Review: Younique Moodstruck 3d Fiber Lashes

This Fiber lash mascara by Younique keeps popping up on my news feed, so I just had to give it a whirl.  


So is it Yeh or Neh?

What is it?
#1 transplanting gel 
It's a mixture of water, beeswax, Brazilian Palm glue, collagen and iron oxide. 

#2 natural fibers
100% green tea fibers 


How do you use it?
This is the best way I found to use it without any fallout. 
#1 curl your lashes 
#2 coat lashes in your own none waterproof mascara 
#3 use transplanting gel on tips only
#4 use fibers on the tips only and don't over do it or it will look like a total clusterf*ck 
#5 use a light coating of transplanting gel on the tips again
#6 lastly use a light coating of your own lengthing waterproof mascara to keep the lash curl, secure the fibers and separate the clumps, you can also use a pin for the separating. 


Disadvantages 
#1 A little time consuming 
#2 Over the top packaging, maybe if it was a more basic packaging it would bring the price down 
#3 The price at £23 might put some people off 
#4 Fallout under the eyes 





Yeh or Neh?
Yeh!!! Even though there are a few disadvantages and you need a lesson on how to use it best, the results are obvious. I love this mascara. I had been wearing the lash extensions so I was paranoid that my lashes where really short but this has helped me through my lack of lash dilemma. It really does lengthen and thicken the lashes. It's so much better than wearing false lashes and it doesn't damage your lashes. I will rebuy, and this will be added to my makeup bag for sure.

10 things not to do in the gym

I thought I was going to have to do some sort blog on that new year new you bullshit, but instead I thought I lighten the mood with my top ten gym fails and I've experienced every one of them. 



#2 Don't try and make conversation with me while I'm on the treadmill. I am already struggling to get oxygen into my lungs and anyways if you can talk and run on the treadmill you should be in cirque du soleil as you have amazing coordination. 




#3 Do not get caught checking out other girls, we know it's either "where'd she get thon gym gear" or "wtf she doing to get thon buttocks so perky" but if caught #epicfail

#4 Due to continuously choosing the wrong sports bra, you've either stiff nip or wondering tits both good reasons to ditch the workout. After all the girls need support. 

#5 The sniff test - whether your doing pull-ups, chest press or scissors (is that even a type), have a wee test of the underarm. #dontstink 

#6 Planning your gym workout around your leg hair growth. I know we don't like to admit it.... but we defo don't want to be doing those elastic band leg pully up things with your p/t on 3 day hair growth. Enough said 

#7 check in the mirror that le camel toe isn't making an appearance

#8 be careful that you check you don't have a visible thong through those cheap sweat pants 

#9 I'm sure there are a few that have experienced the dreaded ass or worse crotch sweat prints we leave on the machines after we've been doing some extreme workouts, just do what I do and swiftly swipe your towel over the seat just as your getting up. #dontleavethemachinedrippin

#10 While in high speed sprint Don't hit the emergency stop on the treadmills or you will end up in the next room.

Keep it neutral

I'm always drawn to a neutral palette, it's easy to wear when you want to look polished but not made up. 



                    











I'm in love with the Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics. It comes in 6 neutral shades, 5 matts and 1 soft shimmer. £22





Slightly obsessed with Nars blush in Orgasm, made with transparent pigments for a soft and sheer look, it's a beautiful peachy blush and Kim Kardashians personal favourite. Available from space.NK. Apotheory - £22.50 


 

For a bold pout that will give Kylie Jenner some competition try Urban Decays Revoultion lipstick in Rush and use with Urban Decay 24/7 glide on lip pencil that does not budge. It's a great combination for more defination with the slight colour difference. 



Urban Decay Revolution lipstick, Rush - £15
Urban Decay 24/7 glide on lip pencil, manic - £13 
Both available from www.debenhams.com

My Little Cosy Box



My next "Little box" which was Novembers turn (I know sorry I'm a little late) will make you want to just keep your Pj's on and stay in bed, for the whole month. The cosy box is full of  comforting surprises. 


The super cute polka dot heating pillow "My Little Bouillotte" by Tsumori Chisato is perfect for those chilly winter nights, just pop in the microwave for 5 mins and place it under your bed covers 10 mins before you get in. Or if you have any pets, do what I do and put it in their wee beds to keep them cosy. 

I just love this little hot chocolate mug, not too big so you won't completely overindulge.

 Now the mascara I know I had my reservations about the "My Little Beauty" range last month with the cleanser but this mascara "Mascara Soin Et Volume" is absolutely excellent, leaves your lashes pumped up with volume and wont smudge or smear under your eyes throughout the day. 

Crayon Eyeliner Ultra Tenue waterproof in 001 Noir. 
This is actually probably the best eyeliner I've used in a while. Lasted on my eyes from 7am-10pm (I know workaholic) without being topped up. I will be adding this to my overflowing makeup bag/room for sure. It's priced at £6.65 and is available to buy from


I had never even heard of this range before until I received this. Yves Rocher is a French company and is very affordable. I tried out the Intense Color Single eye shadow in Brun Cafe Mat. It's a creamy powder texture which has an intense, colour, easy to smoke out and long lasting considering it's only £13.20, but I checked their web site http://www.yves-rocher.co.uk/control/main/ and they are having a -50% sale so you can buy it for £6.60. Check out this web site it's defiantly worth a look.
