I recently discovered the L'Oreal Paradise mascara which I've been using for the last 5 months now and it's safe to say I'm totally hooked.

It's also one of those products that you can make as dramatic as you want.  For work I just apply one coat which you can see in the photo and it just gives a natural lift and look but for a night out (when we're eventually allowed out!) I would apply 2-3 coats for thicker, darker looking lashes. Share your favourite drugstore mascaras below! Lauren xx For more inspo follow me here @wonky_lauren *Post contains affiliate links*

One of my goals for 2021 is to stop buying trends and start investing in staples.  However, sometimes a trend becomes a staple which you can't always predict, here are some of my favourites that will definitely be sticking around: Smart Joggers Pre-Covid, joggers for me were always something I wore in the house only or maybe just to run errands or do the groceries.  Fast forward 12 months and having to work from home pretty much full time, I decided I wanted something a little smarter but still just as comfy and so my fiance bought me these smart joggers from Topshop which I think are the perfect mix of smart casual. Jumper Trousers Shoes Hunter Boots These definitely started as just a trend almost 10 years ago when I attended a lot of festivals.  I would never have worn wellies anywhere else but figured I would get my money's worth seeing as I was attending around 5 festivals a year.  Now, however, with my festival days behind me (okay, maybe the odd one once a yea
