Finished P10P and sharing some love

After 44 days i am happy to announce that i have finished my Project 10 (makeup) Pan!!! Hurrayyy!! I cannot believe its been nearly two months of not buying any makeup for myself and staying true to my word. It feels liberating to finish ten products which i have enjoyed using immensely and are some of my very favourite products. It was like i was bursting to buy some new makeup so I've already put in a small order to E.L.F to try new coloured primers. Post to come soon!

Now on to the last two products:

Benefit Speed Brow

L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black X5 Mascara - 8mls £8.49
my worn out tube - with the extra volume brush
I've had this mascara for so long now, I'm glad I've finally finished it. I bought it and it was one of my favourite mascaras, then bought the MAC Haute & Naughty and in the drawer it went. I had forgotten how much i  really loved this mascara and will buy it again in my next shopping trip. Voluminous mascara lifts and lengthens my lashes but doesn't give the clumpy affect, like most mascaras I've tried does (even MAC does sometimes eeep!) 

You can buy Voluminous Mascara from the Boots website HERE (sorry i could only find x3 and not x5 though)
I took these pictures - 15 hours after applying around 3 coats of mascara, even my eyeshadow with primer didn't stay put for that amount of time!
I was going to put this in a separate post but thought i would share this in one post. Since i haven't been buying makeup I've been into buying clothes and jewellery to jazz up my wardrobe (as mentioned in my previous jewels post) i have really grown to admire jewellery with writing or quotes on them. In particular i  adore items of jewellery with "love" written on them. My grandma died and i got her handwriting from a letter saying "love" on the side of my stomach. I cherish it so much and these pieces of "love" jewellery also remind me of her.
I'm also getting into jewellery with crosses in them. I'm going to have to purchase a nice ring and necklace soon. What certain kinds of jewellery do you guys love and always end up buying? Please leave your comments i'd love to know :)
love, love, love, love, love!!
L-R: my tattoo, gold bracelet (set of four) from Love Hearts and Crosses, black chunky bracelet from Accessorize, silver ring from LH and Crosses (set of four), black and gold bracelet from River Island

Sophia's buys from Boots

Went into Boots and realised it was 3 for 2, so me and friend got over excited and bought stuff. All i went in for an eyeshadow oops!

Barry M Lipgloss Bubblegum number 5 £4.49
(Lemon Meringue Models Own Nails)

Ooooo so pretty and pink! I was drawn to the bright pink colour in the tube and its soo bright. It smells like amazing sweets, its a certain sweet ive had before but i cant remember the name dam it. In photos it comes out more pale pink with a cooler undertone for some reason but if you like barbie pink pale lips i would suggest this for you.


Loreal Colour Appeal 151 pure gold £6.99

This is what i originally went in boots for! Its shimmery gold without being over glittery. Either a light application or heavy looks really good. Slightly over priced and im sure i wont repurchase because i doubt ill ever use the whole thing.

Loreal Eyeshadow, Barry M lipgloss & Boujois Coup de Theatre mascara with flash


Rimmel Volume Flash Mascara £5.99

Second time ive bought this. Its a cheap mascara that works really well. I do alot of coats with any mascara, im guessing 10? It does dry fast so it can get clumpy but i think its really good for 6 quid.


Random Hair Stuff

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection £5.89
Toni & Guy Finishing Shine Spray £7.14
Aussie 3 Minute Take The Heat £4.69
