The Best Primer... EVER!!

I have been on a hunt for the holy grail primer for years and finally my search is complete. And the winner is.... *drumroll* Lancome La Base Pro!

 This cost £26 so it definitely on of the more expensive primers on the market. However, I really think it is worth it because the effect is excellent and one of the only primers that seems to do anything! It doesn't feel like other silicone primers and isn't at all oily/greasy. It has a beautiful finish which minimises fine lines and pores (especially around my nose). This product is great for both under make up and solo for those 'no make up' days.

Thanks for reading!

Model Co. Fibre Lash Review and Demonstration

I was sent this mascara system by Boots to review for their website. It retails for £35 and the campaign is supported by Danni Minogue. It consists of a mascara and a tube of 'fibres'. The mascara didn't quite float my boat as I really didn't get on with the wand but the fibres could be used with pretty much any mascara to create beautiful long lashes. Layering coats of mascara, fibres, mascara fibres etc. will give you added drama and beautiful (yet clumpy looking) lashes which could be comparable to wearing false lashes but without the hassle.

Overall, I like the effect and my lashes are considerably longer and fuller, without being crunchy.

Glamour Goodies ft. Benefit Cosmetics!

Hello lovelies! Just thought that I'd let you know that glamour are doing their annual Benefit giveaway. I have to say that I was slightly let down this year but this is probably due to the overly generous full sized Eye Bright, It stick and BadGal pencil that were given away last year :( Anyway, I still got three copies of glamour which cost £6 with £28 worth of products in. The size of these products was reasonably small with only 4 ml of product in each.

My favourite has to be High Beam as i found it easiest to blend. I really didn't like Posie Tint because it was pretty streaky and uneven looking. Benetint is an absolutely legendary product which was originally made as a 'nipple stain' I believe! It gives a pigmented yet still natural red flush to cheeks and lips and has relatively good staying power! Here are the swatches:

Thanks for reading and I hope you pick these little beauties up!
