Vivo Cosmetics Ultimate Brow and Eye Kit

Vivo Eyebrow Kit
I picked this up whilst doing some food shopping as I don’t have any dedicated brow powders, and none of my eyeshadows looked quite right. It comes with three brow powders, a clear brow gel, and a angled brush and sponge (both of which are not really of much use, but that was to be expected).
I’ve been mixing the shades together, to create the right shade to balance out the make-up I have on. The matte powders are smooth and the best thing is they aren’t chalky ( I hate nothing more than fall out near my brows!).
Vivo Eyebrow Swatches
Most people should be able to find a colour to use in this kit, and if not the colours can be easily combined. I haven’t seen anything like this on the high-street before and this is definitely one of the stars of the Vivo range. If you haven’t found you HG brow product yet I suggest you try this out. It might just be it.
Vivo’s Ultimate Brow and Eye Kit costs £5 and is available at selected Tesco Extra stores.

Mac Impeccable Brow Pencil...Not so Impeccable after all


I've been using this for a while now, after deciding paying the same price for a tenth of the product with Mac's twist up brow pencils was not worth it. I'm starting to reconsider this opinion.
Ive tried using this every which way possible but nothing about the texture works for me. It is near enough impossible to create a fine line with this, even with daily sharpening, meaning I can't create the elongated brow I need after overplucking as a teenager.
When used to fill in gaps, I find it makes my brows more unruly than they were to start with. Over all I'm not very impressed with this product.
The only thing I like about it is the colour, which has enough grey in it to stop it from looking to red against my skin.
Some swatches if your still interested;

Impeccable brow pencil is priced at £11.50 and available from Mac
