New Benefit Roller Lash Mascara!

Hola people!

I recently bought Elle Magazine and the freebie included was the new Benefit 'Roller Lash' Mascara. I pick up the magazine on the odd occasion, however I'd already seen amazing reviews of the mascara from other beauty bloggers and wanted to try it for myself. So seeing it as the months freebie with a mag that I like to buy was a bonus!

I have always wanted natural, gorgeous, lengthy Marilyn Monroe type lashes (I'm sure I'm not the only one!). ;) I've never really had particularly long lashes and have tried too many mascaras to try and fluff em' up and make me feel more glam, but there's only ever been a select few that ever worked particularly well. I remember trying lots of mascara's when I was in Year's 10 and 11 at school and quickly discovered that awful moment when you apply too much and it looks like your lashes are thick spiders legs and you try to wipe the excess off but you just didn't do it properly and end up taking clumps of lashes out...!! *And breeeeathe* What a horrifying make-up moment. Though, you'll be pleased to know that I immediately got out of the habit of over loading the lashes and have since, never encountered a spider-leg-lash moment. *thumbs up* ;)

The mascara I usually use is Bellapierre (one I got from a previous Glossybox) and while it's so brilliant, I have to say, the new Benefit Mascara is bloody amaaaaaziiiiing! Honestly, the curl on those babies! No more non-existent eye-lashes for moi! 

The mascara is so light when applied. I've used it every time with my make-up since buying it and it has never had that horrible clumpy consistency that some mascaras have! The specially shaped wand does exactly as promised. It rolls your lashes brilliantly and fans them out to give such a glamorous but natural look. Your lashes end up looking fab for hours! This will be a definite must buy for my make-up bag and I dare any make-up lover to not love it! :)

If you've tried the new mascara yourself, let me know what you thought of it in the comments below! 

Until then, Rock On!

Plus-Size Novelty Knickers!

Hola people! 

Knickers to you too! As a plus-size woman, I sometimes find it difficult to find fun novelty knickers. I'm a size 20-22 and while there are amazing stores such as Yours Clothing and Evans for us plus-size babes, I find they don't always do the awesomely quirky (and affordable) knicks that you find in places like Primark. I've been lucky on a few occasions and found a size 20 in Primark's knicker range, however I'm always disappointed when those sizes are barely stocked. 

So...imagine my complete and utter excitement when I find that George, Asda, have bigger knicker sizes in what can only be described as 'Purely Frickin' Awesome Undies!!' 

On offer at 3 for £6, I couldn't turn down the option of Disney underwear and who, tell me, could resist batman knickers?! Not meeeeee! Check them out!

I'm a big fan of Asda clothing in general as they tend to have many clothes in sizes 20, 22 and sometimes some in 24 and up. Their quality is great and one thing that makes me love them even more is that no matter the size, they always have suitable styles for the variety of ages. Some plus-size ranges (such as Rogers+Rogers in Matalan) tend to do a lot of plus size clothing that would only typically suit the older woman. While that's brilliant, it's not always nice to be a young woman wearing something that would suit your 50 year old mum better than you, just for the sake that it comes in your size. So, Asda is win win for me! :)

Of course, if you're not plus size, Asda do the above knickers in all the usual sizes, so go and grab them if you love them too! 

Until next time, Rock On!
