Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

Ah, mascara. Who doesn't love mascara? Choosing a good one is important if you are looking to pull a look together nicely, so today we're going to be looking at one by a rather popular makeup brand (understatement of the century) to help you choose the best for you.

MAC Upward Lash Mascara

The MAC Upward Lash Mascara is a product that claims to provide volume, length and curl. It is also designed to be smudge-proof, flake-proof, fragrance free and safe for contact wearers.

The brush is small, but don't be fooled. The centre of the brush is hollow which enables it to hold a lot of product within it to coat the lashes evenly.

It comes packaged in the style of MAC's ever famous lipstick range, so it looks like an amazing, giant-sized lipstick! Now if only MAC could get onto that as well...

Mascaras - there's tons of them. Ones to add volume, ones to curl, ones to lengthen... And let's admit it, a lot just don't work. Wouldn't it be great to have a magical mascara that did? Well, today's review is going to be all about a self-titled magic mascara.

Eyeko Black Magic Mascara

Eyeko's Black Magic Mascara is an award-winning, celebrity endorsed mascara that claims to add drama to the lashes as well as volumise, curl and lengthen them. The curved brush is designed to reach every lash and leave the final look clump free.

As well as all of that, the formula includes shea butter and keratin to condition the lashes, is paraben free, waterproof and promises to lock in colour for 12+ hours. Eyeko also claim that there will be no flaking or smudging, yet it can be easily removed with warm water.

It comes packaged a little differently to a lot of other mascaras. Instead of being in a long, plastic tube it comes packaged in a silver squeezy tube which will help to finish the product to the very end. The wand is still contained within a screw cap lid.

My version of the mascara was received in a previous Birchbox, but the full size item also comes with a cute Eyeko branded plectrum to use as a shield during application.

Do you love having lashes that have a certain va va voom? Me too! That's why I'm super stoked to finally have myself a little sample of Benefit's new They're Real! Tinted Primer to show you all today!

There are certain things that we all want our mascara to achieve; added volume and length with great longevity is usually the right ballpark to aim for. It just so happens that the mascara that I'm reviewing today claims to do just that and more - but does it actually tick all of those boxes?

So Susan is a brand that was started up by Susan Chyi in 2013. Originally the founder of the brand Jelly Pong Pong (who also collaborated with Nicola Roberts on her Dainty Doll range) before selling it on to travel the world, she now works hard to provide a range of cosmetics that will "enhance your life, bring joy to your every day makeup regiment as well as delight your senses".

The Featherlash Mascara by So Susan claims to provide volume, length and long-lasting wear in one stroke. It also contains Silk Amino Acids and Moringa Seed Extract to help to keep your lashes strong and silky smooth.

It has a thick wand with a conical tip to coat your lashes in thick, ultrablack pigments, whilst reaching the shortest ones all at the same time. It is also a water-resistant formula.

In addition to what it does, it is free of mineral oils, fragrance and phthalates and is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and suitable for contact lens wearers.

It comes packaged in a thick, shiny, black plastic tube with a screw cap that contains the wand. I received mine in a Birchbox from November 2015.

Birchbox is a monthly beauty box that includes 5-6 deluxe samples of beauty and lifestyle products that are tailored to you.

You get to discover new products and test them out in the comfort of your own home with no pressure to buy the full product if you don’t like it! However, if you do enjoy it, you can purchase the full sizes from the Birchbox store with the most recent month’s brands being available with free delivery (min. £10 spend)!

The theme of the March Birchbox is 'Do Try This At Home,' and Birchbox have therefore collaborated with homeware store Habitat. The in-box tips are based upon spring-cleaning your every day and inside there is also a 20% off voucher for Habitat.

Here is what arrived in my box this month:

Diorshow Iconic by Dior in black is a mascara that defines lashes, providing length, intensity, curl and volume in a snap. Including two Dior innovations, the 'Lift Model' complex contains unique coatings for long-term hold and the brush contains soft silicone bristles so each and every lash curls.





On Twitter I have seen a lot of questions regarding what mascaras people love the most. From this, I have decided to explain why Diorshow Iconic by Dior is my current mascara obsession!

Diorshow Iconic includes 10ml of product that is packaged in a classic silver tube that is then packaged in a very shiny, silver box. The brush is described as being 'oblique' with 'soft silicone bristles specifically designed to curl every lash.'.
