The Best Mascara EVER

"The best mascara ever" is probably a very big claim to make, but I stand with my vote to say that this is the best mascara I have ever used. 

Unless this is the first post from my blog that you have read, you won't be unfamiliar with this. It is the Maybelline The Rocket Volume Express Mascara. 

Maybelline The Rocket Volume Express Mascara, £7.99

As you'll know, I'm a big fan of Maybelline's volume express mascaras; I've been using them for years, and I've tried out nearly all of them. Despite being impressed I've never ended up repurchasing the same one. I decided to try this just as a change and I noticed in the shop that the wand looked very similar to that of the Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara which I loved but haven't used in years. As this was cheaper, I decided to give it a try. WOW.

My lashes naturally are very short (weeps), this gives them SO MUCH length and volume. It is also very long lasting too. As I right this, last night I naughtily forget to take my makeup off (slaps wrist), but when I woke up the next morning, 50%, or more even, of the product was still on my lashes. I still looked like I actually had eyelashes in comparison to no mascara. 

Would I recommend this to you? Of course. Is this something I will repurchase? DEFINITELY.

Eyeko Skinny Mini Liquid Liner First Impressions Review

I came across THIS Eyeko liquid liner as a free gift in this month's Marie Claire magazine. 

Eyeko was a brand that I heard of before but never really heard that much about, so I wasn't sure whether to have high hopes that it would be great, or to have no hopes for it at all.

My eye - excuse my unruly brows.

 The applicator is a felt tip pen style. Now I've tried these before and they have not been very pigmented when applied and they have dried out SO quickly (I'm talking days...). However this was very black when I applied it, always a bonus. I found it super easy to apply and it was really easy to get a good shape without lots of faffing around. 

 Staying power? It definitely lasted all day, however when I accidentally wiped past it, it smudged right off. Very disappointing. 

 I'm keeping this a short review/post, but in terms of application I score it high because of how easy it was to get the right shape, but in terms of staying power and non-smudginess - they do claim it is smudgeproof too - I score it quite low because it smudged off so easily and also washed off very easily (a pro and con in itself, to be honest).
