Mascara test -1 l'oreal vs. Mybelline!

So after purchasing these two mascaras this summer i thought i would do a test with them to try and tell which really does what it says and gives the best results in my opinion! :O)

SO first mascara i will be testing is the Maybelline Lash Stiletto. This mascara claims to be the ultimate length mascara and give black patent shine. I do love the packaging and concept of this mascara the way it is shaped in a stiletto and claims to give patent shine ! :)

Next is l'oreals voluminous mascara. This mascara claims to give 5x more volume without clumping and be a conditioning formula. Lots of gurus such as laura aka lollipop26 have been boasting about this claiming it is a complete dupe for YSL's Fauc Cills ,asca- which i love but have run out of :((

So first we have L'oreals Voluminous mascara on the Left eye. this mascara seems to go on nicely but goes all over my lid when i put it on .

i do like the length and the volume it gives without beeing too clumpy after about 4 coats!!

soo (Y) thumbs up , for what it claims to doo. so 5/5!

Then Maybelline's lash Stiletto on the right eye. this mascara gives nice length but i do find it quite painful as the bristles always seem to catch my eye as applying! ://

But the mascara does seem to give a nice length as it claims. although i would not consider it ULTIMATE length it does give a subtle length. so all in all for what it claims 3/5

Heres a photo with my eyes wearing both. L'oreals on the left and MAybelline on the right. I would have to say that i prefer L'oreals as it gives off more lenghth AND volume which is what i like ! :)

While i prefer L'oreal's i do like Maybelline's as well.

i would definitely say that this is a mascara which is good for the day.

it doesn't give of as much volume just length really. :)

But all in all i would have to say that both have become my favourites and had bought a backup even of voluminous for when i runn out! :)

i do prefer applying the maybelline one first then doing a generous coat of L'oreals on top then MAybelline again ! :)

To get the look i want , as after applying the voluminous it does tend to clump and by using the lash stiletto on top it un clumps tmy lashs because of the spaced out bristles! :)))

lots of love tashxx

late night shoppin'

So after just starting school and coming back from summer with a bit of spare change, well Spare change i thought i felt that pampering would be the best possible way forward :D

So me and the bf's went out and spent the doshhh :)

So we started off in Cotton on; one of my Favourite stores in all time! I think it is originally based in Australia but has just opened 3 stores in Hong Kong and around Asia. Now almost EVERYONE you know wheres their clothes. I really would recommend you guys check the store out if ever your in Asia or Aus. Theres almost Never i walk out without seeing clothes that i would love to get.. so on with the purchases...

1. A gorge simple black dress, -which goes in at the bust. It has pretty detailing around the bust but you cant really see it on the photos with some pretty beige lace around the bust and bottom. This was on sale from $ 330 HK to $ 150 Hk! bargain!

2. Black braid belt- $50!

3. Next was this very loose low cut t-shirt.- i love the design on the front and think it will go quite nicely with a short pencil skirt as it is so loose. I will have to wear a strapy top underneath as it is soo loose around. $99 HK!

4. Two very basic v-neck t-shirts - got them mainly for running as they re so soft and almost have a dri -fit feeling to themm:) 2 for $99- originally $99 each :)


5. Simple casual washed out polyester shorts- these are for a very casual day at home , or would be great for the Beach! :) $ 99HK

6. detailed skirt- a basic skirt will be good for again a casual day in :) $75 from $130 HK!

7. Peace sign top- i will probs wear this as a PJ topp :) i love it its really funn and sofft :)

$ 99 HK

So after Cotton i had spent about $600 something dollars, i do feel that is a reason able price considering how much i had bought :) so i STILL had more and decided to head over to Steve MAdden as they had some great new shoes :)

1. BOOGLE - studded suede shoes in Taupe , they also had black but i like this colour :)-

these i was told are one of Steve Maddens Best sellers!

and when i hear some good news like that i had to get them :)

i love them, they are like gladiators with a more punk-ish twist:)

Just be warned that if you want to order them online dont get your actual size as they are very big sizes in this style. i am normally a 37 EU but in this case i was a 38 :? These weere $650 HK

2. BALIAA- Next werer these gorg black purple and cream sandles- they look kind of tribalish to mee:) they also had them in white but i tohught black would be easier to wear:) these were $250 HK from $$445!

So this was quite a long posttt... but just though id show you some new things i had gotten this week as i havent rally been posting this week :/ naughty naughty ! :)

lots of love tashxx

Mac anyone?

So today i went to MAC and used my free makeover:) the pics below are my end results and FOTD's :)

The MA asked me to choose a eyeshadow to use from the Love That Look collection.

I ended up choosing the Smoke and diamonds as i don't have a eyeshadow quite like it yet.

She then chose two other colours that complemented it and created a really pretty smokey look.

The end result as it makes my blue eyes really 'pop' because she used such as similar silver colour as my eyes a highlight . Although the photos don't really justify the end result i am pleased :)

FOTD:

FACE:

-Benefit you rebel lite

- MAC studio finish concelar NW20

- MAC select moisture cover concelar NW20

- YSL touch eclat no.2

- Benefit Dandelion

EYES:

-MAC smoke and diamond all over

- MAC Carbon in crease

-MAC -silver shadow all over again

- MAC smolder eye khol eyeliner

- l'oreal voluminous mascara

- Gosh velvet touch eyeliner , 001 BLue moon

LIPS:

-Gosh darling

- BArry M - 101

- Revlon cherries in the snow 440

I jst could'nt resist buying it as alot of people with blue eyes had been praising sayin it brings the colour of theirs out:)

And as a little pressie i got a free generous size of 'cleanse oil off' - make up remover which works suprisingly very well to remove waterproof mascara!




Im so sorry the flast on this photo does not at all show the prettiness of the shadow. It is almost a brown with silver undertowns- or vise versa:/

im very excited to try it out soo we shall see!

lots of love tash xx

This Weeks IN's and OUT's:

IN's:

• Boots cucumber wipes-They are really good for their price and arent sore on the eyes even if i use waterproof mascara (Y)- They were on 3 for 2 at the boots in heathrow so stocked upp:)
• MAC's Angel lipstick-This has probably been my most used l/s throughout the whole summer, i have made myself like it as before i thought it was too pink for school but now i think i'll be ok:)
• L'oreal's Voluminous mascara- This has got to be my new favourite drugstore mascara! so thanks lollipop26!:) I just stocked up again with an extra at the airport as you cant get ANY good drugstore makeup in Asia:(
• Abercrombie & Fitch's Fierce Cologne- From the minute i walked into their shop in London i HAD to know what it was they sprayed in their shop and it smelt amazing! so i got one in the 50ml, A&F is always tempting to spend in lol;) Although it is meant for a man i find it to be a more feminine smell, and its unlike any other perfume i have so... :)
• Nails Inc polish in - Knightsbridge- It is the prettiest coral to wear in summer on the toes i have already used the colour twice in a row:)

My dream...

This little cutie below is the one birthday present thatcould last for years,

they are Apricot Toy Poodles. I

am still begging for one every day but the rents say that it would be hard to train them as a pup but i want one sooooo bad.:(

Prefrebly the poodle on the left, every time i go into a pet shop i literally start to cry because they are sooo cute and wining too:(

But now let me introduce to you to Oscar or Osk or ever Osky:) i love very very much:)

he never barks (odly) , bittes and is such a gentle little thing hes 8 i think and is a rescue from a pound:)

We have had him for 4 years now and is srill not the best behaved dog you'll mmeet but i love him

:
)

when we first got him he ran away up a mountain for two days and thats when we thought that was the end of him:( But now hes alrigh.:)

I was wondering if you could recomend some Dog names if i ever do get a toy poodle:)

I love the name that Anna from the Style Diet called her Maltesse- Albi- for apricot, but i think that will be copying too muchh:/

These are the only names i have ocme up with :)

Girls:

• LuLu

Boys:

• ----

YOu can clearly see i have NOT got many ideas for names:/So this would help alot

I will keeep you updated if i do end up getting a cutie for my birthday in November!:)

cross fingers:D

lots of love Tashxx

role models :)

Lauren conrad-LC

i love her style her trademark pieces that you will see in almost every picture of her are her big sunnies and high waisted skirts:) i love simple but chic.:)

I have really changed my mind about Collen afterreading her first book,'Welcome to my world" , she included lots of pics of her and many photos look really pretty and she is almost alyways wearing nice clothes.

then after just starting her new book that i bout today 'real style' she has become my presonal stylist haha she gives soo many tips in it and writes all in depth.

one of her rules is comfy is best.

i love her laid back look [pic below]

Katie holmes- one of the reasons i love her is that she shows she really is a good mum, almost all the photos i see of her she is with her daughter Suri. and i love her look allthough the right pic of her above i dont like.:/


Hope you guys liked this and feel free to do one too :)

new purchasessss yaayy!:)

Primark-

Well to start the day me and my sister headed off to primark :) had a look around and to be honest there was NOTHING that really caught our eyes :(
but to be honest i went in there to really get another bag for school and thats what i came out with :)
( so far this summer iv bought 8 bags :O )
the bag was 6 quid and the bracelet a pound :O - they are pearls and little bead ones ;) so all in all primark was a bargain . happy about that:)

WHS
Next stop smiths or WHS :) we headed in to stock up on some new school goodies:) i was quite upset because smiths always have nice pencil cases apart from the times i NEED one:(
so ended up getting a plastic flower one - exciting haha.

i then found a cute collection of monsters and got a note book and pen too match.

while in there i had a look at the books and found Collen's real style which i had been looking for for agess. i love her, she is such a good role model for kids and i dont find her your typicall WAG.

then found a book called pretty things by sarah manning which is meant to be a fun girly book so we shall see :)

Superdrug-
bought 3 dazzle dust in 25, 44 and 89 . the swatches are beneath and i like them all - they are my first dazzle dusts- hangs head in shame:)

then got the nail pain in 305- pink flamingo which is very pretty sorry no pic but will soon paint my whole nails with it

and then finally got the mabelline lash stilleto. i like this as it gives length but im n0t sure if im the only one but the brush seems too hurt my eyes:/




swatches- L-R Barry m dazzle dusts no. 25, 44, 89


so thats it all :( my last day shopping in London for a whole YEAR :O! :(
