My Favourite Mascaras - Blackest Black and Fakest False

Mascara is easily the one make-up product I couldn't do without. If mascara-less, I'm featureless; my lashes are transparent, by eyes have no definition - the term boiled egg brings to mind ...

I've worn make-up on a regular basis since I was 12-going-on-13. So mascara has been in my life for ... let's just say there's a decade and a bit in there somewhere. So what have my 10+ years of mascara experience taught me about what makes a great mascara?

I don't like lipgloss - I like Yves Saint Laurent

That was a very strange and slightly spoiled statement to make, I agree, but that's exactly how I feel about Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine. My heart skipped a beat as I read about them and fell more and more in love with them. The packaging is beautiful, the colours are beautiful and smell oh the smell is just devine. I mean just look at it!
