Smooch Cosmetics Week - Black Lash Mascara black lash mascara | cosmetics | eyes | lashes | mascara | review | smooch

Hey beauties, 

This week is Smooch week. 

I was very, very kindly sent a bundle of products to try, so I figured I would dedicate a week to reviewing said products. 

I have given them a good test and I feel this week may come in handy, if you do ever fancy purchasing a few new items.

Black Lash Mascara* is Smooch Cosmetics only mascara. 

The packaging is the usual matte black and lace detailing. Personally, I like the simplicity of it. 

The brush is pretty big, but grabs onto the lashes really well. Other than that, it's quite a standard brush. 

The mascara itself is pretty wet, but not too wet that it doesn't apply evenly. 

I find this mascara works best after curling the lashes. The mascara doesn't give much curl, but goes create a good amount of volume and length. 

This is a great every day mascara, and makes a  whip on and go product, if you don't want to fuss with anything else. 

One last point I'd like to make, is this mascara is easily removed. I don't know about you guys, but I hate having to battle with my mascara every night. 

For £8.95 this is a great affordable mascara. You can find it over on the Smooch Cosmetics website.

A competitor for Benefit's They're Real? Maybe! 

If you read my recent post about the Benefit event that I attended on Saturday evening, you will already know that I left, craving to buy They're Real. I hadn't tried it until that night and I fell in love. 

The only thing that was putting me off, was the price tag.

February and March seem to be my most expensive months, with a ton of family and friends birthdays, so I was on the look out for something a little cheaper. 

I had seen adverts for this new mascara from Maybelline for a couple of weeks, and I even had to stop myself from buying a few days back. But, luckily I have a very nice mummy and she knew how much of a pants weekend I'd had, so she sent me my birthday money early so I could treat myself. 

I picked up the non waterproof version of this mascara in Black. I tend to cry a lot (yup, I'm an over emotional goose,) meaning waterproof or not, my eyes always run. 

I have been totally blown away by this product. The photos you see below are the result of only one coat of mascara, with no curling prior to application!
It is incredible! 

The plastic brush has what I can only describe as tiny 'brissles' in comparison to what I'm used to. I feel that it still picks up plenty of product and distributes it evenly, whilst curling your lashes and giving you tons of volume.

I found it stayed well on my lashes and was easy to remove when it came to the end of the day.

I may have only used this a couple of times so far, but I think I can already say that this is going to be a favourite for the month of February. 

You can currently purchase the new Rocket Volum' Mascara from Boots for only £5.99.
