Bourjois 1 Seconde Volume

Mascara, Mascara what can I say? I love it but at the moment  I hate it, quite recently I haven't been able to find a staple one I like, I don't know why but this year all the mascaras I've owned have in someway or another been disappointing. 



I sort of bought this mascara in a mad 'Argh I don't know what to get for my 3rd item in a 2 for 3 offer', I looked at brush and it freaked me out and reminded me of a No 7 one I had a few years back which was just awful. Then I went back to numerous different brands and products and then grabbed Bourjois' newest product; 1 Seconde Volume. The packing drew me in, I was like a magpie, all thoughts of massive scary wands flew from my mind and I just saw the silver and orange packaging dance in my eyes. I then paided for my goods and on the way home I had realised what I had done.




So I thought ok it was just that one time I had a massive mascara wand, which didn't work out, Ill give this one ago, well I actually really like the brush, it gives a good amount of product on to the lashes and I can get away with one coat. which is amaze. The brush is a mix of spherical bristles and straight ones, so two different textures in one brush, I'm assuming the ball like bristles apply the product and the straight bristles help to spread and de- clump the product. (I may be wrong but thats the kind of jist I get).





With the actual mascara flaking is quite minimal, which is great as this has been my struggle with many mascaras this year and they have all been new ones as well so its not the old formula. My only niggle is that after about 6 or 7 hours of wearing it, it gets a little bit itchy, I have to give my lash line a rub which is a little annoying.



This mascara looking amazing when your eyelashes are curled, if I don't do this, the product doesn't benefit me that much, but my lashes stay curled all day look when I have used a curler.

Overall I think the mascara wand is great, but I'm not to sure on the actual mascara, the formula just irritates me slightly. Im not sure I will buy this product again, but I will be keeping the brush and using it with different mascaras.


Have you tried Bourjois 1 Seconde Volume if so what did you think?

    Thanks for the review! Looks like I will be skipping out on this mascara, I don't typically curl my eyelashes, so I won't benefit much from this mascara!

    Yeah I didn't curl my lashes for some reason and I just remember looking in the mirror and thinking it doesn't look like I have that much on if any. xx

    What a shame about the formula. A lot of people have said it reminds them on benefit they're real but I think the collection 'does it all' is a better dupe :)

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I

Hi Everyone I thought Id do a Make up of the day, and show you some of the products I use on a regular and not so regular basis. I'm also going to rate the products out of 10. Close up of eyes and contouring So these are majority of products used (bar brushes and one of my broken blushers) sorry for rubbish photo iPhones ay?  These 3 are my go to products for eyes. Products - Skin Based Illamasqua Hydravei l (black pot image below) Its in lots of my posts and it just helps hydrate and set the skin up for makeup. I love it, and I do get compliments when I wear it so it must be good. 10/10 Maybelline Baby Skin - Instant pore eraser? hmm I didn't hold out much hope for this product as I didn't really like the Baby Lips Maybelline bought out a while back. I actually think this product is pretty good and you get quite a bit for the money you pay. I think it does help smooth skin ready for foundation. 6/10 Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - its

M&S Autograph Gel Eyeliner

As I'm sure you're all aware gel eyeliner has been sat on all the aisles of drug stores for a few years now, some people love it, while others just don't get along with it. I personally love it... sometimes, I have a habit of not putting the lid back on the bloody things, which leads to them drying out and being completely useless and I've tried the youtube tricks to get my gel liners back to their original gel state and it just doesn't turn out the same as before. I've tried Revlon (meh) and Maybelline (okay), and faced up to the fact that I'm not at all responsible for a higher end gel liner like Mac or Bobbi Brown as I'd just forget to put the lid back on thus ruining them forever! However on one occasion I got bored of my mum looking at the home wear section in M&S and took myself off to their make up stand, and what did I come across? Autographs Ultimate Wear Gel eyeliner. I thought I'm in need of a new Eyeliner why not try this?!
