Packaging and Mini Universal Taupe Brow Power Who for: Anyone who wants perfect brows First impressions: Tip is a little wider than I am used to After one week: Great to fill in gaps within the brow  After one month: Ideal for quickness and defining brows Stockists: IT Cosmetics, Boots, Selfridges, QVC UK This product was received as a sample from an order I placed with IT Cosmetics UK website.  I like the fact that it has a spoolie on one end unlike Benefit’s Precisely My Brow mini pencil.  The shade I am using is Universal Taupe which should work for any shade of brow hair.  Like Precisely My Brow you can create individual hairs if you want a more natural looking brow.  You can also ‘scribble’ to fill in large areas and draw lines above and below your brow if you want a stronger looking brow.  I have used the pencil both ways when creating my brows depending on how I feel that day.  I always do my brows after my foundation...

As I have mentioned in a recent update I have been diagnosed with Dry Eye and MGD, if you see 👀 this means that the product is eye friendly 👓 this means that the product isn't eye friendly

👓 Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner - Intense Labradorite Who for: Anyone who wants a liquid liner that lasts and can create different line widths First impressions: Tip seems rather wet After one week: Lovely colour After one month: Great for special occasions  Stockists: Cult Beauty, Lookfantastic, HQHair, House of Fraser, Stila, Boots I had heard a lot about Stila and wanted to try something of their’s so this was my first purchase.  I wanted to use something other than black as I am always using black eye liner.  This has a dark grey shimmer to it and as a woman of a certain age feels that wearing shimmer and glitter should be subtle.  This is easy to apply and you can create either a thin line or a thick liner.  The shape of the tip helps create a great flick if that’s how you want to wear your eyeliner.  If like me you suffer from Dry Eye and/or MGD unfortunately this product contains some of the nasties that yo...

👀 Mini IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara Who for: Anyone who wants volume to their lashes First impressions: Scary brush After one week: Love the volume After one month: Great doesn’t drop or flake Stockists: Selfridges, QVCUK, Boots I had placed an order with IT Cosmetics UK website and this was part of the samples they had sent me.  It is a lovely mascara that covers all my lashes including he tiny ones.  I have one eyelash on my right eye that doesn’t like to behave itself other mascaras keep it in line. This mascara didn’t. It is a fantastic mascara and I would recommend it for anyone who has Dry Eye and MGD as it doesn’t contain any of the nasties that can cause irritation.  I have found one coat of the mascara is enough to an impact.

Packaging and tube of IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Illuminating Who for: Anyone who wants to hide their dark circles and any imperfections First impressions: A small amount isn’t going to cover under my eyes After one week: The best concealer I have used After one month: Can’t wait to try the other formulations Stockists : IT Cosmetics, Selfridges, Boots, QVC UK This was purchased from the website Wish and hopefully it is the correct product.   I have tried it with the matching CC+ Cream and its great.   I haven’t tried it with the other formulations of the CC+ Cream I have.   I promised to update this post as soon as I have.   Having watched the shows on QVC UK I agree that a small amount will cover the areas under both eyes.   It lasts all day doesn’t need retouching like some do.   It even covers redness of spots.   This is the best concealer I have used in years.   It doesn’t sit in the fine lines I have around my...
