This mascara micro-stretching fibres that bind together to build the length and intensity up to 1.2mm! And the thing is… it actually works! Take a peek at these pics of my lashes while I’m wearing False Lash Telescopic.

L’Oreal False Lash Telescopic mascara

You can see in the pictures, lovely long lashes and no lumps or clumps! It has a good slim brush as well, so you can get into the tiny wee lashes at the edges of your eyes.

Oh by the way, I only ever wear mascara on my top lashes, so that’s what you’re seeing in the pics! Below is a (rather blurry) pic of me with no mascara so you can see the length and volume this adds!

L’Oreal False Lash Telescopic mascara

There are two versions of False Lash Telescopic – ‘Magnetic Black’ and ‘Waterproof Black’. You can buy L’Oreal Lash Telescopic mascara from pharmacies, KMart and Farmers across New Zealand and it costs $29.99.

Yes to Cucumbers facial towelettes

Why do I love these? Here’s a quick list…

1. They’re super-wet. Yes I know that sounds a little strange, but they’re wet enough that you need just one to ‘wash’ your whole face, including mascara!
2. They smell incredibly fresh – admittedly I have a soft spot for cucumber beauty products ever since I got my first bottle of cucumber face wash from The Body Shop when I was in high school!
3. They are cheap as chips! You can buy Yes to Cucumbers facial towelettes at Countdown stores across NZ and they cost just $7.99 for a pack of 30.
4. They’re also all-natural and biodegradable.

Honey Ryder nail polish

Honey Ryder is a very pretty antique gold glitter nail polish. It’s glitter, but with the matte Liquid Sand finish that OPI introduced last year.

Honey Ryder nail polish in shade

I only needed to use two coats of Honey Ryder to get fabulous coverage, completely opaque and even. I do like this pretty gold colour, but it hasn’t wowed me like OPI Jinx nail polish, the first colour I tried from the Bond Girls range.

OPI Honey Ryder nail polish

There are six new Liquid Sand nail polishes in the Bond Girls collection, all named after iconic Bond Girls, so click through to take a peek! I’m still not 100% convinced about the Liquid Sand finish – love it on these two Bond Girls nail polishes, not so sure about it with Stay the Night polish from Mariah Carey’s collection.

You can buy OPI nail polish from Farmers and selected pharmacies across NZ and they cost between $24.99 and $26 each.
