'BROW's That!'' | Seventeen's Browzings DUPE! | Review


Hey guys, as you know I had my most popular post on the 'BROWdrama Mascara' which im very thankful for! almost 3000 views just on that one post, so thanks thanks thank :) 

So I can see that you lot are interested in the brow business! and today I am reviewing Seventeen's BROW'Sthat!. This product is a great dupe of the Browzings if your wanting something cheaper in the drug-store range. I for one am all about drug-store purchases (student budget!) and was so pleased to see this for only £6 in Boots! 

It comes with a pencil to fill in large areas of sparse gaps in your brows, a wax, setting powder, and to my delight a highlighter as well!

The pencil isn't too dark for my brows even though they are almost black! I don't like black bushy brows so this pencil is nice as it is a brown (I don't suggest blonde people to use it) unless of course you like that look!

It comes with a guide sheet as well, and a mirror! what more could you ask for.  The guide sheet is very useful giving you 3 easy steps. You fill in your brows with the pencil, and then the rest is to keep them in place with the wax and setting powder. In any case you could be spending alot of time on your brows but it also allows you to do them super quickly as well!

I found that if you have dark brows and you have little hairs coming through then use a little bit of highlighter as it goes a long way and directs the eye away from your untidy brows! 

Overall I am very pleased with this product. Highly recommendable for people on a lower budget however, if you do like the 'scouse brow' then I would suggest trying the expensive Browzings, as i found they made me look like Cara Delevigne! 

Let me know what you guys thought of this review! and if you want any products being reviewed as I love recommendations :)

Lipstick! | Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick Review


So today I purchased two more Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipsticks to add to my 107, which I love love love. I bought the colours 05 and 111. Loving these as well! Creamy for a good while, last well on the lips after eating and drinking and don't often need touching up, woohoo!

107
Bought this one a few weeks ago, I was looking for a darker red to be simmilar to le-happy.com, a girl I follow on instagram who also blogs. This is a really nice colour and doesn't really dry you lips out unless you eat food or drink. I found it didnt totally remove itself onto my food which is dashing but I did feel that I needed to put a bit more on after drinking as it went all over the plastic lid but apart from that it stayed on a good six hours!

05
Slightly brighter than I thought it would be, I still think this a really nice colour without being a really bright pink but still enough colour for people to notice. I've worn this for 3 hours today and so far it's still on! This one isn't part of the matt collection, so it's still got a slight shine while not being lipglossy or 'hey hair come stick to my lips!' Which is ideal because that frustrates me soo much.

111 
I really like this red, wore it for about five mi utes to take a photo but I didn't feel it made my teeth look yellowish like another Avon red lipstick I have does. Not as Matt as the 107, how ever as I said I only wore it for five minutes around the house, I'm sure it'll mattify after a little bit.

I would definitely reccomend these to a friend! Creamy, nice colours, don't wear off as much as my other lipsticks from Avon do and can be purchased from Boots for £5.49. If you go there soon you will find a deal 'buy one get one half price'.

Hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what you think in a comment, and follow me on Bloglovin, Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr!:)

Eyebrows! | Maybelline BROWdrama Sculpting Brow Mascara Review


Hi Everyone! During my birthday shop I came across Maybelline's 'Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara', I have been wearing it for a few days and combining it with my previous eyebrow pencil and putting this over the top resulted in a much nicer and more natural look than the BrowZings, which a Boots Benefit lady put on my eyebrows, unfortunately they looked a bit caterpillary so i didnt buy the BrowZings but came across this product! 

I think this is a really good idea from Maybelline but they need to sort out the wand. For a first try the product looks good packaging wise, but I feel the wand isn't quite right and there should be a pointed tip on the end as well as the rounded bit to really get the pointed edges that I usually go for with my eyebrows.

Apart from this, the only set back with the Brow Drama is that if you apply to much your eyebrows will feel a bit crispy, but if you just build it up without applying too much at once you should be okay! This is a new product so there was a discounted introductory price in Boots for I believe £4.00 (but dont hold me to that).

Let me know what you thought about this post in the comments below, or if you want me to review any products your interested in!
