2true Pro Mascara

A few weeks ago I picked up the mascaras from the 2true pro range to test and at £3 each you can't really go wrong. The whole range, which can be found at superdrug, is not only super cheap but also offers really high quality products. The nail varnishes are a particular favourite of mine so thought I would branch out and try a few more products from this drugstore brand.

I have to say for a drug store mascara and the price they really are amazing. My favourite is the wow! mascara in the non waterproof version (pink tube). Not only is the packaging gorgeous but this rivals my false eyelashes when I've put on a few coats. At first I wasn't too keen on the plastic wand, as I usually go for a fibre wand however I soon got over this feature due to the amazing volume and length the mascara gave. The second mascara I picked up was the the waterproof version of the wow!mascara (blue tube). I was quite surprised to find this had a completely different wand and I did find that this affected the way the mascara coated the eyelashes. It didn't give as much definition and length as the non waterproof version but it wasn't too far off. Finally the third mascara I tried was paparazzi (green tube) and I found that with the wand and also the formulation of the mascara this was by far the best for definition. This gave a really natural look, which was something I really liked for day time. Overall I found that the stand out mascara for me was the non waterproof wow! mascara. I can't describe to you the length, volume and definition this gave to my eyelashes and at £3 there is just no doubting that this will be my go to mascara. It really did give the wow factor for my eyelashes!

The mascaras can currently be picked up here from superdrug at the bargain price of £3.

Just as a quick side note I was watching watchdog last night on bbc and saw that the waterproof wow! mascara was tested against some of the most expensive high street mascaras for it waterproof qualities and came out on top! It was shown to be one of the best. Now for a £3 drugstore mascara what more can you ask for?!

Have you got a favourite drugstore mascara?

Lots of Love

Soap and Glory Butter Yourself Body Lotion

I have to tell you about this product as it has turned into one of my absolute favourite moisturising products ever. I'm also a massive fan of anything Soap and Glory. For Christmas I was lucky enough to be given a giant haul of Soap and Glory products in the form of their many gifts sets and in one of them was this gorgeous moisturiser. I normally wouldn't have picked this up in boots as I've always been a Righteous Butter fan. But I am so glad this was included in the set otherwise I may never have tried it. This moisturiser smells just as gorgeous as the other soap and glory products. It has a slightly citrusy smell and contains shea butter, orange water juice and mango oil amongst many other amazing ingredients. I have the pump version (you can also get this in a pot in the body butter version) and find it very handy. However the only annoyance is when the pump sometimes gets blocked. But this is something I can get over as the product is just so darn good.

My other love in life...

Is music. So I thought I might try mixing things up a little bit. Not every week, but most weeks I'm going to start posting tracks on here that are my most listened too and highly recommend. It might be fairly sporadic as will only be when I think a track is really worth sharing and I might just add it into my usual posts. What do you all think? I've being toying with the idea for a while and have decided to just go for it. I love listening to music of any genre and love sharing tracks with my friends so thought I would include you lot in that too. My taste in music is a bit all over the place. There isn't really a specific genre of music I love so each thing I post is going to be fairly random and will just be what I'm into at that moment in time. So a word of warning it might not be to everyone's taste! So here's my first track of the week.. So this is Changes by Faul & Wad Ad Vs Pnau. I heard this about 3 weeks ago and it screame

B. Pure Micellar Water

When I was in Superdrug a few weeks ago I saw this on my way to the check out and completely jumped at the chance to finally try out the craze that has swept the blogging world. This is my first product from the B. range at Superdrug and I'm already impressed. I didn't know what to expect from micellar water, having never tried one before, but I have found it pretty effective so far. I use this as my first cleanse to get rid of any initial make-up and impurities that are on my skin before I go onto wash my face with a liquid gel cleanser. I literally sweep this over my face with a cotton pad and its extremely effective at getting rid of most make up. It isn't amazing with waterproof mascara so I do end up using my bi- phase eye make-up remover to get rid of any remaining mascara, but on the days when I haven't gone for the water proof stuff it's perfect. To be honest though, apart from Boots No.7 Beautiful Skin Eye Make-up Remover I haven't yet found anythi
