The Benifit: Gimme Brow Dupe

As a MUA (Makeup Academy) addict, I browse their website on a regular basis, to see if they have any products that haven't yet been introduced to Superdrug, and when I do find those new products, I just play the waiting game for them to be finally on sell in Superdrug!!

So after much time of waiting, Superdrug has finally introduced a new product to their brow range. I came across a Benefit: Gimme Brow dupe which is perfect for makeup buyers on a budget.....I mean it's only two quid, so you can hardly go wrong with that, can you??

 

So, as you can see from the image above, MUA's Brow Define: Tinted Brow Mascara, is a little tube of........brow mascara of course and is a perfect travel sized product to go on holiday with or even if you're going out with friends, you can quickly pop into your makeup bag.

The best thing about this affordable brow product, is that the wand does not pick up too much product, which means that you can achieve the most natural brows ever. However, in my case, I am growing out my brows, so I do still use MUA's brow pencil to define the tail of my brows and then set my brows with MUA's Brow Define: Tinted Brow Mascara, to achieve a natural look.

 

It's as easy and natural as that!

 

If you are interested purchasing MUA's Brow Define: Tinted Brow Mascara, they come in two shades: Brown (for those with light/fair skin) and Dark Brown (for darker skin, like moi)!

 

Please leave any comments below of any Benefit: Gimme Brow dupes which you have found to give a lovely brow.

Affordable Combination Skin Products I Swear By

Do you happen to become a victim of an oily T-zone and dry cheeks.....that is, do you have combination skin. Combination skin victims, your not alone in this one. I'm with you!

Ever since discovering I was a combination skin victim, I have tried as many products possible to maintain the fry pan face I have! But now the products I totally swear by are the Boot Essentials range.

There are three things which are good about buying these products. Number one, you can always buy these facial products as part of a 3 for 2 deal, which means more advantage points (so that kinda puts Superdrug at shame)! Number two, if you have sensitive skin, the cucumber or non-fragranced scents won't do your skin any harm. Finally, number three. You gotta love the price. I mean

£1.50 for each or you could just go with the flow of the 3 for 2 deal and pick up a few more products you are yet to try out. So ma dears, you can't go wrong with a great bargain! Ok, so let's get into the nitty gritty of it all then!! 

To begin (starting from first left product), I would remove my eye makeup with the eye makeup remover gel solution and just squirt a pea size onto a circular cotton pad. Once all my eye makeup is off, I then go in with my cleanser and squirt a generous amount on the tips of my finger and then dot around my face. Then it's massage time! While I massage the cleanser into my face, I tend to notice that all my face makeup is melting off, which is a good sign (because that means less work is needed to remove my makeup when using the facial wash). Once all my face makeup has melted off, I give my face a rinse with some warm water and pat my face with a towel, then go in with a pea size of facial wash to wash the remaining makeup off and just pat around my eyes with the same towel. So that was the washing side of things. Let's hop into my daily skin care products! After, I would get another cotton pad to tone my face, to remove any excess oils and makeup (at that point my skin feels fricking refreshed......let's just take a moment)! Then to bring back some moisture to my face, I then use a pea size of moisturizing cream, and work that into my skin as evenly as possible. Then lastly (phew), I take a micro pea size of eye gel and just pat that under my eyes and around my brow bone, just to prevent any puffiness (but it's optional if you are lucky enough to get a good night's sleep)! And this guys, is what I do morning and night! Leave your suggestions of affordable skin care products that you swear by and would recommend. Thanks for reading,   Dominique X
