Seventeen staples

Well, I've been gone for quite some time but I promise I will not abandon you again. 

I like a lot of other bloggers currently am trying to go cruelty free with my cosmetics. One brand that have made this a lot easier is Seventeen. Why I hear you ask? Well Seventeen are super affordable and available from most Boots stores. Winner I know.

 
One reason I love Seventeen so much is they do an extra fair concealer, yes you read that right!  I'm one of those ghost like people who could blend into a white wall. This concealer is a life saver honestly. I used to use the Urban Decay Naked concealer in fair neutral and it was amazing but I think the Seventeen stay time actually beats it! Plus it's a fraction of the price. Three reasons I love this product; Number one, the colour match I've never had a concealer that matches me as well as this does. ( thank you so much seventeen I'm sending you a huge virtual hug for this.) Number 2, it stays all day no  budging so I never stress that I look tired ever!  Number 3, it's price you can not go wrong! (Please ignore that mine still has plastic on the bottom bit I'm so bad at getting it off Hahaha.)


The other two products I love are two of there mascaras. Number one and probably my ultimate is Doll'd up, this is a game changer. I love big dolly looking eyes as I've very round eyes anyway and this product lives up to its name perfectly. I'm not going to lie I go for products based on their name, if it has a cute name I'll buy it. It doesn't always work out for me but luckily this did. I'd compare it to the benefit Roller lash but again I think it's better it's beautifully curved wand and spiked bristles gives you such gorgeous lift and separation the lashes look natural, fluttery and full. Everyone needs this baby in there life. Pair the concealer and mascara and bobs your uncle you're bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to take on the world. 



There other mascara that I love is Falsifeye. This gives the impression of False lashes if you want that dramatic eyelash look, then this ones for you. It gives perfect separation and glamour. This is the perfect night time mascara. I'm not crazy about the packaging on this one but it's true that it's what's on the inside that counts and well this is pretty damn good!  



As I whole I love seventeen and Im super tempted to try their new highlighting concealer and Easy on the Eye palette as both look incredibly beautiful and are super affordable. (When I say tempted this probably means I'll buy them tomorrow before work.)  Seventeen I salute you! You've got us pasty pants girls covered and concealed and I love y'all lots for that!

Lots of love,

My top five mascaras from budget to branded.

Guess who's back, back again Leanne's back tell a friend. I'm back forever now with at least one post a week from now on and that's a promise. 
Let's just get to the post, I'm a mascara hoarder I have about 20 in my house this is not a over statement and I thought I'd share my favourites with you, I really love the big doll eye look so these mascaras will all help you achieve this look so let's go. 
My first favourite mascara comes in at just £3.30 yes, £3.30 and it's brilliant it's Essence Lash Princess false lash effect. This stuff for the price is just incredible you will need a eyebrow come and brush your lashes through after but the end result is stupidly incredible my lashes look false and huge it's a thing of complete beauty and the best bit it's cruelty free. If you're in the Uk get to Wilkos and pick it up you will not regret it. Also it features the word princess so it's a no brainer right?!  
Next up we have Seventeen Doll'd up, this is the perfect dupe for Roller Lash and it could actually be even better than Roller lash this will give you such a natural flutter and make your eyes look so big and doll like I have about 3 of these on the go because I can't be without it! You'll love this and it come in at under £7 which is a third of Roller lash so if you're wanting to try it buy this first you won't regret it! 

Next is a mascara that's raved about constantly, you've probably guessed it's Lash Sensational it's amazing another dupe for Roller Lash. This gives you perfect separated lashes so much so that I've had people compliment my lashes when I use this! You can pick this 
up from any Drugstore or I've seen it in Savers for £5.
Next is something I've mentioned in this its several times now you've guessed it, it's Roller Lash I've done a whole post on this in the past just know it's beautiful but expensive. 
Lastly was what we shall call Leanne's moment of complete weakness when she sees the words doll eyes and spends a large amount of money. That's rights it's LancĂ´me Doll eyes. This is the most intense black mascara I've ever used it gives you the most perfect doll like lashes that stays put all day. However there is one downside to this mascara it smells like roses. Some people may love this but me personally nope it's not my cup of tea and you can smell it for ages I just don't understand why you'd want scented lashes but hey ho. 
That's my favourite mascaras for you lovely lot let me know yours or if there's any mascaras you think I should try.

All my love
