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.

Winter Wear: Seasonal Skin Food

It is no secret that we all want good skin. Age, gender or even climate is no exception to that rule so undoubtedly the first thing we can expect to do is jump on Google to find out which cream is the best and why. I would like to start off by talking about what little care I showed towards good skincare. In all honesty, I used to go for the most cost effective option of a range in which I believed to be a good enough brand, and would check on my cheeks to see how they're doing and made sure they felt smooth... Now what is "good" and how do you determine what is and isn't a good brand? Price tag? Reviews? Word of mouth? All seem pretty fair to me but what I have really come to realise is that if something isn't good for your skin type then it may not necessarily be good at all. Our skin is like the most delicate piece of clothing we wear and given how much exposure to pollution and harmful rays it has throughout the day, there has to...

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...

Perfume: The "P" in Peace

Perfume enhances our senses. Not just smell - but also the sense of being. Freedom. And it just makes sense... It's a subject which I have spoken about since I have been old enough to think and how it shapes so much of what we do and feel is so significant. Airport sprees are especially a highlight as it means testing new fragrances and deciding which one I want next. Finding the one and drowning yourself in the deepness of the bottle and the journey it takes you on is an exciting part of the trip. One of the main factors for me is the memory that you create with just a smell. When you use a perfume at a specific time or place, it helps store that memory and combines the scent with that experience - this is especially why I prefer to go on a perfume hunt when I am travelling! Being on holiday means that I get to relax and think about the perfume (which sticks to my travel hoodie and lingers in the hotel room for t...
