(Is is going to be a looong post haha bare with me)

So over the past month I have bought a few (haha okay a lot) new makeup products, some just repurchases and some new interesting new things :)

Today I would like to give you guys a small review + photo of the 2 products I been most impressed by! I been using them a month to be able to give you my true opinion on them :)

Here we go!!
The first product I bought was the Body Shop Lip and Cheek Velvet stick in the color Universal. Now I was instantly drawn to this product since is was totally black in the stick and was said to turn a individual shade when being applied to your lips or cheeks. I don't know if I have been living under a rock, but I really never heard about a product like that and I was so intrigued, so I got it despite the 18$ price tag!

Well, when I apply it to my lips it turn a beautiful purple-ish berry color (very me haha), the color intensify a bit with time so in the picture I will attach I took a picture right after application and again 10 minutes later. It goes on kind of matte but feels very smooth on the lips, which is a very good thing for someone like me who can't help of rubbing my lips together! The staying power is pretty good since it stains the lip in the same color, so even if it rubs off a bit your lips underneath will be almost the same color. I been wearing the colors today, and now at 9pm there's no more product but my lips are still a beautiful berry color!
All in all I'm really impressed with this product and very happy I got it! The color is great on me. I would love to see how it would look on others tho since it adapteds to everyones skin definitely, or so it says :)
I haven't tried as a cheeky product I should probably say!

Next product is the Loreal Brow artist plumper - now I have already been suggesting this product on here and let me just say "I love it"!! I been eyeing the Benefit Gimme Brow for a while, but honestly the 40$ that it cost in my country is just ridiculous and I don't want to pay it haha! So I saw Shannox on YouTube talk about the Loreal one and comparing it the the Benefit, so I decided to give it a go! I originally wanted it in blond, but for some reason it's only available in Denmark in medium brown, so finally I caved and got that, even tho I was afraid it would be way to dark for me! It's a little dark but I thi you it work ;)
So the product is just like a tiny mascara wand, just like benefit, and you just set your brows with it and the product will both tint and set the hairs :) The really great thing is that the product has tiny fibers in it that clings to your brows, and make them look much fuller then they actually are! Now I love a good drawn brow... on others... not on me, I just look weird with it, so I like my brows looking absolutely natural, just darker and whiteout the bald spots ;) And that is exactly what this product does! It gives me full, darker, natural brows - And it takes like 2 seconds to do!
All in all - I'm in love!!

Hope some of you will find this helpful or interesting or something haha it was definitely long!
If you have any questions about the products just ask I would love to tell you more :)

I'm going to post the pictures right after this :)

Wow Sabrina! Those products and results are amazing! I wonder how much that body shop stick is here in the You.S. It looks so interesting and the color it turned for you is perfect!! I'm always on the fence about my brows. I feel like the shape is ok but at times appears too dark. I'm always interested in brow products but rarely use them lol. Your brows look flawless and natural!

Thank you for your sweet words Jackie, and thanks for taking the time to read this looong post haha ;)
I googled the lippie and its 16$ in the us, so not much of a diffrence! While its expensive I actually think its worth it! I have used it so much over the last month because its just such an easy product to use, it gives a good color pay of and it stays!!

So beautiful! <3

Oooh! I have an ulta lipstick that changes colour, it's so strange it's blue in the tube and when it's on the lips is a bright pink lol! I love that lip colour on you :) I might need to pick up that brow gel!

Thank you Grace! I thought it was so cool when I saw it as well, the girl in the body shop told me that the lipstick reacts to the ph level on your lips and that's how it creates your own unique color! I think it's always like a shade of pink/purple - like I don't think it will ever turn green or yellow or anything haha!

Shaye that sounds fun!! Did you know it would change into pink when you bought it? And I definitely recommend the brow gel, I'm really super impressed with it! I think it gives me so natural brows!

The brow gel looks amazing! I'm suprised they sell only the one colour there though, what does everyone have brown eyebrows in denmark?? Haha and the lippie is amazing on you! I bought unique pink by Petra and it goes on a different shade pink for everyone when victoria uses it here lips are like a deep raspberry red! I get like a strawberry pink haha.

Haha I know its crazy, right after Sweden Denmark has the most blonds - when the lady told me they would only be getting the medium brown I was like Why!?! But I actually think the colors works okay, so I will live with it ;)
Aw how fun! I wish I could try my lippie on someone else to see what it would turn!

Yea the brown actually looks pretty good with your current brow hairs, I guess it makes sense I believe the average natural brow is two shades darker than your hair...? I think but I have naturally dark dark brown hair and my brows are like a normal medium brown shade... So who knows hahaha.

Great reviews Sabrina :)looks like I need to try the body shop lip and cheek stick. It is a beautiful colour.

I love the loreal brow artist plumper. I've had mine for about 3-4 months and I've noticed it is starting to smell a little? I am not sure if it has gone off as it has a 6 month expiry date from opening, its strange! I think I will buy a new one just in case.

Wow, I've been obsessed with Gimme Brow since I tried it last month at Benefit. I hate doing bold brows as it looks weird on me and I like a natural look. Gimme Brow has been amazing for a super fast and natural look, but the results are basically the same as this product. I'd definite give this a shot! I think it made them look even fuller than Gimme Brow does for me. I think I'll give it a shot! Good review

Rebecca, definitely let me know how you like it if you get the lip I :) I'm so curious to know how it will look on others :) And I will definitely keep an eye, and nose haha, on the brow plumper to see if it starts to smell as well! I have only had mine open for less than a month now!

Maggie I tell you I was also wanting the Gimme Brow so bad, but that price tag! oh no, I'm way to cheap haha! I of cause don't know I'd this preforms just as welll as the Gimme Brow, but I think it looks like it does, and it also sounds like it from what you say :) So I'm really happy if my little review can help you save a buck :)

Joana thank you so much :) I hope you will like it when you get it and that the color will be you as well ;)

That looks like a great eyebrow product! I might have to pick it up once I need a new brow gel :)

And I wonder how that lip and cheek stick would look on others! So curious :)
