HD Brows Palette

I received this quite awhile ago in a glossy box, it has just sat in the back of a drawer since I don't usually fill in my brows. Recently I've tried to make an effort to fill in my brows, it really makes your whole face look so much better.

The palette I have is in the shade "Vamp". In the past I've used the darkest colour but I'm now aware that it is waaaay to dark for me, so now I use the second darkest ( bottom left). You don't need much on the brush  since the colour is really pigmented, I made the mistake of piling it on the first time I used it.

This is a nice little palette, not only for your brows. There are a couple of nice colours to use on your lids. I believe you can buy this from around £19. It wouldn't be my first choice, as it is quite pricey, but it would e one of my choices.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick

I, like everyone else, have fawned over the beauty that is YSL lipsticks. I had been dying to get my hands on this for awhile, however the price put me off, £23 for a lipstick is a bit hefty. So I went in search of a cheaper one. 

Of course, I went straight to eBay. The colour I wanted never seemed to be there ( 17 Red Muse), I did keep looking for it. Every so often having a little search in hope of seeing it. I eventually found it and won the auction. I paid a total of £12 including postage. For a lipstick some may say £12 is still quite a lot, but when you think about it, lipsticks are all around the price of £8-10, so its not that much more than a normal lipstick.

When it arrived I was so happy. The colour is beautiful. Red is my favourite colour of lipstick, the colour is a lovely red and is really long lasting.
It doesn't have a super shiny finish, which for me is brilliant since I'm not one for overly shiny lips. The lipstick has a really nice creamy, buttery finish.

I love this, if your not wanting a full colour then you can dab it on your lips and blend it out to a lovely pale red.

I would recommend that if you haven't tried these then you really have to go and slap one on. They are totally worth the price you pay, and even if you aren't up for the price tag that comes with it then do like I did and head over to eBay.

Instant touch rapid dry for nails

I am extremely impatient when it comes to doing my nails, all I ever want is for them to dry straight away.
So upon a wander round boots, I saw the "Elegant Touch Rapid dry spray", I picked it up since I figured what harm can it do to try it out.

When I got home I tried it out straight away. I really wasn't impressed with this, and quite frankly would rather have let them dry on there own. This claims to dry nail polish instantly, and dried glossy after 60 seconds.
All this did was make my nails feel greasy, I've only tried this once and I'm not really wanting to try it again.
This is only a small post, but if you have any rapid dry nail things please let me know :)

Maybelline | The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara

Maybelline mascaras are always talked of rather fondly, or at least I think they are. In the past I have found them OK, nothing special. But a few months ago they brought out "The Rocket" and I adore this! I don't usually switch from mascaras, but when I find one I like more I completely forget about the other ones I own. This was certainly the case with this mascara. I used to use YVES Rocher Sexy Pulp mascara, and I think I bought two or three tubes of it, safe to say I loved it, but after using the Rocket I put sexy pulp to the back of my drawer.

 The Rocket gives amazing volume to your lashes, doesn't clump and makes your lashes look super long. What more could you ask for in a mascara? Oh, I know what else you could want from a fantabulous mascara. It to be affordable! And of course it is, it is £7.99 full price, but you can often get it at a lower price at boots.

When I first saw the wand I was a little sceptical, the bristles looked small and not like they would catch your lashes. How wrong I was, they grab your lashes and don't let go till they look heavenly. The Rocket fell from heaven and landed in stores to save our lashes and out bank accounts. 

The Rocket is the most wonderful mascara, its everything I could ask for - and more.

Have you tried this yet? Or have you got a mascara that you simply couldn't live without?
