Bourjois Healthy Balance Unifying Powder

I have been on the hunt for a cheap yet high quality powder compact to keep in my handbag for touch ups on the go. I have tried the expensive compacts before but I hand on heart have to admit that the beatings my handbags usually take, I’ve trashed more than I have ever finished. High end chemist / drug store brands are the way forward for me.

Have you ever seen the damage a pressed powder can do to the contents of a handbag after its been slung in to the boot of a car or dropped from an airport security conveyor belt? It’s not pretty and no way for a £30 powder to die.

Make Up Store Tri Brow

Hello lovelies,

I was a little obsessed with my HD brows palette for a while but after a freak accident, the shade I was using somehow crumbled and broke, I have been stranded in brow limbo! I have super fair blonde eyebrows and they are pretty sparse too. I keep them waxed in to a pretty thin line and then dye them just to bulk them out a little. They always need filling in too.

Recently, Make Up Store came to my attention and more specifically, their eyebrow trios. The middle shade is a perfect ashy taupey brown colour that closely mimics the HD shade. I’ve used this kit every single day since I got it and it’s brow love!

The trio is a nice dinky little size that takes up no space in my travel kit which is a huge bonus for me!

The powder itself is divine. It feels almost creamy when you run your finger over it and I don’t get any dusty fall out on either the pan, my brush or even my brown. Finely milled and so smooth. The texture is just a pleasure to use.

I know a lot of people loved the HD brows because it came with a huge mirror and brush inside which made using the palette on the go easier, but I’ll be honest…. I don’t leave the house without my eyebrows “on” so I don’t really need to use this in situ throughout the day.

The selection of colours is great. The darkest colour works well on black and dark brown brows as well as setting gel liner whilst the mid tone and light shade work like a gem on lighter eyebrows.

I love the packaging, it has a luxe feel to it without the hefty price tag.

If you are eyebrow challenged like myself, or just want to be a little more groomed, then Make Up Store’s eyebrow trio is definitely the one for you!

You can buy Make Up Store Tri Brow kit here for £16.00

I have the foundation and powders on my wish list next!! Can’t wait to try those!

What do you use on your eyebrows? Have you tried Make Up Store before?

Decleor Relax Intense Fruit Seed Scrub

Hello Lovelies,

Now I’m not one to religiously use a scrub. I keep one in my shower but I just forget and it only comes out like a knight in shining armour when I’m just about to fake tan. This couldn’t have arrived at the more perfect time. I’m about to do a nice rich spray tan prior to my weekend in London so I need to buff away all the dead skin.

The Relax Intense smells absolutely divine. It really does have a high end spa smell to it. Not too girly or fruity. I’d wear it as a perfume if I could!

When you take the lid off, I was shocked to see how thick and gelatenous the scrub is. It is a dark brown treacley colour and it full of natural, fruit seeds to buff you down to your gleaming self.

The thick consistency makes it an absolute treat and thankfully it doesn’t leave behind a slimy flim after use. It left me feeling moisturised yes, but not that gross slime film.

Over all, I absolutely love this product and I can see me getting a lot of use out of this, my only negative comment is that I would have liked to have seen more seeds for a more abrasive firmer scrubbing action but again, if you aren’t a body scrub masochist like I seem to be, it’s a lovely gentle yet highly effective scrub. You can see and feel the results after just one use.

This jar is going to take pride of place in my shower AND I’m actually going to use it. I can’t wait to discover more of the line… I just hope they all smell as good as this one! Yum!
