Brow Definer Dupe?

While wandering around my local Boots today, I spotted this little baby in the corner of my eye. Being an Anastasia Beverly Hills lover, I was surprised to see what appeared to be a Brow Definer...in the Soap & Glory range!


Of course, I had to take a closer look and I was quite surprised to see just how similar the ABH Brow Definer and the Soap & Glory Archery Brow Sculpting Crayon & Gel were. At a glance, the only real difference I could see what the fact that the Soap & Glory product comes with a brow gel in the same applicator instead of just a spooly. 

Oh and the other key difference was the price.

ABH Brow Definer : £16
Soap & Glory Archery Brow Sculpting Crayon & Gel : £10

So, £6 isn't a huge difference, but when Boots are doing 'buy 1 get one half price' thats TWO Soap & Glory Archery Brow Sculpting Crayon & Gel's for less than ONE ABH Brow Definer.

The shape of the actual product was literally the exact same for both products: 



And the ingredients don't differ too much (everything in pink is the same and blue is similar. I'm pretty sure the other ingredients are very similar or have the same properties, but I'm not a chemist, so I can't be sure!)

But what about the colour? Well these is a slightly noticeable difference when I swatch the two colours next to each other, it doesn’t appear to be huge, but colour can make a massive difference when you’re doing your brows. Below I swatches ABH Taupe with S&G Brown & Out. 


I'll leave you to be the judge!

Are your feet ready for summer?

Summer is well and truly here in the UK (let's hope it lasts) 

But are you feet ready for summer sandals!? If not, then you need this product in your life! 

One thing I always forget about is my feet ! Soap and Glory have an amazing foot cream called Heel Genius. 



You simply apply this to your feet before bed, pop on some socks and sleep well the magic happens! 

Weirdly enough this stuff smells amazing!!  I almost done want to waste it on my feet because it smells so good. 

So what's in it? Allantoin, Glycerin, Macadamia Oil, Menthol, Bilberry, orange and lemon acid smoothers! 

For a quick heel fix, try this amazing stuff :)
