All About The Brows

Brows are taking over the beauty world and even though I've been tinting my eyebrows for a while I love finishing off my make up with a little added extra.

A few years a go for Christmas my mum bought me the Benefit Smokin Eyes Kit which I love, and in the kit is a brow gel that I'm addicted to. However the kit is to big for my make up bag so I went to the Benefit counter and found out that they do the gel in a single eyebrow kit with a powder.

Im not sure what my favourite part of this kit is as it all looks good no matter which bit you use. The gel on its own gives a very natural look but that little bit extra specially for erm 'none make up' days. The combination of the two is amazing and just how I personally think that eyebrows should look.

The brushes in the set are quite good in quality, the angle brush for the gel is just the right size and the mini powder brush gives a good coverage. These are my second pair of mini Benefit Tweezers as you get some in the Smokin Eye Kit to and I cant say enough good things about them. I think I actually prefer them to my rather expensive Tweezerman's as even though they are small they are sharp and precise.

I have tried a few different eye brow pencils and definitely prefer a gel and a powder. The only down side is the kit doesn't contain an eye brow comb but the lady at the counter gave me a few mascara brushes that work great.

Hope this as been helpful please comment is you have a favourite eyebrow product you would recommend.

Dry Skin Saver

Hello Everyone

Anyone that has read my skin care related blog posts will know that I suffer from eczema and very dry. I have tried so many different treatments from prescriptions to over the counter and none of them have had great results.

So over the past few months I've started to add to my skin care routine, firstly with the Liz Earl Cleanse and Polish, secondly with REN Facial Polish and finally with the Clinque Dramatically Different Moisturiser.
I have seen a difference in my skin its less dry and is a little brighter but by the end of the day it didn't last and it returned to its dry dull self.

I was informed that another way to get moisture into my skin was by using a serum. I pondered buying the Clinque one or another reasonably priced serum but in the end I decided to jump right off the deep end and purchased the one and only Estee Lauder Advanced night repair serum.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair

At the hefty price of £54 for 50ml I was very sceptical but after speaking to the Estee Lauder lady who informed me of their policy to be able to return any Estee Lauder product if you are unhappy with it, I decided to spend my hard earned money.

The result are defiantly worth the price! My skin has never been so under control, moisturised and clear. I am literally kicking myself for not buying this sooner! I have been pondering buying a Clarisonic but now I don't need to.

You only need about five drops of this after you cleansed and before you apply your moisturiser every night.

As this is my first Estee Lauder skin care purchase I couldn't be happier and defiantly will be looking at their other products . 

Thanks for reading I hope this has been helpful :)
