This could change the world of mascara.....

Hey guys, well I am writing this from sunny, gorgeous Barcelona! Been here since Tuesday 19th with the family and its been amazing, when I have uploaded the photos I shall embed a slideshow for you to watch.


I just HAD to post this as I thought EVERYONE must know about it.  Shortly before coming out here I went to my make-up mecca AllWellAnGood (fantastic chain store of discounted hard to find brands) I saw some this little wonder! and well....the results will speak volumes...literally.


W7 BIG LASH MASCARA


First Impressions
As with all mascaras boasting 'extreme length and volume' it seems like a bit boring as nothing seems to work, even trying the more expensive brands.  So I bought it in honesty because the design of the case was a bit funky and I liked it.


The case as mentioned is funky, its like a sort of 'african animal print' style (see photos) in honesty it looks a little cheap, but considering it can be picked up for £3.50 (inc postage) AT MOST from online stores. So it really is quite cheap for what it is.


As with the W7 range I LOVE it all, as you may or may not remember, I awarded Product of The Year 2010 to the W7 Silky Smooth Blusher and I still swear by it now.


APPLICATION
As mentioned I love how this mascara goes on, I always maintain a primary layer of white mascara before hand as this somehow...not sure how....adds more volume and therefore only one-2 layers of the Big Lash is needed, so its more economical. I have worn it out here in Barcelona with minimal eye make-up and it really has made a difference.


As mentioned before I am quite picky about mascara, I have found it hard applying false lashes and refuse to pay £70 for extensions! so this mascara is perfectly sufficient.


LIKES
I love the price, I love the application, the fact that although it boasts 'volume' and 'length' it actually does it and the size still is handbag friendly.


DISLIKES
That the W7 brand is not readily available, however UK stores such as Next do sell some items, but its cheaper to buy online and I can support my little stores.
