Tiny Haul

Hi Everyone!

As is always the way I nipped into town, not intending to pick anything up, but with 3 for 2 on at Boots I decided to pick up some things that had been on my wish wishlist.

The first thing I picked up was the LOREAL Miss Manga, Mega Volume Mascara in Black. This is a fairly new release on the high street, but ever since it came out I've heard nothing but good things about it. First impressions are good, I've been using this mascara for about a week now and I love it! I've been reaching for it everyday; it gives long, voluminous lashes that are truly manga style. I wouldn't recommend this for those of you who prefer a natural mascara as the volume does tend to make the lashes slightly clumpy, but I really like the effect this gives.

Next I got the Maybelline Lasting Drama Black Shock Gel Liner. This is the first liner I've seen of this kind, its a gel liner that comes with a pen-style silicone applicator. I really like the concept of this liner, I makes applying gel liner much more quicker and fuss free, as theres no need to be a wizard with a tricky liner brush. The lasting power of this liner seems promising (although I've not actually tried to wear it for 24 hours), although i do find that it sometimes transfers into my crease if I'm not wearing shadows. I've heard that Benefit are due to release a liner very similar to this one and I'd recommend to give this one a try first as I dare say it will be a fraction of the price!

Finally for my 3rd 'free' product, i decided to pick up a well known beauty favourite by many beauty bloggers and bloggers. The Maybelline Instant Anti-Age, The Eraser Eye Concealer, and I'm joining on the hype. Despite me having reservations about the applicator (due to hygiene reasons), I've been totally won over.  This product provides the perfect coverage to leave your eyes looking brighter and younger; dark circles no more. I'd say apply with caution though as applying too much can look cakey.

Thanks for reading guys! I'm trying to make a conscious effort to make my posts as high quality as possible so bear with me as posting days may be a little random for a while! In the mean time, I'd love it if you could follow me on Bloglovin (link in the sidebar!).
