BarryM ShowGirl Extra Lengthening Mascara Review

Recently I purchased this mascara from ASOS for £3.40 as it was on offer (amazing price I know). I had low expectations when I ordered it as I haven't had experience with any of the Barry M products except from two of their nail polishes (rose hip and sugar apple) which I didn't really like.But when the mascara did arrive I was shocked,Its amazing.If this is what is to come for Barry M in the future then i'm defiantly going to be buying some more of their makeup.

My first impressions of the mascara where how it felt so premium and not like a £3.40 mascara,it felt high end and classy. This is something that I would never expect from Barry M, I guess you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.


The formulation of the mascara is creamy but yet not to sticky nor thick and it does not smudge under your eyes after a long day. The wand is plastic which I normally don't  like,but I found this really easy to use and the bristles really coat the smallest of lashes giving them volume,definition  and length without clumpyness.
Barry M also realeased another mascara to accompany this and your are meant to use these both together to give amazing results,however I have read some reviews online and apparently both of the mascaras have the same formula just different wands. If you would like more information on that mascara click  Here.

I really love using this mascara and I think I will be using it for a long time.Like I said im not one for rampaging the Barry M stalls and I never really took much interest in the brand but after using mascara I am pleasantly surprised.And I would recommend checking out Barry M in the future,because I know I will be!.

Thanks for reading

Best Lip Products


I think we have all experienced:dry,chapped lips that are so sore,especially in the winter months.And as the winter weather rapidly approaches I thought I would give you the heads up on all the best lip care products,so that your prepared. 

1.Classic Carmex Lip Pot-£2.69.This is super moisturizing and you can defiantly feel it working once you have applied it.I only started using this about six months ago and I have defiantly seen a difference in my lips,as they used to be dry and somewhat sore.However I do find that I haft to keep on applying the product to get a good result,But over all a great product.Affordable too!

2.Blistex Intensive Moisturiser-£2.63.This is defiantly for someone who has very severe dry,cracked lips as it is intensively moistursing and maybe a little to over powering for everyday use.But it really does give fantastic results!.Its small too so perfect for on the go.

3.Chapstick-£1.15. Ah the good old chapstick. I love this balm it looks so pretty on the lips as it pale red.It also smells amazing! (strawberries and cream).I think this is good for daily use and for mildly chapped lips but I don't think its going to be very beneficial for those with severely dry chapped flaky lips as it is not very mousturising or nourishing.  

4. Maybeline Baby Lips Mint-£2.99.I love this product its really refreshing as its mint and its also in stick form so its super easy to apply.The formula isn't  slimy and it leaves a nice shine on the lips once applied.Its quite moistruising but again I think it would only benefit those with mild chapping/dryness etc.  

5,Vaseline Rose-£2.18.When I first purchased this I was really enjoying it  but then after the first week or so I got bored of it and really started to dislike it.I started to dislike how greasy it was and how slimy and noticeable it looked on the lips.However it does do great things for lips,I wouldn't say its better that the four other products that I have listed above but it is still good.Very cute packaging too.

Thanks for reading.
Comment any products that I have not mentioned,that are good too,I would love to know.

Autumn/Winter Fashion


Hello Everyone.

I love autumn/winter their is something so satisfying about wearing a new coat or just being all cosy and worm in hats and scarves;and seeing all the new autumnal clothes flock into shops.
So today I thought i would share with you my favorite Autumn/Winter outfits/pieces. I've selected these mostly from shops on the high street or from the odd online shop.

This is my first favorite outfit,I found it on my friend Libbies,blog and instantly feel in love with it.
My favorite piece of this outfit is the burgundy navy blue checked blazer.I think this is a perfect jacket for autumn winter as its the perfect color and its also looks smart but its still casual.For more details about Libbies outfit click Here.

2nd outfit-I saw this in one of Gabriella Lindley vlogs and I really liked the style of it.
I have been looking for a cape since I saw Cara Delevinge sporting a blanket wrap at the AW2014 Burberry show.
The cape is from Zara at a price of £90 and the jeans are from H&M at £8 but you can pretty much find them anywhere.I love the cape as I think its so different-inside the hood there is emerald green faux fur WOW.It just makes a change to the usual trend of red and mustard at this time of year.

I spotted my third and final outfit whilst I was online shopping on the Urban Outfitters site.
This look could easily be worn during the day and to a casual evening event.The skirt is £18 but unfortunately i don't know the price of the top and the shoes as,only the skirt was on sale but I'm defiantly going to hunt it down and purchase the whole outfit.

I hope you have enjoyed this blog post,comment what your favorite autumn outfit is.

Thank you for reading
