Urban Decay Perversion Mascara and Subversion Lash Primer || Review

The last time I was excited for a mascara release was when Benefit released They're Real- unfortunately I was hugely disappointed. For me, it did nothing it was supposed to and it was a royal pain in the backside to remove, so when I heard Urban Decay were releasing a new mascara that was supposedly incredible I was sceptical to say the least. 

But after reading several rave reviews online, I decided to take the plunge and see whether Perversion worked any better for me. At £17, it's a tad more expensive than my beloved The Falsies, but so far I think it might be worth it. 

For a limited time, Perversion comes with a free sample of Subversion  lash primer. I've been using the two together for the past few days and I have to say, I'm impressed! There's something special in this blacker than black formula that makes it immune to clumping no matter how many coats you apply. And something else that makes it different to any other mascara I've tried is that you can easily reapply later in the day- not that you need to- so if you're the kind of person who likes a subtle lash during the day but wants to pump up the volume for the evening then you can easily add a couple of extra coats of this bad boy. I usually find that mascaras go a bit crispy and so make it nigh on impossible to add extra coats later in the day. 

Overall I am in love with this combination, the formula is creamy, it volumises and lengthens lashes and it's easy to remove. I'm not sure whether it's waterproof, but I'll be wearing it to see Les Miserables this Friday so I will edit this post once I find out ;)

Wish List!

I am now officially halfway through my last essay of this term, it's been a stressful few weeks but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Seeing as I have been working my bum off and payday is looming I thought I'd share with you a few of the things I hope to treat myself to over the next month or so.

1) Humlan Urbanears in Forget-Me-Not £39- I have recently taken up jogging and so have found myself using headphones far more often than I would normally. I've normally been more than happy with Apple headphones but recently I've found them to be really uncomfortable and they can fall out while exercising. I've heard great things about these and they're an adorable colour, it's a no brainer!

2) Topshop Joni Jeans £36- I already have standard blue Joni jeans but I just find them so comfortable I need more. They fit so nicely, even between washes, they're high-waisted so you don't need to worry about inadvertently exposing your arse and they don't do that annoying "I'm going to wear out in between the legs and give you even more of a complex about your thunderous thighs" thing.

3) Topshop Embellished Top £32- With spring trying to force its way into being, I'm fully prepared to embrace all things pastel and pretty. This top looks so easy to dress up or dress down and it would look really lovely with a little jacket on nights when it gets a bit cooler.

4) Sicilian Lemon Yankee Candle £16.99 (Medium Jar)- New seasons means new scents for me, during spring and summer I prefer fresher smelling candles. I had a little sniff of this beauty a week or so ago and found it fit the bill perfectly. I love Yankee Candles because I find that they have a gorgeous scent without being too over powering and they last for ages so, although they might be a bit more expensive than your average candle, you get what you pay for.

5) Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette £37- I have been umming and ahhing over this palette for so long. I already have the first two Naked palettes so I almost had myself convinced I didn't need this one. Almost. I saw it in the flesh recently and pictures do not do it justice, it's a collection of the most gorgeous pinky tones and, having experienced Urban Decay eyeshadows before, I know they will last perfectly, especially with a little bit of primer popped under them.

6) Topshop Little Mermaid PJs £20- I've just realised that these are now sold out on the website! Luckily I think they have a few in stock in my local store so I will pop there ASAP to have a nose, if not they have an equally adorable Jungle Book oversized T-shirt to sleep in. Anyway, it seems to be a continuing theme in all my sleepwear that it's cartoon based/very childish so these fit the bill perfectly!


And that's about it! What have you guys been loving/lusting after recently?
