New CID Mascara Review

Every month I buy the Cosmopolitan magazine, not only do i love the juicy content but the freebies they include are a huge plus! In this months edition Cosmo was kind enough to give us all a bottle of the New CID I-Intense Mascara (High intense volumising) in black. I am very reluctant when it comes to trying out new mascaras as i hate it when you re left with clumpy "spider legs" eyelashes, i am quite comfortable with my current mascara i own. However i had run out of my usual so i had no choice but to give this a go and boy am i glad i did. I love the brush, the texture and the end result. You can create such long looking lashes with just a few little coats.

My eyelashes really don't do this mascara justice, but trust me this is a miracle for me. I have never been able to get any mascara to help lengthen my lashes like this one has done as they are so naturally short. The brush has a profusion of bristles in a spiral like shape, so the best technique when applying is to twirl the brush and slide it up your eyelashes. This spreads out the lashes and prevents them from clumping together. I would 100% recommend this product to anyone who loves naturally looking, long eyelashes like i do!

Not only is the contents incomparable but the bottle alone is attractive to the eye. Rather than your mundane, cliché block colours New CID has made the bottle to be mirrored, how jazzy! You can purchase this product from John Lewis or the New CID Cosmetics website itself. I admit it is quite pricey at £18.50 but it is totally worth the money. I would love to hear your opinion if you have ever tried out this mascara, don't be afraid to get in touch!

Hair tutorial - Beach wave curls and headband using own hair

Lately I've been trying to style my hair in different, but yet simple and stylish ways. I've done lots of experimenting and was quite happy with how this look turned out so I thought I would share with you on how I achieved it. I started off with freshly washed and messily blow-dried hair. Using my Babyliss curling wand i created beach wave curls by taking medium sized sections of hair at a time. Once all the hair was curled I gave it a good spritz using Wella Silvikrin hairspray in maximum hold (This hairspray is a godsend!) and run my fingers through the ends to loosen and spread out the curls, giving the hair a messy texture. The headband is actually my real hair, all I did was grab a section of hair from behind my ear (doesn't matter how big or small the section it all depends on what size you want your plait and if you have enough hair to hide the missing chunk). I then plaited this section and pulled it right over my head where i wanted the headband to sit and gripped it behind my opposite ear. I then repeated this process on the other side creating a double headband. Behind the plaits i decided to backcomb my hair just to help it stay set back and to create extra volume. If there is anything that you don't understand do leave a comment and I will try to explain in more detail for you. If any of you re-create this look do show me, post it on your Instagram and be sure to tag me in it!

No7 Make-up Brushes Review

These are my everyday make-up brushes. They're limited edition by No7 in gold. These are the best brushes I have ever come across, they apply make-up brilliantly, the bristles are so soft, I have not seen one bristle ever fall out (Like my previous rubbish brushes!) and they're so pretty! I honestly don't know how i ever applied make-up without them. The set includes (From left to right) Powder brush, Foundation brush, Smokey Eye-liner brush, Lip brush and a Blend & Contour brush (which i have no idea what is used for so any help and advice will be nice). My favourite one would have to be the Foundation brush, it applies the liquid so smoothly all over and creates a flawless look. I would definitely recommend these to anyone seeking better make-up application. Now I doubt this set will still be available as like I said these are limited edition, i got them at Christmas time, but I'm 100% sure that other No7 brushes will be the same just a different colour. If anyone else has these do comment as i would love to hear if your opinion on them is as positive as mine!
