Duty Free Haul

So not everything I got was in the airport, but Lanzarote is a duty free island, which means cheap fags, booze, perfume and cosmetics woo!

The only thing I actually got in duty free I forgot to take a picture of was my usual MAC concealer. I had actually saved up a fair bit of money to spend on duty free MAC only to find out pretty much most of what I want is high street exclusive. Very clever MAC, very clever.

Anyway here is the stuff I did pick up on the island:

I wanted to include a picture of the boxes because they are shiny. I am a magpie. But onto what I got. So I got a YSL Rouge Vulupte in number 13. It is a lovely bold but wearable colour, and the lipstick is lovely and creamy. I have wanted a YSL lipstick for a while, but the price always puts me off. I think I managed to get it for 17 euros though. Next up we have the Helena Rubenstein Lash Queen Mascara in Feline Black Waterproof. I'm not going to lie, half the reason I went for this mascara is for the packaging. I used to love trying out loads of different mascaras, but after using MUFE Smokey Lash I haven't bothered, but being able to get the high end mascaras cheaper has made me want to branch out again. I bought this for 19 euros and the cheapest I have seen it online in the UK is £27. I also got a YSL Teint Radiance foundation in the shade 03 Opal. I decided to get a colour for in the summer when I am darker, although this is darker then my usual foundation it is not dark enough for my skin right now so I have to wait for my tan to fade a little bit because I'm a bit stupid. And last but not least we have DiorShow Blackout mascara. This is one of those mascaras you always hear about so I thought why not.

So that is what I got. Reviews to come of the foundation and mascaras. But yea on my second day back on being in England I am most definitely depressed to be back.

Sundary Superstar Product - Mascara

So I have decided to start a mini series, as I love looking at other peoples. Mine is going to be on a Sunday, if you hadn't guessed! It will be focusing on my essentials, so there will be a lot of photos with me with no make up on (eek!) and then with the product so you can get a full comparison.
So the first product is my mascara. I have been using this mascara for about 2 years now and I love it. I always stock up when I go to America because it is slightly harder to get hold of in the UK. It is Make Up Forever Smokey Lash Mascara.
So here we have my naked lashes:And here we have my lashes after two coats of Smokey Lash:

So I think the first thing that is pretty obvious, is that it is very easy to clump. I generally only do one coat because I find it is enough, but I thought I could show the effects more with two, bit of a mistake really!
It is also pretty costy at £17.04, but these are the only two negatives I can find about this product.
The positives are, that it is a lovely dark colour, it is lengthening and I think it makes my lashes slightly thicker looking aswell.
I didn't curl my lashes for these photos, but if you do it keeps the curl really well.
Another big plus for me is that this mascara doesn't flake. I wear contact lenses so flakey mascara really irritates my eyes. I also have pretty sensitive eyes anyway, so I have to avoid waterproof mascaras at all cost, unless I want stoner eyes. This doesn't leave me with panda eyes after watching the notebook.
Generally a tube of this will last me about 5 months, so not too bad!
