bblogger beauty beautyblogger beautybox eyeko glamour honestreview makeup mascara review triedandtested wipes

 Okay first product review from my Glamour Beauty Box (http://jessdisney90.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/2014) and it's the Eyeko 'Mascara Off' makeup wipes. There are only 10 in a pack so you'd either have to stock up or choose wisely and you can buy them here: http://www.eyeko.com/eyeko-mascara-off

The product is oil based and is specifically designed to take off eye makeup, in particular mascara. They're fairly small sized wipes as well so definitely don't waste the back!

Firstly, I don't wear a LOT of mascara, just enough to make a difference, but I do wear Benefit's 'They're Real' which is a buggar to remove so I wondered if these would be a bit better at the task than others!

The packet said to hold the wipe onto the eye for 5-10 seconds for the oil to do its thing, which I did, and then I wiped carefully along my eye and over my top and bottom lashes. As you can see from the picture of the wipe it takes a lot off! They're really soft and gentle on eyes so it doesn't feel like you're scrubbing your lashes off either :)

The last picture shows what they look like afterwards.

There are 2 issues that I have with the wipes:

1) The amount in the packet. If you wear mascara all the time then you'll go through these ridiculously quickly and they aren't cheap!

2) They didn't take ALL of my mascara off :S I got out of the bath and still had residue and woke up this morning with some under my eyes too! I'm not sure if it's just because my mascara is such a toughie to remove though. However, again, for the price and quantity if there's still mascara left it's a lot to spend!

Have you used these before? What did you think?

It's hereeeeeee! Sorry it took a longggg time but there was a LOT of stuff and I share a camera with the bf so that caused logistical issues!

Anyway, here it is, my SUPER HAUL! There won't be one like this for a while I can imagine :P 

 I really wanted to just dive on this pile and cover myself in it, but I restrained myself :) (P.S. Click the individual images to go to the product on the site)

First up are these ridiculously amazeballs jumpers from 'Alice Takes a Trip' they're super cosy and roomy and the only pastel pink things I own!

 Fedora currently not on site!

ALL of these lovelies were from MissGuided! I've only ever bought one thing from there before but there was just too much I liked this time around :)

 

I bought these from Miss Pap in the sale, I couldn't resist as they were a fiver! As you can probably imagine, they are gone completely now but go browse the site as there's some really good stuff!

Both of these babies were from In The Style. They're just really fun and casual which I love. I've worn both of them and you definitely get some looks with the boobie top! (Also the perkiest they have ever been haha)

 I haddd to buy the NAKED palette from Urban Decay, everyone loves it and now I know why, eyeshadow is now the easiest thing ever! Bought mine from Feel Unique as you get two free little samples of random things (I got a CC cream and Burberry fragrance)

I haven't bought anything from Toppers in a long time, but i've had my eye on these ripped mom jeans for a while so I NEEDED to buy them, and a buy from Topshop wouldn't be complete without lipstick (I LOVE their lippies!) 

 

Fiiiiiinally I bought this gorgeous fantastic amazing wonderous coat from River Island. It has to be the best coat ever, it's functional and practical but looks FAF. Leather sleevy bits, parka material, zips AND poppers, a big ol hood, detachable fur AND it's furry inside! Why would you not want to own this?! Haha.

So that is the end of my online haul :) I love EVERYTHING i've bought and everything came surprisingly quickly too which was a bonus!

bblogger beauty beautyblogger benefit criminallyeasy eyeliner happy lashes makeup mascara review theyrereal transformation trichotillomania truereview

For a large portion of my life I have had a problem with my eyelashes. I used to have lovely lashes like normal people, but then I developed Trichotillomania.

http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/trichotillomania/Pages/introduction.aspx

I began pulling out my eyelashes to the point where I had next to none left and they didn't grow back for a long time. I felt horrible that I did it to myself and felt awful unless I wore mascara (Which when you have nothing to put it on, is REALLY hard FYI.)

After a little while they slowly began coming back, but even wearing mascara, I didn't feel right and no mascara seemed able to falsify anything in the lash department for me. This is what I tended to look like:

I saw recently on Instagram the new Benefit 'They're Real' range and everyone was raving about it. I'm not normally one to go with the hype but I was curious, I've always been a Benefit girl and had gone through a hardcore phase (before the pulling out) of wearing Bad Gal. As I was headed to America on holiday I decided that I'd go ahead and give it a try...

AND I'M SO GLAD I DID!!! LOOK!

I'm not usually one to coat on the mascara, I like to be able to open my eyes if I'm honest, and I stay true to that with this mascara.

It is so easy to wiggle on, and I actually seem to have eyelashes now! They look noticeably longer and fuller and thicker and give the illusion of 'natural' falsies. I am in love.

I feel SO much more confident about my eyes lately and it sounds really cheesy but it is because of this mascara, it's CRAZY! Also i've definitely been having less of an urge to pull them out which tbh is amazeballs. <3 you Benefit.

I also bought the push-up liner from the range as I needed a new one and I have never found one that I get on with really well, so again I thought i'd see how it went. Totally LOVED it. 

 I found it tricky to get to grips with at first and kept just blobbing gel on my eyes which wasn't fun, but after a few practices I think I've got it!

The angle makes it super easy to follow the shape of your eye and it gives a consistent coverage as you go. 

I don't do 'barely there' liner and this is perfect for that as it's bold and dramatic. Creating flicks and wings are super easy too as you just angle the nib and go. 

 (Also used LOADS of my mascara here as I was going out...I felt like I was wearing falsies!)

Overall Benefit have made me the happiest girl in the world recently and I've definitely stepped up my make-up game haha. I've already asked for more as a Christmas pressie :)

advice bblogger beauty beautyblogger brows eyebrows help makeup rimmel

OK so I have alwaaaays struggled with my eyebrows, i've never liked them; they're uneven, I hate their shape and their colour! Just aarghhh!

It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I discovered brow pencils and they've been my saviour ever since,I'm never without one. Just when I thought i'd got it down, I found out that there's brow gels and brow powders too and now I feel completely clueless.

At the moment I have serioussss brow envy on IG and need to have a try around with different products. If anyone has any great starting points it would be really helpful...

I currently use Rimmel's brow pencil in dark brown, but I think it might be too dark for me!

Let me know what you think.

Phew! I've finally been able to relax this weekend :)

I've had a rather hectic weekend; after work on Friday I had an hour to be ready to get up to Brighton for a night out...Panic stations! (It was a nightmare, especially as my face just did not want to stop sweating.) This is what I ended up looking like, which tbh i'm quite proud of:

Tried to go for a dark red lip and live outside the box a little! (Barry M)

Also my flower crown is from http://instagram.com/summer_crown

After trawling the shops during the week I managed to find this little beauty to wear from New Look;

I absoloutely loveee it! It's super bright and summery whilst not being too short or see through :)

 Really enjoyed my night out in Brighton and did a hell of a lot of dancing which equalled very sweaty hair! However it came in useful the next day when I went out to Crayford dogs as I just sprayed and scrunched!

My gorgeous top was from http://www.spoiledbrat.co.uk in the sale :)

Overall I had a super fun Friday and Saturday and today my bf managed to find this gem in a charity shop...

 Perfect!

 

 

barrym bblogger beauty benefit makeup rimmel soapandglory style topshop

I thought I would do a 'what's inside my makeup bag' post. I like to keep things minimal and struggle with change, so it's pretty simple!

Inside:

• Hoola bronzer by Benefit
• Boi-ing concealer by Benefit
• Thick and fast mascar by Soap and Glory
• Sexy mother pucker lipgloss by Soap and Glory
• Eyebrow pencil by Rimmel
• Cream eyeshadow by Ted Baker
• Deep red lipstick by Barry M
• 'Beatnik' lipstick by Topshop 

I am also using Rimmel's tranlucent powder as a base at the moment.
 I'm looking to buy a new foundation and eyeliner whilst on holiday in Florida soon so hopefully my bag will be upgraded!

I really have to reccommend all of these products! They really do the job and turn my zombie face into something acceptable!
 

bblogger beauty blue fblogger nails notd pink pretty primark

For my birthday I was bought two GORGEOUS bright pink and blue nail varnished from Primark's beauty range. I couldn't wait to wear them and got to painting my (horrendous) nails right away!

Painting my nails never usually goes very well, however I found the brush the perfect size for my nails and the varnish was a great consistency. The colour looked just as bold and bright as it did in the pot and didn't require any more than 2 coats. (The blue only needed one really!)

Overall, I'm really impressed and currently have my nails both blue and pink :)
