No7 Lift & Curve Eyelash Curler

  
 
I have never used eyelash curlers, I've just never really got them! When I was a lot younger and wanted to put on a bit of make up to feel grown up, but never really saw crazy difference! Plus I would do it after applying mascara which is unheard of now! I bought this eyelash curler on a whim with a £5 off voucher. I've heard so much about the Shu ones but they are a crazy investment.

I have been really pleased with the results with these No7 curlers. I can see a noticeable difference in the curl and "flutter" of my lashes. The curl does last and I feel like I need to put in a lot less effort with my mascara as they've partly done the work for me!

If I was to rate these out of 5 I'd probably say 3.5. I do enjoy using them but I can help but feel there's better ones out there. Maybe because I've never been wowed by eyelash curlers I never will be but for now these are doing the trick.

Hope you're well!

No7 Spring Collection Vital Enlightening Highlighter Powder

No7 Spring Collection Vital Enlightening Highlight Powder £13.00 @ Boots

The No7 five pound vouchers are back and how could I resist not purchasing something from their spring collection! I have to admit I'm not the biggest No7 fan but this product really caught my eye, it's such a gorgeous colour! The new spring collection also includes some really gorgeous cream blushers and lipsticks I might have a look at next time I'm in Boots.

The powder is really soft and easy to apply and on my pale NW15 complexion it leaves a gorgeous golden glow. It isn't too stark on the face like some highlighters come across but it gives a really gorgeous glow to the cheeks. I could see this looking stunning dusted along the collar bones if you were really going "out there". The packaging is really cute and feels very chunky and sturdy. I apply the product with a MAC 188 brush for a lighter effect as I do think you can go a bit highlighter mad if your not careful!

The only thing that gets to me is the price! At £13.00 in my opinion thats an expensive product! With the voucher it came to £8.00 which is reasonable but still a bit on the steep side for a drugstore highlighter! I would say I probably wouldn't have purchased it without the voucher however they are running at the moment and it's definitely not a purchase I regret, I'm really enjoying using it.
