End of September – end of November are very busy months for me in terms of Birthdays of very special people!
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I like to find out what the person wants to get. Sometimes I’d find out with the help of other people but sometimes I would just ask.
I’ve noticed that very often my girlfriends ask for a mascara makeup-wise. In fact, I had two mascaras requests last week.
I though that may be useful information as the holidays are approaching. And since almost every woman wears mascara, you can’t really go wrong.
Here is just a photo of some random mascaras that I’ve found in my personal makeup stash.
Ellis Faas mascara, Hourglass Film Noir mascara, DiorShow Ultimate mascara, Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet mascara, Benefit BADGal mascara, Smashbox Bionic mascara, Lancome Hypnose mascara, Daniel Sandler Baby Jet mascara, BECCA The Ultimate mascara.
If you want a budget friendly variant, I’d recommend Max Factor 2000 Calories or Max Factor False Lash Effect, both are amazing!

Read MoreI am sure you all know by now how much I love BECCA Cosmetics. And since the Fall 2011 makeup collection Lost Weekend Fall is already available so I thought I’d share what inspired Rebecca Morrice Williams to create this collection.
This quote is exclusive to Makeup4all which is very exciting (at least for me).
“The Lost Weekend Collection has a very Australian feel… I was inspired by all the great holidays I have spent with my family and friends. My parents have always been all about nature and as a child we would often go camping alongside a river . They own a holiday house in the bush and most holiday times we would escape there – winters are spent bush walking, rugging up in Ugg boots and sitting by log fires. Toasting marshmallows with
Read MoreI don’t like using many mascaras at the same time because they all dry out too fast. So when I’ve finished two mascaras that were in my rotation, I’ve realized that it was time to try a new one. And I’ve decided to open the BECCA one which I’ve got with this set at winter.
You all know how much I love BECCA so I was very curious about their only mascara which is called The Ultimate Mascara and retails for £18. It is described as ”Advanced, water-resistant, micro-tubing mascara formula lengthens and thickens the lashes while a conical shaped brush curls, lifts and separates in one easy coat.”
I have never tried a tubing mascara before so I was really excited to!
So how did this mascara work for me?
When I don’t get enough of sleep, and it would be easier to say when I do, my eyes are really watery so most of the mascaras (talking about those that are not waterproof) run on me and this one doesn’t move! Like seriously, it is long lasting and stays on perfectly! I will even tell you a secret… Several times I had a nap with this mascara on during the day and even after 1.5-2 hours of sleep it stayed on really well. So it is true that it doesn’t smudge, clump or melt.
Some mascaras can irritate my eyes and this didn’t, so I would say it is great for sensitive eyes.
As this is the only mascara BECCA has, one would assume it
