MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study
I've used this paint pot almost every day since I got it and I am in love. I chose a paint pot over a matte paint as I tend to use sheer eyeshadows, and I also wanted something that could be used on its own that would still look pretty.
I have to say that this has almost replaced my Urban Decay Primer Potion as a base. It's easy to apply with (clean!) fingers and you can really build up the colour if you want to. Also depending on your skintone it's handy as a highlighter on the browbone.
Definitely worth £12.50 and a little goes a long way.
The Body Shop Brow Definer
Funny story...
Last month my friend Leanne held a murder mystery party for her birthday (which was a few days before mine - interesting weekend!) and we all dressed up accordingly. My character was an older man complete with pocket watch, cane and handkerchief. He was also a dirty murderer ;)
I pulled together an outfit and when I got to Leanne's I decided it would be hilarious to give myself some manly makeup, so I used some eyeliner to slap on a fake moustache and darken my brows. I somehow got compliments on these horrific brows.
If you're interested...
Hot.
So on my birthday a few days later I picked up a brow pencil in The Body Shop. The dark brown shade was on special offer, obviously it was just meant to be!
I've never really thought much about eyebrows before but I did remember hearing somewhere that fuller eyebrows make you appear younger. I'm quite pleased with the shape of mine but I did wish they were more dramatic. So this is another toy I've been playing with every day.
The difference for me may be subtle, but the pencil is soft and easy to apply so you could definitely build up more colour and shape as necessary. Here's a pic minus any brow definition, and one after using Brow Definer:
Look how much happier I am!
Collection 2000 Hot Looks in Dynasty
Remember how I said I love cheapy cheap cheap polishes? These are the bomb!
Boots are offering 2 for £5 right now. My favourite is Dynasty, which is a milky lilac. Two coats and you're done! I found it really easy to apply, it does dry fast and it lasted well.
Mark Hill Salon Sexy Straight Shampoo/Conditioner
I'm sort of cheating with this one as I've been using this since Christmas...! I got the mini versions as part of a gift set and have since repurchased in full size. This stuff lasts aaaages, you need a teeny bit compared with most shampoos. Also I should mention that I've had the full size since April and I am only just about to run out of the shampoo. I've been using the Salon Sexy Straight conditioner most of the time, and Soap & Glory Hair Supply about once a week as a deeper conditioning treatment.
As someone with curly, unruly hair, this is a miracle worker. I've also noticed it's really easy to rinse out. I am usually paranoid about being able to feel the residue of a conditioner in my hair and I just don't have that problem with Salon Sexy Straight. That may be the reason that the shine you can achieve is amazing, and it's so much easier and quicker to dry hair into a style. It also contains shea butter and seasilk. No idea what seasilk is(!), but these ingredients are supposed to improve straightening while strengthening and protecting hair.
I don't use any other styling products so I am pretty sure that it's this particular formula that my hair loves :)
Cardigans
I love these all year round, but I'm obsessed with my new Dotty P pink one:
The buttons are like little black jewels!
That'll do for the moment I should think :)
