MUA Eyebrow pencils

Ok, so im gonna admit something... I hate eyebrows! I think their a weird bit of hair floating on your face and are just silly if you think about it! However... I would look like some weird alean without them so I shall not go shaving them off. I dont like threading my eyebrows and will occasionally pluck them, if they are looking particularly bad.

In order to controle the beast i invested in the MUA eyebrow pencil at a WOPPING £1! I know what you thinking woo Rutter you braking the bank their! Anyway i have it in two shades in Blond and Brunette. (I do think these are the only two colours available)

Now i started off using the Brunette pencil as i have naturally dark brown hair but my eyebrows stuck out like a saw thumb under my pink hair. So tried the Blond one instead which is more an ash blond shade.

When applying these you only need a very light swipe across the brows as if you do it too hard then it like clumps like a gell. After i have put across my brows i use the litte brush on the end to like spread it out and look a bit more natural and stop any hard lines then use Miss sporty clear mascara as brow gell.

Now i must say i dont think this product lasts allll day, it lasts a good 6 hours but after that it needs re-applying.

Final thoughts - well this is great! easy to apply, and perfect for a brow novis and hater! The only thing is that you have to sharpen it about every other time you use it, but i dont mind if it runs out cos i will just buy another :] 

Price - 10/10 yet another good product for just £1 

Packaging - 8/10 good, works well and i like the brush on the end.

Product - 8/10 good product, does the job but can go clumpy if you use too much and doesn't last a long day.

Colour - 6/10 again as any of the cheeper makeup brands the colour range isnt great but eyebrows dont differer that much.

Smell - N/A - its a pencil. 

NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Face powder

The NYC Smooth skin pressed face powder has just replaced the collection 2000 pressed powder which i used to use every day.

I am i big connoisseur of the cheep face powders as they are not much different to high end brands or even higher up drug store brands such as Rimmel or Loreal. And think that pressed powder is very good to set foundation and give you a nice flawless look.

I brought this product from Superdrug for £1.99. I do believe that it is on offer at the moment and is usually around £3.

Ok lets review this sucker! I chose the shade 702A Naturally Beige as it was the lightest and not translucent powder (which is also available). Now this shade suits me well as i am pale but the colour range that was available was not great. This is the only problem with cheep face powders that the colour range is not good. So if you have dark skin or skin with different tones such as olive or redness then i dont think this powder would be great for you. Sucky cheep brands and their colour range! But you could try the translucent powder. 

Anyway when i first opened this product it came with a little puff (which went in the bin, i use a brush) and a mirror in the top. which is nice for touch up during the day if you have oily skin to help controle that. The packaging feels good and not too cheep but i am worried if you were to keep this product in your bag then the hinge would brake as its only a little bit of plastic. 

Theirs an imposing of NYC in the powder  which really makes it look posher than it is! 

The powder has a light smell that smells like a moisturiser smell. The powder is very smooth and very pigmented and could be worn alone if you just want to mattify your face without wearing foundation. 

Price - 10/10 great value for money!

Packaging - 6/10 looks nice but im worried about it braking.

Product - 8/10 great powder and great for every day use.

Colour - 7/10 it matches me perfectly but not a great range for other skin colours.

Smell - 8/10 smells fine, not a strong scent and cant smell it on your face.
