Review: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler.





Up until recently I never even used eyelash curlers. I'm quite happy with the length of my eyelashes, I just apply a bit of mascara and that's it.
However, there's a lot of hype surrounding Shu Uemura eyelash curlers, so I purchased them recently to see what all the fuss is about.

Since I got them, I've not stopped using them. I've tried eyelash curlers in the past, I have a No. 7 pair but I just thought it was a step that wasn't really necessary and didn't make much of a difference. I instantly noticed my eyelashes looking so much fuller and curled after one use with my new Shu Uemura pair. My eyes looked really wide and open, and I've had so many compliments recently.
I do find the curl lasts all day, as it's set with mascara.

I know the price is a bit extreme, £20 for an eyelash curler and one replacement silicone refill. It's the reason I hadn't purchased them earlier, and although I did pay £14 for them this time, I would absolutely repurchase at full price.

Have you tried Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers?

Violent Lips Photoshoot.





I recently took part in a photoshoot to launch Violent Lips, the temporary lip tattoos seen on Jessie J and Kim Kardashian, into Boots. I chose a gorgeous red glitter set, named Red Glitteratti.
I love the idea of these, they look great on and are an easy way to add something to complete a look.
I think they do take a little bit of patience to put on, but I guess it's a bit like putting on fake eyelashes - you get better with practice.

The photoshoot was a great day, although I'm definitely more at ease taking my own photos!

What do you think of Violent Lips?

Mulberry Oversized Taylor.





As you know, I've been after a Mulberry for some time now. I chose the Oversized Taylor as I love a big bag, and I couldn't be happier.
