Billion Dollar Brows 60 Seconds to Beautiful Brows - £24 at boots for the powder and brush

This little set is a lifesaver, especially for those days where you don't have much time to spend on your brows. 

A little goes a long way, and I have a feeling this product will last me a very long time. The powder can be purchased on it's own for £18 and comes in Taupe, Light brown and Blonde. I tried Taupe and I have to say that colour looked really natural for me.

The brush also retails on it's own at boots for £17, meaning buying the set is totally worth it.

The brush was really useful for evenly distributing the powder, and the spoolie was perfect for blending the product in for a more natural finish, This is a great kit for a quick tidy up and it makes light work of adding depth.

Above is all of the fantastic brow boosting products that I received to try. Now that I have road tested these I can give you my honest opinions.With the exception of the items from the 60 seconds set, the other items come together to make the Billion Dollar Brows Best Sellers Kit which retails at boots for £49.50.

This is a really comprehensive kit which means super precise eyebrows are totally achievable at home, no salons and no tattoos required. The first time I used the kit it took be approx 30 minutes to get 2 perfect brows, I have since had a fair bit of practice and have got my time down to 10 minutes!

Billion Dollar Brows Brow Duo Pencil - £20 from feelunique.com

This is a fabulous 2 in one product, on one side you have a concealer and the other side has a highlighter. I draw around my eyebrows with the concealer and use the below smudging brush to distribute evenly. I then go back under the brow with the highlighter and blend this out using the below brush, this helps to create a really distinct and neat brow look. These are both really easy to blend and look natural once applied.

Smudge Brush - I haven't seen this on sale in boots or on feelunique.com

This is a really soft brush which made blending a treat. 

Billion Dollar Brows Clear Gel - £17 from boots or feelunique.com

This completes the set and a sweep of this formula is all you need to put those brows in their place. Its super strong and lasts throughout the day. On the days were I am feeling lazy I skip on all of the above and just use this, and to be fair it works pretty good on it's own too!

These products may seem expensive, but I believe that each one of them will last a considerable amount of time. I have purchased cheaper brow kits before, however they have been a waste of money so far as they haven't been that easy to work with so I haven't got much use out of them.

           

Here are the finished brows, sorry I put my hat on and then thought to take a picture of the finished look. By that time I had committed to the hat hair that would follow.. I'm sure you understand.

Eyeko - Review

Last year I tried the Eyeko Skinny liquid eyeliner as it was free with a magazine. A bit later on in the year I bought another along with the Brow Gel and the Skinny Mini Brush (all 3 were sold together on ASOS).

 

The time has come for me to share my thoughts on these.

 

 

Skinny Liquid Eyeliner - £12

The one I had initially came free with a magazine, I didn't use it very much but when I did I thought it was a good product. It draws on really well just like a felt tip. However it dried out pretty quickly and I put this down to me not really using it and the product getting old. Anyway when I bought the new one I found the same thing happened. It applies really well at first but that is so temporary and like a cheap felt tip it doesn't work after a short while. I think it also depends on whether you have a powdery eye shadow on. It's really annoying because it applies great to your 1st eye and by the time you get to your 2nd eye it's dried out and not applying as well. I don't think I will buy this again, I have seen a few reviews saying similar things, one of which said to try the 'Alexa' version so I may give this a go - Alexa Eyeko

 

Skinny Brush Mascara - £15

I have just recently tried the mascara and I was quite impressed. They made my lashes look extended and very full. The only criticism is that I think that over doing this mascara may result in serious clumping. It may be because there are quite large gaps between the teeth in the brush and I am used to fairly thick bristly brushes.

 

Brow Gel - £18

This comes in the same bottle as the mascara and unfortunately I have gotten mixed up between the 2 a few times, resulting in 1 hilarious black eyebrow.

This is not too dark which is good however it doesn't really offer any hold. I use a cheap clear mascara on my eyebrows and I actually find that it works better than this.

Out of the 3 products I have to say overall I wasn't that impressed. The only product that I would potentially purchase again is the mascara, but there are so many mascaras out there so perhaps not..
