KIKO ultimate pen

Welcome back to my page,

Today I wanted to share my recent find with you, It is the KIKO ultimate pen, long lasting black eyeliner. 

If you are anything like me liquid eyeliner scares me! Infact I'm rubbish at it, so this tip make the whole experience 10 times easier. I love this and I can tell I will use this as an everyday/handbag liquid liner when your out and about and doing things, The design of the pen makes it so effortless to use and easy to make many different kinds of thick/thin liner styles. The tip is like a Berol felt tip, it bends with your pressure and it is easy to build so you can apply  much or as little as you like. 

I Especially love the shape of the grip on the pen where you would usually hold it while applying the liner. The liner stays put for about 5\6 hours then it does start to smudge but nothing major.

They sell this in the KIKO stores for £6.90 which I don't think is too bad & they often have deals on, yesterday I picked one up for £4.00, thank you very much :)

Whats your favourite liquid eyeliner?

Glo mineral lash thickener and conditioner

Glo minerals lash thickener and conditioner

What it is:
Treat and nourish your way to thicker, longer and softer lashes.

What it's used for:
gloLash Thickener and Conditioner is a nutrient-rich base that wraps the lashes in a conditioning, vitamin-rich formulation. Botanical waxes, green tea leaf extract and vitamins nourish, protect and condition the lashes, helping them to grow longer, thicker and healthier.  Use prior to gloLach Lengthening Mascara for a defined finish.

This stuff is amazing!

 I saw my mum the other day and wondered how her lashes were so thick and full and this Is what she had been using. 

It does exactly what it says on the tin which is thicken's, seperates and lifts lashes. It goes on white and then you apply your mascara over the top, it's abit like a primer. It's full of vitamins to keep your lashes healthy. There is no itchiness or flaking, making it comfortable to wear. When applied under mascara, your mascara not only goes on smoother but comes off with one wipe. Even when you take off your mascara lashes look fuller and thicker, you feel like you haven't washed off all of your makeup! I've noticed a difference in my mascara also. I usually get one eye that behaves itself and one eye that they all just clump together and that's that. With this they are all seperated and lifted. 

I personally hate false eyelashes so finding something like this is a great alternative. I can't be dealing with them falling off all the time and I don't like to see the join line.

The price is not bad at all at just £9.90 and £3.73 delivery from Amazon! Get yours here!

AMAZING MASCARAS TO TRY RIGHT NOW

3 AMAZING MASCARAS TO TRY RIGHT NOW.

so like any other beauty junkie i have about 10 open mascaras in my makeup bag at the moment. I have a little order that i stick to every day.

if you're anything like me, i hate the feel of false lashes on my eyes, im a contact lense wearer and they seem to dry my eyes out. aswell as making my lids seem weighed down on a night out they have to be hands down the most annoying things. so,  i've listed my top 3 mascaras to recreate that false lash effect without having to wear them. yippiee!

my all time  favourite  im pleased to say is from the seventeen range BY BOOTS. I get so excited when i buy a budget product that does the same as a branded one. priced at £6.49 its pretty affordable for all ages, especially if you have a voucher which boots are pretty good at.  it has special lash lifting properties with 24 hour curl and lift. the brush is  'anti clump' which really does work. it loads the brush with just enough to create your doll like lashes without getting blobs of mascara on a single lash. I like to use this first in my routine to achieve the lift and separation I can then build on. if you're planning on applying more than one coat, do not let your lashes completely dry as this can cause them to stay rigid and hard to manipulate.  MY ONE BAD POINT?  nope, im struggling.  5 stars*****

used it ? let me know what you thought.

my next favourite has to be Loreal's fALSE LASH telescopic mascara in magnetic black. this is abit more than your average mascara priced at £10.99 it's a bit of a gamble, but for me it was worth it, i've never looked back. It builds effortlessly, instantly lengthening your lashes. i recommend about 3-4 coats of this one to really get that 'wow' factor that false lashed give you.  if i had to pick one bad point about this mascara i would say the brush is slightly too long, the amount of times i have given my self a nice black dot on the inside of my nose! but then you can do that with any mascara. All in all a very good mascara 4 stars ****

so those two mascaras, from Boots, you can get on 3 for 2 which they have on alot of the time, youve got to look after those pennies! :)

 third on my list is Loreal volume million in ultra black.  This is my mums favourite. She says its like magic in a bottle. it's quite a clever mascara as the brush has many bristles to really fan out your lashes and get them super spread out. on the top of the bottle there is an 'excess wiper' to remove any excess mascara, leaving it coated with just the right amount of product on the  brush. priced at £10.99 it's again a bit dearer than your average, but still affordable, or hey.. use some boOts advantage card points. 

4 stars****

of course, lashes arent complete without a good curler and for me, it's no.7 's lift and curl lash curlers. they're  a steal at £8.00. perfect for a small birthday gift  or when you just fancy treating yourself  http://www.boots.com/en/No7-Lift-Curve-Eyelash-Curler_1273617/ good old boots. I have about 8 pairs of lash curlers including french connection and bobbi brown and these are by far my favourite.

top lash curling tips

1. curl when you have no makeup on, after moisturising.
2. hold for 30 seconds.
3. curl the base of your lashes, then the tips also.
4. replace pads when they get worn.
5. wash pads in between use to keep clean and mascara/bacteria free .

hope you've enjoyed my post, may you all have great lashes xxx
