QUICKIE PRODUCT REVIEWS {QPR'S} MARCH 2020

This months QPR post contains 3 products that were inclusions in my Beauty Advent Calendar 2019, the one being a brow pencil from a brand I'd never heard of and

the other is a lip pencil from a brand that I'd only heard good things about and

an exciting hair styling treatment product. 

1.

Brand : ILLAMASQUA

Product : Colouring Lip Pencil

Price :£16

A relatively new British brand that has built up quite a following since its launch in November 2008. Illamasqua (a combination of 'Illusion' and 'Masquerade') is the brainchild of 

Yorkshire marketing guru Julian Kynaston and I was excited to put my

Lip pencil, in the shade Raw, to the BSB Test.

Use as a lip liner to prevent colour bleed, or blend across the entire lip to 

create a colour-intense finish.

Despite the claims that you can create long-lasting definition with this versatile, 

highly-pigmented Lip Colouring Pencil, that's easily-blendable with a creamy texture 

that glides over skin, I found the pencil to be quite hard on the lips and not that pigmented or creamy.

For me this pencil was a disappointment, so much so, that I won't be using it again

 and has sadly left me not wanting to try anything else from this brand.

 

Verdict :  2/10

2.

Brand : DELILAH

Product : Brow Groom

Price : £20

Having previously never heard of this British cosmetic brand DELILAH, 

I wasn't expecting anything great.How wrong I was, as I love this brow pencil.

Perfect your arches with the Retractable Eye Brow Pencil with Brush from delilah. Featuring a dual-end design, the eyebrow pencil has a narrow nib at the one end with a creamy formula and natural-looking colour coverage, allowing you to create precise,hair-like strokes to fill sparse gaps and enhance depth. 

The built-in spoolie brush to the opposite end helps tame stray hairs and keep brows looking flawlessly groomed.

Verdict :  8/10

Brand : LIVING PROOF

Product : Perfect Hair Day

5in1 Styling Treatment

Price : £24

This hair styling product from Living proof. is fast becoming a firm favourite of mine,

 as it really is what it says on the packaging, a 5in1 Styling Treatment. 

This delightfully fragranced lightweight gel adds volume, it conditions, strengthens,

creates a smooth shiny finish to the hair and most importantly for me

it provides heat protection up to 450F/230C.

I love the softness and bounce this multi purpose styling product gives to my hair. 

It's easy to use, just apply on damp hair, evenly distribute from roots to ends.

 Comb through. 

For best results, blow dry.

Verdict :  8/10
