Brows Brows Brows...

For anyone that doesn't know I LOVE bold eyebrows but I find i'm too heavy handed too use a pencil product. I end up looking like I have slugs on my face or a 'scousebrow'. 


After seeing many Youtube gurus fill in there brows with eyeshadow, so I gave it a try.

At first I was using a shoddy brush from Superdrug that i've owned for years! It was awful, so I decided I needed a new eyebrow brush. 
This one isn't particularly an eyebrow brush but it certainly works! I picked this Barry M one up from Superdrug for only £2.99! 

The bristles apply shadow really well and helps pack the product into the brows and I think this brush will also work amazingly for gel eyeliner and even using eyeshadow as a liner (which I can confirm works really well!) The bristles are very dense and there are alot of them!


I would highly recommend this as a tool to have, plus I love the bright teal colour can't go wrong for £2.99!

A waterproof mascara for £1.99?!!

I am officially now on the hunt for a good waterproof mascara for my holidays in 4weeks time! Eeeek!

Please excuse the bags under my eyes it was extremely early and I had a late night! This is with just one coat of the mascara.

Two coats



This mascara is a great natural looking mascara although I would like it too be a bit more dramatic and volumised. Although for the beach this really defines and lengthens my lashes without being clumpy or spidery looking. The formula isn't dry or too wet it's just right and not thick like clumpy mascaras can have. Surprisingly at how basic the wand is I do really like it, it coats each and every lash however it doesn't really lengthen as much as other mascaras do. For me this isn't really a problem as I have naturally long lashes but for someone with short lashes BE WARY!

I do recommend this as a waterproof mascara if like me you only buy cheap drugstore for a 2week holiday every year then it gets thrown in the bin. This is brilliant for that and is very waterproof for its price! But if you wear waterproof mascaras on a daily basis then this maybe isn't for you.

The NYC Show time volumizing waterproof mascara is avaliable here. Or in Superdrug for £1.99.

Pink Dip dyed hair! Step by step!


For almost a year now I have wanted too dip dye my hair and last night me and my friend did! We went too a specialist shop too buy the hair colour then we bought cheap tinting brushes and foils from poundworld! I cannot believe how easy this is too do!

Foil, tinting bowl and brushes(came with 3in a set) both from Poundworld.
Directions Hair colour £3.99 from a specialist shop but also avaliable from Ebay.

I chose the colour Carnation Pink for super bright pink colour. For brighter colour on darker hair its advised that you bleach your hair first with a bleaching kit, I didnt have too carry out this step as I have blonde hair anyway and still managed too get a bright colour!

Step by Step...

1. Place your colour in the tint bowl that you have and prepare your foils you will need around 1-2inch thick strips.

2. Apply your colour too damp hair with your tint brush evenly too the ends of your hair covering every strand. You need too apply your colour too around 1-2inch thick sections this makes sure your colour is neater.

3. Now wrap your foil around the coloured part of your hair on the ends.

4. After leaving the colour for the recommended 15mins, personally I left mine on for 30mins even with blonde hair. Rinse with cold water and conditioner if necessary, DO NOT SHAMPOO this will wash all of your colour out!

5. Blow dry and style as usual and there is your dip dyed hair!


I'm so happy at how mine turned out! 
Will you be trying this trend?

Review: Rimmel Wake me up Foundation

After seeing all the hype about this foundation I thought it was about time I tried it out! I've actually been using this foundation since it had came out, well a week or two after. So, I thought it was about time a review was in order...

Firstly I love the packaging! Simple and sleek in the glass bottle yett fun with the bright orange lid and my favourite a pump! I hate those foundations that you have too whack out of the jar. Packaging: 9/10

What it claims too do...
Visibly reawakens and illuminates skin with a radiant glow and a flawless natural looking finish. Instant anti-fatigue effect. With peptides and a vitamin Moisturising complex.

What it does...
This foundation feels thick and moisturising when being appllied too the skin but feels lightweight when set giving a dewy finish. Therefore me with oily skin started too panic! When I wear this foundation i have too powder twice a day and still end up looking 'dewy' which isn't a bad thing but its not brilliant either.

 I find this foundation amazing on dry patches and I think it would be amazing on dry skin but for me I find it sliding off my face within about 5hours. I really do love the amount of coverage this foundation gives me and will definatley be saving it for the winter months when my skin is dry!

Overall I'd give this a 6.5/10 but would definatley recommend it too people with dry skin! You can purchase it from Boots and Superdrug for £8.99 here.

Thanks for reading,
