Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara

So aside from concealer (thanks kids and hormones) the only other beauty product I don't think I could live would have to be mascara.

A good mascara can bring your face to life by widening and opening your eyes creating the illusion of fluttering feminine lashes.

A brand mew fave of mine is the Maybelline  Lash Sensational mascara (£9.99)

Reasonably priced and in an attractive, somewhat futuristic looking pale pink metallic wand  it promises longer, thicker, more volumed lashes.

Now it's not just the formula that requires attention but the brush itself needs to have some recognition.

It is Maybelline first layer reveal brush with 6 lengths of bristles to help capture even the tiniest lashes.

The result of such a device is a multi layered effect combined with with a low wax formula to offer intense blackness without clumping.

This unique design offers defined, lengthened and volumised lashes like never before.

The silky, light liquid formula attaches to these bristles and allows you to comb smoothly through your lashes while the soft curved brush head grabs at each and every hair to create an ultra-magnified effect. 

I can confirm that it is indeed a deeply intense black pigment and does an amazing job of seperatingbesch abs every lash, avoiding that horrible spider-lash look.

The gentle curve encourages lift while the multiple bristles seek out every lash, even ones you didn't know you had for a brilliant wide eyed, doe look look.

Flake and smudge free, it easy to remove but it won't budge from your lashes Until you decide to remove it.

For £9.99 and compared to other similar far more expensive mascaras, I'm seriously impressed.

Oh, and it doesn't irritate the delicate skin on and around my eyes.

In a nutshell. The Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara is a fabulous product at a great price point.

Whatever you're looking for, more length, volume or curl, this mascara has it all.

You can grab yours now from Superdrug.

O'Keeffe's Lip Repair Balms

Its that time of year again where the weather and central heating plays havoc with your skin, leaving it sore, cracked and dry.

My lips are always the first to suffer but thankfully I’m well equipped to deal with whatever winter has to throw at me this year thanks to O’Keeffes.

Their range of lip repairing balms are by far and away the best lip care products I have ever tried, AND they don’t cost a fortune!

Their highly effective formulas instantly relieves, repairs and moisturises extremely dry lips, offering long-lasting hydration throughout the day.

Clinically proven to provide all-day moisture in just one application, their balms create a long-lasting flexible barrier that protects your lips even when eating and drinking.

The multilayer flexible barrier they create moves with your lips, staying put rather than transferring to constantly help keep dry, cracked lips protected.

I’ve been a fan of their original Lip repair Stick for over a year and when my lips are suffering there is no other product I would turn to and that is not an exaggeration.

I’ve never tried such an effective lip treatment before. 

So popular has this balm become that they’ve recently launched three new additions to the line in the form of an Unscented Lip Balm tube, a Cooling Relief tube and an Overnight Lip Balm.

Offering a soft, matte finish the non greasy, non oily unscented balm is housed in a handy, squeezable tube and is a vibrant orange hue allowing you to locate it easily when its hiding in the depths of your hand bag!

The Cooing Relief balm features the same rich, deeply nourishing formula with the addition of a soothing and cooling hit upon application.

I’m head over heels in love with the new Overnight Lip repair Balm.

Offering a slightly different texture from the lip balm tubes, it has a more lightweight, shiny texture but with an equally matte finish.

It melts onto your lips, offering intensive moisturisation and hydration while you sleep, allowing you to wake with soft, repaired and comfortable feeling lips, regardless of how dry or cracked they were before you went to bed.

I am SO impressed by the longevity of these products. The formula really does cling onto your lips, hugging them tight ensuring they stay protected and comforted long after initial application.

They have no horrible after taste, no scent and just do a fantastic job of soothing dry lips.

O’Keeffe’s fabulous Overnight Lip Balm is available exclusively from Boots and costs £5.25 while the Unscented Lip Repair Tube cost just £4.75. The Cooling Relief Tube is available exclusively to Superdrug and also costs £4.75.
