This was kindly gifted to me by Lola. It is the first liquid that I have tried. The doe foot applicator applies the right amount to the lips, giving both coverage and colour to the lips. The shape of the doe foot applicator also helps to line the lips before filling in and creates the perfect cupid’s bow. The liquid lipstick is not too runny or too thick, it is the right consistency to stay where it is applied. One coat gives enough coverage and doesn’t streak. Within a few seconds the lipstick is dry to a matte finish which is perfect for everyday wear, even if you are wearing jeans and a t-shirt. The lipstick doesn’t transfer to cups and glasses so there is no need to reapply throughout the day. My lips weren’t dried out by the formula they were nourished and hydrated, some matte bullet lipsticks have made my lips peel. This didn’t. It is easily removed using my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish with the muslin cloth. I didn't need to rub too hard to remove it.

The Perfect Date night comes with heavy expectations- to look good, to sound good, to feel good and also to find a match! What a herculean task! Let me take off a little burden by giving you the formula for an easy breezy look that can surely impress at your date night without going the extra mile! Red is too mainstream, how about surprising your date with a hint of pastels? If it sounds like a good plan, read on to find out more.
PINK CUT CREASE EYE LOOK
How about swapping the red for a soft/hot pink eye look? If you feel ominous to leave out the red we can still have the colour doing a peek-a-boo in this romantic cut crease eye look. Use a pale pink colour and sweep it across the lid. Darken the crease using a more mauvish pink colour. Cut the crease using a tacky concealer base and put a light red shimmer shade on top. I used the LOLA AUTOMATIC EYE PENCIL 01 CLASSIC BLACK on my lower lash line. This eye kohl is easy to work with and with a gentle small tipped brush you can smoke it out to create a more sultry look. Use the pink eyeshadow lightly under the kohl to create a nice gradient. A colourful eye palette with high pigmentation works great for this look.
LOLA Automatic eye pencil: £8.95
USE THIS MASCARA TO GET FLUTTERY LASHES
Get the flutters by using the LOLA INFINITE LASHES MASCARA. I have been hooked onto this mascara recently. The formulation is smooth and does not leave your lashes looking clumpy. Use two generous coats of the LOLA INFINITE LASHES MASCARA to impart length and volume to your lashes. As I am a contact lens wearer, I pay utmost importance to the safety of the product so that it does not irritate my eye as I have sensitive eyes. The mascara is enriched with with vitamin E, olive wax and bamboo. It is also vegan and dermatologically tested.
Infinite Lashes Mascara- £11.95
GET THAT PERFECT POUT
Pair your eye look with a neutral/nude lip combo that will allow your eyes to take the centre stage while still packing in a little of the drama. I am wearing the LOLA LIP PENCIL- 008 NUDE OBSESSION. With its rich, deep colour and a smooth, soft texture, it glides onto the lips with precision. Outline the ridges of the lip with a darker chocolate coloured lip pencil and fill in with the nude obsession lip pencil. This gives the appearance of a fuller lip. You can top it with a clear gloss. I decided to go matte. Totally kissable BTW!
Finish off with a nice setting spray.
Be ready to turn some additional heads!

Indulge Beauty very kindly sent me* some products from Lola Makeup – a beautiful Red lipstick, a black eyeliner and a black mascara and today I am here to give a review on those products and also to show you a look I created with these products (mostly the lipstick)
I have tried a lot of mascaras, but this is by far my favourite mascara EVER! that is such a big statement to make, but I have never used a mascara as good as this. It does have a plastic applicator which I don’t normally tend to get on with, however this blew me away. The wand isn’t too big, it is almost the perfect size. I hate those mascaras with massive wands, there is no way you will be able to do your top and bottom lashes. This wand is literally the perfect size, you can do your top and bottom lashes without any problem. I find that it coats all of my lashes, even the ones I didn’t know existed. It coats them all so evenly and gives them such a long spidery look (which I really like) but it also add volume more so to the bottom of the lashes. Sometimes I find that when I wear mascara that makes my lashes really long, the mascara starts to transfer to my eye lids which is super annoying – this mascara doesn’t do that. This mascara is so fab, I really enjoy using it every day. I can get away with wearing this mascara and build it up to look like natural lashes.
I think eyeliner is the sort of product that can be easily missed when it comes to makeup, however I do try and use it whenever I can. I have blue eyes so black really makes my eyes pop, but narrows them a lot and makes them look more longer rather than wider (if that makes sense) HOLY MOLY- this eyeliner is by far the best eye liner I have tried. I was actually shocked by the longevity of it. I would apply it in the morning and it will still be there by the end of the day. I normally use Rimmel eyeliner and find that it disappears throughout the day. It is so opaque and a little bit only goes a long way. It is also retractable which I definitely prefer to a pencil that you sharpen, they are a lot less hassle and just make life that little bit more simple. The liner itself is very waxy and I definitely think you could use it as a winged liner.
If you have ever felt stressed out when applying red lipstick.. then you need this red lipstick. I have found that it is such an easy precise application that I feel so at ease when applying this lipstick. The applicator is like a standard liquid lipstick applicator, but it has a good point to it so you can really get the lines right. The lipstick itself is so opaque, it doesn’t apply patchy at all. The colour lasts for such a long time that you don’t really need to apply it again. It is so creamy and buttery and really doesn’t dry your lips out, which I LOVE because I get such dry lips! I can’t believe that I have never tried one of these lipsticks before, I definitely need alot more colours! This lipstick completely blew me away, my new fave red lipstick!
My simple look created with these three products
Have you tried any of these products? what do you think of this look?

]]>Who for: Anyone who wants the false lash look without wearing them.
First impressions: Like the brush, formulation isn’t too thick.
After one week: Where has this been.
After one month: LOVE IT I MEAN I REALLY LOVE IT!
Stockists: Lola Website
I was extremely luck to be sent this by Lola. The first thing that stood out to me is the brush, it is slightly tapered and very flexible. The bristles are evenly spaced out with some a little longer. The short bristles make it easy to apply the mascara to the root which gives the look of tight lining. The longer bristles help curl the lashes and separate them. The shorter bristles at the tip of the brush help coat the lashes at the corners. It is buildable without clumping and there no bits under the eyes after a day’s wear. I like the fact that I can apply one coat and if I want to enhance my lashes more then I can apply a second coat without my lashes clumping together even if it is a few hours later. Not only do my lashes look fluttery and false they also reach my eyebrows when my eyes are open and stay curled all day. Both my IT Cosmetics Cleansing Balm and Miracle Water easily remove the mascara without rubbing and no residue left behind. Due to my dry eye I have to put drops in my eyes and use a heat pad on my eyes other mascaras have run and clumped together – this didn’t. I think I will treat myself to their Mega Volume Mascara in Brown for my birthday.

]]>Once again, I have been kindly gifted three more products from Lola Makeup. Just like on the first occasion, I was inspired to create a makeup look based around those products, and you can see exactly how I achieved that look as well as my thoughts on the makeup in the video below. However, if you would rather see a quick run down of each one, then just keep reading!
FINISHING BRUSH (AD)
With its two types of synthetic hair in differing lengths, this brush reminds me a lot of the Real Techniques Stippling Brush. I find it really effective to use for applying foundation as it distributes the perfect amount of product evenly across my complexion. The finished result looks airbrushed, leaving behind very minimal brush strokes which are easily smoothed out with my fingers. This has quickly become my new favourite tool for applying base products.
This is easy to apply, even for those of us who don't wear liner very often. The fine nib ensures a clean, precise line and would be ideal for creating sharp, cat-eye flicks. I use it just to bring some definition to my upper lash line, and it's great for that too. It glides on smooth as silk and is a beautifully pigmented, inky black colour.
MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK IN STRAWBERRY PECK (AD)
Having already had one of Lola's Matte Liquid Lipsticks before, I was excited to find I had been sent another. These have a lovely creamy formula to them and feel very comfortable to wear, with fantastic pigmentation that stands the distance through a night out. The shade Strawberry Peck is a gorgeous, vibrant pink that inspired the sunset vibe of the look I created over on YouTube.
Do check out my video if you'd like to see how I put it together.

]]>New Lola Mascaras Lola has been at the forefront of makeup artistry for years, with their support for bridal shows, the final series of Britain’s Next Top Model and the ongoing search for the Next Top Model in Spain. Expanding all the time Lola has become an industry go to and their reach goes as far as South Asia with India now becoming a Lola makeup fan.
They have expanded on this with three brand new mascara’s that are making waves and drawing eyes across Europe, the UK and of course South Asia. Lola has always been about professional grade makeup that is available to the consumer market and has become a social media darling with its range being so user-friendly.
Starting with the new Infinite Lash creates the ultimate, fluttery, false lash effect for eyelashes that are lengthened and defined to perfection. With a beautiful false lash effect, the infinite mascara is all about definition with its slim short bristled wand that along with the creamy texture is designed to help with the regeneration and hydration of the lashes.

The Waterproof Mascara is the beautifully strong and durable mascara you need, so you can swim, sweat, shower, laugh and cry and it will stay in place. Long lasting and designed to create a curl, volume, and length to the lashes.
The added bonus of the Lola range is the mascara brush designed to add the ultimate finishing touch to any eye look. Eliminate unwanted clogging, separate the lashes the spiral-shaped brush can also be used to brush through the brows.

It’s that time of the year again when I come out of my hibernation to sport my flamboyant side with my ‘fresh as a daisy’ makeup look! I was sent few items by LOLA MAKEUP to try out and give my reviews about the products and I thought what better way to put them to test than using it for this look. Read on to find out how to achieve this look and how the products from Lola Make Up fared!
EYE MAKEUP:
Pastel hues look vibrant in Summer and I opted for a pink/orange coloured eyeshadow on my lid. I used the LOLA AUTOMATIC EYE PENCIL 01 CLASSIC BLACK to create a winged eyeliner. As I have hooded eyes, I wanted my eyeliner to be thin yet prominent. The Lola eye pencil is easy to work with as it has a thin tip and can glide on the eyes like a dream. I have tried kohls in the past to create winged liners and it has failed as it tends to get uneven and even smudge. With the fine tip of the Lola Automatic eye pencil, I could create the fine wing that I wanted. The liner does not budge and stays put. You can also smudge as you like to create a more smoked out effect. Lola products are all vegan and cruelty free and that is an added advantage. For my lower lash line, I opted for a sea green coloured eyeshadow and used some holographic pressed glitter on my inner corner.
Wearing falsies can be quite daunting especially when you want a simple yet long-lasting look for the day. In this look, I have skipped the falsies altogether and instead opted for the LOLA MEGA VOLUME MASCARA. After curling my lashes with an eyelash curler, I applied two coats of the mascara both on my upper and lower lashes. The product was non-drying and non-clumpy. I would suggest using at least two coats of the mascara in order to get that voluptuous volume. I could easily remove it with an oil based cleanser later on. It also gave some definition to my lower lashes.
POCKET PINCH:
LOLA AUTOMATIC EYE PENCIL: £8.95
LOLA MEGA VOLUME MASCARA: £11.95
LIPS:
This is the part which can either make or break a look. For the fresh spring/Summer look, I reached out for the LOLA MAKEUP LOVE MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK 01 FIRST DATE. Now, I have a love/hate relationship with pinkish toned lip colours as I am quite choosey. This lip colour was a perfect blend of dark/light toned nudish pink which I would also wear on a daily basis. The formulation is creamy yet matte and not too drying. If you set it with a bit of translucent powder, it is quite non-transferable.
Finish the look with a setting spray and you are ready to slay all day long

]]>Disclaimer: *The products mentioned in this blog post were kindly sent over as PR in exchange for my honest opinions*
Today I’m going to be testing out a few products from a brand called LOLA Make Up. I was kindly sent over a little PR package from them which included a mascara, an eye pencil and a liquid lipstick for me to try out.
The Mega Volume Mascara costs £11.95. The Automatic Eye Pencil costs £8.95. The Matte Liquid Lipstick costs £7.95.
It is cruelty free, paraben free and vegan.
When I first opened the mascara I knew I was going to like the wand as its plastic bristles and is decent in size. The mascara also has a slight scent to it, nothing too overpowering but just bear that in mind if you are someone sensitive to scented products. The wand picks up a nice amount of product on the bristles and distributes the product well onto the eyelashes. Now it claims to be a volume mascara, however, I would say this is more lengthening than volumising… it does add a tiny bit of volume but nothing dramatic! The mascara is very black and just the right consistency for what I like, not too wet in formula but also not too dry. It could possibly transfer slightly if you’re not careful but it does dry on the lashes pretty quickly. Overall, I do like this mascara and will use it quite often. However, if you are on the look out for a volumising mascara then this probably wouldn’t be it. If you’re looking for a lengthening mascara then this is nice!
It is cruelty-free and vegan.
This product does not have a scent to it which is good for those who may be sensitive to scented products! I like how skinny this eye pencil is and the fact that it is a twist up pencil rather than sharpening is a win (I find pencils you have to sharpen so messy) When I swatched this and used it on my eyes the formula was so quick and easy to work with, its nice and creamy and has good pigmentation. You don’t have to press very hard with this product at all! It is a nice black eye pencil and lasts for quite a long time in the waterline without having to reapply constantly. If you want a new eye pencil then I would definitely recommend this one!!
There is 3.1ml of product in this. It is cruelty-free and paraben free (not vegan).
When I first opened the product I noticed that it does have a slight scent to it but nothing overpowering and you can’t smell it when its on the lips either. The shade I received is a nice mauve pink sort of colour. The formula of this liquid lipstick is quite moussy and has decent pigmentation to it. It applies onto the lips very easily and I dipped the applicator in twice which covered the entirety of my lips. The lipstick does dry down fully matte but doesn’t feel drying at all, it actually feels quite comfortable to wear. I think throughout the day this does have the possibility to crack and clump up in areas on the lips but overall it has good wear time to it. When removing the lipstick, it did come off very easily and didn’t stain so you may have to reapply if you’re eating or drinking with this on. Overall, I really like this lipstick however, I would have liked it to be slightly bigger as the applicator is quite small meaning you have to dip it back in when applying. If you want a mini sort of lipstick for travelling then I think this would be nice and if you’re into mauve pinks then this is a very nice shade!
I really like all of the products that I got in this little package and feel so grateful for being sent them over, just want to say a big thank you to LOLA Make Up

Product: Lola Make Up Automatic Eye Pencil.
Who for: Anyone who wants a precision line be it thin or thick.
First impressions: Very fine point that will line close to my upper lashes.
After one week: Once applied doesn’t smudge.
After one month: Can be smudged or blended creates a precision line.
Stockists: Lola Makeup
Sent free from GlamGeek.
I was lucky enough to win this Eye Pencil from GlamGleek for being their reviewer of the week.
This pencil is BRILLIANT. I can smudge it; I can blend it or leave it alone. Once I have applied it, it stays where I have put it. I have used it to draw a thin line close to my lashes and a thicker line when I am not wearing eyeshadow. It stays all day and is easily removed with Micellar Water and a cleansing balm. I did not have panda eyes, this attractive black rings around your eyes when eye make up won’t come off. You can easily create a winged eyeliner look with it. It doesn’t drag across the eye lid like some pencils can and the ability to increase or decrease the amount of ‘lead’ showing is great as this helped me create the winged part of the liner look by placing the pencil against my eye and slowly pulling it down towards my lash line. I have had a look at their website and the colours – are all the colours I like to wear. I think I will treat myself to the grey one next.

]]>Adding to their already beautiful makeup range, Lola has added the beautiful range of matte liquid lipsticks to their range. Beautifully wearable, these liquid lipsticks are multipurpose and can be worn as a cheek stain as well.
This ultra-matte liquid lipstick has a highly pigmented, multi-purpose lip & cheek stain formula, which combines jojoba oil and shea butter for hydrated pouty looking lips – without drying out.
With the Lola range, you are getting vegan and cruelty-free makeup, with pro-quality tied in (think Britain’s Next Top Model and you will get the idea). A prosumer range at heart, there is just something decadent about buying into this makeup as a consumer, it just looks sleek and with the packaging on the new liquid lipstick/blusher, it has just enough quirk to make it fun without losing that professional touch, making it perfect for brides.
Looking at the packaging we see a smart, sleek, tube that has the perfect applicator to sculpt and shape the lips. The colour range is wearable without being over the top, the range in itself is so carefully curated and put together its a dream range for fashionista’s and makeup artists alike. Perfect for a makeup bag, for a bride its a dream or an artist case, Lola struck gold again with this beautiful new lipstick.

When it comes to makeup, this vibrant and fresh hue adds the perfect pop of colour to any look. So we’ve put together our favourite LOLA products that embody this awesome colour so you can feel full the effect of Living Coral.
]]>#lolalivingcoral
I was kindly sent some products to try from LOLA Makeup by Perse. One of the reasons I was so excited to try their products, was because of the message behind the brand – for make up to enable women to feel empowered, be confident and enjoy life.
Additionally, they have a wide range of affordable products with a variety of different shades, so there really is something that will suit everyone's preferences.
When it comes to mascaras I usually either like it, or not – there really isn’t an in between for me. The Mega Volume Mascara does exactly what it says it does; provides volume and extra definition. The wand is perfect length, and the brush is soft and shaped so that you can get underneath the lashes and curl them upwards.
I’ll admit that when I saw the colour in the bottle, I wasn’t overly keen as I never usually lean towards pinks that aren’t nude. However, this shade is a gorgeous shade and it’s not as bright as I thought it would be. I would describe the formula of this to be more of a soft matte finish as it is hydrating and very comfortable to wear. The applicator is a really good size and helps to the apply the product smoothly. The thing I like the most about this liquid lipstick is that it doesn’t “bleed’ like a lot of other pigmented liquid lipsticks.
I prefer to use eye pencils on my waterline, however it is so difficult to find pencils that don’t fade. This retractable pencil is waterproof and smudge proof and so it lasts throughout the day. The pencil is pigmented and creamy which enables the product to apply smoothly. The tip is very slim, and so if you do use it on your top eyelid, it will help create a precise wing.
Lola Nail Polish has solved the problem of finding the right shade of nail varnish for every occasion, with their expert nail polishes and treatments that tie in perfectly with the makeup line, making it all round brand for beauty aficionados and makeup artists alike.
The Lola Nails Collection are a stand out for their ethical and 100% vegan colour range, a breathable, Patented Formula using gloss seal’R Technology giving up to 7 days glossy finish is a stand out of the range but it doesn’t end there.
Each colour collection is subdivided by spectrum giving you curated collections tailored to suit your needs and colour desires; from French manicure to full-on reds, allowing you to create something simple and elegant or dramatic and fierce.
The entire Lola Nail Polish selection is expertly put together to suit the most covetous of nail fans and offer a multitude of options that can be tailored to suit your mood. With a little fun thrown into the mix, think Poison Ivy from the Navy collection.
The addition of fun names like Pageant Queen and of course the patented technology the Lola makeup’s nail range is a dream for anyone who loves polish. From the pro-quality nail treatments to the nail varnish, there is something about Lola Make Up that catches the eye and makes you want to play and get creative. From subtle to sublime the colour range will suit any mood and with the gel technology, 100% vegan background and of course Britain’s Next top Model spokeswoman in Ivy Watson from Season 12, it’s easy to see why the brand is making strides in the industry and garnering attention.
