Party, Party Take 2

I posted a blog post a few days ago(here) about the party I went to on Saturday night and explained that I would feature some of the professional photos, so that's exactly what I'm going to do, just as a fun post. 
 











What I wore:
Motel Rocks Coord in Lilac (Which looks white online)
Dorothy Perkins Black Wedges

Mascara Reviews

I never really use the same mascara over again unless I really love it. But I thought I'd share my opinion on a few mascaras that I have tried recently.

1. Bad Gal Lash by Benefit
This is one of the first high end mascaras I tried out, I remember getting it for my 13th birthday and falling in love. I've had about 8 of these and still love it, although I don't use it much anymore I always seem to have one lying around. I absolutely love it, and I'd recommend it to anyone.


 2. Le Volume De Chanel Mascara by Chanel
So this is probably the best mascara out there, but it is a bit over my price range at the moment when saving for a holiday. I actually got this as a free sample as Chanel were giving them out to try online and I was lucky enough to get my hands on it. I will repurchase this again when I come home from my holiday, or possibly at duty free as it is £25.


3. Scandaleyes Retro Glam by Rimmel
I also adore this mascara, and is the one I am using at the moment. It leaves your eyelashes maximised and look amazing. I was actually going to put on false eyelashes last night but after using this I didn't need to as my lashes looked as if I already had. So on the plus side it saves time, stress of putting them on and money for eyelashes. Bonus!!


When I was tidying out my make up I found another 2 mascaras that I've never actually used before, so I'm going to give them a try and possibly review them in a few weeks.













Have you used any of these mascaras? Which mascara would you recommend?

O.P.I 'Glitter' Nail Varnish Remover

I used to wear glitter nail varnish all the time, not as much anymore but still quite regularly. However, the biggest problem is getting it off. It is an absolute nightmare!!! Like wearing them would not be as bad if it was as simple to get off like normal nail varnish.
Then I came across what was named 'O.P.I Glitter Nail Varnish Remover' on ASOS and I thought my life was complete. I remember seeing it for £6 and thinking it was such a bargain, but now thinking about it £6 for nail varnish remover is kind of a joke. The actual name for it is O.P.I Expert Touch Nail Polish Remover for Glitter Nail Varnish. I have many O.P.I nail varnishes already, especially the Kardashian Kolor collection - being a big Kardashian fan - so thought it would be amazing.

After giving it a try I still do not know my final opinion on it. As when removing glitter nail varnish with this remover on cotton wool, it makes the cotton wool stick to your nail and then you can peel it off easily. However, I am unsure whether this is what it is meant to do or not. So if this is the purpose of it then I'd highly recommend it as it is a quicker method of getting glitter nail varnish off, as with other nail varnish removers I know I'm there forever trying to get it off.

I do only use this when taking off glitter nail varnish, as I use a cheaper alternative remover for normal varnishes.

Eyebrow defining

I'm no Cara Delevingne. But when it comes to eyebrows they have to always be on point. I mean awful eyebrows are just my worst nightmare. Personally, I have awkward eyebrows as there are gaps in them which means I need to pencil them in everyday anyway. However, finding the perfect eyebrow pencil seems to be a challenge and I have currently settled for one by Collection. I have also tried ones previously by Maybelline and Rimmel.

1. Maybelline Eye Brow Pencil
I've looked everywhere to see what this is exactly called and cannot find it anywhere and is no longer on Boots or Superdrug's website, so maybe it no longer exists. I have no idea. I'd say this one was my second favourite. This one is easy to apply (smooth not rough), is a light shade - useful as I have fair eyebrows - and has a brow brush on the other end. 
The down side to this one is it has to be sharpened, which I'm really not a fan of as most of the pencil ends up in the sharpener and it can never be perfected to how it comes when you originally buy it.

2. Rimmel Professional Eye Brow Pencil
This one was bought in an emergency, as I had not realised I ran out of my previous one. It was the only eyebrow pencil close to my eyebrow colour in the entire shop. I personally do not like it, as it is too rough when applying and my eyebrows look fake. I got it in the colour Hazel which was the lightest colour, but was still far too dark. 





3. Collection Eyebrow Definer Pencil
I've never ever used a Collection product ever, but when I saw that this one didn't even need sharpened I had to have it. It is by far the best one I've tried yet and I'd recommend it to anyone. AND it was only £2.79!! I'd so recommend this, absolutely amazing, 







What eyebrow pencil do you recommend?

H&M Body Spray

I visited London for the first time this January and fell in love with it, especially the shopping. It was also my first visit to Victoria Secret's and could have spent the entire day there.. however, we simply had no time.

I did come across the 'Coconut Passion Body Mist' which is absolutely delightful, and regret only buying 1 bottle.

So when visiting H&M on Tuesday, I came across a Vanilla Body Spray, which I thought I'd try out - as it was only £1.99 -  hoping it would be similar.  Unfortunately, it was not great at all, the smell was barely there. Whether it's just because I'm comparing it to another one or not but I generally think it has no proper scent to it.

There were however, different scents so I may go back and try another one as I don't have a better one to compare it with and see if that is much better.

It can be found here: http://www.hm.com/gb/product/25154?article=25154-A

and looks like this..
