SUMMER PROOF BEAUTY || Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara...


Ok so I think I've found my new ABSOLUTE favourite mascara .. Like, oh my gosh it's AHH-mazing!!

Every time I try a mascara by Maybelline it becomes my new favourite!

A few months ago I reviewed The Rocket & Great Lash which at the time was my favourite combination of waterproof mascaras, but I fell completely in love after trying their new Lash Sensational Mascara.



I LOVE the brush, it is curved and has different lengths of rubber bristles. I use the medium and short length ones to start with to apply most of the product on, then I use the longest bristles to comb through and separate my lashes. 


And you can see the final result (I do curl my lashes beforehand). Literally the most glorious lashes I've ever had!

If you need a new mascara soon, go out, get this and try it.
And at £7.99 you really won't be disappointed!

SUMMER PROOF BEAUTY || Anastasia Beverly Hills - Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown...


I am going to do a short series of Summer Proof beauty products, here is my first product...

I absolutely love this brow product by Anastasia Beverly Hills, I had the blonde colour last year but soon after started wearing my hair darker so I got this colour - Dark Brown - it is quite a neutral brown, great for medium brown to dark brown hair.

I chose this over the Brow Wiz because you get so much more product in this than you do with the Brow Wiz Pencil by Anastasia.

Pomade - 4 grams - £15.00
Brow Wiz - 0.08 grams - £15.50

I got my Dipbrow on Beauty Bay as they offer 11 different shades ranging from blonde to granite and free tracked delivery on orders over £10.



I really like the luxurious looking packaging, a glass container with classy black lid and metallic writing; I also think the logo is really cute.

I took this photos in direct sunlight so you can get a good idea of what the colour looks like and below you will find swatches on my hand and what it looks like on my eyebrows.






I use the Wing Liner Brush by Zoeva to apply it because it is thin but firm so you can create a clean lines with it, I then use disposable mascara wands (cheap off eBay) to soften the edges and blend together, especially near the front.

I have a scar in my right eyebrow which this covers really well and it stays on all day long, even through sweating at the gym.

If you're going to spend money on a good brow product it definitely has to be this as it will last a really long time. Well worth the money!

Hope you found this useful, any questions ask in the comments and I will get back to you asap.

LiLash & LiBrow Serum (*) ...


I received these off the lovely team at LiLash about 3 months ago and have been using them since for me to review for you now.

They sell 2 different products with 2 different sizes which you can buy here.

LiLash (*)

LiBrow (*)


They came well packaged in a cute box and even came with a diamante handbag sized mirror (above) with the LiLash logo on it. Perfect for checking your make up on the go. Everthing was super high quality.





Above you can the they have different brushes, to the left is the more sturdy LiBrow applicator and on the right is the softer more flexible LiLash applicator. They both are clear serums and the tubes were made of some sort of metal so felt very luxurious.

Below you can see the difference it made over 3 months, I used it pretty much everyday when I remembered to apply it. I did it in the morning before applying my make up, letting it dry fully before putting my make up on.

I have definitely noticed a difference in my eye lashes especially, they are darker and longer. My sister even noticed the difference when I had no make up on, she commented on how dark and long my lashes were looking.

I have HD Brows on a regular basis so am not sure if I have noticed a huge difference from using the LiBrow, but if there is something different about my brows it would be that I now stronger growing brow hairs.

A few things I did notice whilst using LiLash was that when I first started using the serum it made my eyelids a little sore but nothing that didn't bother me, after a few applications it went away. 
And the other thing was that my lashes went through phases of sparseness where they had come out, usually one eye at a time; it wasn't like all my lashes fell out, just here and there would be a section of slightly less lashes. 
I think this was maybe to make room for new stronger and darker lashes to grow.


They are quite pricey but if you think that one of these tubes will either last you over 3 months for the smaller size and over 6 months for the larger size it doesn't seem so bad. I however do not have that kind of money to repurchase these.

The smaller size is £53.93 for 2.95ml. (around £18 per month for 3 months)
The larger size is £94.37 for 5.91ml. (around £16 per month for 6 months)

Hope you enjoyed this post and found it useful.

Adore Me || Lashes & Lingerie + Favourite Lipstick...

I'm really looking forward to summer and this piece of lingerie by Adore Me really caught my eye!

This is called the Cleo Contour, I love the bright summer yellow which I think would really pop against healthy tanned summer skin (which I definitely don't have yet!). 

Bring on the sunshine!!



I thought that this set would go well with a no-make up make up look. 
Just perfected natural skin and subtle brown shades of eye shadow with a smoked out lash line. 
Just let the lingerie do the talking...




One of my most favourite lipsticks is Revlon's super lustrous lipstick in 'Mink'. It is a beautiful neutral brown which is not too light and not too dark. It is my go to colour on most days. I feel this lipstick gives this overall look a bit of an edge. If not just add some lip balm for soft lips.
I like strong brows but you can make yours more subtle than I have in the picture above.

Head over to their website to check out the other sexy lingerie they do!
