Maybelline The Colossal Go Extreme Volum' Waterproof Mascara Review

The time had come for me to get a new mascara and I was in need of a waterproof mascara at the time for an event, and I ended up walking away with the Maybelline The Colossal Go Extreme Waterproof Mascara. I actually got this for £5 in Sainsbury's in May, but this usually retails at around £7.99.

I had a look on their website and it says: 'Our first double curved stem is designed to deposit an extra shot of volume onto the supersized brush.' They claim that your lashes will look 'supercharged' and will not be clumpy. The packaging is in the same shape as a lot of their mascara tubes and it is a matte yellow tube colour with a shiny teal accent colour and this is easily spotted in your makeup bag because it's nice and bright.
When I first took the wand out of the tube, my first instant reaction was 'oh'. The wand seemed to have very little product, it looked like the mascara had dried out and the bristles were out of shape and looked flattened. However, I put it back in the tube and took it out again a few times (not too much or quickly enough for air to get in there) just to see what would happen, and it worked!
The bristles looked a lot more 'alive' in a way, they had regained their shape and there was a nice amount of product in the bristles. I was a bit concerned about how easy this would be to apply because that wand is fairly big but it was so easy! It applied evenly and effortlessly and the bristles glided through my lashes adding lots of length, definition and volume. There was absolutely no clumping at all and I managed to apply around two to three coats for more intense looking lashes. It nicely separates the lashes and dries very quickly and it is definitely a waterproof formula.

I absolutely love this mascara and I can confidently say that this is the only mascara in my collection right now that I would repurchase. It does everything that I want a mascara to do for my lashes and it doesn't flake or smudge and it holds that curl very nicely. Removal is also really easy too.

How To: Apply False Nails

Image
Hey guys Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails. You need: False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc) Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 ( www.superdrug.co.uk ) Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick Nail scissors (curved work best) Emery board 1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic. 2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off. 3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove

MUA Cosmetics Review

Image
Hey everyone Last week for my birthday, I went shopping and while I was in Superdrug and I  picked up some things from MUA (Makeup Academy). There are some products here I haven't tried, one product I have but not this particular name. I actually fell in love with this brand when it was a very small company when everything was £1! Then the company expanded which made me very happy and so I tried   these products and I have mixed reviews. The first product I am reviewing is the BB Cream. This is £4 in the MUA online store ( www.muastore.co.uk ) or in Superdrug ( www.superdrug.com ). I wanted a BB Cream because I find foundation is too heavy and is bad for your skin and I started to go off tinted moisturizer. Anyway, for the price in general is OK for the product. I bought Shade Medium last week and I think this is a bit too dark for me even though the medium and light shade are very similar. The BB Cream is easy to blend. For me, this is going to be mixed with something light
