Brow tastic

Hey Blogletts,
I haven't been into brows for long, however I have got into a routine which fits me rather well.
A little history on my brows, I used to have them waxed however I now just pluck. They are not quite the shape or fullness I want them to be, however I am working on it.

So to fill in my brows I use 2 powders. First of all on a day to day basis I use an MUA shadow in ..... This is just a natural colour to give some definition, also great for those with lighter brows.
The second colour is a dark, matte brown colour in the Sleek Storm pallet. I use this for more of a dramatic brow look and if the rest of my makeup is plain.

I have rather unrully brows and if I dont set them, they stick up and down and move it all around (mumbo no 5 quote there). So to set my brows I run the MUA clear mascara through them which is cheap, cheerful and works a treat!
Although I am happy with this and it works for me, I am always open to try new things so if you have anything that you think is fab please let me know.

Hope you enjoyed

Bye for now xx

Rimmel Wake Me Up

Hey Blogletts,

So I have a little review here for you on the 'wake me up' foundation and concealer by Rimmel.
I bought the concealer quite a while ago and let me tell you it is fab! It has hilighting qualities however not too much so it can be used on blemishes. It is has a light consistency however gives a good amount of coverage .... a good alternative to the Collection Lasting Perfection which I find a little too thick.
Now I was a little sceptical about the foundation. I have oily skin, as I bang on about all the time, so a foundation that claims to be radiance boosting is my worst nightmare. However as it is colder outside my skin tends to dry up a little so I jumped in with both feet and I do not regret it. This foundation is glowy, good coverage and doesn't make me too greasy. The one little downside is the shade range of the foundation. It is not very good for pale skin types and it is a tad dark for me but as long as I blend well I can manage it.

Overall I would definately reccomend this range to anyone.

Have you tried it?

Empties #2

Hey Blogletts,
So I feel as if I have got to the point in which I have used enough products to do an empties blogpost.

No1. Lush's Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh Facemask

This was a really great facemask and I reccomend it for those of you with acne prone skin. This aims to reduce and prevent blemished, which it certainly did, the day after I used this my spots were seriously reduced not angry beasts. The only downside of this product is that it goes off rather quickly, due to it being fresh, that is why there is some product left. Plus a little goes a long way so it is tricky to use this up in the time it is still fresh.

No2. Aveeno Cream

This is a really simple but great moisturiser. If you want a really deep moisturiser without harsh smells then this is for you, cheap, cheerful and does the job.

No3. Bodyshop Seaweed Clarifying Toner

I must say I'm not the biggest toner fan in the world, however I did enjoy this product. I felt like it just cleaned my skin that little bit more, making it feel fresher and soothing, helping reducing the redness of spots. I really enjoyed this product however I want to try other toners, but I feel I may revert to this.

No4. Elemis Fruit Active Rejuvinating Mask

This part of a sample pack I recieved. I had never tried any Elemis products so I was happy to try this and I was seriously impressed. It had an odd texture for a mask, making me scepticle as it was a thin, moisture texture. BUT it worked, my face looked brighter and felt smoother, making me want to try some more elemis products, even buying the full size of this,

No5. Clarins Hydraquech Cream

I absolutely fell in love with this product. In the evening I like to use a thick moisturiser and this was just amazing. However it is a little pricey so I desperately want to repurchase but my conscience won't let me.

No6. Clearasil Spot Cream

This product was just not for me. I felt like it did nothing for my spots whatsoever it was just another cream on my face which was completely useless. A positive about this is that it lasted forever, but I will not be repurchasing.

No7. Collection Extreme Felt Tip Liner

I love this liner. It is so easy to use, pigmented, it's matte and it lasts. Just perfect and I will be repurchasing as it is pretty cheap.

No8. NERDS

These sweets are just 'da bomb'. They are sweet, sour and just fab. If you haven't tried them, try to find an American sweet shop and get them as you won't regret it I promise!

So what have you used up lately?

Bye for now xx

Revlon 3for2

Hey Blogletts,
Revlon is a drugstore brand which I hear a lot of hype about and have tried 1 or 2 of their products, but never really gone crazy for them. So when I was trawling my local boots and on all revlon products it was a 3for2 offer. I had to pick up some makeup for a barbie look, so I took advantage of this offer.
First of all I got one of the new Photoready Cream Blushes in 100 pinched.
Pinky blushed can tend to make me look as little ... flushes or punched in the cheeks, so I thought I would try a peachier colour and I am looking forward to testing this out.

Next I picked up the Colourstay Quad in 535 Goddess.
When I saw this I instantly thought Barbie so I thought this would be great for a Barbie look.
It includes a light shimmery colour, a pink, a taupey colour and a sparkly black.

Finally I got a Super Lustrous Lipstick in 424 Amethyst Shell.
Again I saw this and instantly thought Barbie. There was another colour I was contemplating getting however it was a matte shade, which I am not too keen on.
