Is BADgal BANG really out of this world?





Benefit Cosmetics’ New Mascara

At the beginning of this month Benefit Cosmetics released their brand new mascara after three months of hyping it up, and after using it for a week I’m going to share my thoughts on it. 
When it was first released I was a bit disappointed that it was a mascara, I was expecting it to be something we hadn’t really seen before, as I predicted in my last post I thought it would be a brow product or a new range, and with the kind of publicity it got I still feel as though it should have been a new range rather than just one product. Even though I knew what it was before I bought it, I still went to my nearest Benefit counter to buy it as soon as it was launched. According to the benefit representative I spoke to about it I was the first person in our region to buy it (how sad), so I did get a few freebies from it which was great as I love a lot of their products. 
But after using it for a week, did I think it was out of this world? Well in short, no I don’t think it’s out if this world, it certainly took a bit of getting used to, and I think there is a bit of a technique to using it, I found that if I just layered it on it became quite clumpy. It definitely felt light and my lashes did look thick and voluminous but it took a bit of work to prevent them from clumping together, I used a second dry mascara wand to brush my lashes after I’d applied the mascara to separate my lashes. I also found that it’s pretty hard to get off, this can be good and bad for a number of reasons, it’s hard wearing but just wiping my face quickly with micellar water won’t completely take it off. All in all, I do like the mascara, and I would recommend it, and as I said it does make my lashes thick and voluminous, I’ll continue to use it but I don’t know how much I prefer it to Too Faced’s Better Than Sex mascara. I’d rate Benefit Cosmetics BADgal BANG mascara 7/10, losing points for being a little clumpy, and while wearing it all day at work I found that there was some fall off, but I am very fussy about my mascaras!

4 Steps to Clear Skin

-My 4 Step Nightly Skincare Routine- Hello! So today I’m going to share my 4-step nightly skincare routine that I’m sure gives me clear and almost poreless skin! I been using few Liz Earle products every night for over a year now and I swear by it. People often say to me how clear my skin looks and I suppose that’s partly just down to luck, I never really get any spots and I was fortunate enough to not suffer with acne in school, but it’s also down to the products I use and how I look after my skin. I tend to apply quite a bit of makeup during the day which means I need a good makeup remover to get it all off, so I use the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser, which brings me to my first step. -Step One- I generously apply the Liz Earle cleanser to my dry face on top of all my makeup while I fill up the sink with “hand hot” water. Then using one of the Liz Earle muslin cloths, I wash the cleanser off which brings all my makeup off too, rinsing the muslin cloth under the tap after ev...

Magic Makeup Remover

-Magic Makeup Remover- I’m always interested in trying new beauty products and I love finding new things that work for me, so I subscribe to Birchbox (which is just a monthly subscription of different skincare and makeup products). In this months box I received something I've never heard of before so I thought it would be worth writing about it here. The the brand of the product is Afterspa which is new to me too, they describe this product as a magic makeup remover, so I was pretty interested in finding out more. Before I opened the packaging my initial thought was that it was going to be a little mitt, but when I opened it up it was a long oval piece of fluffy cloth, but I think I may have received a sample size so the full version probably is a mitt. I machine washed it first as instructed, because that's apparently what makes it work, according to the instructions (I’m not sure what the science behind it is). When I ran it under the tap I expected it be soapy a...
