GOSH Long Lasting Brow Pen in 004 Wheat: review, swatches and FOTD

Hey ladies,

Hope you're well :-)

So let's talk eyebrows! I fill mine in pretty much every day, whether it's with a brow pencil, pen or powder eyeshadow. I think it makes a big difference when they're filled in as they frame your face. Of course, I've made some eyebrow faux-pas in the past - mainly filling them in too dark!

I'm still on the hunt for my Holy Grail eyebrow product and recently I've been using GOSH's Long Lasting Brow Pen in Wheat, as recommended by Holly (Yummy Mummy's Beauty Blog).

GOSH Long Lasting Brow Pen in 004 Wheat

MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Dirty Blonde

As you can see, it has more of grey undertone to it than MAC Lingering - which is pretty much my go-to brow shade! It also makes MAC Dirty Blonde pencil look really orange, which it isn't.

Eyebrows before and after applying Gosh Brow Pen in Wheat:

I liked the effect of the pen, I think it looked really natural and the colour was a pretty good match. Applying it was a little odd as it's not what I'm used to but it did fill in every last stroke.

The colour did last on my brows all day but randomly, and I've not read this before, the shade turned a little green as the day went on! A couple of people spotted it to me which was slightly embarrassing...

Here's how it looked with the rest of my make-up...

FOTD featuring GOSH Long Lasting Brow Pen in Wheat:

FACE: MAC Fix+ to prime, YSL Touche Eclat #1, MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW15, MAC Pro Longwear Foundation in NC15 (applied with ELF Studio Stippling Brush), Benefit Hoola Bronzer (applied with ELF Studio Complexion Brush), MAC Fix+ to set.

You can probably see the green-ish tint to my eyebrows in the above pic, random huh?!

It's definitely worth trying if you're still on the hunt for your holy grail, natural-looking brow product and want something quick and easy - but let me know if yours goes a little green too!

What's your go-to brow product?

Love,

I Found A Jumpsuit For Short People! Lo And Behold The New Look Petite Spaghetti Strap One-Piece

Hi lovelies,

I hope you're all really well.

I don't know about you, but being petite (5ft1), I really struggle to find jumpsuits that are the right length for my short legs! 

The frustrating thing, as well, is that I'm not your typical 'petite' shape - I have boobs, hips and a bum - so that makes it doubly hard to find well-fitting one-pieces.

I finally found one that fitted the bill from New Look recently and I couldn't wait to wear it - it's nothing flashy but I was just pleased to find one that fitted OK!

The good points?

• Well, it's the right length for starters! 
• Plus, the zip actually does up at the back so that's another positive.
• Price! You can't complain really for less than 20 quid.

The bad stuff?

• The straps are like bra straps - I guess you're not supposed to wear a bra, but I can't do that - so they're quite fiddly, and they also dig into my shoulders a bit.
• The material creases quite easily which is a bit annoying.

So overall, not a bad find - but far from perfect!

Petite ladies, where do you get your clothes from?

Love,

Sophia
