Best Of Brows



 
Brows are something that I find super hard to get right. My brows grow so quickly that it's hard to keep a shape that I like for a prolonged amount of time. However with the help of filling in my brows I can keep them looking as best as possible. Although my hair is pretty dark my brows are quite gapy and so if I leave them I look pretty dead. I have already written a post on my brow archery HERE and I am still using this pretty much everyday for the pen however the waxy pencil side has decided to get stuck and doesn't want to be used. Which brings me on to the anastasia brow wiz, I have the shade medium brown. It is the perfect non orangey natural looking waxy pencil with a super fine nib which can be used for precision filling in. Brow wiz is about double the price of soap and glory's brow archery, however bro archery only comes in 2 shades a dark brunette and a blonde, so if you are somewhere in the middle it's probably a better idea to splurge a bit and invest in anastasias collection of 8 shades.
Powders although not my fave option, provide long lasting pigmentation and often come in ashy toned shades to suit all brow colours. The one I own is super old which I bought from eBay probably 3 years ago now. It was around £3 and to be honest I cant really fault it!
Gel/ cream is another really good choice although watch out as if the product is really glossy you can end up with your eyebrow hairs getting stuck together and just looking darker and wet which I can't say is a look I recommend going for. This elf one used to be a cult favourite in the blogosphere and still has a very good reputation for being fabulous as well as having a fab price tag of under £5.
Brow setting gels are always necessary! whether it adds colour or just sets the brows into place, I will always use a setting gel otherwise I will come home looking like I have been in a nasty accident with a razor getting too close to my brows! I haven't used the Great lash much as of yet but I can definitely vouch for the Maybelline brow drama on giving that bit of extra colour, setting the brows into place and not creating a nasty crispy- gel in hair like feeling.
I hope that this has been helpful,
please let me know if there is anything in particular you would like me to write about and I will try my best!
lots of love,
son x

The Shampoo That Saved My Hair

Image
Well that title sounds rather dramatic doesn't it! I'll give you a bit of background info about my hair, its all round difficult to manage, my ends get extremely dry if I don't take good care of them, my roots get extremely oily about 10 minutes after washing (only a slight exaggeration) and my scalp if stripped only slightly too much will begin to flake, how lovely.. So I find it very difficult to keep it looking clean, shiny and healthy, hence why I am automatically drawn to brands which I have tried and tested and know work. However a couple of weeks ago my shampoo of choice which I had been using for about 2 months (L'Oreal EverStrong) had ran out and on my dash to boots it was no where to be found. My mother picked up the Herbal Essences combo which names slips my mind at this moment in time, but it is in a pink bottle. I gave this a go as it looked okay and I had no other options but it completely ruined the state of my hair, after washing I found that my hai

A little bit of Luxury

 I feel that facial oils get a bit of a bad rep for causing breakouts by being too heavy and greasy on the skin especially for people get oily patches i.e. me, surely if you use an oil on your face it will cause your skin to become uncontrollably greasy and unpleasant, right? I put my hands up and admit that I myself always steered away from applying anything too oily onto my face for fear of my skin reacting badly And God knows what happening. However after receiving this Bobbi Brown Extra face oil I cautiously braved it and I must say, I am converted. Super lightweight and non greasy and is absorbed into the skin within seconds. It doesn't fill my pores and I have experienced no nasty skin occurrences whilst using this for the last couple of weeks every night. It softens the skin and injects a burst of moisture whilst plumping (sounds a bit weird doesn't it, promise it's a good thing) out the face giving you a really healthy, natural glow. The price is the only dow

Beauty On A Budget- Naked 2 Alternative

Image
         Like the look of Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette but not loving the price tag? Check out the MUA undressed palette from superdrug for an astonishing £4 compared the Naked 2 which is £37. Both come with 12 different really wearable bronzy shades. The pigmentation and colour pay off is obviously going to be quite a lot better in the naked palette but for the price you pay the MUA palette is a wonderful dupe and can create some equally as great smoky eye looks. If you wanna know more about the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette click  here  for my post on the full review and swatches of each shade. Okay guys, so I've decided to allocate particular days each week for posting new content, for the time being I will post 2 days a week, one day during the working week, most likely on a Wednesday or Thursday and then on a Sunday, I feel like this will give me a proper blogging routine and so you guys know when to come back and check out new content (if you would like t
