New In Beauty: B'KATE Pro Powder Brow Pencil & Brow Oil Roll On review

Wednesday, 17 August 2022

All about those brows! B'KATE are the new kids on the block, having recently launched into the UK. This female-founded Dutch brand is cruelty-free, vegan and gluten-free, and promises high-performance cosmetics that provide exceptional results.

Founded by Marlies Gregorius, who is an International Brow Artist in the makeup industry, B'KATE stands for confidence, ambition, growth, authenticity, and possibilities, and is a brilliant example of a brand that's designed by women, for women.

I'm not overly obsessive about my brows, but I do like them to look defined and groomed as it helps to frame my face well. Like many millennials, I've experimented with a vast number of different brow products in search of 'the one', and I've discovered several that I really like, including these two newbies from B'KATE.

B'KATE Pro Powder Brow Pencil & Brow Oil Roll On review

B'KATE Pro Powder Brow Pencil in Tatum* (£14)

Available in three natural-looking shades, the bestseller from this range is the Pro Powder Brow Pencil. This easy-to-use pencil combines all of the elements of a soft powder into something more solid that allows you to effortlessly fill in your brows and shade them exactly as you wish. You can also use it to create an on-trend ombre brow and the in-built spoolie at the end helps to blend everything perfectly. I absolutely love the shade Tatum which is a dark brown that isn't too dark if you catch my drift, and it compliments my dark brown hair colour in just the right way.

B'KATE Brow Oil Roll On* (£6.95)

If you want thicker-looking brows, this Brow Oil Roll-On will quickly become your new BFF. Made from 100% pure and natural Castor Oil, this wonderful soothing and hydrating oil has anti-inflammatory and nourishing properties to encourage healthy hair growth. It's free from colourants and preservatives and comes packaged in a handy glass rollerball. Using it couldn't be simpler; just roll it over your brows (or dab it onto any gaps in your brows where you want new growth), and let the oil work its magic. Best results are seen when you use this daily - I like to apply it before going to bed and you should start to see some noticeable differences after 4-6 weeks.

It may be looking cloudy and overcast today, but apparently some more summer weather is on its way (fingers crossed!). Whilst we wait for the sun to reappear, here are some makeup picks from INIKA which are all very on-trend right now, plus a review of their new Rosehip Oils.

November was another great month for discovering some new beauty favourites and there's a little bit of everything in this post, from makeup to skincare to haircare. Enjoy!

Less is most definitely more when it comes to nailing that laidback 'no makeup' makeup look. The trick is to choose only a few products to prevent overdoing it, so this look is perfect for a 5 Product Face.

Nicely defined brows can be the icing on the cake when it comes to finishing off your everyday makeup look. Done correctly, they can instantly make you look younger and much more 'put together' (even if in reality you did your makeup on the train to work because you're running late and are suffering from the mother of all hangovers...!).

Inika Creme Colour for Cheeks & Lips in Rosehip* (2g, £22, link) & Creme Eyeshadow in Champagne* (7ml, £18, link)

It's always exciting when an eye catching press release for a brand new product drops into your inbox, but even more so when it's for an organic and natural brand like Inika. New organic make-up just don't come about as often as you'd expect, so I couldn't wait to try out two of Inika's latest offerings from their recently released Creme Colour range.

In simple black matte packaging with their trademark gold insignia name, Inika's Creme Colour for Cheek & Lips is a brilliant little compact to have in your handbag. The shade I have here is called Rosehip, a bright red with orange undertones.

I was a little worried about how bright this would be on the cheeks, but despite how wonderfully pigmented it is (and it really is, you only need the smallest amount!), it's very easy to blend and sheer out for a pretty natural flush. If you prefer a bolder blush look, then the creamy, light, non-greasy formula is easily buildable too. This lasted on me for around 8 hours which was very impressive!

On the lips, I was again amazed by how pigmented it was, and it delivers a beautiful nearly matte finish that didn't feel drying at all. It lasted around 2-3 hours before I needed to reapply, and I'd suggest using a lip brush to apply this because it is so pigmented.

Inika's Creme Eyeshadow comes in a dinky little bottle with a slim nozzle tip so you don't waste any product when you squeeze it out. Champagne is light pink neutral shade with lots of gold shimmer that works well at brightening up the eyes, especially when blended into the inner corner. The cream formula is very light and sheer, plus it takes a while to dry fully (best leave it 2-3 minutes).

Sadly, this creased almost straight away on my oily lids, and with a primer underneath, it only lasted for an extra hour or so before creasing again, so personally I'd just use this as an inner corner highlight. Alternatively, if you like very shimmery face highlighters, then this shade could work well for that.

Summary: Whilst the Creme Eyeshadow wasn't that great for me personally, I do really love the Creme Colour for Cheeks & Lips. Slight downside is that I wish you got more product for your money because it is tiny, but then again, it's also very pigmented too, so it would last a good while before you hit pan. There's currently only four shades in the Creme Colour range (two for eyes, two for cheeks & lips), so hopefully Inika will add some more Cheeks & Lips ones soon!

The new Creme Colour range from Inika is out now and available online.

Inika products are organic, natural, vegan and halal certified.

What do you think of the new Inika Creme Colour products?

Joliebox (£10 + P&P per month, link)

I was about to pop into the shower this morning when a Yodel courier knocked on the door, looked briefly amused that I was in my dressing gown and then handed over my Joliebox. I couldn't wait to open it. It's a good one this month!

Words really can't describe how much I love this Wet 'n' Wild eyeshadow trio. But for the purposes of this post, I'll try to come up with a few.

Eyebrows are funny things aren't they? They define and frame your face, but they can be so high maintenance. Here's how I keep mine in check and what I use to define them further:-
