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.

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...

Bitter Sweet Berlin

Three whole months without a single post.  Without anything of interest to scribble... Or type, should I say?..  They most certainly were not any old months where I simply wasn't doing or accomplishing anything; in fact I was pretty much getting my life together, making huge decisions.  Or just huge moves.  To Germany. What better way of restarting my good old writing habits than to update you all on my current location!  Hurrah, I finally made it here.  After several visits here and sleepless nights of um'ing and ah'ing, wondering why I cant find a job in Berlin, I was offered an opportunity to work as a customer solutions agent... Speaking English and Turkish only, of course.  My journey was not a smooth one to say the least, but settling in, moving in with my lovely flat mate and finally booking my evening German lessons I can say that I'm a lot more comfortable here, in Berlin. A lot of people did try and stop me when I was in the decision making...

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...
