Lancome Hypnose Noirs Perles
It reinforces and densifies lashes with astounding volume, whilst separating them. Hypnôse Precious Cells is the first visibly regenerating mascara from Lancôme in two captivating glints: intense green and deep purple. Thanks to its Carbon Black pigments, Hypnôse Precious Cells is ideal for women coveting that perfect lash-by-lash result.
Quite simply, this is one of the best mascaras ever. Lashes are lift and separated for full-on definition. The added colour is super subtle so if you're worried about looking like an eighties throw-back, don't be. It doesn't clump when applying, the final look is long, volumious lashes. And it lasts the day without flaking or smearing. If you haven't already, try this today, you won't regret it.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation
Designed for girls-on-the-go, Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation combines colour that can't fail with an ultra-comfortable, long-lasting wear. Skin feels energised and hydrated all day with no sign of make-up fatigue. It's stress-proof, fade-proof and transfer-proof for up to a wow-worthy 25 hours.
You want to look good day-long, and it helps when your foundation stays on your face. But busy ladies mean busy days so chances are your foundation won't last the pace, fading and rubbing off long before the end of the day.
And then there's this new foundation from Rimmel. It stays in place, and unlike other long-wear foundations, it doesn't leave skin dry, tight and chalky. Actually skin feels wonderfully hydrated all day.
And at £6.99, we reckon it puts other premium foundations to shame - a brilliant buy.

Revlon's 3D Extreme mascara
Creates dramatic lashes with extreme fullness, curl and length. The Exclusive Bold Impact Brush is tapered to lift, amplify and separate even the tiniest lashes. The patented lightweight gel formula with intense color pigments delivers a bold lash look – no primer needed! No caking or flaking.
This would be one of the best mascaras ever if - and it's a big if - it had a better wand. The mascara does indeed create one of the best, fullest looks. Lashes look longer, with more curl and super luscious. But the brush is a nightmare. It's tricky to use, with a flat side to first apply product, then comb side to brush thourgh. It's prone to clumping at the lash root and ruining the look, which is a shame because this is definitely a brilliant mascara, just use a different wand.
