They're Real

Hello beauts,

In my last post I showed a present I got as some false lashes. Truth is I'm awful at applying falsies and don't find them very comfortable. I will probably give them a try at some point though. Anyway I started using this mascara by Benefit and it's absolutely amazing! It really gives that false lash effect. Benefit are a cosmetics company which started in San Francisco. They are now hugely popular and loved here in the UK. I really like the Benefit makeup and have bought several products from them, one of my faves is their primer, POREfessional. But here are a few pics of the mascara after application:

Sorry I haven't taken any 'before pics' for comparison but believe me my lashes are sososo much longer (if you can't tell already!). I might use a bit less mascara next time as they started to look a bit spidery.

The mascara is called They're Real. You can get it from the official Benefit cosmetics website. I know it's also available from Boots and Debenhams, and is a little bit pricey at £18.50 (In comparison to mascara I have bought in the past). I bought from Debenhams after having tried it on by a makeup artist there. Overall this mascara is a good investment and is one of the best I have ever used. If you have tried it or have it, love it or hate it-
LEMME KNOW.

Lenses!

Hey girlies,
firstly I apologise for not doing any posts in the last couple weeks, I have been really ill with a flu type thing and had no energy whatsoever. Spent last week coughing my guts up, so not pretty! I just got a bit of a sore throat still but I am a lot better so thought I would do this post.
I got bored of wearing my green lenses all the time so I decided get some new ones I wanted to get more natural looking colour so I got brown, which is also my natural eye colour. I got a diameter of 14.5 so my eyes will still stand out yet be natural for a change. The previous ones I wore were by Geo they aren't the most comfortable but they are good lenses and the colour is really nice. I get my lenses from Honey Color. Never had a problem with them always delivered on time and well packaged. They also give you a cute free lens case with every pair of lenses purchased. I have a collection building up...

Anyway I got these lenses by Hyper, in the platinum series. They are called Hyper Platinum Brown and cost me £14.09 with £12 extra for express shipping (4 working days). 

They came in this box

inside were these 2 containers containing the lenses in solution. - I took this after I had removed the metal lids which seal them in properly.

With them I got this cute frog contact lens case ^__^

And this is how they look on my eyes...

Well they actually look a lot darker but the camera flash makes them look lighter hence making my pupils look really big haha! I wasn't sure about these lenses when I first tried them, I thought they were a bit alien like, but after wearing them a few times I like them a lot. They have a natural colour and give that cute big eye look :) They are so comfy,I have worn them for 8 hours and my eyes do not feel dry or irritated at all.

Just realised this is my first review :o

Sorry if it's not great or very informative just wanted to share :)

Here are some other pics :)

ta-rah for now :) xxx
