FRAGRANCE DIRECT HAUL.

Fragrance Direct is my first stop for beauty essentials, I'm not going to lie, before working with them I genuinely thought they only sold fragrances, boy was I wrong. They literally sell EVERYTHING and you are guaranteed to always and I mean always find a bargain. That's exactly why they are my first stop for beauty essentials I mean who doesn't love a bargain? They stock so many brands from Guerlain to Essie, from drugstore to high-end, whatever you want they've got it all covered and usually at a discount. They also offer student discount all year round and you can check out the UNIDAYS page here.

These are two of my favorite products from the entire haul. Hylamide low molecular ha booster and Hylamide glow radiance booster. I'm literally obsessed. If you've heard of Deciem, which by now I'm sure you have because lets face it, they are kind of nailing it when it comes to skincare at the moment. Anyway, you will probably be aware of science and ingredients behind the brand and I wont lie, I don't always understand it but to put it in simple terms, lets just say. They focus on making good quality products. No added extras, nothing to make them prettier or smell better just great quality products and I wont lie both of these serums smell a little funky but once the product sinks into the skin, I don't even notice. They just brighten and hydrate my skin like nothing else. It is not like that  fake hydration either that just sits on top of your skin. It's the real stuff that penetrates the skin and makes you glow from within. If you buy one (or two) things from Frangrance Direct today make it these!


The next thing I picked up was this Murad Clarifying Mask, again by another brand with a great reputation. I've never actually tried anything from Murad, so was pleasantly surprised when I tried this. It is one of the best clarifying masks I have ever tried. I literally apply it to my skin and within minutes I can see the product pulling impurties up from the skin. It's pretty gross but it is amazing to see something work so fast. I love using this mask on a weekly basis just to really give me a thourough cleanse.





Beautypro collagen under eye mask with green tea
Incase you havent already noticed, I'm the kind of girl that loves a good pamper. I love trying new products, especially something that's going to help with my under eye bags, not gonna lie, they are awful. When I saw these under eye masks, I couldn't wait to try them. I always make my own under eye masks with cotton wool pads and camomille tea but I just wanted to try something that felt a little more luxury and these do. They feel super hydrating and the gel cushion sits under the eye so comforatable (little warning) don't accidentally fall asleep with them on though, after 8 hours or so they do dry up and become incredibly painful to pull of from your delicate under eye. hashtag, I'm a twat. 


Wet Brush pro
If you haven't jumped on the Wet Brush band wagon yet, then we can't be friends. No I'm joking, but you need to. I've used a Wet Brush for the past 3 years or so and I would literally never go back. I mean, I used the Tangle Teaser for a while, but we all know how much of a faff it was trying to get one of them to actually untangle our knotts. I am obssessed, I lost my hair brush a few weeks ago and I point blank refused to brush my hair with anything else. I'd rather have messy hair -end of. (Don't worry I found it in the end, I'm not sitting here rocking dreadlocks- infact, I don't think I could even try to pull dreadlocks off).

Professional double prong curl clips 72 clips
If you ever have or ever plan on curling your hair then you need these. I swear these are a total game changer. Again I have used this for years on and off for pinning my curls. Literally, if you want your curls to last then you need these. I will simply take a section of hair curl it and instead of letting the girl drop out once I've finised I will wrap it back round itself and then pin it in place. I will continue to do this for my full head and then I will leave my hair to cool and then take the clips out and brush through my curls and I swear, my curls literally last for days. I wash my hair every 2/3 days but if I left it for a week my hair would easily still be curled. 


I havent actually tried this yet, but Im really excited to. I love a body scrub. The only thing that makes me a little apprehensive with this is that the consitency is really strange it kind of feels like really soft soil. I'm not sure how scrubby it will be but I'm excited to try it anyway.

And the last two things and by no means least, Kneipp mineral deep sleep bath salt and Kneipp cold season eucalyptus bath crystals ok ok, you get it. I love to be pampered. It's true, I really do. I'm making a concnious effort to have more me time, lite a candle, run a bath and put my favourite bath salts in and just relax. I genuinely don't think there is anything nicer than having a long bath and just a bit of down time and anything that enhances that experience is a winner for me.


 I hope you've enjoyed this post. Let me know what you would like to try or have tried in the comments below and make sure to check out Fragrance Direct (You won't regret it I promise)

HOW TO ACTUALLY ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS.


To achieve anything you have to believe, believe in yourself, believe in your dreams and in your capabilities. You can do anything, be anything and achieve anything if you put your mind to it. Sure it takes hard work, a few melt downs, and constant self-motivation but it is possible. Here are a few things I do to actually achieve my goals.

M I N D S E T
To achieve anything, you need to be in the right mindset. If you're constantly doubting yourself and your goals, you are pretty much just setting yourself up for failure. To be successful you must think, act, eat and sleep success. If you believe and I mean genuinely believe you are successful, success will come because you're already in the right mindset for it.

P A T I E N C E
Achieving goals can take 5 minutes or 5 years, there really is no time frame and sometimes you have to be patient. If you really believe in your goals you will achieve them. Also if you've set yourself big goals like "buy a house" and of course, that's not going to magically happen over night but give it time. Keep inspiring yourself every single day and know that if you believe in it enough it will happen.

Q U I T  M A K I N G  E X C U S E S
"Some people are just handed things on a plate I don't have that kind of luxury", "I don't have enough time", "I can't do it". Just a few excuses you may hear, or even use but, we all have the same amount of hours in a day. We are capable of anything we set our mind to. It doesn't matter where you come from, how much money you have or if you work 2 jobs, if you want something enough, you will make time for it.

S E L F - M O T I V A T I O N
You need to be able to inspire and motivate yourself day in, day out. You must surround yourself with everything you want to achieve. Constantly remind yourself why you're on the journey you are on. Tell yourself you can do it and do it. Refuse to give in. Keep working no matter what knock backs you may have.

R E W A R D  Y O U R S E L F
One of my fave things to do is reward myself once I've achieved one of my goals. It can be as simple as an at home pamper evening or a cheeky takeaway. It doesn't really matter what it is but it has to be something that makes you want to keep going.

T E L L  T H E  W O R L D
Shout it from the rooftops! Literally tell everyone and anyone your goals, dreams, and hopes. Don't ever be ashamed or feel silly. I don't care if your goal is "unrealistic" to some. If you can dream it you can do it and you should!


But remember the most important thing to help you achieve your goals is to believe in yourself.

MAGNITONE WELL HEELED EXPRESS PEDICURE SYSTEM REVIEW.

"It's a roll and go kinda thing"

It is easy to forget our feet need care, but it's true. In fact, they need extra care, we are on them day in, day out. If I'm completely honest, I completely understand how people neglect their feet. Afterall, we only realise we have neglected them when we need them out. Which isn't all that often in the UK as the weather is rubbish 99.9% of the time, that being said, I don't like to be caught off guard! If I'm sat at home and it's pouring it down and all of a sudden the sun comes out, I want to be out of the house as quick as I possibly can be. I don't want to spend 30 minutes trying to make my feet look "Sandal ready" and now I don't have to. 

Taking care of my feet has never been easier, Magnitones Pedicure System is super easy and convenient. It's battery operated which means it's ready to go at the click of a button. It's easy to carry around and comes with 2 heads and a cleaning brush. They've literally made it as convenient as they possibly could.

The main thing that I appreciated with the Express Pedicure System was that it just works, it works efficiently and quickly. Literally, I can use it for 5 minutes once a week or so after a bath and know that my feet will be left soft, every single time. It's literally a "roll and go kinda thing". 

They've really thought about the design of this product. It's easy to grip and it glides along the sole of your foot. If I'm completely honest, I can't fault it and for £24.99, I feel like you can't go wrong.

Have you ever tried anything like this?

MY THOUGHTS ON TEAGIME.




I've never been one for fad diets, I strongly believe that eating healthy is a lifestyle choice, perhaps a lifestyle choice, I don't always follow but still a lifestyle choice. I don't agree with starving yourself and living off shakes, I don't agree with counting calories, what I do believe in, is being more conscious of your decisions, making better decisions and living a life where you allow yourself to have balance. 20 percent treat and 80 percent good. (Although, I'm pretty sure this week my "Balance" Has been 80 percent treat, possibly even 90 but that's not the point.)

I like testing out different teas for two reasons. 
Firstly because I'm obsessed with tea. Secondly, because unlike other methods of diets/weight loss they don't offer false claims, they don't make you starve yourself and chances are they won't actually do much at all. Just make you feel a little less bloated and help your digestive system run a little smoother. So if you like realistic results, strong tea, and something that fits into your routine easily then keep reading.





Teagime morning tea.
This is basically coffee, in the form of tea. It's going to give you a little boost, a little energy and boost your metabolism. This is personally my favorite of the 3. It definitely gave me a little something to get me going for the day, but it also tastes delicious. I could drink this tea every day and wouldn't feel like I'm missing out on a nice cup of English tea.

Teagime afternoon tea.
This tea is meant to help beat the afternoon slump and help curb sugar cravings. If I'm completely honest. I can barely drink this tea. It's way too sweet for me. I've never really been one for berry teas or anything like that. The good thing is as it's loose tea I can pick how much I want so in the afternoon I will literally have a pinch of this in my tea bag. 

Teagime evening tea.
My favorite tea of the day is actually my night time tea. Whether I'm following a teatox or not I always always have a cup of tea before bed. This tea is calming and always helps soothe my tummy before bed. 

Over all, I've really enjoyed adding Teagime to my day. I don't always drink it daily and I haven't tracked to see if I have lost any weight because for me it isn't about that. It's about adding something that helps my digestive system and gives me a little more energy. Also when I do stick to drinking this weekly I do feel like I notice a difference in my belly but mainly because I don't feel bloated and for me that makes a huge difference.

WHAT I THINK OF MAHOGANY NATURALS SKINCARE.





"If you're going to invest in anything, invest in your skin."

I love skincare, it is one of my favourite things to buy and trial. Finding a good skin care can be a tricky challenge and a pretty pricey one at that. If you're going to invest in anything, invest in your skin. 

When Mahogany Naturals sent me these items over, I was a little sceptical. Natural and organic skincare has never been something that I've been overly bothered by and whenever I've tried natural skincare I've always broken out. However, you can't knock something until you've tried it. If you want to know what I really thought of Mahogany Naturals, then keep reading.

Soothing Cleansing Oil £40
This is my favourite item of the 3. It removed all of my make up quickly and easily. I found myself using this on days when I wanted to get my make up off as quickly as possible. It left my skin feeling amazing. My skin felt hydrated yet clean. The only thing I wasn't keen on was how strong it smelt, it's a little overwhelming for a skincare product and the strong smell made me hesitant to try it on my eyes.

Manuka Face Cream £50
This is my least favourite of the 3. I literally could not stand the smell of this stuff at all. I think I managed to use it for a week and just disliked the smell so much that I had to discontinue use. I'm sure if I had stuck to it I would get use to it eventually, but I didn't notice any real difference in my skin within that week of use anyway so it wasn't worth continuing use for me. 

Relaxing Rose and Geranium Bath Salt £30
I love my baths and I'm obsessed with anything that is going to make my baths even more enjoyable. I loved the rose and geranium. Even though they smelt quite strong, it was actually really nice when put in the bath. I've used these all up and every time I used them I felt calmer, my skin felt a little softer and better. I know that sounds a little crazy but the scent has a really relaxing kind of feel. I loved these!

Over all, I really enjoyed my experience with these natural products. It is a little strange getting used to the natural scents but it does grow on you. 

I hope you've enjoyed this post. Leave me a comment letting me know what your favourite skincare product is.

FATHERS DAY WITH FRAGRANCE DIRECT


I can't believe it's nearly Fathers Day already. This will be the second one in which my partner is a Father for. I love Fathers Day, it's so easy to take for granted our Fathers, our partners, and Father figures in our lives, so once a year, it is nice for them to be reminded that we love them, we need them and we treasure them. (Although we should be doing it more than once a year) 

However, finding a present that says all that can be really hard, nothing ever really shows them exactly how much you appreciate them and sure a fragrance can't say it all but a fragrance is a pretty personal thing, just being able to pick out a fragrance they like shows that you know them and it's little tokens of love like that, that really matter. 

Fragrance Direct have made it easier than ever to get the right fragrance for your loved one, just take the fragrance finder quiz and hopefully it will give you a helping hand in finding the perfect scent. It literally takes 2 minutes and it's quite fun seeing what fragrance they suggest. 

"It's Masculine and seductive, the kind of scent that turns heads"

This is my favorite of the bunch, not only because the bottle is pretty swanky, but because it's got that real sexy smell to it. It's masculine and seductive, the kind of scent that turns heads. Funnily enough, this was also my partners favorite. I feel like this is a really safe scent, I'd be surprised if someone wasn't keen on this scent.


I really couldn't decide which fragrance I prefered out of this one and the other. However, Gucci Guilty just topped the boat slightly, purely because of it's swanky and slim bottle, I felt like it was a little more travel-friendly. However, this bottle is equally sleek, it is just a little bulkier. The scent is again very masculine, fresh and sophisticated. This is a really memorable scent, it's got something a little unique to it whilst still being a really safe option. 



Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Absolute EDP
This is your not so safe option, this scent is like marmite. You either love it or hate it. I'm not going to lie, it is not my favourite, it certainly is not something my partner would usually wear, not because it doesn't smell nice but because it is a scent I imagine an older man wearing, it's very sophisticated and masculine still but it is very unique. It will not be everyone's cup of tea.

If you're still hunting for the perfect Father's day gift I really recommend checking out Fragrance Directs Fathers Day hub and taking the fragrance finder quiz. It is such a great idea, it is quick and easy. Plus it really helps when it comes to picking out the perfect scent! 

I hope this has been helpful, let me know if you've taken the quiz! Also, let me know what you are getting your Father for Fathers Day.

DAISY DREAMING.


"To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement" 

Perfume has always been one of those items that feel's like a treat, something about it screams luxury and Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Blush is no exception. It's light, floral and airy, with notes of lily of the valley, rose and lingering drydown it really is the perfect Spring Summer scent. To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. Plus, how breathtakingly beautiful is the bottle? In fact, it is so beautiful I created a makeup look inspired by the bottle. Something soft, pretty and glowy.
(you can shop the fragrance here for £34.95 saving yourself £19.05!)


When creating the look I really wanted to make it match the scent. I wanted it to be perfect for Spring and Summer time so obviously, all the glow was key. I started off by mixing a tiny bit Nars Illuminator in Super Orgasm in with my foundation and it looked gorgeous. If you've tried anything in the shade Orgasm you will know it is a gorgeous shade with lots of gold undertones, which work perfectly at brightening the face. However, of course, this wasn't enough glow for me, so I added Nars Copacabana onto my cheek bones. This really brightened and highlighted the area.


I then took a large fluffy brush and dusted the Loreal Lumi Magique Pearl Powder this powder is so lightweight but sets your makeup beautifully. You wouldn't even know you have applied powder to your face. It literally keeps your skin looking glowy and your makeup lasting all day. It is very similar to the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders and I imagine it to be similar to the By Terry Illuminating Powder as the shades and idea are very similar. However, this powder retails at £4.99 on Fragrance Direct and I literally have been using it non-stop. 



I then added Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint Healthy Glow Powder because I'm so pale this works beautifully at bronzing my face up. It is very soft and natural but it really brings my makeup together. It really does give me that healthy kind of glow look. Plus it smells amazing.

 

Then the last step I took was adding this beautiful blusher in Desire. I actually picked the wrong shade in this blusher, I originally was meant to pick Unlawful, but this shade is actually so similar to the colour of the perfume bottle it fits well. This blush is simply stunning, that being said, like all Nars blushers you only need a tiny tiny amount. They really are super pigmented and it really is easy to go overboard.




And of course to finish off the look I created my signature curls and added my signature Summer scent and then I was good to go.




What is your spring summer fragrance?

THE TWO LIPSTICKS YOU ALWAYS NEED IN YOUR COLLECTION.



"The shade of lipstick you pick can make or break your entire look."

When it comes to lipstick, you can never go wrong with a Nude and a Red. I feel like these are the two colours you always need in your collection, come rain or shine. The shade of lipstick you pick can make or break your entire look.

My go to daily shade has been Bella, it is a Nude with a subtle hint of pastel Pink. This is a real feminine shade, yet something that suits every makeup look. This lipstick compliments my skin colour and my hair colour, I feel like it really is the perfect Nude for me. I am obsessed with the texture, the lipstick is velvety on the application. It leaves your lips feeling nourished, the lipstick feels so lite on the lips. It's a big fat thumbs up from me.

If I'm feeling a little brave then I reach for Evelyn. It's the perfect corally Red shade. The kind of shade that looks beautiful with a tan, yet still compliments us pale girls skin tones. I personally find it really hard to wear Red shades in the summer, in the winter it's a bit easier, I just pretend I'm rocking the dark red "vampy look" but come summer I want it to look a little softer. I also love this shade just to make me feel put together when I'm in a rush. Literally a bit of bb cream, blush and mascara and a quick swipe of this over the lip and your good to go. 

I genuinely feel like this brand needs more hype. Whilst these lipsticks retail at £18.00, so a little pricey. They are worth it. I feel like they are way up there with the quality you would get from Charlotte Tilbury or Mac. Also, the packaging is gorgeous and really durable which is always a winner. You can shop all Joan Collins products here.

THE ONE WATCH EVERY WOMEN SHOULD OWN.

"Jewellery is the finishing touch to an outfit. It compliments what is already there."

When it comes to our wardrobe we all have our staples. The cami in black, white and nude. A pair of jeans in black and blue, a well fitting dress and a neutral coloured coat. They are all essential and all work beautifully together and apart. So why not have some key pieces of jewellery? After all, jewellery is the finishing touch to an outfit. It compliments what is already there.

For me, there are few very obvious items we should have in our jewellery collection.  

one: T h e  C a s u a l  W a t c h
This is something you can wear day in day out and something that goes with pretty much any outfit. I personally love my brand new classic petite watch from Daniel Wellington with this gorgeous leather strap. It is super comfy for everyday wear. The leather strap is so beautifully designed yet simple enough to go with any outfit.

two: T h e  E v e n i n g  W a t c h
I really love dressing up an outfit with a watch. I think silver, gold or rose gold can really add an extra touch, that something special to an evening outfit. I have kind of cheated a little with this one as it is the same watch as the first one but with its original rose gold mesh strap on. The great thing about Daniel Wellington watches is that they make it easy and affordable to change up your look within a minute. Seriously, it has never been easier and with so many different straps and style to choose from you really can't go wrong. You can shop all Daniel Wellington items here. (Don't forget to use my discount code STACEYWHITE15 FOR 15% OFF. Valid till 15/06/2017)


three: T h e  C l a s s i c  C u f f
I am completely and utterly obsessed with the way this cuff compliments the watch. It looks beautiful with both the mesh and leather strap. It's so dainty and simple but adds so much detail.

THE UGLY TRUTH OF BEAUTY.


"We have probably all been plagued by body image."

They say beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. So why is it I feel the constant need to lose weight, the urge to keep up with trends and quite frankly blend in. It's 2017 and women are strong and independent, yet this urge of weakness overtakes me and I constantly feel compelled to keep up. Each and every beauty product I buy is an attempt at feeling beautiful.

At one stage or another, we have probably all been plagued by body image. Sometimes it's caused by self-doubt and other times it caused by ugly words and ignorant people. For some of us, it only affects us from time to time and for the rest of us it eats us up.


But can we ever really learn to accept ourselves? One simple answer. YES. If you want to and I mean only if you really really want to. (God that sounded like a lyrics from a 90's spice girl song). Never ever, did I dream I would feel somewhat comfortable standing in front of a camera and actually posting, for some this is natural and they look effortlessly beautiful, purely just because they are comfortable with themselves. For me, I would look like Chandelier from Friends, you know the series where he would try and smile in front of a camera and end up looking like a psychopath? Yup that's me, but a short and chubby version.


"I've just started accepting more and more, that I am who I am. All 5ft 3 inches of me, stretch marks, saggy skin and all"

But now, out of nowhere, I've just started accepting more and more, that I am who I am. All 5ft 3 inches of me, stretch marks, saggy skin and all. Some people say it comes with age and I mean to some extent, the older we get the more we learn and the less we care. But in all honesty, to really feel more comfortable in yourself, I believe we must push ourselves so far out of our comfort zone so that we can completely lose sight of what it is that makes us comfortable anymore.


Don't get me wrong, it doesn't happen overnight and it is certainly something I work at every single day but for the most part I am ok with not being stick thin and knowing that some days it is ok to eat a pack of biscuits, all six packets of crisps from a multipack and a Chinese. I've made a vow to not obsess over what I eat and the way I look and sure, from time to time I do but, I'm learning that it is not the end of the world if my jeans are so tight they cut off circulation.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, let's all try and obsess less, live more and quit sweating the small stuff. Sometimes it's ok to feel down in yourself, sometimes it's ok to make jokes at your own expense but it is also ok to feel good about yourself and whether that means going Au Naturale, or If it means covering your face in makeup then so be it. I am so done with caring if people think I wear too much makeup and I am so done with worrying what people think of me, people who love you will love you for you, flaws and all.


So here's to self-loveself-worth, and lots of selfies.

STEPPING INTO SPRING WITH KOKO COUTURE

"Your accessories are the finishing touches, the cherry on top shall we say."

Spring is well and truly in the air and I am so ready to swap chunky knits for floral dresses, hot chocolate for cocktails and heavy handbags for pretty little clutches.

I am very much a grab and go kind of girl, I like to throw an outfit on and dress it up with my shoes and my bag. Your accessories are the finishing touches, the cherry on top shall we say.

This cream bag from Koko Courture is both beautiful and convenient. It's spacious enough to fit a camera, phone, and all your essentials in, whilst still remaining compact. You can wear it as an oversized clutch and a side bag which makes it the perfect grab and go bag. 

The bag is beautiful, simple and easy to style and for £24.00 a complete bargain. It comes in Cream, Black and Tan and they are all equally beautiful. For me the Cream was perfect for spring, the gold detailing on the bag compliment the style.

The bag is faux leather but feels soft yet durable. The only downside to this bag for me was that when I wear dark jeans with the bag, the colour rubs off onto the bag. This isn't a huge issue as it can be wiped away but it is definitely something to think about if you're like me and live in black jeans. 

Overall, I was super impressed with the quality. I will definitely be purchasing other bags in the future from Koko Couture

Whats your go to spring accessory?

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THICK FLUTTERY LASHES.


"I like my skin to look flawless, glowy and natural and my lashes to look full, thick and fluttery. I really do believe this is the winning combination".

There are two main things I focus on when doing my makeup. My base and my lashes. If you get these two right, then your makeup is almost always going to look good. 

I remember applying to much mascara, having long spider leg type lashes and my face being three shades darker than my neck. Those days are long gone. As I've grown older, I have discovered more of what I really want out of my makeup. What I want to emphasise and what I need to play down, what works for me and what doesn't. 

At 20 something years of age, I am finally understanding that 10 layers of mascara does not work for me, in fact, it leaves me looking like my 16-year-old self. However, I know that a coat or two of my favourite mascara, a good eyelash curler and a natural yet wispy pair of lashes, can completely make my makeup look.

So, Here is my, ultimate guide to thick and fluttery lashes.




L'OREAL Volume Million Lashes Mascara So Couture, My lashes have dramatically changed over the years. I use to be able to wear any old mascara and they pretty much looked long and fluttery. However, these days I have to work a lot harder to create the look. When I originally tried this mascara I hated it, at that time it wasn't what I wanted. As of recent, I have been focusing much more on getting a lot of volume at the root of my lash, and since then, my lash game is completely changed. Instead of layering, coat after coat. I hold the mascara wand into the root of my lash, gently wiggling the brush side to side to build up the volume (just in the root) and seriously it has made my eyelashes appear so much thicker. I also find because I am only running the brush through the ends of my lashes once or twice, my lashes look fluttery and full but without any clumps. So being as the way I apply my mascara has changed, so has my taste in mascaras. This mascara has been my holy grail for the past few months. I'd recommend playing around with it a little before completely writing it off like I originally did. I am thinking of trying a few of the other Mascaras in this line.
If mascara doesn't quite cut it for you, then fake it till you make it! I don't tend to wear eyelashes that often anymore, but if I do I like them to be thick, fluttery yet natural. I prefer lashes without a band but I have different shapes and styles to show you. Two with bands and two without.


The first set of lashes are Red Cherry Lashes Style Wispy, I got sent this pair from Falseeyelashes.co.uk and seriously they had such a dreamy collection of lashes. However, I was just drawn to this pair. I must admit this pair is my favourite of the bunch. They are fluttery and natural and because they are band-free, they are flexible and mould to the eye seamlessly. They look very natural and full at the same time. These are my new favourite lashes! I'm a sucker for a wispy lash! They retail for £3.99, which is amazing! They go on smoothly and can easily be re-used, so I feel like your really getting your money's worth.


The second set of lashes are Red Cherry Lashes Style Molla, these were also sent to me from Falseeyelashes.co.uk. Luckily they let me pick two pairs of lashes that I would like.  Immediately after seeing this set, I just had to have them. I was convinced these would be my new go to lashes. Hmm, ok so they are gorgeous and easy to apply, but they were a little less flexible than the first pair making it the slightest and I mean the slightest bit harder to apply. However, I would repurchase these as they do look gorgeous, but I can't deny that the first pair of lashes were my fave. These lashes cost £3.99, which is really reasonably priced.

  
The third set of lashes are from Threads Beauty Style Charleston, these lashes and the 4th pair were both sent to me from Threads Beauty. This particular pair were the hardest to apply. I think these lashes would blend better if I wore eyeliner with them because the band is quite thick and noticeable. I found this particular set to be quite plasticky and not very flexible at all. However, if you are patient and are happy to play around with them, then they can look lovely, but it certainly was a little bit of a faff trying to get this style on. If you're a pro with lashes, it won't be a problem. These lashes retail at £9.00.


These are the last set of lashes and were sent to me from Threads Beauty, These were my second favourite pair. Whilst they are certainly still a little more faffy to apply, they do look beautiful when they are on. Also, although the band is still quite thick, I managed to wear them without eyeliner and they still looked seamless. For me, I like my lashes to be long, thick and fluttery, whilst still looking natural and these lashes did exactly that. They retail at £9.00, which I do think is a little steep, for that kind of money I want a pair of mink lashes that are re-usable. 

Also if you do like mink lashes then check out my friend's lashes Dollgoals she has so many beautiful lashes to choose from. She has everything from natural and wispy, to bold and beautiful
