Sephora Lash Plumper Review ✩✩✩

I've been using this for quite a few weeks now and I think it retails at about €10.
I got it in brown to use it as a daytime mascara, and it's honestly not fantastic.
It doesn't get lumpy even after several weeks which is good, although when I first used it, it was almost too smooth and not very "plumping", it actually got better with time. It starts to flake and fall out after a few hours, maybe a little longer if I use an eyelash primer, and depending on the weather and how much time I spend inside or outside. It can sometimes make my eyes quite dry, though it does not irritate my eyes really. I found that in the first few weeks it stayed on just fine, but as it gets dryer it gets flakier.
The brush is nice, it's quite big with a lot of bristles though it can make my lashes quite clumped together.
It's not great but it's not terrible. I've been using it almost every day for some weeks, although now that it's quite a bit dryer it flakes more and I may discard it one of these days...
It's fine for an affordable, day-time mascara.

Much Love,

Yes To Carrots Eye Contour Cream Review ☆☆

So my undereyes get extremely dry, and I have fine lines, probably from wearing like three layers of makeup every day for a year or two between about 13-14 years of age. Whenever I wear makeup I feel like it's getting worse, and my concealer always creases really badly. I wanted something to return the moisture and act as a smoothing primer for foundation/concealer. I bought this from sephora for about €15. It's free of parabens, petrolium and SLS. Regrettably, it DOES contain perfume. Why they decided to put perfume in this is beyond me. It's a lovely, creamy consistency (which is why I bought it when I tried the tester), however it makes my eyes very red and runny, and I didn't notice a huge difference hydration-wise. When my sister tried it, and she used a lot, she had to go rinse it off after a few minutes because her eyes were not enjoying it. Not a recommended product.

Much Love,
