Max Factor False Lash Effect Fusion Mascara, £11.99
A super lengthening and volumising mascara, Max Factor have long been heralded for their excellent mascaras and this ‘best of both worlds’ twist on the classic False Lash Effect mascara is exactly that. The slightly longer hairs on the wand coat and separate each eyelash strand creating a plush flutter of fuller, longer lashes without any clumps or smudging. Just what we needed! Available at Superdrug
FOR LIPS:
Illamasqua Lipstick in Maneater, £15.50
A classic cherry-red, highly pigmented (matt finish) shade glides on deceptively easily, leaving a silky-smooth layer of bold colour that refuses to budge, while keeping lips feeling soft and comfortable throughout the day. You can feel the quality in this product, so yes, it might not be the cheapest, but it’s definitely worth the expense available at Illamasqua
A person essentially assist to make seriously articles I might state. This is the first time I frequented your web page and up to now? I amazed with the research you made to make this actual put up incredible. Fantastic task!
Simply amazing, I am in awe with this glossy look I have also seen the touche eclat pens when they were exclusive to Selfridges so I could not get my hands on them, glad I can get my shade from Debenhams. I am Asian and don’t find it easy to find the right powders & foundation this post was very useful. I love the style of your blog too keep it up!!
