L'Oreal Rouge Caresse Lip Butter.


I love these lip butters! They are so moisturising. very similar to the Revlon Colourburst lip butters. But for some reason I prefer these L'oreal ones! I find them to be longer lasting and more moisturising. I've had this in the colour Cheeky Magenta for a few months now and have been loving it. I usually wear it on nights out.. its a lovely bright pink colour that is so pigmented and lasts ages. So i decided to get a couple more colours from the range because I was so impressed with it. I chose Lovely Rose and Nude Ingenue.

I chose these colours as they are more subtle so I thought they'd be perfect for everyday wear. I've worn the nude one everyday for work since I got it, it's perfect for everyday use and just gives a nice bit of colour to the lips without looking too overpowering. I really love the baby pink colour too, it's a gorgeous shade (again without looking too bright). As you can see from the swatches they are very pigmented despite being a lip butter, and like i mentioned above they are really moisturising too. These little lip butters are honestly great, I can't fault them. If you haven't tried them yet you should definitely get your hands on some! 

Just to summarise what I love about these:
  • Super moisturising.
  • Lovely range of colours.
  • Really pigmented colour that lasts ages.
  • Not too pricey.
  • Sleek gold packaging with helpful colour sample on bottom.

Mavala Double Lash




I bought this eyelash treatment from Boots last week for £11.00, however it's for sale here for £9.90. This product claims to 'lengthen, thicken and strengthen' lashes, and to be honest, I was a bit sceptical at first. I wasn't really sure it was worth it and wasn't expecting it to make any noticeable difference to my eyelashes. But i've always had short eyelashes and they've been bugging me recently so I decided to buy it as I've never tried anything like this before.

After using it every night (you apply it before bed and leave overnight) for over a week now, I can honestly say I can visibly notice a difference. I try to give my eyes a day off from mascara whenever I can, for example today I'm not wearing any eye makeup, but I really feel like the overall appearance of my lashes has improved. I'm so impressed with this so far and hopefully it will continue to work! I'm not expecting miracles and I know I'll never have super long lashes, but this product has definitely made an improvement. I'd recommend it for anyone with short lashes wanting to improve the condition of them!
