COLLECTION WORK THE COLOUR EYESHADOW PENCIL IN VANILLA SKY 

£3.19 - Boots

The Collection Work The Colour Eyeshadow Pencil in Vanilla Sky was a total impulse purchase for me whilst browsing my local boots. I swear I can't walk past a Boots and not buy anything! In my defence, it was pretty hard to resist as it was on offer for £2.50! Unfortunately that offer has now ended but it is on a buy one get one half price offer, which is still pretty good if you think about it. I have wanted to try out an eyeshadow pencil for ages, since the hype around the Clinique Chubby Stick Tint for eyes, but I thought the price was a bit steep and although so many highstreet brands have brought out cheaper versions, I have only just got round to trying one out now!

I have the Collection Work The Colour Eyeshadow Pencil in Vanilla Sky which is a shimmery white shade. There aren't any big chunky pieces of glitter and it applies really smoothly onto the eyelid and blends like a dream! For me, the shade is a little too shimmery and bright to be worn on the eyelid alone, but used as a base under other eyeshadows it looks amazing, it also stays put all day and doesn't crease, which is definitely a plus! I do really enjoy using this as an inner corner highlight and on the waterline, it really makes my eyes look a lot brighter!

My only slight concern with this product is that it isn't a twisty pencil so you do have to sharpen it, which I do find a bit annoying because who owns a massive pencil sharpener?! It also wastes product, although this isn't exactly expensive so it's not a massive deal, just a bit of hassle really! I did try to take pictures of this on my eyes but the photos just weren't giving this pencil justice, so now I just have a load of selfies on my camera ;)

Have you tried any of these Work The Colour Eyeshadow Pencils, which one do you like the look of? I've definitely got my eye on the shade Hot Chocolate!

How gorgeous are these bracelets? I love the simplicity of them and how they go with everything I decide to throw on. I'm not one for loads and loads of jewellery and will often just keep the same stuff on all the time. Recently I have been alternating between the Make A Wish charm bracelet and the Infinity charm bracelet. I love the little 'MADE WITH LOVE' tag on the Infinity bracelet, it's a really nice touch! These bracelets are really quite dainty and I haven't seen many about in shops, so I'd definitely take a look at the Callie Rose Accessories website where everything is such a bargain! I'm currently lusting over the Wishbone earrings to match the bracelet!

Now that it's back to school time and at my school we have a no jewellery policy (unless you want to do lunch duty.. no thanks!) I'm hoping to hide the Infinity charm bracelet by keeping my blazer sleeves down, and also smuggle in the Make A Wish bracelet by wearing it an an anklet, which I have been doing over the summer and looks so cute!

SEXY MESSY HAIR SALT SPRAY 

Possibly my favourite from the bunch, this salt spray is amazing at creating some texture in my hair. It has a really nice scent to it and doesn't make your hair look greasy or oily if you spray it in your roots to give a little extra volume. Although summer is almost over, it's great at giving that 'beachy waves' look. The only downside is that using any kind of salt spray isn't going to be any good for your hair so using a good conditioner or hair mask will hopefully keep it healthy! I really like the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle one - it makes your hair feel so soft!

Q10 INNOVATIONS DAY CREAM

Going from one end of the scale to another, this is probably my least favourite. I'm not overly fussy with moisturisers, as long as they don't break me out and they do the job then it's all good. But this moisturiser smells so strongly of bar soap (the dove one in particular) which put me off a bit. I gave it a go nonetheless and I wasn't pleasantly surprised, it almost burned my skin if that makes sense? It made go red and feel tight, which is not what you want in a moisturiser! I didn't give it another go after that!

FAKE TAN WIPES

If you know me, you'll know I'm as white as a sheet! So fake tan is often something I'm excited to try and use but then I give up on it after a while! Does anyone else find that keeping up a faux tan is such high maintenance? Sometimes I just simply can't be bothered! You may be thinking that these fake tan wipes would probably just go streaky and you'd end up with orange hands, but you're wrong. The wipe form (?) makes it easy to apply and the colour actually is quite natural looking! As far as streaks go, these aren't too bad but there's no colour guard so you really have to be careful! As long as you wear gloves, there are no orange hands in sight!

LIGHT TINTED EYE ROLL ON WITH CAFFEINE

I've never tried one of these so I wasn't too sure what too expect. It applies the product with a roller ball which is really cooling under the eyes and reduces some of the puffiness. Although the actual colour is a bit dark for my skin, it blends in fine with my foundation. It is quite light so doesn't have much coverage, but because it is so light it means it doesn't crease nor does it settle into any fine lines! I think this will come in really handy for those early mornings when I'm back at prison school!

Q10 INNOVATIONS DEEP CLEANSING MILK
I'm a bit of n00b when it comes to skincare ;) I don't really know much about it, and I'm not keen on spending a lot of money on it, despite having awful skin. This cleanser removes make up like a dream, even waterproof mascaras! I don't really feel like this does much for my skin, but it takes off my make up well!

Q10 INNOVATIONS REVITALISING TONER
Just before I was about to use this, I thought 'what does a toner even do?' like I said, I have no idea. After a quick google, I used it, expecting excess oil to be removed and pores to be shrunk! For me, this did a good job at removing any make up that hadn't been removed but I can't say my pores had shrunk! I don't think I will be using this again, it is a bit of a waste of time as it didn't exactly do anything for me..
