Beauty Inside Art

If I had to choose only one makeup product to use for the rest of my life it would certainly be mascara. I find that when I wear mascara, it instantly changes my face, it makes me look more awake and prettier. Since, mascara is such an important step in my makeup routine, I'm always on the search for the best one. Recently, my sister gave me the Avon Super Shock Max Mascara in Black and I have been using it ever since. It has a dry formula and a huge wand. After using it for a couple of months the product gets a lot drier, thus resulting in clumpier lashes. I'd definitely say that it adds more volume than length, as you can see from the photo above. In the top picture my lashes are completely au naturel and underneath my lashes have one coat of the mascara, without curling or brushing them. One coat is usually what I opt for on a regular basis, but for a night out two coats is also good. I wouldn't recommend adding more than two coats, as it would simply make the lashes clumpy and unnatural. My ideal mascara gives me length and volume, but still looks natural. I really dislike unnatural, thick and clumpy lashes and sometimes black can look quite odd against my light skin-tone. I think it's around €10 and for that price you can't really complain as the typical price tag for a high-street / drugstore mascara is around €15. I should also add that I have naturally long lashes, so most  of the time mascaras tend to look good on me. They simply dye my naturally blond lashes, giving me the length that's already there. In addition, this isn't waterproof, at all. This is definitely not my favourite mascara, but it's good enough. I don't think this is a product that I would repurchase any time soon, though.

This Oriflame makeup bag has been in the first drawer of my desk for about six months. The majority of the products have stayed the same, throughout that time. My desk is where I normally apply my makeup on a daily basis. The rest of my makeup is kept next to my bed in an IKEA organiser (Makeup Organisation post here). Since the rest of my makeup has some distance from my desk, that a lazy girl like me doesn't like, I keep a bag with my go-to makeup products for easy access. So today, I will be sharing with you what these products are and why I use them so often.

I'll just start with the biggest in size and move to the smaller items. Firstly, I have a burgundy top from Bershka to show you all. You can't see the actual shape and design of the fabric because it's folded in the photo above. I might do a collective haul video for my youtube channel, which I've sort of abandoned, and there you would see me wearing it. Let me know if would want the haul video. I got it in a small size but it's quite flowy and it was 15 Euro. In addition it's 100% Polyester and it has 3 silver studs.

I've been wanting to get something with a monochrome print for ages! There was a pair of leggings with vertical black and white lines that I wanted to get from Terranova, but when I went to buy them, they were sold out. The girl at the counter introduced me to another monochrome print, which I loved. This resulted in me buying the pair of leggings shown above in a print that I can only describe as an abstract aztec. Size small again, and I paid 10 Euro.
