MASquarading

~  La Roche Posay Respectissime Waterproof Mascara
Verdict: A decent mascara but lumbered with an expensive price tag. 
Update: The formula clumped up after only a few months of opening.


~ Primark Aqua Lash Mascara
Survived a hot Sunday afternoon in a conservatory. However the formula is not able to hold my curl.
Verdict: Okay.


~ Primark PS False Lash Effect Mascara
Dry formula and big brush gave a nice effect. A shame it is not waterproof. Lashes drooped quickly.
Verdict: Okay.

Make a joyful noise

The Sweet Smell Of...

Domestic Goblin journeys through her perfume world:

~ Cardinal by Heeley
A corrupt temple.

~ L'amandiere by Heeley
Like daffodils that haven't sprung yet.

~ Nuit de Iris by Heeley
Expired baby powder.

~ Narciso Poudree by Narciso Rodriguez
Victorian dressing room.

~ Eau de Gaga by Lady Gaga
 Headache-inducing citrus.

~ Infusion d'iris by Prada
Some would describe it as dry and restrained, but all I get is: dried, dead iris.

~ Paris by Yves Saint Laurent
Lipstick overload.

~ Eternity by Calvin Klein
This is a revisit. The radiant rosy floral top note has disappeared in this formulation and appears in the middle notes instead. A complimented floral.

~ New York by M&S
A sensual perfume that good girls can wear.

~ Number One by Caldey Island
Fleeting posh skin scent

~ Mandarin and Basil by Primark
Bitter oranges.

~ Pomegranate and Black Tea by Primark
Headache inducing incense.
