Couple of lovely things...


Hey peepers, I'm sorry its been so long I honestly have been up to my eyeballs with so much personal stuff, no excuses ... I'm not going to waste time about explaining my disappearance and just get on with the post ... So finally the sun has come out again over here in the West Midlands > Bingo, I say! 
My boyfriend suprised me with a couple of new goodies today and I have finally got the chance to share with you guys.



I've been craving for a pair of Ray-Bans, real ones of course and I was more tempted after a friend showed me a very awesome website with some great deals and cut prices of extreme goods... secretsales.. So anyway the craving grew bigger when this friend of mine picked some up at the Selfridge's in Birmingham I tried some on and I knew I wanted the frames in a matte black with a thin rim just like the ones below.

I had spotted these (sunglasses worn) bad boys on ASOS when I was unsure of them but would have liked them for T and E (trial and error) as they were inexpensive for a pair of sunglasses that were black and thin rim. Now having them and looking at them I am not 100% on the shape compared to the Ray-bans. I would love to invest in either of these as a treat as they are pricing between £70 and £100 brand new online.

Thank you Mesh for my lovely sunglasses although they seem a big big they're still great and I love them <3 nbsp="" p="">

M.A.C pro conceal and correct palette in Medium

I have been after this product ever since I heard about it but I wasn't going to get it till my current concealer ran out (M.A.C studio finish concealer in NW35). I have so much trouble when it comes to dark eyes, I have been through quite a few concealers and correctors from brands such as Yves Saint Laurent to collection 2000, both high end and drugstore products. I find that the M.A.C concealer is too dark for my skin like a dark orange that doesn't blend well, it does the job to some extent but not a 100% satisfaction. I shall put up a post of a full review on the conceal and correct palette once I have experimented with it.

Hope you are all well
and
enjoying or have enjoyed some sun !

Sleek Contour: Brow Kit and Face Form reviews

Hey guys so I'm still on the hunt and desperately looking for an all time favourite eyebrow product. I've never found an eyebrow product that I have loved so much but after watching some videos on YouTube it gave me the push to go and purchase the Sleek Brow Kit (in Dark). So at the moment I'm just sticking to my Avon eyebrow glimmerstick definer. 

I also bought the Sleek Face Form in Medium. I've always used the Sleek Contour Kit, however whenever I seem to go and buy the product it's usually out of stock or the shops never have it in medium when I go. Therefore I was desperate and needed to buy the face form which didn't make much difference considering they just added a bronzer to it and the colours of the highlighter and contour was exactly the same as the Sleek Contour Kit although the only difference was the problem in the price....... 


Erm hello £9.99... really, well its damn right good my other half has his NUS discount card, buzzing haha. 


Onto the reviews...The brow kit for me isn't worth the hype its just personal use and opinion, I'd rather stick with the use of an eyebrow pencil, because I find the texture in the Sleek kit very hard to apply and set on my eyebrows even with the additional powder to set it with. For me it just looks clumpy and very tacky.  I have used it a few times when I've had more time to do my make up but then regretted it because it just does not look natural what so ever! Eek :( 

The face form on the other hand is (for me) brilliant because it does the job perfectly and I the Contour kit lasted me forever. But for a drug store product it doesn't seem to last all day even with my primer or M.A.C Fix+  but I've repurchased it and I still would. Its mainly the consistency of the highlighter that bugs me because I like to have a glow to my face even on a natural basis because I was using the M.A.C Cream Colour Base in Hush (Frost) but I only like to use this when I'm dolling my self up a bit more than my everyday look. So for an everyday product the face form works wonders but not an all day lasting product and still expensive for drug store.

Would love to trial and error some highlighters... IDEAS PLEASE? 

Hope your all well

Enjoy The Easter Holidays
