Searching High and Low for the Perfect Liquid Eyebrow Pen

So there I was, at the library, supposed to be doing my dissertation on the Sexual Harassment of men (Yes, this is my dissertation topic, and Noooo, im not a sociology student, Im a Business Student,  . .but yh moving on) and I suddenly remebered I needed a new eyebrow pen,and read a blog review about liquid eyebrow pens and I thought I might as well try them out as they are supposed to be easier to use that a pencil and better still I don't need to look around for my sharpener every time by pencil gets blunt. But lordy these products are ridiculously hard to find! Despite a 2 hour on-line search, I only found two available in the UK

The first Eyebrow Liquid Eyebrow pen I found was by SUQQO's Liquid Pen R. (rrp £20) Suqqo decribes this eyebrow pen as 'Water and oil resistant' and that it can last a WHOLE day without smudging and also 'helps to define the eyebrows and enhance natural shape'. To be honest I was so set on buying this pen . . until I saw the 2 shade colours that this pen comes in  . .  . green and brown (¬_¬) . . . who the hell wears green on their eyebrows and excuse me but that brown looks fairly green too. *HEARTBREAK*.Now I could buy this pen in brown and pray that it comes out in a usable colour but let's face it . . I'm a student . . . and I don't want to waste what little money I have on a product that might not suit me The second eyebrow pen up for discussion tonight is Mac's Penultimate Eyebrow Marker. MAC promise that this pen-style maker will give 'well-defined,natural looking finish',  provides precision with its 'tapered tip' and it is fast drying so you don't have to fan your eyebrows before you can move on with the rest of your make-up. Now this product only comes in one colour - "Universal", which is a dark brown colour which is great as that is actually the colour I am searching for when it comes to my eyebrows (One shade lighter than your natural hair colour and all that jazz). Now out of the two, it is a little obvious that I am going to get MAC Eyebrow Marker and I will be putting up a mini review on this product very, very soon Kisses for now Epiphannie

Perfectly Tinted View . . . .

Summer is (finally) here signalling a change of my make-up regime and this year I've decided upgrade my regime and try  something new. Now normally I use a Maybelline's dream matte mousse in the summertime, because its so light and feels quite nice on my skin, unfortunately its not really the right shade for me and often makes me look quite monotone (if I can even use that word in this way), but it is a matte foundation so I guess its doing its job.

Keeping with my foundation theme of light-weight and light-coverage, I have decided to go with a tinted moisturiser this summer, which in my shade (I am Afro-British by the way, NW45) is quite difficult to find in the UK as it still doesn't full cater to its Afro-community in terms of cosmetology,despite this (major hindrance) I am going to do a quick quick quick wishlist of the tinted moisturisers I want to get this summer and I promise to do a review of them, once I get them

1) Elf Tinted Moisturiser in Espresso/Mocha (rrp £3.50)

I have heard mixed reviews about this product, but I can't fully rate this product until I've had the chance to review it myself, and at £3.50, even if I don't like it, I'm not exactly breaking the bank

2) Black-up Complexion Oil Free (rrp £24.50)

I just recently found out about Black up cosmetics, during a random search of the Debenhams' website, so I can't wait to try this product out lool I will probably do a FULL review of this product when (and if) I get this

3) Smash-box Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturiser in Dark (rrp £22.95)

This looks very light on-line so I need to go down to my nearest smash-box counter and see if the colour looks much nicer in person

4) Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturiser in Shade 6 (I think) (rrp £21)

 I absolutely love Clinique, and this product promises to offer a decent amount of coverage, so lets hope it lives up to its promise

5) Bobbi Brown SPF 15 Tinted Moisturiser in Deep Tint (rrp £27)

What can I say about Bobbi Brown, she definitely know something about Make-up but I don't normally buy her products as I find them high priced and as I'm only using this for a few months, I won't purchase this product unless it trumps the previous moisturisers

Kudos
