Two Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascaras | Mascara Comparison

Today I would like to show you two mascaras I have at the moment, which come from the Rimmel Scandaleyes range. One of them is the green one, which I've already had three times. It's full name is Scandaleyes Lycraflex Mascara. I am actually running out of the one in the pictures below so yesterday while shopping at ASDA I just decided to quickly grab a mascara and I just took the black and orange Volumeflash Scandaleyes Mascara in Extreme black. They seemed quite identical to me so I thought why not take one?

After using the new one only once I can tell a little difference and decided to tell you a teeny bit about it.

The first difference is obviously the name and colour of the packaging, but the shape of it is the same. Also, the price is nearly the same as far as I know. However, I found that you can't see find the green one too often lately, which makes me a bit sad.

The wands look identical I'd say. You can tell that the orange one has more product on it as it is a brand new one, and the green one is nearly empty, as I've said before.


Now, this is a picture I've taken some time ago, using the green Lycraflex mascara and I was always very please by the effect it did. My lashes looked definitely longer and a lot thicker! They also looked a bit as if I've used a lash curler before, but I didn't, and the mascara was strong enough to keep my lashes up all day long. Perfect! Long lashes, enough volume but not too extreme and visible effect for hours. That's everything you need ( or I need ) in a mascara. Also, I applied only one coat of mascara.

This is a picture I just took some minutes ago, wearing the black and orange Scandaleyes mascara. My lashes are long and separated but don't have too much of the volume, that this mascara actually promises with it's title. My lashes are still in the position they've been this morning, which is great.
Also here, I only applied one layer of the mascara.
It seems to me that my lashes look more natural now as the mascara doesn't give that volume to them, so that they look thinner.

I am not too sure which result I like better, but the new mascara can also dry out a bit with time and maybe it will get a bit clumpier and leave my lashes a bit more voluminous than just now. We'll see how much I'll enjoy using this mascara until a new one will be needed.

What do you think? There is not a big difference between these two, just the volume one. Which one do you prefer? And have you tried any of these two mascaras?

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water | Review

Image
Today I finally decided to write a short review about the Garnier Micellar water, that many girls consider as a dupe of the Bioderma cleanser. I've been using this product for about a month or so now and I think it is about time to let you know what I, personally think about it. What information is given about the product: *good for sensitive skin * hypoallergenic * no perfume * removes make-up, cleanses, soothes * 200 uses 1) As you can see, I've used nearly half of the bottle and it says that it lasts for 200 uses. I've probably not even used it 40 times yet and it doesn't really look as if I could use it for 160 more uses. Of course, I know that this number is just an average number, but still, I think that it could be used for about 100 times, more than 200 to be honest. If I use it, then I use two small cotton pads, so I also don't use too much of the cleanser itself. It is strong, because one cotton pad takes off the make up of half of my face,

Christmas Wishlist In October?!

Image
When I was a child I used to write my wishlists for Christmas already in October. I have no idea why, but I thought it was a good thing to write down all my dream gifts as early as possible, as by Christmas I'd already forget all of them and I would remember them again when it was already too late. So, I still like to write down what I'd like to buy myself, what I'd like to put money aside for, or what I'd like to get for Christmas or my Birthday. I totally hate it when people ask me what I'd like to get and I just can't think of anything, even though there are always some small things I dream of.. Well, today I thought I could share five ideas for Christmas, that would make me extremely happy if I got them (or bought myself). 1) I would like to have a new bag for College. I have one at the moment, the GABS one, but it is too colourful to wear it with every outfit, which totally annoys me. But this is my only big bag, and I need a big one because I nee

Ziaja Body Lotion Review

Image
Hi again! A few weeks ago I already posted a photo on my Instagram ( which is here ), where I showed the 4 Ziaja body lotions I got to try and when I saw their generous packaging my first thought was: When will I use these all? But I was very happy about that because I got to find out which one is my favourite and which one I like using more on certain days etc. Thanks to the big choice I can also stay away from buying even more body lotions, which is great! ( I'm so into body lotions, it's crazy) The 3 bottles are 400ml each and they are from the Cocoa butter , Goat's milk and Natural Olive range.  The Coconut lotion comes in a 200ml packaging, so it's good for taking it on holidays or on a sleepover etc.  To give you an idea of these products I will quickly talk you through them. Let's start with the Olive range: It moisturises your skin thoroughly and leaves it silky soft and smooth. What is also great about it, is that it can even be use
