Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash Waterproof Mascara



When it comes to mascara I have TONS of them. I think this is due to my everlasting desire for luscious lengthy, voluminous, thick lashes. 

I don't have one particular brand in my make-up stash as I see a mascara I like I buy it. This has, in the past set me up for a lot of disappointments but occasionally I will find a little gem in which I just HAVE to repurchase. This brings me nicely on to the Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash mascara.

I picked up the waterproof version as my intention was to take it on holiday and wear in the day and in the pool without getting hideous black make up rolling down my cheek. You all know what I mean, like when you take your make-up off after you have been in the shower and look in the mirror and you have eyeliner/mascara literally covering your whole face!

I tried this out a few times before holiday, just to test out the true waterproof-ness of it and I was very surprised at the results. So surprised, this has now become my everyday mascara.

The brush first of all is brilliant, it goes into a point at the end which makes coating the lashes in the inner corner of the eye even easier and also coating the bottom lashes is easy and you don't get those awful lines under your eye.



This mascara does have a tendency to build up quite a lot on the lashes and can occasionally give the spidery lash look. 9 times out of 10 though it creates the illusion that you have really lengthy and thick lashes its an absolute winner in my eyes.

The price is also a winning factor for me at a bargainous £3.29!!!!

You can get it from Miss SportyBoots (who may I add are selling it at the moment for £1.99) or Superdrug (who are also selling it at the moment for £1.99).

This is definitely a mascara I will be repurchasing as it not only makes the lashes look gorgeous, the price tag is bloody marvellous too!!!

Below is a picture of the mascara on at the END of the day!!! Still in tact ... WINNER.



What mascaras would you recommend for me to try? Any you would like me to review? Just let me know =D

Enjoy your day

Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub and Dual Action Moisturiser


I am pretty lucky with my skin as very rarely do I get spots and when I do it is only a small one, however I do have a lot of black heads on my chin and nose as my skin is quite oily.

I first tried the Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub when I was working in Portugal in 2009 and found it a god send. The wash claims you can see fewer blackheads after 1 wash and it does exactly that. I would say that it doesn't get rid of them completely if you use the product every day (from my experience) but you can see a lot less and your skin looks so much better. I used this religiously but as I have said before I find new products and stop using the old ones so this was one I unfortunately moved on from. 

When I first purchased this in 2009 the scrub was around £5.50 in the UK. I went into Superdrug the other day and decided to repurchase this as my skin has been playing up lately. I was amazed to see £1 off so I bought it for £1.89 which was cheaper than Superdrugs own! I just love this product as it has microbeads in it which help to exfoliate and clear the skin.  It has larger blue beads it which you can really feel exfoliating the skin, then it has finer beads within the cleansing solution which you cannot see but they help to break down the dirt and oil. 

*Apologies for my sausage like fingers (they're not like that  in real life HONEST*

Later on I was catching up on some YouTube videos I had been meaning to watch and I saw that Miss Budget Beauty (her blog is on my 'Blogs I love section' had recommended the Dual Action Moisturiser by Clean & Clear. I had this in my hand when I bought the Blackhead Clearing Scrub but ended up putting it back on the shelf. So I went back into Superdrug and bought the moisturiser and at an impressive £2.89 (ish) it was another bargain!

The moisturiser is oil free and has a spot-fighting ingredient in it to help prevent further spots which is always a bonus! The consistency is very light weight and it goes into the skin really quick. I use this in the morning and at night, I cannot say whether the moisturiser has got rid of any blemishes etc yet as I haven't had any. You can put it on as thick or as thin as you like. The bottle is quite narrow so you can easily put it in your handbag or fit it into your make up bag if you are staying over night somewhere.

Another fab product which I recommend and which an even more excellent price to match!!!

Hope you liked this guys!
