Kiss USA Blooming Lash

Lashes, they are amazing for making make-up look complete. I, however just can't seem to get on with them. They are irritating to wear and a faff to put on and I always feel like they are going to fall off when I'm out. 

These lashes, however, have changed the game (well for me anyway). After attending a Kiss USA event last week guests were given some samples of the lashes and nails to try and I thought, hey, why not give them a whirl.

Above I have on the Kiss Blooming Lash in Lily and it's love. The Blooming Lashes are supposedly super spesh as they are created with 'multi-angle technology' which basically is a fancy way of saying that they are layered. Said technology does though give them a lovely fluttery look so I decided not to apply mascara to my actual lashes so the look was fresh and natural. The band is so thin I found them easy to apply onto my lashline and they are super light too so after a while I genuinely forgot they were on. 

They are also 100% natural hair, and you can get your hands on them at boots.com 

N.B Shout out to the Zoeva Warm Spectrum Eyeshadow Palette which I used to create this look. 

Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise in Marie Antoinette - Review

I wish you could have all seen me when I got my hands on this piece of Charlotte Tilbury goodness! Luckily I was in the presence of my Beauty Editor so she completely understood why I was so very happy - I think had it been a non beauty addict they would have written me off as a complete loon. 

Anywho the above bad boy is the Charlotte Tilbury Eye to Mesmerise in Marie Antoinette and I love it! The formula is uber creamy and blendable but sets pretty quickly and does not budge or crease - it's a lot more mousse-like than a cream shadow like the M.A.C Paint Pots.

 The below pic is a sheer coat of it that I applied just with my fingers. I prefer applying products with my fingers when first trying them as you get a feel for the texture, however this product definitely creates a more perfected, statement finish when applied and worked in with a blending brush. You really don't need much per use so I'm expecting this to last a while, which is grand because it really is a bit of a splurge.

On a lighter skin tone I imagine this to be a lot more striking, but on my colouring it's quite sheer, a perfect accompaniment to a soft brown liner and lashings of mascara.
