Top 10 Over £10

26.8.14


I love a good beauty bargain as much as the next girl, but there is something so nice about treating yourself to a bit of luxury every now and then. Unfortunately I treat myself a lot more than I should and would often rather forego something necessary in favour of getting my hands on an expensive foundation- I'm trying to work on it, I promise!

I've compiled a little list of my favourite high end products, by no means is it in order nor is it an exhaustive list, but here is my Top 10 Over £10;

1)NARS Sheer Glow Foundation
2)Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel
3) Benefit Box O' Powders
4) MAC Eyeshadow Palette
5) MAC Lipsticks in Crème Cup, Fanfare and Velvet Teddy
6) MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle
7) MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural
8) Urban Decay Perversion Mascara (and Subversion Lash Primer!)
9) Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray
10) Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara.

Benefit Gimme Brow || Review

31.7.14

Gimme Brow- £17.50

I have been a massive fan of Benefit's Brow Zings for years- I'm fairly sure it was the first brow product I ever got, actually! Brow mascaras seem to be getting more and more popular now that many are opting for the 'Cara' brow, so I chose to put my relationship with Brow Zings on hold and hot footed it to my local Benefit counter to see what all the fuss was about.

At first I didn't really get on with this very well, despite the teeny tiny wand I found it almost clumsy to apply and the wand picks up SO much more product than necessary. After a few goes I've got a bit better at it, but rather than use it to fill in my brows, I use it to set them after I've filled them in with MAC's Charcoal Brown eyeshadow.

Honestly, I'm not completely blown away by this style of brow-fixing but I think once you get used to it it may well work. I know I've read so many rave reviews about Gimme Brow. Maybe I'm just using it wrong?!
