May hots and nots
May was one hectic month for me. I was working at school from 7am to 4pm and then tutoring till 5:30pm after that. It was a very loud child filled time for me. I am back to what I love beauty products and reviews. Here are the products I adored in May and the products that I could do with out. Now that I am writing that I actually do not think I have one product that I hated. There were some that were not fantastic but nothing terrible. Anyway, enough chatter lets get into it.
Essence super curl mascara
I am totally smitten with this mascara. It is absolutely amazing. I never get big chunks of mascara on my lashes. It evenly spreads on to the lashes and makes them long and thick. This mascara has replaced all my others and is not my number 1 love.
Product facts
- Cruelty Free
- Available at Dischem and Clicks
- R59.95
L.A Girl PRO.Powder
Now I have rather mixed feelings about this product. I enjoy the powder and find that it sets my makeup very nicely. However, the problem comes with the packaging, everytime I open or close the container I get white powder everywhere. This has to be a love the product but hate the packaging and think they need to rethink it.
Product Facts
- cruelty free
- Available at Dischem
- R62.95
Girlz Only Dry Shampoo
Normally I use the Batiste dry shampoo and I adore it. I thought that I would try a different one and this one caught my eye. When it comes to the dry shampoo I am pretty impressed but it isnt amazing. I find that it spreads very nicely all over the hair and it does take away that greasy look. However, I found that the first issue was my hair felt powdery which wasnt very comfortable and then my second issue was that it does last. I found that after a few hours my hair was back to looking greasy and awful, this was never a problem I had with Batiste

July 1, 2018 at 8:45 pmessence is such a great little brand. I wish it was more widely available in the UK. I only know of one store (Wilkos) that stocks it.

July 2, 2018 at 1:17 pmSuch a lovely post! I love the sound of this mascara, like one of my pet peeves is mascara that clumps so hearing that this doesn’t is fantastic! Honestly I’ve never tried dry shampoo lol I always feared I might do it wrong or it won’t cooperate….Thanks for the review and adding whether it’s cruelty free or not! 😀

July 2, 2018 at 4:57 pmI really need to try more makeup from Essence, because I’ve heard it’s a fantastic brand. I really appreciate you picturing the wand on the mascara, because that’ll make or break my decision on mascaras! And I love the one pictured here, so I really want to try this. Thanks for sharing!

July 3, 2018 at 8:43 amI have the same problem with my RMCA powder – I love the product but hate the packaging. I’ve been using the Essence Lash Princess mascara and love that one.

July 3, 2018 at 7:04 pmI haven’t tried any of these products, although I now have my eye on that mascara. I heart great things about the Essence Makeup mascaras, and I tend to get on with most mascaras.
Thanks for sharing! x

July 4, 2018 at 3:09 amThere are four products in my life that I “can’t” live without: mascara, dry shampoo, eyeliner and deo. And at the moment, I’m afraid there’s not much room for more, hah. Glad you did a review on dry shampoo, there are huge differences between products!

July 4, 2018 at 1:24 pmOmg I’ll have to try that essence mascara 😍😭. I’m a mascara fanatic . Sucks that the powder does that when using . Thanks for the honest review !
Jess
July 4, 2018 at 7:57 pmI’m always looking for a good mascara so I’ll definitely keep my eye out for that! I completely agree with the struggles of using loose powder, I have RCMA and as much as I love it I cannot cope with how it gets everywhere!
