Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara - Whole Lotta Lovin...


Hello again :)

This is Maybelline's Illegal Length mascara and as far as I can see, there aren't many other fibre extension mascaras out there. Just as well then that this is good. Very, very good. Now, if you're a fan of very big, volumised lashes, then this probably won't be for you. But if you love your lashes long and defined, then read on!

The brush


I'm the first to admit that I have too many mascaras. I have 5. doesn't seem like a lot but if it's more than you use regularly, then it's too much. However, before I got this I had not ONE defining mascara (unless you count step one in Bourjois' The Volumizer, which I also have much love for). So I decided I needed one and really there was no question which one I would get. It was the words fibre extensions (ooooh) that got me. And so far, I'm totally in love.

Just LOOK and the length it gives! I really cannot tell you how much I love this mascara. I haven't tried yet (though I plan to!) but I'm certain you could layer a volumising mascara over this for a really gorgeous effect. I think it cost around €10 - €11, which is quite good considering what it does to ya eyes :D

So yes, I do indeed have a whole lotta love for this mascara and can't wait to wear it more!

NOTD: Yellow and Gold French Mani.



I'm not sure if I'll be doing a NOTD every week but I just liked this one oh-so-much that I had to share it! And no, don't panic, its not that your vision is blurring, I just couldn't seem to get the right lighting to show it off! Trust me though, it's lovely in real life.

Because of the 100 types of shite weather we've been having on t'Emerald Isle, I wanted to do something that would cheer me up when I caught sight of it, and this does :D

All I did was apply a basecoat, then a couple of coats of Rimmel's I <3 Lasting Finish in Sunshine. Then I applied Seche Vite and left it for about 15-20mins to harden. I tried it without the Vite and only leaving it for like 3mins but the guides I used just took the yellow off! So, I left it for a while, then I used Essence French Manicure Tip Guides to do the tips in Models Own Gold Rush.

And that's IT! It really does put a smile on my face and reminds me that there will be sun, sometime!
