Review | Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint & Precision Shaping Pencil

How cute is my cat Chips paw in the background?!

I naturally have very light blonde eye brows. So without any kind of product they're near impossible to see. I never used to bother with my brows as I was always scared of filling them in with a darker blonde colour and looking stupid. Probably just because I'd never done it before and I knew that if I was to fill them in they would look a lot more defined and something I wouldn't at all be used to.

I always used to envy people with darker brows because by defining their brows and just filling them in it wouldn't be as much of a huge difference in the way they looked. Whereas for me it would be quite a big noticeable difference as its something I really wouldn't be used to.

About a year ago I bit the bullet and decided to hunt around for something that would match my eye brows. I knew that the colour would be a huge difference but I wanted to step out of that comfort zone and make them darker so you could actually see them. Probably the best decision I made beauty wise as by doing something so simple to my brows, it has given me more of a facial feature and more shape around my eyes. Also a lot more confidence in my facial appearance and the way that I feel.

Finding a colour for very light blonde eye brows is definitely one hell of a task. It's not easy at all to find something that matches as its either way too light and doesn't make much of a difference or way too dark and looks completely odd.

After looking around and trying a couple of different products and different ways of application I found Sleeks brow kit in the shade light that came in a little palette.

The palette contained two products. One being a darker wax to shape and define your brows and the other was a lighter mousey brown powder to fill them in and make them look a little less harsh. The colours within this palette matched my brows perfectly and I was very pleased with how it was and how it was to apply, both wax and powder products.

At first it was a big difference to get used to as like I previously said I never bothered with my brows and was used to looking like I didn't have any. As much as I love this product and the results it gave me, especially for it being the first product to use on my brows it really was amazing and I'm so glad I found his product because for anyone who is experimenting with their brows for the first time (especially brows which are a lot lighter and harder to see) it's been perfect.  However, now I feel a little more confident and know how I want my brows to be and feel comfortable making them more defined and darker every morning I wanted to look for something a little different. Maybe something a little more expensive, something easier for me to apply every morning and something that looked a little more natural. Genuinely ready to just branch out and look for something different that may give me an even better natural, defined looking result.

I've seen this product that I am just about to rave about many times. Either in blog reviews or youtube videos. I remember first seeing it and thinking "oh wow I don't think that would be something that I would personally get on with". And to be perfectly honest with you I completely forgot about it and didn't really consider it. The product looked scary to use, especially to someone who is very cautious of their brows and what products to use. However, I could not have been more wrong and it ha very much taught me to not judge a book by its cover.

Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint & Precision Shaping Pencil is INCREDIBLE!

The product has two ends. One end is a pencil (the less scary end) the other end is a felt tip (the scary end). The felt tip end is used to define, shape and as it clearly states in the name "tint" your brows. I was sceptical as I thought it would leave your brows feeling wet and heavy. But, it really doesn't. So incredibly easy to apply, very light weight, dries super quickly and genuinely leaves your brows feeling and looking very natural. My brows have absolutely no shape to them at all. I've never had anything done to them professionally. I've always just plucked away a few strays, not knowing what I'm doing and just hoping for the best. However, with this product it really doesn't matter. You can achieve any brow shape your heart desires. The pencil end, again is so incredible to use. Perfect for filling in any sparse areas that the felt tip may not have been able to get too.

I have the shade "Love is blonde" Perfect match to my hair colour. The perfect shade that I have been searching for. So easy to wear, giving my face a lot more of a defined overall appearance.

It really is amazing how incredible it is to just slightly change one facial feature to create so much more shape to your face. Especially around your eyes.

I feel bad for judging this product without even actually looking at it.

This product will be a HUGE suggestion of mine to anyone and everyone. Especially for those with naturally light (hard to see) brows. This has definitely become a massive favourite of mine, don't actually think I'll ever be able to live without this product now I have discovered it.
Above is the before and after shot. As you can see in the picture on the left my natural brows are very light. They don't stand out and they give my face/eyes absolutely no structure at all. The image on the right is after using Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint & Precision Shaping pencil giving my face so much more structure and warmth to it.
Perfect colour to match my hair. Looks and feels really natural.
I have said it many times during this post and I will say it again, This product is incredible. Absolutely love it and so glad I purchased it.
It retails at £10 (which is an amazing price for an amazing product that actually works and does what it says it will do) and is available either on the Soap & Glory website or in our much loved drugstore Boots (Where I believe selected Soap & Glory lines are currently 3for2)


Hope this helped any of you who are interested in this product.
If you could subscribe to this blog and any of my other social media sites I will love you forever.
Thank you again & I hope you're all well xo

M.A.C Cosmetics Beauty Haul

Yogurt & Sweet Lust Eyeshadows & Vanilla Pigment 

For my birthday I was given a M.A.C Cosmetics gift voucher and was told to treat myself to some nice new beauty products I've always wanted to try out.

And well, this was the result. After spending (probably) hours and hours on their website and reading up reviews I finally managed to figure out what I wanted and placed my order. I'm really happy with what I purchased and am so thankful for the gift voucher I received for me to be able to get these beautiful products. I seriously can not wait to try these out.

Here's what I got:

♡ Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in the shade NC15 - £21.50

♡ Sized to go Pigment in the shade Vanilla - £10

♡ Cremesheen Lipstick in the shade Creme Cup - £15.50

♡ Frost Lipstick in the shade Costa Chic - £15.50

♡ Satin Lipstick in the shade Snob - £15.50

♡ Amplified Creme Lipstick in the shade Chatterbox - £15.50

♡ Pro Palette Eyeshadow x 2 Compact - £4

♡ Eyeshadow / Pro Palette Refill Pan in the shade Yogurt - £10

♡ Eyeshadow / Pro Palette Refill Pan in the shade Sweet Lust - £10

Here's a few reasons why I love M.A.C: 

♡ The packaging is beautiful. I'm a massive sucker for packaging, especially beauty product packaging. I love the simplicity of it and how it looks so sophisticated.

♡ Eyeshadows are really pigmented and beautiful to work with. I also love the fact you can get refill pans and create your own pallet to your own colour preference. As I always find that with an already made pallet there is at least one or two shades I know I won't use and always seems a shame to waste it.

♡ Lipsticks are beautiful. I love the formula that is used. I love the different types of lipsticks you can get, from a cremesheen to a matte so there's something for everyone with any look & every occasion.

♡ As a whole their colour ranges are fantastic. They have a colour for everyone & their cat. From everything neutral to anything neon.

♡ I class M.A.C as a high end store although I know theirs a heck of a lot more expensive brands out there which are more on the higher end spectrum I still personally see M.A.C as a high end store. Some of its pricey, some of its reasonable. Either way I feel that the prices you pay are fair for the products you end up with.

Safe to say I'm very excited to now give these beautiful products ago. 
Expectations are running high and I'm sure I will not be disappointed! 

Leave a comment down below what your favourite M.A.C products are & also any suggestions/recommendations on what I should try out next.

Hope you all had a lovely Bank Holiday.

Zoeva Rose Golden 8 Piece Make-Up Brush Set |

Zoeva Rose Golden Make-up brush set 

I have had my eyes on these beauties for quite some time now. I am aware that they're no longer new and have been completely raved about by every blogger imaginable, who either have them or want them but, I thought I would do this little post on my first impressions and see for myself if I can relate to the many posts I have previously seen. 

I have read many reviews on these and pretty much checked them on their website at least a couple times a week umming and ahhing on whether or not I should purchase them. They look incredible, they had many, many positive, wonderful reviews. However, I do become quite hesitant on products that are hugely hyped up. Not just on how well they work and what results you can get but also on their appearance. As lets face it, even if they're terrible, there is no denying how beautiful they look! I worry I'll be disappointed after lusting for so long. (anyone else get like that?) However, I was lucky enough to receive this beautiful 8 piece brush set for my birthday from my lovely parents and I 110% can say that there was NO disappointment involved, What. So. Ever.  

Here, are my reasons at to why I LOVE these brushes and their packaging. 

♡ The leather look clutch is beautiful with a rose gold zip & "Zoeva" written on the key ring and on the front. Made for perfect storage if you prefer your brushes to be stored away neatly & protected.

♡ Clutch also has an inside pocket for you to store any extra necessities.

♡ Perfect for traveling.

♡ Each brush has written on it what they are to be used for. Which is perfect if you're new to make-up & brushes as it gives you a clear guideline on how to apply certain products with each brush. 

♡ They're rose gold. HUGE winner for me. LOVE rose gold & it makes them look beautiful, different and very sophisticated. 

♡ Matte Black handles. Also a HUGE fan of Matte black. 

♡ They are made with both natural hairs & synthetic taklon bristles which means they can be used perfectly with both cream & powder based products. 

♡ They are a dream to work with. Blending has never before been such a pleasure. 

♡ You get 8 brushes within the set. From bigger face brushes to smaller eye brushes making it a perfect set to create looks from an every day make-up look to a much more dramatic one. 

♡ Super soft & no runaway hairs. 

♡ Fantastic value for money.

♡ They are beautiful to look at, be it in their clutch or out on display 

What do you think of Zoeva brushes? 

I think its clear to say that I absolutely love these brushes and pretty much everything about them. 

They have made doing my make-up at 7am every morning no longer a chore and in fact a pleasure.

Drugstore Beauty Haul

 I went on a tiny beauty product spree the other day. It was my Birthday and my Parents and I went to Bluewater shopping centre for the day. We had a delicious lunch at an old school American Diner called "Ed's Diner" where we certainly indulged in some lovely burgers, milkshakes and refreshing drinks to enjoy on a lovely warm Springs day. 

Even though I knew we were going shopping I wasn't entirely sure on what I was looking for, however, I stumbled across a rather roomy Boots store and found myself beelining for the Beauty department. There were a few things out that I knew I wanted to get my hands on and amazingly I managed to find them all. I read a lot of reviews on new (and old) beauty products and most of the time I know what I want to get I just sometimes worry that my expectations may be a little high, and end up hesitating however, on this occasion my expectations were right on point and I couldn't leave without these products. 

I haven't yet tried any of these products out, apart from the "Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer" which I believe this is my 3rd purchase of this product. Everything else that I managed to get my hands on are completely new purchases for me and I can't wait to try them out.

I always get really excited trying new products out as its not something I do regularly. When it comes to make-up I'm pretty plain and simple, I know what works for me and what I like so I tend to stick to what I know. However, I am slowly trying to get myself out of this little beauty rut that I am in and I'm trying to be more adventurous with what I smother on my face. 

The two products I am most looking forward to trying out are 'Soap & Glory's Solar Powder" as I believe this will give such a natural looking glow to the face and it will be perfect for Spring/Summer time and thats a look I am forever trying to perfect. The shades are incredible and I was really drawn to them. And also, "Benefit's Roller Lash" I mean, who doesn't love to have natural looking curly, lifted eyelashes with a tone of volume? Mascara is one of the beauty products that would be on my list of "What I wouldn't be able to live without" as my lashes are extremely blonde and without mascara I feel like I look like some kind of alien. So when a mascara claims to do so much I get rather excited about it and really can't wait to see what its like. I have a lot of expectations on this one. I must also take a little moment to mention how beautiful the packaging is. I absolutely love it, it's so pretty. *heart eye emoji* 

Here are the Links for everything featured within this post.

♡ Soap & Glory Solar Powder 

♡ Soap & Glory Archery

♡ Soap & Glory Smoulder Kohl 

♡ Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer 

♡ Benefit Roller Lash

Rimmel London Kate Moss | Limited Edition Comic Relief Lipstick

 Kate Moss Collection by Rimmel has been a collection I have loved since the moment it came out. I own various shades of its lipsticks along with the mascara. To be honest its a collection that I have very much wanted to collect and I have never once been disappointed with any of the products within the collection. Fantastic qualities within them and of course very inexpensive. 

Rimmel is without a doubt my favourite lower end/drugstore brand. And a lot of my favourite beauty items in general and as a whole are from Rimmel.

This item caught my eye even more than the others. Which to be honest, I didn't think was possible. Whenever I am in Boots/Superdrug I always make a beeline for Rimmel and their Kate Moss range. 

What attracted me to this product was the red polkadot detailing around the lid. It was on a little display of its own and turned out to be a Limited Edition product promoting Comic Relief.

A beautiful, elegant shade of red called "Red Nose Red" 

Packaging is super cute with its red polka dots around the lid making it stand out just that little bit more than the others. Also a massive fan of its name by really sticking to the theme of Comic Relief.

As it says on their website...

"Smooth creamy texture for comfortable wear all day long" 

...A statement that I could not fault and very much agree with.

Moisturising, light and incredible staying power.

This Lipstick retails at £5.49 and a donation of £1.67 goes to Comic Relief per lipstick.

This is for an incredible cause which could save and help so many peoples lifes.

So, if you're looking for a new red lipstick why not head to your local drugstore or go online and pick one of these up? And well, even if your not, Whats the harm in adding another amazing red lipstick to your collection with a strong meaning behind it and knowing you made a contribution towards a cause that will make (and has made for so many years), a huge difference to some peoples lifes.

Ted Baker London | The Kiss Of Ted

I received this beautiful Ted Baker set for Christmas.

I'm a huge Ted Baker fan, especially a fan of their beautiful make-up bags, shoppers and IPad cases with the big beautiful bows. And of course their skin care products are a right winner for me.

Admittedly I have never owned a piece of their clothing and equally never tried any of their beauty products out. Mainly because I didn't realised they did any until Christmas came along and the majority of their gift sets were beauty related. I know a lot of people would be quite optimistic about using beauty products from a brand that doesn't specialise in creating beauty products but I feel that Ted Baker are a huge company and put a lot of time into their products and I've always found that the quality of their stuff is top of the range. So, I feel that Ted Baker wouldn't invest or put their name on a product that they thought wasn't up to a high standard or something they didn't believe in. 

I remember when I stumbled across their Christmas collection in Boots and was absolutely amazed. 

Beautiful packaging, stunning colour shades within the whole of their beauty products. Extremely sophisticated look throughout their collection which to be honest, is what I fell in love with. So, I did treat myself to a couple of things along with receiving a couple of gems as presents. 

I've never been so attracted to anything beauty related more than I have with this gorgeous lip set. 

The elegance of the women behind the frame is breathtaking. The fact it looks like a book is very cleaver, the beautiful rose gold within the whole set is beautiful, especially if you're a bit of a rose gold fan like myself. The vintage feel that it has with the old school building print inside incorporating a modern style to it with its use of pastel colours throughout is lovely. 

The visuals of the products all round, for me, is just fantastic and a very unique product. Certainly something I haven't seen or owned myself. 

Set includes: Lip crayon, Lipstick, Lip Liner, Mirror & Lip Balm

The Lipstick and Lip Liner shade are very similar to each other, the Lipstick is a slightly darker red than the Lip liner (not a huge difference, just slightly) As a two they can be perfectly paired together and create a gorgeous red lip. They create a beautiful shade of red which is very elegant, graceful and of course, pretty.

You don't have to use them together, I find that even lip liners are really nice to use from time to time on their own by simply lining your lips and filling it all in with the same product.

Both products are super easy to apply and you can feel the moisture it puts into your lips from the minute it is applied. For me they weren't drying at all, and i'm someone who would noticed if they were straight away as I do myself get very dry lips

The Lip Crayon is probably my favourite piece of them all. A dark plum colour which is a perfect colour for autumn/winter. Colours like this sometimes scare me, as I've said in previous posts, I fear that I will look like a 5 year old who has rummaged throughout her mothers makeup and created a clown like mess. However, with this crayon, it has a quality in which you can build it up if you want to, yes, its dark and something you can't exactly dull down, but you can get away with applying a thinner layer and by using your finger (or brush) to rub it into your lips to create a slightly less dramatic vibe.

And of course you can go all out and just apply it how you would normally to really appreciate that bold plum colour. I guess it all depends on how brave you are and what sort of mood you're in.

Again, the Lip crayon is very easy to apply and very moisturising just like the lipstick and lipliner. 

I've found that I get the same results throughout the lip products when it comes to application, moisture and staying power which is always a massive bonus when those 3 qualities are ticked of the list. 

Lip Balm, again, I can't fault it. moisturising, smells to me like coconut which feels really refreshing and light. It also comes in a cute little tin with the building print on the lid.
Quite a small tin but its the perfect size for you to chuck into your handbag and use when you're on the go.

Mirror is also a perfect size to be kept in your make-up bag or even in a handbag, again with the beautiful print of the women who's on the cover of the outer packaging of the entire set. 

As a whole this product is absolutely wonderful. I couldn't be happier with the quality as I had a lot of high hopes on this set. Purely because of how much the elegance of the packaging caught my eye.

Another wonderful creation from Ted Baker and I will very much look forward to seeing what else they plan to come up with on the beauty front. 

I do believe this product is now discontinued as it was released for Christmas however I would definitely keep my eye out for any more new and up coming products like this and they're well worth the money. 

Absolutely beautiful to look at and a complete dream to work with. 

Were any of you lucky enough to get your hands on this or anything else from the collection?

If so what did you think?

I'd love to hear your opinions so please leave a comment below.

The Perfect Cut-Out Boots

I've been looking for a pair of really nice cut-out boots for a while now and nothing seemed to fit exactly what I was looking for. I wanted them to be subtle, to go with everything and of course to be comfortable. I found a lot of the ones I stumbled across had too many cut outs meaning they'd go all the way down just before the tips of your toes. What I was looking for were some subtle cut outs around the ankles so I could put the gazillion pairs of Topshop frilly socks I have to use by showing them off and looking all cute. 

I'm a girl who is extremely guilty of constantly wearing the same ol' plimsolls day in, day out. 

There comfortable, easy to walk in and go with any outfit. They're practical. 

However, even I am getting so bored of not widening my shoe collection. To be honest I have about 5 pairs of shoes in total because I'm not a huge shoe lover. But, when I do find a pair of shoes that I fall in love with and find myself imagining them with several different outfits I kinda obsess over them and have to purchase them. 

And these Cut out boots from Boohoo definitely grabbed my heart. 

These beautiful black cut-out boots are Suedette (either made from cotton or rayon but has a suede texture to them) with two beautiful classy golden buckles on the side. Between both buckles they're cut out and the same applies on the other side meaning you can see straight through. Extremely practical gold zip on the back which makes it so easy to put them on without fiddling around adjusting the buckles to fit you properly around the ankles. They have a very chunky heel which to be honest was a higher heel then I expected but because they're so chunky they're incredibly easy to walk in and oh my gosh they're the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever owned. I feel like these really are gonna help me come of of my comfort zone and add a bit more to my outfits. 

I always get really scared by heels. Will the suit me? Can I walk in them? Will I look like a 5 year old whose rummaged around her mothers wardrobe?

These boots are both formal and casual.

Pair them up with a cute pair of frilly socks from Topshop with some nice tights and an oversized knitted jumper in the colder seasons and bare legs with a flattering skater dress in the warmer seasons and you're pretty much good to go. 

These tick every box for me. And I'm so happy to have them in my life.

Really inexpensive at just £35. A complete bargain for a fantastically made pair of shoes. 

I really can see these being a massive staple in my wardrobe and I for sure will be wearing them at every opportunity get.
