Collection 2000 'Colour lash'



I was browsing through boots trying to find a mascara to buy when I spotted this clear mascara by collection 2000. I instantly thought this would be perfect to use as an eyebrow setting gel due to the fact its clear. It only cost around £3 and works like a dream! 

It doesn't come out to thick and wet, the brush allows for just the right amount of product to be applied to the brows and leaves them looking natural and not like I have gelled them down. 

for the price im very pleased with this, its just what I wanted and was really cheap. It keeps my brows in place, doesn't smudge my eyebrows after iv filled them in and doesn't dry crusty and flake.

I would recommend this to someone who wants a setting gel without the heavy price tag. 

Collection 2000 'Multiplier mascara'



Iv heard a lot about Collection 2000 mascaras, I know the pixiwoo sisters rate the 'Big fake false lash effect mascara' and Louise from a sprinkle of glitter likes the 'sky lash mascara'. So I thought why not try one of their mascaras for myself. I chose the multiplier because I liked the look of the brush. Its a plastic wand that aims to coat every single lash. 

I initially didn't like this mascara because I felt that it didn't do anything for my lashes, but I kept using it and after a week or two I realised that my lashes once I applied the mascara looked longer, so much longer! Im not sure if its because the formula dried a bit slightly or if my own eyelashes just grew a bit during the time. It gave me great length and really separated my lashes. It doesn't do much for fullness of lashes but if I combine this mascara with a volumising mascara, I get the perfect combination and the nicest lashes iv ever had. It dries pretty fast and don't smudge on me at all and has a very black finish to it.  I really do like this mascara and I think ill try more of collection 2000s' mascaras once this one has dried out.

Mini haul





As I'm a huge fan of the Trever Sorbie beautiful blonde shampoo I thought it was only right that I tried the conditioner as well. Both the shampoo and conditioner cost around £5, which I think is a great price for a product so good. I then needed a new mascara and personally I hate spending about £10 on a mascara, so I opted for a collection aka collection 2000 mascara as they are generally decent mascaras and only cost around £3, while I was there I spotted this clear mascara for around £2 and thought it would be ideal as a brow gel, so I also picked that up as well. Now I have been testing these for a while now (this post is late) and there will be a full review of all three coming soon but ill let have a sneak peak as to my opinion and tell you I really like 2 out of the 3. Which ones I like, you will have to just wait and see :P

Empties




Hi guys, so I know its been a while since iv blogged but I had a laptop issue. Basically It over heated and broke then It had to be sent away to be repaired and all that jazz. Anyway I'm going to kick things of with an empties blog.


So first of all I used up the catastrophe cosmetics face mask by Lush, I really enjoyed this. I had it for free with their whole 'bring back five clean pots and get a free face mask' deal that they have, which makes it even better! Its ideal for my skin, especially during times when I have break outs. Iv done a full review of this face mask here

The next thing I finished was my figs and rouge lip balm that I had in one of my glossy boxs'. I actually loved this, it really did nourish my lips, unlike vasaline and those types of lip treatments that just, coat the lips and don't do much else. It has a great smell and texture and left my lips feeling so soft. I really am going to buy some more of these, they have so many different scents and flavors, I'm spoiled for choice. Review here of my figs and rouge balm.

This month I have really gotten into body lotions and I managed to use up a whole bottle of Palmer's cocoa butter lotion. This product I sort of like, iv tried better, but its not a bad product at all. For the money its well worth it but Id say I love the body shops body butter far more. And again I have a full review right here

Iv gone through two shampoos, I liked the Trever Sorbie shampoo much more than the L'oreal one. Purely because I felt like it was doing a lot more for my hair, so naturally I will enjoy that one more. Its slightly more pricey but none the less, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. In fact iv just bought the shampoo and the conditioner in a full size bottle and a full review of the condition will be on its way. Until them you can read my L'oreal review here and my Trever sorbie review here 


I then finally finished a collection 2000 or just collection as its now known mascara that Iv had for what seems like years. This I loved and I'm pretty sure dried up a long, long time ago but I kept it just for the brush as it seemed to really separate and enhance my lashes. Its also pretty cheap and easy so get hold of, so an all round great mascara. As well at the mascara I also used up a collection 'extreme 24 hour felt tip liner' which I cant say I loved, the pigmentation wasn't so great and it was hard to get a strong line. 

I had a sample of zoom lash mascara by MAC that I also used up. I know this might be a bit controversial but I really didn't like it that much. I didn't do much for my lashes at all.  


Then the final thing I used up, isn't very exiting at all but never mind. Its the Garnier Mineral deodorant. I has become my favourite deodorant of all time and I keep rebuying it ever time I run out. I don't know what it is about it that I love, it just seems to work so well for me.
