Seventeen Brow's That! | Brow Kit







 If im totally honest, Seventeen is a brand that I often tend to ignore (shame on me I know). Dont get me wrong there's nothing wrong with the products, just, other brands/products tend to steal the limelight. However during my trip to Boots the other week, there was only one thing catching my attention, que the Seventeen Brow's That Brow Kit. After a thorough browse of the stand, I knew I had to make this little kit mine, along with a few other items (what can I say they have some fab releases). 

The packaging of the Brow's That, Brow Kit is a little large in comparison to most (twice the size of Benefits Brow Zings), however its sleek and sturdy none the less. Its a practical compact with a good quality mirror, making it perfect for touch ups on the go, miniature brown pencil, soft wax, setting powder and highlighter. All in all, this really is a perfect kit for keeping those unruly brows at bay. The only thing missing is a pair of tweezers, but for £6 I cant grumble. 

I really like how step by step tips were included within the palette, making it the perfect kit for brow shading newbies. The only downside?! Is that the Brow Kit only comes in one shade. Personally i feel like this would suit those with medium to light brows, however Im not sure how well it would work for those with darker brows. 

The Seventeen Brow's That, Brow Kit is currently £6, or free when you spend £8 or more across the Seventeen line. But be quick, as I can guarantee this limited edition gem will fly off the shelves fast. 
Have you picked up the Seventeen Brow's That Kit?

Getting Down At The Drugstore


Hi my names Sophie and I have a total weakness for a good drugstore bargain. 'Gift with purchase' and 3 for 2 offers, are words that never fail to make me a little giddy at the knees, and because of that I often spend a small fortune within minutes on fabulous high street gems. So It will come as no suprise that I didn't leave empty handed during my recent trip to Boots thanks to those two devilish words. 

The Seventeen Brows That Brow Kit was the first item to fall victim to my basket. Dangerously close to pan on both my E.L.F Brow Kit and Benefit Brow Zings, I couldn't resist picking up this Limited Edition gem (any excuse hey). With a full review in the pipeline I wont go into too much detail but what I will say is that its a serious contender to knock Brow Zings off the top spot (yes it really is that good). The Brows That Brow Kit is currently £6, or free if you spend £8 or more across the Seventeen line. Obviously I made the most of the offer and picked up a Skin Wow Primer Highlighter and 18 Hour Stay Time Concealer (expect a review soon). My logic?? Why spend £6 on one product when for a mere £2 more you could get three. How shameful. 

After a mooch around I was ready to hit the tills, when a row of limited edition Cherry Velvet Maybelline Baby Lips caught my attention. Its no secret that I have an obsession with these colourful balms, so it would have been rude not to leave without at least one. However I will say that the offer on this balm is a little confusing to say the least. Emblazoned across the barcode was 'limited edition sample, not for resale', yet all that was written on the board was 3 for 2. A little confused, I took to twitter to find out a little more about this mysterious Maybelline Baby Lips, when the lovely Amy came to my rescue. Basically as part of the 3 for 2 offer, aswell as getting the cheapest item free, you also get a limited edition Baby Lips (win win right?!). 

Making the most of 3 for 2, I also picked up the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Metallic Pomegranate. Hailed as a purse friendly alternative to MAC's Cranberry I couldn't resist popping it in my basket. A Maybelline The One By One Black Mascara and a Nail Polish which I happily handed over to my friend, for good measure. 
Are you a sucker for a good drugstore bargain?!
