MY TOP BROW PRODUCTS



I like to think my Brows are pretty good! I get compliments about my eyebrows all the time and even the lady at benefit says I have perfect brows! I thought i'd share some of my favourite brow products right now!

I've used brow kits for awhile, I love how everything is all together in a compact and its so simple and easy to use. I'm loving this Soap and Glory one right now! It's really straightforward so anyone can get perfect brows with this. You start with the Gel and apply this to the brow and then apply the powder over the gel for that statement brow. This kit even contains an arch highlighter to define the brow even more. I think this kit is well worth £12* its so easy to use and you create a natural brow for everyday or a more defined brow if you prefer.

I love my Anastasia Brow products! I got these whilst I was in America and I know I will be buying these again! I start by using the Brow Wiz Pencil to get the fine line and draw the shape I desire I then use the brush part of the pencil to brush the hairs upwards and smudge the line in so it looks more natural. I then use the Dipbrow Pomade to fill in the brows. I use my EcoTools Brow brush and start in the middle of the brow, I then apply product to and create my arch and then go back on myself to the start of my brow as this is where I like just a little bit of product.

Another favourite of mine is Eye of Horus brow define* which is really similar to the Anastasia Brow Wiz. Again I use the pencil to define my brow and get the shape right and use the brush to work the product in so my brow appears more natural. The pencil is so easy to use and you get a really good straight line. I use the brush to brush up the hairs which makes it easier to get an idea of the shape you will get when you add your brow product. You can buy Eye of Horus Brow Define at Beauty Bay

REVIEW : HC LUXSPA IN SELFRIDGES

I was so excited when HC LuxSpa popped up in Selfridges, it looks lush and they do amazing gel nails and hand treatments. I was stalking them for a a while on twitter and instagram and knew I needed to visit. So when they contacted me about going in I jumped at the chance! 

I wasn't really sure what treatment to have so the lovely Lauren said she would show me a bit of everything which sounded perfect! 

So first I picked which colour I was going to have, there's so many different ones to choose from. The Morgan Taylor polishes that they use look like really good quality and like I say come in such a variety of colours, the bottle is a really generous size aswell. I decided to go for Posh which Lauren said was quite a popular colour at the moment. It matches my Thomas Sabo Bracelet and my Olivia Burton watch perfectly. 

Then Lauren prepped my nails, filed sorted out my cuticles. She soaked my nails in the salt of the earth AROMASALT which smells amazing. They are the only place in the UK to use salt of the earth products in their manicures. She used an amazing tool for my cuticles and I have to say this is so good, I could actually see the cuticles being removed, i've never had this done before during a manicure. She then exfoliated my hands and also gave me an amazing hand massage.  This is all included in the express manicure aswell but its just a quick massage however they still spend time on you're cuticles. So still well worth the money if your in a hurry, 

Next was the IBX treatment - This month (October 2014) you can get a free IBX treatment on top of any gel polish manicure. I would totally recommend it, I think my nails felt stronger as soon as she put it on. It's supposed to strengthen the nails and make them grow. It also gives a better finish to your gel nails. It's normally only £10 on top of a treatment. She applied 3 coats of this so again well worth the money!

Next was the gel colour, I chose Posh which was this gorgeous natural pinky/mink shade. It's just gorgeous! I've had so many compliments about the colour. I was so happy with the finish. My nails look very clean and I just love the colour so much. I was very happy with my treatment and I am actually obsessed, I can't wait to go back. I can honestly say I will be going back regularly for my nails, I normally have gels anyway and would rather go to HC LuxSpa and have this lovely service and quality finish. 

To have an express manicure and gel polish finish it would cost £25 + an extra £10 for IBX treatment. I normally pay about £25 and get no where near this standard of finish so would much rather return to HC LuxSpa in the future.

*I was invited to have a complimentary treatment by HC LuxSpa however the review above is the truth and my own opinions.

REVIEW: Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel






So after seeing LLYMLRS rave about this time and time again I decided I had to try it. It's a gel cleanser, I think the packaging is very simplistic but will last well.  I like that its a squeeze bottle - this means you will be able to scrape every last bit out.

The formula is really nice and thick, you rub it together in your hands and massage onto the face. It feels abit sticky when you first apply it but it applies easily enough. You then apply some water to your face and continue to rub the gel in and it turns into a milky formula.

Then rinse the face with warm water. This leaves your skin feeling really clean, soft and fresh. I feel that this product makes my skin feel plump and ready to apply my face oil at night or my daily moisturiser. It removes make up very easily and is gentle on the skin. I like to take my make-up off with a cleansing water or milk and then follow with this or my REN cleansing gel. This gets all the stuborn make up off really easily.

My skins been really bad recently because of stress from uni but I really like how my skin feels, it feels clean and soft after i've washed with the cleansing gel.

I've been saving up my boots points and I will be repurchasing this.

You can buy this online from www.clarins.co.uk or www.boots.com
