Review: Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

Hello everyone!

Today I'm going to be reviewing the new(ish) Urban Decay Perversion mascara.

Perversion came out earlier this year and claims that it can give you 'bigger, blacker, badder lashes'.

With this purchase, I also received a free sample of the Subversion lash primer. I've heard so many good

things about this mascara and the fact that Kim Kardashian wore it on her wedding day made me just

want to buy it for that reason! Today I'm going to tell you whether this mascara and primer live up to their

expectations. 

When I first heard about this mascara, I wasn't actually very fussed about it. Probably because I hadn't seen

any advertising for it or seen many people even review or talk about it. A few months ago whilst I was having

a look round Urban Decay for something else, the guy at the counter kept pushing this mascara on me and I

just wasn't interested. He said how Kim Kardashian wore it on her wedding day and how great of a mascara

it is. I don't usually buy into all the stuff people at counters say as it's their job to try and sell you the product

whether it's good or not. I will just leave it and research the product for myself. So that's what I did. I found

out that Kim Kardashian did actually wear it at her wedding (which kinda did sell it to me) and I did see some

quite good reviews. I had a coupon code for 20% off so just went ahead and bought it and see if it is actually worth it.

Firstly, the packaging on this mascara is so simple, sleek and pretty. I love the gunmetal colour with the pop of

purple on it. The primer packaging is also very simple and sleek which I love.

The Subversion primer really helps get your lashes ready for the mascara. It separates and lengthens your lashes
so well and just gets them prepared for the mascara. I forgot to picture it after with just the primer on I'm afraid. I personally feel like it really makes a difference. I really feel like you need to use this before the mascara to be
able to get the most out of the mascara itself. 

You can see the difference on how much longer my lashes are. This is probably in my opinion the best mascara 
I've ever used. My lashes are longer and separated and really make my eyes look more defined. I have used the
mascara with out the primer and I don't feel like I get the same effect unfortunately. When I use the primer I
only need one coat of it and one coat of the mascara and I'm satisfied. Whereas, if I use the mascara alone I will
need a few more coats to get the same effect and my lashes aren't as separated without the primer. 

Overall, I really like this mascara and will definitely be repurchasing it. The only thing is, I will have to repurchase
the primer also as I feel like it makes such a difference. At £17, it's a bit pricey but you do get the free primer and
I'm yet to see how long it lasts me. So far I've had it for about a month and I still feel like I've got tons of product
left, so I'm pretty happy with my purchase!

June Favourites

Hey guys!

It's the beginning of July (crazy!) which means it's time to share my June favourites with you.

I haven't really tried out any new products through June so I haven't got many favourites this month,

but I did pop into Boots and Superdrug recently to get some products I've been wanting to try out so

hopefully I'll have a bit more to show you next month!

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Excess Mascara

This was something I bought a little while back, I just never opened it for some reason. But I found it going

through all my make-up s thought I'd start finally using it and I am SO glad I did. It's definitely my new

favourite mascara. I don't like my lashes to look too fake. I like them to look quite natural and this mascara

is perfect for that. It doesn't clump, it's not gloopy and it doesn't dry out in a week, which is something

that annoys me about a lot of mascaras.

Garnier Pure Active Purifying Toner

This is a toner I use quite regularly. It's for spot prone skin (which mine is) and it helps dry out the spot

without drying out your whole face!

Real Techniques Blush Brush

I've had this brush for quite a long time now. I've always used it for blush as it is a blush brush.

But recently, I've started using it for bronzer and I'm really liking the outcome. I usually use the

big powder brush for bronzer but I feel this one is just a lot better for bronzer.

Nivea Pearl Beauty Gentle Care 48h Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

This is a bit of a random one but  but I just wanted to mention it as I've seen a lot of people talking

about stick deodorants recently and want to share my thoughts. I usually use spray deodorants as

I never really thought of using stick ones. But I wanted to switch it up and try something different so

I picked up this one and I'm instantly converted! I don't think I'll ever use a spray deodorant again. This feels

like it's actually working and keeping my under arms moisturised as well as I feel like some other

deodorants can leave it feeling quite dry. Really recommend trying something like this if you haven't before.

Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion (Fair to Medium)

I know I featured this in my last favourites but I do REALLY love it. It gives a lovely glow and looks

very natural. It's pretty much idiot proof as well. It doesn't leave streaks or patches (as long as you

apply it evenly). I'm just really happy with this purchase and loved it so much I wanted to show it

to you twice!

L'Oreal Paris True Match Foundation (N2 Vanilla)

This foundation is very highly talked about. I can see exactly why! This particular shade I usually
only wear when I'm more tanned and recently I have been because of the good weather. I really
love the coverage it gives and how flawless it looks. I think I'm going to go and purchase one a few shades
lighter just so I can use it all year round because I have really been loving this foundation a lot recently.
Plus it's inexpensive and L'Oreal usually have offers on.
