Maybelline The Falsies Mascara Review!

Ever since using my M2 Beaute eyelash growth products i have been obsessed with Mascara. I have quite a little collection going on in my search for the perfect lashes.
I thought I'd give a little review on the Maybelline Falsies Mascara which i purchased as a spur of the moment thing as it was on offer in ASDA for £6


The Falsies in Black Drama

The brush is very curved and it holds a lot of product. The first few times i used it meant it just applied way too thick and clogged up my lashes but i read the back and it says to apply with the brush held with the curve away from your lashes like in the photograph below.

I also need to scrape some off into the tube before applying but then it works like a dream. It seems to be one of those mascaras that works better as time goes on and i get use to the application.


Before:

1 Coat:

2 Coats:


I really really like this mascara. Its great for thick lashes it really volumizes as well as lengthens and it is a really Jet Dark black. It has one downside and that is if you try to add more coats once its dry it will flake.
This is not a problem for me as i just apply 2 coats to each eye separately and i never add more mascara in the day but i know some people do.
Have you tried this mascara yet?

July Favourites & Empties!

Morning lovely ladies. I'm quite pleased with my empties for July. I seem to be on a bit of a roll with this using something before starting another milarki.
Anyway here are my used up products:

Empties!

Burts Bees Baby Wash & Shampoo: Love this product its so gentle and mild and useful for the whole family.

Liz Earle Energising body lotion: Its rare i use up a body lotion but this one is amazing. I have been slapping it on hips, bum and the tops of my arms and tummy area so there is no wonder its all gone. A definite re buy.

No7 Eye Make Up Remover: A great product, removes waterproof mascara easily. I will re buy this at some point but have quite a few others i want to try first. Just started on the botanics one for now.

Skin Science Bio Active Eye Contour: This tiny tube of amazingness is a product i am sad to have used up. Its Amazing. The prize tag on the other hand is just too steep for me £75. Still if you feel like a splurge then this is the one to go for. If you want to read more then check out my older post

Impulse body spray: I don't use body sprays very often I'm more of a perfume girl but i have enjoyed the freshness of this and it sort of reminds me of my youth for some reason.

Molton Brown Mini Coco De Mer Bath & Shower Gel: This was sent to me by the lovely Skin Scrubs and its the first Molten Brown product Ive used. It smells amazing and leaves skin super soft. Coconut fruit and honey made this the perfect holiday choice.

Now on to my Favourites



 L'Occitane Purifying Rice Toner

This does a great job of toning my skin and leaves it feeling really clean and silky to the touch. The smell of this is beautifully soothing and it contains salicylic acid which seems to help prevent my usual breakouts. This mini bottle is being used up at lightning speed.

Alpha H Liquid Gold

I have only recently started using this wonder product but i apply it at night and when i wake up my skin looks really glowy and smooth. I'm looking forward to seeing results after another month or so but loving it so far.

GOSH Lip Jam 107

There is nothing i dislike about this gloss, the colour looks great over any lippy, it smells quite strongly like bubblegum so not great if you don't like the smell. ( I happen to love it )
It has great staying power compared to most glosses too.

Caudalie Tinted Moisturiser

 I have been making the most of my tan and using this product to give it a boost. I adore this tinted moisturiser and will be doing a proper review soon. It's packed full of natural ingredients and it just gives an amazing glow to the skin. I get compliments on my skin when i wear this a lot :)

M2 Beaute Eyelash Growth System

I am nearing the end of these two products now and my lashes have never been as long before. I would undoubtedly recommend these as they have transformed my lashes from being the shortest stubby lashes to decent ones which to me has made a world of difference. I have reviewed here but another one coming soon with final results.

 Maybelline The Falsies Volume Mascara very Black

A great mascara for really black lashes. It can be a bit clumpy if I'm not careful but brilliant for big lashes and added drama. I've been wearing this nearly everyday and the more i use it the more i like it. Full review coming soon.


Makeup Forever High Definition Powder

I'd forgotten how brilliant this powder is. I love this powder because it is so invisible on the skin but just gives a beautiful polished finish. So lightweight and keeps skin shine free and keeps it looking ultra natural. Well worth the price tag. This has lasted me forever but I'm afraid i am nearing the end of the pot.

Thanks for reading if you got this far lol. As always feel free to leave a comment or a link to your favourites too xx
