L'oreal Volume Million Lashes Feline Mascara Review

Over the last few years I've tried new mascara's here and there but you probably all know that I always venture back to the same product - Maxfactor's Masterpiece Max.

It now takes alot for me to want to purchase a 'new' mascara as not many seem to work for me as well as Masterpiece and I like to stick to what I know works.

 I'm a big fan of 'comb' type brushes as I have such short lashes and small eyes it makes it easier for me to create longer looking lashes.

I tried a sample of Benefit's Roller Lash when it was released earlier this year and really liked it, but being double the price of my normal mascara budget I didn't purchase after trying.

So...... when I spotted a high street brand bringing out a mascara with a brush that looks fairly similar to Roller Lash.... I was seriously interested!

Yes, L'oreal have added yet another mascara to their highly popular Volume Million Lashes range in the name of 'Feline'!

The legendary brush is now arched, fitting the eyelid shape perfectly and making it super easy to capture every lash with each stroke. 

Curved brushes have become really popular these last few months and this mascara has been working so well for me!

I use my eyelash curlers as normal and then use Feline to coat my lashes root to tip giving them great length and a fabulous flare!

Volume Million Lashes Feline is priced at £10.99 and is being released THIS week so keep your eyes peeled in your local Boots stores as I think there may be a cheaper introductory price for the first few weeks!

6 Shades For Summer

With it being May already and those warmer months being just around the corner, I thought it was about time that I started talking SUMMER over here on A Yellow Brick Blog! (waits for round of applause and woop woop's all round)

Not long now and we'll be sipping cocktails in the sun, heading to Festivals, wearing dresses without god damn tights and whipping out those bright and bold lip shades!

When it comes to summer and sunshine I love rocking bright, fun shades and it's one of my favourite times to try out new products and splurge my dollar!

So here are 6 of the shades that I will be rocking for sure over the next few months!

Left to right :

 Bourjois Aqua Laque - 06 Feeling Reddy 

This is one of the newest products from Bourjois' range. After the awesome success of their Rouge Velvet collection they have bought out the gorgeous Aqua range. Shiny, glosses liquid lipstick with an amazing staying power! I just had to pick up this bright red shade for summer.

 L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick - 401 Fuschia Drama

One of my ultimate favourites here. I bought this as soon as it was released and it has been in my most worn pile of products ever since then. I love fuschia shades and this liquid lipstick is gorgeous. I wear it at work alot and it stays on so, so well.

 L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick - 201 Rose Symphony

You probably already saw me talking about it earlier this week, with an awesome offer available I couldn't not purchase this. The most subtle of the shades I've picked, this is perfect for everyday wear and great to wear with all those pretty florals we like to rock.

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick - 110

A classic now. Rimmel's Kate Moss collection is my favourite drug store lipstick collection, hands down. This is a gorgeous matte coral - a bright shade to suit a number of different skin tones and great for a smaller budget.

MAC Lipstick - Candy Yum Yum

Now.... this is a BRIGHT one! Another matte product and another personal favourite of mine. I LOVE wearing this to festivals!

MAC Lipstick - Impassioned

Last but not least we have Impassioned, one of my favourite MAC products I own. This shade is like nothing else I own (and I'm not going to lie.. I own alot) which definitely helps it stand out in my collection. It's one of those shades that you can recognise on someone in a second, I don't think I'll ever get bored of pinks you know.

Feeling Reddy | Fuchsia Drama | Rose Symphony | 110 | Candy Yum Yum | Impassioned

What are your favourite summer shades? I'd love to know your MAC top picks... I fancy treating myself for this upcoming season!

Get A L'oreal Liquid Lipstick Better Than Half Price!

If you read my blog/twitter/facebook etc you have probably noticed how much I LOVE a good bargain.
Sometimes I see an offer that is so good I just can't say no no matter how skint I may be.... this was one of those offers!

It was over a year ago now that I first blogged about the L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipsticks and how much I had fallen in love with them (see that glowing review - here) and since then my fuchsia drama baby has been used over and over again, becoming a regular in my make-up bag.

So seeing this HUGE saving on one of my favourite L'oreal products ever had me squealing with excitement. 
The make-up giant has teamed up with the drinks giant that is Coca Cola - so at Boots now when you buy a 500ml bottle of diet coke you SAVE £5 on your liquid lipstick! 
Bringing the usual £8.99 price tag down to just £3.99. (Cheaper than most drugstore lip products out there ya know AND you'll get points on your advantage card!)

 I decided to go with the nice summery shade 'Rose Symphony' (201), seeing as we are soooo nearly there - summer is on the way people! This is a gorgeous pinky shade with a sight coral tint, the formula to these is amazing and I'm so happy I have another one added to my collection.... in fact... I feel like I should go back and take advantage of this offer while it lasts really!

(And yes.... we all know I don't actually like coke .... but Joe does so it's all good! It won't go to waste!)
This offer is valid in Boots stores nationwide from April 29th - 26th May!

My Winter Essentials : Lip Favourites

More Winter essentials for you lovely girls and boys today! Lip colours are my weakness... I actually think I have an addiction and through the hundreds that I probably own I've picked out a few of my total and utter favourites for these darker, colder months!

I never used to wear darker shades, I actually used to be super terrified of them, I was a wimp and thought they looked horrific on me but now I LOVE them! Plums, reds - they are da bomb !

I've picked a mix of different lip products as my favourites as I do wear a variety! Lipsticks, lipbalms, lipglosses I flick between them all depending on the occasion and my mood!

Left to right : 

Mac - Heroine

Revlon Coloururst - Lollipop

Rimmel Apocalips - Eclipse

Rimmel Kate Moss - 107

L'oreal Colour Riche - Blake's Pure Red

Heroine is a colour I've wanted for so so long, I know it has been around for ages but I only actually just managed to pick it up about a month ago! I got it in the Orlando airport when I was flying home at the end of September (hello airport prices!) This is the brightest of the shades I've picked out - as you can;t always been dark and moody! I LOVE this purple colour, it looks amazing on the lips and the matte finish helps it stay on for ages!

Lollipop is one of the Colourburst lip butters from Revlon and I have used this for what seems like years! It's the sheerest of the shades I've picked out and is perfect for my everyday look, I love the formula of these lip butters, the nicest ones on the highstreet in my opinion.

Eclipse is one of the Apocalips from Rimmel. If you have read my blog for a while you will know how crazy I went for these when they came out and I still use them all the time! They are a great mix between a lipgloss and a lipstick! A gorgeous opaque colour with a lovely shine and great lasting time - these come in so many colours and now they have matte versions out.... which I need in my life!

107 - I think everyone owns this beauty! The Kate Moss range from Rimmel are one of the best out there and this colour is one I would recommend to everyone!

Last but not least it is the newest of the lot - Blake's Pure Red from the new Pure Red Collection at L'oreal! You may have seen my post about this a few weeks ago (here) - I love this red and the whole collection actually - you can't go through winter without a red lippy can you!? The colour of Christmas!

What are your favourite lip colours for this time of year?

I also LOVE Rebel from Mac, Mystic from Sleek and the Little Mix Perrie lipstick from Collection!

L'oreal Colour Riche Blake's Pure Red Lipstick

FINALLY! I've been waiting for new L'oreal lady Blake Lively to get her own lipstick! After the seriously popular nude's collection from the glamorous faces of L'oreal I knew it wasn't going to be long until they bought out some more!

This time it's all about the reds and I'm SO pleased Blake has been involved!

The new Pure Red's Collection is made up of 4 new shades from the likes of Blake, Eva, Julianne & Liya. (and I'm sure at some point I'll own them all but I thought I'd limit myself to just the one for now..... it's not like a need another red lipstick!)

I am a huge Blake Lively fan and I won't lie - my purchase of this was heavily influenced by the fact her name was plastered on the front of it!

Blake, Serena, S, that druggie girl in The Town ... whatever you want to call her - she is a total stunner, I have become total captivated with her transformation into one of the most stunning women to hit the red carpets recently.

The lipstick itself is only £6.99 - I'm not sure weather this is a prmotional price of whether the Colour Riche lipsticks have been reduced permantly - a middle price for a high street brand and I was more than happy to pay it.

I love the shape of the bullet, it is slightly different to most products out there with a smaller and more pointed nib which makes it super easy to apply neatly and precisely. 

With Autumn more or less here I'm starting to prepare myself for less bright pinks and corals and more reds and deep purples! 

This shade is gorgeous, bold and has incredible staying power! L'oreal's lip products are always impressive and I have to say this is definitely my go-to red for now.... I think I may just go and buy the rest of the collection!
