Tester Tuesday - Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara

Hey everyone! 

Today is the second Tester Tuesday, and I have a makeup review for you guys.  It's the Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara.  

This 4ml tester is perfect for the handbag or travel. I have used this tester before, but it has been my favourite mascara this past week.  It's nice and light and doesn't weigh my lashes down like some other mascaras.  

This mascara elongates my lashes without clumping them.  If you hate clumpy mascara then I urge to to try this one as it is far from clumpy.  I would also say it separates my lashes and coats them evenly. 

The wand is a typical brush rather than plastic wand. 

As you can see from the picture, I would definitely say this mascara is more suited if you want length rather than body.  I do really like this mascara for everyday wear. I would probably switch if I was wanting more dramatic lashes but for everyday, I love this mascara. 

I hope you liked this tester Tuesday review.  Let me know if you have ever tried this mascara before, and what you thought of it.

Tester Tuesday - Burberry Body Perfume Review

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to the first tester Tuesday! 

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Burberry Body perfume.  I got this 4.5ml tester in a glossybox but never really used it. 

The perfume is described as "a feminine and effortlessly sensual fragrance with an eclectic combination of refined ingredients."  

Top Notes;

•fresh green absinthe

•illuminating elegant peach 

•refined freesia

Heart Notes;

•natural rose 

•iris  

•warm tones of sandalwood 

Base Notes;

•Woody cashmeran

•creamy vanilla

•sensual amber 

•musk 

Okay now your all probably thinking "shut up with the perfume jargon, what does it actually smell like?!" 

(PS, I don't blame you, when people describe perfumes half the time it sounds like a load of rubbish to me!!)

(PSS, I am the worst at describing scents so I do apologise for the following text)

When I smell this perfume I definitely smell rose, but not fresh roses, like warm roses.  This scent reminds me of my grandmother, not in a bad way but simply because it's a warm, feminine scent. The musk scent is also very strong to me, but I think that just adds to the warmth of this perfume.  

Funnily enough I started this post with the intention of telling you all that I wasn't really keen on this scent and it wasn't really for me.  Now I'm going to tell you all that the more I smell it, the more I like it.  It's a perfect fall/winter scent in my opinion because its so warm and cozy while remaining feminine.  When I smell this (and I know this is weird but I'm telling you anyway) I think of curling up next to a fire watching a movie wrapped in blankets. 

I hope you all enjoyed this review, I've actually really liked writing this one because I've completely changed my opinion on this perfume. I kind of love it now.  Let me know if you've ever tried this perfume in the comments!
