Having fine, fair and rather lacklustre lashes, I'm a bit of a mascara junkie, accruing quite a collection from budget to high end and while, like with most beauty products and makeup, different people will get different results, I've found it's not necessarily the most expensive products that are the most impressive.
I've found Max Factor mascaras to be effective and dependable, with a good variety of different options depending on the results you are seeking, so when I received these as a gift from Max Factor, I was looking forward to discovering the benefits of this product over other mascaras I have.
The soft rose gold colour of the packaging is stylish and aesthetically pleasing, and the shape of the product feels nice in my hand but the mascara itself is a little lacklustre. Beautifully black, it applies easily but while it coats my lashes well and doesn't clump, even with several coats there is no noticeable increase in volume. You promised me volume Max Factor!
So, for a decent everyday mascara it's perfectly fine but it just didn't deliver in the volume stakes.

For some reason, I've never really considered Calvin Klein when purchasing perfume for myself. I think for my tastes it seemed a bit bland, lacking an edge. A bit corporate.
So, when I received Eternity For Women Flame for reviewing purposes, I was intrigued to see - and smell - whether this addition to the Eternity collection could sway my opinion.
The rosy amber tinted perfume is contained in a bottle which has crisp, clean lines, with no unnecessary fussiness, just strong, confident design elements - perhaps reflecting the woman this fragrance is aimed at.
Eternity For Women Flame had more depth than I was expecting, more rounded, without it being overly strong. There are subtle, spicy notes, lending an exotic air to a perfume you can wear daily. It's not as sensual as some other perfumes I wear but it has a certain touch of decadence which I do like.
Pleasantly impressed, and that's why it's good to always keep an open mind!

This Invigorating Skin Booster is infused with vitamin C, and extracts of kakadu plum and goji berry. Just a few drops massaged into the face instantly revitalises and brightens, leaving healthier looking, more radiant skin.
The zesty citrus fragrance instantly wakes you up and is a refreshing addition to my morning skincare regime. It can be used on its own before moisturiser or can be mixed into your moisturiser of choice to merge two skincare steps into one for energised, boosted skin.
