Soap & Glory Thick And Fast Collagen Coat Mascara

Soap & Glory Thick And Fast High Definition Collagen Coat Mascara £10.50 - link

Once upon a time this was one of my favourite mascaras along with the Thick & Fast Super Volume mascara also by Soap & Glory (which I do still like) but after a months and a new tube of this I'm finding it hard to see why I liked it so much.

It's nice for separating lashes and doesn't smudge throughout the day which is great especially considering it's not waterproof, but after using this for a couple of weeks that's really all I've found that I like about it. 

The formula is really wet which means that anything after one coat you're going to be left with spidery lashes that are all stuck together. Usually I'm a massive fan of bristle wands but this brush picks up a lot of product and the shape and size of it of it makes it hard to distribute evenly which just makes your lashes even more clumped together - it's really not a good look. It does add some volume to the lashes and is borderline okay at adding length but in comparison to other mascaras which are cheaper (and more expensive too) it doesn't come close at all and just seems like a complete waste of a tenner. 

I personally love a mascara to give me quite a dramatic look with a lot of thickness and definition which this, again, doesn't do. Because it's not buildable it makes it difficult to use no matter what look you're going for or what you want from a mascara.

I'm not sure if they've changed the formula or if this is just a completely different product from the one I loved a year ago but I was super disappointed with this.

Have you tried this mascara? What do you think?

4 Outfits: Kimonos

Not really the most difficult piece to style as it is essentially a more summery cardigan but sometimes it can look a little out of place and almost frumpy because of the shape so just in case you need a little inspiration I thought I'd share with you some of the outfits I think a kimono is the perfect finishing touch.

Look 1: Kimono, Top, Shorts, Shoes

Look 2: Kimono, Top, Jeans, Bag

Look 3: Kimono, Top, Jeans, Bag, Shoes

Look 4: Kimono, Top, Shorts, Sunglasses


As I say with all fashion posts I attempt, I'm sorry for my severe lack of colour and creativity when it comes to clothing, I'm a huge fan of simple fashion (clearly).

I hope this helped to give you some inspiration anyway! I'm definitely going shopping tomorrow to pick up the kimono in look one, I love it.


Are you a fan of kimonos?

I tried so hard to stay away from monochrome but, clearly, I failed miserably. I was more aiming for the style of clothes that I think will be great for Spring this year and I think it's best that I leave the colour choices to you.

I love having a look at what people pick from the highstreet and how they style pieces for different
seasons and occassions etc so I thought I would attempt my own take at that style of post. I've said it a hundred times but my taste in fashion is pretty boring and I usually stick to basic colours with only a few statement items dotted around my wardrobe for when I'm feeling brave. I have no idea why I've convinced myself that I can't pull of certain types or colours of clothes but I'm slowly getting there. I definitely have hope for the Summer anyway!


What's the main colour theme in your wardrobe?
Do you usually go safe with monochrome or brave and bold?
