I'm back.

I'm back, with a beaut new camera and a whole load of new cosmetics.

I want to start with my new lipstick/gloss 'Bourjois - Rouge Edition Velvet' in '04 Peach Club'. I've dabbled with red lipsticks but always found myself looking more of a clown than Marilyn. This lets you be a little less committal, but still gives that instant colour. It's so matte and a teeny bit dry, but doesn't crumble off.  I'd label it somwhere between a gloss and a lipstick as you apply it with a wand like you would with a gloss, but it's drying and staying power is definitely lipstick material. Note - be careful to over do it as it will come off unnaturally and leave a line around your lips!



Next;  "Volume Million Lashes" 'So Couture' By L'Oreal Paris. In the past, I've used a similar mascara and seen good results.  I bought this at an introductory discount price, but won't be buying again. It does a decent job of separating lashes and somewhat lengthening them, but it doesn't give you any thickness or ironically; volume. I'll avoid next time.

My favourite mascara at the moment is still L'Oreal, but this time it's "False Lash Telescopic" It's around £10.99, so a little on the pricey side, but it's less prone to clumps, needs less coats and manages to enhance even the smallest lashes due to its flexible wand. To help ease the price tag, it's quite a long lasting mascara, so you won't find yourself in the shops again in 2 weeks. 

Lastly, is another L'Oreal, this time; "Infallible 24h Lip Colour". 



I've tried this three times now, and on all occasions it's crumbled off and I've ended up peeling it off. You can buy this in a range of colours, but I usually tend to buy pinky/reds. I would not recommend this product, it's hard work and there's lots of better glosses out there. 24 hours? Bitch, please.
