Happy 2018 everyone!!

Last October I was sent this Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara* which I have now tried for over 3 months. So I'm going to let you guys know what I loved about this product and what I didn't like as much.My holy grail mascara was always the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara in black due to it's thin wand and precise application which 'til this day I would always see myself using daily.

Honestly I was extremely sceptical about this product, A) Realistically I would never go out of my way to purchase a high end mascara - unless it was super essential in my makeup routine and B) I always find hyped up products such a let down.

I would say instantly the packaging blew me away, sleek, shiny and definitely compact. I carry it in my makeup bag wherever I go.The packaging is a hexagonal 3D shape which is intriguing, with a smooth surface useful for grip and finally along the side is the silver 'MARC JACOBS' logo. I totally loved the simplistic packaging yet appearing to look high-end.

I always get compliments about my eyelashes whenever I wear this mascara, the 'Oh what false lashes you wearing?' or 'Your eyelashes look really long' which was the first kind of compliment I received about any mascara I tried. So, naturally I was hyped and began applying it on a daily basis. Genuinely I could say hand on heart, you could actually get away with wearing false lashes ( so ladies if you struggle with falsies - here's your solution). I find applying this mascara definitely compliments any eye look.

This mascara definitely dries alot quicker and it doesn't feel heavy on the eyes. It doesn't smudge ( a bonus when you don't look like a panda) and I have applied it for more than 10 hours and because it's lightweight you don't realise you have mascara on! The mascara itself doesn't clump which I found happened with the benefit 'They're Real' mascara ( unfortunately was thrown in the bin after a month or so). I would say I'm not a super fan of the wand size as I find it a little too big, if it was smaller it would have been ideal, but I guess the purpose was to 'experience 1800% more volume' which definitely fits the statement. 

If your thinking about purchasing a new mascara, THIS THIS THIS!!! And as Valentine's Day is approaching around the corner - this could be an ideal gift.😜. You could also purchase the mascara here. Having been hesitant about high-end makeup products to purchase - I would definitely grab myself a new one, after this runs out and highly recommend it to anyone as it is definitely worth every penny.

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail / comment below. My opinions are always 100% genuine and honest. There are a few pictures on my Instagram ( me wearing this mascara) if you would like to head over and check it out :).












DISCLAIMERl* This product was sent to me complimentary for review purposes by @marcjacobsbeauty @influensteruk which I am genuinely beyond thankful and grateful for the opportunity. Again like I mentioned, all opinions are genuine and 100% my own.

A very very warm welcome... again to you all, new and the regular readers, hello.

It feels amazing to be blogging again, and I'm serious when I tell you, I would like to give this blog another shot. As you all may know this blog hasn't been the most consistent as it used to be and the honest truth was because I was unhappy the way my blog looked. I knew it missed something and being a full time student and constantly busy either meeting coursework deadlines to revising for upcoming exams my blog became neglected.



As I would log onto my blogger account, I was really put off by the emptiness and not looking up to scratch as I imagined it to be (& if you know me you'll know I'm a bit of a perfectionist) & slowly but surely it kinda disappeared, and the desire to write a blog faded.

I am now on my summer holidays and so after 2 years I finally made that decision to revamp my blog entirely. I can genuinely say I'm so happy the way it turned out, the new layout and just how appealing it looks - even to myself and I want to make it easily accessible for you guys too. It took me the entire day and a lot of thought processing, coding, youtubing various tutorials; and tadaaaa..  Welcome to T R U E L Y T H E V S 2.0.

Let me know what you all think, and if you want me to write about anything feel free to suggest it below.


Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

I definitely need to give credit to my older sister for introducing me to this little wonder. I saw it on her instagram and I felt intrigued but never purchased my own as it was a little expensive. Funnily enough I was on the hunt for a new moisturiser myself, so I guess it was perfect timing when I ended up at her house where she kindly let me borrow the neutrogena moisturiser.





So my opinions?
I absolutely LOVE it, and having always used the tea tree cream from superdrug it was a pleasant surprise. It's a gel cream which applies smoothly on the face, not too runny nor thick so it has the perfect consistency. My skin instantly felt smooth & it's also light weight that I've noticed - with this you don't really feel like you've just applied moisturiser and one of the things I was worried about was the gel causing a crumbly feeling / clumping together on my face but that wasn't the case.
Let's not forget the amazing smell also which isn't too over powering but quite subtle which I love.
I've been using this for around 1 month now; and I haven't reacted to the product - bonus! which you all know how sensitive my skin it and this product is ideal as my face could get a little dry throughout the day and it definitely helps with keeping my skin hydrated.

This retails for £12.99 which could be purchased in Boots / Superdrug / Tesco which I know initially for me, it was quite alot.. BUT I actually bought it for £6.00 / £6.99** as every now and then it gets reduced so keep your eyes peeled for that (not entirely sure but it was less than £7.00) which is decent as the cream I used to purchase cost me £3.50 and as it was a 30 ml bottle from superdrug (it was the superdrug brand) for myself it would only last me tops 1 month and as much as I adored the product I needed something that was worth the money and did the job.




The only thing I could have hoped for would definitely be some kind of SPF. Is that even possible for a gel formulation?
Has anyone tried the neutrogena hydroboost? If so let me know what your opinions are.
