Beauty | The perfect brow

 KISS BEAUTIFUL BROW KIT | THE ULTIMATE BROW KIT* 

I’m quite lucky in the sense that I have quite full eyebrows and thanks to Lilash who I mentioned in my previous post, my eyebrows are pretty full. Although I am quite fortunate in this department, I still heavily rely on using a brow kit to enhance the colour and define the shaping of my brows. So, as you can guess getting this one from KISS was a dream to review. When we are talking brow kits, you couldn’t really ask for of a better kit than this one. This beautiful brow kit comes with all of the essentials to shape and trim your brows before applying the powder.

It is always a must for me to define the shaping of my brows, but I like to ensure they still look natural when I apply the powder. I find the colours of this kit perfect for my eyebrows for lining and filling. There is also a cream to set your hairs after application, so your shape holds throughout the day – yes perfect. My favourite part of this kit is the highlighter; just amazing! I love to add a highlight under my brow, to again define but lighten my brow bone, so this is an ultimate for me with this kit. The tools included really help to set and shape your brows perfectly; it’s a must try.

Do let me know if you end up trying out the brow kit, I've already lost mine to my teenage sister who loves it! You can find KISS PRODUCTS here on their Twitter @KissProducts +Kiss Products .

NSPA, a Little Beauty Ritual!

 nspa products* | prices ranging from £2.95 each.

Hey guys! A little while ago I received this absolutely lovely bloggers bag made up of face and skin care goodies from NSPA beauty. I was so chuffed to receive this and couldn’t wait to start trying out the products. I’ve mainly used the facial products rather than the all over body care as I take foreverrrr in the shower anyway so I’d hate to make the process of showering even longer. So I’ve been using this little three step routine for a good few weeks now, if at all I receive any beauty products I just have to use them for a period of time to get their full potential out of them… there’s just no point in using a skin care product a few times and then summing it up, that wouldn’t work for me. So here is how I found using the Nspa products.

Firstly I have to say, I hadn’t heard of this brand before, but they definitely deserve a lot more credit than they get as they easily match up to the well known- more expensive skin care brands which are out there. I began using the three step facial products daily to find a quick development in the way my skin looked and felt. The set came with a Melting Cleansing Gel, Hot Cloth Polish and an Illuminating Beauty Serum,  to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise your skin delicately. My face became slightly firmer after a couple weeks of daily use and I noticed my overall skin tone developing with a slight reduction to my pores. Marvellous!

Packaging!

I absolutely loved this little bag of products, Nspa beauty products are in simple tubes but I think the simplicity of the products packaging is what makes it look appealing. The colours are pale with contrasting pale coloured numbers on each tube to represent each facial step; the pale blue bag was just so pretty too!

Pro’s

+ My skin felt amazingly soft from first use

+ The three step application is soothing to use and is such a rewarding process

+ The third step can be worn either under or over makeup for a daily lift

+ I noticed a reduction in my pore visibility

+ The price is a definite pro!

+ I loved that you can massage the cleansing gel into dry skin

Con’s

- Like other products I have tried recently it didn’t really show any positive effect to the small but annoying section of slight acne I have at the moment or even to the acne scars, I'm yet to find a product that works for me in this area.

I also tried out step 3 of the body care set; the Jojoba and White Jasmine Body Lotion which felt amazing to use and left my skin feeling soft for hours, I’ve recently come back from holiday and its maintaining my dry patches of tan well, my skin usually flakes quickly but at the moment its kept well.

Have you tried any of these beauty rituals yet?

If not, you can purchase NSPA products from ASDA! Very convenient, Iknow!

Fashion That Sticks!

Day 1

After 5 Days of wearing the nail stickers!

Kiss Nail Wraps* www.kissusa.com

"FASHION THAT STICKS"

When I received these little nail wraps I actually didn’t expect them to look as good on as they did. I'm usually a plain nail varnish kind of girl; I have to have my toes and hands matching with a coloured nail varnish. So for me, this was a little out of my comfort zone at first but I am so glad I tried them out!! I have  never had so many people notice my nails than when I had these on, it was quite strange how many people asked to see my nails, even boys were noticing them; it was so unusual. I had such positive feedback whilst I was wearing the Kiss nail wraps, when people found out they were just easy stick on nails they were amazed :) the pretty stickers are very easy to apply too.

 How to apply:

Step 1: Remove any nail varnish from your nail. File and shape your nails to your desired shape (I like to square mine)

Step 2: Select the sticker that suits your nail size, peel off and place near to the cuticle of the nail and smooth out from the centre

Step 3: Fold the sticker over where your nail ends

Step 4: Using the file included file the edge of your nail until the excess of the sticker comes away. The nail file includes a blue side for nail stickers with gems and a pink side for all other designs.

The application process really is that simple! I found that once I took the stickers off of my nails they felt really smooth like they had been refreshed from me wearing nail varnish every day. The stickers definitely benefitted my nails. Kiss nail wraps are said to last up to 10 days, I wore mine for five days before I opted for a bright pink colour. They were still in pretty good condition after the five days; I’ve included a picture above so you can see for yourself. These pretty stick on nails come in a range of designs to suit different styles. I was so happy with the ones I was sent as they weren’t anything to crazy and went with every outfit I wore. If you are unsure about using these at first I would definitely recommend just getting these in a black pattern, simple but noticeable :)
