Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara.

Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara - £8.99

Push-up brush for upper lashes

Sculpting mini-brush for lower lashes

I bought this Maybelline Big Eyes mascara a couple of weeks ago and I've been wearing it everyday since. I am obsessed! The mascara is double-ended, consisting of a push-up brush for your top lashes and a sculpting mini-brush for your lower lashes.

The thing I love the most is the sculpting mini-brush. I feel that not enough brands have mascaras with a brush designed for lower lashes and I don't know why. When I use normal mascara brushes to do my lower lashes, the brush is so big I get mascara under my eyes (is that just me? lol). It's so much easier now and the brush saves me from ruining the foundation I just put on.

I did find that the mascara did clump a little, so it helps to scrape the brush on the sides before applying it. You can then apply more layers and build it up if you need to.

But overall, I love this!

MAC Lipstick: Jubilee.

MAC lipstick in Jubilee - RRP £15.00

This is actually my first ever MAC lipstick! Debenhams had a new season sale that included 10% off beauty and fragrance, which I obviously took advantage of. To get the most wear out of the lipstick, I wanted a colour that isn't anything too bold so that it could go with my everyday make-up. I've heard a lot of good things about the colour Jubilee and I can see why. It's a browny nude with hints of peach and pink and it's just so easy to wear. As it is a lustre finish, it's really sheer and looks quite glossy. I also feel that you can wear this for a night out or special occasion with dark eye make-up as the lipstick looks sophisticated but sexy at the same time.

MAC do so many lipstick shades and I can see myself getting addicted. Ahh!

Models Own HyperGel: Naked Glow.

Models Own HyperGel in Naked Glow - £5.00

I love nude nails and this Models Own HyperGel in Naked Glow is such a nice, beige colour. As it says, the polish has a gel effect and the formulation is quite thick when you apply it. Although it says you only need one coat, I found that I needed at least two to make the colour more intense, but I guess it depends on how much polish you have on the brush when you apply it.

The polish is really shiny though and I found that I didn't need to apply a topcoat; however, I think a topcoat would help preserve the shine and lasting power as I had it on for two days and noticed the shine had somewhat faded and there were small chips on the third day.

I also have the colour Coral Glaze, which is a really pretty, as you can guess, coral pink colour which would be perfect for Spring!

Has anyone else tried these? What do you think?

Mini drugstore beauty haul.

Whilst shopping at the weekend, I popped into Boots and Superdrug where they had various 3 for 2 offers on beauty and make-up; obviously I couldn't resist buying a few things!
