Topshop mascara

Beauty Review: Topshop Mascara in Bitter Chocolate


Price: £8

Available from: Topshop

What it claims to do:
Super volumising mascara for false lash effect dramatically thicker and fuller lashes.

Rest the mascara brush at the base of your lashes and slowly pull through, wiggling the brush from side to side as you go to fully coat lashes. For full on lashes, coat both sides of upper and lower lashes, using as many coats as you need for dramatically thicker and fuller finish.

Our reviewer says:
I really like this mascara. It sets itself apart from the other mascaras which scream about giving you gloriously full eyelashes. The packaging is simple and effective.
It’s easy to use, easy to apply and it doesn’t clump. You can keep applying lots of coats to build up as dark or light a colour as required.
I really love the colour of the ‘bitter chocolate’ – it’s a really nice shade of brown giving a more natural finish than the usual jet black.

Final verdict:
The price point is good and I love it for being so simple but effective.
Overall, it gets a good all-rounder thumbs up from me!

She does the smokey eye and nude lips look really well and now we’ve discovered the secret behind her gorgeous lashes – L’Oreal’s Telescopic Mascara.

Yes, for just £9.99 you too could have lashes as flutterable as Cheryl’s! She said of the mascara ‘I discovered it one day and that was me sold. If I get my hair and make-up done, my eyelashes and eye brows are two things I always do myself’.

So, we’re sure that Cheryl will be dashing to the shops to snap up L’Oreal’s latest wonder mascara, Telescopic Explosion – well actually as she’s the face of L’Oreal, she’ll probably get it for free, but we’re sure she’s going to love it still!
