Benefit 'Gimme Brow' | Review

I wasn't sure if I was going to love this product. I personally love big and bold brows (usually using my Anastasia DipBrow Pomade).

However I can honestly say I really like this!

It gives my brows a natural look, not only by tinting and brushing the hairs into place but due to the tiny brush, it maximises and defines each hair making them thicker. 



 I got both the shades available (light/medium and medium/dark) as my brows are an in-between shade - plus I have blonde hair at the minute and brows which are too dark will make me look crazyyy. 

I tend to use the lighter one to begin with, then use the darker one to deepen them and define them a little more. The 'Volumizing Fiber Gel' clings to skin and hair naturally, to mimic the look of real brows. It's long wearing and water resistant, therefore, giving you amazing looking brows all day until you take it off - it is pretty impressive. This really is a miracle worker...





The only downside is the price at £17.50 for a tiny amount of product - 3g (whereas the 'They're Real' mascara has 8g for just £2 more!)


I picked mine up from John Lewis at £17.50 but you can get it from anywhere that sells Benefit.

Have you tried this wonder product yet?

Kevyn Aucoin 'The Sculpting Powder' | Review


So after months of lusting after this product... I FINALLY have my hands on it!!

I have the new packaging I'm not sure if you get the same amount of product in it or not but I'm pretty sure It's the same price.



Kevyn Aucoin 'The Sculpting Powder" in Medium is like an ashy bronzer which creates a nice shadow to your face perfect for when you want to create some definition. For me this is the perfect product to contour with! 


It's in a powder form so you can get the perfect amount of product on your brush (be careful though! it's extremely pigmented so you can easily over do it!) 

I tend to take some product off the back of my hand before I apply it to my skin. It blends out nicely and gives the perfect depth to my face. Being a matte powder it gives the perfect subtle shadow, resulting in a natural, soft sculpted cheek! 

It has absolutely no orange in it so would work on lighter skin tones too!! 

You can purchase it from Space.NK for £35 or Cult Beauty for £33 - I ordered it from Cult Beauty on Thursday and it got delivered on the Saturday (standard delivery)

Have you tried it out yet?

Tanya Burr Lip Glosses | Review and Swatches

When Tanya Burr announced that she was launching her own makeup line I knew I was going to be first in the queue! She was one of the first Beauty Gurus I subscribed to (after googling an Olivia Palermo look) and I have enjoyed watching her ever since! I don't know why it's taken me soo long to blog about them!

Her range at the minute focuses on lip glosses and nail polish (I haven't tried these out yet as due to my job I'm not allowed to wear any...boo).

When deciding between which colours to try I was stuck between 'Afternoon Tea' and 'Aurora' - instead of picking one I decided to try them both out!





How cute is the packaging??


I am definitely pleased that I went for both colours! 

Aurora is a (pink) shimmer finish while Afternoon tea is a (peachy) créme finish. Both look absolutely stunning on (and I now want them all!!).

The lip glosses are non-sticky and have the right amount of colour in them - not over pigmented but not too sheer, therefore allowing you to wear colours underneath creating your own unique look. They even have moisturising ingredients to hydrate your lips! 

The lip brush applicator makes it easy to apply to your lips - giving a beautiful glossy, long lasting shine.

The lip glosses are £6.99 and can be picked up from Feel Unique and Superdrug (I hear there are few other places that will be picking them up soon too!)

Have I tempted you to try them out if you haven't already??

Get Ready With Me | Kate Emily


Hi my lovelies, 



I just thought you might want to check out my new YouTube video:

For the past couple of weeks I have been opting for the same makeup look! Partly due to my new favourite eyeshadow quad - Charlotte Tilbury 'The Dolce Vita' (A review will be on it's way as I ADORE this quad!!) This look makes me feel really confident (not something I would normally say) as the attention is really on the eyes. I haven't yet used the shimmery golden shade in the quad - but if requested I could do a tutorial of it for going out let me know in the comments below or on my YouTube channel if you would like to see that!






I really hope you enjoy watching this 'Get Ready With Me' video. I shall be posting more videos very soon so keep an eye out!
