Maybelline XXL Mascara

It came to the time where i needed a new mascara, recently i haven't found any i love since a really old bourjois one which i really hard to get hold of, think they may have discontinued it :( So i searched the Internet and decided to try Maybellines XXL Mascara, which is a double ended mascara one white end and one black.

Step one; is a the white product with micro fibres that is said to tame, align and volumize lashes.

Step two; is the black mascara product which claims to extend your lashes hence the name.

I'm was actually quite impressed with this product to begin with for the price range i believe its a good product. I had no product fall under my eyes at the end of the day, and i felt it was easy to remove. It definitely did make my lashes appear longer although at times the mascara was clumpy due to having to use two steps of product.

One bad point Ive found is Ive only had it a few weeks and it actually started to dry up, to be honest i don't think you get a lot of product and therefore i probably wont repurchase this item.

I was recently browsing a new blog that I've found http://annieandthemannequinsvintage.blogspot.com and they did a post about mood changing nail varnish and mood rings. This took me back to my childhood, I'm sure many of you, can relate to the mood rings from your childhood. So i was inspired and started searching for mood changing nail varnish's here's a few images i found;

Mac Face and body

Mac Face and body foundation is one of those foundations you seem to hear a lot about, its one of those you think i must try this. It's been on my want list for quite a while so about a month or so ago i decided to go ahead and purchase.
Its got a watery like consistency, which once applies set on your face in seconds. It gives you a natural skin finish.

Here's mine in the shade C2:

And here's a swatch of the shade C2

Pro's:

Lightweight
Easy to apply
Gives a healthy dewy glow
As its got a thin consistency the bottle will last you quite a long while
Natural looking, so great for daytime looks
Its not really got a smell to it

Con's:

It seemed great for about a month and then it started to irritate my skin and broke me out
Won't cover spots up well
Depending on what coverage you want, sometimes its too minimal
Sometimes it made my skin oily (not nice)

For me this impressed to begin with but when i started to break out it was the end of my mac face and body.
So i continue the search for the best all around foundation...

A girl can dream right?
Bags, Bags and bags.
I love bags
I especially love classic designs there are so many different types, but if you buy one an expensive one i mean, it needs to be wearable and you want to be reassured its going to last. Below are some that's have caught my eye although i cants afford them , they're nice to look at!
