Supermodel Brows with Charlotte Tilbury

If there is one person who can really appreciate the importance of brow products, not only for their ability to totally enhance a look but for the mere existence of them, it has to be me. Growing up with light hair meant that I had the lightest of light eyebrows! I mean, I have the hairs, but since they were so light they never showed up in photos, and just looked ridiculously undefined. Was so not a cute look! Once I realized how much a sculpted eyebrow could do for my face I started to get them tinted allllll the time. Well, that became expensive real fast! Eyebrow grooming has since become necessary for me and brow products are a now a serious staple in my makeup bag.

When Charlotte Tilbury launched her Supermodel Brow Lift Kit, I jumped for joy. Already obsessed with the glamorous brand, I was eager to get my #BROWFORMATION on with this kit! As Charlotte says,

"Darlings, no make-up look is complete without flawless eyebrows - they are the pillar of the face!"

I totally agree with this statement! They can totally amplify any look. I love the natural look of brushed up brows and adding a bit of colour to the brows and Charlotte's products are absolutely fabulous for this.

Here are the Supermodel Brow Lift Kit products I use by Charlotte Tilbury for fuller, defined, and beautifully shaped brows: 


1. The 3-in-1 Brow Lift eyebrow pencil. You start by shaping the brows with the brush, then fill in using this triangular shaped cream eyebrow pencil to define for a fuller look. I love the shape of the pencil! It's perfect to start at the bottom of the brow and work your way outwards to really fill in the patchy parts. The applicator also opens to reveal a secret highlighter which you can apply under or over the arch. I love adding the shimmer effect and that it adds definition while filling.

2. Legendary Brows eyebrow gel. Coats, colours and locks hairs in place. Always brush up to get that natural, supermodelesque fierce look! It contains Magic Elasticizing Wax and vitamin E to really lift the hairs and keep them looking natural, which I love.  I love that they have the clear gel, and also tinted gel. If you need to pick one item I'd go with this because it tints and holds in place, and is super precise. Great for an all in one product!

3. Full Fat Lashes mascara. This may not be a brow product, but having some defined lashes just elevates the look completely. This mascara is a powerhouse. It curls, separates, all while adding length, volume and serious glam.

4. The Retoucher Concealer. I am obsessed with this twist up concealer brush! It's so creamy and glides on so perfectly. I use it under the eyes to brighten and around the sides of my nose to cover redness. It covers lines, spots and under-eye bags so flawlessly! There are 10 shades to choose from and for me to brighten, I went with FAIR 2.

If you are buying the whole kit, it also includes the Life Changing Lashes Eyelash Curler. I have not tried it out, but it's rose gold in colour and looks fab!

Floral Pink for Easter

Peach Floral Romper Necessary Clothing / Satin Pink Midi Skirt Topshop / DIY woven straw basket bag / Le Chateau Tie Up Ghillie Sandal - Pastels & Pastries Spring Easter Style

I always have looked forward to celebrating Easter. Not only for the baking, the pastel colours, or Easter egg hunts but for the new fresh feeling of spring. There is a certain buzz in the air when the sun shines for longer, the grass begins to grow and the temperatures get warmer. I just love the coming of spring! 

When I was small I always looked forward to family gatherings and pulling out my prettiest floral dresses. Now that I'm older, not much has changed! I still look forward to countless Easter gatherings with family, indulging in good food and afternoon mimosas, and of course a pretty dress. This outfit combination speaks to all my Easter memories-- something floral, pink, satin material and a bit past the knee. Once again leave it to me to fool you all! I'm actually wearing a romper under my skirt. This is seriously becoming my signature move. Why not utilize what you have in your closet and max out the possibilities?! 

These two pieces are probably two of my most loved items of clothing. The romper I've had for a few years now and it's proven timeless again and again. I love the bell selves and the silky feeling of the fabric. The skirt is also a stunning shade of pink and the satin fabric leaves me feeling so glam.  I paired the outfit with my DIY basket clutch and a pair of tie-up sandals to embrace last weekend's gorgeous weather. I can't wait to re-wear this ensemble on Easter weekend! It's definitely going to take me back to my childhood Easter egg hunting memories of frolicking in the tall grass with a multi coloured basket in hand in search of butterfly nets and chocolate eggs! 

Do you have any special Easter/holiday memories that trigger outfit replications?! Also, what are your plans for the holiday? Let me know!

Charlotte Tilbury's Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask Review

Charlotte Tilbury's Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask Review| Pastels & Pastries

Charlotte Tilbury's Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask has to be one of the most innovative wonders in the beauty world that I've seen in a while! Guys-- it's dry! No cold, wet paper slipping down your face, and no residue left behind. And can we also just say YAY for ear loops?! I think all masks need to incorporate ear loops! You can actually get stuff done while wearing the mask, and while sometimes I may be masking one out in the bath, other times I need to multi-task!

If you saw on Instagram stories I had recently tried Charlotte's Dry Sheet Face Mask. You're probably wondering how it works since it doesn't feel like you're wearing anything at all. Well, it uses a biomimetic vector delivery system which releases the skin mimicking ingredients over time. All you do is unfold the mask, apply to face and massage into the skin for a few minutes. You leave it on for 15 minutes, and ready for the best part?! You can use it 3 times! I was super excited about this and it makes the investment totally worthwhile.

I'm not going to lie, I usually find sheet masks to be uncomfortable and I don't really notice any results. I just end up feeling sticky and wash my face afterwards. I was beyond impressed with the results of this mask. Not only did my face feel incredibly soft and smooth, it looked so hydrated and bright. There is a reason why it's called "magic"! If you looking for instant amazing results you need the mask. So perfect to use to get gorgeous, glowing skin before a big night or outing!

Side note--I recently treated myself to Charlotte's Magic Cream, and have not looked back since. Trust me when I say this is the day cream of your dreams. Anti-aging, SPF 15, contains hyaluronic acid (read up on my thoughts on Hyaluronic acid here!) and rosehip oil and it's paraben-free. Pair it with the mask for the ultimate beauty experience! 

So why do you need the mask? Here's why:

*It's dry-- no stickiness, no bacteria harboring!
*Can use up to 3 times -- totally worth it!
*Actual results-- skin is hydrated, brighter, smoother, wrinkles and lines reduces and face looks visibly lifted!
