Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara - £22 - House of Fraser
My mum has definitely turned me into a make up snob, but it's just the best when your mum returns from holiday with cosmetics because she can't resist duty free! Anyway, read on for my attempt at being a beauty blogger.
My first impression of this mascara was that the brush is very similar to that of the L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion mascara that I owned a good while ago. I remember that working but was not really that impressed with this mascara. The brush is small so obviously it's very easy to use on your bottom and inside lashes. It separates lashes well but doesn't really add volume or length, I found the brush was too small to use on my top lashes and it would take a while to see a difference. I do, however, use the brush as a 'base' for my actual mascara and as a finishing touch in the corners etc. It is a true black which I like in a mascara and after wearing it for a day there was no flaking or smudging. For £22 I wouldn't buy this mascara again, but it's received mixed views, with a lot of people raving about it, so don't take my word for it!

I was shocked when I saw the strange wand, would never put sth like this near my eye!! xD I just prefer the standard drugstore mascaras, but I enjoyed pictures of your beautiful eyes ^^
Cute! Your eyes are gorgeous!
