Now into the review...  I've always been big on testing out new mascaras, I love layering them and finding the best combination that works for my lashes. These past few weeks I've been really loving the new L'Oreal Shocking Extensions mascara.With this one I don't even need to use another mascara over top because this Shocking Extensions mascara makes my lashes look so long and voluminous!  

When I first saw this mascara I was kind of turned off by the brush because it didn't look like the typical brush I go for, I usually like the thicker brushes.

The brush shape is thin with fairly short bristles which makes it great for picking up all of your lashes and really coating them, it’s also great for winging out the ends.A few other added bonuses is that it doesn't leave flakes underneath your eyes and it does not make your lashes feel hard or brittle. I find this mascara really gives a natural but full and defined look, best of both worlds in my opinion.

My Mascara Routine!

Hi Everyone! First I want to say a Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends! (I'm jealous of all of the yummy foods you will be eating!) I've been experimenting with a bunch of mascaras over the past month and I wanted to share with you guys my current favourite mascara routine. I'm a huge fan of thick and full lashes so if you're a fan as well then I would definitely recommend these products!

The products I use are Cover Girl Lash Blast, L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black, and a Tarte eyelash curler

My lashes aren't very short but they also are not very long and full so when applying mascara those are the two main things I try and achieve. 

First Step:
I take my favourite eyelash curler from Tarte and Curl my lashes

Second Step:
Next up I take the Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara and coat my lashes, winging out the outer corner. I use this mascara to separate, define and add some length to my lashes

Third Step:
Immediately after I take my L'Oreal Voluminous mascara and coat and wing out my lashes. I find this mascara is great for adding volume right at the root, as well as adding length.

Last Step:
Right after I'll grab my Cover Girl mascara and quickly go back over and make sure that there are no clumps and that the lashes are separated.

So that's it! That is my current mascara routine! I've been really loving this combo lately and I love how thick the roots look and how it almost makes it look like you have eyeliner on.
