Benefit Roller Lash Mascara Review | Beauty

beauty
Hey everyone!

Sometimes when a new product launches everyone seems to love it and rave about it but it doesn't always turn out to be as good as they promise so I waited a little while to look into this new mascara from Benefit.
When I approached the Benefit stand at The Beauty Show, RDS on Saturday I connected immediately with the staff. One of the girls sat me down to try it out for myself. I was so relaxed because it wasn't a pitch, this girl was really passionate about the new mascara! I was also really impressed with the fact she had actual Roller Lash disposable wands..

The concept behind the mascara is that the wand curls your lashes so you don't have to. This obviously saves you time during your make up routine. I'm not going to lie I rarely curl my lashes and I know I should so this is what appealed to me. :D

The wand has hooks on the ends that attaches to your lashes and lifts the lash in turn curling it. I love it for my lower lashes as the wand is so slim.

As you will see in the pictures I curled my right eyelash for the craic to see if it made any difference.
Both lashes looked the exact same. You can feel the wand hooking to the lash too so it reassures you that you are using the wand correctly!

I really really really like this mascara. It makes my lashes look super long and voluminous. I don't always wear false lashes so I would be comfortable wearing this mascara alone for a night out too!

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara is a YES from me. Thanks Benefit!
Roller Lash is available online and at Benefit counters. Retails at €26. Free gift in Boots when you purchase two Benefit products right now! Click link to find out more.

Yves Saint Laurent Couture 


Hey everyone,

Last week I received an invitation to attend a master class with my favourite Make Up Artist and Yves Saint Laurent's very own Fred Letailleur. Fred is on Twitter! 
Fred has created timeless looks on the faces of many beautiful stars like Cara Delevigne and more recently little old me!
The class was to celebrate YSL's False Lash Mascara's 15th anniversary and to launch the brand new Couture Variation Palette and eye primers that everyone has been talking about. Shhh... The mascara has been remastered and refreshed for the day that's in it you know!


I jumped at the chance to allow Fred to recreate Cara's look on me. I couldn't get over how simple it was to recreate the look and how well it suited me!! I've an inner rock chick hidden in there somewhere!! You will get to meet her soon as I want to take some pictures of the recreated look once I get around to it.. :)

Now for the part you were actually waiting for!

YSL Couture Variation 10- Colour Eye Palette

10 Shades ranging from Light to Dark. There are 7 frost colours and 3 matte. The palette has been made to such a high standard. In my opinion the quality of the pigments would match or better the Urban Decay palettes. Retails at €58 and worth every cent! 

Before I forget, the brush that comes with the palette is a keeper! Fred used the brush from the palette to blend out the crease and wow.... Just remember I told you so!

Also exclusively at Debenhans you can pick up the Colour Variation Tuxedo Palette 2! Click here for more information.


Couture Eye Primers


The primers come in two shades- 1 Fair and 2 Medium. 
Fred used shade 1and 2 to contour the eye socket and act as a base to eye shadow. These primers are so versatile, you can even use it as a cream highlight!

I took home the second shade and have used it along with the palette to create some beautiful long lasting looks! Yes it really does help the shadow stay in place and NO there is no creasing!
(I am proud to say after 15 hours wearing today's make up!) Primer retails at €28.



YSL False Lash Mascara

This mascara as you know is the big 1-5! YSL reformulated the mascara to give it a little lift. I love seeing new life and love put into old products. It really shows a brands commitment to a product! More power to them! 
I love this mascara. Some mascaras are just not worth the hype. I am happy to say that this one is and then some. It gave my lashes a beautiful thick coating and even my bottom lashes got to see some action. Mascara retails at €32.50.




Will you be investing in a palette?

Volumpte Tint - In - Oil

Since the event I have gone back to YSL to pick up their new TINT IN OIL gloss NO:4 which is the same one used on Cara at the shoot. I am not normally a fan of glosses but Jesus this is amazing.
It is not drying on the lips, is packed with colour and it is moisturising too! There are 8 shades altogether and smell like juicy mangoes! Devine! The Tint In Oil glosses retail at €27.

FYI - The pictures below show:The pay off on the lips after 2-3 coats, Second picture shows me putting on the gloss..(No wands were harmed/eaten during the photoshoot! :D) and the third shows the gloss with one coat. No filters or photo shop, just great lighting for the most part!  I aint a model let me tell ya!!!!



See you next time,

Love Louise xxxx
