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!

May Glossybox Review! The Superdrug 50th Birthday Box ♥

Hey beaut's!

So its that time again... Glossybox time!!! There's been so much speculation surrounding what this months Glossybox collaboration was going to be and I can finally reveal that Glossybox have teamed up with the iconic beauty retailer Superdrug to celebrate their very special 50th birthday! As Superdrug has been our go to destination for all of our makeup and beauty products for an impressive 50 years, it seemed the perfect time for them to fill our boxes with goodies that will showcase what they have to offer us this Summer, ohhh I love a good Summer Beauty Edit he he... 

So lets see what I received inside my 'Superdrug 50th Birthday' Glossybox...

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara | Full size | £6.99

I actually already own this mascara and love it, so I'm happy to have another one in my makeup stash for when mine runs out. The Retro Glam Mascara is actually Rimmels first mascara with an hourglass shaped brush that really plumps up and curves those lashes for that iconic 'retro' 60's look. One of the main factors I love about this mascara is that it really does give you that wide-eyed look, and as I have small eyes anything that opens them up more I love he he. Also as a little treat Glossybox have given us a £2.00 off voucher for the Wake Me Up Foundation (my favourite he he) to use only instore at Superdrug, bonus! 

B. Quick One Coat Professional Finish Nail Polish in Persica | Full Size | £4.99

I've never actually bought anything from Superdrugs B. Makeup line before so I'm excited to see how this nail polish fairs. It claims to give intense colour payoff after one application, has fast drying time and says it will leave your nails looking beautifully glossy, oohhh whats not to love! The peachy/coral shade is right up my street too and perfect for the summer months ahead.

Superdrug Large Doughnut Ring | £3.99 |

I must admit its very rare that I have my hair in a nice neat bun and when I do I tend to use a sock to create the doughnut affect ha ha, but it's nice to actually have the correct tool for the job at last ha ha!

I Love Cosmetics Strawberries & Milkshake Shimmer & Sine Lip Gloss | Full Size | £1.29

This lip gloss literally smells incredible and isn't as sticky as I thought it was going to be, usually with lip gloss tubes I find the product really gloopy but this isn't at all, it's slightly tacky but nothing major at all. There's no colour payoff with this gloss as its main purpose is to add some slight shimmer to your look, I can see this looking really pretty on a hot summers night at a beach party or BBQ.  

Blow Pro Daily Volumizing Conditioner | Sample | £9,99 for 235ml

Blow Pro is a brand that's new to me but sounds fabulous. It's free from parabens, sulfates and sodium chloride and claims to nourish, add body and prevent split ends and fly aways, this sounds pretty amazing to me and I absolutely love trying haircare in beauty boxes so I shall be using this tonight he he.

BONUS PRODUCT! Garnier Oil Body Lotion | Sample | £4,99 for 250ml

Usually I hate body oils... But... I absolutely love this one by Garnier and I'm definitely going to be buying the full size version of this pronto! It's a light, silky oil that's infused with body lotion that offers the same hydration and moisture of an oil but in the form of a body lotion, it's lovely and perfect for those who like the benefit of an oil but hate the oily feeling like I do. It also smells great, absorbs nicely and I'd go as far as saying that this could be my go to summer moisturiser.

BONUS PRODUCT! Ghost Eclipse | Sample | £33.00 for 50ml

I don't usually like getting perfume samples in my Glossybox but as this is a bonus product I don't mind so much, plus I love Ghost fragrances and the little sample is nice to throw in my handbag for an on the go spritz.

Overall I'm really happy with this months box, the contents is great I love that theres a good mix of full size products and samples and the collaboration is fantastic!


What did you think of this month's box beaut's?? I'd love to know.

Rimmel Idol Eyes Collection by Kate ♥

Hey beaut's!

Recently Rimmel London announced that they would be launching a new Kate Moss Collection called Idol Eyes. The Idol Eyes collection, which hit the shelves on the 14th of May,  has been inspired by the supermodels favourite gem stones and jewels and the shade range really reflects that. 


The line consists of a Mascara which is very similar to the Rimmel Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara with it's broken heart shaped wand to achieve that voluminous lift and curl and is available in four colours, Eye Rock Jet Black, Eye Rock Sapphire (blue), Eye Rock Emerald (green) and Eye Rock Amethyst (purple). Next is the Kate Shadow Sticks which feature four long lasting eye colours in pencil form that illuminate the eyes in a single stroke. The super creamy formula blends and applies without scratching or dragging on the eyes for smooth application. The Shadow Sticks are priced at £4.49 each and come in Deep Amethyst (purple), Pure Turquoise (teal), Rose Gold (gold) and Electric Sapphire (blue). And to complete the collection there is an emerald green waterproof Kate Gel Eye Liner, unfortunately that only comes in the one shade but I think it's absolutely beautiful. 

As you may know a few weeks ago I went on the Boots online waiting list so that I could be informed when the Rimmel Kate Mascara was released (more information here), when Boots emailed me they kindly sent me a voucher code that added 4 free Kate goodies into my basket at the checkout but only when I ordered the mascara, so I got 2 freebies from the Idol Eyes Collection and 2 freebies from Kates new Urban Bohemian Collection (post on that coming soon).

I thought I would write up mini reviews for each product that I have tried from the Idol Eyes Collection so far...

Kate Mascara in Eye Rock Jet Black £7.49

Truth be told Kate's Mascara is exactly the same as the Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara , it shares the same wand and from what I can tell it shares the same formula too, however Kate has launched the mascara in 4 all new jewel toned shades, so if you already own the Rockin' Curves Mascara you may want to give this a swerve, unless you are like me and get sucked into the all new 'Kate' packaging which I think is lovely, it looks quite expensive and really reminds me of the Benefit They're Real packaging. If your braver than me and like rockin coloured mascara's I do think you will love this one.

Kate Eye Shadow Stick in Rose Gold £4.49

This is my very first eye shadow stick from Rimmel and after trying this I cant believe I've never bought any before because I love it! The Kate Eyeshadow Sticks share the same formula as the Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Sticks and again come in 4 all new jewel tones shades. After giving the Rose Gold offering a whirl I can tell these little beauties are perfect for summertime wear, firstly they set nicely giving you 24 hour/waterproof hold so it's perfect for those days when it's super hot and sticky or even if you on holiday and you want a wash of colour over your lids when swimming etc, these wont budge. As if the shade was beautiful enough the formula is absolutely beautiful too, its so super soft and creamy and just glides onto your eyelids without dragging and blends out a treat. This shade also works particularly well as a base for a gorgeous golden/bronze eye look, which against a tan will look stunning. 

Kate Gel Eye Liner in Emerald Green £6.99

The Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in Kates Special Edition Idol Eyes Collection just comes in the one shade Emerald Green, I would of loved to see the gel liner in a collection of colours like the mascara and the eye shadow sticks but hey ho, Emerald Green is a beautiful shade so I wont grumble too much he he. In the box you get a cute plastic pot with your gel liner inside and a little gel liner brush which is actually quite good considering it's a little extra. The gel liner itself is creamy and easy to use and looks great against my brown eyes, it's quite a deep Emerald Green shade and makes a nice change to the typical Black liner that I always use. Just like the eye shadow sticks the gel liner provides 24 hour/waterproof hold so it's perfect to wear in the heat and is super long lasting.

Overall I absolutely love this collection, the products and the shades are perfect for this time of year and I'm now lusting after all the other shades too he he.

Do let me know if you would like full in depth reviews of all the products I've featured in this post and I'd love to know if you've picked any of Kate Moss' Idol Eyes Collection up too.
