Don't we all just love when a new beauty product launches? The packaging – all new and shiny; the (sometimes dubious) manufacturer claims; using it for the first time.

Bliss!

Here in SHEmazing HQ we are pretty beauty obsessed – so we've looked into the new products that are launching this month. Admittedly, some of them are 'investment' items, but sometimes it's worth splashing the cash a little.

If we had to pick one beauty product we couldn’t live without, mascara would more than likely be at the top of the list. Don’t make us choose please, that’s just mean.

For a lot of make-up addicts their mascara is like a security blanket they just don’t want to give up. . However! Mascara application is something that should be so simple, but can also go terribly, terribly wrong.

Smudging clumping and even sneezing are all little mishaps that we end up facing at some point.Unless you’re a mascara god. Fortunately, there’s some easy tricks that you can use every time to ensure flawless application. No falsies necessary, yay!

If your mascara has gotten a little dry, or become too thick to use, soak it in a cup of hot water for a few minutes to loosen it up for easier application.

If you want the all-day staying-power that waterproof mascara provides, you can expect it to be tougher to remove at the end of the day. Use a normal mascara as a base and then apply a coat of waterproof mascara over the top. Unless you can pull off the single tear drop like Lauren…

If you want to go all out with your long lashes, go for a lash primer. Consider it the same as a foundation primer for those who are serious about wearing some dramatic lashes all day every day. It gives your lashes better grip so your mascara goes on easier and smoother.

The old reliable technique to get the best of your mascara means you shouldn’t pump the wand in and out of the container as it dries it out faster. Instead swirl the wand around the container.

Avoid clumps by wiping off the tip of the wand with tissue so you don’t have the feeling of terror of your lashes becoming one big clump of uni-lash, no one wants that.

Get the most out of your eye lash curler with a hair-styling staple. Your hair dryer. Give your curler a blast of hot air for longer-lasting curl. Just make sure it’s not too hot before you use it, you don’t want to lose any of those precious lashes.

When it comes to our daily beauty routines, many of us would be hard pressed to go without our mascara, right?

We might be able to sacrifice our bronzer or reluctantly go bare-lipped for a few days, but most girls will admit that without their mascara they can look tired or drained. So we do really appreciate that extra boost around our peepers.

To really maximise your look and make the most of your favourite mascara, be sure to follow these tips and tricks and get all you can out of this beauty essential.

Work from the inside out!
Did you know that conditioning your lashes is just as important as conditioning your hair? Give your lashes the TLC they deserve by investing in a lash conditioner which will nourish the lashes and in turn create a smooth surface on which to apply your mascara.

Use that curler!
Do you use an eyelash curler on the daily, or is it more of a special occasion thing? Try to incorporate the curler into your daily regime and see the difference immediately! Always remember to apply the curler to bare lashes and if the curler can be warmed up by a quick blast from your hair dryer, all the better!

Comb it out!
You could be wearing the most expensive or luxurious mascara on the market, but it won’t do your lashes any justice if they’re clumping together like spider legs. Ew. Investing in a lash comb is a smart move if you really want a set of beguiling lashes!

Grab a spoon!
Hold a spoon underneath your eye when applying mascara to your bottom lashes. This will stop inconvenient mascara smears on the skin and will give you a better chance to coat each individual bottom lash.

Powder up!
Allow each layer of mascara to dry before applying the next layer. If you’re looking for some extra oomph around your eyes, then dust a little translucent powder on your lashes between applications. This will guarantee a plumped up, voluminous look that false lashes just can’t provide!

If you follow these tips and tricks for each and every mascara application, you'll be able to scratch false lashes off your beauty shopping list for good!

When it comes to taking pictures, your eyes can often let you down, especially if you have dark circles and your mascara leaves little to be desired.

Thankfully, Smashbox Cosmetics are here to help. Basing their products on what goes on at a photoshoot, they understand just how crazy and demanding life can get.

With this in mind, they have developed both an eye cream and waterproof mascara that’s beautiful to wear and feels great too.

Smashbox’s BB Cream for eyes illuminates, conceals and works as an eye cream all in one.  Their new camera ready BB cream eyes fades the look of dark circles instantly and over time, reduces the appearance of puffiness, visibly smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, noticeably improves firmness, primes, protects, conceals, hydrates and illuminates!

It comes in five different shades: fair, light, light/medium, medium and dark, so you shouldn’t have any problems finding one that suits your tone.

Inspired by the on-set technique of layering lengthening fiber mascara over a volumising formula, their new waterproof full exposure mascara will expose your longest, fullest lashes without clumps or flakes to create maximum, scene-stealing lashes!

What’s better, the mascara is sweat and humidity resistant and will stay put for up to 10 hours.

Perfect for when we’ve had a few too many late nights…

Keeping your eyelashes primed and protected will go a long way in ensuring they stay full and healthy for a long time.

Don’t wear mascara every day
For some this is a pretty big deal. But those days when you are just lazing about the house don’t wear it. Give yourself a day off or even a few hours off and your lashes will thank you for it.

Take mascara off every night
If you are waking in the morning with mascara gunk on your eye it means you didn’t take it off properly the night before. Invest in a good eye make-up remover and make sure it is off before you go to bed at night.

Be gentle
When using curlers or a mascara wand, go gently. While it may take a little longer to get your desired look, your lashes will be the better for it.

Clean hands
Make sure your hands are clean before you put them anywhere near your face. Eye infections are not nice and some can even cause your eyelashes to fall out.

Give them nutrients
Use mascara that contains Vitamin E and other minerals. Lash serums are pretty good and help to stimulate lash growth.
