</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I saw the new MAC collections had been released and stocked in the UK I headed straight to my local counter to have a peek. I absolutely LOVE all of the new stock and wish I had the money to buy more!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The ladies helping were as usual lovely, and showed me around the counter until I decided on my 3 purchases. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly, I picked up one of the eyeshadow quads from the 'Shop MAC' collection. Its called "Call Me Bubbles" and I chose this due to the retro/floral packaging and the gorgeous colours inside. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eBas1SLh8UI/T1zGc4AMd7I/AAAAAAAAAEo/d1mIzzTsiDA/s1600/DSCF0128.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eBas1SLh8UI/T1zGc4AMd7I/AAAAAAAAAEo/d1mIzzTsiDA/s320/DSCF0128.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><br />

</tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The colour payoff is great with these colours, particularly the copper colour 'Brash'. I think this palette is great for spring and summer and brings out your eye colour, in particular blue eyes. This is my first pre-made eyeshadow quad from MAC and I love it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only con is that I cannot remove the eyeshadows to swap them around in my other palettes. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Secondly, I bought the new Viva La Glam lipstick with Nicki Minaj. I missed out on some of the previous Viva La Glam colours, so knew I had to get my hands on this. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MoA7XAAYIPQ/T1zI-N80kMI/AAAAAAAAAFA/hob4q2lkX6I/s1600/DSCF0133.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MoA7XAAYIPQ/T1zI-N80kMI/AAAAAAAAAFA/hob4q2lkX6I/s320/DSCF0133.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My last purchase was part of the new 'Too Supreme' collection and it is as Sheen Supreme Lipglass. The thing I like about this is the packaging. It comes in a twist up/click bottom to get product out, and the lipglass is pushed out of the brush applicator. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pro's or this are the brush applicator being super easy and that unlike some other mac lipglosses, it is totally non-sticky and feels really hydrating on your lips. It is a pleasure to wear. </span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; word-spacing: 1px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">" Illamasqua is for the bolder person hiding inside all of us. It is an act and an attitude. A symbol of tolerance. A celebration of idiosyncrasies. A confident statement of self-ownership."</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; word-spacing: 1px;"><a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/">http://www.illamasqua.com/</a></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Illamasqua has to be my all time favourite make up brand. Not only for the intensity of pigmentation in every product or the daring colours, but also for the impressive quality of the products. If you're a follower, you will soon realise over time that I am absolutely besotted with Illamasqua!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Having turned all my friends into Illamasqua lovers, and virtually being on first name basis's with my local Illamasqua team, I can't stop but stare whenever I walk past the counter. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I want to introduce you all to my collection of their lipglosses. I have 8 colours all together ranging in shades. For me they top many other brands due to their pigmentation and texture, they aren't as sticky as some other makes and last for hours on end.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Illamaqua have two types of glosses: </div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul><li><b><i>intense lipgloss <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">"</span></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; line-height: 20px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Come out of the shadows with high-shine, colour-rich Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in a wide range of bold colours. Create lips that look full and glossy, without feeling sticky. Draw attention to your lips, and to you."</span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; word-spacing: 1px;"><i><b>Sheer lipgloss <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">"</span></b></i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; line-height: 20px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Super glossy, with a sensual, sheer colour designed to enhance your lips. Use Illamasqua Sheer Lipgloss on its own or with Illamasqua Lipstick for added pout. Add a little more sexiness to your smile. "</span></span></li>
</ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px; word-spacing: 1px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These glosses can be applied with a lip brush, finger or just straight from the tube. The packaging is stylish and sleek with a squeezable plastic tube, to lure out product. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; word-spacing: 1px;"><br />

I bought, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">2 Barry M lip glosses</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Aussie Aussome Volume and Conditioning Mousse</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Aussie Aussome Texturising and Conditioning Gel Spray </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">(reviews of these products coming soon)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">However the main reason for my shop was to get some new mascara. So I bought these 3:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">1) Boujois - Volumizer Mascara</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nZfQwIT5UFM/Tp3xldRlkUI/AAAAAAAAABU/2hMBPBnOTqs/s1600/IMG_4581.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="105" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nZfQwIT5UFM/Tp3xldRlkUI/AAAAAAAAABU/2hMBPBnOTqs/s320/IMG_4581.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This is a recently new product and has been raved about by many beauty gurus. So excitingly I picked it up in hope that it would be a new favourite. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> This mascara has taken the 'two step' approach like many new mascaras have such as the Mac Haute & Naughty Lash. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Bourjois Volumizer has two step brushes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> STEP 1) The brush has a thin wand and a normal sized less bristly brush. This brush 'prepares for 3D volume' and is guaranteed 'clump free'. So I decided to put it to the test:</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Already after step one I noticed an instant lengthening effect on my lashes. It did exactly what it said in giving volume and being clump free, but it also separated beautifully, lengthened amazingly and prepared my lashes for step 2. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">STEP 2</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This step also did as it was supposed to in creating colossal volume and length, and coating the lashes evenly. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I can honestly say, this mascara was one of the best mascaras I have tried in a long time! It cost £10.49, which is on the slightly expensive side for a drug store mascara, but it is definitely worth it, as it is comparable if not better than many high end/designer mascaras, is surprisingly long lasting and is generally fabulous! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Scores: 9/10</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The second mascara I bought was from collection 200, and it was the Super Size Fat Lash Mascara. The main reason I picked this up was because it was cheap. A mere £2.99, which is possibly the cheapest I have ever seen a mascara being sold for. However I also bought it as i had been recently impressed with my Big Fake Flash Lash Effect Mascara.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This particular mascara promises to "SUPERSIZE YOUR LASHES" being a 'super volumising mascara, for big, bold lashes'. I have to say, for £2.99 I was sceptical! (colour Brown/Black)</span><br />

For me this mascara was better than I expected. It did not leave my lashes clumpy or stick, the consistency seem a little dry, so I can imagine it would dry out quickly. However it did elongate my eye lashes and provide some volume. I am unsure if i would buy this mascara again however as it cheap and does an alright job, but is not amazing.<br />
<br />
Scores: 4/10<br />
<br />
Lastly I also made a cheap purchase from collection 200 buying the Extreme Coloured Lengthening Mascara.<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_KKCaJsaK0M/Tp34GHNM0KI/AAAAAAAAACM/YkhIPdGDYs8/s1600/IMG_4590.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_KKCaJsaK0M/Tp34GHNM0KI/AAAAAAAAACM/YkhIPdGDYs8/s200/IMG_4590.jpg" width="80" /></a><br />
This mascara promises "high shine vibrant colour lengthening mascara for bright eyes that pop!'. Despite this I bought it in black for practical reasons.<br />
<br />
This mascara was the biggest disappointment out of all the buys, and did live up to the £.2.99 price tag!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I found this fluid extremely dry and it felt like the bottle had already run out and had been opened a year ago! It did clump slightly and did not provide any amazing volume or last long. I would be tempted to try the bright blue mascara they do in this make, but would not go back to this mascara in black.<br />
