THE SHADE & SWATCH
Brunette (#1706) - neutral brown/warm brown mixed
 
MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I’ve not come across an eyebrow pencil like this before. It has two shades of brunette in one pencil. There are only three overall shades to choose from (brunette, blonde & wonderful/grey), which isn’t the best but I was given the most appropriate shade for my hair colour. I’m not sure if everyone received the same shade or whether the information about us on the LF Beauty Box profile was used to match us with a shade. I haven’t actually used a brow pencil since 12th March this year! I just left my brows alone throughout lockdown and then when I went back to work, I just started tinting them and they look great with just a bit of brow gel to keep them in place. I thought I didn’t really have much hair to work with, but I am guessing the hairs were just too light for me to see. Since I have been tinting them, they look much fuller and almost like I have professionally had them done. I don’t know if I will really go back to using a pencil now because it has been so long and it looks too much to me. I would like to get them professionally shaped and micro-bladed, but it can be quite expensive to get done. I will hopefully give this pencil a go when I next wear a full face of make-up. Day-to-day (even pre-pandemic) I only really wear a little concealer (under eyes), pressed powder, a light dusting of bronzer and then highlighter. Pre-pandemic I used to also pencil in my brows, but it just looks silly to me now with the natural/no make-up look. I will most likely be wearing a full face tomorrow as my sort of tradition is that I wear glitter eyes on Christmas Day, so I might try it out then. The pencil seems kind of dry, but it might become creamier after it has been used a little. I haven’t done a full face since the 8th March this year! I have already done green glitter with a red crease and last year I did red glitter with a green crease. Tomorrow I think I am going to do blue glitter with a blue crease, very monochromatic!

Glossybox #25 - February 2019

This is my third Glossybox since I re-subscribed last year. It is also the Valentine’s Day themed box. I would say that so far, this box seems to be the one most tailored to my usual interests. I received seven products in this box, technically six because two go hand in hand. HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour in Venus This lip pencil formula is supposed to be waterproof and transfer-free. It should glide on effortlessly and give your lips an intense shot of colour. You can use it to contour or colour your lips or pair it with a lipstick. Venus is a warm beige nude shade. It glides onto your lips very easy, but it feels a little tacky when you fill your whole lips in with it. I’m not sure how often I would use this seeing as though I have never used lip liner. I prefer liquid lipsticks and I don’t feel the need to line my lips before applying it. | 1.20g - £16.00 | NAILS INC Nail Varnish in Status Ready This nail polish should be long lasting and super glossy. It is a deep che

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shimmer
