How to: Long and voluminous lashes!

So, a lovely little old lady asked me whether my eyelashes were real today.

I love sharing my tips on creating longer looking lashes so thought I'd show you what they looked like today (after a ten hour shift at work, so forgive my lack of concealer and red eyes) and tell you what products I used.

I first curled my lashes with an eyelash curler. The one I used is by Shu Uemura and I highly recommend it.

I then apply a generous layer of Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof mascara in Very Black (Available HERE). I use this to keep my lashes curled, otherwise within a couple of minutes they droop back down and become poker straight again. This is the only mascara I've found that keeps my lashes curled all day.

After waiting a minute or two for this coat to dry I used Bourjois Coupe De Theatre (Available HERE) which has micro fibres that attach to your lashes to give ultimate length.

Again, after a minute or two I then applied a generous coat of Benefit Bad Gal Lash in Black (Available HERE) 

And that's it!

I love getting unexpected compliments on my makeup, especially when I don't think I've put that much effort in!

Hope this helps some of you who are looking for new mascaras, I really recommend all three together.

Squiggly!

Went to the park with the other half yesterday for a bike ride and to feed the Squirrels :)

Here we are messing about on each other's bikes.

The Cambridge Satchel Company

Me today:

Why?

LOOK WHAT ARRIVED!!!

Eeeeee! My Cambridge Satchel came, finally!

I ordered from the official website on the 1st April and it was delivered today, 3rd May. The website make it known that orders can take up to 30 days as they are made to order. Bare this in mind if you are buying for a gift or for a special occasion. I have ordered twice now from this website and both have taken just over 30 days from ordering to being delivered to my door.

So worth the wait though.

Look how beautiful she is...

This is the 14" Yellow Classic Satchel.

This is the size comparison between the 11" Classic Satchel in black, and the 14" Classic Satchel in yellow.

The 11 inch satchel is very small and is suitable only for essentials such as a small purse, your phone, a lippy and keys. The 14 inch satchel is much more roomy and can fit A4 paper, all your essentials and still has room for other bits and bobs.

Can't wait to use it! Might have to take it to work tomorrow, yay!

Zara shoe haul!

Just ordered some UGHHHMAAAZING shoes from Zara.

Shouldn't have, but sold some stuff on ebay recently so that's excuse enough for me!

One pair, not so practical.

 

And one pair that I'm more likely to be able to walk in.

 

Hurray!!!

Models Own Blooboo with gems!

Not getting up today...

Going to chill with the kitties and test out my new nailvarnish! :)

Boo :(

So I was meant to go to the piercers to get my circular ball closure rings in my ear changed to straight barbells so they looked a lot less clunky, but the bloody bars that were ordered in ended up being too short! So annoyed. Now I have to wait till next week and my ear hurts now because of the unnecessary faffing. :(

O.O.T.D - I hate birthdays!

Hi guys! O.O.T.D again...casual and comfy...AGAIN!

Just headed out to find birthday presents today, very little to no luck at all!

Anyway, made an appointment with the piercer tomorrow to get my inner helix CBR (rings) changed to barbells (studs). Yay! Can't wait for that as my ear just looks clunky with these big ol' rings in them.

I have my new shirt on that I got from Topshop sale.

Basic drop arm hole tank top from New Look.

Baxter skinny jeans from Topshop.

Bag, as ever, is the Rocco by Alexander Wang.

I whacked out the Acne Pistols today, hurt the balls of my foot slightly as I've been walking in flats for months on end. Not too uncomfortable though!

Watch is by Michael Kors and is in the Rose Gold colour.

Same old bracelets that you've seen a million times.

Pandora double wrap leather bracelet with Buddha charm and Links of London Skull friendship bracelet.

I have on my Ray Ban Clubmasters which I was going to send back but it was too late out of the refund time so I'm just going to wear them for a bit and perhaps sell on. Not quite decided on them yet!

Minimal makeup, I'm just wearing Number 17 Beehive lipstick on my lips.

See you tomorrow with an update!
