Bourjois Dark Khol Mascara Review ♥


Heeeeey! I hope you're having a good week, I have loads to get done at the moment and my room is a complete tip and I need to take blog pictures... so stressed! I thought you would like to read about this lovely mascara I have been using recently, let me know what you think. 
I absolutely love the applicator brush, it is such a unique, interesting shape. The spiked end is great for applying mascara onto my bottom eyelashes, it doesn't make them clumpy or stuck together! The hourglass shaped head is great for applying lots of mascara on my top eyelashes but also separating each individual lash. 
The formula in this mascara is great, it allows my eyelashes to flex, so they don't feel so solid and don't look fake. It is a very dark black colour which makes my eyelashes stand out even more. It doesn't break up through the day and fall onto my face either which is good. I don't know if it is just my bottle of mascara or what but to me the product itself smells of pollen? (I have really bad hayfever so don't worry it doesn't actually include pollen or I wouldn't be able to use it!) but it smells like it! If anyone else has noticed this please let me know in the comments so I don't seem so crazy! haha. Overall I love this mascara, so if you are looking for a new one then I recommend you try this out!

Over Hyped Products/Alternatives #1 - Benefit They're Real Mascara (with pictures)

Hello, I thought I would do a different kind of post today, I am a bit unsure how some people will react to this post but I thought I would give my honest opinions on the Benefit They're Real Mascara - £19.50. 
**Before I start I would just like to say that I am in no way 'bashing' this product and saying it is rubbish, because it definitely isn't, I just think there are much cheaper alternatives out there.**
I recently got this mascara free in Elle's June issue, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try it before I bought the full size version. I do love the mascara, the product and application is very very good and Benefit always deliver brilliant products BUT I have a few of mascaras that do the exact same thing for a fraction of the price. I think that the fact I naturally have very long eyelashes could make the product feel 'sameish' to me.
 I can get a similar application and result from these two high street mascaras.. I would say they are the best dupes I have found so far, 
Collection Skyscraper Lash £4.99 is the cheapest dupe I have found. The wand and product itself are very good. 
Next is my current mascara which I prefer to the Benefit mascara,  Max Factor Clump Defy £10.99. 
Overall I think if like me you have long lashes, you probably won't notice a huge difference compared to other high street mascaras with a plastic wand.

Here are a couple of pics comparing the results of Benefit They're Real and Max Factor Clump Defy. (I had my hair up in a towel in my eye pics, that's the white thing in the background, sorry for my unprofessional-ism haha)
