REVIEW & SWATCHES: Sephora Cream Lip Stains

A friend of mine recently went to Paris, France and I begged them to get me some Sephora Cream Lip Stains - people rave about them saying theyre amazing alternatives to expensive liquid lipsticks such as Anastasia Beverly Hills, Stila, Kat Von D etc!

They are a liquid formula of a thick cream, similar to the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams but a bit thinner, and are opaque like a lipstick. The best part about them is their staying power - since they dry completely matte, you can eat, drink and kiss and the colour will stay on for HOURS!

The two shades I have are:

13 Marvelous Mauve

01 Always Red

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara Review

The latest launch from Benefit Cosmetics is their Roller Lash Mascara, and since I received a sample of it in my March Birchbox, I figured I'd do a review!

Benefit are known for their They're Real mascara, being the number one best selling mascara in the UK and I own it myself - love it! So I was curious to see if this mascara could live up to a similar hype...

March Birchbox Review

Normally I do these Birchbox reviews on a Sunday, because I don't consider them as good of quality for my weekly Thursday posts. BUT this week I am away in Wales for the Duke of Edinburgh award during Wednesday - Saturday, so all I could manage to schedule for my Thursday post was a quick Birchbox review, sorry!

If you don't already know, Birchbox is a monthly box subscription where you receive at least 5 sample products ranging from beauty, hair care and skincare. It costs £10 per month + £2.95 P&P, and allows you to try out new products!

Winged Liner Pictorial

Winged eye liner is one of the hardest things (I personally think) to tackle when doing your makeup. I don't even think I'm that great at it to be honest - I ALWAYS end up having to fix and clean with makeup remover and concealer... My winged liner looks different every time that I do it, so don't let it stress you out!
