Review:W7 Oh So waterproof mascara

Hi,

Today I am going to be reviewing the W7 Oh So waterproof  mascara which I gave my first impression of in this post a few weeks ago: http://make-up-by-maria.blogspot.com/2011/11/first-impression-w7-oh-so-waterproof.html

Well I have been wearing now for the past few weeks and LOVE it.  It doesn't give you a lot of volume but does give you length- and is easy to work with and remove.  But it doesn't fall either and it is easy to build up as well!

Overall I love this mascara and will continue to wear it!

Review: Asda lash xtend waterproof mascara

Hi,
Today I am going to be reviewing the Lash Xtend mascara which is available from Asda in the UK and costs around £2-£4 depending if there is an offer on-which there often is on the Asda make-up products.
I was really disappointed in this mascara, as it has the formula that I like in most mascaras- Black-Waterproof and Plastic bristle brush.
But the reason I hated this mascara was the brush- due to it being so big- which meant that it was difficult not to get it on your lids and resulted in having to work with it a  lot to make sure that the lashes didn't clump- and i don't feel that it added a lot of length to my lashes either!

Review: MUA Bronzer

Hi,
Today I will be review the MUA Bronzer in shade 3, which costs £1 and is available from Superdrug and www.muastore.co.uk.

 I don't normally wear a bronzer- as I didn't want to look to sun kissed!, but recently I tried this MUA one for a conture, me cheek bones. This bronzer is perfect as it has hardly any shimmer and isn't to muddy either!

I also like the fact that the packaging is clear as it makes it easy to find what product your looking for quickly.

Review:Barry M Bold Black Waterproof eyeliner

Hi,
Today I am going to be reviewing the Barry M Bold Black Waterproof eyeliner, which is available from both Boots and Superdrug in the UK and costs £3.99.
I both love and hate this liner, I love it because it goes on so smooth and has a creamy texture.  It is easy to vary the thickness of your line, and also the price- but due to my hooded eye shape and oily lids this liner as like so many others it transfers onto my upper eye lid without fail!

Overall I believe that this would be a great product if you don't have hooded eyes or products don't seem to budge on you!

Review: MUA Blusher-Shade 1

Hi,
Today I am going to be reviewing the MUA Blushers in Shade 1, which is a bright Pink, and is available from Superdrug stores and www.muastore.co.uk, and costs £1

I really like this blush as it is very build-able, as you can do a very light sweep to give your cheeks a lovely healthy glow or build it up for a brighter pink coverage.  Also at just £1 is it great value and you can afford to experiment with different colours as well!

First Impression: W7 Oh So Waterproof Mascara

Hi
This is My First Impression of the  W7 Oh So Waterproof Mascara.  I paid £1.99 for this Mascara which is available from TJ Hughes.  Which is available from amazon for £1.18+shipping
http://www.amazon.co.uk/W7-Oh-So-Waterproof-Mascara/dp/B002TXYAU2
This mascara is a plastic bristle brush with very short bristles meaning that you can get right to the base of the lash line!

This is my lashes after one coat!
As you can see it left my lashes very long- and didn't clump!
Within the next few weeks I will do a more in depth review, to see if it falls on my under eye area- and how easy it is to build
-on my first impression I am liking this mascara!
