POP Beauty Peak Performance Mascara Review

After reading some disappointing reviews online about this mascara I wanted to see for myself if it was a good idea.
The applicator definitely got me to want to purchase this and i liked the fact you had to work it manually through the lashes. So when i visited the pixi storeI purchased  this myself!

Time trial: 2 Months. 

Claims: A revolution in mascara application! 
Mascara with advanced lash comb separates, coats, lifts & fans out every lash, resulting in immense lash volume & dramatically maximized eyes. 

Lash-protecting formula conditions & nourishes lashes. Hygienic twist-up wand prevents bacteria build up & formula dry out, ensuring fresh new mascara every time.

W7 Brow Bar review

I've wanted to try W7 makeup for a while as I've heard their blushes are amazing dupes for Benefits Box blushes, although all I can usually find is their nail varnishes which I am a massive fan of.

W7's Brow Bar contains 4 colours, 1 highlight and 4 colours ranging from a light brown to a black, and also contains 2 angled brushes, 1 brow Comb and 3 brow stencils. 

Time trial; 2 weeks
Price paid ; £2.99 
Claims: none on the box but you simply use the stencils and fill in with the powders.

Test driving #1

Hey everyone!
I'm currently test driving two new purchases and an older purchase.

The three products are Sally Hansen Quik Dry oil
Hello Kitty nail polish
Barry M confetti nail polish

I'm impressed so far with the Quik Dry oil, full review will be posted when I have fully test driven the product!
I'm wearing all three at the moment and they look quite interesting.


They've been on my nails for 2 days, only minor chips, didn't have much hopes for the Hello Kitty polish but it went on lovely! 

Full reviews to come! Also have another Barry M confetti polish so both colours will be reviewed at once!
