Mini of Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil  I have watched Lisa Potter Dixon’s Youtube Channel tutorials and have love the way she has used the product to define her eyebrows.  Having a gap at the front of my right eyebrow (see picture below) I have been using Browvo to help grow them back.  I have used this to draw them in.  Once completed my brows look natural.  If I feel that I don’t want to go out of the house but want to look awake and polished, this compared to the Goof Proof pencil gives the most natural looking eyebrows followed by 24hr Brow Set.  When I want to leave the house, I will put on Gimme Brow over the top to fix them in place.  I will be repurchasing this.

Mini Bottle of Benefit Dew the Hoola I have been wearing UltraSun Family 30 on my face and have a slight tan, along with more freckles.  This means that my The Ordinary Serum Foundation is a little pale and the Dew the Hoola looked a little dark for me, so I mixed the two together and applied it using my damp BeautyBlender.  This warmed up my foundation and made it more the colour I am without hiding my freckles.  I must admit that I am a little afraid to use this on my skin before and after applying my foundation.  I will try it and update you soon.

Packaging and Tube of Dr Botanicals Pomegranate Noir Indulgence Cream I have been using this moisturiser on the days that I know that I will not be using my UltraSun Family 30 and as my Pamper Sunday moisturiser both in the morning and evening.   I quite like a masculine/herby smell, but I know some people might not like it.   The white cream/gel is easily absorbed into my skin leaving no residue.   I applied it using two fingers starting on my décolleté and working in an upward circular motion, remembering to apply it both to the front and back of my neck, then face and forehead.   It leaves a matte finish on the skin which would be perfect to use under make-up.

Packaging an tube of Dr Botanicals' Pomegranate Superfood Regenerating Sleeping Mask When I opened the tube, I expected to see a rich cream that was strawberry milkshake pink.   It is white and a light cream.   This is an overnight mask that must be applied to clean dry skin, I didn’t apply any other serums or moisturisers.   Once my skin had dried after cleansing, I applied a thin layer of the product starting at my décolleté in an upward circular motion.   Moving up my neck not forgetting to apply it to the back of my neck then my face avoiding my eye area.   In the hot weather that England has been having it was lovely to apply a cream that is cooling on the skin.   When I woke up the next morning there was no residue just youthful looking skin.   After cleansing I noticed that my skin around the jaw area looked less slack.   It is recommended to use 2 or 3 nights a week.   I would apply this product on consecutive nights if you have an event coming up.   If not, then leave

Bottle of The Ordinary "B" Oil I have used this for a week on the nights I do not use a Glycolic Acid Toner or a Retinol.  This is a light oil that absorbs quickly into the skin without any residue.  I applied this after using the Hydra Mist and Buffet before Natural Moisturising Factors.  When I woke up the next morning my skin felt and looked radiant and healthy.  I didn’t look like I had three hours sleep but I had had eight hours sleep.  To see the benefits, to me, I would use this when my skin needs a bit of help as the other products I use from the range are working brilliantly for my skin.  I will be repurchasing this oil.

Products received in box: Manna Kanarese Long-wear Powder in Trifecta, Lustea Beauty Keratin Smooth Conditioner, What’s in it for me . . .? Shower Scrub, Balance Me Congested Skin Serum, BeautyPro Eye Therapy Under Eye Mask   Manna Kanarese Long-wear Powder in Trifecta I am not convinced that a product for your eyebrows can be used for your eyes and cheeks as well.  Unfortunately, this product confirmed that.  The shade was a little light for my eyebrows, too dark for my cheeks but perfect to use as a shadow.  I won’t be repurchasing this. Lustea Beauty Keratin Smooth Conditioner This has a lovely tropical smell.   After shampooing and taking out as much of the water as I could I applied this to my hair and left it on for 20 minutes.   When rinsing it of I could smell the lovely tropical smell.   Once dried my hair felt soft and manageable.   I will be purchasing this again. What’s in it for me . . .? Shower Scrub I expect scrubs to

Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil and Packaging This pencil has a diamond shaped tip rather than a normal pencil tip.  The point of the diamond is great for creating strokes if you have a small area to fill in for example a missing tail or front of your eye brow like I have.  The fatter end is best for filling in large areas or going over the whole of the eyebrow.  I like this pencil for giving me a more natural looking brow and creating hairs where I have some missing.  I like to use this pencil when I don’t want to wear my basic face, just eyebrows, eyeliner and mascara.  This is my sitting in the house kind of face or popping to the shops.  Every person is different and will have an arsenal of products for different days or make-up.  This product is in my basic-basic make-up along with Benefit Badgal Bang and Benefit Badgal Waterproof eyeliner which means I will be repurchasing it.

Bottle of Burt's Bees Gentle Foaming Cleanser I have only been using this for a week, so I will update you once I have used it for a month.  This has a strong honey smell which seems to linger for awhile after using it.  I applied the foam to a dry face and removed it with a damp cloth. I must admit that after the first use, my skin felt tight, it didn’t last long.  After a few uses the tightness didn’t happen, which to me means my skin likes the cleanser.  I haven’t tried to remove my make-up as this to me is a morning or second cleanse type of product.

Bottle of Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water I had received a sample of this in a Beauty Box subscription delivery and used it on a CBA (Can’t Be Arsed) day.  I was so impressed with how my skin felt and looked after I used it, I bought the larger size for sensitive skin and use it most days if I feel like washing my face is a chore.  Yes, I know I should be cleansing my face properly with a cleanser and cloth, but I still have days where simple tasks are too much for me.  This cleans my skin, removes Benefit Badgal Bang and They’re Real Push Up liner without too much hassle.  My skin doesn’t feel tight or sore and in this hot weather we are experiencing in the UK at the moment, it is lovely to have put it in the fridge and use cold when taking off my make-up at night.  My hubby uses it too and has found his oily skin isn’t as oily as it would be in this weather.  So, an oily person can use a sensitive skin one without having the dreaded spots appear.  I will admit that
