Younique 3D Fiber Mascara

 As many of you know this product has been about for some time now and if you’re an avid fan of social media you will have definitely seen women posting pictures of there before and after pictures to demonstrate how the Fiber Lash Mascara works.

I was very sceptical about trying this product as I never tend to follow the hype when it comes to products such as this. I have seen plenty of news surrounding Younique and “how amazing” there products are. These tend to be comments made by the representatives selling them, alongside my friend who approached me to try out the product, which has pleasantly surprised me.

I wear contact lenses so I was a little worried at first to if the fibers would fall into my eyes and cause irritation, however I can vouch that this wasn’t the case, and in fact once the fibers are sealed correctly you can guarantee that they will stay in place all day without causing any problems.

The best thing about this type of Mascara is that you can build up the Fibers to whatever consistency you like, so you could have long luscious lashes for the night-time and soft delicate lashes for the day time. This all depends on how many coats you wish to apply.Personally I love long lashes, the longer and thicker the better for me, some people don’t like the ‘spider’ look, which I totally appreciate as it can look too ‘fake’ when doing this, especially if you are not used to wearing a lot of makeup.

When you open the nicely packaged product you will notice it comes with 2 tubes, a transplanting gel, which you apply first, and then the second tube which is the fibers. The key to applying the fibers is to apply the transplanting gel, then the fibers and to set them in place another coat of the transplanting gel.

It’s a little more tricky than applying your usual mascara, and you may see it as an hassle to go back and forth between the 2 tubes, however once you get into the swing of things, you’ll pick up what kind of look you are going for.

My technique for application is as follows: (I do one eye at a time)

• Curl lashes for extra effect.
• Apply a coat of your original mascara first and let this dry.
• Apply the transplanting gel and immediately apply the fibers to let them attach themselves onto your lashes.
• Always apply another coat of the transplanting gel over the fibers to set them.
• If you want thicker longer lashes, repeat the process.

There is no denying that my lash looks completely different once the fibers have been applied, I would say this product is great for if you aren’t in a position to wear false lashes, or aren’t they great at applying them.

Bargain Buys...

Today I went shopping for some home things and I couldn't resist looking into a few beauty places a long the way, I thought I would share with you what Make-Up items I purchased today and for a very small price of just £10.00.

I am not usually into the cheaper Make-Up brands for items such as Eye Shadow as you can usually really tell if they are poor quality and I also find them harder to blend if the colour isn't as pigmented or not as easy to blend onto the skin.

I have seen GOSHcosmetics in Superdrug before but never really stopped to explore.

Today I bought two items as Superdrug were promoting any 2 products for £10.00.

I bought the new 9 SHADES Shadow Collection (which comes in 3 different variety's.) The one I bought is called 002 To Have Fun With in LA and has some beautiful pigmented greens, blues and purples, which are perfect for my eye colour. I have done a swatch below to show you just how pigmented these are.

It also comes with an handy compact mirror fitted inside, 

The second product I bought was the Forever Eye Shadow in shade 05 Grey.

These metallic eye shadow sticks are amazing, they glide onto your skin effortlessly and are also waterproof so should last easily all day! These come in all different colours but I just wanted to get one that I believe I would wear the most to trial out.

That's all for now my lovelies, please let me know if there are any Make-Up brands that surprised you with the quality, that made you want to buy!

See you soon,

My Skin Care Routine

Hello Beauty's, It's been a while so I thought I would post a new blog surrounding the products I use on my face before I apply Make-Up and also remove Make-Up from my face.

The products I use are all high street apart from one of the items I use to prevent blemishes/spots in the future which was prescribed to me from my GP, when my skin became really irritated and sore.

I will start this with product first, It's best to check with your Doctor first if this is something you can use as you might be allergic to some of the ingredients used to make the product.

Duac really did save my skin. I went through a really tough stage with my skin earlier on this year where everything I did seemed to aggravate it that little bit more. I just wish now I had a before and after picture to prove to you how well this product works, better than any anti-spot product I have ever used before. I must of used this a few days before I saw the results. To use I make sure my face is Make-Up free (which I will show the products I use below to make sure of this) other alternatives would be with warm water and a anti bacterial Soap, I would recommend Pears Transparent Soap this is perfect for gaining healthy and fresh skin.

As this product contains Peroxide, its best to tell you that when you first start using this product it can burn the skin a little, so I would combine this with a deep moisturiser to stop your skin from cracking. Its also meant to dye your clothing, however I have never found this and sleep with black bedding.

Since using this product without fail every day, I have not had any form of lump on my skin in the shape of a spot! FABULOUS! I have had a lot of remarks made to me on how my skin looks loads better since I started using this, so if you feel your skin is undergoing some bad treatment, the best advice I can give you is, don't waste your money on spot products on the high street as they really don't do what they're meant to! Take a trip to your Doctor's instead.

My second product which I absolutely love! is Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for the money this is really worth every penny! At the minute its on offer at £3.33 for 200 uses (if you use it how you are meant to use the 400ml bottle)! You really are getting your moneys worth, even if you pay £4.99 at its original price. Its amazing for removing all Make-Up even the waterproof mascara that some find hard to remove. I have tried a few different brands of Micellar Cleansing Water but this one is definitely my favourite. It does what it advertises, cleanses your skin and removes all Make-Up traces.

To exfoliate my face and refresh the pores I use a tiny bristled face brush that I purchased from The Body Shop alongside their Tea Tree Face Mask. I use this at least once a week just to give my skin a deep clean from all the Make-Up I use daily. Its a thick green cream which you apply till it drys onto the skin, then you can wash away with luke warm water.

and finally, my products which I purchased from Simple (which always have an offer on if you buy from your local chemist or supermarket) 

From left to right, Purifying Cleansing Lotion, Eye Make-Up Remover, Hydrating Light Moisturiser, Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser. 

I would use the Cleansing Lotion and Moisturiser together after washing my face and removing all Make-Up (which the Eye Make-Up remover can also be used alongside the Micellar water) 

The Pore Minimising product is brilliant to help close pores after you have been in a hot bath to help minimise the look of them.

I love the Simple range of products as they make sure it is good for sensitive skin, so all skin types can use their products without it been harsh on the skin.

and that's it!

So as you can see all products are easily available to the public and you're not breaking the Bank by doing so! When I was younger I didn't used to take the whole "cleanse, tone and moisturise" routine seriously but as I have now reached the dreaded age of late 20's! I make sure this method is applied ritually every day (where possible) to try and prevent bad skin for when I am older.

Thanks for reading, and I shall see you soon,
