Scandaleyes Mascaras

Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascaras both retail for £6.99 each.
 Today I'll be giving you a comparison between the 2 Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascaras that I own. There are another 2 mascaras in the collection (Show off, Retro Glam) but I don't own these. I bought the original mascara (the orange one) around a year ago and the Lycra Flex about 2 weeks ago. These mascaras have un-fault-able staying power and volumise your eyelashes for a whole day without budging! Personally I like the Lycra Flex mascara more as I feel that it runs through the lashes better and it is a smoother formula. I'm not saying that the original is clumpy, but it feels heavier on the lashes in comparison to Lycra Flex. Both products are definitely worth the hype, and in my opinion are certainly up there in the best drugstore mascaras in retail.

Which is your favourite drugstore mascara?

Sleek Haul

Blush by 3 in Pumpkin £9.99
Face Form in Light £9.99
i-Divine in Oh so Special £7.99
I am so happy that I finally got my hands on my first ever Sleek products. I have been craving the face form palette for quite some time now and I have now got it in my collection. After watching numerous Youtube reviews on the company there were a couple of products that I was urging to buy. These included the 3 products shown above. I've seen the Blush by 3 before when I was wandering through Superdrug and Pumpkin caught my eye due to the surprising neon orange shade! I immediately wanted it! Today when I saw that Superdrug was currently offering 3 for 2 mix and match I ran to the Sleek counter. Fortunately they had Face Form and Blush by 3 Pumpkin in store so I was allowed a third free! I have heard only good things about the Sleek Eyeshadow Palettes so I decided to purchase the most wearable one. My friend Cesca over at Nails by Moi owns the Au Naturel palette which contains mostly matte brown shades. I personally wanted  a palette with a greater range of finishes which could be worn on numerous occasions. After skimming through each and every palette they sell (a lengthy process I know), I decided to buy the Oh so Special palette. This palette contains shades from brown through to pinks and golds. I will do separate reviews on each product soon.

Which Sleek product is your favourite?

All-Nighter Designs

As you can see, I have a new design thanks to Ellie over at All-Nighter Designs! She is so easy to work with and had made my blog look exactly how I wanted it! If you too want a FREE, yes I said FREE, custom designed theme then go onto the site below and follow the simple instructions. I requested a design last night, myself and Ellie have been emailing all night, and now it is fully installed! I guess that's why her brand name is All-Nighter as she must have been up all night designing! Oh, and she installs it onto your blog which is great as I am completely clueless with HTML and all that jazz.

Cutex Nail Polish Remover

Cutex Moisture Guard Nail Polish Remover retails for £1.62 in Superdrug.
After using multiple nail polish removers over the years, I have found my favourite. I have tried brands such as Tesco and Superdrug but nothing seems to compare to this affordable remover that does the job perfectly. The bottle claims to boost the moisture content in your nails and effectively whiten them, I cannot comment on whether it improves the moisture levels in your nails as I don't suffer from having dry nails. I do believe that it has slightly whitened the tips of my nails, but I can't compare this to their usual state as I cut them recently, sorry! I find that you only need to use 2-3 'tips' of the liquid onto a cotton round to remove polish from most of your nails. This is pretty decent judging by the fact that my Superdrug remover required at least 6 'tips' to remove all of my polish, quite disappointing really. I'd definitely reccommend this remover as it is so cheap and is a lot better and effective than the leading polish removers.

Halloween - Pleasurewood Chills

 The first themed post for the British Blogger Selection is 'Halloween'. This year on Halloween I was lucky enough to be invited to Pleasurewood Hills on their Chills Celebration day. The day showcased 3 main horror mazes, none of which I actually went on because I'm a scaredy cat. Although, I did go on the kiddy ride in which many hilarious videos were taken displaying my fear. You can see below what I was wearing during the day...
My jumper and denim shirt are both from H&M. The jumper is £14.99, and the shirt was in the sale for £7 but I believe it would be around £10 on retail. The jumper is actually in a size medium yet it is still short in the arms, I presume that it is meant to be this style as the fit of the jumper is perfect otherwise. I am wearing Sinful Colours Black on Black on my nails layered with an H&M matte top coat (how Halloween fitting of me). I just noticed that you can see the Grim Reaper wandering around in the back of my photo, 10 points if you can spot him (it's like where's wally!!).
Oh how much I love sky lifts. This is what I did on Halloween, what did you do? Don't forget to sign up to the British Blogger Selection, see details in my previous post.
