So when Benefit released the Air Patrol BB Cream Eyelid Primer- I was pretty damn intrigued. It had never even crossed my mind that you would ever use a BB cream on your eyelids. I liked the idea of the soft CushionCalm tip which looked so lovely and squishy.

The Air Patrol primer contains a SPF 20 and is designed to help protect your eyelids against the sun, smoke and pollutants with its EnviroDefend complex. It also doubles up as primer to keep your eyeshadow from budging. I found that it does prevent the product from creasing and the you can apply it with the cushioned tip, but I find it's easier to blend in with your fingers.

I says only one click is needed per eye but I found it dried out really quickly and the cream of stuck in the tube, so you had to click more to push out the dried gunk- not nice! I'm sure that this would be a perfect applicator if the product was something like an eye cream for under the eyes and not a primer. It would be much easier to use in the evening or morning as a clear gel or moisturiser formula. As there is only one shade of this product- if you had super fair skin, it would be too dark for you- and if you had very dark skin then it would look super pale on you.

I definitely wouldn't pay full price for this and I'm really disappointed as it has a lot of potential, it just fell a bit flat for me.

Younique Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara

Often something new in the beauty world will come along and we will either love, hate or simply don’t give a toots about. However once in a blue moon something truly amazing will be discovered and it changes EVERYTHING!

This is it guys, I’ve just found my new beauty must have. I genuinely can’t live without it after using it everyday for a week.

Younique’s Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara transforms my short, non existent lashes in 3 easy peasy steps! I mean seriously, it’s a game changer. It’s completely altered my daily routine and I don’t think I can ever go back to just using my regular mascara on it’s own.

So the 3D Fiber Lash Mascara is pretty straightforward. You get two products in your kit, 1 x transplanting gel which you apply over your normal mascara and 1 x natural fibers which you apply after applying the gel. You will see an instant boost in length and volume after applying the fibres it’s magic! Then to lock down your new amazing look, simply apply another coat of the gel to seal. The best part is that you can build with more fibres to get an extra boost- great for when you can’t be bothered with falsies.

I find the the product gives dramatic results without the clumpy mess you often get with regular mascaras. My lashes were lengthened up to 3x longer than normal and the finish is very natural.

I feel my rubbish photos are not doing this product the justice it deserves but if you look at my lashes without mascara, you will struggle to see them as they are that short and sparse. Least with this mascara you can see that I don’t have a bald eye…imagine what this could do for the lucky ladies who already have longish lashes?? Omg! :O

You will have to trust me on this one. If you want obviously longer, fuller, fluttery lashes – then this needs to go on your wish list!
