My Eyebrow Routine || Ultra Aqua Brow Tint...

From having an issue with the delivery of my Anastasia Dipbrow I decided to look for another option. I looked at lots of other blogs and having used lots of Makeup Revolution products (my collection is gathering rapidly) and finally decided to buy the Ultra Aqua Brow Tint which comes in four shades and £3 each.

It says on the website that it is a 'smudge-proof eyebrow tint, that fills, defines and lengthens your brow'. I think it lives up to what it claims but does smudge a little if you touch it too much.

Saying that I haven't had a problem in wearing it all day and still having perfect eyebrows before I take my make up off when getting ready for bed.

I bought two colours to mix together to create my perfect shade of brown to match whatever hair colour I have. Currently I have dark brown ombré with lighter tips but my brow hairs are much more fair, even though I get them tinted through having HD brows. This picture is from my most recent session, picture from my amazing HD brow lady, Aline Kaloudi.

To get my shade of brown I use 1 part of the dark mixed with 2 parts of the light shade which you can see below. I then use my Zoeva 317 Wing liner brush to mix and apply the colour.

Below you can see step by step pictures of the stages I go through to create my brows.

Firstly I create a line from near the front of my brow to my arch. 

Then I draw on the shape of the outer part of my brow, the pointed tip. 

Using a bit more product I fill in the rest of my brow forming another line but this time on the upper part of the brow and not going all the way to the front. 

Finally using what is left on the brush I gently fill in the front part of my brow so it has a natural fade. 

Lastly then using a spoolie (disposable mascara wand) I carefully brush my brows though making sure the colour is even and the hairs are going in the right direction. 

And that is me set for the day!

I have really enjoyed using this new eyebrow product and feel I can really create great looking brows which last very well during the whole day. I have a scar in my right brow which is very visible if not filled in and this product covers it well as you can see from this final picture.

If you don't have much time to get ready in the morning another product by Makeup Revolution I have used and found to be great is the Brow Arch & Shape which costs £3.50 and comes in four different shades like the Aqua Brow.

Hope you enjoyed this blog post and found it useful, if you have any questions post them below!

Christmas Sales Haul...

As you all will know, there are many Christmas Sales going on, so I thought I would share what I have bought.

The first place I wanted to go was Boots, as I saw they had some fun things in their Christmas section and it was all up to half price. 

I really like sweet scented perfumes so naturally I thought - 

"Hell yess, I want to smell like sweets!" 

- and inevitably went for the sweetest perfumes/body sprays they had. 

They came as sets; the Hello Kitty Body Sprays and the Jelly Belly roll on perfumes were around £4-4.50 each after the half price deal. 

I found that the Hello Kitty Body Sprays don't last long but they do smell good and I cannot complain as they were cheap plus you get a pretty decent amount in each bottle.

These Jelly Belly roll on perfumes are much stronger in scent and the fact they are compact means they easily fit in your handbag for perfume touch ups throughout the day. I really like the berry ones (Blueberry, Strawberry Jam & Raspberry) and the Vanilla one. The ones I'm not keen on are Chocolate Pudding and Cappuccino. 

The next shop I 'accidentally' fell in and bought a few items in their 50% off sale was Lush. And who can't resist going in and getting your nostrils filled with every sweet smell imaginable. 

 I bought 2 small shower gels, one called Rose Jam which I'm sure you can imagine smells like the name, super sweet jam. 

The next was Hot Toddy which is very Christmas based and smells like a spiced, mulled sweet wine.

The last product I vaguely remember reading or seeing it somewhere but have forgotten if it was a blog or on YouTube - The Santa Baby lip tint - This is definitely more than a tint, you get pretty full on bright red lips and it smells like a cola bottle sweet.

Here's a swatch on my lips, excuse how messy it is but I did it in pretty bad lighting. Just to show how amazingly pigmented it is. The one minor drawback is that it does stain your finger but I don't mind about that. It is matte and is very long wearing, it only came off a bit on the inside part of my lips whilst eating.

The last shop I bought a few items in was Accessorize. I couldn't resist buying a few pairs of cute socks at 50% off, dropping them down to around £1.75 a pair. I also got a pair of silver studs and some silver hoops. I didn't take pictures as I'm sure you know what they look like. Real silver earrings for around £4 in the sale.

I do hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did roaming around the sales.

What do you think of my findings and have you bought anything in the sales yet?

HD Brows....

Ever wanted THE most perfect eyebrows ever! Well the answer is HD Brows by the talented Aline Kaloudi!

I organised a day of pampering today round my mother's house where we had different friends come round and have their eyebrows done. 

This is an amazing technique where your brows are - Tinted, Threaded, Waxed and Trimmed - only done by professionals who were trained at a HD Brow school. You will end up with custom tinted brows that suit your face and personality. They are like having an eye lift and can take years of your age - I'm addicted!!

Here are the before and afters of the ladies who came today, mine is the last one, I was taking photos and then forgot to take a photo of my own before so have used the photo Aline took -
