HD Brows In a Bottle

If you're a newbie to the brow game, or don't have a spare 30 minutes to spend on your brows each day (who does?), Maybelline may have just answered your prayers. 

Recently when having a binge in Superdrug, I came across Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara. I was originally looking for a clear mascara that I could use for prepping my brows, but I'm so glad I stumbled upon this little gem!

It's as easy and simple as it looks. You literally just swipe it over each brow, and they are done. Just like that. It's perfect for the day, or a more subtle look. I've got it in dark blonde, and it suits me perfectly. It goes with my skin-tone and my very light hair!

AND...

I paid just £4.99 for this bad boy in Superdrug, but it's also on Amazon for £3.75.. I know? Bargain. 

You can buy it here - Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara Dark Blonde

How To Get Longer Eyelashes - In 12 Weeks!

How To Get Longer Eyelashes 

We've all had those moments of over-using eyelash curlers, and pulling all your eyelashes out; right? No? Just me? Oh. Well, yeah I did do this, and yeah it hurt like hell. Physically, emotionally, mentally. Looking at a strip of my lashes on the inside of my curlers was like looking at a puppy you know you can't have. 

I've tried many things to up my lash game, and often wear falsies (Eyelure 101's if you're keeping track for my birthday ;)). In my journey of lash-dom, I was delighted to hear from the lovely people at fLash who hit me up and offered me to try out their serum. How could a girl resits?

Who are fLash?

An American company, who are crafting their reputation by offering safe and effective cosmetic treatment products that perform brilliantly at an affordable price (what every girl dreams of, surely?).

So, I hear you cry, what is fLash Eyelash Serum*? fLash conditions lashes, even for people with sensitive eyes. It promises to give you long, sexy curled lashes - fast (well, around 6-12 weeks). It's physician formulated and tested and they even offer a money-back guarantee.

Easy 1-2-3 Step Application

1. Open

The bottle is really sleek looking, it's nice and compact so it can slide into any of your make-up bags; or if you're like me, one of your beauty draws. Remove the applicator brush from the tube (which is very similar to a liquid eyeliner), and be sure to wipe off any excess inside the edge of the tube. 

2. Glide

With one easy stroke (yeah, this never happens with liquid eyeliner), glide the brush along the lash line from one corner to the other. Think where you would put the eyeliner, not a mascara.

3. Wait

Just play the waiting game - fLash recommend you allow 2-6 weeks of daily application to start to notice a difference in your lashes.

So I've been using the serum daily (with the odd day missed because my head is like a siv) and my eyelashes are noticeably longer and also seem thicker.

fLash recommend to use the serum for the full 12 week course, but even after about 4-6 weeks you can start to see some results. The bottle is a full 3 month course so you know you won't run out, and like I said, I've used mine daily for the last three months (again, except for the odd day or two - whoops) and I still have serum left, which I'm definitely going to be using all up. 

Before and After

I made sure I took the above pictures after a shower, 4 cotton pads of micellar water and a whole day of no mascara, so trust me - it's legit!  I probably didn't notice how much it has improved the length due to it being over a 12 week period, however now looking at the before and after, there's definitely improvement! (Also, you can see an improvement in my eyebrows, which I recently had waxed ;))

I'm quite lucky that my eyelashes are relatively long anyway, and it only takes one of my handy mascaras to help a sister out. However, I'd definitely recommend this stuff. A picture speaks a thousand words and this pictures shouts fabulous lashes!

You can buy fLash serum, here for £31.00 a pop!

My Room 101

What would I put in Room 101?

Okay, so there are plenty of serious things I would like to actually put in Room 101, however; there are also lots of annoying little things that the human race do that make me so angry I want to pull the head off a Barbie doll.

Today, I'm going to focus on those little pet peeves that peeve me the blog off. What better way to get out my built up frustrations, than slapping it on t'internet to see if any other weirdo's agree with me?!

The Word 'Haul'
Since entering the blogging world, this word has absolutely taken the biscuit. Everywhere I turn, somebody, somewhere, some how, is having a 'haul'. 

Noisy/Sloppy Eaters
Your mouth is not a washing machine. Please don't invite me in by swirling your food around your mouth in an open fashion. It's disgusting and actually makes me want to physically punch broken glass.

People With No Manners

Either when you open a door, or let them through on a junction. A. Simple. Thank. You. I am not here to serve you, sir. 

Wolf Whistling 

In no circumstance have I ever witnessed somebody be on the receiving end of a wolf whistle, and it end in positivity. Why do people think a wolf whistle will make you turn around and think, "Hmm that's the man for me. The guy who is glaring at me, with a weird grin from over the road. The whistler." THIS NEVER HAPPENS. Stop it.

One Floor Elevator Journey
Unless you have a particular reason why you are using the lift to go up one flight of stairs, get out and walk it. Seriously, one flight of stairs isn't going to kill you. I've been partial to a two flight lift journey (on my lazy, lazy days) but one flight is taking the wee-wee.

Clumpy Mascara
I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. But clumpy mascara doesn't look good on anybody. I honestly, truly believe that. It looks like you haven't washed your make-up off for days and could do with a teeny tiny comb.

Okay, I'm sorry if anybody was upset from the above. I was upset writing it. Living it. My purpose of this post was not to offend, but to extinguish my agonising pent up frustrations. I thank you, sweet internet. 

What would you put in Room 101?

Too Faced - Better Than Sex Mascara

I'm the type of person who has spent years looking for each of my individual make-up products. I don't stick with a particular brand, I don't have a fave (although, some come quite close!). I have a total mix of brands in my make-up draw. It's an uphill battle for foundation still, but that's for another blog post! 

I found my primary mascara a few years ago now, and once I've found the one, I hardly ever budge. I mean, it takes ages to find the exact one that suits you individually. As we all know - what works for one, doesn't necessarily work for the other. The adverts may be fancy, the products may look glam, but you have to try it for yourself to see if it fits in with you. 

My go to mascara is Max Factor's False Lash Effect. I have naturally quite long eyelashes, but they're really light - especially the tips. I get this in black, and it does add that false lash effect and this is definitely one of the staple pieces in my make-up bag.

I've heard a lot of Too Faced's Better Than Sex mascara* recently, and now I'm going to try this bad boy out. Let's see if this can deviate me out of my norm, shall we?

What's different about Better Than Sex?

Well, firstly, the brush is in the shape of an hour glass. It's shaped this way to allow the brush to coat and curl each lash to give it that full, defined, stretched-to-unbelievable lengths look. 

It has collagen-fueled formula, which is smudge proof for an all day wear and contains acacia senegal tree extract which nourishes, thickens and locks the curls in place. 

Is this going to live up to it's big, massive, HUMONGOUS hype?! Lets take a looksie...

The Verdict

Right, so this did have big boots to fill -- I love my normal mascara. It filled them to the brim, and poured a little over the top. I went back to my Max Factor one after a few days of using Better Than Sex, and my eyes looked so much duller! I didn't realise the amount of work this bad boy does. After just a few coats there is significant difference. I haven't even done a proper session with the coating and applying as I really haven't felt the need to.

Are There Any Downfalls?

The only things I do have to say, is it can clump on the end of the brush, which sometimes then splatters on to your face. So as long as you're removing this before applying - you're good to go. Another thing is it's a lot more difficult to remove every inch of it. Usually my micellar water completely removes every bit of makeup, but I seem to still have panda eyes in the morning with Better Than Sex!

However, there two little bumps definitely don't deviate from the wonders that is Better Than Sex.

And is it better than sex, I hear you cry? - I never kiss and tell!
