Joan collins Class act Mascara

Joan Collins class act mascara*

I feel like Mascaras aren't something that I regularly mention on my blog however this one is too brilliant not to mention. I'm not a big fan of mascara which adds a tonne of volume I more prefer one which just lengthens and adds a little bit of volume. This has the perfect brush for this as it is more of a bristle brush rather than a plastic one. This does a really beautiful job of curling the lashes and keeping the curl. It's also a super jet black which is something I look for in a mascara as I like my lashes to be pretty dark and defined. I really love the packaging and think it has a really sleek and high end look. It reminds me a lot of the Charlotte tilbury packaging and I think it's beautiful.

 

If you're on the lookout for a new mascara I would highly recommend you give this one a go.

 

 

The easiest and glammest lashes

 

Oh these lashes are so incredibly beautiful, I'm not a frequent lash wearer and whenever they do wear them they always feel a bit odd. However after trying the Kiss Lash Couture faux mink lashes I don't think i'm ever going to want to try another lash brand. These look so beautiful and blend with the natural lashes really nicely due to the fact they are so fine and natural. Obviously the two styles I've been trying out aren't the most daytime appropriate however for events these are perfect.

I find lashes hard to apply usually as it isn't something I do often however these were an absolute breeze and I got them on first time. Due to how dramatic they are the band is a little thicker however I'm not sure I would ever wear a lash as dramatic about this without any liner. Something I do love about the band however is that it is very flexible meaning there is no awkward curling up end which will not stick to the lid.



Kiss Lash couture Faux mink in Gala and Midnight £7.99 each*

My favourite out of the two styles I've tried is Midnight they are a little thick and more winged at the inner corners whereas Gala are more straight. I'm currently on the 4th wear of the Midnight lashes and they are still going strong so I definitely would suggest giving these a go if you are willing to put in a little effort and look after the lashes.

 

 

I think if you are on the lookout for some beautiful quite intense lashes then these are definitely ones which you should check out. As usual they are the same good quality as all kiss lashes and are definitely worth the slightly higher price than you would pay for a standard pair of drugstore lashes.

 



The best concealers for pale skin

 

Today I thought I would show you some of my favourite concealers for pale skin. I find that a lot of concealers aren't pale enough to highlight so today I thought I would share some of my favourites for my fellow Casper's.

 

Urban Decay Naked skin concealer - Fair neutral

 

This is the palest concealer I have ever used. I love this one for highlighting under the eye as it is the most beautiful creamy hydrating concealer. This is incredible for anyone who has dry skin but I've also heard so many amazing things about this from people who have oily skin too.

 

Rimmel Match perfection concealer - Ivory

 

This is a beautiful lightweight concealer which works really nicely on both blemishes and under the eyes. It's not the highest coverage however it's a really nice one for everyday use. The only issue I have is that I'm not a fan of the fact that it is a brush applicator.

 

Urban decay, Rimmel, Bourjois, Clarins, NYX.

Bourjois Radiance reveal concealer - Light

 

This is the most beautiful light under eye concealer. This is a really lovely pink toned pale shade which is perfect for my skin tone. I can't use this one on blemishes as it is incredibly radiant.

 

Clarins Instant concealer - Light

 

I think I have to say that this is my favourite concealer of all time. It feels beautifully lightweight but also offers an incredibly high coverage. This looks incredible both under the eyes and on any blemishes and leave the most lovely dewy finish on the skin.

 

NYX HD concealer - Porcelain

 

This is almost as pale as the Urban Decay one. This is a little thicker and can be a little clingy on really dry patches. However if my skin is just a little dry it is completely fine. It also works really nicely as a highlight under the eyes.

The Everyday makeup post

Today I thought I would show you some of the products I have been reaching for in the past couple of months for a super neutral makeup look.

You will probably know if you are a regular reader that I absolutely love the Bare Minerals complexion rescue for everyday. It is a beautiful light really hydrating base which adds just enough coverage and leaves the skin with the most beautiful glowy finish. Then another ultimate favourite is the Clarins instant concealer which is just the best high coverage but light textured concealer. This base combo is exactly what I need for everyday as I want something which packs a punch coverage wise but feels incredibly comfortable and looks really glowy.

For the rest of the face I have been reaching for my Urban Decay beached bronzer to add a little colour as this is just the perfect bronzer in my opinion. Then for blush I have been loving Benefit Galifornia which is a stunning slightly corally pink with a very subtle gold sheen meaning it just makes the skin look beautifully healthy. Then for highlight I've been starting off with a little bit of Benefit Watts as a base and then I have been putting the Urban Decay Afterglow highlight in Sin which is a little bit paler and less golden than Watts up and I just love the combination.

Moving onto the eyes I've been a little obsessed with the Bobbi Brown gel liner in the shade Sepia Ink which is a gorgeous deep brown shade. I just think this is the perfect way to add a little more thickness to the lash line and sometimes I do end up with a little wing if I'm wanting something a little more polished. Then for mascara I've been reaching for the Gosh Rebel eyes mascara which I just absolutely love. It does a perfect job of really lengthening the lashes. Then for my brows I have as per usual been using the Anastasia dip brow which everyone and their dog loves. Then finally to finish off I've been using the Gerard cosmetics Hydra matte liquid lipstick in the shade everything nice which is a beautiful deep nude.

So that's it for today, I'd love to know what you reach for on an everyday basis.
