Mascara

Magnetic Lash

If I could only choose two products from my make-up bag, that would be concealer (no one has perfect skin, huh?) and mascara. My eyes are naturally quite big, but as a glass wearer, they tend to appear much smaller and I really dislike that - so in order to make my lashes look fuller and longer I used to apply a few coats of mascara, making my eyelashes look clumpy and spidery (which I confess I love, but not for everyday). Being as picky as I am with mascara, I was more than pleased when I came across Santhilea's Magnetic Lash - a simple 3 step application system that makes your eyelashes look full and flirty. Even though the application may sound as a mission, it's quite fast and easy once you get used to it: firstly, apply Magnetic Lash in the usual way, as you would do with a mascara; while the lashes are still wet, dab gently Lash Builder evenly from base to tips and let it dry slightly. Finally, reapply as desired Magnetic Lash as a top coat. Magnetic Lash is not a heavy paint, and despite the three steps, it's easier to remove than ordinary mascaras as it won't smear across your face.Magnetic Lash holds the curl beautifully and keeps your lashes in good condition - its formula contains Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E to nourish and condition, supporting natural lash growth.

At The Amazing Blog we've never tried such a great lash product - it delivers volume and length, it doesn't budge or move and holds the curl like nothing else. Magnetic Lash is truly super-volumizing and lengthening.

Magnetic Lash retails at £24.99 and can be purchased through their website.  If you're used to buying your mascara from the high street, we understand that the price tag might scare you, but at The Amazing Blog we highly recommend this amazing product, you won't look back!

 

 

Oy! Volumising Mascara

So you’re a frequent buyer of organic food and have dabbled in Fairtrade cotton, but have you ever thought about trying organic makeup? Us girls at Amazing PR certainly hadn’t until we came across the fabulous Green People. A stickler for the same brand, I’m guilty as charged for being about as unadventurous as they come with my make-up. Neither hell nor highwater can convince me to stray from my tried and tested beauty staples, and a trusted line being discontinued is my idea of hell. However, as I do like to immerse myself in a world of all things green, I ventured away from my Maybeline to try the new volumising mascara from OY! (Organic Young), winner of Natural Health Beauty Award. Applying it in a zig-zag motion means it volumises the lashes and spreads them naturally apart keeping them clump free, and as we all know, clumpy mascara is a huge no-no! My eyes also have a tendency to water at the slightest breeze which can make my mascara run, so it was a breath of fresh air to find that with Organic Young it didn’t!

 

Organic Young contains no Parabens, Phthalates, Mercury, Petrochemicals or Synthetic colourants so it is truly the most natural mascara that can be offered. It also contains Shea Butter and Almond oil which condition the lashes throughout the day (and night!) I’m all a-flutter just thinking about it!
