Skin79 BB Cream Review.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a review for another BB cream and explained the eternal problems I  have finding one with a perfect fit to my pale skin. But I recently discovered a brand called Skin79, after testing it out I thought I'd let you know the results.

Pro's:

• Skin79 offers 8 different BB creams depending on your skin type.
• Smells pleasant despite the name.
• Offers shades that are very suitable for my pale skin.
• Really adapted to my skin tone, once it settles in.
• I only needed less than One pump of product to cover my entire face.
• It had a really good coverage, wasn't watery thin.
• It contained an SPF45 and protects against UV A and B rays, perfect for the Summer weather.

Cons:

• Be prepared to wait a while for your product to arrive or spend quite a lot on shipping. 
• It's so difficult to tell which BB cream to get, there are no swatches on the website or indication of colour on the bottle, i.e. Light, Medium, Dark, etc...
• Just after I applied the product, my skin looked very oily, although after it dried (around 20 mins) it looked amazing and wasn't oily at all. 
• There are a lot of imitations out there so be careful where you purchase from.

What do you think? Have you tried any Skin79 range?

Sleek Eyebrow Stylist Review.

I've been loving Sleek products lately, so it wasn't a surprise that I found myself browsing their products on my last trip to Boots, which is when I came across the Eyebrow Stylist. I have been using the Sleek MakeUp Brow Kit for a while now which I love, but I still just wanted a pencil that was easy to pop in my handbag or travel with.

The problem I have with most eyebrow pencils is that the product is too hard, it's difficult to apply and the colour match is terrible...way too light. This product is a velvety matte, has an almost waxy texture and comes in 3 shades. The tip is angled to make application really easy, you can use the flat edge to fit in brows and the point to define. Not only all of that, but on the other end you get a spoolie
brush to shape and blend the product: all this for £5.99, perfect!
