I seem to always start my blogs the same way…. “Sorry it’s been a while” but genuinely…. With each new project I set myself it tightens my time for everything else! So, sorry it has been a while but I’m finally getting a few days to catch up with all my social media.
It’s been a few YouTube videos since I blogged about them, so I thought I’d do a quick catch up and feature a few key products.
The brow video I filmed just after my trip to America, and considering the damage I did to the Anastasia Beverly Hills counter I couldn’t not. Some of the key products I used were the ABH pomade, brow wiz and duo powder. The pomades are a cream based product to give a stronger shaped brow, waterproof and extremely pigmented its a favourite in my book. Next up is the Brow wiz. So many cosmetics companies do brow pencils but I find ABH’s are more durable and a thinner pencil to create a sharper shape. As for the powders they’re great, but again there are sooooooo many other equivalents out there, there isn’t much to distinguish it. What I do like is the duo colours it comes with so that you can give your brow more shape rather than one flat colour which gives the really flat drawn on appearance. ABH is always difficult to buy in the UK, so here are some of the companies I rate purchasing from;
My next video was a case of all the make up all the time! There’s nothing better than a sharp cat eye! And I’m afraid there’s no amazing wonder tool apart from… Sellotape! If you watch the video you’ll see I use a little amount, stick it to the back of my hand (this is vital unless you wanna pull half your face off with the sellotape when you’re finished). This time I had some new eyeshadows to play with! I recently purchased some new Make up Geek shadows and in this video I used the peach smoothie and cocoa bear. I also used the new Bobbi Brown long wear cream sticks. I used Goldstone as a base and MAC’s new “let’s boogie” shadow. I also discovered a new site which makes it easier to get my hands on Red Cherry lashes which I shall link below too.
My last little exciting find from this video is that New Look have released their own brand of cosmetics! I’ve only bought a few lipsticks but so far I’ve loved every time and it has been gold dust for the price! My particular reach for lipstick at the moment is New Looks Vitamin E lipsticks in Apricot.
And last but not least I thought I’d go a bit crazy… Colour is never usually my thing but the Colour Chaos palette from Make up Revolution brings it out of me. Pair that with the “Designer purple” eyeliner from MAC and you got yourself a colour pop smokey eye! Most Superdrug stores stock Make up Revolution however their website has waaaaaaaaaads more available so gander at your own peril! If you do make sure to sign up to their email list… They always have such good discount and freebies!
