Worth The Hype #1

It has been a while since I have blogged about a few products I really, really think are worth the hype that are surrounding them. I have picked just three products today that I own and truly love.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette
I think the Urban Decay Naked palette family is hugely well - known in the beauty blogging community, and I have to hold my hands up and say I love them too! This is my favourite eyeshadow palette of all time. The colours suit my skin tone so well, and the shadows are so easily wearable any time. I find the eye shadows great quality which do not crease after a long day. 

Burberry Fresh Glow Nude Radiance No. 01
This is a great luminous base product which is good to use as a highlight or to use all over the face underneath or on-top of foundation. Although it is quite an expensive investment, it does help to brighten the face in a really natural way. I definitely think it is worth the hype.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate in 101
This is probably one of my favourite lipsticks of the year. It is a great matte lipstick which doesn't cling to chapped lips and the colour lasts really well without bleeding. I absolutely love the colour and I really want to try a lot more of the shades in the Kate lipstick range from Rimmel!

Product Rave: Stila Fiber Optics Mascara

Stila 'Fiber Optics' Mascara in Brown

You know when sometimes you come across a make-up product that is so fabulous you cannot express how much you love it?

This is it. This Stila mascara is probably the best mascara I have ever purchased. I have had this a long while now, I do believe it is now discontinued but I have found a couple on eBay which I plan to buy once this has run out.

As you can see from the photographs, the brush is quite thick and large. It applies well, thickens and lengthens the lashes, separates the lashes and does not clump your eyelashes together when building it up.

The formula is truly great, it lasts on my lashes ALL DAY. 

I don't usually tend to go for brown mascaras, but I got this on a whim and am really impressed, as I never even thought how more natural it looks for me! 

(Hopefully you can tell by the quality of the photographs that I now have a new camera! Its a Nikon camera. I can't remember the actual name of the model but I will find the box out later and fill it in here. It is amazing how much better quality a DSLR camera is compared to my old and battered digital camera - although that is in the process of being fixed so I shall be using both!)

What is your go-to mascara?
