I bought mine from Asda on a whim whilst buying some chocolate one night for £6 and was so excited to try it out. The packaging of this mascara is honestly lovely. The metallic pink and red really compliment each other well, something to be happy about if your into packaging! The wand is plastic (I usually stay away from plastic wands) but after hearing about the "hooks" on the bristles I thought this may bring something different that I haven't tried yet. As you can see from my photo, there really aren't any noticeable hooks at all which disappointed me. Honestly, it is just another plastic wand that gathers to much product.



When applying it to my eyelashes I knew from the first stroke this was definitely not my favourite mascara, or anywhere close. Due to the amount of product gathered when you put it on your eyelashes absolutely no separation occurs, all of your eyelashes just clump together. In terms of length, my eyelashes where such a clumpy mess I couldn't notice any lengthening that could have possibly redeemed this mascara at all, even when separated with a dry wand my opinion didn't improve. This mascara also (for me) produced no volume.



My eyelashes are naturally short and have no curve to them, so when this claimed it would "push up" my lashes I was hopeful, only to be disappointed. I am guessing all the reviewers I watched on YouTube had naturally beautiful eyelashes to begin with or were sponsored to advertise it, because I was just not getting the same outcome. The consistency and the time it took the mascara to dry absolutely sealed in my mind that I will never re-purchase this mascara, or maybe never actually use it again. I waited around five minutes for my eyelashes to be fully dry, in which time the product smudged and left marks on my upper eyelid.

On my second eye I placed a small amount of a dried out mascara just to separate my eyelashes and then layered the falsies on top, to which it did work slightly better. So I suppose that can count as something.



I am so happy I didn't pay a lot for this mascara or I would be a lot more disappointed than I am right now. In a nut shell, it was clumpy, took a long time to dry and did nothing it said it would really. Therefor it is safe to say that I did not have the pleasant experience others have had and I will stay using my Lash Sensational.




Thanks for reading guys, what where your experience's with this mascara like? Do you have any mascara recommendations I could try out? Leave a comment below!

Hi guys! So I know i'm a bit late to the party, but I got paid a bit more than usual after Christmas (retail perks) so I decided to treat myself to some new MAC products. I'm not usually a high-end makeup person, but after years of complaining about every concealer I owned I thought it's time to bite the bullet and just buy the pro-longwear. It's not that expensive so it wasn't to much of a splurge.
Whilst browsing the MAC website I decided I may as well go for Velvet Teddy whilst i'm already buying something, I have seen so many people wearing it and loved the colour, so why not?



Not going to lie, when the products finally arrived I was less than happy about the size of the concealer. However, after trying it out I now know why its so small. Firstly, the consistency is SO thick. I was so careful with my pumps so I wouldn't waste to much product, a little really does go a long way. I firstly primed my eyes with my Fix and Perfect primer and then applied the concealer with my concealer brush under my eyes in a triangular shape. I then proceeded to blend it out with my beauty blender and was in awe at the coverage. I hadn't applied no colour corrector and my dark circles where almost unrecognisable! I use the colour NC15, I was wondering whether NW would be better for my dark circles in terms of colour correcting but the colour is perfect for my skin tone.
The reason I was so excited to try this concealer was the amount of people who claimed it was "creaseless". At first in the excitement of the moment I definitely thought it was a creaseless concealer sent from the gods, however after wearing it for around half an hour I did notice slight creasing. My eyes are naturally creased and I was expecting a bit much for it to be able to remove them, but the concealer didn't gather inside the creases which I was happy about! All in all the concealer is definitely high/buildable coverage, is very long-wearing and almost-creaseless. As far as first impressions go, I am very happy and unless my opinion changes I will probably be re-purchasing.


Moving onto velvet teddy, I liked it. I'm usually sceptical about matte lipsticks (hense me taking a year to try it out) but its definitely more moisturising than I expected. The colour is a muted brown mixed with pink/red. As with all MAC lipsticks, it didn't stay put all day, or even for a couple of hours and I had to re-apply it, but I was already expecting that to happen. For the price point it's not all that impressive, I still feel like I prefer my cheaper Maybelline and Rimmel lipsticks. The thing that cause this hype was probably the fact the colour is actually rather unique, if I could purchase this exact colour in Maybelline/Rimmel it would probably be a constant favourite! It definitely reminds me of my 2014 fave "Velvet Beige" from Maybelline which I can no longer find in superdrug, so I will definitely wear it out!
