Velvet Lashes

Hello beautiful readers,

 

Hope you are all well. I am so excited for christmas and trying to get all the finishing touches completed. Todays review is around a brand, Yves Rocher a french brand that brings glamour and great value. I was lucky enough to be sent these three products.

 

Yves Rocher Lipstick.

 

This moisturising lipstick is in the shade Rose Alba. This particular lipstick is quite sheer, it adds a subtle pink finish to the lips, in comparison with MAC finishes it is a frost finish. The lipstick is such a pretty colour, it left my lips moisturised but I did need to reapply frequently.

 

Have you tried any of the Yves Rocher range?

Hello Loveys! 

Todays post is a review of the *Yves Rocher Sexy Pulp Volume Mascara a mascara loved by the fabulous Zoella from the world of youtube. This mascara retails at £16.90,  which made me think woah there that's a price tag so expected big things. As you may know my all time favourite mascara is the Maxfactor Calorie 2000, recently I discovered another favourite in the Loreal Miss Manga, I am very critical of mascaras so was intrigued to see the outcome of this mascara, I like my lashes long and thick.






I opened the wand and saw a wavy shaped mascara head, many people dislike large mascara heads but I prefer them so was pleased when I saw this. I applied the mascara and was amazed at how many lashes I have! The bristles are dense and pick each lash up to lengthen and add natural volume, the mascara made my eyes look bigger with each lash defined and lengthened. I would highly recommend this mascara as it is one you can wear for day to night as it gets your lashes thicker and fuller with each coat.

Grab this mascara whilst you can as its on for £9.00!! Definitely worth every penny, here is the link.

Here are some photos with the mascara on, I used two coats, excuse the horrific brows!

 

Hi loveys!

 

Todays review is on the highly promoted Loreal Mega Volume Miss Manga mascara that promises to give "mega volume from top to bottom lashes". Did this mascara tempt me away from my holy grail Maxfactor Calorie 2000 mascara or did it leave me gutted I wasted my money?

 

This mascara is appealing to the eye with its metallic pink top and black bottom half with pink writing, it is chunky which I normally don't like as find it difficult to use, I would much prefer a slim handle but cant have it all can we! The mascara has a large plastic wand which picks up a lot of product, the wand does bend which I found odd at first but when using this I found that the flexible head helped me when applying.

The product applied easily and at first didn't make a lot of difference to my lashes, but as I applied again I was starting fall in love with the mascara! It fanned out my lashes, added volume and length, it was easy to use on my bottom lashes and put it straight in my daily use makeup bag!

 

This is certainly a winner and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to try a new mascara, it is such a good mascara and is great for use from day to night as you can build layers easily.

 

I got this on offer in Boots for £4.99 but it will retail at £8.99.

 

Have you tried this mascara? if so what did you think?

Compare the Mascaras! Here is where I will be comparing three mascaras, reviewing them and picking a favourite.

 

MeMeMe Fat Cat Mascara. £7.99

Fat Cat Mascara by MeMeMe is available for £7.99, it was a mascara that I recieved in my February Glossybox. This mascara states it "creates lashes full of volume and alluring depth" this mascara has a large brush, which i personally prefer but does it do what it states? I wouldnt say it adds depth, but it sure seperates each lash and add length, I personally feel this mascara is great as a lash length primer then add a volumising mascara on top which would have great results. Also, if you want a natural look this is perfect for that, but the one thing that can be off puting is the smell, but only if you actually put it to your nose do you smell the odd scent!

6/10.

Benefit They're Real Mascara retails at an expensive £18.50!! In my eyes for that price it needs to show results. This mascara has had some great reviews, I was intrigued to see what all the fuss was about, and at first I was not disapointed, it even made a favourite, but as time got on I became to not be best pleased. At first this mascara gave me long lashes with its thick brush yet small bristles, it has a handy ball at the end which helps seperate the bottom lashes and ive got to say it is effective, but as time went on I noticed more niggles, such as actually it doesnt thicken my lashes in a way that reflects the price and it clumps! It has started to annoy me a lot, I only got this december and within a month I noticed how badly it left clumps. I wouldnt repurchase this.
