Mascara Review | Soap and Glory Thick & Fast

I recently invested in a new foundation and felt the need for a new mascara to go with it. While I did consider buying a high end brand, I settled on the drug store purchase of Soap and Glory Thick & Fast for £10.50.



The box description reads "hello, dolly! for dramatic, doll-like lashes, apply the first sweep of thick & fast high-definition, collagen coat mascara with the v-groove side for volume, then roll the brush - from roots to tips - for length and curl."



"High definition collagen coat formula with super-defining 7-sided fan flare-180* brush"
"It coats! It combs! It curls!"
 "Plus special long-stretch polymers and nonflake all-day wear technology"



I think this mascara does give very good lash definition, however if too many coats are applied the lashes do tend to go spindly. It gives a great amount of volume but possibly too much for bottom lashes so I tend to use my other mascara for them. Very good packaging as Soap and Glory products always do!





I would recommend this product to anyone who wants eye lashes with a fanned out effect!



Fashion | The Midi Skirt

Recently I have been scouting the high street and charity shops for a midi skirt and while there are numerous online, I just can't seem to find one. However I did come across these 3 lovelies while on asos and I'm thinking about investing in one.

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps.

October Favourites

October Favourites 

Once again I seem to be late on posting my monthly favourites but I've been so busy with school and work!

First of all I have been loving my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation; it gives great coverage, it has an excellent consistency and has lasted me ages! 





My go to clothing item this month has to be my grey baggy jumper my sister bought from a charity shop last year. It's really warm and cosy and I wear it just with tights so it's an outfit within itself. I also have been loving my new purple check skirt from topshop, however I wish I'd bought it in a size 6 as opposed to an 8 because the waistline on it is generous. 




Footwear wise, at any opportunity I've had, I've been wearing these black heeled boots with gold embellishments  I purchased them from Primark and at £20 you can't go wrong. (However after a day of full out shopping in Cabot Circus, I was in need of a major foot massage!!!)






I also have been loving these triangle droplet earrings from Asos. My ears normally react with cheap metal but these were absolutely fine and I find they can be worn for any occasion.




Last month I was dying to find any spare time I could so I could finish the current book I was reading: Divergent by Veronica Roth. My boyfriend had leant it to me and he'd bigged it up quite a lot so it had high expectations and it most certainly lived up to them. It's an action novel (the same kind of theme as Hunger Games) with a slight romance throughout, definitely worth a read.




Somehow, I've managed to get music onto my terrible phone (an ancient blackberry) and the first album I downloaded had to be AM - Arctic Monkeys, every single song on there is great and it follows up their high reputation from previous albums.
