MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencil


I dont know about you but it feels like every make-up company is bring out a new jumbo lip pencil, thats not a bad thing because some of them are really good and I use them all the time but we now have a newbie to the group of jumbo lip pencils, MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencil. 

This jumbo lip pencil is a twist up like any other jumbo lip pencil. On MAC's website they say that you will get the colour and shine of a gloss and the precision of a lip pencil. I agree with them about the colour and shine of a gloss but Im not so sure about the precision of a lip pencil claim because the tip is rounded not pointed and thats fine for the light shades but if you have a darker shade it might be a bit harder to apply it to your lips and keeping it tidy.

This jumbo lip pencil is comfortable to wear, its thick but not sticky and its moisturising too. I really do feel like after wearing this my lips feel more hydrated. I have also not had any problems with this feathering and thats always good if you are wearing a darker colour.

The colour that I bought it coloured Kittenish, Im not a big fan of lighter lip colours or even nude lip colours I just dont think they look good on me but this colour is so nice. To me its an everyday colour and its so easy to wear, the colour is pink with just a wee hint of berry.


If your thinking about treating yourself to a new MAC lipstick then I think you should check these out first. They cost £17.50 so they do cost a wee bit more then the lipsticks but I think they are really worth checking out. 

Have you tried MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencil? What do you think of them? If not are you planning on buying one? Please comment below to let me know.

Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb Night Cream


Now you might have guessed Im a bit of a fan when is comes to Garnier, their products for dry skin are so good on my skin and normally do as they say on the box so when I saw this new night cream from them I knew I had to have it.

First off I love the name, Moisture Bomb. You can tell this is not for oily skin plus the wee bit at the bottom saying its for dehydrated skin might also give that way but its still a good name.

The box it comes in is really nice, shiny silver going in to a shiny light blue. The tub the cream is in is a light blue tub with a white lid, its the same sort of tub most of Garnier face creams come in and the same 50ml size. It may come in the same sort of tub as other face creams from Garnier but I do like it, its simple but nice.


When you put the cream on it melts and feels almost like water, which dues feel a bit weird but then it turns to more of a greasy feeling cream. This is not to bad point though but it is a bit odd.

On the box it says its a super recharging antioxidant gel cream, its more than a moisturiser. Moisture Bomb recharges up to 10 layer of skin with hydration and replumps the look of fine lines. 

I really cant say if it hydrated up to 10 layers for my skin but I really did see a difference in my skin, it looked healthier and more plump. My skin did look more hydrated too but really cant say if it was up to 10 layers, its a bit hard to count the layers of skin on my face.

This review would not be complete with out me telling you about the beautiful smell this cream has, its fresh and light not like an over powering perfume smell. I have never been very good at telling people how something smells but this cream dues smell really good.


I think Garnier has done a fab job with this cream, it dues what it says on the box with no lies. It dues not disappoint. This cream is dermatologically tested so its suitable for sensitive skin too.

Have you tried this cream yet? What do you think of it? Leave a comment below to let me know.

NYX Control Freak


I'm not one for painting on my eye brows, I have blonde hair well brown but I colour it blonde and I have fine very light eye brows and pale skin so whenever I have in the past painted my eye brows on it just looks wrong. However I do tint them and sometimes use coloured eye brow powder or something like that on them but only very lightly. I do also like to use a clear gel on them just to keep them in place and I do this every day.

If you live in the UK then you will know you cant get NYX here but Boots online now has it and I did order a few bits to see what NYX is like and I did a NYX Haul on my YouTube channel so please feel free to go and watch it to see everything that I got.


Well you have probably already worked it out but this is called Control Freak and its a clear eye brow gel. I first heard about this from Emilynoel83 AKA Beauty Broadcast and she seemed to really like it so I have been wanting to try it for sometime. 

This cost £5.50 from Boots which I did not think was to pricey and the brush looks like an old school mascara brush. The gel dues have smell to it but its on your eye brows so obviously you dont smell it once you have put it on. 

When you remove the brush from the tube to use it the brush has just the right amount of gel on it. Not to much so you dont feel like your brows are going to get to much gel on them and not to little where you feel like you have to work to get the gel on to your brows. The brush is easy to work with so if your just going to use this to shape your brows I dont think it will be a problem for you.

Once you have put this on and it has dried your brows dont feel crunchy, they feel soft but they should last the day. I have had no problems with them looking bad through out the day.


Have you tried NYX Control Freak? Do you love it or hate it? Let me know in the comments below.

Dont forget to check out my YouTube channel. Its still new but there is a few videos up so please check them out. 

Thanks for reading and hope your all well.

Take care x
