Make up that I love





Eyebrows

I have a love hate relationship with my eyebrows. I am currently regrowing them as I have over plucked them compared to how I usually have them which is pretty thick, right now they aren't thin but they are definitely not how I would like to them to be. So  this means I get to look like a monster for a month or so :(

My eyebrows are dark and highly arched naturally, but they are sparse in a few areas around the top edges. I fill my eyebrows using Ruby and Millie I- Define brush £6.50, which is great its not too wide and chunky so it allows me to place product exactly where I want it with a nice clean finish. I fill my eyebrows in with Smashbox Brow Tech in 'Brunette' £18.00, personally I find this powder too powdery if that makes sense and too ashy for me.feel that it shows on my eyebrows too obviously in the light, eventhough I use a light handI hate overdone brows. However the wax holds the powder well and does keep your eyebrows hairs in place for hours.
After gaining the courage to regrow my eyebrows I am  hoping that I wont need to fill in my 
eyebrows after as

My eyebrow once it is filled


Eyebrow envy- I love all of these ladies eyebrows, I guess this is the sort of shape and thickness I am aiming for.


Dandruff

Nivea Body lotion around £3


Just in time for the season... i thought as there are always certain home potions people are asked to throw together  to get rid of this problem, even though i don’t suffer from the problem,  I sometimes find myself having a flaky scalp when I’m stressed out. It not only adds to any extra stress but it makes you feel down n just plain ugly L yes i used the u*word. But actually there is a little method I have come up with, if you use nivea body lotion for dry skin on the scalp it should really help?! I left it in overnight and it just worked for me.. so i thought i share the method.
Apart from everything else, it is a great product all around, great for the skin!

Gorgeous colour it is the perfect nude for my skin tone(olive/tan), however I think this would suit all skin tones. Its not too brown or muddy therefore it doesn't dull your skin, it has mauve/dusky undertones to it. This colour goes with everything! Its perfectly on trend and can also be worn casually as it is such a natural colour. The consistency of this nail polish is kind of thick, which can make it annoying to apply , its so much easier to apply on short nails. I wear two coats for a even finish however you could get away with one coat.  


 Haymarket-Nails Inc.
 I am a huge fan of pastel coloured nail polishes.I think it is a great way of adding a pop of colour into your outfits. This as you can see is a cool shade of mint however it is not chalky or too blue or green, its just right. I would usually wear pastel colours in summer, however this colour is really versatile and works in winter great if worn with something dark without looking too summery. I think this colour looks best on short/medium length nails, look kind of tacky on long nails.You only need one coat of this and your done!

Banish Pale Skin...

(1)Tinted Moisturiser : Nivea Visage
Price: £3.99

(1) Nivea Tinted Moisturiser

A bit Pale? This is a great Product for adding a bit of colour to the face, it gives you a healthy glow

Texture: Soft, just like the cream, may seem a bit oil but it feels great on the skin as if you are wearing nothing. I loved the feel it had.

Why I chose it?: im very pale, sometimes i can have a perfect night of resting.. and wake up just looking dull.. But this has given me colour and it is light enough to not feel like foundation.. so by adding blusher and some eyeliner you do not feel caked * a feeling many girls hate

Tip: try warming up your hands before use and maybe after you have cleansed the skin (water.. first lukewarm and then cold) for a better effect

(2) Radiance Boosting Moisturiser
Price :£6.49

(2) NIVEA VISAGE Natural Beauty Radiance Boosting Moisturiser 50ml



Great product again, I would say this is a good product for the summer, it gives that glow feel

Texture: it feels a bit thick and slimmey? does not sound nice but if applied in tiny amounts on the cheeks and forehead it does what it says, which is to boost radiance



Would suit darker skin very well, hence the 2 hearts as it does not do much in the winter, as i prefer the tinted moisturiser

(3) Neutrogena Visibly Clear Moisturizing Cream 50 ml

Price:
£3.75
 
Very light, not sticky and as it says oil free, it keeps my skin feeling fresh and moist

I use it to help even out my skin int the morning
