Saturday in London

Yesterday I took a train ride into London to meet up with my friend, Paige who I met last year whilst on my work experience placement at Heat Magazine. After not seeing each other for 7 months and only keeping in contact over Facebook and text, it was really lovely to catch-up over a Starbucks hot chocolate and a walk around Southbank. Even though I live a 20 minute train ride from Central London, I don't visit very often so it was really nice to explore the city for the day. With the weather being chilly but bright and sunny (unlike today - its dull and rainy!) I had to snap a few photos of the view over the Thames River and the London Eye as well as a selfie of us and my hot chocolate ha! It was such a lovely day and I cant wait until we meet up again over Easter!

Benefit Rollerlash Mascara

I was super excited to receive my Elle subcription this month. Why? Well, getting the chance to try Benefit's new Rollerlash mascara before it hits the shops - of course! Surprisingly, I have never tried anything by Benefit (yes, really?!) but have heard so many great things about their brand so was excited to try out this mascara - and my expectations have most definitely been met!

Mascara is definitely my favourite make-up product and I have a few favourites including Maybelline Falsies so getting to try a new one - especially by a brand I have never tried before - is very exciting. As I received it in the post last week - I have had enough time to give it a whirl and I can say that I absolutely love it.

I definitely haven't got the worlds longest and thickest lashes but I am very happy with how it makes my lashes look and feel that it does make them look longer. The mascara wand is slightly curved and styled like old-school hair rollers - hence the name 'Rollerlash' - which makes the application very easy. I definitely feel this mascara is going to be a huge success for Benefit and can't wait to pick up the full size when its released.

Have you tried Rollerlash? What are your thoughts?
