My Eyebrow Routine

Heeeeyyyyyy

Eyebrows are a big part of my life and they take a lot of handling so I'm going to show you my routine.

First, I wax my eyebrows myself using veet wax strips that I cut up into strips then use my tweezers to get any small hairs that did not come out with the wax.


I then comb them through and use a mixture of products to fill them in.
The long spoolie brush is by 'skin food' which is a Korean brand and I use this to comb them through.
I use my Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in black brown to outline my eyebrows then use it very lightly to fill in. Or once I've outlined it, I will use my Sleek brow kit in dark brown. I will use the wax to define and lightly fill in using short lines to create hair like lines and the powder to fill in and set the wax.
I then use a clear mascara to set my eyebrows.

What eyebrow products do you use?
The photo below is the result of my last eyebrow wax which was last week.


My eyebrows usually end up looking like this.



As you can see my eyebrows are very thick but look a lot thicker and fuller here than when they were not filled in (very first picture of my eyebrows).
I realise this is not everyone's style but I like them and I change them up regularly depending on my mood so some days I leave them natural or just use powder.

I hope you enjoyed it!


Pamper Evening - My Routine

Who doesn't love a good old pamper evening, especially now it's getting colder here in England?
I like to have them about once a week, usually on a Sunday evening.
Here's some snippets of a typical girly night in for me.

candles, wax melts, fairy lights and cute quotes
shower (shower tour coming soon)



So yeah... there are some steps missing here like: 
manicures;
doing my eyebrows;
exfoliating and moisturising body;
facial steaming;
 hair oils;
baking (brownie in a mug - click here);
films;
blogging and reading blogs;
watching youtube.

What do you do on a pamper night? Let me know in the comments.

See you soon!

Morning Routine

Hello! Everyone has a morning routine whether it consists of 1 simple thing or 10 not so simple things. Here is mine that I thought I'd share with you.

These are the products I use.
Some days I use different things or miss something out but this is the general routine for me on both school days and weekends. I do recommend these products especially the mini mitt by soap and glory and triple action face wash for teenagers mainly.

Don't forget to wash your hands!

This soap smells exactly like cola bottles.
 I wash my hands, usually with this soap. Sometimes using a sweet smelling soap can be a little overwhelming so I occasionally use antibacterial soap or just any that's there.

Brush your teeth.
 Next I brush my teeth using the Oral-B pro-active toothpaste. I brush my teeth before breakfast however  I realise that some people prefer to brush after breakfast. It's up to you.

Simple-face wash. Soap & glory-face massage mini mitt. 
 This face wash is my main one and I LOVE it! I feel like it makes my face really clean and it definitely helps with spots. I have sensitive skin and I haven't had a reaction with this and it hasn't made my face red so that's good. It's by Simple and it's the spotless skin, triple action face wash.

The Soap and Glory mini mitt is a life saver. It helps make the most out of the face wash. I use it with face washes and face scrubs whenever I use them. It's really small so you can carry it around with you and use it dry on it's own to help blood flow.

Simple-exfoliating wash. Soap & glory-face massage mini mitt.
 Again I love this wash. It's from Simple again so I haven't had any redness. It's an exfoliating wash specially made for oily skin so it is perfect for me. It's the clear skin oil balancing exfoliating wash.

I like to use both face washes but I don't always use both everyday.


The next step is pretty self explanatory.

Dry your face.

Moisturising.
After that, I like to moisturise. I'm not too fussy with moisturisers although I do love this one. It's called E45. It makes my skin feel very soft and it's great for sensitive skin.

The next steps are basically just under eye concealer, curling my eyelashes, clear mascara and getting changed. 

The concealer is Rimmel London Wake me up concealer. 
I only curl my eyelashes some days and I use a normal curler from primark. 
I then apply clear mascara from natual collection. It's a lash care mascara so it keeps them healthy. Lastly I get changed into whatever I feel like wearing and then head down to breakfast.
