Most Hyped Mascara Of The Month | Benefit Rollerlash

Like many others, I snapped up this month's Elle magazine for £4 after hearing it came exclusively with the mini of Benefit's latest mascara. I have seen so many bloggers and vloggers raving about this product, so I knew I had to pick it up and try it out for myself.

This stuff does not disappoint; the idea behind it is that it will immediately lift and curl your lashes in one step, with no curlers needed. To be fair, my lashes aren't dead straight to begin with and usually I skip curlers anyway as they curl naturally and usually are helped along the way by my sleep mask. Still, it does exactly what it says on the tin! On first impressions, it appears to be quite a wet formula that just glides easily across my lashes, separating them and covering every lash. As there is something fitted inside the tube to get rid of excess product, there is no horrible clumping; my lashes feel light and lifted, yet still voluminous and beautifully curled.

This is all because the wand has been designed for a 'Hook & Roll' use; the thin plastic applicator is slightly curved with tiny spikes to catch, comb through and lift each individual lash. It really, really does work! After just one coat (although I do apply a couple more) my eyes appear more opened up and the lashes are left super black. IT ALSO LASTS ALL DAY! (And is easy to remove too).

The packaging is an added bonus. The sleek black tube topped with a rose gold lid is stunning (although the full size has a baby pink lid in the pattern of a curling wand), whilst the curled writing makes it sophisticated and adds to the aesthetics.

For me, this mascara ticks all the boxes and I just can't praise it enough. I love it!

ps. I have also decided that I am going to try to upload on as many Wednesdays as possible as well as my usual Sunday, because I have lots of post ideas that I just won't get a chance to include otherwise. I know also that most people upload on the weekends, so I thought I would be nice to have something extra during the mid week.

I will be busy some weeks, but I want to try :)

An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away - Lush So White

For Christmas I received from Lush's limited edition holiday range 6 of their So White bath bombs as well as a bottle of the matching shower gel.

Appearance wise, they are spherical bombs the size of my hand, and are a crisp and clean white as the name would suggest, like untouched snow.

The scent is heavenly. A strong apple aroma (which is one of my favourite smells ever), is currently coming from my box of lush, leaving a very fresh and crisp smell all around my room. I can't get enough of it!

The surprise is yet to come... 

As So White meets the water, the seemingly pure whiteness of the bomb disappears almost instantaneously, revealing a gorgeous, hidden baby pink shade at the core. It's soooooo pretty!

So after I had popped one of the bombs in - however they are so large that you could cut it in half to get two uses - it immediately began to fizz. It didn't dash crazily through the water like the ballistics do as it is only a bomb, but it did create a hissing sound and create tiny bubbles that quickly disappeared. (They were created purely because of the bomb's movement; only the bubble bars create mounds of soapy lather).

 

To add bubbles to my bath, I added a few drops of the shower gel. The scent is the exact same, but it's a totally different colour. The gel is an almost transparent pearlescent sheen that shimmers so beautifully on the skin.

Together, the bomb and gel clearly had excellent moisturising properties, as when I left the bath my skin was feeling very smooth and soft. The smell also lingered for ages! When I went into the bathroom the next morning, I could still smell the delicate appley fragrance.

If only they sold these all year round!
