The "Drugstore" Mascara Review

Hello there;

I get complimented on the length of my eyelashes on a weekly basis. Granted they are quite long naturally but I obviously enhance them with a good mascara. I have no single go to mascara, I change it up a bit as I tend to get pretty bored of one certain type of mascara. And I thought it was only fair that I shared my views on the 5 "drugstore" brands that I use. 

I hate using the word drugstore, but god how else do I describe it? Not high end? The cheaper ones? Bloody hell I don't know. I guess we've just gotta get over the name and crack on with it right?! Right okay lets go, it's gonna be a long one! 

Disclaimer

First things first. I did not curl my eyelashes at all before using the following mascaras, all natural. And on my eyes, I primed them with a little concealer (Collection Lasting Perfection in Light 2) and then set this with my Mac Studio Fix powder in NW25. No editing has been done to enhance the length of the lashes only a little touch up to make the pictures brighter. I also did 2 layers of the mascara on each eye so all of them have a fair chance. 

Nyx and Cuccio Nail Polishes.

Hello there;

In my previous post, you will see I brought 3 new nail polishes from Pro Beauty North. My Nyx one was a free polish I got from the stand, gotta love Twitter and the things you can find on there. 

The Cuccio were on buy 2 get 1 free. So I was desperate for a quick dry solution and it is a great one and it only made sense to buy another 2 products. 

Katie Nails #1

Hello there;

If you have read my Pro Beauty North post, you will know that I have a lovely beautician friend called Katie. When we was at Pro Beauty, she went a tiny little bit gel nail polish mad in Harmony Gelish; and brought A LOT of new colours. But this is good news for me. Katie popped round and did my nails and I only had to pay her in lasagne and apple crumble. Good trade if I do say so myself. 

Getting set up.

Pro Beauty North.

Hello there;

On Sunday the 13th October, I got invited by my dear friend Katie, to go to Professional Beauty North in Manchester with herself and Cham (another friend of mine). Nowwwwww, I was a little naughty to get into this, as you have to be in the beauty trade. And other than this blog, I am not. So we told a little white lie and made out I was in the trade, hehe.

Luckily for us Manchester is only 90 mins away, it was pretty straight forward getting there. As soon as we parked up it was straight to Subway. Gotta have your priorities right, tummy first. Then we proceeded up to the G-Mex.
