Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara Review

 Good evenings darlings.

Today's post is about a new mascara i've just tried, i haven't bought a new mascara in the longest time. My favourite day to day one is the Maybelline Mascara and i've used it non stop for about 2 years or maybe even longer! I go this mini mascara in a cute little set from Tarte for my birthday I would add a link but its no longer available on their website, but you can buy this mascara on its own full size. which i will link at the end of the post. I have really tiny straight lashes so i do struggle finding a mascara that does anything for me, so what works for me might not work for you. 
The packaging is a thin black tube with a plastic bristle brush. Its a cute mascara, good for travel. Although its a travel size i don't think they've skimped on the wand size and its pretty big, I really like plastic wands more than a normal bristle brush, i feel they catch the lashes more and doesn't loose as much of the product. 

What do it do? The wand separated my lashes, it gave them a nice curl and added length. It makes them look quite dramatic, at least for my tiny eyelashes. So i was really pleased.
I feel however i only need one coat, if i do any more it does start to clump and flake a little. I notice it under my eyes as the day goes on which wasn't great. It is also not waterproof so i wouldn't wear this to the gym or of you rub your eyes a lot. 
Overall i do really like this mascara, its the first for a long time that i would be happy to wear in my day to day routine as its does make my eyes lashes look really nice. I don't think it lives up to my Lash Sensational from Maybelline but its a nice alternative and i'm glad i have it in my collection. 

You can buy it full size here for £21

I'd love to know have you tried this mascara?

The perfect travel palette // 'Shape your money maker'

Hello darlings

Guess who is back in the full swing of blogging! I'm feeling really motivated and enjoying blogging again. If you have any posts you wanna see from me let me know and i will do my best to create them.

Today's post is about my perfect travel palette. Put this in your makeup bag with foundation, concealer, brow pencil, mascara and lip stick and you are good to go. I got this in the sales after Christmas, i may have bought a lot of makeup in the sales after Christmas! But Shhh. One brand i have a new love for is Tarte, i can't believe i hadn't tried their products till the end of last year when my finance bought me the Sweet Escape Collectors Set for my birthday! Which i really want to review for you guys but i don't think its available any more as it was limited edition. 

I got this palette for £15 instead of £30. Plus they had i believe it was 15% or 20% off on top as part of the black Friday sale. Amazing! I think this is a really good palette to travel with, its small, its sturdy, it has a bronzer, highlight and 6 eye shadows. 
Beautiful packaging that feels really expensive. Very sleek packaging, but sturdy. Plus it smells like chocolate, its a lovely smell but not overpowering, you can't smell it on your face. It comes with a nice size mirror, again great for travel. Its has a little saying on it, 'shape your money makers'.
Inside it contains one highlight called flex and one bronzer/contour called slim. The highlight is a lovely pink toned shimmer, very pretty on the skin. 

The bronzer is a mid tone brown not too warm or not too cool, it think it would suit most skin tones, its very pigmented, so only a little is needed, so the product will last a long time.
Six eye shadows, the top row are shimmer and the bottom are mattes.

Top row
Cut: A white shimmer, gives off a slight bronze colour.
Snatched: A dark bronze, a copper toner shimmer.
Tone up: A deep purple shimmer.

Bottom row 
Trainer: A warm matte white.
Cardio: A Warm medium brown.
Reps: A Deep warm reddish brown.

Overall i'm loving this palette and can't wait to take it with me on my next trip away. 

I'd love to know have you tried this palette?
What is your go to travel palette?
