Back in December I did a blog post saying that I was starting to use coconut oil to try and grow out my brows. I'd tried that trick with my eyelashes before, but I never really stuck to it completely. This time, I am dedicated.
Basically, I apply some coconut oil onto my eyebrows every night before I go to sleep. I've missed about five times since I started this 'project', if you will. Unlike with my eyelashes, I've actually noticed a bit of a difference - my eyebrows have grown and are slowly getting into the shape I want them in. They're still not super thick and, unfortunately, they're still not completely even, but they are getting there. I really like what they look like at the moment and I feel confident just applying some clear eyebrow gel on them and lining the bottom part to make them look a bit more tidy. Other than that, I don't feel like I have to fill them in in order to get them to be 'on fleek'.
If you're struggling with your brows, I recommend trying this trick out. I can't promise it will work on you, but it is working on me and that's why I still use it every night. Good luck!

Recently I've been experiencing lots of brow troubles - they started to get a bit more sparse and weird shaped. This obviously makes it really hard to get them to look the same and acceptable. I've realised that the only thing that can help is me refraining from using tweezers no matter what and googling ways to grow your brows. I'd been trying to make them grow using coconut oil, and when I googled this I realised I hadn't been wrong.
Thus I've started using coconut oil on my brows before I go to bed every night - I melt a little bit between my fingers (it's in a pot) and apply it onto my brows as if it was a cream. I've also started applying it on my eyelashes again. 
I don't know how long it takes to see results, but I feel like there already are some visible results and I've been doing it for less than a month. If I notice a definite change I'll make sure to let you know (I know I said that when I tried to grow my lashes, but I didn't notice any difference so I didn't have what to update you on). Don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to it.
Also, I am really restraining myself from tweezing them even though some parts are looking a bit cray cray, so that's a good sign of self control, I think.

I think by now you should know that I love making lists and wishing for things, so wishlists are the only logical result. This one's going to include some makeup bits that I'm in need of and slightly more fashion things I also need.
○ concealer
○ tinted eyebrow gel
○ Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara
○ grey jeans
○ black jeans
○ (ankle) boots
○ gloves
○ wallet
○ turtle neck sweaters
○ a baby pink sweater
○ a fuzzy cardigan
○ fuzzy socks
○ cute pajama bottoms
○ joggers
○ black leggings

I tried being modest, but it's Christmas season and my birthday is coming up soon so I can be hopeful. Bye for now.

After watching a video on youtube and reading lots of blog posts about this, I decided to join in the fun - using coconut oil to grow eyelashes. Now, I've naturally got pretty long eyelashes, but I thought maybe they could become thicker or whatever. Basically, every night you're supposed to rub a bit of coconut oil onto the roots of you lashes. It's quick and simple, fuss free and said to be useful, so why not try it? I've also been using it on my eyebrows, but I don't know if that's gonna give any results. You're supposed to do this for a month in order to reach best results, so I'll do my best. Tonight will be the 5th night I've been doing this.  
Over the next few weeks, I'll be updating you guys on the progress of this little project. I will try and take photos of the changes (if there are any) and compare them so that you can see what's going on. I encourage you guys to try it out too, cause you don't have anything to lose, really. We can go through it together. Or, you know, you can just follow my journey, whatever.
I'm gonna go now and I'll keep you posted. I think the next blog post will be a playlist for rainy days, just a warning.

I don't know about you guys, but I've been trying to keep my makeup quite minimal during these hellish days. The only thing I've been experimenting with is eyeshadow and that's why it won't be listed in this blog post, as for the rest, I've basically been doing the same thing. Here's what I've been using:

Warning: I am writing this blog post slightly overheated as I've just been sunbathing on my balcony, which probably wasn't the best idea I've had, so sorry if I seem delusional.
There's a whole bunch of products I'd like to try from NYX, so I thought I'd write them all down. If you've tried any of them, let me know if they're worth the hype.

○ Blush in Taupe - I don't use blushers, but I'd use this one for contouring as it's the perfect shade. I am really temped to go and buy it right now, but I'm not gonna make any rash decisions with this much Sun gone to my head.
○ Butter Lipstick in Licorice - I love purple lipsticks and I think they really suit me, I just with this one was matte.
○ Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm - it seems like the perfect 'your lips but better' shade. Or a Kylie Jenner one.
○ Soft Matte Lip Cream in Prague - it just looks nice, doesn't it?
○ Soft Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen - I NEED this for the winter, I'm obsessed with the shade.
○ Micro Brow Pencil - just seems like a really good brow product.
○ Eye Shadow Base - because I desperately need one.
○ Highlight & Contour Pro Palette - who doesn't need this, tho.
○ Makeup Setting Spray - cause it's summer and I'm oily.
○ Skin Elixir - Balance (Tea Tree) - because it's looks like my skin would enjoy it.

Those are my 10 most wanted products from NYX, if I get the chance to try some of them out, it won't go without a review, don't worry. As you can tell, I've got a bit of a thing for their lip products. Again, let me know your thought on these if you've tried them. Also, let me know if you're like me and can browse through their website for hours and hours.
