Mission Accomplished- L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara

I'll admit that I was pretty disappointed when I had used up the last of the Majolica Majorca lash duo. A primer and mascara that gave my lashes volume and length. Before repurchasing these like I wanted to, I already had mascaras to use, and being determined to use more before replacing, I resorted to the next mascara in line for use.

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara was one I had not bought myself, but I was willing to give it a try. I had been gifted with the colour Extra Black, my favourite mascara shade :)
The packaging has been designed in such a way that any excess mascara is removed from the brush, via the opening to ensure no clumping to lashes. The brush was made to add maximum lash coverage, whilst separating lashes.
I really like the ergonomically designed mascara tube, easy to hold and the gold/black color scheme is an attractive look.
The brush is rubber, so is slightly flexible, yet without too much play, quite a good balance for application.

 To be honest, I wasn't really expecting a whole lot from this mascara. But, you know what? I was pleasantly surprised. I got my desired volume and length with 2 applications, with very minimal clumping. It's not waterproof, but having allergies with eyes that water, I didn't struggle with smudging, when applied to my upper lashes. Let me explain. I did experience smudging on my lower lashes, to overcome this, I just simply don't apply mascara to this eye area. I really found the results far outweighed the inconvenience of not being able to wear mascara on my lower lashes.

 Would you like to see this mascara in action?
Before and after, one coat mascara.
Before and after, 2 coats mascara.

I just love the depth of colour, and the gorgeous lashes that I can achieve with L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara, it does wonders for my spindly natural lashes.

 Another thing worth mentioning, is that wearing this mascara didn't make my lashes feel stiff and about ready to snap off. Not that I am always in need of touching them, but on the odd occasion when I rub my eyes,  it's nice not to fear that I am going to lose any.

 Have you tried this mascara?

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

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.
