Hi everyone!

Yeah, once again this weeks beauty post is about ANOTHER mascara. I'm sorry - theres so many coming out at the moment that I want to try, plus it saves you spending your pennies on a product that you know nothing about! 

This product is new on the shelves of Seventeen makeup range and is packaged very different to the other mascaras in the range (pictured below.) I've compared the look of this mascara against the Benefit They're Real mascara as it follows the same packaging the Benefit product with having images along the box to prove that its a good product. So - is this mascara the next Benefit They're Real at a cheaper price or is it just another dupe?

This product is from Boots and cost me £6.99 - a extremely reasonable price for something with different and extra packaging! I brought this in a Boots in Saffron Walden, but I've seen it in other Boots around my area so I think anyone in the UK will be able to find it! Once again 9ml of product as every mascara. 

Even though the packaging is different from any others in the range - the packaging of the actual mascara is very simplistic. It looks extremely like my go to mascara Seventeen Volume mascara. But the brush of mascara is very fine (shown in images below!) It looks like a thinner version of Benefits mascara, so at a first glance it looks very similar! I also brought this product in the colour brown/black for a more natural finish.

The length that this product gives is amazing! I love having long lashes and this product gives this look instantly after one brush through them. The product works really well with my lashes and I think it gives best results after 2 coats. The brush ensures that the lashes don't stick together and makes sure they're separate from each other - another thing that I love about this mascara, something that I will always want from mascaras!

I don't have any issues with this product and for my lashes it really works for me and gives me the look that I want! The only issue, like with every mascara, is that it will most likely clump up after many coats - and if you know me you know I don't like that look! Also, I would love a nicer look of this product instead of the simple bland black, but apart from that I love it!

For my lashes - it works really well, much better than Benefits mascara in my opinion. If you're wanting to try the Benefit mascaras, I would try this product first to see how your lashes get on with it! Overall, a great product for a very reasonable price - definitely try it out.

Hi everyone!

When it comes to mascaras - I think every lady will know that its a constant struggle to find a mascara that suits to your need. Some women like having lots of volume, where as others (like me) like having length, or both in some cases! However, we all stick to our favourites for ages as we don't want an expensive mascara go to waste or have a product that does nothing to our lashes.

Luckily, most mascaras for me that I try always give me nice results - my favourite brand which I will always live by is the Seventeen volume mascara in black/brown. Its such a basic and cheap mascara but it works extremely well with my lashes! However, I've been wanting try something that is around the same price range and is in the Seventeen category. This was when I stumbled across this Super Lash mascara (due to the colour obviously!) It's brand new on the shelve so I thought it deserved a little review!

So I brought this mascara from my local Boots and Seventeen is in most Boots across the country (basically if the brand is in my local Boots, it will be anywhere!) Like a normal mascara you receive 9ml of product and this cost me £6.99.  Extremely reasonable price for those on a budget!

This product has fibres in the liquid to help the lengthening effects to take place. This product is based on length instead of volume and once again these are my opinions about the product!

Although there are some slight negatives to this product, I would re buy this. Its because the simple negatives that I've found are something that are easily avoidable. For example the tackyness of the formula making my lashes stick together is easily avoided by just wiping the wand with a tissue before use!

If you want long lashes at a cheaper price, I would recommend as I think it has performed better than high end products such as Benefit.

Hi everyone!

Hope all of those in the UK have had a lovely long weekend off - I've literally just got in from the town fair and from filming a small GoPro video for my dad, I should be able to link it soon!

Once again, I have completely thrown my schedule out of the window and I am putting up a beauty post on a Monday - sorry I haven't really got a good excuse! Just a warning - there may be a slight delay on Fridays post, but I promise a super long post is coming your way the following Monday!

Anyways, let me start on this review for you all - I've finished rambling on;) 

(DISCLAIMER: these are all my own opinions, no branding or anything like that for this:))

I've been in need of a foundation for quite a while, and as you regular readers may know, I've recently brought Revlon Colorstay Foundation and I have adored wearing it due to the coverage that its given and how long its stayed on for etc. However, I've found as I've got the end of the bottle that its starting to get oranger and oranger (making up words once again.) As well as this, I've found that its beginning to get more cakey like Rimmel London's Wake Me Up foundation. Due to this I was in desperate need of finding a new foundation for my pasty skin!

A constant advert that keeps appearing on the TV is the No 7 colour match service (you know the one with that upbeat Jessie J song? Yep, that one) and I've been very curious on what its all about. As I'm in Cambridge 5/7 days a week, I decided to take a trip into town and find out what it was all about. 

Before doing this - I was debating whether to go to MAC and get them to match my skin and foundation together, and I'm sure that the quality of MAC is very good, but when you're on a budget you need to find the next best thing! 

(This match made service was in the Boots at the Grand Arcade in Cambridge.)

You get taken to their counter and they bring out this little machine thing and ask if its okay to take off your makeup. Don't worry - they don't remove every thing off your face, they just take a stroke away from your jawline so it can match your neck!

After clearing the area of makeup - they take a picture of your skin and then it proceeds to work out what shade you are (there are 17 shades altogether.) My skin tone matched the foundation Calico and I was able to put a tester on my skin and see the results. The place was well lit so you would be able to tell if there was any lines - which there wasn't! 

So this was all well and good - I definitely was interested in buying the foundation, but then there was the dreaded thought: "how much is this going to cost me?" And this foundation only cost me around £13. Extremely reasonable for the service I received AND the colour matches my skin!

I recommend this service to everyone who is struggling to find the perfect foundation for your skin. They will also ask what you would like from the foundation - for example: I asked for a matte, high coverage and long wear foundation. Since my skin is dried, the lady advised me to exfoliate and moisturise a lot more - and it has really helped out with the length of this foundation!

I was extremely happy with the service and I'm currently loving this product and I will definitely be using it for a while! I'll leave a link below so you can find your own Match Made store :)
