Beauty | Seventeen Falsifeye HD Mascara Review

I'm one of those girls who just loves eye make up, without eyeliner and mascara I feel completely naked and you would definitely not catch me leaving the house without it - even on holiday I will wear waterproof eyeliner and mascara - my obsession is that bad! My eyes in my opinion are my best facial feature; a bold flick of jet black eyeliner with lovely long and volumised eyelashes is definitely my go-to look to help emphasise my eyes and make them stand out. I am always on the look out for the *perfect* eyeliner and mascara, I tend to switch between brands quite a bit to try out different products as I have yet to find a mascara or eyeliner that's been 100% perfect for me. I was browsing the make up stands in Boots when the Seventeen Falsifeye HD Mascara caught my eye with its' cute packaging and big claims for 'corner to corner volume and length for High Definition impact'. I was very intrigued by this mascara, although I had never tried a mascara from Seventeen prior to this, I have been pleasantly surprised by a couple of their other products in the past, so I thought I would give it a go and see if it lived up to the bold claims being made on the packaging.

As I will be shortly moving house and need to save up some extra pennies, I have decided to have a big clear out and decided to sell my soul unwanted beauty and fashion products in a blog sale! The following products no longer suit me or I don't really use them enough - some I've received through beauty boxes and gift sets and I don't really like them that much or have a need for them. I may add more products to this as I find more stuff I don't need so feel free to keep checking back! As for clothing, I shall add this to the sale once I have photographed everything (I have a lot of unwanted clothes!).

- If there is no payment within 24 hours, the items will be released back into the sale

- Postage will be tailored to each order - price will depend on quantities, size and weight of items sold, but I will keep it as low as possible

Review // Tanya Burr Lips And Nails Collection (+Swatches)

I think it's safe to say that as soon as Tanya Burr announced that she was going to launch her own nail varnish and lip gloss collection that it was going to be one of the most hotly anticipated launches in the bloggersphere. Although I'm not a really really religious follower, I think it's great to see how successful Tanya has become and to even have the opportunity to create her own make up range must be a dream come true. Feel Unique announced that Tanya Burr's collection quickly became one of their most successful releases to date and it just proves what an impact that blogging has on the modern fashion and beauty industries and how much influence blogging gurus hold. It was no surprise really that Tanya's collection proved to be such a success with millions of loyal followers and subscribers from around the world, I couldn't imagine it being anything else but a big hit.

The Christmas Haul // What I got for Chrismtas

I've seen many bloggers share what they received for Christmas in a haul post, so I thought I would do one of my own! Considering I'm getting old, I think I've done pretty well this year and got some really lovely things; I think now I'm a bit older I really love to give people presents and see them make people happy, so I do tend to go a bit crazy when buying things for others! I didn't really have anything specific that I wanted to get, I'm so indecisive and I don't like it to look like I was expecting a big pile of different presents, I've probably mentioned a few things over the past few months but never expected to get them! If you follow me on Twitter, you will probably know a few of the presents that I got, but here is a full list of the presents I received this year.

Beauty Haul // Elf Cosmetics (+ swatches)

I am a sucker for trying new brands and new products, I just can't stick to the same products and colours - variety is the spice of life after all! You can never have enough make up products - especially for eyes, lips and nails, I love being able to completely transform your look just by swapping for a different colour. So when I saw on Twitter that ELF were hosting a 50% off sale a couple of weeks back, I just couldn't resist having a look at their massive range of products! Personally I had never bought anything from ELF before, but I had seen good things from other beauty bloggers, so I thought that during the 50% off sale would be the ideal opportunity to try the brand out!

Until I looked on the website, I didn't actually realise how affordable the prices were and that was without the 50% off on top! With this in mind and the fact that as a student I can't resist  a good bargain, I did go a *little* bit crazy and bought a wide range of different make up products to try out. I didn't realise how much I had actually bought until a massive cardboard box arrived for me packed full of make up! I just kept pulling out more and more, it was just never ending, I couldn't believe I got so much - £60 worth of make up products for just £30! And to make it even better I also got free delivery, double score! I'm going to share with you my first ELF haul purchases below and my first impressions on the products.

100 Bloglovin' followers Giveaway

Hello everyone, last week I finally hit my first milestone of 100 followers on Bloglovin'! I was so excited to hit my first milestone, it means so much to me that there are people out there enjoying my blog and taking the time to follow me and keep coming back! I know I haven't been very consistent with blog posts lately as I've been busy with my placement during the week, so I haven't had as much free time to blog if I've had things to do at the weekend as well. So, it means even more to me that all you lovely bloggers are still supporting me and Fashion Is Our Religion.

So to celebrate and to thank my followers, I've decided to host my first giveaway! I've bought a range of make up products that are ideal for A/W. Think bold graphic make up in deep vampy colours which will be perfect for a rocky and dramatic make up look. I've chosen products from some of my favourite make up brands which I have had experience with using myself and loved, so I hope you love them just as much!

Leicester Bloggers Meet-up - Highcross' Autumn Fashion FIx

Last weekend, I attended my first ever blogger's meet-up in Leicester, which was organised by the lovely Hareem. To say I was nervous was an understatement! I really didn't know what to expect or how I would react when meeting a group of people I had never met in real life before; as someone who is quite shy and a bit awkward around people I don't really know I was panicking a little that I would make a fool of myself. But I bit the proverbial bullet and decided to attend; and looking back, I really don't know why I was panicking so much, it was such a lovely day and I met some really nice fellow bloggers! As I have recently moved back to Leicester for my placement it was nice to find some local bloggers that have similar interests to me, I didn't realise there would be so many of us and it was nice to be able to attend something local rather than everything being held in London and not being able to go.
