Recently, Artie were kind enough to sponsor me with the Dollywink Volume Mascara...


It came really quickly and was perfectly packaged. I also appreciated the business card, which I always think is a nice touch

I love the packaging of the Dollywink products, they never fail to impress in my opinion - the mascara comes in a plastic case which stands up so you can proudly display it in your collection

So what about the mascara?

 without
with

It's a little clumpy without a eyelash comb to help separate the lashes but it does definitely make them look thicker (it supposedly separates your lashes and makes them thicker). I was hoping for a different effect on my top lashes to be honest, as I can't always use a comb on them and clumpy lashes are a big no-no for me. Even so it worked nicely on my lower ones.

It blends a lot better with make-up...

Looks much better once the lashes have been tidied up, no?

Well it boosts that it's long-lasting and waterproof, both of which are attributes that I can say are true. I never had any trouble with it fading during the day, and I even managed to have a shower without it removing. That said, it does remove easily with make-up remover or wipes so don't worry.
The mascara wand is nothing extraordinary but I did like that it had an ultra fine tip on the brush so that you can use it on your lower lashes and the outer corners - good thinking!

Want some for yourself?

Check out my room!

Thank you to all of those who entered the poll - and for those of you who didn't, well you still can!


As some of you who follow my twitter may know I was given a very small baggage allowance by my university when travelling to Paris - ONLY 14KG!! I swear my suitcase weighs about 4kg by itself...so I had to pack lightly!
Then when I got to Paris I was placed in a rather awkward accommodation situation...But you have to make the best of things, right?
So anyway, how about taking a peek at my room & some of the stuff I took?!

What's in my make-up bag?

[click images to enlarge] 

Well that's my make-up bag - It's from the Japanese brand 'Swimmer', and was a present from my boyfriend who knows I love their items. They're not a Gal brand but they stock plenty of cute things that appeal to a lot of Japanese girls, regardless of their fashion choices. 

So what's inside??


Skin
  1. Natural Collection face powder (need more!)
  2. Collection 2000 Concealer
Lip
  1. Carmex
  2. Happy Bath Day lipgloss
  3. MAC 'Quite Cute' lip pencil
  4. MAC 'Lady Gaga' nude lipstick
  5. Anna Sui 'Dolly Girl' lipstick
  6. Jill Stuart lipstick
  7. Chanel lipstick
  8. Chanel lipcare stick
  9. Maxfactor 'vibrant curve effect' lipgloss
Eyes
  1. Barry M bronze 'dazzle dust'
  2. CANMAKE eyeshadow base
  3. Chanel eyeshadow palette
  4. CANMAKE 'Gradation Wink' eyeshadow
  5. Dolly Wink grey & pink eyeshadow palette
  6. Dolly Wink eyelash case
  7. Maxfactor gold & silver eyeliner
  8. Benefit highlighter pencil
  9. Maxfactor kohl pencil
  10. Maxfactor 'xperience volumising' mascara
  11. KATE liquid liner pencil
  12. Dolly Wink pencil & liquid liner
Cheek
  1. CANMAKE cream cheek
  2. CANMAKE powder cheek



For those of you who remember my original post, you'll notice that my 'everyday' collection (I alternate items, I don't wear them all at once haha) has expanded.
I have more palettes, lipsticks/glosses etc. that I keep in another case (& my handbag) but these are my usual go-to items!!
I still don't use foundation because I want to take care of my skin, but lately I have been thinking of going back to it (after 3 years - shock, horror!).

You'll also notice that I was such a big fan of some of the items that I have continued to buy and use them. That means I really do love them, as I am constantly buying new products and chucking out old ones!
