Pencil vs Powder



This is a war between Pencil and Powder. Which is better when it comes to eyebrows? 

For many of years I have been using powder to fill and shape my eyebrows after one bad experience with a pencil. It was way too dark and went on in thick streaks and it just wasn't what I wanted. Until boxing day, after I sorted all my presents out I saw that I got an eyebrow pencil in my Ted Baker makeup set from my mom. The shade of it is so close to the colour of my hair that I took the risk and dived in. And it did not disappoint, it helped to shape my brows perfectly and helped them to look almost natural. It looks so good that I haven't reached for the powder since. 

I used to love using the brow powder my Make Up Obsession at Boots but the colour always seemed too dark to me and I couldn't find a lighter one other than the one that I have got. It made my brows stick out without looking natural. I used to use the Real Techniques brow brush and it helped my brows look natural. I definitely enjoy using the pencil more. 

What do you like to use?

Hey Guys, I spent the weekend at my mom's house and thought I would show you what I took with me in my make up bag.

21st Birthday- How I Got Ready

Image
Hi, guys, it’s official since September 23rd, I am 21!! For this birthday, I had no idea what was happening, my boyfriend and his family met up with my family and spoke in secret around me for over a month trying to make the day special for me. I can say now that it has been the best birthday I have ever had. But before the day I spent some time getting myself ready so I knew I looked photo ready. I did my nails, hair, really took care of my skin, changed my diet, and chose a special outfit.  I did my nails like this because I wanted something different and special. I wanted them to be noticeable against my outfit as well as to match them. I used Rimmel London 60 second shine in 800 black out and Super gel by Kate in 012 Soul Session. For extra detailing, I also used Kiko Milano Smart fast dry nail lacquer in this beautiful copper colour. I prepped my hair the week before with Percy and Reed Wonder Overnight Recovery, this made my hair feel amazing it completel...

Ant's Birthday Cake

Image
Mmmmm, How delicious does that cake look? Trust me it does taste delicious too. Hey, This is my Boyfriend's birthday cake, it took me about 4 hours to make and decorate. But it was worth it because he loved it and so did everyone else. I definitely cheated when it came to making this cake. I wanted to make him a cake I knew he was going to love. He loves chocolate fudge cake, so I thought this is similar so I'll give it a try. This cake is a  Betty Crocker  Devil's Food cake mix. It can be bought from any super market and only requires 3 ingredients to make the cake. To make Ant's cake I wanted four layers so I bought two boxes of cake mix and followed the instructions on the box to make them. I them cut the cakes in half and waited for them to completely cool. My future sister-in-law makes the best buttercream icing I have ever tasted in my life so I asked for a helping hand on that. She mixed icing sugar and butter together with a splash of milk to creat...
