Maybelline Stretch and Define Mascara Review

Hi Guys , I have recently been interested in experimenting with different makeup techniques and looks , and since the mascara I have been using which is the Essence All Eyes On Me Mascara , has started to become clumpy so I went out and picked up the Maybelline Stretch and Define Mascara in Brown . While using this mascara I have found that the brown shade is particularly good for school , as it defines and volumises lashes without giving them such a heavy colour. 

I was drawn to the packaging when I initially saw the product . I think that the colour of the container really makes it stand out on the shelf .

The applicator isn't of great quality , it is quite bendy and thin. The application is good though , with the bendy applicator coming in handy on the bottom lashes. 

I like the brown colour of this mascara a lot . As  I mentioned earlier , it gives lashes volume and definition , but the colour is subtle and I have noticed no clumps so far. 

I have achieved great length on my eyelashes on this product and it is perfect for back to school because of the subtlelty of the colour . 

I couldn't find this mascara on the superdrug website , but I got it in a sale so I don't know the exact price point. I don't imagine it is extremely expensive .

DIY Dry Erase Calendar For Back To School

Hi everyone , as you all know, it is currently the end of August , and usually for most people September means Back To School. Today I have decided to show you how to make a DIY Dry Erase Calendar to help keep you organised this academic year . This is also a collaboration with Niamh (http://beautybud3598.blogspot.co.uk/) , so for another DIY like this , go on to her blog and check it out . Anyway , enough with rambling , Let's Get Started ! 

For this DIY , you will need:

- A pair of scissors

- A photo frame 

-Magazines / Computer Print outs 

-A blank Calendar (A4 works best)

- Glue (PVA or a glue stick work equally well)

The first thing you will need to do is remove the mount from the frame. This is usually a white border inside the frame.  Remove the glass also , then put the backing into the frame. The backing of the frame is what will be the base for the calendar, so this is essential.

Next , take a magazine or print out photos that appeal to you from instagram , weheartit , etc .
If you don't have a printer , use magazines or old books to cut out photos that are of interest to you. Make sure you print/cut out plenty of images , you will need them to surround the calendar.

You will also need a blank calendar . I chose one and printed it from Google images , but Art and Craft stores should sell them also. A4 size works best with the frame size that I used.

Now stick the calendar to the middle of the frame. I used a glue stick but PVA glue would work just as well.

Arrange the images you have cut out around the calendar . Make sure you are happy with it before you start gluing them down. 

When you are happy with the arrangement , start gluing down the cutouts. Now , all you have to do is place the glass back in the frame and secure the back. 

Voila ! A dry erase calendar to keep you organised this academic year. I think this is great because it has a very personalised touch , and looks appealing in your study space. I hope you enjoyed this post. Please tag me in a photo on instagram / twitter if you make this DIY .
