Free Benefit They're Real Miniature Mascara in ELLE!

I highly suggest you stop what you're doing, go out and get your hands on this months copy of ELLE magazine. You get a mini version of Benefits They're Real mascara! The mascara would cost you £9.50 but ELLE magazine costs £4 so when you think about it, you're saving yourself £5.50 and getting a magazine thrown in as well! How could you say no?

So quick, go now!

Chanel le vernis in Starlet (575)

As soon as I saw this shade I KNEW I had to have it. It just seems like the most perfect shade I've ever seen...so I got onto eBay and managed to nab it for £11 including postage! Bargain!

It's from their spring 2013 collection inspired by cinema and each of the four nail colours have corresponding lip colours (I would love one but my purse says no). 

I personally would prefer a bigger brush but the gorgeous colour makes up for it.

It is still available in Debenhams and retails for £18.

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara!

I think this is probably the best make up item I have ever bought in my life. No joke. I have always struggled with smudging of mascara underneath my eyes so when I heard about Clinique bottom lash mascara from Tanya Burr, I decided I would give it a go.

The wand itself is so tiny which makes it good for people who don't have a steady hand or who tend to get mascara on their skin when doing their bottom lashes.

I got it in black but you can also get it in brown.

The formulation is magical, it doesn't smudge, it doesn't flake. I'm yet to cry with it on but I bet it still wouldn't budge! 

My step mum saw me with this on and said "wow, they look like false ones!" which isn't far off the truth, my lashes are separated and longer when I wear this mascara. It will definitely be a staple in my makeup collection.

It retails for £11 you can get it from boots, Debenhams, online etc.

Rimmel Apocalips in Celestial Review.

I realise I'm late to the party with this one but I wanted to test it out properly before I wrote about it.  I only got one colour because these lip lacquers don't smell very nice, it's not awful but it's not nice and that's what puts me off.  I'm really funny when it comes to things that have the "makeup smell" which this does, I just don't like it on my face, I purposely smell foundations before I buy them to avoid it! Having said that, apocalips isn't so bad, it's bearable.

Smell aside this product is amazing.  The colour payoff is incredible! Complete opacity is achieved with just one coat and it lasts.  A whole day shopping in Birmingham and I only had to reapply 3 times (we went to starbucks, had lunch, had dinner) so it is a real winner.

I probably wouldn't buy another shade, simply just because of the smell but if you can get over it, this is a wonderful product.  The shade selection isn't that bad either.  On first glance some of the colours seem a bit garish but when applied look lovely.

You can get this product at boots, superdrug...it's not that hard to find, it's everywhere! RRP around £6.

Madison ave-hue by Essie.

Madison ave-hue is one of Essie's shades for their 2013 spring collection, a gorgeous "barbie" pink with tiny glitter particles sparingly suspended in it. 

As always with essie, the quality is lovely and I fully appreciate the big brush making application easy, even and smooth! 

I like to put on two top coats with this particular shade because one doesn't quite give the beautiful glossy effect I love on my nails. I would advise you use a base coat because it did stain my nails, not that I minded too much because they looked a healthy pink!

I definitely recommend this shade, you can get it at most boots stores and online and it retails at £7.99.
