Rituals Perfection Volume Mascara

Hello everyone!

With this/last month's InStyle magazine, buyers were treated to a sample of Rituals' Perfection Volume mascara (3.5ml). Personally, before this I hadn't heard of Rituals but I'm always up for trying something new so decided to give it a try; and I'm happy I did! I love what this mascara does to my lashes, as well as giving them volume they add length. What I love about this mascara is that it enhances what you've already got, while giving you a little more. 

Rituals' mascara has easily become my second favourite mascara (after Maybelline Volum' Express cat eyes, of course) Due to the incredibly rich formula, this mascara provides voluminous and flexible lashes. It retails at £13 which is a lot more than what I usually pay for mascara, but I'm so happy with the results that I'm willing to save up my pennies to purchase the full size (14ml) - and the magazine comes with 20% off all Rituals products!

If you're looking for a new mascara to add volume and length I definitely recommend trying the Rituals range.

I hope you're all well and enjoying your summer xo

Maybe it's Maybelline!

Hello all!
Mascara is a must have item in my makeup bag. I love how it makes my eyes pop, such a small amount makes a big difference. I've gone through many over the years and currently my favourite is Maybelline. So, I'm going to share with you the two that I've fallen in love with and one that I've just started using.

Colossal Volum' Express

This was the first Maybelline mascara I bought and by far my favourite out of the three. I love that it's waterproof that's a must in whatever mascara I buy, you never know what you might come across during the day. I also love the size and shape of the brush, I found it very easy to use against my eyelashes. I've purchased this mascara twice and I will most definitely buy it again. I have semi-long lashes anyway and this mascara accentuates them as well as making them look fuller. After a while it does get a bit clumpy but it's usually around the time you're supposed to change it anway so it's understandable.

Colossal Volum' Express Cat Eyes

My second Maybelline mascara and another favourite. For me, it does what it says on the tin, it gives my eyelashes a cat-like look, while making my lashes look longer. The shape of the wand helps enormously with this and again is very easy to use. Unfortunately, it isn't waterproof but while using it I didn't have any problems with it running. And a plus to that it was very easy to remove.

The Falsies Volum' Express

This is the mascara I'm currently using and I haven't used it that long so this is a two week review. Firstly, it's waterproof which is great. However, I'm not a fan of the shape of the wand, it is similar to that of the cat eyes mascara but it's a lot thicker (that's not shown well in the photo, apologies). Again, I have just started using it but I find it very awkward to use. Maybe with time I'll be able to perfect it and I'll try to update this.
