FOTD & OOTD Casual Shopping Trip| Casssheww

I haven't done a Face Of The Day and Outfit Of The Day in ages and the reason behind that is 1) I never have time and 2) My makeup to go out is never really exciting enough to blog about. 

Today I went for an extremely dark lip, taupe eyes and strong brows. Basically everything is just dark.


To achieve this look the makeup I used was:
♥Chanel Vitalumiere Foundation 10 Beige
♥Mac Studio Finish Concealer NW20
♥Mac Mineralised Skin Finish Natural Medium Dark
♥Mac Charcoal Brown and Omega Eyeshadow for brows
♥Mac Satin Taupe Eyeshadow all over the lip, Omega in the crease
♥L'oreal False Lash Wings Waterproof Mascara
♥Mac Warm Soul Mineralised Blush
♥Mac Mineralised Skin Finish Soft and Gentle Highlight
♥Revlon Matte Balm Shameless (Shortly after I changed to Mac Cyber)

*Yes, there is a lot of MAC Products. No, this is not a sponsored post. 

 ♥Bralette/Bandeau: Forever 21
♥Shirt: H&M
♥Pants: Supre 
♥Nailpolish: Sally Hansen Greige Gardens (You can see it more clearly in the first photo)
Thank you for reading!
Have a nice day :)

Happy *Clean* Hands| Casssheww



 (Vanilla Sugar, Black Raspberry Vanilla, Coconut Lime Verbena, Peach, Strawberry, Japanese Cherry Blossom)


For some time now I’ve been wishing I could visit a Bath & Body Works store. I see Youtubers do Bath & Body Works hauls and wishing I too could own a candle, body wash or hand sanitiser from this particular shop. That is yet to happen, but for now I’ve found something that satisfies my want for a Bath & Body Works hand sanitiser
I guess we could call this an Australian Bath & Body Works dupe for their hand sanitizers? The scents aren't as exotic as the B&BW ones such as Apple Crumble or Pumpkin Pie or something delicious like that. However, these still live up to my standards (which are pretty high). 
These hand sanitisers don't have a clear brand but they can be found in The Reject Shop, if any of you are from Australia, you will be aware of this store. They retail at $1 each. 
The packaging for this product is small and compact and look exactly like the hand sanitisers you can find at B&BW. They even come with a which rubber cover which you can attach to a bag or something so you can always have a hand sanitiser with you. They have little blue beads inside them which are meant to exfoliate your hands I believe (correct me if I’m wrong). They leave your hands feeling clean, fresh, soft and smelling amazing. They do make your hands feeling a little bit dry but what hand sanitiser doesn’t? That just means that your hands have been properly cleaned. This can be easily fixed with any hand lotion. 
I think these hand sanitisers are adorable and they do last a long time. I am currently halfway through the Vanilla Sugar one and I love the scent so much I bought another one! Yes I do think I have gone overboard with the hand sanitisers but they are only $1 each and will last me a very long time. Besides, doesn't it prove how good these are?

Have a nice day :)

Benefit Gimme Brow Review| Cassshewww


 
 

I have made the ultimate discovery. I don’t know how long this product has been around but it is now my new favourite brow product and something I couldn't possibly live without in my makeup collection.  It is the Benefit Gimme Brow. I got the shade Medium-Dark which is the perfect colour for me. I purchased this from the Benefit counter in Myer for $32 which is pretty pricey I know but I think it is well worth the money.

Benefit claims that this product is water resistant, long-wearing, natural-looking and buildable. I 100% agree with all of this. I definitely think it fills in the brows whilst making it look really natural. It has little gel fibers on the brush that adheres to the skin and hair which creates brows in the places that are scarce. It does build easily, I only ever have to use two coats on each brow to get a really strong brow look that I am happy with. All you have to do is stroke the brush tip through your brows to define its shape and give you darker and fuller looking brows. 

I would only recommend this product if you are happy with the shape of your brows and you have enough brow hairs for the fibers to build on. If you are currently using a brow pencil or a powder to add hairs to your brows to make them thicker or change the shape then this isn't the product for you. This is mainly a product that gives your brows the ‘my brows but better’ kind of look, if you don’t already have the hair and the shape that you want then this product is not for you. This is just my opinion, I am not sure if it 100% wont work on people who don’t already have full brows but I may be wrong. 

I have basically been using this product every single time I apply makeup since I got it which is about 3 weeks ago now and I am loving it. If you have been eyeing this product for a while I highly recommend you go and get it, if this is the first time you’ve heard of this product then I hope I have convinced you to buy it! If you want to see this product in action please go watch some of my makeup tutorials on my Youtube Channel, I’m sure you’ll find a video where I use it, have fun browsing :)

Have you tried this product? If so what are your thoughts on it?

Thank you for reading!
Have a nice day :)
