Maybelline Eyes and No7 Lips

When it comes to make-up I am most definitely an eyes and lips sort of gal. I always need to have a lipstick and a mascara (If I haven't applied some at home) handy in my bag. I have quite a vast collection of lipsticks and mascaras - so I tend to change it up whenever I can. I don't really like sticking to just one particular look. 

Currently, for my lashes I am loving Maybelline's Volum' Express The Rocket mascara. 

I have a couple of high-end mascaras and I had forgotten how wonderful high street mascaras can be. So I thought I would go for a little wonder in Boots and I found myself standing in front of the Maybelline collection. I picked up this mascara and was drawn to it mainly because of the look of the wand. Also, I loved how in the display they featured a picture of this mascara being used on actual lashes. Normally the images featured in mascara campaigns are not realistic at all and non-achievable (not too sure if that's a word). 

Anyway...

I took this mascara home and wore it to work the next day. I fell in love with it - instantly! It's so easy to use and gets to work as soon as its applied. The 'jet-glide brush' hooks onto every single one of your lashes and evenly spreads the formula in a no-nonsense sort of way. This mascara promises to provide your lashes with up to 8x more volume. Volume is most definitely provided, I'm not sure if it is up to 8x more, but my lashes do look super long and thick with just one coat. And for £5.99, it will not burn a hole in your pocket. 

For my lips, I am loving these two No7 Stay Perfect lipsticks in Grace and Claret (l-r). 

Lipsticks are my weakness - I love nothing more than drenching my pout in colour. I got these two lipsticks with the No7 vouchers, which got me £3 off. There was also an offer of buy one get one half price - which put a smile on my face. 

I naturally gravitate towards lip products of plum and raspberry shades, so I thought it was time to mix it up a bit and add some neutral colours to my collection. I love No7 and these lipsticks are really pigmented and glide onto lips smoothly. Grace is a light brown with a flash of burgundy. It's a very grown up shade and is perfect for when I want a bit of colour on my lips without looking too dramatic. Claret is a gorgeous chocolate brown and I love wearing this at work because it's a very sophisticated shade and doesn't make me feel like I'm wearing a ton of make-up. 

Lovely :)
