner corner can become VERY messy, unlike with this mascara. The ball pointed end is also great for if any lashes do happen to get stuck together you can easily separate them using it, or you can even us the point of it to push up the lashes from their root to give an extra curl. Listen the possibilities are just endless. If you play around with enough I grantee you will find even more things to do with it!  

Like with any mascara the newness of the product wears of pretty quick. (trying to think of some bad points) Other than that it is an all round brilliant product! I don't know what I did with myself before this little baby came into my life. (Slightly dramatic) 

If your going to treat yourself to any new makeup this is the product you should be buying it isn't just a want but it is a necessity! The way you look at your mascara will be changed forever.

My everyday contour powder.

HARMONY



This product is my absolute favorite thing that I have in my makeup bag right now and it has been for some while. 
So many people have asked me to do a review on what product I use contour my face. So here it is and I hope it helps

Harmony is a powder blush from MAC. I don't tend to use this product as a blush that often. Instead I use it every day to contour my face and sometimes I even use it in the crease of my eyes to contour them too. It really is an amazing product. It has an ashy tone to it which is prefect for blondes but still suitable for others. I couldn't leave the house without it. It gives the most natural contour for day time. It is just a brilliant product and for me it has no flaws! I have only good to say about it. You don't need to much of the colour, which means you will have this product for ages. Me and my Mam use this product everyday and I have only recently finished the one I bought two years ago! There isn't any need to reapply it is pretty long lasting.


When contouring the face always start with only a little bit of the product on the brush.Remember you can always build up the product but its harder to take it away. I like to use my Real techniques contour brush alongside this product. It blends it into the skin perfectly. I contour below the cheek bone, if your unsure to where yours are just suck in your cheeks (you may look like a fish in the process, but afterwards you will look great trust me). I gradually sweep the product up past my temples and just around the hairline, try not to over do it with the product less is more.   


So the only thing left for me to say is BUY IT, it will do you no wrong.
