Product Rave: Blink + Go Long Lasting Mascara

As a bona fide mascara junkie, when this popped up in a Glossybox a couple of months ago I was so excited to try it. 

I've been meaning to rave about this particular mascara for ages, but for some reason kept putting it off. But here we are, and it's still a raver! 

The wand is a slightly tapered bristle brush which I prefer and does a good job of coating the lashes. The overall finish of the mascara is long, separated lashes that are perfect for everyday wear, you won't get masses of volumes or drama but if I'm going "natural" this is the perfect compromise. 

So, what makes this product a rave?

This has been my gym saviour. I'm not the sort of girl to go completely bare faced to the gym. I don't go with a face full of slap, but brows and lashes are a must. I usually hit the pool/sauna/jacuzzi after a workout and the thought of panda eyes isn't welcome. 

The beauty of this particular mascara is it is long. lasting. It certainly delivers on it's promise and when it comes to removing it, it comes off almost in tubes. I haven't channelled Alice Cooper once when I've worn this, so in my book, rave away! 

RRP £12.95 

I am more than willing to pay a little more for my mascara that delivers this much. 

What is your favourite mascara?

Make Up Lesson.

Santa obviously knows me well, as he decided to treat me to this little box of tricks this Christmas. 

The little set contains: 

Zoom Lash 

Graphblack Technakohl

212 SE

275SE

Carbon Eyeshadow

Ambience Eyeshadow

Bisque Eyeshadow 

I haven't indulged in anything new from MAC in months, so it was a lovely treat to play with some bits and bobs. 

The brushes excited me most as I am a brush fiend. They'll be perfect for travelling and I don't own either of these or anything similar. 

As far as the eyeshadows go, they're all no-brainer shades. Not exactly pigmented, but decent matte shades that will definitely get used. As for Graphblack, you can't go wrong with black eyeliner!

However, the winner in this box is Zoom Lash. 

I've never touched MAC mascara, as they never seem to get good press. But I'm actually really loving it. If you like the longer, separated lash look. Give this a go. It's becoming one of my new favourites. 

I'm going to attempt to give this little lesson a go in the next week on video...so watch out for that!
