Benefit's BADgal eye pencil review

I got this a fair while ago but i have been using it ever since. The packaging is really pretty, with the black lid and bottom and pink pencil. I really like it, normally when i use eyeliner i have to draw a little bit to start the colour coming out fully but with this as soon as you start to apply it the colours comes out. The colour is a really almost charcoaly black, it looks really good with gold eyeshadow! This is a picture of BAD gal eye liner:




I would really recommend this as i have been using it regularly for a couple of months now and it looks as if its been harly touched, although it is quite pricey (£14) i think it is worth it for the amount and quality of the product you get.

MAC Bare Study Paint Pot Review

I have a few MAC products but i have never tried a paint pot before but i'm glad i have now. I love love love the colour, and the staying power is great! Another reason i love this is it can be used as a base/primer to make youre eye eyeshadow stay on longer and with less creases or it can be used as a subtle every day colour. This is a swatch of bare study:






I think the next paint pot i'll be buying will be Rubenesque, becuase i tried this out at the counter and also loved the colour, it's orangey with golden and brown undertones. This would also look great with bare study: bare study all over the lid and rubenesque in the crease.
If you are unsure about investing in a paint pot, i would advise you to take the plunge, have fun!

MAC Zoom Lash Review



I have been using this for a couple of months now on and off, and considering the bad reviews i have heard of MAC mascara it's been good for me. This is an image showing a before and after woth the mascara:





To me this is a good mascara for lengthening because the texture is almost rubbery. It covers well and is very black but is not a volumizing mascara. This is what the tube looks like, and like all MAC product it uses the sleek monochrome theme:


GOSH Holographic 549 Polish Review


I bought GOSH holographic nail polish about a week ago. I've been wanting it for a while but i wasn't sure whether to buy it or not, but when i saw it was on sale (half price) in Superdrug i had to have it!
I really love the colour, its a thin polish with bright silver glitter in it that shines all different colours which i love but it is really hard to get it to coat well. I had to put on three coats to make it look right. After that i put on a top coat and even after that a few hours later it had already started chipping. :(
So, in summary, i would recommend it but only for a night out because of it's poor staying power and very bright colour.
