Mirenesse Secret Weapon 24Hr Super Long Mascara

I'm pretty I sure I received the Mirenesse Super Long Mascara as part of a VIP pack when I was a member. Being a fan of the formula, I was happy to try a Mirenesse mascara with a different brush. Would it work, or just be hype?

 Taken from Mirenesse- "The holy grail of mascara formulas! No more panda eyes! A true revolutionary breakthrough, the Secret Weapon 24 Hr Mascara targets each individual lash by forming unique tubes of colour to amazingly lengthen, thicken and curl your lashes! The exclusive microwrap polymer formulation allows you to build the most breathtaking, beautiful lashes you long for."
Typical Mirenesse mascara style of packaging. I love the classy look.
The brush tapers down to a pointy end.

I was looking forward to trying this brush. I thought that with the smaller end I would be able to get right into those tiny corner lashes. This is the case, however, I have been experiencing a problem. I still have to take care, because with the end of the brush being smaller, excess product just gets scraped to the end, rather than being scraped off at the mouth of the mascara tube. So, I end up with too much product on the brush. I dab on a baby wipe, but can't really remove the majority, because I will end up with fluff on the brush.

As expected, the formula hasn't changed, which isn't a bad thing. It doesn't dramatically change my lashes, but does provide some of both volumising and lengthening. 

What I have always liked about the Mirenesse mascara is the tubing formula. It does not smudge and only comes off when removed. This is an easy process. The mascara comes off with warm water, coming off the lashes in small rubbery balls. I believe it would be a lot less damaging on the lashes.

Before and after with 2 coats of mascara.

Although there is an obvious difference in my lashes with this mascara, I wish the brush did more to separate them.

I can't go as far as saying that I am impressed with the Mirenesse Secret Weapon 24Hr Super Long Mascara, but it is decent enough for me to continue use.

What mascara are you loving at the moment?

    That mascara does work quite well on your lashes! But I do agree that more separation would be better.

      Thank you, Lily! I've been using castor oil on my lashes, which I think is really helping xx

    I used one of the Mirenesse Secret Weapon mascaras before - not sure if it was the Super Long or the volume one, but either way I wasn't impressed with it. I too didn't get great separation from it from memory & (previous) claims about it being tear-proof were debunked when I cried an entire eye's worth of mascara off my eyelashes at a funeral. Quite disappointing. I use Eye of Horus' mascara now and really like it.

      I don't need a mascara, but after your recommendation of EoH, I'll definitely keep it in mind when I do xx

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
