Love it: L'Oréal Paris False Lash Butterfly Wings

During the summer months makeup is best kept to a minimum in my humble opinion, especially when you’re dealing with major humidity and regular dips in and out of the sea or the pool.

You can still look as polished as all heck however, with judicious use of the likes of bronzer, tinted moisturiser/BB cream, a little nude lip and some serious lash.

The mascara formula that I’ve been loving having a play with over the last few weeks is L'Oréal Paris’ brand new False Lash Butterfly Wings mascara, which has a super innovative ‘butterfly wing’ brush design that is one of the most unusual I have seen. The slightly asymmetrical design makes it way easier to grab each and every lash, all of which are immediately lifted for some serious sass.

The handle design takes a little getting used to but the application is really easy. Once the brush is pulled out of the tube, it is loaded with enough product to use as one full coat on your lashes. Personally, I like to use the smaller bristles first to coat my lashes and then the special butterfly side as a finishing effect, and I do love to load on a mascara when the rest of my face is bare. It has great staying power and even the hold of the curl was great, even after a whole day’s wear. It’s also available in Black or Waterproof Black, making it ideal for poolside wear, how glam-tastic is that?
