Review: P.S. I love... Volumising Mascara

Okay, so it's been more than a while.... but my lifestyle at uni means I don't really get a chance to blog and revision season is upon us. Despite this, I couldn't not share this new find. That's right for just one measly pound at Primark you can pick up this Volumising mascara and let me tell you, you won't regret it.

So the formula is a tad clumpy/on the drier side but if this is applied carefully and so that it doesn't end up all around your face, well you can see the difference for yourself. The brush has bristles which I find grab and pull your lashes more than plastic wands, meaning a better coating and I particularly like the effect it has on my lower lashes. It doesn't last a lifetime when its on and will crumble a bit if you rub your eyes too much so don't do that, but for £1 I think it does what it says, volumise!! And lengthens nicely too!

Crazy selfie time...

Other make up I'm wearing:

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

ME contour colour from their Beauty Diary kit (post on this brand to follow)

Rimmel Blush in 010 Santa Rose

and Rimmel Apocalips in 102 Nova- not worn this in ages!

Do like the Primark beauty range?

Thank you for your kind eyes on my blog, see you again soon!

thank god for make up!

Just thought I'd do a quick post, not just to show you how terrible my skin is at the minute - don't know what it is about being at home that makes it flare up, but it was never this bad at uni!! but also to show you my daily make up routine and how I manage to get my face looking half decent! Think of it as sort of a "get ready with me". I posted this on Instagram earlier too if you saw that!

Basically, to transform myself, I added some curls to my hair using just my normal straighteners that I feel may blow up at any minute, they're that old! I then used my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer on my blemishes, Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation (this is so good, mini review in my October Favourites), Clinique High Impact Mascara (review here), NYC blush in Riverside Rose and today I tried out the Soap and Glory Marvelips which I really like the colour of and, as the first lip crayon I've used, it's really nice and so easy!

Finally, I donned my wooly hat from Primark men's section and was then ready to meet my friend Jade at the pub for drinks and a well needed catch up!

Hope you're all feeling festive by now!
