Review: Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls I present to you the new Maybelline MASCARAAA!!!
It's not just plush...it's MEGA plush.
The new Maybelline Mega Plush mascara came out quite some time ago, and there were loads and I mean LOADS of advertising on the T.V. The mascara promises instant full volume while being soft which peaked my interest however I have only just found it while shopping in Brent Cross. So that's one thing to tick off my wish list.
The wand on the mascara is a bit different, as it's the flexor brush and to be honest it takes a while to get used to as it feels flimsy (spelling??) when you apply the mascara. As for the bristles, they're not plastic (anyone know proper word for them?) which I personally prefer. Oh My God... I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the packaging, its bright minty green and hot metallic pink which I think look great together, and it's really bright and has a summer-y essence. The mascara is Maybelline's first gel-moose formula mascara, however the formula still looks and feels the same so didn't really see a difference on that part. Although on the website it says "40% less hard waxes", which I think is why it's a gel-moose but don't take my word for it. (Okay, enough rambling).
So now on to how it looks and feels. In my opinion Maybelline do the best volumizing mascaras, from their falsies to Colossal and now mega plush. They really are brilliant and they do what they say, which is always nice. My lashes look really long and are much thicker compared to other volumizing mascaras I've tried, even better than my Colossal which was my favourite mascara for ages. As for soft lashes, I did notice that they weren't as hard or brittle, however more coats you add they do become slightly brittle but only slightly.
In my opinion, Maybelline has done a brilliant job again and made a lovely mascara which I will probably rebuy once I'm finished with this one, unless they bring out another mascara which they probably will (lol).
That's all from me and as always if you want to leave any requests in the comments don't hesitate and tell your friends or random women or men who like make up, and will trust the opinions of a sixteen year old girl in London (haha).

Weekend Wanderings: Suffolk
OK, before I start the blog can we just take a moment to look at that amazing alliteration in the title that took me 5 minutes to come up with....brilliant. (Of course I'm joking guys)
As the title suggests my wanderings took me to Suffolk, Thorpeness to be precise. My dad's friend was having a party and I got dragged along although it wasn't too bad. We stayed in a little hotel. The nearest town was Alderberg (about five minutes drive away) so while the boys played golf my mum and I went there for a bit. It was beautiful, the cottages were all multi coloured and were really small and cute. Perfect for a shortie like me. We also walked on the beach for a while and found this interesting statue/monument thing. (It was really windy)
Once back at the hotel we looked around the grounds as we still had time before the party started. They had a lake/river with swans which was beautiful and different as you don't usually see that. Also we found some old boats (presumeably used to go on the lake which is pretty cool).
The party was lots of fun, the adults got very drunk which is always entertaining. The house was amazing, it's in a field and the hosts built a house on it so its in the middle of nowhere, the scenery was stunning. Only downside was there was no one my age, it's so annoying, I'm stuck in the middle, too young to be an adult yet too old to play with the kids that were there (they were about 2-7), such a hardship being 16 (I'm joking).
Although I originally I did not want to go, I'm glad I did as I had a lovely time and went somewhere new as I'd never been to suffolk before.
Happy Travels everyone, until next time

NOTM: Bright Red
"Nails Of The Moment"
I love painting my nails, but I'm one of those people that when they start they can't stop. I change my nail colour a lot, however this is limited as I don't have many nail polishes. Last year while shopping in Spain I picked up this polish a long with two others for 1 euro each. Bargain!!! Saying this they're not the best polishes ever, but they are bright and so perfect for summer.
The colour is called"578" (so inventive). It's semi-matt, although it doesn't show it in the picture. Once it's dry it is a bit pinky than the picture but you can still tell it is a true red, also it is more of an orange-red than a blue-red and makes you look more tanned which is great for me as I'm quite pale. :)
So that's my first NOTM, and let's hope there's many more to come.
Love Livvie xx
