Eye-lash Revamp: LashFibres


For aslong as I can remember, my eyelashes have caused me many confidence issues. Makeup artists that have worked with me say I have wonderfully long eyelashes, but if that's the case, why do they never stand out as much I would like? I've tried curling them and purchasing many different masacras, but I came to the conclusion that all hope had gone. I felt like I was doomed to have fine none existent eyelashes all my life or surrender to a life of daily fakery - something that isn't really my 'cuppa tea'. Don't get my wrong, when I discovered fake eyelashes for the first time I thought they were a god send and I wore them as much as I could, but to do this on a daily basis would take too much time and effort. I'm a get up and go type of girl and I like simplicity. If I applied fake eyelashes everyday, I can guarantee that I'll be running for the bus and one would be stuck in my hair whilst the other would have fallen off and yes girls, I have experienced days like that before. 


I was recently approached by the PR company that handles Lash fibres and asked if I wanted to do a review. Upon first hearing about the product, I laughed skeptically and told myself that it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. I've grown too accustomed to lash products letting me down over and over again and with the product having a rather low price tag  I thought it would have no chance. Despite all my concerns, I thought I might as well give it ago and I can happily say I take back all my snide giggles and all my hesitancy against the product. Lash Fibres has worked really well and made such a difference to my daily makeup regime. For on the go bigger lashes, this is perfect. Gone are the hours spent wasted aligning fake eyelashes, here's a product that makes a difference instantly with no glue in sight. 


LashFibres in an instant eyelash brush containing mini fibres that cling onto your mascara. This gives you luscious lash volume within seconds and takes only three steps. Perfect for those lusting over longer eyelashes, but lack the time to apply fakes.

Step one

Apply your own mascara. I've gone for my usual B Longer lengthening mascara - it's one of my favourites from Superdrug and it works really well with my short lashes.


Step 2

Apply the LashFibres over your mascara using a downwards method (the opposite to how you would normally apply your eye mascara) and then wait 30 seconds.

Step 3

Apply your second coat of mascara and voila - it's done. 





As you can tell my eyelashes look more pronounced and my eyes look wider. This is probably one of the first times that my eyelashes have really stood out on camera without wearing falsies. I'm really happy that I've found a product that I can wear on a daily basis that doesn't take much effort and erases my lack of confidence when it comes to eyelashes.  The product retails at £9.95 from Superdrug - at that price I think i'll be hauling these next time I go shopping. 


I've finished my LashFibres look with a bright lipstick and cat-flick eyeliner, it's my signature makeup look and the one I'll be applying the most whilst using this product. I've used my Collection 2000 felt tip eyeliner and my MAC Archie Girl lipstick that I keep falling in love with over and over again.  So finally...

Optional Step 4: 

Do a cheesy, wacky, slightly disturbing grin on camera. Yep, that's what I do when I'm happy. I pull rather weird faces then my partner comes across them on my camera and gives me a what the hell face. Plus, you get to see how your new eyelashes look from all different angles...or take lots of 'selfies' for Facebook...go on, you know you want to.

Khroma Beauty


I'm sorry for my recent blogging absence, with lots of university work on the horizon and a busy life scheduling driving lessons, wedding planning and of course the recent celebrations of valentines day, my blog has unfortunately bared the brunt of it all. However, I'm back and here's a post on the beautiful Khroma Beauty cosmetics line.

For those who have never heard of Khroma Beauty, it is the recent endeavour of the famous Kardashian sisters. The line has come under lots of scrutiny due to it's lawsuit on trademark infringement, but besides all the controversy  I think the beauty line is fantastic and value for money. 

Shebang Palette
A few weeks ago, I was kindly sent a few preview items from the collection. There are various sites online that are selling the products, but currently there is no Khroma beauty UK website. The set I was given to review included: The Nude Lip Set, The Khroma beauty Kardazzle palette and Shebang eye set. The packaging is very glamorous and the colours are natural, yet sexy. There's a lot of glitters and colours that are perfect for those who love a Kim K smokey eye look and the eyelashes work well to amplify your eyes. I wore the eyelashes on Valentines day and they stayed on all night with no problems. In fact, they are probably the best eyelashes I have worn in a long time. 



The product I've used the most from the kit is the Khroma Beauty Lipgloss and lipstick, which I'm wearing in the image above. The colour is so natural and gives the lips a glamorous glossed look. The gloss applies really well and isn't as sticky as most lip glosses I have used in the past. I tend to avoid lipsticks that are unnaturally sticky as food clumps or a 'trout pout' isn't always the best look. Unfortunately the lipstick does not live up to the same level as the lipgloss. I found that the built in lip liner broke very easily and the lipstick faded rather quickly. My opinion is very much split on this product as I love the way it looks, but I feel like not much effort has gone into making the product long lasting. 



The next item is the Khroma Beauty Kardazzle set. This is probably one of my favourite little compacts due to it's handbag size and the beautiful array of colours. I quite like the snake skin effect on the lid, however I think some people could perceive it as tacky. It's all down to individual tastes on snake skin - I'm not fond of it on clothing, but it really helps this little compact have a glamorous appeal. 

Khloe Kardazzle
The colours are all very natural and perfect for the spring season. There isn't a colour that I don't like and although the quality may be a little lacking, the colours very much resemble the Naked palette that many bloggers love. The Kardashian have clearly done their research into popular shades on the market. The compact has 8 eye shadows  two blushers and a highlighter.  I've heard many mixed reviews on the pigmentation of these products, but I think they are pretty good considering the price. Each of the shadows I have tried managed to last whilst I was out in town or having a full day university and the baby pink blusher is  such a gorgeous colour. 

Khloe Kardazzle
The prices of these products vary from £15 to £20, which is rather affordable for a celebrity cosmetics line. For any fan of the Kardashian, I really would recommended this set. Each one of the sisters have used their trademark colours to bring you naturally beautiful cosmetics. If I had one little niggle about the line, it would be that the colours don't last as long as I would like, but then again, for £15 I wouldn't mind the odd reapplication. If you're wanting a little bit of Kardashian style in your makeup draw, go for it.
