An Easy Stocking filler!

As we wake each morning to find a light shimmer of frost covering everything, it can only mean one thing. Winter. Winter is well and truly here now as the nights draw in faster, heating is on and the hat and scarfs come out to play. 

The one thing every body loves (or stresses out over) about winter is that we gain one step closer to Christmas! A time of giving, receiving and spending time with our loved ones. So i thought id share a little stocking filler present that can be quite useful!

Rituals foaming shower gel is one idea that is perfect! Everyone loves a good shower gel for Christmas (sometimes is the easy option all so!) They are small enough to fit inside a stocking filler or maybe a little secret Santa gift idea! 

They are a gel form to start with and when it comes into contact with water it foams up, just like a shaving foam. The texture is so soft on the body and the smell is just pure bliss!  I have to say the eucalyptus and rosemary is my all time Favorite! The smell lasts ages on your self once used in the shower! Which is fab! I love getting a random sniff of the scent. 

I got brought these as a present myself and found them very useful for travelling as they are small and weigh hardly anything. It is perfect if you're a heavy packer! They can fit into such small gaps! They last quite a long time as well, i like to take showers once or twice a day (depending on what i'm doing) and these lasted me easily for two weeks!

Complexion Sponge

I know i am a little late jumping on the band wagon but i finally jumped on and so glad i did! I've heard so many people rave about how good these sponges are to blend in foundation, i always thought a sponge surely cant be to much different to a brush, How wrong was i!? 

I don't know if it was just coincidence but when i first used the sponge or beauty blender (as some like to call it) i had a lot of people commenting on how good my skin looked, they said it didn't even look like i was wearing foundation and that my skin looked amazing! We all love a good compliment i know but weather it was down to the sponge, who knows? But for now i shall say yes, yes it was down to the sponge. 

When i first started using this complexion sponge i just thought it was going to soak up my foundation into the sponge but surprisingly it hasn't! When applying the sponge on your face, oh my its soft! There is nothing worse than applying a brush or something on your face and its rough and makes it generally feel like i'm taking a layer off my skin if i apply it with a cheap makeup brush, but using this sponge its like applying silk to your face (not quite literally silk

Overall i am extremely happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this sponge to everyone! I actually look forward to applying my foundation in the morning (sad i know) and not having to worry about those lines that brushes leave! the dreaded lines! 

I purchased my complexion sponge from superdrug at £5.99

Drugstore to high end Brows!

We all know that when we meet someone we instantly judge, we cant help it, its just what we do even if we say we don't judge anybody and it only takes approx 3 seconds to decide if you like them or not. During those 3 seconds were most probably looking at their face and one of the things i certainly look at are eyebrows! I feel like over the last few years eyebrows are officially a 'thing' and its a 'thing' everyone wants the best of! 

So without further ado i shall get on with the aim of this post! (before i go on rambling about pointless stuff) i have found a product and a cheap product i shall add that makes brows look AMAZING! it is none other than a collection 'work the colour' eyebrow kit !

Collection work the colour eyebrow kit £3.99

I got my little kit from superdrug as i was looking for something cheap when i first started filling in my eyebrows and its perfect! It has 3 different powders which you can mix together with the brush that is supplied within to find your perfect eyebrow shade! Once you have found your eyebrow shade apply it with the double ended brush, i personally find the angled side is easier to apply because i like a nice crisp line or if your really not bothered then you can use the other end which is a standard brush id say. Once you are happy with the look you have created it also comes with a gel to secure it all in place!

If your eyebrows are anything like mine then they never like to stay where i want them to! So with the help of the gel it stays in place!  I have solidly used this product for about a year or so and it doesnt even look like ive touched it! Fair to say this product will last a very long time and for the price well you just cant beat it!

Or if you dont mind spending a little more on your eyebrows, lets face it everyone notices eyebrows!! Then you can try out this bad boy! 

Chelsea Boutique £35

http://www.chelseabeautique.com/collections/eyebrows/products/chelsea-brows

So i only came across this product because i was testing it for work, if i liked it then we would get some to sell to our clients. 

It does come with a price tag of £35! But within the box you get a very nice eyebrow brush which to be honest does feel amazing to hold (weird i know) but it just fits in the hand nicely and the bristles are so soft! (Its all about the bristles) It also comes with 6 eyebrow stencils! so if your no good at drawing eyebrows on then you can just simply find the stencil you like, place it over your eyebrow and fill away with the powder! 

When choosing this product you must make sure you get the correct colour for your eyebrows, they come in a range of colours but you only get one colour per pack, which is easier if you don't want to faff mixing your colour!

I found this eyebrow kit very long lasting! It definitely does what it says on the tin! Smudge proof and water resistant! it did take some scrubbing to free my eyebrow of powder which on a busy or hot day this is perfect!! Plus you get a set of tweezers! who doesnt want some tweezers!! They are a life saver! 

Let me know your favorite eyebrow products! Im open to all suggestions!
