hush cream colour base.

As a reward for finishing my Art GCSE course a few weeks back I decided to allow myself a little, sneaky purchase from MAC, taking full advantage of their 'free mascara with every purchase' offer. At the top of my wish list was Hush Cream Colour Base, a product which I had been lusting after ever since a visit to the store in half term, so I parted ways with £16 (including postage) and received my free mascara and of course my beautiful Hush Cream Colour Base. Bargain, me thinks.

The colour of Hush is most definitely the perfect highlight colour for me, a peachy, bronze glow which delivers the most beautiful 'soft candlelight' look when worn on the cheekbones. It looks amazing for everyday wear and is easily my favourite highlighter of all time, so far. It also has a consistency to die for, creamy and buttery, and I just cannot get enough of this on my cheeks, definitely one of my favourite MAC purchases.

I also received MAC's Haute & Naughty Lash Mascara along with my Cream Colour Base purchase for free, woo hooo!

In a way this mascara is like two wands in one, with the purple part giving thick, voluminous lashes, and the pink part giving more natural, daytime lashes.

'Haute' Daytime Lashes (Pink)

'Naughty' Nightime Lashes (Purple)
 

  

Both parts of the mascara deliver well, giving lovely long thick lashes, however my only fault with this product is that after using the 'daytime' lash mascara, this makes the 'nightime' lash wand go very clumpy, however this can be fixed by wiping some mascara off with a tissue before use.

Overall though, its a lovely mascara, and an absolute bargain getting two mascaras in one for free!

Did you pick up the free mascara with MAC latest deal? What do you think of it? :)

mascara overload.

I am ashamed to admit that I have a problem. This problem has only reared its ugly hear during the last few months, but it seems to be getting worse and worse.

I have an addiction to mascara.

L-R Primark Eye Can't Go Wrong, Revlon Grown Luscious, Collection 2000 Big Fake Lash, Max Factor False Lash Effect, L'oreal Voluminous, Max Factor Lash Extension Effect, Models Own Mascara

BTW, im a geek and the mascaras are lined up so that the order goes from the center to the edges; best to worst 8)

Having previously been a religious owner of just Max Factor mascaras (my absolute favourite being False Lash Effect) I am now venturing into unknown mascara brands to me...

And I can't stop. That is why, for my own good, I have instigated a mascara ban, to try and cur the self-inflicted pain on my bank balance. I have an unopened L'oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara waiting in the wings, which I am only allowed to open when I finish another mascara, and under no circumstances am I to buy any more mascaras. At all.

Although right now I am craving another False Lash Effect... I have yet to find a mascara to trump this, and mine is almost gone, sob sob.

Must. Stop. Buying. Mascara.

My absolute favourite mascaras give a whole load of volume, length and generally amazing lashes... without the clumps. But isn't that what every girl wants from her mascara?! I find that the closest I can get to my perfect lashes is a combo of Max Factor False Lash Effect (2 coats) and then a swipe of L'oreal Voluminous, although I do find this pretty damn clumpy.

How do you get your perfect lashes?

And if you do have any recommendations for some wonderful mascaras you love, pop them in the comments please :) For reference when the ban finishes. Probably. Tee hee ;)

Oh and, before I forget...

Its Friday, Friday, Friday

Gotta get down on Friday

Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)... oh wait, its Saturday *headesk*
