INGLOT COSMETICS - Long & Curly Mascara

Description: Water resistant, smudge proof, quick drying and long lasting, this mascara separates each eyelash with maximum extension without clumping or globing. 



Review: Following my IMATS trip I collected this little beauty from the INGLOT stand. The way the products were displayed and available to test was definitely something that I love. The black packaging brings forth a sense of sophistication and simplistically that I absolutely adore, giving it a rich appeal to the eye. This mascara was specifically designed to create long and curly lashes, a factor that drew me in instantly without a doubt. Being the type of girl that typically likes the natural everyday look this caught my eye even further. I purchased this for around $16 AUD. 
The wand is straight and long,which is different to other mascaras that I have previously owned. The surprise I got from one coat of mascara with curled eyelashes was amazing. Do apply another generous coat if needed! Definitely note that this has more of a wet formula which may droop eyelashes throughout the day. I tested this mascara to work which survived the humid weather and discovered  that there was no smudges underneath my eyes and the mascara looked exactly as it did when I first applied it. 
It gives minimum clumps due to the bristles and I don't want to express how much I dislike clumpy looking lashes, that's just my opinion.
This is one of my favorite everyday mascaras. I definitely recommend. 

My Rating: 4/5 


IMATS Sydney 2013

If someone asked me if I knew what IMATS was a couple of months ago, I would of said no. That wasn't until I started following and watching beauty gurus that I somehow caught an addiction. It wasn't long before I was influenced in a "good" way, that I have stepped out of my bubble and reached into the world of beauty. 
During the Sydney IMATS I was pleased to meet a couple of the Australian/NZ beauty gurus, which I would like to say are absolutely gorgeous and are soo nice in person. The collection of makeup that were available were discounted to the point where I was wondering if I was going to go home needing to grab a trolley from a supermarket. The display of makeup works were amazing, something I definitely call talent. Overall, it was an experience that I loved and would be visiting again next year. 

Check out some of the Australian beauty gurus: saturdaynightsalrite, DOMMsmiles, shaaanxo, lozcurtis and chloemorello.

A Visit To The Beach

The experience of going to the beach was something that I have personally long  pushed and avoided for the previous year. Without a doubt, my family were always beach goers along with fishing trips that were classified as family days. I didn't realize what I was missing until I actually got to experience this wonderful trip to the beach with my friends until so recently.
From the first sensation of the golden sand particles pricking between my toes to that wind swept hair aftermath. It was a day of relaxation and was a stress reliever from the past two weeks that was jam-packed with exams. 
I did however love the sun rays that caught my skin and gave it a nice tan. I also enjoyed the environment that gave a calming effect especially the waves and the clear glistening water. It's funny how I enjoyed every bit of this day, I think it was due to being away from my hectic life.  This is something that I definitely would try again.
