Arran Aromatics - Honey & Oatmeal Massage Soap Review

Hello Minna-san! Today I have a review on a brand which is close to home, Arran Aromatics! I have been trying to find a soap that will suit my skin for ages because of my eczema, since i've been sick to death of using Simple products.

First of all this soap is massive, its such a big block of product so it will last months of use, not only as a shower bar, but also as a hand soap. The soap itself smells so much like an earthy-honey type of smell with infusions of oatmeal, it's such a rich, comforting smell which relaxes you. All of the massage soaps from Arran Aromatics are vegetable soaps with added glycerin and essential oils, the soap in particular is infused with almond oil & honey oil.   

I adore this soap, it creates so much lather and the moisture it gives my skin is incredible. As a girl with problem skin I look for a lot of moisturizing qualities in a soap and also the ability for it to be slightly abrasive in order to get rid of dead skin cells, amazingly there are little pieces of oats mixed into the soap bar which are perfect for removing dead cells and allowing your skin to rejuvenate.

Overall I would highly recommend this soap for anyone who wants to give their skin extra nourishment or if their skin is very dry and irritated.

Price: £3.50 (200g)

Step-By-Step Liquid Eyeliner Makeup Look - The Cat Eye!

 Konnichiwa Minna-san! I thought I would create a sort of step-by-step tutorial for liquid eyeliner, for those who find it awkward or a little intimidating. I will also be including a variety of liquid eyeliners that I recommend as well! 

1. Start from the center of the eye to estimate the thickness of the eyeliner band that you are looking for.   

2. Draw a steadily thinner line on the inner corner and do this in short flicks, instead of drawing the line all at once. This will reduce the chances of messing the line up.

3. Draw a line out to the outer corner of the eye and extend it into a sharp line as far as you want. This will be how far your cat eye will reach. Connect the line with another shorter line from the bottom outer corner of the eye. This will create a outline of a triangle with a blank spot in the middle.

4. Fill in the triangle and proceed to fix any mistakes or thicken the line more if you wish. After all this is only a small guide, after which you can play around with all types of styles and thicknesses.  

5. That's you finished! It can be hard to get used too, but after a while it will seem like second nature. 

Some people will find different applicators more easier to use than others, for people who are starting out I would recommend a sponge-tip as it can give you more control over your movements. However it mostly makes your lines quite thick, which can be an issue. Gel liner is very useful as a stepping stone between pencil and liquid liners, as the formula is a bit stiffer and easier to control. I personally find a thin hair-like applicator much easier as you can get the flicks very thin and precise.
