Hey Abbie's Beauties :)
Finally, a new make-up look! It's been agggesss... 
As one of my friends in work is getting married this summer, I was inspired to do a wedding makeup look. 
I got inspired by the simplicity of Bella Swans make-up from the Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn! I love the hint of colour on the corner of her eyes, with a smoky lid.. very sultry and sexy without too much. As i think less is more on your wedding day! As for the lips... The natural Collection Lipsticks are £1!!!!! They are so so so moisturising and go on the lips so smooth and pigmented. The staying power of the lipstick is amazing too.. Got to have a good lipstick with all the kisses you will be giving on your wedding day including the most important one! <3
I hope you like this make-up look :)

Reveiw - Benefit 'They're Real!' Mascara...


The packaging.. For the price I thought it would be a bit more glamorous like the Mascara it's self! I think the 'before and after' photographs are not showing the exact results at all, and it's clear that there are false eyelashes involved!


Do you think of the stats are correct?


The packaging of the actual mascara however, I REALLY like! It's slim, hard wearing and metallic. Again, another negative, it's a bit small.. How much product am I going to get for my money?





Hey, My Beauty's!
They're Real! I totally agree with this mascara when it says it gives you root to tip curl and lift, but, I can't see the dramatic length and volume, I feel like the plastic, stiff, skinny wand head to thin and spaced out to give volume. I also think the mascara dries quickly which makes it difficult to build it too a more dramatic full look.
Overall.. I'm not convinced this is a must have mascara for me, it's just average.
