Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doi Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doing ok?
I’ve been thinking about what I’m going to do over this time period and how to get the most out of it.
Being the final 6 months of my PhD, I will have to start writing my thesis now instead of later but to break that time up with more fun things (not that science isn’t fun 🙄). I’m thinking baking, play the piano and experimenting with makeup! It doesn’t matter that no one is going to see my makeup or hear me play, I’m doing it for me but at the same time I’m not going to force myself to do to anything I don’t feel like or feel pressured to learn something new or start something big just because we have this time. 
I think it’s important to take a break and reset without anything or anyone sucking your energy. Only do things that you really want to and help you feel better now and for the future when this is over.
What are your plans for lockdown?
For me makeup is art. Your face is the canvas and For me makeup is art. Your face is the canvas and the fact you can take any colour/finish/texture and create something that completely reflects your personality and mood is amazing and yes maybe it also fuels my need to have so many pretty palettes!! The @jackieaina @anastasiabeverlyhills eyeshadow palette is incredible! The colours are soooooo pigmented but still really wearable. It’s like a work of art itself.

Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear th Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear them more often because 1. Jabbing them through the piercing that has been empty for months is no fun and games 😂 and 2. They just elevate your look to the next level!! Seriously, whether they’re long, studs, gold, sparkly, colourful, patterned, they make me feel so put together. 2020 is my year for accessorising!
Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for it! What I am here for is these natural Wispies eyelashes from @ardellbeauty. I do love false lashes but because I don’t have a lot of lid space, I find they always look heavy and unnatural on me so I give up and they get shoved in a drawer. That’s why I was dubious at first with these but the second I put them on, I fell in love. The natural style adds volume to my lashes without looking heavy and really do pass as being my own, even in person!! They’re easy to put on as the band is nice and flexible and stay put throughout the day. These are my lashes for sure! Have you tried Ardell lashes before?

NYX Tame & Frame brow pomade
September 28, 2016 Skin Care

Time to Tame and Frame

In case you didn’t know I am obsessed with eyebrows. I am constantly looking at other peoples perfectly tweezed brows and crying over my own. I am still growing them out after years of over-plucking, so I am always on the hunt for an eyebrow product that makes them look somewhat presentable while they go through their teenage rebellious phase.

I usually use a combination of pencils and gels but for the last couple of months I have been desperate to try an eyebrow pomade. A tinted wax product that claims to control and shape even the most unruly brows. Now, I have had my eye on the beauty hit Dipbrow pomade by Anastasia Beverly Hills, but at £15 I have been reluctant to try it, especially since in the UK you can only buy it online, and it is therefore difficult to get a proper colour match. That’s not to say I wouldn’t like it, it doesn’t have a serious beauty cult following for nothing!

After much deliberation, and research, it wasn’t until a big thumbs up from one of my favourite beauty instabloggers @beautywithwispa, that I hurriedly went out to purchase NYX Tame and Frame. A tinted, smudge-proof pomade that comes in 5 different shades. Mine is in espresso and at £5.50 this was the perfect first step into the world of brow pomades.

Using a simple angle makeup brush I applied the pomade in long strokes to outline my brow then small strokes to fill in the rest.

So here they are the before and after shots:

No foundation, no concealer, no eye makeup to distract, just the NYX Tame & Frame tinted brow pomade.

before and after eyebrow

I am thoroughly impressed by this product. It really smooths out any naughty hairs and fills in all the sparse areas. It glides on so easily and even makes my bare eye look polished and put together. It also stays on all day, but is easy to take off with a good eye makeup remover before bedtime.

I can’t believe I didn’t buy this product sooner, but now that I have I can’t imagine using anything else. It would be nice if it came with a little application brush in case you don’t own one, however at £5.50 I really can’t complain!

Get your brows in order,

B Lips
