REAL TECHNIQUES CORE COLLECTION REVIEW



The thing I love about these brushes that they are synthetic taklon bristles, dense and they do not shed hair. They don't bleed any colour when you clean them. Most important thing for me when buying brushes is the shedding hair and how they blend on my skin. Another great thing is that they are super soft on my skin, I love it!

I like the idea that these can stand up, so I can stand them on my dressing table and looks pretty or I put them in my makeup pot and they stand up perfectly!

When using the brushes, they put the makeup on so effortlessly and flawless! I like the how fabulous they are and most the brushes are multitasking too! If you want to achieve a PRO finish without being an expert, these are the brushes you need!

YSL BABY DOLL MASCARA REVIEW

I am a really big fan of YSL, every product I have bought from YSL as been really good and just done exactly what I want it to do. You can't really fault YSL to be honest since the price of the products, they are not allowed to fault haha! Something that always attracts me to YSL is probably the gold packaging  its so beautiful and eye catching that i find it hard to leave the counter without at least something small.

Todays buy was the YSL 'Baby Doll' Mascara (£24.50) I actually went looking for this product mostly because the beautiful Cara Delevigne makes it very hard for you not to want it in her wonderful champagne for it.



Cara looks stunning as always but her lashes look so good here, at first i thought she got her makeup done professionally i doubt mine would look that way but when i tried it out at the counter they did!





The packaging is absolutely gorgeous, if you know me you know i love anything gold; especially when it comes to makeup packaging. I love the simplicity and luxury look it has. What really stood out for me is the hot pink writing on it, it just looks so perfect with the gold and i just died when i saw it.
Now enough about the packaging and lets move on to the actual product.





The applicator wand is plastic which is usually what i like to go for as they're more firm and steady compared to a brush wand and helps you apply the content a lot more precisely and stops your lashes clumping together. I wouldn't use this mascara on a night out because i dont think that its dramatic enough when applied, this is going to be my go to mascara for the day time.
I know this is very weird to say about a mascara but strangely i really like the smell, its hard to actually explain what it smells like but next time you're at a YSL just give it a quick smell and im sure you will understand.
