Benefit BADgal BANG! Mascara*

Just last week Benefit released a brand new product, 'BADgal BANG! Mascara' which is similar to their older mascara 'Badgal Lash'. However now having used both, I can see a clear difference in the two and why Benefit caused so much hype around this new product!

The packaging is a sleek matte black, which I was previously worried about when I first saw the new release online. Yet once it turned up at my door the next day, I saw that the sleek matte packaging worked amazingly with the metallic letters. This lid also has a strange bumpy texture but for someone like me who can never open packaging this added extra (even if this wasn't the purpose of it) helps me to always open the bottle even when I have foundation caked slippery hands!

Onto the actual product itself... The 'BADgal BANG! Mascara' claims to have full blast volume, lifted lashes as well as lengthened lashes. On top of everything they claim the mascara is also smudge-proof and water-resistant! I have been putting the mascara to the test for the past week now and have come to my little space online to share with you what I thought all about it.

'BADgal BANG! Mascara' definitely adds length and volume to my lashes and if you follow me on Instagram, then you would've seen me talking about how amazing the wand is with the fact it is so slim it reaches all the tiny lashes from root to tip! I didn't think this small wand would hold up to everything it claims to bring because of its size, trust me this wand doesn't hide away. 

The mascara is water-resistant because I struggle to take it off at the end of the day, even my trusty eye makeup remover struggles with it. The only issue I found with this mascara is that when I applied it onto my bottom lashes it added too much length and I found they occasionally left an imprint under my eye so I just apply a little less now, than I was before. 

Overall I am very impressed with the new Benefit 'BADgal BANG! Mascara', I even convinced my mum to order one with how different it made my lashes look. I will definitely be purchasing this mascara when I run out!

Hellooo!

So todays post is going to be a review of a new restaurant I visited with my family in Taunton. The Hideout is hidden of the edge of the main town next to a beautiful castle and Grande hotel. I posted a lot of photos because I love them all and I couldn't pick! The little boy is my youngest half-brother Nathan who is 4, and the other boy is my brother Callum who is 12!

I visited the restaurant back in May, with my dad’s side of the family. We stumbled upon the restaurant when walking through the lanes past the shops, looking for somewhere to eat our evening meal. We were welcomed by a lovely smiley team who all looked like they loved working there, and were all very enthusiastic! 

The menu has a wide range of different foods to suit everybody, especially when you are super fussy, which I am! I choose the burger which came with chips, coleslaw and onion rings. The taste was absolutely Devine I could happily eat another now. For dessert I then had the chocolate brownie and raspberry sorbet. This was just as good as the burger.

 The staff were lovely including the Manager whom all checked on us thought the meal making sure everything was okay with food and drinks etc.

Overall I had an amazing time, with great food and an amazing place to look around (not only the restaurant but it is also in a beautiful area too)! My littlest brother who can’t sit still for two minutes wanted to go exploring, so we did which is why there is lots of pictures of him and of all random things, like the ducks, that was his favourite picture! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who lives in this area or if you are passing by. Defiantly coming back!!
