Collection Work The Colour Eyeshadow Pencils | Review

Hey girlie's!!

I recently picked up these gorgeous 'Work The Colour Eyeshadow Pencils by Collection' and since I've fallen in love with them so much i just had to share the love ha ha.

I picked up 'Vanilla Sky' a pearly champagne colour and 'Hot Chocolate' a dark brown/bronze colour. There are 4 more shades in the collection but these 2 shades are the most wearable for me, i do love a good neutral smokey eye!!! 

Both the pencils are described to be 'blendable' and 'velvety soft' and i couldn't agree more, they are so creamy and easy to use. I'm all about getting my makeup on quick as I'm always rushing to get ready for work at silly o'clock in the morning and i also need my makeup to be long lasting as i never really have time for touch ups during a working day and these pencils are fabulous for both aspects, the creamy formula makes application super quick as you can just blend with your finger and the fact that these are also waterproof makes them super long lasting without a smudge in sight. The feel and texture of these creamy pencils really reminds me of a Mac Paint Pot as I'm applying, but id say they definitely last longer than the paints pots (they wear off and crease on me). 

When applying these i did find you have to work quite quick as once they set, they set!! I really did expect creasing from these, i have oily eyelids anyway and cream eye shadows usually always crease on me but noooo.... they literally don't budge.

'Vanilla Sky' and 'Hot Chocolate'

As you can see from the swatches the 'Eyeshadow Pencils' are super pigmented and have a beautiful pearly shimmer finish. I find both of these pencils to be super versatile, i even used 'Hot Chocolate' on my waterline and it didn't budge all day. These are also super affordable at £3.19 each, all though there was an offer on when i brought mine and they where £2.50 each then, what a beauty steal. Both of these are definitely the kind of products id reach for everyday and are now pride of place in my everyday makeup bag. Whether you want to use them as a base or a quick neutral look you wont be disappointed.

Have you tried these gorgeous eye shadow pencils?? What did you think??

Face Of The Day | My Everyday Makeup

I thought id do a little post on what makeup I'm currently using on a daily basis. Id like to say i don't wear too much makeup on a daily basis, just the basic staples. I do always get myself in a little routine of the same products for a while and then switch it up abit if I'm getting bored or if I've purchased a few new goodies. Anywhoo here's the run down of the current products I'm using.

♥ Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation in '100 Ivory'

♥ Rimmel's Wake Me Up Concealer in '010 Ivory'

♥ Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in 'Medium', I'm only using this to powder over my Concealer to set it into place at the moment.

♥ Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush in 'Soft Pink'

♥ HD Brows Kit in ' Foxy' using 'Ash Brown'

♥ Urban Decay NAKED Basics palette using 'Naked 2' all over the lid and 'Faint' in the crease, then i defined my upper lash line with 'Crave' instead of going for liquid liner.

♥ Avon SuperShock Gel Eyeliner in 'Black'

♥ Rimmel's Glam'EYES Day 2 Night Mascara in 'Black' 

♥ Revlon Lip Gloss in 'Kiss Me Coral'

I hope you enjoyed this type of post girlie's.

Essie Nail Polish Review | Off The Shoulder & We're In It Together

Hey girlie's!! So recently i made another cheeky Fragrance Direct order, their prices are just so good that you cant go on their website for a nose without making an order. So here's two of the beauties i picked up.

We're In It Together is a gorgeous pale pastel pink with ultra fine purple/blue pieces of shimmer running through it. The formula of this polish is great, it applies evenly with no streaks or patches and dries rather quick too. As far as pigmentation goes id say you need a good 2 coats for a complete opaque finish. This is definitely a gorgeous spring time shade.

Off The Shoulder is a pink/raspberry colour with a slight yellow undertone to it. The pigmentation is great, you only need 2 coats for a completely opaque finish. Like 'We're In This Together' the formula is great and has a high shine finish when it dries so you could skip a top coat if you wished. I think this is a great summer colour and would look fabulous on toe too.

I absolutely love these polishes, i can now see why there is so much love for Essie as the quality of their polishes is amazing. I got these at a complete steal for £1.99 each, saving me £6.00 per polish as they are usually priced £7.99 each in Boots 'BARGAIN'.

Have you tried these shades?? What did u think???

30 Day Snap #6 | Lunch In The Sun

Hey girlie's!!!

So its day 6 of the 30 Day Snap today. If your a little confused as to what the 30 Day Snap is you can find all the information in full here.

Today was another long day at work for me and another day that i missed out on having some fun in the sun, but..... Where there's a will there's a way, so i decided to grab a chair and perch myself out on the loading bay with my Heat Magazine and caramel iced donut and catch some rays. It wasn't the most glamorous of  location's but it made the day a little bit better.

Hey girlie's!!! I went out for lunch yesterday with my boyfriend and his dad so i thought i may as well share with you a cheeky little face of the day (focused more on the eyes than the skin) and hair of the day combined.... Hope you like ♥

♥ Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory, i used my Real Techniques Buffing brush to get a nice flawless finish.

♥ Collection Concealer in Light.

♥ Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium, i used my Real Techniques Powder brush to get the perfect finish.

Eyes

♥ Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study, i just blended this all over the lid with my finger to work as a base for my eyeshadow.

♥ Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, i started off mixing 'Foxy' and 'WOS' together with my Real Techniques base shadow brush and popped that all over the lid, using the same brush i took the colour 'Faint' and worked that into my crease. To get that extra blended finish in my crease area i picked up a small amount of 'Naked 2' on my deluxe crease brush and just buffed away. I used my accent brush to smudge 'Crave' on the outta corner of my lower lash line.

♥ Dainty Doll Liquid Eyeliner on the upper lash line.

♥ Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Kohl Eyeliner in Black used to line the water line.

Hair

♥ As always i used my Remington Pearl Curling Wand to curl my hair, I'm loving this style at the moment as the curls stay in for a good couple of days in my hair, which in the long run it means I'm using less heat on my hair.

Review: Stila "In The Light" Eyeshadow Palette

After receiving this gorgeous palette as a gift last year its fair to say I'm in love with it. The  first thing i absolutely loved about this palette was the colour range, every single colour in this palette is right up my street and id wear every single one of them, they can take you from a day look to an evening look in minuetes.  The second thing i love is the quality of the eye shadows their selves, the pigmentation is amazing and the consistency is great too.

In the palette itself you get 12 eye shadows, 4 matte shades and 6 shimmer shades also as a little Brucie bonus you get the Stila "Smudge Stick Waterproof  Eye Liner" in Damsel. The matte eye shadows are very soft and have that  silky smooth feeling and the shimmer shades have a lovely creamy feel and are really easy to blend, both are very highly pigmented.  The fact this palette comes will a full size eyeliner is just fab as you get to try out another Stila product that you might not of even bothered to look out for in the future let alone try. The eyeliner is amazing, it applies really easily the pigmentation is amazing and the staying power is great, once its on its on, there's no budging it, however you do get a few minuetes to smudge it out of your going for that look. The colour itself is a dark matte brown with no shimmer or glitter running through it which is great if your looking for an alternative to black eyeliner. On a whole i think this palette is such great value for money, its £25 for 12 great quality eye shadows and an equally as great eyeliner, which on its own is priced at £14 so all in all the palette gets a 10 out of 10 from me. 

You can buy this palette from Boots, or check out some online retailers like ASOS and FeelUnique.

From left to right, Bare (matte), Kitten (shimmer), Bliss (matte) , Sunset (shimmer) and Standstone (matte).

From left to right, Champagne (shimmer), Gilded Gold (shimmer), Luster (shimmer), Night Sky (shimmer) and Ebony (matte).

Damsel Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner.
