BENEFIT THEY'RE REAL MASCARA REVIEW

Mascara is probably my number one go-to beauty product. I don’t think I could live without it! A good mascara can make all the difference but when it comes to choosing a mascara it can be a minefield! I’ve tried so many different mascaras which all promise to thicken, lengthen and boost my lashes. For a while now I have been using Estee Lauder’s Sumptuous mascara which I do find is a really good product but I decided to switch things up and opt for a new mascara which I hadn’t tried before. So the chosen product.. Benefit’s They’re real Mascara.

I love the packaging of the Mascara and it remains true to Benefit’s quirky style. After removing the tube from the packaging though I did think it was a little smaller than your average tube of mascara and definitely smaller than my previous favourite Estee Lauder. However the mascara brushes bristles are great for creating lengthened lashes and helps to make your eyes look bigger and wider. The actual formula itself is great and after a few coats you're good to go. I’d definitely recommend this mascara and I think I might have found a new favourite!

BLOOD SWEPT LAND AND SEAS OF READ

When I first heard about the art installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red which was to be held at the Tower of London I immediately knew I would love to go and visit. The installation marked 100 years from the First World War and was set to be a poignant memorial. In total 888,246 ceramic poppies were hand crafted and filled the Tower of London’s moat. Each of these individual poppies represents a British soldier who lost their life in the war.

Prior to my visit I’d seen the poppies in photographs and on the TV but when i visited the installation it really showed the true greatness of the display. The display was so powerful that many visitors fell silent whilst gazing at the poppies. The scale of the installation was so visible when I saw it in person as any pictures id seen just didn’t do it justice. The scale really reflected the magnitude of how many brave soldiers lost their lives and how terrible the war was. I felt honoured to be able to see the installation and was so pleased that i managed to see it before the poppies are all taken down on armistice day-11th November. Each poppy was sold which raised millions of pounds for six service charities which I thought was a really amazing idea.

Seeing each poppy surrounding the Tower of London was such an eye opener and really made me stop and think and appreciate how lucky we are. I’d recommend anyone to go and see the amazing installation before all the poppies are removed on the 11th. I found it to be truly awe-inspiring. Here's a few pictures I took when i visited..
