What's in my Make-up Bag

I've seen quite a few 'what's in my make-up bag' posts lately so I thought it was about time I showed you all what's in my make-up bag. I only have a selection of products with me because I'm still on my Christmas break from uni (going back tomorrow), so it's basically my every day make-up with a few different/extra eyeliners and lip products. I also haven't included other bits that were in my make-up bag such as brushes (because I really need some new ones) and hair bands/grips.

Maybelline Colossal Mascara Review

Hello lovely readers, so here's a post that I've been meaning to do for SO long! It's the Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara. Out of all of the mascara's I've ever used I think this one has to be my absolute favourite! It's the first and only mascara I've used by Maybelline and I've seen a lot of good reviews about them. When I went out to buy one it did take me a while to decide which one to get before I chose this one.

You can get it here, the price is really good from the quality you're getting as I've paid over £10 for mascaras that aren't as good as this Maybelline Colossal Mascara. From the image above on the right you can see the type of brush has been created to give you the volume, as it says on the tin! In my opinion, these brushes work a lot better than the rubber ones which I had previously, although I guess it depends on your personal preference!

And here you can see the massive difference with a layer of this mascara on (sorry about the change of eye). Not only has it added the volume but it's also added a lot of length too which makes this a great all round mascara!

There are a lot of mascara's out there which I'd like to try out but I think this Maybelline mascara will always stay as one of my favourites. What are your favourite mascara's?
