current mascara routine

I would say mascara is one of my favourite make up items, simply because just a small amount can make such a huge difference to your face!
I wouldn't go as far as saying I was a "mascara whore" in the words of Sprinkle Of Glitter but I've had a fair amount of different mascaras.
Usually, I wouldn't only use 1 mascara, normally it would be one or two at the same time as different mascaras are used for different things. This is my favourite combo of mascaras so far, so I thought I'd share it with you. I'll also do a cheeky before and after shot too.
The mascaras I've been using are both from the same brand but have been created to do entirely different things. The first one is No7 Intense Volume Mascara and the second one is No7 Extreme Length Mascara. I usually put the Intense Volume one on first and then the Extreme Length one, but I doubt it really matters!
Firstly, I will show you the wands of the two mascaras.
No7 Intense Volume Mascara
No7 Extreme Length Mascara.
Now, the before and after pictures! Hopefully you will be able to see the difference from when I have 0 mascara on, to when I have some on, and then to when I have BOTH mascaras on!
No mascara on.
Just the Intense Volume Mascara on.
The Intense Volume and Extreme Length Mascara on. (I look a tad evil in all these photos haha!)
On a day-to-day basis and for school I would not wear this much mascara, however, I wanted to show you the full potential of the two mascaras.
Thank you so much for reading, I would love to hear about what mascaras you are using at the minute!

teeny weeny haul

Hello Lovelies
i know i have just done a haul, and i should have probably waited and included this one too, as this is another small haul (poet and i didn't know it). It's actually even smaller than the last one.
So, on Saturday I went to the Trafford Centre and whilst I was there I picked up a few things.
I went to LUSH first, and after hearing such good things about the 'Mask Of Magnaminty' I got the smaller pot which was ₤4.95 (I think). I have already used it once, and so far it seems really good. It makes your skin feel really clean and really soft.
The other thing I got was a nail polish from superdrug! I really wanted to get the Models Own Purple Blue because that looks so pretty! But sadly I couldn't see it anywhere, so I got this one which I think looks pretty similar!
I haven't tried it on my nails yet but in the bottle it looks gorgeous! I will update you on how i get on with both products!
Thank you for reading!
Love Olivia X
