November Favourites

Hi Beauts.

Time to check out what I've been loving this past month:

I apologise BIG time for the quality of this photo. The lighting has been pants so I had to edit the brightness, sorry! :(

Emily 224 brush - I bought this a few months ago and actualyl made a post on my favourite blending blushes (here) Someome said this was a great dupe for the MAC 224 so I picked one up straight away (This is from eBay) It's amazing at blending out eyeshadow and even adding colour to the crease

Sleek blush in Antiqued - I've been absolutely loving this shade this month. I reviewed this a little while back and haven't stopped using it. The thing I love about this, other than I don't have another shade like it, is that on those days you don't want to contour this is the product to use. It's the kind of shade that's in between a blush and a contour colour. And we all know how much I love sleek blushes right?!

Revlon lash potion - This has fast become my favourite mascara. I know I've said that a few times now about mascara's, but OMG this is amazing. I have a full review here if you want a more in depth rave, but in a nutshell this lengthens, separates and gives masses of volume. The only negative is its waterproof so it's difficult to remove

Cherry Chapstick - I kissed a girl and I liked it......I didn't really, but I do like this. This has been out for YEARS and I've been meaning to buy myself one for the longest time. I can't really say too much other than its a great lip product for the cold weather, and it smells amazing!! 

Miners eyeshadow trio in 'Safari' - This has made it to my favourites once again. I've used this pretty much all month, and it's been my go-to look on those mornings when I've been running late.  It's a great little trio (Full review here) and it makes orange a fun and easy colour to wear

Collection work the colour eyeshadow pencil in 'Vanilla sky' - This is such a pretty and easy product to use. I have a full review here if you'd like a read. This is amazing for an eyeshadow base, a full lid colour and a highlight. It doesn't crease whatsoever and lasts on the eyes all day long. What more would you want from a pencil eyeshadow?!

What have you been loving this month?

Revlon lash potion review

Hi Beauts.

Does anyone else hate throwing away mascara? I do. Even when it's time to chuck it I just don't want to part with it. But I also enjoy buying new mascara, slight contradiction there Stacey! Anywhoo, one mascara that I couldn't wait to try was the Revlon lash potion.

 If I'm honest it was the packaging that sucked me in, I'm like a magpie with pretty things. I hadn't read or watched any reviews but I knew that I had to have it. So I got me some whilst in NYC. 

Whenever I buy a new mascara I very rarely like it straight away because 9 times out of 10 it's too wet, so I leave it for a week or so to dry slightly. However this one wasn't like that at all. On first application I knew I'd found a mascara that I'd mourn even more than the others when I'd  finished it. The actual product wasn't too wet or dry it was just in between - perfect consistency. 

The wand is a pretty standard wand unlike all of the fancy ones that are hitting the shelves promising to work wonders with your lashes. And on that note, this does work wonders. 

Even with just one coat my lashes looked so long, full and separated which I loved. After two coats they looked even better!

 This definitely gives volume, length and separation which so many mascaras claim to do but don't. There's only one thing I'm not overly keen on and that's removal. It is a BIATCH to take off. I mean it's good that it's so stubborn because nobody wants a streaky face right? But nobody wants to have to scrub at their eyeballs to remove it either. However even though it's tough to remove, I can totally overlook that little problem because it's such an amazing product, and defintly one I'll be buying time and time again!

This retails for £9.99 in Boots and Superdrug.

Have you tried this yet? What are your thoughts?
