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!

Eylure Dybrow in Brown

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!

Mavala Double Lash

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!

Maybelline Brow Satin Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown

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.

Tweezerman for Benefit Brow Brush

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.

Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara in Medium Brown

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.

March Favourites

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well. 

Today I'm doing my March favourites. I feel a bit behind as I way too busy to do a post on Sunday. I will

be doing an extra post this week to make up for it though! I tried out so many new things recently and still

have so much more I want to share with you but I wanted to keep it simple this month, otherwise it might

be a bit overwhelming with all the products I love! 

Enjoy!

Fudge Urban Iced Raspberry Vanilla Hairspray

I picked this up on a whim as it was 1/3 off. I hadn't heard much about it but I always wanted to try it,

especially because it said 'raspberry vanilla'! I really enjoy using it. My old one was very strong hold but made

my hair a bit sticky and knotted easily. This one holds my hair for quite a while but doesn't make my hair sticky

and is easily brushes out. It smells like iced gems to me personally. I'm not sure what everyone else thinks, but I

love that it smells like that. I

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

If you read my blog, you know this is my all time favourite concealer. I stopped using it because I ran out than

couldn't find it in stock for so long. When I finally got my hands on it I picked up 2 because I can never find

them! 

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Lightweight Primer

I was going through my drawers and chucking out old make-up and came across this primer. I bought it ages

ago to review then never really used it much. I didn't think I needed a primer but turns out I do! It keeps my

make-up in place all day long and gives me a more flawless coverage! I got compliments that my skin looks

better after using this under my foundation.

Mavala Eye Lite Double Lash Night Treatment

I wanted to try out a night treatment for my lashes and eyebrows. This one says it's for your lashes, but it does

say you can use it for both. Funny thing is it only has made a difference to my eyebrows. I don't mind too much

as my brows don't look so sparse now, so I'm very happy about that! I put it on every night. I've been using it

about 2/3 weeks now and have definitely seen a difference in my eyebrows. I feel much more confident with

them now.

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

If you are a regular reader then you also know this is my favourite spot treatment. It's the best one I've every

used. I actually just repurchased another one because I'm so obsessed with it!

The Body Book by Cameron Diaz

I'm trying to make myself more educated about my body, and what food I'm putting into my body and how to take

care of myself better. I really enjoy reading books like this, especially as I love Cameron Diaz. I just feel like I'm

learning new things everyday about how to better healthier and happier with my body and it's a great feeling. If

you want to lose weight or just becoming healthier in general then, this book is really insightful and a great read!

My Night Time Routine

Hello everyone! A few posts ago I did my morning routine - today I'm going to be doing my night

time routine. I use quite a lot more products in the evening than I do in the daytime as  I like to keep my

skincare simple when I'm wearing make-up on top and products sinks into the skin better as you sleep.

Enjoy!

A lovely au naturel picture of me before bed..

Garnier Pure Active Micellar Water

Firstly, I remove all my make-up with this micellar water. I used to use the original one from Garnier but, this

one is fairly new and is designed for combination/skin. I prefer to use this one as it cleanses my skin and helps

with my combination skin at the same time.

Tea Tree Facial Wash

Then I'll go in and wash my face with this tea tree wash from The Body Shop. It get rid of any bits of make-up I

missed and also helps with any blemishes I have. It feels really refreshing on the skin and my face feels so clean

after using this!

Tea Tree Facial Toner

After washing my face I'll go in with my tea tree toner. It helps to clear up blemishes without drying out my skin.

Tea Tree Night Lotion

Every other night I will use this tea tree night lotion. It helps fade any marks blemishes have left and also helps

clear up my skin. I saw results after the first night of using it!

Alpha-H Liquid Gold

On the night I don't use my teat tree night lotion, I will use my absolutely favourite product! It's very strong so I

can only use it every other night. I wont tone if I'm going to use this and I feel it might be too much to do both.

This product helps to resurface the skin and also helps get rid of wrinkles, pigmintation and sun damage. It's also a

really effect acne treatment. I highly recommend it!

Check on my review on Liquid Gold here!

Origins High Potency Night a Mins Mineral Enriched Renewal Cream

Sometimes I switch up my routine and instead of helping to fight against blemishes, I like to use moisturising

products to help plump my skin and give it glow. I use this when I feel my skin is looking really dull. I wake up

the next day with radiant and plump skin!

Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

I really love using this rosehip oil! It' the best all rounder. It helps reduce redness, fade marks, hydrate my skin

and you can use it all over as well!

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

BEST SPOT TREATMENT EVER. - That is all.

Mavala Eye Lite Double Lash Night Treatment

This is a fairly recent purchase. I've been using it about a week now for my brows and lashes. Over time my lashes

have become small and weak and I also wanted bushier brows. I feel I would be more confident with out make-up

if I had better skin and better brows. They aren't too bad but they are a bit sparse and thin towards both ends. So

far I have't seen a dramatic difference yet but, I hear it takes a few weeks to see a difference. Will keep you updated!

Tea Tree Squeaky Clean Scrub (not pictured)

Sorry I forgot to add this in! I use it about once or twice and week, to get rid of any dead skin cells and brighten to

skin with out over drying. It goes perfectly with my other tea tree products.

Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion

Usually, I shower before bed and I can't shower with out moisturising after. I have quite dry skin if I don't moisturise.

This is the only one that saves it and keep it moisturised for at least a few days. It sinks into the skin so nicely and

isn't sticky and actually smells very nice (like oats!).

Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion Fair to Medium Skin

I like to apply this gradual tanner every other night to give my skin a bit of colour and glow. I'm pretty pasty in

the colder months unfortunately. This just gives me enough colour to look like I'm actually alive!
