L'oreal Volume Million Luminizer

Volume Million Luminizer for Hazel Eyes

Do you ever a reach for a product so much that you actually start to take it a bit for granted? Well that’s what I did with product. As I was using this the other night I realised I haven’t really highlighted my love for this on my blog enough so here is its moment to shine.

The Volume Million Luminizer for Hazel Eyes is my ultimate favourite mascara for a night out. I have repurchased this countless times and I still have no desire to search for an alternative.

The number 1 thing I love about this mascara is the brush; it is actually a proper brush and grabs each of my lashes creating lovely length and volume without it looking clumpy or spider lash like.

The colour on the want terrified me at first glance but as you can see from the photos it doesn't really translate on to my lashes like that. The purple colour is specifically designed to enhance the look of Hazel eyes, I'm not really sure that my eyes do look enhanced but this is easily forgiven as the end result of my lashes is second to none.

This Mascara retails at £10.99 which is creeping up towards the higher end for a high street mascara but to be honest I think the picture of my lashes speak for themselves.

What do you think? Do you have a specific ‘go to’ evening mascara?

I Heart...Rimmel

The Rimmel Face

Today I am focusing on the high street make up Brand Rimmel London. I didn't actually realise how many Rimmel products I owned and loved, some of them are my everyday ‘go to’ pieces that I couldn't live without and a few that I crack out for more special occasions.

First up is the Stay Matte Pressed Powder, I use this over my foundation every day without fail; it sets my foundation beautifully and keeps unwanted shine at bay. There is no need for me to try and find anything ‘better’ or more high end as I'm more than happy with the job this does.

If you’re looking for an eye liner that won’t budge then The Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer is what you need, it’s pretty much made your water line and stays in place all day

.

I have recently purchased the Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl in nude. I read a lot about this online and as im a big fan of their black I didn't hesitate to pick this up. Again it has great staying power and is perfect for covering up any eye redness and giving you a  natural look.

Another new product to me is the Scandaleyes Eye Shadow stick. This is so easy to apply that even if you’re not an eyeshadow expert like myself you can still create a gorgeous look. The formula is lovely and creamy and has great pigmentation. I Have Bulletproof Beige and I especially like to use this in the inner corner of my eyes.

Rimmel lip products are always popluar with bloggers especially the Kate moss collection and most recently the Apocalips, so obviously I joined the hype. The Kate Moss lipstick in 107 is one of my favourites for going out in, I love the colour pay off and it stays so long on my lips. I'm also loving Apocalips in Celestial which is perfect for adding a bit of glam to an everyday look.

What do you think, have Rimmel impressed you lately? What other high street brands are you loving?

I Do Like To Be Beside The Sea..

This weekend I travelled up to sunny (yes it was actually sunny!) Yorkshire for my Mums Birthday, her family all live up there so it was nice so get away for the weekend and see people that we probably haven’t seen since last year.

First of all I can’t believe how lucky we were with the weather; it’s been so cold these last few months so of course I made sure I packed jumpers but it was so nice to walk along the sea front without wearing a coat!

No trip to the seaside is complete with fish and chips and they do the biggest portions! I only managed to eat about half but it was sooo good! Obviously there was still room afterwards for ice cream.

In the evening we went out for a big family meal and my chicken with chorizo, spinach and goat’s cheese was definitely the winning dish, it was delicious.

We stayed in a cute little b&b along the sea front and I always love waking up and having breakfast cooked for me it just tastes better. We finished the morning by having a stroll along the beach before meeting back up with the family for drinks and a carvery.

The sun seems to have gone back in now so I hope that means spring isn't over already, let’s hope it comes back this weekend. Anyway, enough wishing I am back at the beach, back to work for me after a cheeky cup if tea of course.

Dainty Doll Blush, You are my Sunshine

004 You are My Sunshine

I was so excited when I found out Dainty Doll were on Fragrance Direct and, like a lot of other bloggers I was quick of the mark to make a purchase. From the range of products they had on the website, for me the stand out products were the blushes.

The packaging is so classy, I love the box it comes in the lady on the front adds that bit of quirkiness but still gives the product a high end look. The compact itself is very sleek and contains a huge mirror perfect for on the go touch ups if needed.

If you’re not immediately won over by the packaging then the product itself will definitely help.

You Are My Sunshine is a gorgeous peach toned blush with a golden shimmer running through it, I would say perfect for summer but I think the winter is here to stay in the UK for a good while yet! The gold shimmer adds a lovely highlight and gives my cheeks a healthy glow. The pigmentation is fantastic and the blush applies beautifully. Can you tell I like this product?

Nicola Roberts designed her products specifically for pale skin girls but really this blush will suit most skin tones.

The Dainty Doll Blushes usually retail for £13.50 so to pick this up for just £1.99 is an absolute steal. After using this product I would go as far as saying that it definitely is worth its high end price tag and could easily be on a par with the quality of a MAC Blush, but at £1.99 what are you waiting for!?

Have you tried any Dainty Doll Products yet?
