Covergirl Exact Eyelights Mascara in Black Ruby

Hey Everyone,

today’s post is a review of Covergirls Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Mascara that comes in four different colours to enhances the colour of your eyes.

-Black Ruby  for Green Eyes

-Black Gold for Hazel Eyes

-Black Pearl for Brown Eyes

-and Black Sapphire for Blue Eyes

 Unfortunately we don’t have Covergirl here in Ireland, but like the previous product I reviewed a friend picked it up in the US for me a few months ago. I had previously tried this product in Ruby Gold (for hazel eyes) however in the summer months my eyes are more green, so I decided to give this one a whirl.

This mascara works as within the product are little speckles of colour which act as a counter balance to make your eyes appear brighter and enhance the colour (in this instance green). Of course this is only going to have the desired effect if you already have for example green in your eyes. For Instance If I wore the Exact Eyelights for blue eyes my eyes are not suddenly going to appear blue.

Covergirl states that this mascara has a “patented No Clump brush technology” which I would have to agree with, having said that the formulation in my opinion doesn't really do anything... so if your looking for volume or lengthening this probably isn't for you. I usually apply my mascara of choice first to add length, then apply the Exact Eyelights on top. The formulation doesn't really bother be because that’s not what I brought this for, I wanted this because I honestly do think it brings out the green in my eyes.

This particular colour (Black Ruby) I had not tried before but I have found that it does differ from the gold. Whereas the gold was a black mascara with particles of gold within it, this ruby is more of a deep brown ruby colour.

Overall I still like this product for what it does to my eyes it definitely enhances the colour, and I still might re purchase in the future even though the formulation isn't what I would usually go for in a mascara!

Have you tried any Covergirl mascara's?

30 Before 30- Places and Countries to Visit

Hey Everyone, 

So with my birthday fast approaching (where did that year go?). I got thinking about what I had done and where I had been so far, and to be quite honest I came to the conclusion that I really hadn't been to that many places! Which led me to make this list "30 Before 30" 30 Places whether city's or countries that I would like to visit before I'm 30. I'm not counting any of the UK or Ireland for obvious reasons.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain - Charm

Hey Everyone,

Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain (could they not have come up with a shorter name!) has been a huge hit with beauty lovers everywhere for the past year. Recently a friend of mine was going to America so I asked him to pick me up one in the colour 'Charm'. The shade is not available here or in the UK, and of course it was cheaper. I had researched the Just Bitten Balm Stains before hand and discovered that yet again we're getting different colours to the US, why is this? Its so frustrating! 

Luckily I managed to get my hands on it, but when it runs out I'm going to be devastated because the colour is AMAZING! 

It is orange pink and shimmery peachy toned, which is very natural and pretty. The product goes on like a balm although pretty quickly dries to the stain finish, (but it doesn't feel drying). It does leave behind the colour but only for a small while. I find I have to re-apply every half an hour or so, but for the colour is produces I'd happily re-apply all day. I'm not sure if its because the colour isn't as strong (light/pale), bolder colours might be longer lasting because of a higher stain colour ...this is something I'd be interested to find out! 

What's also great about this product is that it is in the style of a crayon, making it really easy to apply... no mirror necessary. As well as this there is no need to run around trying to find a sharpener when its blunt as it is a twist up crayon. 
I have had mine for a couple of months now and in the last couple of weeks have been wearing it pretty much everyday, it still hasn't really worn down  and I haven't had to twist anymore up yet. So it should definitely last me a while! One thing that can't go unmentioned is the amazing smell of this product its super minty and I love it! 

I love the packaging, its just simple no frills. Also the outside is the colour of the lip product which I always find really useful when your quickly looking to find a particular colour. One thing that is not great about the packaging is that the writing has started to come off the packaging now which I find really annoying.

The only downside to this product is that I find you have to have well moisturised lips otherwise it does have a tendency to cling to dry parts and highlight them, again that could just be the shade. 

Have you tried any of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain?
