Soap and Glory Thick & Fast High-Definition Collagen-coat Mascara

       

Within the past year, I've started wearing individual eye lashes and as you might know, the glue used is a lot stronger than strip lash glue as the individual lashes stay on longer. They look amazing and I don't want stop wearing them but they are such a pain to remove. When I've been taking my individual lashes off, unfortunately my natural eye lashes have been coming with them. Unfortunately, my natural eye lashes are very thin. So now I am looking for a good mascara that lengthens and thickens my eye lashes. I've tried the normal Soap and Glory 'Thick & Fast' mascara previously and I thought it was quite good, so when I saw this 'High-Definition Collagen-Coat' version, I just had to try it.

Soap and Glory state that the mascara gives you "length, definition and drama". So does it do what it says on the tin? I wouldn't say so. It definitely gave my eye lashes length, but as for definition and drama, I'm not sure. It doesn't separate the lashes, it makes them stick together more making me look like I've got less eye lashes than I have, spider legs come to mind and I'm not a fan of that. I applied it again after using a base coat of Benefit Badgal Lash  and it looked better. I wouldn't use this product on its own, but would team it with other mascaras. It is a good mascara, lasts well and feels natural but I'm not sure if I'd repurchase this again as I have tried other mascaras that are better for what I want.

My MAC Lipstick Collection

Hi there! I've been neglecting my blog a bit recently due to personal reasons. I'm sorry blog but I'm back with a lot of posts lined up! Starting with showing you all my MAC lipstick collection. I have four MAC lipsticks currently but it has become a ritual to splurge in the Selfridges MAC store whenever I come into a bit of money. I've never really had a lot of high end make up brands before, I pretty much only buy 'drugstore' make up. Then I discovered youtube beauty guru's like PixiWoo and Tanya Burr a few years back and that is where my lust for high end make up began. I have a few other high end products and I'm hoping to expand my collection, but that is a whole other story. I suffer from dry lips at the best of times and majority of lipsticks I have tried in the past have dried out my lips even more and at an alarming rate. But MAC lipsticks are so conditioning and they feel amazing, even their matte lipsticks condition my lips. They don't feel heavy on your lips and they are so comfortable to wear. They also smell amazing, some of them reminding me of chocolate when I wear them. The colours are incredible, so pigmented and long lasting, especially the reds. I can put 'Russian Red' on in the morning and I will only have to apply it again once through out the day and even then, it's a top up application. There are so many shades I'm lusting after at the moment, I think I would bankrupt myself if I followed my urges to buy them all. One day I will have the shades I lust after, one lipstick at a time. 

L-R: Rebel (Satin), Dark Side (Amplified), Speed Dial (Cremesheen) and Russian Red (Matte)

 

                                                      Rebel (Satin): A beautiful deep fuchsia pink

Dark Side (Amplified): A deep vampy red.

The picture really doesn't do this colour justice, it's stunning.

Speed Dial (Cremesheen): A subtle barbie pink with a touch of shimmer.

Russian Red (Matte): Classic red; think Marilyn Monroe; 50s style.
