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.
