L'Oreal Paris Infallible Eyeshadow - Swatches ♥

Hey guys!
The other day I popped into poundland to pick up some kitchen roll and another spatular for the shop and while I was in there I noticed a woman walking around with one of these eyeshadows in her basket. Of course i rushed over to the makeup section that the poundland had and these babies were just sat there being ready to be put out. I grab them all.
These little gems retail for £6.99 each!!! I picked them up for £1!!!



From left to right the colours I picked up where "The Resist White", "Eternal Black", "Flashblack Silver", "Magnetic Coral" & "Sahara Treasure"
There eyeshadows are so creamy and so pigmented!
I used to see loads of youtubers talk about these but didn't wanna spend £6.99 each on them no matter how good they are.
For loose pigment eyeshadows there is hardly any fall out with them. The only one that seems to have a bit of fall out is the black which I find always happens with black loose shadows.
If I see more of these I will definitely be picking up more!
Have you guys tried these before?

Benefit - Roller Curl Mascara - Review ♥

Hey guys!
Today post is going to be on the Benefit - Roller lash mascara.
I have this post sitting in my draft folder for so long and had completely forgot to post it!
I got this sample in the 
March issue of ELLE.I had high expectations for this mascara as Benefit are well know for their 'They're Real Mascara' which I am a fan of and I knew this one had to live up to it if not be better for it to be worth the buy.Retail price - £19.50

I was pleasantly surprised that i liked it!
I love my lashes to have loads of volume and just a bit more length and this mascara is defiantly just a lengthening mascara. I feel like I have to add another mascara on top of it to add the volume desired on the days I am wanting big noticeable lashes.
This is an amazing every day mascara especially if you don't like to wear a lot of makeup. It is defiantly build-able but I found once you got to the 3rd/4th coat it started to clump and look like spider legs.


The outer packaging is so sleek and pretty.
On the benefit website it states that the mascara has an 'instant curve-setting formula that's holds for 12 hours'. However I do feel that the formulation of this mascara does help curl your lashes but for me it doesn't hold for the 12 hours it states. After about 3-4 hours of wear I could see my lashes start to droop and loose its curl.



As you can see from the pictures above of my lashes on the left side is my natural lash and on the right is the roller lash masacra. I applied 2 coats for this picture so you could see what it would look like layered.
Each of my lashes fanned out lovely.
I reach for this mascara when I am having one of my 'Natural' makeup days.
I do like it and would possibly repurchase it if it was on offer or came apart of a set that benefit do for christmas but i wouldn't go out tomorrow and repurchase it for the full price.
What do you guys think about this mascara?

Rimmel Apocalips Matte Lip Lacquer ♥

Hey guys!
I have been meaning to post this blog post for a while now but keep pushing it back for no known reason haha!
Today's post is going to be on the Rimmel Apocalips Matte Lip Lacquer!They retail for £6.49 at Boots and i have 3 of the 4 colours to show you today!
I know these have been out for some while now and I feel like everyone has already brought them or they have swatched them but I still wanted to make the post anyways to let you know my opinion on them!

The three colours I have from right to left are 
'Meteoric Matte' - 'Atomic Rose' - 'Burning Lava'

These beauties are wonderful!
They are soft, creamy and highly pigmented.
When I first brought these I literally wore nothing else on my lips for months.

Meteoric Matte is a pink/red/purple colour mix.

When applied several times the colour does deepen to the colour in the tube.


Atomic Rose is a little our of my comfort zone.
I never wear nudes and this to me is very very nude!
However i love the colour and have worn it on several occasions with a dark intense eye makeup.


Burning Lava is a lovely rich red colour.

I love wearing this with a brown neutral eye!

Like I said above I love these lip lacquers however they do not dry fully matte.
As you can see from the pictures they still have a slight shine to them in the center of the lips where the light naturally hits.
The fact that they do not dry fully matte to some people is a huge bonus because many don't like the super dry matte feeling on their lips which I do not mind.
I really want to pick up the other on which I haven't got which is 'ornahe-olog'.Have you guys tried these?
What do you think?
