Soap &Glory - Thick & Fast Mascara

Soap&Glory Thick&Fast Mascara



They say...
This false lash effect mascara creates amazingly, longer, fuller fabulous lashes. Featuring Superfill False Lash Fillers, Shine Amplifiers and No Flake 24 Technology.



Firstly, I'm leaning two ways with this mascara. They say that it gives longer fuller lashes, which yeah, I can agree with because it did make my eyelashes noticeably longer after one coat. Fuller, after about 3 coats, which isn't what I look for in a mascara because I need something that doesn't need a lot of work for the product to do its job right. 

However, on the other hand, whilst using this product I found that the brush was way to large for my eyes to use on the bottom lashes and I struggled with it on my top as it was going all over my eyelids which isn't good, just annoying! I was extremely unhappy with the fact it didn't make my eyelashes curl at all even with using a eyelash curler before. Am I doing something wrong?! 


Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. It's not what I was looking for or expecting at all. I thought and hoped that my lashes would look something fairly like the picture on the box which the mascara is meant to make your lashes look like, and I got the complete oposite. There are much better mascaras on the market than this one, which is a disappointment as most of their other products are faultless!

What's On My Face #1

What's On My Face #1
I guess this is a similar post to my 'What's in my makeup bag' post I did previously. Except an updated version. These products are what I'm loving at the moment...


My first WOMF! The products above achieve a lovely dewy face, which is right on trend!

I firstly start by using L'Oreal Lumi Magique primer all over my face. This gives a really glowy look as the particles in it are very shimmery and pearl like. For my foundation I am using Benefits Hello Flawless foundation. It is a lovely light coverage foundation, but still covers any imperfections. It is a very natural, radiant looking foundation once on your skin. I then apply Benefits Sun Beam with a Mac 187 on my cheeks, and lightly dust over my face to make it more luminous and add a bit more colour to my face. Once that has dried a little, I apply Nars Laguna Bronzer to warm my face up nicely, and in the hollows of my cheeks for a more contoured look. For my blush, I am using Maybelline's Dream Touch Blush in Peach, on the apples of my cheeks. I prefer cream blushes when I am going for a much more radiant look as they give a more natural finish. Lastly on my cheekbones I apply MAC Soft & Gentle to highlight.
On my eyes, I apply a base of Maybelline's Color Tattoo in the shade 05- Eternal Gold. In the crease and outer of my eyelid, I apply another Color Tattoo in the shade 35- On and on Bronze. To line my eye, I apply L'Oreal Super Liner just along my lash line. Finally, I coat my eyelashes a couple of times with Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara. I love this mascara because it adds volume and length, without making my eyelashes clump!

Let me know how you get on when trying out this look.
Lots of love xx
