Holy Brow lily lolo review

I've spoken before about how it's hard to find things to define my eyebrows, without looking like a child has drawn them on with a, brown or orange crayon.

I know it's kind of fashionable at the moment to have a kind of wet look to the brows, but I much prefer the natural Cara delivigne look.

Having stumbled across a lily lolo bronzed shimmer brick, and loved it. When I got an email about the brow kit and saw the shade, light, I had to try it!

So the brow powder is on the right, and then the wax to set it is on the left. It's a real diddy little kit, but there seems to be a lot of product in there. I tend to apply the wax with my finger over the top, once I have filled them in 

I also opted for what they recommend to apply it, which has an angled brush on one end and a spooley on the other for taming your brows.


At first I really wasn't sure about the angled brush, as it's not soft at all. I really didn't like it at first, and tried a different brush, and then went back to it.

I quickly realised that the harder brush is so much better for picking up the powder, and filling in your brows, Duh !

This is a great shade for me and I'm really impressed with this product I can see me going back to it again and again

Have a look at their website, they're a British company with some great high quality products in my opinion :D

Monthly Favourites April

Well last Month I didn't really  have much to show you bouquet wise,

But this month I do Huzzah.

1. First up are design's for a renewal of vows ceremony where the Bride and Groom had already married in their native China..
It's always nice when someone see's something they like from your website and asks you to recreate it for them.
Astilbe and Deep water Pink Roses make a contrasting yet subtle impression.







2. Was definately a Fav
Her Bouquet was a simple tied posy with trailing foliage and Pussy willow.

The Brides Mother had grown up in Japan, so for her table arrangements she wanted to evoke the Ikebana simplicity, but still keeping an English country garden feel.

And on her tables she had little Origami cranes as Place settings. Which I personally loved.

3. Was for an Opening of a new restaurant called 'The Dumpling Tree' in Cambridge, Gold and Yellow are considered Good Luck in Chinese culture.
Love the use of Photinia in the foliage and the big Bloom Chrysanths.







Beauty wise there are a few new products I've just recieved and want to get a little more use out of them before I add them to my fav's or do any reviews.
