The easiest simple eyebrow tutorial for beginners, for intermediates, for experts **UPDATED**











so, here is a step by step of products I used as well as where you can get yours, at the best prices :-) just click on the coloured text to take you directly to where you can get yours.

enjoy xxx


1.Use a spoolie to brush your brows into the desired shape.


2.  Draw a line underneath your brow using Rimmel Professional Eye Brow Pencil in the shade black brown. (if you're looking for a sharp look/finish, then make sure your pencil is sharpened).



3. With a light hand, draw brush strokes, up from the line drawn in step two, in the direction of your brow hairs (to prevent a heavy hand, try to make sure you don't draw multiple strokes in the same spot).


4. Using the Stila eyebrow brush and NC45 Mac concealer do a clean up under the brow and blend downwards.


5. I usually like to bring the concealer forward towards the middle of my nose, on both brows as I use this to help me make both brows more or less the same (Eyebrows should be mono-zygotic twins lool).


6. I then use NC50 Mac concealer for the top of my brows to clean it up and the blend upwards.



Until next time :-)

Rosey Lips



 Hi lovelies

here's the link to the latest video:
http://youtu.be/ik6kKJKznDY

To go straight to the product, click the orange :-)

In order of use, here's a list of what I used and where you can purchase yours:

1.
To remove the dark circles under my eyes and above my lip, I used the pure orange studio finish skin corrector from MAC.
 
An alternative cheaper version  is LA colors cover up pro concealer pure orange  (does a pretty good job also)



 
2.
Concealer dotted all over face - my colour is NC50 Mac in studio finish SPF 35 concealer.








3.
BLEND BLEND BLEND. For me, the best tool in the whole wide world for this is the Real Techniques stippling brush


Don't miss out on the 3 for 2 on selected real techniques



4.
Liquid highlight using my Select Cover up MAC concealer in shade NC45








5.
I always used the Real Techniques expert face brush to blend my liquid highlight and also my powder highlight. It has this amazing buffering effect.







6.
To create my contour, I used two products - Firstly, I use Mac's Studio fix plus powder in shade NW45, then on top of that I used sleek face contour kit in dark.







7.
And of course Ben Nye in Topaz to highlight.










8.
I used my Studio fix plus powder in shade c8 (which is my all over face powder) as my eye lid base.








9.
Winged liner - Seventeen High Drama Intense Liquid Eyeliner. Incredibly affordable and incredibly accurate.







10.
I really love the Maybelline great lash mascara in blackest black - definitely a classic favourite.

By the way, Maybelline have a cool nudes palette they have called it 'The Nudes' :-) kinda looks like one of the Naked Palettes but at a much more amazing price.



11.
And lastly, I used Fashion Fair lipstick in the shade Rosey.

What To Wear Spring 2015


These items were not sent to me for review. These were bought with my own money. I am just sharing - sharing is caring xx

Hey lovelies - here's my 'what to wear Spring 2015' video:

http://youtu.be/acJtvj1MiB0

  Below are links to exact items shown in video as well as look-alikes for links I cannot find xx 

Many items coms with free delivery and amazing prices - Enjoy xx

Look 1 - Shirt Dress + gladiator sandals

This look is soo wearble. keep it casual with sandals or create a simple evening look by pairing with a pair of heels. As I was going for a casual look, I stuck to the sandals :-)


Click here to check out the shirt dress xx

Click here to check out the gladiator sandals xx

 

Look 2 - Matching Sweat Set

Very casual look - great for your every day to day errands. I paired this look with wedged sneakers but again, feel free to throw on some Chuck Taylors :-) or whatever takes your fancy

 Click here for a similar matching sweat set xx

 

  Look 3 - Yellow

Yellow is an amazing shade for Spring. I myself love a good Mustard (English too!!). The patterned shirt I am wearing is part of the fitted patterned shirt range at Hawes and Curtis, some of which are currently on SALE!! (check out some fitted pattern shirts here).


Loving the mustard boot? click here for my suggestion xx

 

Look 4 - Kimono Trench Coat

soooo I don't know what Spring is like where you are, but where I am, weather fluctatuates between cold and 'Meh' warm. The Kimono trench coat I think is a must have regardless of season. It is the equivalent of Brunch - not quite Breakfast and not quite lunch! You can use it to keep yourself a little covered if the weather is soso. It's also a sexy way to show a lot without showing too much (As my outfit suggestion shows):


Click here for Trench Coat Option 1


Click here for Trench Coat Option 2

 

 Look 5 - All white Errrthing :-)

I think this look speaks for itself. The high waisted skirt does ALOT for ones figure. 

FAST Selling out so click here to it out in multiples colours 

Alternatively, Click here for another option (Does the same for the figure) 

All white pointed heel? 

How about the white crop top?
