This Blog is Dusty...

Wow i can't believe how long it's been since i last posted on here. I feel like i just never have anything to blog about that's beauty related!! I'm definitely going to start doing mini reviews that i don't feel like making videos about to tie you guys over until the next time i can make a video.



Today's little review is going to be on the Anastasia Beauty Express for Brows and Eyes. DISCLAIMER: I WAS NOT COMPENSATED IN ANY WAY TO DO THIS REVIEW. Lately, i've really been into grooming and filling in my my eyebrows because they really do frame the face and make my face look ten times better when they're groomed. I decided to get this kit after seeing MakeupbyTiffanyD on youtube rave about it. I got mine from Sephora.com. It comes with 5 eyebrow stencils that can really help you decide what shape looks the most natural on you. It also comes with brow wax, 2 shades of brow powders, and a highlighting eyeshadow as well as a skin tone one. It comes with an eyebrow brush that i simply love to use to apply both the wax and the brow powder. I got the kit in the shade "Blonde" because i could tell that the "Brunette" kit was going to be way to dark on me.

Pros:
~This is a great kit for beginners
~the lighter brow powder is the perfect shade for my brows!!
~the wax is a really nice texture and helps to set your brows
~the stencils really are helpful, although i find that i don't need to use them
~I really like the highlighting and skin tone eyeshadows, they have a nice texture
to them
~it's really quick and easy for me to fill in my brows in the morning when i put on my makeup
~this kit really helps make your brows look polished

Cons:
~while the wax sets my brows nicely, i find that it wears off rather quickly throughout the day
~I'm also concerned that the wax will dry out quickly since it's not in it's own little container
~the stencils are helpful, but some people may not be able to find the perfect one for them

That's it for my little review! leave comments and let me know what else you would like me to post about. ALSO I recently launched a new blog, go check it out!!! http://rachelshappinessproject.blogspot.com/
