Thoughts:
I can never decide if I like vibrating mascara or not. I like the concept of it but my eyes are insanely ticklish so in the past when I’ve used it all it made me do was blink a lot and get mascara all over the rest of my face. Needless to say I didn’t have particularly high hopes for this one. And yet I’m still using it a couple of months on because of 2 things:
1. Variable speeds
2. It’s removed in the little tube things like the other Mirenesse mascaras
So varying speeds was the part that got me over the ticklishness, it has 3 speeds and the lowest one is gentle enough that I can use it without blinking every two seconds. Yay that. To remove it rather than the traditional make up remover you can use water and it comes off in little tubes rather than smudgy panda eyes. This I love and this is why I’ve used Mirenesse mascara for around 4 years.
The brush is one of those plastic ones with small rubber points rather than bristles and I find that these work fantastically on lower lashes (you can see in the photo how it went on mine). I didn’t find that it lengthened or thickened lashes particularly but it was ok.
Would I buy Mirenesse Vibralash Mascara again: I’m not sure. I love it for my lower lashes, like the small vibrations and love the easy removal but the price for me is a kicker. If I had unlimited money I probably would buy again but on my current budget I wouldn’t pay that much unless it also had fantastic thickening/lengthening capabilities.

A new segment I’m trying out where in I show my morning make up routine for various days and chat about what I’m doing that day. Not really a tutorial, more of a random girly chat while we get ready together in the bathroom 😉
Today’s style features another version of the plum look I’ve been wearing a lot lately, this one has a lot more white ^_^

Time for another random morning make up video in which I do my make up and we chat.
Today is another version of the plum I’ve been wearing a lot of.
This is usually how my morning make up starts off.
Primed and reasy to be awesome.
Yay tea and it’s magical properties.
So getting started, foundation routine first as usual.
I started with pink highlighter under my brow.
I’m so excited about this year, a lot of the things James and I have been working towards are finally happening.
The light purple shadow all over the lid.
This year hopefully we’ll finally be able to buy a house.
I added the plum to the crease and outer 1/3rd of the eye.
We’ve been trying for almost 4 years now so I’m excited.
Next I blended it all together using a fluffing brush.
We’re looking at CBD apartments at the moment, we can’t decide if we like the idea of city lifestyle or living far out and having more space.
I put a thick line of white pencil over my lash line.
It would be nice to have a proper craft room again and James wants a photography studio but I love living in the city so much.
Then added some more white to the middle section of the lid.
If we lived out in the middle of no where we’d have to buy a car again too.
Tea break.
Again I blended the white out with a fluffy brush.
I really love living in the city and having everything within walking distance. It’s great for being able to meet new people everyday too.
I added a fairly thin line of eyeliner to the lash line with a bit of a wing.
I actually really love our current apartment but the ones for sale in the building are a bit out of out price range.
Mascara and false lashes next.
In a perfect world we would probably move over to Docklands, the apartments there are really nice.
Much more expensive than the CBD though.
I topped it off with some Bourjois Rose Exclusif lipgloss which goes on clear then reacts to the PH of your lips to change into a unique colour. I love gimmicks and the colour is actually really nice.
All done.
And who knows, maybe this is the look I’ll be wearing when we finally settle on a house.
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
Bye!
