Younique Mascara

A little while ago I was contacted by a lovely lady named Manel Salah asking if I would like to try out a product and review it on my blog, so of course I said yes! The product I am reviewing is the Younique mascara, I'm excited to tell you my thoughts on it.
*I was sent this product for free* I cannot thank her enough!
Please visit her site here: www.youniqueforyoubymanel.com

When my package arrived I was so excited I ripped open the packaging it was in! The product comes in a gorgeous case very similar to a glasses case. Inside it comes with two products which I will explain further down the blog post. A little photo was also attached inside showing the mascara on the lashes. The products are securely in the case.

There is actually two wands. One is a transplanting gel and the other is natural fibers. How it works is you apply a coat of the transplanting gel to your lashes, it's best to do one eye at a time. Then straight after with the natural fibers apply it just like a normal mascara, the small natural fibers will stick to the transplanting gel making it look like you have lots of long separated lashes.

I think this mascara is absolutely great. I guess the only downside to this is that you have to keep swapping from wand to wand depending on how many layers you want.

On my left eye I used my normal mascara which is the Collection No Clumps and on my right eye I used Younique. I wanted to compare length, so I did this! You can definately tell which mascara is which.

Overall, I really think this product is great. When I am wearing this mascara, it honestly looks like I am wearing false lashes, I thought I had already got naturally long lashes, until I used this beast of a product. I would totally recommended.

E.L.F Haul!

Hello!

If you didn't hear, E.L.F Cosmetics are basically shutting down in the UK, so on their website there was a up to 70% off all their products! When I heard about this, I couldn't help but check out their make up and buy a few bits, as it turned out to be pretty cheap!! I've never tried E.L.F products before this so I was excited. My package finally arrived and tbh it was pretty quick to say how many orders they must of got. I'm going to talk about what I got down below! :)

6 Luscious Liquid Lipsticks
2 Hypershine Lip Glosses
2 Single Eyeshadows
1 Lipstick

I'll start with the Lucious liquid lipsticks! I had heard a lot of good things about these products from people in the bbloggers community. Firstly I'm not the biggest fan on the packaging of these, if I'm honest I'm not keen on any of ELF's packaging on their products. I like the actual product though, the colours are all beautiful. I thought that I'd try a range of shades, they're highly pigmented and glossy. My favourite shades are 'Perfect Pink' and 'Ruby Slipper'. They look lovely on the lips and aren't too sticky like some liquid lipsticks can be, for the money of them, I'm really happy with them. I have inserted photos below of swatches of the colours!

I also got 2 of the Hypershine Lipglosses in the shades 'Flirt' and 'Bubblegum' they're pretty similiar, they're both sort of coral colours which I'm really digging atm. If I'm honest there isnt much different in these and the liquid lipsticks, they give the same sheer finish. I like how they look on the lips, and they aren't very sticky which is great because is there anything worse than a sticky lipgloss?! I would say these a less pigmented than the liquid lipsticks.

I also bought 2 single eyeshadows, when I checked out the eyeshadows there wasn't many left but I thought I'd be daring and choose some colours that I wouldn't normally wear! I got a brown ish shade but it has a tinge of burgundy in it? It's kind of hard to explain if you can't see it in person sorry. These sorts of colours always make me eyes look weird. I also got a purple which didn't look bright on the website but when it came it was much brighter than I thought it was, again, this is out of my comfort zone but I'm excited to use them. They're much more pigmented in the pan, it took me a few swatches on my arm to build up the colour.

The last thing I got was just one lipstick, again there was barely any shades left but I wanted to try one anyway. I got a sort of muted red colour, on the swatch it doesn't look as nice as it does on my lips, it feels nice and soft on my lips, not drying. The thing I really dislike about this prodcut is the packing, it's just so awful, not just the look of it, but it's so stiff to twist up the lipstick. This is the only thing putting me off them, but the actual lipstick its self I really like.

That's all I got in my E.L.F haul, thank you for reading. Do you own any E.L.F products?
