Mally's Brow Fix

Mally's Brow Fix

Firstly let me say and stress, if you have never heard of  "mally's cosmectics" then you really have no idea what you are missing!

This product really is "that good" and is called "brow fix" for a reason, it really does fix your eyebrows, if you are like me, and can not stand over made up brows, that look like they have been painted on, not even drawn on, but painted on!  then this is the product for you.

One of the things that I like about this product is that  a person can come right up close to you and could not even tell that you have anything on your eyebrows.

This product thickens and lifts your eyebrows, to me, this stuff is like mascara for the brows.

How to use:-
Apply with light strokes, just as you would with an eyebrow pencil!
  • Thickens eyebrows
  • looks natural
  • Any skin tone can wear this product

This product retails for £20.25 from http://www.qvcuk.com/ and http://www.ebay.co.uk/

I would not be without this product, so if your like me and like the more natural looking brows, please give this a try.

No7 Eyeshadow Blend and Contour Brush (boots)

I was so excited when boots (there No7 range) came out with a blending eyeshadow brush! and even more chuffed because i used my five pound gift voucher, the brush itself costs £7.25 but i got it for £2.25 (whoop whoop, bar-gin over here-ya!) so i was well impressed with myself! lol!

I always wash my brushes before i use them.

I am just going to get to the point, humphhhh, no drum rolls needed for this brush, now i don't know if i picked up a faulty one, but when i was blending out my eyeshadows, the hairs from this brush were shedding!!! (not impressed!) and i mean shedding like the hairs wanted to break free from the brush! arghhh, not impressed at ALL! and yess i was fu-ming!

pro's

Looks pretty
Soft, so soft.

Con's

Denman Be-Bop Massage Brush

My first experience with a massage brush was around 3 years ago, at a hair salon and I have always thought to myself that I must get one of those for myself.
S reminded me the other day about them so I decided to pick one up.



At first look, it seems like it wont do much but that could not be further from the truth!!

The brush is round and made out of plastic, the bristles are soft but firm and are very flexible.
There is a handle located at the back of the brush that you can slip your 4 fingers in to help control the movement of the brush.



(excuse the messy nails in that shot!!)

Basically once you shampoo your hair you use the brush in any sort of motion you like to give a relaxing or stimulating scalp massage......... heavenly!!!


Now if you know anything about brushes you would have heard about Denman, they produce high quality hair-brushes for every type of hair, but they can be on the rather expensive side which why this massage brush is such a steal!!
Not only can it be used for a scalp massage but it can also be used to distribute gels, waxes and pomades!! and you can get it under £5 AMAZING!!!!

you can get it on the Denman website www.denmanbrush.com for £2.87 and it comes in black or silver.

You can also get it in Boots www.boots.com and John Lewis www.johnlewis.com but the price varies, you should still be able to get it under £5.

A fantastic multi task brush, 4.5 out of 5.

Fab-u-lush Lip Scrub!


Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

If you have never heard of "lush" before! my goodness, where have you been! this cosmetics company is amazing!. All of there products are freshly handmade.

What Lush says :-

"Lush is a fresh handmade cosmetics company, who do not test there ingredients on animals"

"Lush buy there ingredients from suppliers who do not test on animals!"

I was on the hunt for a lip scrub for ages, some of the prices out there were just far to much, then my best mate said, "why not try LUSH" so i did, and from that a love affair was born! If you like to wear lip gloss or lipstick, even a lip balm then you need a lip scrub, you need it! as there is nothing more awful then wearing the new season colours and having peeling, flaky lips, honey its not sexy, its not.

This lip scrub is made from castor sugar and jojoba oil ( you can make it yourself!) you only need a small amount, I take my pinkie finger ( that's my little finger) to apply it to my lips, in a circular motion, also trying my best not to eat it, as it does smell lovely!

This lip scrub retails at £4.95 for 25g which may seem expensive, but it lasts for a long time.

Lush's fab-u-lush lip scrub is a must have for any beauty junkies out there! you can buy this at any lush store or  direct from there website www.lush.co.uk
