power brows

many people underestimate the power of the eyebrow. i am useless at keeping on top of doing my eyebrows, plucking the straglly ones now and again,but im too scared to get them done professionally. i am not one to advise on this subject but i like a good brow and bit of length on them!

anyway, as i was getting ready to go out on saturday, a very good friend handed over to me what looked like a mascara brush. she told me to brush it onto my eyebrows and it would shape them and they would stay in that exact shape. and they did. i brushed the hairs upwards a bit to make them a bit fuller and they looked great!

sorry the pictures aren't very clear, i got them off google.

i just wanted to show you exactly what you are buying.

it's called a HD Brow Beater- part of the HD brow effect. it cost's 14.95 and worth every penny.

the brow beater is like a clear liquid, very easy to apply, non-sticky and holds the eyebrow shape.

if you don't want to go for the whole HD package (which is also such a good treatment for the eyebrows, as seen on a close family member who had them done for her wedding- they looked gorgeous), the brow beater is a definite investment.

be brow happy!x

winter fringing

and the wellies come out!

who says theyre only for festivals? the snows coming soon! maybe hunters were cooler last year, but to be honest they have always been around as a traditional, quality welly and can be worn all year round in england. i thought seeing as though the rain has come (soon to be snow), it was a good time to tell you about a cracking deal i found a couple of months ago. topshop sell hunter wellies for £85, the shorter ones for £65. if you live around or remotely near the oldham/saddleworth area, theres a great little shoe shop on uppermill high street called PAUSE-A-SECOND, that sells every type of hunter you can think of.

i got mine for £35, and went for the original black. although i bought the kids ones, me being a perfect size 5 shoe (uk), they fit perfectly and have the advantage of being about five inches below the knee, which stops any rubbing or blister on the knee, which i have heard the original long hunters tend to do. they aren't as short as the 'shorter' boots, i'd say they are about in between.

(i'd take a picture of mine- but these ones are so much cleaner)

also, with buying the childs size, you can get the childs wellie socks for just £10- adult size £15. an absolute need for the uk winter ahead of us.
