From Daytime to Playtime: Gary Cockerill Pro Lashes

Gary Cockerill 'Damsel in a Dress' Twin Pack (Daytime to Playtime) Pro Lashes, £14.95, available from GaryCockerill.com. Model also wears Benefit They're Real mascara, Barry M Blink Precision eyeliner and New CID Cosmetics i-colour long-wear cream eyeshadow in Zinc.

These lashes are totally amazing, one of the best ranges I have ever worn. And believe you me, I have worn so many pairs of lashes that my bottom draw looks like a dropped scene from Arachnophobia. 

The base strip of the lashes (where you apply the glue) is really fine and flexible, which means they stick down brilliantly in the very corners of your eye. These lashes looked really natural yet 100% glamour puss at the same time... perfect!

The cute thing about these lashes is that you get a pair for day wear (pictured above) and a more dramatic pair for wilder evenings (pictured below) Both pairs stayed firmly in place until I removed them, no lifting or unsightly drooping. 10 out of 10.

De-Frizz & Shine: Mark Hill's Glam Goddess

Mark Hill's Glam Goddess De-Frizz Shine Serum, £6.49 for 50ml, available from Boots (where there's also a 2-for £7.50 on Mark Hill's range... oh hello there happy beauty blogger!) 

Winter is well and truly underway, which means it's frightfully nippy. It also means it is time to take those extra hair care measures to make sure your mane stays healthy, full and glossy. 

I'm already a fan of Mark Hill's hair products, despite the fact that I'm relatively new to them. Ever the shallow beauty magpie, I was enticed by the trendy packaging and the reasonable price tag (I'm a regular user of the rather pricey MoroccanOil, at £12.95 for 25ml) so as a cheaper alternative, I thought it was definitely worth a try. 

Overall, I was really pleased with this product. I have a number of friends who find the intensive de-frizz oils (such as MorrocanOil) too heavy for their hair, especially on a regular basis. If you're in a similar beauty boat, then give this product a try. It is light, smells lush and does leave hair visibly smoother. Just squirt a pea-sized amount into your palm, spread it across both of your hands, then work through damp hair (avoiding the roots). 

Dry as normal, you glamourous little arctic foxes!
