Review: Sleek - Eyebrow kit.

Let's talk about eyebrows...

Eyebrows are definitely a 'thing' at the minute and there seems to be so many products out there to fill them in with, so I decided to share my favourite with you.

It is the sleek eyebrow kit, what they say:



'Frame your face, whilst giving the eye area an instant lift with our Brow Kit.

This set includes:

Pigmented wax for shaping
Powder for setting
Mini tweezers
Mini angled brush

Mini blending brush
Mirror'

I personally love this kit.  I use the wax first and then go over and set it with the powder. You can get it in 4 different shades: Light, Dark, Extra Dark and Black. I change my hair quite a lot, so I have two of these colours, the dark and light.

Here is a before of my eyebrows:

Here is an example of the light shade:

And here is an example of the dark shade:

These pictures make it look a little bit like they are the same colour, but they really aren't. I do find the light she to be quite warm in colour, but I don't really mind that.

The kit retails at about £8.50, which isn't a bad price at all, and mine has lasted me about 6/7 months.

Let me know what you think if you try these out.

Dupe: Chanel - Coco Mademoiselle Perfume.

This is going to be a short and sweet post (hopefully) because talking about perfume is pretty difficult because you can't exactly smell it through a screen.

Now Coco Mademoiselle is my all time favourite perfume, in my opinion it smells like heaven, but it is slightly pricey at £67.50 for 30ml and £95.50 for 100ml, I buy it anyway because you have to treat yourself every now and again, and it really is my favourite.

With a price tag like that it isn't really an everyday perfume (in my opinion) I tend to wear it when I'm going out or on a special occasion.

Anyway, onto what I think it a pretty good dupe for this perfume...

I was wandering around New Look a few weeks ago and noticed they had some perfumes near the counter, I had a good sniff of all of them but one really caught my attention and as soon as I smelt it I knew instantly what it reminded me of - Chanel.

The perfume is called 'Pure Blush' and it retails for £7.99.. Yep, £7.99.
I wore it to work one day and my friend even commented, saying 'Are you wearing Chanel for work?' I let her in on my little secret and she is now addicted. Obviously it doesn't last on you quite as long as the Chanel one, but for that price you could carry it in your bag and keep topping up! I feel it smells super similar, just not as 'expensive' smelling, if that makes sense? It really is a beautiful perfume and I do urge anyone who loves the Chanel one to give this a try.

Let me know if any of you do decide to try this!

Review: Benefit - Hello flawless oxygen wow foundation.

My mission at the minute is to find my perfect foundation.

A few weeks ago I picked up The Benefit 'hello flawless oxygen wow!' foundation, and as I've been wearing it for a while now, I thought I'd share my thoughts.

What they say:

"Hello...it's flawless time! Our new oil-free brightening liquid foundation builds from light to medium coverage for a natural complexion you can believe in. It's you...just more luminous & healthy looking. "

I've said before, I have oily skin, and this stating it is 'brightening' and 'luminous' made it sound like it really wouldn't be the foundation for me, but actually, after a few weeks of wearing it, I actually really like it!
They state that it is a light to medium coverage, which I find is true, but it definitely is buildable. I like a full coverage foundation usually, but this one makes my skin look great and I find it hides just enough. I applied it with my real techniques buffing brush, and I think they worked pretty well together.

Heres how it looked on:

I think I noticed it braking down a little after around 6/7 hours wear, which for an oily girl, I found this pretty damn good.

Mine is in the colour 'Ivory' which I think is the lightest shade that is available. There really isn't that many shades to choose from, which I think they should work on!

I believe this retails at round £25.50, which is around average for a high end foundation I would say.
