Emotional Brilliance: Perspective.

I love Lush products but rather than using them everyday they're usually a bit of a treat for me due to their prices. However, Perspective in their Emotional Brilliance range has quickly become one of my favourite products to wear and it is definitely worth the £14.50 that I paid for it.

Personally, I tend to only wear eye make up in the day and possibly jazz it up with some lip colour on a night out but I enjoy wearing Perspective for any occasion. The colour itself can seem quite dark at first but I find that it is a perfect autumn/winter colour, which in England can seem all year round!

Like the other products in the Emotional Brilliance range, Perspective can be used anywhere on your face, although designed as a lip colour. If you want to put it on your cheeks or eyes, that's fine, the colour smudges and blends extremely easily. Although, this does mean that as a lipstick before the colour completely dries it can transfer onto your glass when you drink.

The Emotional Brilliance range at Lush itself is very exciting, I love playing with the mood wheel in store and online, mainly because I find that kind of thing very interesting. You can do it yourself here.

I might need to invest in some more colours myself soon!

Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara

Like most girls, I can be quite picky when it comes to make up. I want a mascara that isn't going to give me spider eyes but still gives me long thick looking lashes. Maybelline New York's Illegal Length mascara does give you the length whilst keeping the lashes looking natural and not clumpy or spider-like.

The added length to your lashes is due to the fibre brush that comes with the mascara. It's a really nice applicator as it doesn't pull on your lashes like some mascaras can do. As you apply you can immediately see the impact that the mascara is having on your lashes with each stroke. My eyebrows look a little strange in the photos below but you can see the difference quite clearly.

Looking again the "after" photo is a little creepy because I'm staring into the camera, sorry about that! One slight downside is the lack of thickness but at least it means I avoid clumps and lumps on my eyelashes!
