No7 Extreme Length Mascara Review

Whilst searching through my 'make up 
draw' a couple of weeks ago, I came across a few things I had forgotten I owned, this mascara being one of them. 

I'm not sure where I got it from but I'm pretty sure it's an old one that's not even sold anymore!

This is actually a mini, travel size version of the mascara. The brush is really small, I'm not sure if that's just because it's a travel size one or if it's like that on the full sized version but it is absolutely fantastic. I use this mascara for my bottom lashes and I find the brush is brilliant. 

The mascara isn't clumpy, it's easy to apply and it doesn't spread all round your face when you blink! It dries really quickly so you don't have to stand there with your eyes wide open for 20 minutes either!

It's just absolutey amazing and I will be looking for the full sized version so I can buy it. 

The High Street Holy Grail

As I've said before, it is really nice to have an alternative to high end makeup products. At 13, I don't work. My monthly income is dependent of my parents and I get a lot more than most people my age do, but not enough to always afford nice high end makeup.

After using Nars Sheer Glow for so long, me and my skin were so used to it. I was desperate to repurchase it but just couldn't afford it. I decided to buy a cheap foundation to keep me going until payday. 

After hearing so much about Rimmel's Wake Me Up, I bought it. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who hasn't actually tried it until recently!

This foundation is occasionally used by people like Tanya Burr and Zoella and I can see why. I think it's a great foundation, it's got amazing coverage and the packaging looks so nice. 

It gives an amazing glow and an anti-fatigue effect. It makes my skin look so healthy and shiny. It also blends really well and looks really natural. 

If you read my Collection Lasting Perfection concealer review, you'll know that I have awful undereye circles. I've never actually found a foundation that covers them as well as this one. With a bit of concealer on top, they're completely gone! 

I've decided that this one is going to be my everyday foundation for now. I can see why everybody loves it so much! 

At just £8.99, to me it's worth around £20.

MUA Lipsticks

As much as I love my Mac and high end lipsticks, I think it's nice to have a cheaper option as well. My sister told me about MUA and said the whole brand really cheap but really worth the money. 

After buying more foundation on the Superdrug website last week, I saw I needed to spend £3 more to qualify for free delivery. I thought I might as well spend £3 on makeup than £4 on delivery.  I looked on the MUA section and looked through the products and decided I have enough bronzers, blushers etc and don't need anymore as I won't use them. I clicked on lipsticks and picked out 3 colours I liked. 

These lipsticks are good for the price but I was a bit disappointed. My expectations were so high as I'm used to high end lipsticks. You have to put quite a lot on for the colour to show and it comes off very quickly. 

I really do like the packaging, I also think it's really cute how at the end, they have a screw-on screw-off lip balm in the same colour. 

My mum has always told me that you get what you pay. At just £1 each, they are pretty decent. They can be a nice alternative if like me, you can't always afford high end stuff.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

It's no secret that this concealer isn't unknown to the 'online beauty world'. It seems as if every beauty guru has loved it at some point or another. I decided that it was time for a concealer change, before I was using the Barry M Correction Pen and I realised that it just wasn't enough coverage anymore. After searching around for a bit, I decided to try the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. The only other Collection product I've owned is the Collection Lasting Perfection powder and to be honest, I wasn't the slightest bit impressed with it.

I've inherited very dark under eye circles (thanks Dad!) and they make me feel really insecure sometimes. This concealer definitely has a lot more coverage and covers them up better, but it's still not good enough. I do have to use another concealer underneath to make sure it's fully covered.

Although this concealer is no good for under eye circles, it's great for spots and blemishes. I do have quite a lot of spots, 13 is an awkward age for spots and hormones, and it works miracles on them.

This concealer does claim to last for 16 hours but I find it rubs off within about 3, which was very disappointing. Even with a ton of Stay Matte powder over the top, it just tends to rub off. I would actually be very impressed if a concealer did last 16 hours.

The packaging is very basic and can also be opinionated as looking quite cheap. I found the writing rubs off really easily and quickly. The wand brush applicator style is also really unhygienic and can spread bacteria around your face, however, it is very easy to apply and blend.

This concealer is just £4.19, which I think is great for a concealer and I would really recommend it for covering up spots and blemishes. You could probably even use it for light under eye circles.

You can buy this concealer here and it is currently on sale in superdrug for £3.99.
