Welcome to our website !
I think we all have those days where simple make up is all we feel like and for me, today was one of those days.


| 1) ELF Mineral Foundation ~ Porcelain | £5
I recently purchased this as my first mineral foundation and I've been trying it out today. So far I'm really liking it, but I'm going to keep using it for a little longer before I do a full review.

 | 2) The Body Shop Eyeshadow ~ #4 | £7
I bought this eyeshadow a few weeks ago when The Body Shop had 50% off and I'm so glad I now have it. It's the perfect colour for me, and it's matte which I like on some days when I just want quick and easy make up. It doesn't crease and I've worn it without a primer today and I've still had no creasing so I'm impressed.

 | 3) Max Factor Wild Mega Volume Mascara ~ Black | £6.99 (currently £4.99 as an introductory price)
I've already done a full review of this mascara here and I absolutely love it. It has an hourglass shape wand, which isn't the normal wand you'd expect from a mascara, but I really like it. It doesn't clump my lashes and it doesn't flake off during the day.

 | 4) FashionistA Eyebrow Kit | £7 (currently on offer for £3.50!)
For a year or so I stuck to my ELF Eyebrow Kit but I decided it was time to try something new and I love this palette. I will be doing a review in the next couple of weeks so look out for that, but overall I'm really loving this palette for my brows and I definitely recommend it.

 | 5) Sleek Contour Kit ~ Light | £6.49
I've had my contour kit for a while now and I always go back to it to if I fancy a change from my Bourjois 'Chocolate' Bronzer. The contour powder in this kit is perfect for me because it doesn't look muddy and that's something I sometimes have an issue with, since I am so pale. The highlighter in the kit is also lovely, but however I gave that a miss and just wanted to add a little bit of colour to my face.


What are your staple beauty items for a simple make up look?
The other day my Mum came home from shopping and bought me a little gift, which was extremely kind of her. It was the Max Factor Wild Mega Volume Mascara in Black. It retails for £6.99 but is currently on offer in Boots for £4.99 as an introductory price. 



The brush is an hourglass shape, which is interesting because I don't think I have another mascara with the same wand shape. I'm not too fussy about mascaras because my eyelashes are a fairly good length and I'll happily use almost any mascara. 

No eye make up at all.

One coat of Max Factor Wild Mega Volume Mascara on my top lashes.

As you can see from just one coat, there is a huge difference in length and volume. I am so impressed with this mascara, especially as I've never tried Max Factor mascaras before. Although in the photo I've not applied any mascara to my bottom lashes, my eyes still look a lot brighter and more open with the mascara applied on the top lashes. Max Factor claims that it gives up to 3x more volume compared to bare lashes, and looking at my comparison photos I think I would agree with this claim. 
It doesn't clump my lashes and it doesn't crumble off throughout the day so overall I am so glad I have this mascara, and I know I'll definitely re-purchase it when I need a new mascara. 

Have you tried this mascara? Or any other Max Factor mascaras?
