Just my stream of consciousness

For the longest time I have been eyeing brushes in Boots and Superdrug but, I have never taken the plunge and bought a make up brush for every step of my routine. This was probably due to how ridiculously expensive they are and cheaper brushes also seem a tad hit or miss, you may find the best softest brush ever, or a really crap one.

So, seeing most bloggers rave about the Zoeva brushes, I thought I would buy a whole set! Yes, it seems a tad crazy for the first time but they were very good value for money and they are so beautiful. This is the Rose Golden Complete Set Vol. 1, which comes with 15 different brushes, for all of your needs. It costs €130, which means each brush is approximately a little over £7.

Favourite Perfume | Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy! It might not be to everyones taste because it is quite a sweet scent, but I love it. It also comes in rollerball form (which is rare in the UK) so I can put it into my bag and it is extremely easy to travel with.

Favourite Lip Colour | Lip tints are a must in the Summer for me, I can't deal with worrying about whether my lipstick is half way down my face or not. YSL Volupté Tint in Oil #6 is my current go to colour, it is a pretty fuchsia pink, perfect for Summer!

Favourite Drink | Peach Iced tea.

Favourite Blush | I know Summer is when you can bring out the bright and shimmery blushes, but I am currently loving the Maybelline Face studio Blush in #40 Pink Amber. It is just a simple matte dusty pink blush, very natural and pretty!

Favourite Clothing | This shirt from Pull & Bear.

Favourite Movie | I love Kill Bill Vol. 1&2. So much.

Favourite TV Show | I am loving K-dramas right now, especially W. (ahem I love Lee Jong Suk)

Favourite Food | Fried rice. Probably not the most summery of foods but it is extremely versatile and easy to make for a lazy girl like me.

Necklaces are the perfect jewellery for everyone. Earrings are for people who have their ears pierced, bracelets and rings may be too loose or tight on some people, but necklaces are just right. I do prefer quite simple jewellery and these two necklaces are my current favourites!

Oh My Clumsy Heart - Don't be a prick cactus choker | This comes in: silver, gold and rose gold. I obviously got the rose gold one and its such a pretty colour! Its a small dainty necklace which you can wear as a choker or lower. The message is very cheeky and its one of my favourite necklaces.

Dixi | I have always loved hands and this is so beautiful. It sits in between your middle/lower chest, which is much lower than I prefer my necklaces but, it sits in the perfect spot if you're wearing a low v neck top. The hand is small and minimalistic and compliments most outfits as a subtle quirky piece.

I may be just a tad late to this peel off make up hype, but better late than never right? Anyway, today I will be talking about the Etude House Tint My Brows and my experience with it!

The Etude House Tint My Brows comes in 3 different shades - #1 Brown, #2 Light Brown and #3 Gray Brown, which is the shade I bought. The product has an extremely gooey texture and the brush applicator makes it quite hard to apply this product evenly and neatly. Fortunately if you do get it all over the place, it is quite easy to clean off as it doesn't stain too quickly. It has a distinct chemically sweet scent which may be a tad strong for people who dislike scented products.

The instructions tell you to keep this product on for at least two hours and if you want a bolder colour - to leave it on over night for 'stronger colouration'. I have tried both of these methods and personally I prefer leaving the product on for at least two hours because leaving it on over night...let me tell you, you definitely get 'stronger colouration', I looked absolutely ridiculous. However, the packaging instructs you not to use any product with 'detergency' or put pressure on your eyebrows within 24 hours of using this product, so you still have time to fix your eyebrows if they do go terribly wrong.

The colour changes over time. Initially it is a true gray brown, but as the days go by it does start to give off an orange tinge, which isn't too noticeable but just enough. This is apparently only a problem with the #3 shade? However, don't quote me on that.

To be honest I would use this again because I am extremely lazy and it gave me pretty good results. As long as you know how to control the 'colouration', it's a pretty decent product that is good value for money!
