Sleek MakeUP Eyebrow Stylist in Medium | Review ♥

Hi beaut's!

I've really been getting into my eyebrow products at the moment, I'm usually a brow powder girl and to be honest I've never really experimented much with many brow products in the form of pencils or wax but recently I've been giving the Sleek Eyebrow Stylist* a go and I have to say I love it!

Sleek Makeup's Eyebrow Stylist (£5.99) is available in three shades Light, Medium and Dark so there should be a shade to suit most brows woohoo, and for any of you brow fanatics out there it's said that Sleeks offering is an exact dupe for the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil which retails at a whopping £26.00, so your making a great saving with Sleeks offering. The very first thing that stood out for me when opening the Eyebrow Stylist was just how practical the packaging is, it's quite a basic, plain black, plastic packaging but has that 'sleek' feel to it and then it gets better because it combines a unique angled pencil on one end, with a styling/blending brush on the other end to help groom those brows into place, so you literally have everything you need for your brows in one little pencil, it's great! 

The Eyebrow Stylist also has a very intreaguing yet unique angular tip which I've never really seen before within a brow pencil. The angler tip can be used either on it side, using the slanted, flat edge to fill in larger area's of the brow with broad strokes and the pointed tip is great for more defining strokes and outlining your brow. I must add, another fabulous thing about the Stylists  packaging is that is has a twist up mechanism, so no need for sharpening which means the unique shape of the pencil will never be ruined, genuis!

I find when using the pencil it applies quite soft making it easy to create a natural look but of course you can build that colour up to have those brows as bold as you like! As for the Stylists formula... It's completely matte, quite creamy and smooth which I like as certain brow pencils I've tried in the past have been really hard, stiff and rather drying but Sleeks offering is nothing like that at all. The lasting power of the brow pencil on my brows was really good, my makeup is always applied quite early in the moring and when ive gone to remove my makeup in the evenings my brows still look groomed yet natural and thats without using a brow gel or fixer over the top, so the lasting power gets a big thumbs up from me.

Overall Im majorly impressed  with Sleeks Eyebrow Stylist and the Meduim shade matches  perefctly with my hair and brow shade. If your looking for a practical, afforadble, great quality brow pencil, that applys easy and had a super smooth formula this is the kiddo for you!

Sleek MakeUP's Eyebrow Stylist retails for £5.99 and is availble in selected Superdrug and Boots stores and of course online at www.sleekmakeup.com.    

Have you tried the Eyebrow Stylist before beaut's?? I'd love to know your thoughts on it!

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

 The other day when repurchasing my all time favourite concealer, the 'Collection Lasting Perfection' i realised I've never done a review on it before, silly me. Ive been using this concealer for years and have gone through so many tubes, but i just love this concealer so much i wont ever stray from it and no matter how many concealers i try they never really come close to Collection's offering.

The Lasting Perfection Concealer comes in a little plastic tube (beware the writing rubs off the packaging almost instantly) with a doe foot applicator, there's 4 shades to choose from in the collection, Fair, Light, Medium and Dark. I always buy the shade 'Fair' for under my eyes as i like a nice brightening concealer for under the eyes but then i also use 'Meduim' for any blemishes i might have. 

The consistency of this concealer id say is quite thick and creamy, it's really easy to work with and blends out beautifully and provides full coverage without looking cakey, it also covers blemishes and dark under eye circles superbly. Another little use for this concealer is that it helps conceal and fill pores really well too, brilliant!!! I find the best way to apply this concealer is either with your fingers or i like to use my 'Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush' just for that flawless finish.

The concealer claims to have super long lasting 16 hour wear coverage, i do agree that this is a super long lasting concealer but id say more like 9-10 hours than 16. The only negative i have about the concealer itself it the fact it can cling to dry patches, for instance if i have a spot that's healing and i use the concealer to cover it i end up making the spot more visible as the concealer doesn't really blend in it just clings, lucky enough i don't really suffer with spots or break outs so its not too much of an issue for me, but if you was to buy this concealer for that purpose keep that in mind.

All in all this is one fabulous concealer and I'm pretty sure i will continue to repurchase this for a very long time, its also a nice affordable concealer too priced at just £4.19, such a beauty bargain. 

Have you tried this concealer??? What did you think???
