Rimmel London Wonder'Full Extreme Black Mascara

This product intrigued me because it contains Argan Oil and I liked the idea of a mascara conditioning and enhancing my lashes all in one.

This mascara aims to give full volume, without clumps. The Argan Oil, should make the formula feel lightweight and soft and yet give the lashes volume. It has an ultra flex brush, which should hug the lashes, defining them from root to tip. The formula also contains extreme black pigments, for a more intense black.

I've been using the product for over a month now. I like the brush, it's a good size and I feel it helps spread the product evenly on the lashes and helps to give volume. However, I did find that I did get clumps with it. Not as much as other mascaras I have tried though.

I love the lightweight formula. It makes your lashes feel more natural. I find that it dries quickly too and I really like the colour. Not too heavy for me. (Before and After photos below).

I find the product doesn't last the entire day on (it does begin to flake off towards the end of the day), but it does make it easy to remove the remains at night!

I really like this mascara. The colour is good, it helps to add volume and it feels so lightweight on (the best part). It's not completely clump free and perhaps not as dark as thought it would be. I think I was expecting to be a little more wowed by it (just because of the name), but it isn't bad for the price and I probably would by this again just for an every day mascara.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

This new mascara from Benefit launched a few weeks ago and ELLE magazine were giving away free samples of the product with their magazine. I love getting samples of mascaras because I sometimes find that they are better than the full size product, in terms of quality. And also they are super handy for travelling!

The roller lash mascara is described as a roller for your lashes. The brush is designed so that it grabs, separates, lifts and curls lashes, giving an instant curl lasting up to 12 hours.

When I first used it, I thought wow, this is brilliant. It instantly lifted my lashes without the use of an eyelash curler and made them look even longer. And I do find that it lasts all day! However, the formula is a little heavy and does clump my lashes, so I have to careful with how I use it. I do quite like the heavy look, especially for a night out but it is perhaps too heavy for in the day at work. I like the way it opens the eye up and makes a visible difference.

The unique concept of the mascara and the super cute design of the product, is something which I really like and I do think it is worth it's price tag of £19.50. I will probably buy the full size product, just because of the effectiveness of the mascara, but the thickness of the formula does put me off a little.

Have you tried the Benefit roller lash mascara yet? What did you think of it?

Christmas Beauty Wish List

I always struggle with buying presents of any sort, which is probably because I am awful at making decisions. I've been reading Christmas wish lists on other blogs and I find them really useful, so thought it is only right that I make my own.

Le Volume De Chanel

This is one of my favourite mascaras that I discovered last year. I'm yet to buy a full version of this, but I definitely want too. I just found that it really helped to separate my lashes and the colour is great. Lack of photos with this post, as they have disappeared, but couldn't resist posting it up. 

(Boots £24.00)

I was lucky enough to get sent a free sample of this mascara from Chanel. I would usually spend up to £10 on a mascara but I am actually considering saving up my pennies to buy this.

This mascara should give instant volume and intense curves from the first stroke. It will also make lashes longer, plumper and thicker.

Benefit Bad Gal Mascara

This post was written a couple of years ago now, but I still love this mascara and is a definite repurchase. 

When I saw Glamour Magazine was giving away free Benefit make-up, I couldn't resist buying it! And for only £2 for the magazine, I thought that it was a real bargain, especially as Benefit make-up is usually quite expensive. After much deliberation, I chose Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara (I have wanted to try a new mascara for ages too!). 

I think it is quite nice to have a sample sized item, as it means it's not a total waste if you don't like it.
