Review || Benefit Goof Proof Pencil & Ready, Set, Brow! First Impressions

Hi Everyone! 

Who hasn't been excited about the launch of Benefit's new brow products range? Come out right now and I'll change your mind with this review.

I've always been a big fan of Benefit's packaging, I mean look at the boxes! They're so beautiful and make me want to keep my products in them for display haha!

Yet again, I'm very impressed with the actual packaging of the products. It is very classy, yet funky - just like all of Benefit's products.

Goof Proof Brow Pencil - I'm really impressed with this product, however I do wish that the magazine included more shades of this product (think I picked it up with Elle). I think I'd have to settle for either the lightest shade or the one shade darker. This one is actually the darkest shade and I think it would look perfect on someone with dark brown/black hair, but as I had recently tinted my eyebrows a dark shade, this one was a perfect match.

Ready, Set, Brow! - OMG, I can't stress enough about this product. It is a m a z i n g !!! It's a clear brow gel and you only need the smallest amount to set your brows. When I used it for the first time I definitely over used it as my eyebrows felt sooo stiff it was so hard to get the product out at the end of the day! Therefore, I do suggest that you use this sparingly and after you've filled in your brows.

Have you tried Benefit's new brow range? If so, what products did you manage to get your hands on?

Lots of love,

First Impression of MAC's Paint Pots

Hi everyone!

Hope you're all doing well and are having a lovely February - and not moping over V-day! I have received some MAC gift cards for my birthday last month and is not had the chance to go in store and use them until recently. I wanted to buy a lipstick but I've recently bought Ariana Grande's collection so thought I'd take a little break and go for something different. The next thing on my list was a concealer but the store was quite busy so thought instead of asking a staff member for help and waiting around for a while I'd just pick out something else - so I headed towards the paint pots. 

I chose two shades, 'Bare Study' and 'Perky'.

Of course I had to light a Yankee Candle - not only does it make my room smell amazing, but it also makes me feel cosy and wintery!

As you can see in the picture above, both paint pots are shimmery and light shades, therefore they can be used as an eyeshadow base or worn on their own to freshen up your eyelids.

 

L-R swatches of Perky and Bare Study. Both shades are very pigmented and I'm really annoyed with myself for not trying any of the paint pots before! I already want to grow my collection as I've been using these every day since the purchase over a week ago.

Have you tried any of their paint pots? If so, which ones do you like best? Any recommendations? 

Lots of love,

Mallzee - First Impression

Hey guys!

So recently, I found out about this amazing new app called Mallzee. It is literally like tinder for fashion, if you like an item, you give it thumbs up, if not then thumbs down, easy peasy!
the app can be found on iTunes here.

As you can see, it shows you the clothing item on a model and which brand it's from. This bodycon jersey dress is from boohoo.com and is only £15. You can then vote whether you like it or not, and also share it or even buy it! It is literally the most perfect app for all bloggers and fashion freaks like me!

 This picture shows a variety of men's clothing which is New In. As you can see, it looks exactly the same as shopping online, however it has an enormous amount of brands to choose from. It varies with items for men and women, size and shape, price and occasion etc. You can find literally everything/anything with this amazing app.

Another great feature is being able to create a folder with an occasion and save your most liked items into each category. The style feed is very useful if you lead a busy lifestyle and want to quickly update your wardrobe for Winter nights out, and also days in.

Overall, I am very impressed with this app, and will definitely use it a lot! I'm so glad somebody has come up with this great tinder-like app for fashion gurus like me!

You can get the app yourself here. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I do!

Lots of love,
