Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara Review + Free Gift

I bought this the other day with my other bits and pieces, but I wanted to talk about it seperately.

I've already got the lash extension effect mascara from Max Factor and really wanted to try out their false lash effect one. While the lash extension effect mascara is good for making your eyelashes look longer, it's more of a natural look, whereas I wanted something dramatic - and Max factor did not disappoint!

Firstly, There is currently an offer on where if you spend £15 on MF cosmetics in Boots, you get a free gift bag with things worth £25 in it. However, there is also a 3 for 2 offer on MF makeup in Superdrug so I guess you'll have to decide what you want more. So anyway, I bought my lash extension effect mascara and a lipliner so I could get my free gift:

On the Right are the false lash effect and my lipliner. Everything else is with the free gift although I forgot to put my lippy in the picture. You get shade 510 - English rose and this is a picture of me wearing it:

I really like this colour :) And it's full sized aswell (and even if it isn't, you still get a lot in it... I have similar full sized lipsticks...) So I think that it was well worth spending £15 on the mascara I wanted and an extra lipliner, just to get this beauty! It also comes with a 5(ish)ml masterpiece mascara which I haven't tried yet among other things.

**note, the brushes on the false lash effect & masterpiece were awfully similar, masterpiece was £1 cheaper but if you look at the mls... Masterpiece had something like 6.3m whereas false has 13.1ml**

I've tried to do a before and after pic of the mascara, but they are blurry, but I think you can still tell the difference. Please note that the before picture may have slight remains on from when i was wearing the same mascara last night, I got the waterproof one - and boy was it waterproof! I couldn't even get this off with soap but I wasn't really bothered about leaving it on anyway. I woke up this morning and my mum said to me "Wow Emma, you don't even have panda eyes" and the mascara had totally stayed where it was meant to be!
Anyway...
Before:

After:




Just a random piece to end...

I dropped my mascara on the floor and it made this pattern on the floor. All I can say is that there is a LOT of mascara on the brush! (not complaining at all, I love the mascara)


Finally, I just want to say that I have not been paid to do this review and the product was bought with my own money. I hold no bias over this product and anything I say is in my opinion :)

Sunday Update & Makeup Look

~ Sunday ~

On Sunday, my dad gave us the option to see a film or go bowling. This is our little treat since we only see him every other weekend. We checked what films were on but none of them really caught my eye so we decided on bowling. Firstly, when I asked for my shoe size (5) they told me there was none left so he asked if I wanted a 4 or 6. Well obviously I wasn't going to squish my feet into a 4! So I reluctantly picked the size 6. Also the balls were really slippery and I actually dropped the ball backwards towards the seating area which was scary o_o anyways, we played 3 games... I lost all three of them EVEN after getting a strike AND half strike on my last go and scoring 125, I was beaten by one by my brother :( And then by the 3rd game I was so boiling, I just got really rubbish...

Since I was in the local town, I seized the opportunity to pick up the two remaining dazzle dusts that I wanted. I told my dad that he could either pick one up for me or we could go along to the other superdrug which was a little walk away. He agreed to "pay" for mine with the coupon with my brother laughing and saying "that's probably the gayest thing you've ever done!!" while the cashier person just laughed :) Anyway, I picked up shade 72 Emerald (see picture) Which I'm not very impressed with, there seems to be a lot of pigment missing and it wasn't full to the top, I'd really like to complain to them, does anyone know how I would contact them? Anyways, I also got shade 24 (Old Gold) but forgot to take a picture.

Left: brand new Emerald that has quite a lot missing? compared with Right: Brand new Teal

~ Makeup Look ~

I wasn't very impressed with the way I did this, I didn't really use the right brushes and my eyes had been sore from hayfever and where they'd been itchy and I rubbed them so I apologize for that. Anyways, here are a few pictures:

So yeah. What I used:
1. Collection 2000 16 hour Ultimate Perfection Concealer (just as a base..)
2. Barry M Fine Glitter Dust in No. 4 - Silver all over the lid
3. Barry M Dazzle Dust in No. 44 - Copper
4. Barry M Dazzle Dust in No. 14 - Kharki
5. Barry M Dazzle Dust in No. 24 - Old Gold
6. Benefit BADgal eyeliner along top and bottom lash line
7. Rimmel Kohl Pencil in Jungle Green along lower lash line.
8. Maybelline new Stilletto mascara? Borrowed from my mum but didn't like it, used Max Factor lash extension effect over it but as you can see, still looks a mess :/

Hope you guys are all having fun :)
