Maybelline Volum'Express One by One Mascara: Review


Doesn't it seem like I have been reviewing a lot of mascaras lately? Well, I will tell you why. While I generally tend to hold on to makeup for way longer than I should, mascara is an item that I frequently replace. Mascaras are notorious breeding grounds for bacteria. Also, My eyes are extremely sensitive. So, I want to make sure that my mascaras are nice and fresh! So, I stay on the safe-side

Want it. Need it. Buy it


I can't get enough of wedges right now. They're easy to wear, and add a fashion edge to the simplest of  outfits. This pair from Office, £70, are top of my wish list for spring.
