My brow products (and a first impression)

Hi everyone,

I've been away from the blogosphere for a while now because of school and every deadline under the sun, but I've been spending some money so I'll be doing some reviews/ first impression posts hopefully soon.

Today I'll be doing a post on eyebrow products as I love a good eyebrow, and I'll be giving you an insight on my first impression of one specific product!


At the minute, I use mac eyeshadow in 'charcoal brown' due to Tanya Burr using it on her eyebrows in lots of her old YouTube videos. I love the way my eyebrows look when I apply this, and the application time is literally like 10 seconds, it's so easy!

I used to use pencils to fill in my brows when I first started getting into makeup, however I didn't like the way that they applied, I thought that they looked too waxy and streaky on my eyebrows. However I've since actually learnt how to use them and how to apply it onto your brow. I lightly dash it onto my brows and this makes it look more natural.

The last brow product I have and will be talking about is 'maybelline brow drama', it is a sculpting mascara and just putting it straight out there; I would not recommend!! It looked a dupe of the benefit gimme brow which I have resisted into buying it as I don't feel my brows are the right shape/too sparse to use it. Also it is quite expensive for the little tube it comes in. Obviously I wanted to try something like it before I splash the cash so I chose this product. I am not liking it, it goes on my skin above and below the brow rather than on the actual brow. I did get the lightest colour (there was only 2 shades) because I thought the darkest would be too dark for me, I was probably wrong. I just don't feel it gives any colour at all and it doesn't really shape the brows like what it says it does. Has anyone had the same problem with this product or just me?! Let me know!:)

Anyone have any different brow products they use which they think I should try? I'd love to try more:) Also if anybody has tried the benefit gimme brow make sure to tell me because I do reallllly want to try it!!!

Collective haul

Hi everyone,

Recently i've been spalshing the cash a bit and bought some new clothes, makeup and hair bits and bobs! All the items I bought were bought within like 5 days of each other so I did go a bit mental when it came to spending my money this week (after putting most of it away for my car insurance, nearly there woohoo!)
I'll link everything I bought so make sure to click on the links because 1. The pictures don't really show, the clothes, especially, any justice and 2. their descriptions will be a lot better than mine haha!

Firstly i'll start with makeup and hair stuff which I bought from Superdrug.

VO5 we're having a 2 for £5 and i've been wanting to try their 'Give me Texture' spray for ages, and I can tell you it doesn't dissapoint, my hair is huge after I spray a bit into the roots of my hair! I also bought their 'Refresh Me Quick' dry shampoo and I wanted to try another brand instead of Batiste, I think it's just as good!
Next I came across the Revlon stand, I've been drooling over these 'Colorburst Balms' since they came out and whilst they're still on a special offer price of £5.99 I thought I might as well (Zoella's haul tempted me too)! The colour I bought was the Lacquer one in 120 Vivacious, and it's just a shimmery fusica pink, I love it!!
My collection lasting perfection concealer is my holy grail but it doesn't seem to be covering my under eye dark circles recently so I decided to try a thicker product. I was going to dive straight in and get the Mac one but I thought I best test the formula first so bought a MUA version, (even though MUA will be completely different to the mac one). I'm not too keen so I'll stick to the collection one for the minute until I find a better one which I love!
I also bought some of the Oral B 3D whitening toothpaste but that's in my bathroom so not in the haul lol
I haven't shown you my full collection of Tanya Burr Lipglosses yet so I thought I'd add it into here, seen as i've recently bought two more shades. My favourite is Aurora (second to left), it is just a lovely everyday colour and as i've said before, the smell of them all is to die for!!! I got mine off of Feel Unique for £6.99 each, they often have some kind of discount on too which is great!

L-R: Champagne Toast, Aurora, Picnic in the Park,
Let's travel the world and Vampire Kiss

Now onto clothes...
The Daisy print top is from Dorothy Perkins and was £14. The black and white patterned top is from Matalan (I bought this to wear to sixth form as it's quite smart) and the pink top is from Matalan too! The Heels I bought are a simple black pair which I got from Tesco, they have a chunky heel and I absolutley love them!


The skirt on the left is from Matalan and was £10. I bought it to wear to sixth form, it's a simple just above the knee pencil wrap style skirt. The middle dress is also from Matalan (As you can tell Matalan is my fave haha), its a neon pink shift dress which I got for £16 and I love it! It looks fab with the black heels which I mentioned early on in this very long post! However, my favourite of the bunch is this black playsuit from Tesco. It's got some cut out detailing on the shoulders, has a long gold zip down the back and has a very deep V neck which is oh so revelaing (a bit out of my comfort zone haha). This was £22:)

Wow that was a long old post! 
Hope you enjoyed it and comment below telling me what your favourite clothing stores are because i'm still in need of more clothes haha! 

Thanks for reading:) (sorry it was soooo long)

Love Kieren xx

Mac Lipglass in lychee luxe

Hi everyone,

Thought I'd do a quick post to show you my new lip product which I received from my sister for my birthday. I was lucky enough to get a Mac product from her (along with a few other fab things)! She got me a lip glass in the shade 'Lychee Luxe'. It is a coral toned colour with specs of gold shimmer in it! I'm wearing it today and absolutely loving it:)


This pictures from my Instagram: kierendales :)

I also got the Rimmel match perfection foundation the other day after many recommendations and first impressions i'm liking it! 
Have you got of these lip products? Let me know if you have because I'll defiantly be buying more! 

Thanks for reading:)

Love Kieren xx
