Perversion - Urban Decay

It's always fun to mix up your makeup look and here at The Amazing Blog, we love to find new make up products to use, so when Urban Decay's newest launch arrived in our office we were thrilled to test it out.

Mascara is definitely an essential to a makeup look and lashes are made to be noticed, so we can all flicker our eyes! The Urban Decay mascara perversion has a large wand so you can lengthen the lashes, creating volume and glamour. This black mascara will have you addicted to its high tech brush that separates your lashes whilst giving you the control to build up coats for a super black wide-eyed effect. The mascara has an ultra-creamy formula, so it glides effortlessly through, leaving clump free lashes and the highly pigmented shade is perfect to finish a dramatic smokey eyed look. 

Like Urban Decay says: for a "bigger, blacker and badder" look, why not try this mascara available here for £17.50.

Le Baume- Féret parfumeur

The balm boasts its formula hydrates, repairs and soothes lips, with impressive main ingredients including Sesame seed oil, Shea butter and Beeswax which combine to create a smooth, silky texture for those kissable lips.The first thing we noticed was its luxurious scent of Honey and dandelion, a scent that transfers subtly on the lips too, and is perfect all year round.
