My Top Drugstore Mascaras

1 comment

Hello everyone. Firstly I'd just like to apoligise for completely failing my new years resolution of posting more in 2015. It's almost the end of January and I've only managed to post 3 times...nonetheless today I thought I'd show you my top drugstore mascaras. These are all really affordable and are great for an everyday basis too.

1. Seventeen Clear Definition Brow Gel/Eye Mascara 


Not only is product great for a natural look on your lashes, it can also be used for your brows. Personally, I prefer a coloured mascara for my lashes and I choose to use this on an everyday basis to set my eyebrows and keep them in shape. This product is really long lasting and will keep my brows in place all day.


2. No7 Extreme Length Extend / black


I got this mascara in a No7 giftset last Christmas and although its only a half-size, I was quite surprised at how well it works on my lashes. It really does what it says on the packaging and extends the length of my lashes really well. I like to use this on my bottom lashes. One downside is I find that sometimes it is quite dry which causes it to break off quite easily and leave little clumps on my face if I wear it for long periods of time.


3. Rimmel Wonder'full mascara


Of all the mascaras in this post, this is by far my favourite at the moment. I picked this up a few months ago and haven't put it down since! I use it everyday on my lashes and it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge (and also isn't too dry) Also because it contains argan oil it leaves my lashes feeling really conditioned and soft.


4. MUA Extreme Curl Mascara


This definitely has to be the best value-for-money mascara of the bunch considering it's only £2. I know MUA isn't exactly renowned for it's amazing quality but this mascara is actually better than some higher-end mascaras (in my opinion) This really does help curl your lashes and really lengthens them. I really love the formula of the product as well, as it's quite wet but also dries really quickly.

My everyday makeup routine

1 comment

Hello lovelies. Since it's been a long time since I did my everyday makeup routine I thought I'd do it again today, but instead of doing a post I decided to make a video instead.

This was quite a big deal for me because I'm not that confident but I'm hoping to continue making videos and improving.

I hope you enjoy

Some people see the new year as a 'new year, new you' a time to forget about the last year and start again. For me it's a bit different. I don't think that when a new year rolls round it's a time to erase yourself and turn yourself into someone new; it's a time to improve yourself and make yourself the best version of you. It's a time to reflect on the year before and think about all the resolutions you wanted to achieve that year but never actually ended up doing. 

This year I want things to be different. I want to actually achieve the things I set out to do out and the beginning of the year. If you want to achieve something, you have to do more than just hope and wish for it, you have to go out and make it happen, and that's exactly what I plan to do this year. I want to make this year special; something that I'll remember.

The beach is somewhere I like to go when I'm looking for inspiration. Some people find their inspiration in other people or the place around them. For me this is true, but for me the beach is like my safe haven. It's a place for me to disconnect from the virtual world and actually connect with the world. Some people don't like pebbly beaches in england because there isn't miles of golden sand to relax on or the more-often-than-not cloudy sky, but for me I prefer it. This is the beach down on the south coast near some of my family. While the beach near me consists of miles of soft sand and a comforting grey sea, this is my favourite place, so naturally it's somewhere I want to visit more this year.

I want 2015 to be the year I finally pluck up enough courage to pick up a camera and make a youtube video - something I've wanted to do for the last year and half-  meet new friends - and spend more time with old ones - blog more, take more photos, travel more. I want to look back in a year's time and be happy with how I spent this year. There are so many things I want to do.

some of my new years goals for 2015:
-blog lots
-take more photos
-make more friends
-travel to new places
-start a youtube channel (maybe)
-care less about what other people think
-be more positive
-meet my inspirations (Zoe, Joe, Alfie, Louise)
-keep reading lots
-write more

Let's make this year the best year. Do what you want to do and make sure it makes you happy. 
Happy new year
