My Eyebrow Routine



Hello guys! Hope you're well.
Today I'm going to show you my current eyebrow routine and the products I use on them.
I do want to say that I do my eyebrows myself. I use to get them threaded but prefer to pluck them myself
as, I personally prefer the way I do it. Everyone will be different though. I don't go too crazy, I just pluck the
stray hairs so they are more defined. I personally prefer thicker and fuller eyebrows myself. I hope this helps
some of you if you're stuck on any products!









I naturally have dark blonde hair so my eyebrows aren't really dark. My hair is a dyed dark brown right now so,
I need to tint my brows darker so they match. I also prefer to tint them as I don't have to fill them in so much and,
it makes me feel more confident to go out with out make-up as, eyebrows define your face a lot. So, I then don't
feel I need a lot of make-up.

Tweezers
This is all I use to shape my brows myself. I use to have them waxed years ago then stopped as I hated it. I then
got them threaded for a long time but I felt they were doing them too thin for my liking so, I started just tweezing
them myself. I prefer to do this as I save money and I prefer how they look. I wouldn't suggest you do it yourself
unless you know what you're doing as, I made that mistake when I was younger. Just go to a professional so, they
can shape them before you start tweezing away at them and ruining them!

I use them serum every single night to help strengthen my eyebrows. It's for lashes and brows but I prefer to just use
it on my brows. Since using it I've found that my brows are thicker and fuller! My brows have always been thick
but always were a bit patchy from where I ruined them when I was younger by plucking out random bits. If you saw
how my brows use to look and how they look now, you'd be impressed!

This is my main product I use to fill in my brows. It has a pencil one side and a sponge with product on the other
side. I only use the pencil as, I don't feel my brows need much filling in after tinting them. I will literally just
outline my brows then, fill in any gaps with small and light brush strokes for a natural look.

I love using this to brush my brows out if I feel they look too harsh. This will help make them look more
natural but groomed.

To keep my brows in place all day, I'll use a tinted mascara. I don't use a dark brown one like I do with the pencil
as I feel it can make my brows look too dark by putting loads of dark products on top. I want them to look as natural
as possible so I don't like them to be too defined or too dark.

May Favourites




Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.
We're into into June now so, that means monthly favourites! I've kind of been excited for this months
favourites as I've been really loving some new products I've tried and I'm very keen to show tell you
about them.




I knew beer is good for your hair because of the malt and hops in it. They are full of protein which strengthens
the hair and also leaves hair shining. I have never seen beer shampoo before until, I was in Superdrug recently
just picking up a few bits. It was only £1.99 so just thought, 'why not?'. I've used it a few times and it does exactly
what it says. I use it once a week and it just lifts your hair and gives it body and shine and, who doesn't want that
 I'm definitely going to stock up on this stuff!

I always wanted to try setting sprays but wasn't sure which one would work for me. I saw that Urban Decay do travel
sizes of some of their products. I bought the 'All Nighter' spray as, it was the most popular one out of all of them.
Since buying it, I use it every single day. I can't go a day with out it! I love how my make-up looks after using it
and it doesn't budge!

I was always a bit intimidated by individual lashes as I thought only professionals could apply them. I couldn't
have been more wrong! I picked them up on a 3 for 2 offer and they are so incredible easy to apply. I would say
possibly more easy than normal lashes. I feel that you can add fullness or length wherever you want to and, where
they are individual they look more natural. The only love/hate issue with them is that they stay put so, when it
comes to removing them they are a little stubborn but just be patient and use to lash remover.

I prefer stick/cream deodorant's personally as, I feel they work best on me. I was still searching for the perfect
one for a while, until I found this. It smells really lovely and it just does the job. It is a bit pricey but that's why
I stock up when it's on offer!

I use this before I fake tan and it is literally incredible! Not only does it help get rid of dead skin, It helps get rid
of the bumps on the back of your arms and legs. My skin has never felt softer than when I use this. I've already ran
out of it and I've not even had it long. That's how much I love it.

September Favourites


Hello everyone :)
It's time for another favourites today and I'm so excited that it's now Winter!
I can't wait to get out all my jumpers and coats!
I've actually already bought 2 coats already (whoops!)
One of them is actually one of my favourites this month!
Hope you Enjoy!



I really wanted to try out the Macadamia Oil brand as I've heard so many good things about them, but didn't
want to commit to the big bottles as they can be quite expensive. I thought getting this little travel kit
would be best to try out a bunch of their products. I've used up the shampoo and conditioner already
and am definitely buying the full size bottles! It leaves your hair feeling truly nourished and in great
condition My favourite is the hair oil. It smells incredible! It doesn't make it greasy at all and lasts ages.
My other favourite is the hair mask. It recommends you only use it once a week as it's quite intense.
They are very pricey but I found them on Amazon for much cheaper! So definitely have a look on there!

I love my Urban Decay Naked Palette's but if you are on a budget I definitely recommend the palette's from
Makeup Revolution. They range from about £4-£8 and the colours are amazing. There's so many different
palette's and colours to choose from as well. The pigmintation in these palette's are great. For £4, I honestly
didn't expect much from it. But was happily surprised to find out how good these palette's really are.

Seeing as my hair colour is now dark, I wanted to tint my eyebrows darker also. For the days I want to just not
wear make-up my eyebrows look a bit better when they are a darker. this kit is perfect for doing just that. I did
my research before hand and found that this was the best selling at home kit. It was around £7.50 and says
it lasts up to 6 weeks each time you do it and I still have loads of product left so definitely a great investment!
Really easy to do as well!

I really am loving this cleansing lotion. I usually put it on a cotton pad and swipe it all over my face just after
I've cleansed morning and night. I don;t have terrible acne but I do get spots and more so when I'm stressed.
I feel like this has helped calm my skin and stop so many spots popping up when I'm stressed.

I'm really impressed with this little make-up brush. Only £3 from Wilko! It's a great little brush to use for
smudging out my shadow. They have a whole range of brushed and after using this I definitely would like to
try out more from the range. If you can't afford MAC brushes then they have a great little collection of brushes
and you can't really go wrong with these sorts of prices!

I am sooo in love with my new jacket. I've wanted one of these styles of jackets for so long but could never
find one at an affordable price. This one I got from Missguided for £42ish. It's originally £50 but I got a 15%
discount. They always have discounts and promotions going on which is always really helpful! It's so cosy
and warm and goes with almost anything. The only annoying thing is that the fleece bit inside does leaves
lots of bits on anything you wear so I  try not to wear black underneath. It'll go after a few uses of wearing it though!
