Lash Lust


Ok so, anyone who is struggling to find the perfect mascara, look NO further. This baby is absolutely amazing and I never want to tube to run out. I discovered this mascara a few years ago in the duty free and have always loved it. But you know what it's like - when make up is so expensive when it runs out you sometimes just find a cheaper replacement. Having recently just returned from NYC and having spent many hours in Times Square Sephora I stocked up on my beloved mascara. 

Admittedly I have long eyelashes anyway, but this mascara just coats them so evenly and well, making them bounce up with extra volume. It also manages to separate them so that you don't get that clogged up, cakey look which some mascaras do unfortunately do! When taking the wand out, the brush doesn't look like it has a lot of product on so it's a lovely surprise after the first sweep and all of your lashes are nicely coated. This mascara is definitely build-able depending on the occasion. Day time looks are easily acheivable with one coat but if you are after a night time look with darker, thicker lashes, applying some extra coats on top does the trick. 

 The price for this beauty must is £25.50 and you can purchase from Debenhams, Selfridges, House of Fraser, John Lewis ... Or at the airport in the trusty duty free. So if you're off on your new year holidays treat yourself to the Giorgio Armani - Eyes to Kill mascara. 


The next product I want to give a mention is the Loreal Super Liner eyeliner. I have always used eyeliner, but normally in gel form but I am a bit forgetful when it comes to rushing out the door and remembering to screw the lid back on the gel pot .. So when I return it's just a crusty old mess! Whoops. For New Years Eve this year, a friend of mine is having a fancy dress party so I was YouTubing to get some eye make up inspo and came across this lovely lady's channel with this wonderful product!

I rushed out to buy it as it looked so easy to use and it really is so true to form. It's just a felt nip that is super defined so that you can get a real precise line and it is really wet and dark black which I have found hard to get using a pen eyeliner. There is no button to press to make it wet and no need to shake, just remember to keep the lid on and it stays lovely and moist. Also like I said up top about the mascara, it is very easy to build for transition looks, day to night. 

I hope you have fun with these products and that I have made you winged eyeliner girls life a hell of a lot easier with this! Let me know how you get on and also don't forget to check out Kashaul's YouTube channel for some great 'Get Ready With Me's' and make up tutorials.

Tweeze me, tweeze me, tweeze me, 'till I loose control


Being an avid eyebrow plucker, I have found the ultimate, can't live without, accessory that I have only known and used for 3 years!


I can't believe it has taken me so long to find, but boy am I glad I have. TWEEZERMAN tweezers everybody. 







I am now on my third pair of Tweezermans, not because they wear out after a while and stop being so great but simply because I have lost two pairs. I purchase all of mine from Boots purely because of my Boots card - points make prizes! However you can get them from most drugstores or online from Tweerman.com. They have many different types depending on which job you want to focus on. IE, cuticles, eyebrows, some have lights on to see those stragglers that are trying to hide. They also come in various colours with different patterns which just adds to the greatness - but to be honest I would still use them even if they looked horrendous. They retail at a price of (cheapest) £12.50, which admittedly is a bit pricey for a pair of tweezers but you really will get your moneys worth. 

The pince on these tweezers is so precise that they can get the smallest hairs in the most difficult places. I could probably end up plucking all my eyebrows off if that look was in right now!

As Christmas is just round the corner these are deifinitely worth a stocking filler. You truly won't forget it!


Let me know if you rush out to buy a pair and what you think.
