SS16 trends for eyebrows and my brow kit
Over recent years eyebrows have become quite the beauty statement. From bleached out “barely there” brows to the big and bold Cara Delevigne approach to face adornment it’s hard to ignore that these days not only do your clothes need to be on trend, your eyebrows also need to be on point.
I was recently sent the Tweezerman SS16 brow style statement and was delighted to read that lazy girl grooming is in. I’ll be the first to admit I’m quite low maintenance when it comes to my eyebrows- a few simple products and a quick tweeze of the stray hairs does me fine.
I’m all for keeping things natural so finding out that I’m accidentally on trend prompted me to share my top products for my every day grooming. If anyone has anything they think I should be adding to my “brow army” do feel free to let me know in the comments…
Tweezers c/o Tweezerman | MUA eye brow kit | Real Techniques eyeliner brush | L.A.B.2 grooming brush | Natural Collection clear mascara
Maybe I’ll become a bit more high maintenance but I doubt it- there’s a trend floating around for bleached out or pastel brows but it’s not one I can see myself embracing, how about you?

Winter Working
Jumper: Primark | Skirt c/o Long Tall Sally (in the sale) | Boots: Miista
Despite never getting on with pencil skirts I’ve also found myself reaching for this Long Tall Sally number over and over since it arrived. It’s made of super stretchy jersey that is thick enough to be both warm and flattering- not a small achievement by any stretch of the imagination. Combined, the jumper and skirt have made up my staple work uniform for the colder days. I’ve stretched the truth slightly by putting on these Miista boots for the photos, it has been far too long since they had an outing and given that they are my favourite boots of all time I figured it was about time they saw the light of day.
So there we have it, my first post-move outfit post. Hopefully I’ll have some more coming up in the not too distant future. Weather permitting Ben and I are off out to explore our new local area to scout out some locations…watch this space!
What do you wear for work in the winter?
Gentle Powder Love from treaclemoon
For this reason I was incredibly excited to find out about the launch of Gentle Powder Love from treaclemoon* (£2.99/500ml from Tesco). Already a favourite shower product brand of mine I just knew that this new arrival was going to be heavenly…
“…The scent led her to a gentle place…a dreamy carousel ride on painted marshmallows and rainbow coloured elephants. Life was cute…”
Sometimes being transported back to your childhood happy place is just the ticket, if you too are a fan of the baby powder scent then this product is an absolute must buy next time you’re picking up your bread and milk (and milkybar buttons, ssh!) in Tesco.
