Eye brow

I have always used brow powder (well eyeshadow) until very recently I tried a brow gel from Rimmel, it's very effective. 
' Brow this way ' I simply apply the product to the bulk of my hairs and then with a angled brush, I brush out the product to make the perfect eyebrow shape. To do it with the applicator is very difficult as you easily get product everywhere and its difficult to sort out. It clings to every tiny hair and is hard to remove easily if you make a mistake, so you have to be very careful. I think this product makes me eyebrow shade appear more natural and stays ALL day. I find myself removing it at night as it's stayed put all day, no matter what I've done. 



I bought this of a whim, I was literally in Superdrug and saw it and thought oh why not, it was only £3.99, so if I didn't like it, it wouldn't exactly break the bank, If your looking for a new brow product, or if you want to try something different then try this out its very good for the price!

Real techniques

Duo fibre make up brush set
This is a lovely gift idea or something to treat your self with, which is obviously what i did. I really tried to fight temptation but I've been defeated, and found myself at the time, with my purse open!
For the price i couldn't complain, this set cost me £20 for 5 brushes, which considering some of the real techniques brushes are around £10 each, how can i feel guilty for getting such a good deal?
Most people have tried real techniques brushes, and if you haven't have you been under a rock? or just unable to commit to buying one. Go out now and buy any! Some of them are better than others. The blending brushes is my favourite, but it depends if your really into foundation, some people prefer the eyeshadow blending brushes;each to their own. 
These 5 are silver handled rather than gold or the other colours available, and they are beautifully soft to the soft. 
You get a few different brushes from blusher to eye shadow. 
Go on treat yourself today
Normally it retails for £30, but its on sale in superdrug for only £20!!

A new foundation!!

Yes another new foundation, it's one I've been after for ages and have finally bought it myself it's the ' loreal true match' I read so many good things about it like a lot of new foundations. 
The consistency is really different to many other foundations I've used, its a lot runnier but it goes on easy and smoothly. 
The colour shade i bought is ' Ivory ' It isn't the lightest there was one other one, but that one looked a lot to light for my skin type.
The colour matches my skin very well. 
I'm impressed with first impressions but i can only comment correctly, when I've used it for a while, and how long it lasts on the skin, because for now i haven't worn it enough to know how long it would last. 
It was £9.99, from superdrug but i know that Boots is the same price, but some time ( a lot of the time ) at one of the shops there is normally a 3 for 2 deal so watch out for that because you save a decent amount of money. 
So far so good!!

Eye shadow palets :)

Until recently I never wore eye shadow. And then I hate going out without it. Only if I'm wearing a full face of makeup. Obviously there are days when I only wear a bit of foundation. So it's not always an essential. I have a few palettes I never really bother with singles one, I think I'd lose them.this palett is by sleek, it's my faviorute one. I really like the colours, I'm not really one for bright colours so the natural ones are all I use. This one has matte colours, and glittery ones. I like that because it makes a bit of a change, the black is a bit dark but I just avoid that one. To buy In ' superdrug ' it is £7.99 but you might actually be able to buy it from somewhere online a little cheaper. It comes with a brush, I dont use it but others might like it. And a huge mirror, the mirror comes in handy at times. 

The next one in the mua heaven and earth palett. This one is great for the price! You get loads of neutral colours that blend well together and look good on any occasion. Day time or night time wear. There are some I use more than others, but I don't mind for the price. This one also came with a brush, but it's the same sort and I just can't get along with them very well. The only thing is unlike the sleek one you don't get the mirror. This one is £4 in superdrug, I know that mua are exclusive to superdrug, but I know they have an nine website where you can purchase online. This one is the ultimate collection also by mua, and look at it it has so many different colours. It's beautiful, obviously as I keep saying I like natural colours so I only use certain ones, but least I have them if I ever need them for some occasion. This one was £8 from superdrug, as you can see the same brush ( getting boring now ) with no mirror. But this one has some of my best eyeshadows I have ever used and I really do like this one.

Thank you for reading. Sorry I've been slaking recently I promise I'm doing my best to get back up to date.
