Shocking mascara that shockingly works

Ok so excuse my awful title, I just thought I would quickly throw a blogpost out there on this amazing make up find, so please forgive the "shocking" quality of the photos and my sickly pale face.

So as I'm getting a little older (yes reality is starting to set in that I am not Peter Pan anymore) I am trying to invest in my skincare and beauty regime to avoid and prolong the Botox a little longer. Any how enough of the rambling, I have recently been using these three mascaras; maybelline false lash mascara, benefit they're real and no7 lovely lashes mascara. All good but I have to say the most dissatisfying one was the maybelline; leaving a cakey finish and often flaked off onto the face - never a hot look!

I wasn't really on a hunt at first for a new mascara just yet as I wanted to use all of the above up first but having read an interview on the Olsen twins (my ultimate fave women crushes ever) they shared a few beauty secrets and one was; that they they loved Yves Saint Laurent mascaras. So being a sucker for some good marketing I trotted off to my nearest Debenhams store to get my paws on some. Best investment to date so far!!!

See the results yourself below! Such a difference, it opens my eyes right up and gives such a good definition. I'm not a fan of false lashes as they personally feel really uncomfortable on me but this mascara looks as if I am wearing some which could be seen as a bonus. I admit I was really lazy with this application, usually I curl my lashes with eyelash curlers for more of a dramatic effect and I bet this will look even more incredible when I do next time.

If you've taken the time to read this post, thank you for your time. Please feel free to leave comments on your finds or anything you'd like to know more on or any improvements to the blog.

 Lots of love Chlo xx
