Product Review: The Body Shop Brow & Liner Kit

July 21, 2015 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , 18 Comments

The Body Shop

I have been using the brow & liner kit from The Body Shop for some weeks now and I have a lot to say about this product. A friend introduced me to this great product and I have not looked back ever since. I got the brown and black shade and it has since replaced my regular eyebrow pencil. I think it is a great product overall and I will tell you why but first  here is what The Body Shop has to say about this product:

This handy compact contains everything you need to create perfect eyebrows: a double-ended brush and light and dark shades to fill and define.

  • Contains two shades
  • Includes a double-ended brush
  • Dermatologically tested
  • Ophthalmologically tested
  • Suitable for contact-lens wearers

Here is my opinion:

PROS

  1. This product is great for contact-lens wearers. I am one so I know.
  2. It is long-lasting, stays on all day.
  3. It is quite affordable at £10 and it is value for money, I have had mine for over 5 weeks now and it is still waxing strong.
  4. It comes in three different shades; black and brown, blonde and auburn, and brunette and brown.So there is a shade for everyone.
  5. It defines my eyes beautifully.

CONS

1. There is quite a lot to be desired when it comes to the brush in the kit. The curved shape makes it awkward to hold. It just doesn’t work. I have to use my regular slanted MAC brush to do the work.

The only issue with this product is the brush but that is not an issue because I have a great brush to use in place of it. I recommend this brow and liner kit and I will be using this product at The Body Shop again.

Product Review: Iman Second To None Cream To Powder Foundation

July 12, 2015 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 14 Comments

I had been using my Marykay powder and foundation for many years and I wanted a change so I decided to pop into a Debenhams store to try the Iman Second To None Cream To Powder Foundation in Clay 3 shade. My mum has been using Iman for many years and she had only good things to say about the product so I decided to give it a try.

IMAN

 Here is what Iman has to say about the  product:

Gives the flawless look you want, with a truly natural appearance. Glides on like sheer silk to give the coverage of cream combined with a velvety powder finish.  Full coverage foundation imparts a velvety powder finish.

– Apply foundation and blend downward in the direction of your hair growth for a more even texture

– Velvety, creamy consistency blends easily

– Contains powder for a velvety finish

– Reduces the appearance of large pores

– Helps to hide discoloration

– For all skin types

– Available in Clay 1, Clay 2, Clay 5 (medium skin tones)

Earth 1, Earth 2, Earth 3, Earth 4, Earth 5 (dark to deep skin tones)

IMAN SECOND TO NONE

Here are my thoughts on the product:

PROS

  • The Second to None Cream to Powder Foundation in Clay 3 is the right shade for me. It matched my skin tone perfectly.
  • This product blends in well.
  • There is a shade for every skin tone.
  • It is easy to apply with the sponge that comes with it.
  • Goes on smoothly and gives great full coverage.

CONS

  • This product is quite hard to find. It is currently stocked in Debenhams in the UK and that seems to be the only beauty store to buy it but you may be able to buy it on Amazon.co.uk
  • It makes my face oily so I still have to apply a bit of powder after applying it.
  • It is quite pricey at £24.50

Overall, I like this product, it suits my skin tone and I will be using it again. I recommend Iman Second To None Cream to Powder.

Product Review – Boots Sleep Pillow Mist Lavender

June 23, 2015 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , 33 Comments

We all need our beauty sleep. Sleep does wonders for our skin and mood. I can’t function without sleep. I know I get very grumpy when I don’t have enough sleep and I breakout as well. Awhile ago,I suffered from insomnia quite regularly. My eyes will be open for hours and I will toss and turn till the early hours in the morning sometimes.

With a very busy and demanding job with a long commute, I was miserable. I didn’t want to take pills, I wanted a product to aid sleep with little or no interference with my body system. That was how I ended up with this Boots Sleep Pillow Mist Lavender.

Here is the product description:

Infused with soothing essential oils, this very fine mist creates a calming aroma and encourages relaxation at bedtime.

Before getting into bed, spray the mist into the air above your bed around the bedroom. The calming aroma will help you relax and aid a peaceful night’s sleep.

Boots Pillow Mist

PROS

  • It did the job, I felt relaxed at bedtime and slept soundly.
  • I love the cute purple bottle.
  • I love the lavender fragrance
  • It is quite affordable at £6.15

CONS

  • None. However this product is now called Boots ReBalance Dream Pillow Mist Lavender and the bottle is slightly different but it is the same.
