Essie Bazooka


Bazooka is an orange toned red. This is such a nice and bright colour which looks amazing with a nice tan. The formula is the same as most Essie nail vanishes, very pigmented and you need three coats to receive a opaque colour. 


Without a top coat I'd give it two/three days before it starts chipping away. However with a top coat the vanish lasts up until a week before you need to repaint. Overall I love this nail vanish and I think it is perfect for the summertime sunshine. What do you think of Bazooka?

Pretty in pastels


Spring and pastels go hand in hand, so it makes sense to create a pretty pastels look. I used a light green in the inner corner of the eye and used a darker green through the crease. I then used a MUA Lilac eyeliner on the lower waterline. A quick bit of mascara and your good to go. Quick and simple!

Midnight Blue


I absolutely love this look! The colours are just amazing. I used my Sleek - The Original Palette to create this look. I took the darkest blue to cover the whole eye then added in some black at the outer corners of my eye. I then blended the black into a winged effect. I then took some of the blue quite heavily underneath the eye, I'd strongly suggest doing your eye make up first before doing your skin as you do get a lot of fall down. Added a winged eyeliner above the top lash line with a liquid liner and lined my waterline with a black waterproof pencil eyeliner. I then used the lighter blue from the palette to just lighten the inner corners of my eye. Lastly I added some mascara.

Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express



Maybelline Mascaras are a strong stable within my make up bag with the  famous falsies right up the top, after that finished I debated buying another tube but quickly talked myself into venturing out with another mascara... enter The Rocket Volum' Express. 

The mascara claims to produce no clumping whilst creating fuller, thicker looking lashes up to 8x their normal length. Although I noticed a difference in the length of my lashes I wouldn't have said they was 8x their normal length. 

The wand itself is made of plastic and quite big in size. It  gives your lashes a nice even coat, although the large wand does make tend to make a few mistakes especially on your lower lashes, as it is quite tricky to apply with precision. The formula is pretty much like all Maybelline Mascara's, very pigmented in colour and doesn't dry or flake throughout the day. 

Overall my lashes do look longer and fuller. I would highly recommend this mascara and I picked mine up at Superdrugs for £5.99 which is a steal for a mascara this good! What are your thoughts on this mascara?
