Brows From Eylure


This post is so exciting for me! 

For years I've struggled with my eyebrows. I hated them for so long. Throughout my teenage years I was plagued with awful brows that caused me lots of embarrassment. I spent years feeling so self conscious of my eyebrows. My Dad has very thick eyebrows. Wild beasts in fact and unfortunately they got passed down to me. I didn't know how to work with them and after going in strong with the tweezers one afternoon, I had made them worse. The backstreet beautician didn't help either - over waxing and even burning my skin once too, I never returned. 


Luckily in my later teens, I found a lovely beautician called Gemma who helped my brows. A couple of years and a whole heap of beauty tutorials later I decided it was time to grow my eyebrows a little thicker. But I was still left with sparse areas particularly at the start of my brows that didn't want to grow back. I soon learnt I needed to master the skill of filling them in and shaping them myself everyday.
I went through a lot of trial and error with products. 


So, I was so excited when I was lucky enough to win the whole brow range from Eylure.


They held a twitter competition and a masterclass specifically for brows alongside brow genius Sal, The Eyebrow King. 


I was so excited to see I had won the range. I could feel my eyebrows breathing a sigh of relief. 


Take a closer look at the amazing products:


I wish I had found these stencils and shapers years ago - way before letting other people touch my eyebrows.




You can really smell the rosemary in the brow tame and define wax. Its so good. 


I've never paid much attention to brow tints in the past. I'm intrigued to see what this product will do for me.


These tweezers look amazing. They will help to tame my crazy stray hairs and a great comb to tidy them up.



A girl can never have enough help when it comes to brows in my opinion.



The brow luminizer and contour sticks are something I've never seen before. Instead of hiding my brows now, I get to exaggerate them! 




I went for mid brown. I'm excited to work with these perfectly coloured products. Its going to save me time and effort searching and mixing for the right colour to use on my brows.





I've never used a pomade before. I've seen them used in tutorials and was desperate to get my hands on one but I didn't know what to try. I'm excited to try this smudge resistant pomade.



How great does this palette look. I can't wait to try these.




I've not come across a brow amplifier before. This should be interesting to quickly apply and to see the difference. 


This thin, easy to use crayon will speed up my brow routine so much. I can fill in right where I need it.


My wild brows need all the help they can get when it comes to keeping them in place. I'm absolutely sure this brow control and shape gel will work like magic.

Wearing Pretty Little Thing

Last month I took a little break to sun it up in Spain. Just a few days away was dreamy! 

I had to pack my favourite summer dress from Pretty Little Thing. 

Pretty Little Thing have so many gorgeous pieces right now. So gorgeous, you have to check them out at Pretty Little Thing.




When I'm in a hot country I try to let my hair dry naturally. I wash it, plait my hair and let it dry naturally and this is the result. I love it because it doesn't take too much effort and I don't have to spend time using heat appliances. Beachy, soft and healthy!

Beautiful Shots From The Weekend

This past weekend was a super chilled one. Lazy in fact! But I really enjoyed it! 

I ventured into my back garden to snap some nature shots and I'm really proud of how they came out!

We are lucky enough to have the most gorgeous garden so its ideal to get some amazing shots.

Whats your favourite shot?


I am in love with this colour. How gorgeous is this photo?


How beautifully vivid is this flower.

I like this light pink flower, it photographed arty.


I love this shot. This is one of my favourites, the sun just breaking through the trees.


This is the closest I'll get to insects. Thank goodness for the zoom button.

This photo is so autumnal. I like it.

What I've Been Eating This Week

This past week I've really been enjoying my food and building myself back up after being away for a little break.

I've enjoyed taking photos of my food this week to share on my blog (yes, I know its frowned upon - and people think its weird... But who cares?!)


I've been trying to get back into eating more fruit for breakfast. I've been enjoying banana and Rowse Honey. I also like to add cinnamon. Of course served along side a cup of tea!




I loved my dinner on Monday. I mean, who doesn't love pizza, chips and Dr Pepper? 

Nothing fancy about my photography but it was delicious all the same!


It might be "junk food" to many, or unhealthy but I needed it and it was so so good!!!


Please remember, don't call people out on eating "junk food" because you never know their private reasons for needing to eat it. 

I have a sweet tooth and love desserts!




I love brownies and ice cream. We make the brownies from a Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix from Costco. This Kelly's of Cornwall ice cream made it even more luxurious and rich. This was a treat!


Crumpets for breakfast was lovely this week. Very British!


I love my hot puddings because I have an illness that reacts to the cold (I basically spend majority of my life freezing cold) - so anything warm or hot is always welcomed. Especially if its treacle tart and Ambrosia custard! Yum! 


Look at this dreamy treacle tart!



Be prepared for your mouth to water!! 

My Mum made the most delicious lasagna this week. It was incredible! I am not exaggerating!




Lasagna is one of my favourite meals. I love all things pasta and cheesy! 







What's your favourite food?

Soft Sleek Hair From GHD

So this week I actually managed to get myself up, dressed and makeup on successfully after battling with an awful cold. Its made me feel so blaah all week so it was nice to get my makeup on and pick myself up a bit.

 For a couple of weeks now I've been suffering with knotty hair. It's been driving me crazy, after getting ready I thought I would try and tidy up my hair a little too. I whipped out my GHD's and knew I wanted to tame some of the knotty craziness, so I smoothed through once with my straighteners and then started to create some soft waves. 


I didn't want my hair curly but I knew I wanted something soft, sleek and tidy. I was taking small sections of hair and pulling them softly backwards through the straighteners twisting my wrist to create a soft bend in the hair.



 I was lifting and pulling the sections out and away from my face because I didn't want curls too close to my roots.


My hair really cheered me up this week and made me feel much brighter and more glam.
