The Good's and the Bad's of the Iconic ABH Eyebrow Gear

A lot of those who know me, know that a lot of the things which I buy are things which I have heard or read about; or are simply limited edition so I just tell myself that I need to have it. A lot of the time, you could say that I am left satisfied with those things and following various beauty bloggers and so on would have helped. 

 This post is about one of the very few that I'm left disappointed with, and the reason why I feel that it is important to write about this one thing in particular is because of how much recognition is actually gets. The Anastasia Beverly Hills brow definer has genuinely no factor going for itself other than its amazing eyebrow brush. 

 I have used the Anastasia Beverly Hills dip brow pomade, which I loved, and so wanted to try something similar in brand and effect; yet different in efficiency and practicality, and when the lady at the counter told me it's a lot easier to apply, I was sold. It is like crayon and so difficult to apply, shading in the empty spaces in your eyebrows is like scraping, and you can actually notice the hairs falling onto the pencil itself. I must however add that I love the eyebrow brush on the other end of the definer as it is like a comb, and perfect for preparing your brows for outlining and filling in.

 I have tried many eyebrow pencils, and luckily for me, I have not had to be too fussy due to the thick nature of my eyebrows.  It has usually been a case of simple shading as opposed to having to draw them on, however, now that I have the dip brow pomade, I have to say, eyebrow shading has become a serious business and a lot more enjoyable.  It has a velvety texture, almost like applying butter to bread, it smoothly blends in and creates a natural and daring look.

Bestest Friend: My Locks

When someone tells you to "trust them", you do exactly the opposite of that.  No really, it doesn't really matter who that someone is but if somebody feels the need to tell you to believe in them and their words, then really they have a reason to make you feel like maybe you shouldn't trust them. This is no post about love and relationships; integrity and loyalty...  This is about my latest hairdresser trial whilst abroad for my recent internship at CNN.  So I find it hard to understand why a qualified hairdresser isn't capable of following simple instructions.  Without being stereo typical or anything, I cannot recall ever going to a Turkish hairdresser and not being told to get a haircut with of course a long list of reasons why and how it will look in the end.  I have one hairdresser who I swear by in the UK, who actually listens, too, for that matter and refuse to let any other so - called hairdresser to even trim the ends of my hair. Moving onto the wor...

The Power of Rejection

When was the last time you did something without wondering 'what if?', or worrying about the outcome? Now I find this to be a bit of a problem in our society, and want to get to the bottom of it. I say it's a problem, because I see that a lot of people of all ages, holding back in doing what could change a lot in their lives and decisions.  I sometimes feel like rejection or being turned away in whatever I do is such an obstacle that I need to express the negative effect this may have on the lives of so many of us. In order to overcome this obstacle, the first question I ask myself is 'so what?'. This is key, because when you start answering your own questions, it's a lot simpler to picture why 'rejection' or an answer which isn't that of your expectations isn't actually an obstacle.  Stating facts or presenting opinions where due is a part of our nature, and the human race is one of the most confusing among all. The point is, you are ne...

Berlin: The City of Many Walls

So as I had mentioned before, I enjoy shopping and accept that it is possibly my worst addiction.  I haven't however mentioned specifics and have now got to move onto the more exciting detail.  Spending money on plane tickets.  My latest trip was to Berlin.  I have been there before for only two days but I must say that seeing just a wall and visiting the Christmas market was far from sufficient and I knew I had to go back and visit from the day I got there and began exploring; so here it was. I arrived in Berlin on a cold but sunny Sunday Afternoon and the first thing which caught my attention was the long streets - covered in art.  I don't think I had appreciated the fun and colourful walls which are covered in graffiti as much as I thought I did the last time I was there.   When I arrived at the Park Plaza on Wall Street, I noticed a lot of bikes on the street corner which were to rent.  Of course immediately I tried to get on one to see if my leg...
