<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well ladies, there is a new mascara in my life - and I love it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Those of you who love Urban Decay will no doubt have heard about their latest must have mascara. As some of you may know, I am an absolute sucker for mascara and I must say, that although I have favourites - ones that I always ALWAYS go back to (YES, I am talking about my old faithful <em>favourite ever</em> Maybelline Rocket Volum' Mascara - surprisingly, I still haven't done a full review of this) - I am still on the look out for other mascaras that will just enhance my life.. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, I was shopping in Debenhams and I stumbled (as you do) upon the Urban Decay counter and their lovely display for the new mascara - 'Perversion'. Who can resist looking into this - honestly. The sleek packaging and sturdy bottle were enough to capture my attention.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The sales assistant was so kind in offering to pop some on for me so that I could 'see' whether I would like it. I already knew, even before application, that ultimately it wasn't going to matter - I would be buying it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The product is a brilliant size and comes with the 'Subversion' primer. A white base coat to prime your lashes and get them ready for becoming 'BIGGER. BLACKER & BADDER'. The way she applied it was definitely not to my taste and if I'm honest, they looked a bit clumpy. There is something about mascara application. I have to be able to do this myself, I find it very satisfying applying and coating the lashes and then comparing this to my clean, un-painted lashes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The wand on this is lovely. Its a brush wand, as opposed to plastic. It gathers just the right amount of product and it isn't so coarse that it hurts the lashes. I know some people with sensitive eyes sometimes feel that certain wands can be a little painful. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When I got home, out came the make up remover and the new mascara and I set about coating my lashes. I applied the primer, followed by the mascara. The product went on beautifully and when applied, it was completely clump free. I should say <em>products</em> - the primer and the mascara are both just lovely. I sometimes find that when I use a primer, it just makes it harder to apply the mascara and makes my lashes more prone to clumping. Luckily this wasn't the case. After application, my lashes looked longer, darker, more defined and they made my eyes stand out without any other eye product! I really loved the effect. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I think that the marketing is spot on. This product with 'perversion' and 'subversion' is out just as the hype about <em>50 Shades of Grey</em> is upon the world again and ladies everywhere are getting excited about the series and the trailer that was released for the film. This was such a big thing, that I am guessing so many companies will be jumping on the band wagon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">All in all, I love this and I would definitely recommend. To be honest, I think this is the perfect 'date night' or 'girls night' mascara. I know that's very specific, but the end result felt a little too bold for work really. I know that pictures really help make decisions, but I am not one for including personal shots on here, I never feel that a camera captures eye make up well either. So I will leave you with my review as written. A definite for anyone looking for a new mascara and definitely a product worth spending money on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you want to pick it up, it's available </span><a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123932035099_-1" target="_blank"><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">here</span></a><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> for just £17.00. And Debenhams are offering a sample of the mascara when you order too. Perfect! Apparently, the primer is only being sold with the product for a limited time, so grab it whilst you can.</span></div>

The more products I use, the angrier my skin gets and suddenly it's more prone to outbreaks and sensitivity. Not good for me and certainly not pretty.</span></div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser is a cult beauty product that I have heard so much about, but it wasn't until I received this as a gift in a little taster set last year that I thought about actually trying it. At the time, I was totally in love with my new Michael Todd products - alas, this didn't work out for long and my skin was just so sad and kept breaking out. I stopped using everything I was at the time and my skin calmed down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I decided to give the 'Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser a go and you know what - it's been about 4-5 months now and I am not looking back. I absolutely love it! I cannot remember the last time I loved a skincare product so much. This product is so gentle - just perfect. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>

<span style="color: #45818e;">Happy Skin</span> </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For those of you who don't know or haven't tried this, the Hot Cloth Cleanser is a cream based cleanser and it is said to 'quickly removes daily
grime and make up to leave skin clean, soft and radiant'. I have been using this every evening to cleanse my skin. It's also a plant based cleanser, so no nasty chemicals to dry out the skin like some cleansers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A pump of this is more than enough - occasionally, I will go for an extra one if I feel my skin is that little more 'unclean' (Eww). The active ingredients include eucalyptus and cocoa butter, so the scent and texture of the cream is just lovely.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">How to:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You simply apply this to dry skin and massage it gently all over the face. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Once this is all massaged in, you soak the muslin cloth in warm water and buff the cream away. This cleanses the skin and removes all of the make up and grime from your skin and leaves it feeling silky smooth. To the point where I like to sit and stroke my face! I cant resist soft skin!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So simple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
I know that I love this as initially, I used one of the little mini sized tubes that I received in my gift bag, that was super cute and lasted me an extraordinarily long time. I've since had another miniature and I am now on my 2nd full size tube. I picked up my most recent bottle of this from John Lewis - again - more cloths!! I now have about 7 or 8 of them, which is always a good thing! It's definitely safe to say that I am hooked and I love this. It's my bathroom staple now and I just know that my skin would be sad without it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I would definitely recommend this. Have you tried it? Let me know what you think!</span></div>

I am in the final throws of finishing my training for my chosen career - and to be honest, the hours are long and the work-life balance is hard to manage. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The one good thing is that I absolutely LOVE my job! The work that I do every day is thoroughly rewarding and most days I leave work and I'm proud of something that I have done that day. For that reason, I know I'm in the right profession and I know that I'm meant to do this! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My blog was my break from work. At the moment, as I have said - I really don't get time to focus on this and nurture this. Although, this is something that, when I set this up last summer, I loved. This blog was a way to channel my long standing love of all things make up and beauty. And today, as I logged in to see whether my blog was still ok without me, I have noticed that people are still viewing my posts. Despite the unfinished christmas posts and despite my absense of 4 months. That makes me happy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am glad that some people still read and refer to my blog and I do intend to recommence my blogging - especially when I have so many amazing products that I want to share my views on. For now, I'm just touching base, but soon I will be back to blogging when I have particular products I want to share! </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">I am really intrigued by this product. It's super cute and is such a lovely shade of pink - Benefit describe this as a 'poppy pink' stain. I haven't tried any pink stains before, only ever red ones. I haven't tried this out yet, but I'm hoping it will leave a cute pink sheen. I think this will definitely be lovely for a lip stain!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The full size version of this is 12.5 g and retails at £24.50. This is a very mini version of the product. I'm excited to try this! Purchase price would be £4.90. I think that these tints are quite expensive really and as I think I mentioned before, if rather spend money on a good blush and a good lip stick or gloss, than get something I didn't love for this price. If it is good however, combining the two is of course a fab idea. We will see.</span></div>

I was a little confused when I first opened it as I was mistaking the BadGal Lash Mascara for the 'They're Real'. I would have loved to have seen a sample of this in today's window. The coverage is good, I found that it applied evenly and did give a good colour to the lashes. It did require a few coats before it really helped keep a shape and looked enough.

Some people like to have a long pencil to apply eyeliner with, but because I am only small and have small hands, I have much more control with a smaller pencil. This one is super cute and is 'extra black' so the colour is fab. So far, I like it - there isn't all that much to be said about an 'extra black' pencil eyeliner really.. It's good, no dragging along the skin, which is a definite plus. I haven't tested its waterproof-ness yet.</div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The full size version of this is 1.2 g and retails at £15.00. This is just under the size of the full price product. I really like it. Purchase price would be £6.25. I think that this price is pretty expensive for a pencil - I like the Avon Super Shock eyeliner which is one of my faves and that's £6.00 and Avon frequently have 1/2 price offers, so I think I would probably stick to this - I rarely repurchase pencil eyeliner - they last so long. </span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> I really like this! </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The colour of this is marketed as 'bubblegum pink'. I would say it's more of a pale pink, it's quite subtle and leaves a gentle colour with lovely soft texture.</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> It feels super silky and glides on. It's lovely. I love the packaging of this too - it's super cute and it fits in perfectly with the Benefit range as a whole - they market and package their brand so well. </span><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font>

So, I am spending a little more time this month really trying to work out what the problems are and trying to care for my skin appropriately.</span></div>

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Pamper days and spending time caring for my skin is one of the most relaxing things and most weekends, I can be found covered in some form of face mask, painting my nails and surrounded by sweets (and on occasion, work or blogging - depending on how busy my week has been). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have tried a fair few masks, but my most recent venture has been fruitful and I now have a new face mask love. I picked up quite a few different ones, an Origins facemask, Mudd facemask and a Boots own brand face mask. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I wanted something that would help clear my pores. I actually went back and picked up the tube the day after, as I wanted this on hand for my next face mask day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have used this a couple of times now and I wanted to rave about this and share my love of the product.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Packaging</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The individually packaged product is quite hard to get out of the packaging. It's not impossible by any stretch and it didn't affect the use of the product, but I am not a huge fan of this type of sachet. As you can see in the photograph, you basically tear off the top of the packaging and scoop the product out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The tube is much simpler and less messy for application and I think, that from now on, I will purchase the tube. Even if I wanted to take it anywhere, it's the same size as a small hand cream (such as my no. 1 favourite Soap and Glory Hand Food) and this wouldn't be in the way wherever </span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I stored it. Handbag, toiletry bag - wherever.</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Product</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The product itself is clear and quite thick and gel like. When you begin to rub this into your skin, it does feel sticky. I think that this is similar to most products however, you tend to get creamy or gel like face masks, because they work the best. I definitely wouldn't discount the product because of this. It's easy to smooth over the face and it covers well. I feel like this really does stick well to the skin and I do think that this enhances the functionality, so I am happy with this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The smell is pleasant. I like tea tree and I like witch hazel - both are products that are good for blemish prone skin and more recently, my skin has been a complete nightmare, so I am more than happy to have both tea tree and witch hazel back in my skin care routine. I would suggest trying this, even if you aren't a huge fan of the smell of these products, they're good for the skin and I think that the mask being so effective is worth overlooking the smell (apologies if you disagree!).</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Application</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I applied the entire contents of the individual sachet and with the tube, the second time I used the mask, I just applied until my face was evenly covered. I don't think that I used quite as much as I did the first time. This didn't affect the result, so no problem for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia;">One good thing about the tube is that you aren't obliged to use the entire contents and therefore, if you have some specific areas that you would like to target, you can just apply to those areas. For example, nose, forehead, chin.. areas that are most problematic for the majority of us, with spots/blackheads and clogged pores. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The instructions don't direct whether the application is to a wet or dry face, so I have tried it with both - just in case one way was more effective. I have found both ways to be the same and both had great results.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The mask stays on for 10-15 minutes, but I have found that a little longer is needed for the mask to dry fully - especially when you wet the face first. (Obviously drying time is reduced significantly when you apply to a dry face!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The mask tightens and dries. I have found that patting my forefinger over my face to check that my face is dry all over is the best way, it's hard to tell from appearance, as it's clear, there's no marked difference in the way that it looks on the skin. From my experience, my face just went very shiny and glossy.</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Removal</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have found that the mask has pealed off really well both times. It's come off in one clean sweep too. I know that some other reviews of the product that I have read since purchasing, have stated that the mask didn't come off fully in places. I haven't had any problems at all so far. Once I have removed the mask, I rinse my face to make sure all the mask is off. My skin has literally felt super soft and silky after removal. I have felt that my skin has been completely cleansed and I have noticed a reduction in blackhead, even just over two uses.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As yukky as it is, because you are pealing this off, it's a little like a nose strip, in that you can see any dirt or grime that has come off your face. Although that is disgusting - it's also a little bit satisfying, knowing that your face is extra clean.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I would definitely recommend and I will most certainly be continuing to use this within my skin care routine, to ensure that my skin is super soft and fully cleansed. I will be doing my best to make sure that my skin starts December, in a much better condition. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Have you tried this product? Love/Hate?</span></div>

<br />
YES! Christmas is only 49 days away!!!!<br />
<br />
The most exciting things for most Beauty Bloggers has been the Beauty Advent calendars. You will all know that the Beauty Advent Calendars are selling like hot cakes, with so many varieties, blogs are going to be filled with lots of miniature goodies throughout December. <br />
<br />
This year, I have got my hands on the <em>Benefit 'Countdown to Love' Advent Calendar</em> this year. I am literally so excited.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
As you all may know, this calendar went on sale for 1 day (Saturday 2 November) and most stores stocking this, required you to reserve this. I popped along to my local Debenhams at the Trafford Centre and I picked up my reserved calendar. I also got a little make over by one of the Benefit Sales Advisors using the wonderful benefit products.<br />
<br />
I have always loved Benefit, however, I have never actually purchased any of their products and it is for this reason, that I decided to get this calendar. This will be a fantastic chance to try all of the sample sizes of the products that I have read about and tested to death.<br />
<br />
So watch out for my future reviews on the products. I am sure that some of the products will eventually lead to repurchases. I cant wait for December 1st..<br />
<br />
Have any of you lovelies got your hands on the calendar?<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As you all will know, if you have read my other posts - I LOVE mascara - an obsession initially started as a result of my lovely friend Suzy.. (not all her fault however.. haha). This was at a time when Bourjois was on offer, for the introductory price of £6.99 and I therefore treated myself and justified the purchase this way. I am always too ready to justify make up purchases with absurd excuses! Typical woman - typical make up addict - ha!</span><a name='more'></a><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Packaging</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, this mascara does look strange - basically, there are 2 styles of wand in one. The wand is changed by twisting the white tip - producing two separate looks.</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></div>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Short thicker wand (2) - well coated and volumised lashes.</span></div>
</li>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></div>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The functioning of the packaging is handy and I think that the packaging is very sleek. It's monochrome and well, I just like it. The handle of the wand it thicker than some other mascara tubes, but I really like this one, it's comfortable to hold and you can manoeuvre this easily to get a good application.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The wand can be changed in or out of the tube, there's no issue with that.</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Everything else..</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now, those of you who have read my previous posts, will know that I prefer volumising lashes - I like my lashes to look longer and thicker and be visible. Saying that, I don't like eyelashes that weight 2lbs extra because they are coated and matted together.. I don't think that's my look.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have tried both ways and I applied this to my eyes, one with wand (1) and one with wand (2). This is just me, but I didn't notice any massive difference. I think that the product is applied much more thicker with the wand (2), but there is still no clumping - no issue of 'short' looking lashes or any other troublesome issues.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That being said, my one gripe with wand (1) is that it's very hard to apply to the bottom lashes, because the wand is quite long at around 3ish cm - (the whole width of my eye) and I just don't feel that it gives a particularly precise coverage. Wand (2) reduces by about 1cm in length when twisted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The product is good. I do like it and I am sure that there are many that love it. I do use this a couple of times a week. However, t</span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">hat being said, it's not my favourite mascara. I don't think that I would repurchase as this offers nothing extra, that my other mascaras can offer. I continually go back to my </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-The-Rocket-Volum-Express-Mascara_1293966/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Rocket Volum' by Maybelline</span></a><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">, which is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE!

(*runs around doing birthday dance*)</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Despite this, I had to share my new nail varnish love.. I have a new Rimmel 'SPACE DUST' nail varnish in my already huge nail collection and it is my absolute new favourite nail varnish of the moment. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">N.B. I must say, the only reason that I bought this on the day that I did, was because I was purchasing my new favourite lipstick - one of the Rimmel Moisture Drench family - and I wanted to spend £10 to get the lovely mascara for free. I love Rimmel Mascaras at the best of times and I am a mascara junkie - that's obvious from my picture of all of my mascaras that I posted on Twitter. I must have around 30 now.</span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Anyway.. Back to this wonderful nail varnish...</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I most definitely would have purchased eventually.. It is amazing. At the moment, as you can see from the photographs, I am using this solely on my ring fingers.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

I had to use a photograph with the flash (a little blurry - sorry about that!) to try and show you the amazing shimmer and deep purple. I think it's my new favourite and it goes perfectly with the lovely Seventeen 'Woo Me' almost grape purple (I have had this forever - so not sure whether this is still available) that I have on my other nails. A match made in nail heaven for me this week.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Very happy. Well done Rimmel - I will definitely be having a look at the other Space Dust collection. I picked this up from Boots (of course..) for £3.99.</span><br />
