Collection - Work The Colour - Eyeshadow Pencil | Beauty Review

 

 

When it comes to highlighters or any thing similar I'm like a magpie and have to purchase it (I nearly wrote steal then) thinking about what magpies do with silver haha!

Now you probably all know Collection for their Lasting Perfection - Concealer which we all love just a tad too much. Well when I was mooching around Superdrug the other day I came across the 'Collection - Work The Shadow - Eyeshadow Pencil'  I didn't really know what I would think to an eyeshadow in a stick or in fact the texture of it as I quite like my powders. Plain Jane sometimes, I know! But there seems to be quite a lot of eyeshadow pencil's about at the moment so I thought I would try one out. I must admit this shade caught my eye the most, it's called Vanilla Sky. I'd label it as quite a light champagne colour.

I apply mine in the inner corners of my eyes and sometimes as a base all over my lid.

Now I didn't actually realise that this was waterproof until I tried to rub my swatch after it had been on about 20-30 seconds and it wouldn't budge.

Kind of gave myself an Indian burn!

I was wondering why it was actually staying put all day. Now they are really easy to blend in, but you do need to be quite quick as I say after so long they won't move a muscle.

This may have to be another one of my favourites from the Collection range. I can't stop reaching for it in a morning and the longevity is so so good!

 

Collections - Work The Shadow sticks come in 6 different shades and are only retailed at £2.50.

You can pick these up in a Superdrug drugstore or online on their website.

 

Have you tried any of these yet?

Or something similar?

Just a little update as I'm so excited! My mum and dad have surprised me with a little get away to Tunisia in 13 days. We are staying in one of the nicest hotels I've ever seen and I cannot wait to take advantage of the spa and all their treatments. I'm quite nervous about flying this time as it's been quite sometime since I last went on a aeroplane, but I'm so looking forward to it and the all inclusive food of course.

:D

'Advanced multi-protection anti-oxidant creme'

Oil free SPF 25

 

Sorry that I haven't posted much this week (blame it on my sister). Nah, my sister has come up to visit me and my family as she lives down South and doesn't get to see us that often. So I've been making the most of having her home for a few days. It's been so nice to have someone to do things with, I've missed having her home. She goes back home tonight though :( and I won't get to see her until Christmas. I've had a great time with her though & I'll be counting down the days till Christmas soon enough.

BUT look what she gave me!!!!!!

I've never owned anything from Estee Lauder so I was over the moon when she gave me this the other morning. She said she didn't really use it and thought that I would love it. (She was right!)

So a big thank you to my sister Rochelle!

She's recently started reading my blog and blamed me for her pricey hauls in Superdrug and Boots, oops!

 

Right... So this little beauty is a moisturiser that you can wear everyday, but it has lots of other little bonuses too. As I suffer with blemishes, spots and dry skin this product is perfect for me.

As it's oil free and non acne genic which means it won't cause you to get any spots or breakouts, yippee!

When you apply this cream it doesn't feel too heavy on the face like most moisturisers and it absorbs into your skin quite quick. I've found that it's perfect for those days where you just want to wear concealer or even as a foundation base. A few people have commented and said that my skin looks 'is glowing'. So I quickly tell them I've been using this product and not to worry as I'm definitely not pregnant haha!

If you suffer with dry skin like me then you'll know that it can make your skin appear older and not so youthful. This cream is so good at keeping your skin hydrated, I don't think I can rave about it enough! I absolutely LOVE it. It has a light scent to it which reminds me of the smell of cucumbers?

I apply mine AM and PM and my skin looks so much better since using this product and I WILL go out and re-purchase when I run out.

It is retailed at £40.00 but the tub is quite large, you get 50ml.

Let's just say a little goes a long way :)

 

Do you use any of the Estee Lauder skincare products?

Let me know if so as I'm looking for some new bits and pieces in my skincare range and don't mind paying that extra bit if it's as good as I've found this to be.

I must be the Queen of L'Oreal!
I think if you're going to buy a drugstore foundation or mascara this is thee brand to go for.

I always find myself getting carried away but you can't complain when it's a 3 for 2 offer.

You kind of stick with what you know though when it comes to good cosmetics.

So I recently went to Superdrug and picked up a few bits and pieces.

Starting from left to right from the top picture

 

Barry M - Nail Paint in 'Matt White'

I think everyone needs a white nail polish and I really like how long Barry M polishes last on your nails. Well this type does I do not rate the Barry M Gelly paints at all but they have the prettiest colour of shades in them.

£2.99

 

L'Oreal - Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer

I think it is so so hard to find a good primer. This one does illuminate your skin making you look like you have more of a glow but it doesn't make your foundation last any longer than usual when you use it under your foundation, which is disappointing. L'Oreal you let me down on this one!

Although it does make your skin feel super soft I wouldn't repurchase this.

£9.99

 

L'Oreal - True Match Foundation

Usually sticking to my L'Oreal - Infallible 16 hour foundation. I decided to go back to one of the foundations that I used as a teen, by that I mean just leaving secondary school. I never really wore make-up in school. What I love about L'Oreal foundations is that they feel so light on the skin, so you don't have that 'cakey' feeling. They are also perfect for the coverage! I'm a coverage girl as I have quite a few skin imperfections.

 

L'Oreal - Skin Perfection - 3 in 1 Micellar Solution 200ml

 This solution removes all traces of make-up!
Not only that, but it also draws out excess oil and impurities leaving your skin feeling soft and toned.
Basically it removes make-up, unclogs pores and tones/soothes the skin, as it states on the front of the bottle. I'm a little late in purchase this beauty blogger sensation. I wouldn't go crazy over it, but it does the job!
£4.99 each
I got this on 'buy 2 for £5' in Superdrug
 

L'Oreal - Lash Architect - Mascara

If you know me by now or you've been following my blog for a while you'll know this is my holy grail mascara. It lengthens and gives your lashes volume like you wouldn't believe. Check out one of my earlier blog post's about this mascara for full details.

Collection - Lasting Perfection - Concealer

I already have this concealer in Light, but I wanted a medium shade to try out and this one suits my skin tone a lot more at the minute. It's kinder like having a few foundation shades for when you have a lighter or darker tan. I love how long lasting this concealer is for the price it must be one of those beauty items that everybody and their nan has.

 

 

Barry M - Nail Paint in 'Confetti - Sour Apple'

A Sales advisor in Superdrug kind of twisted my arm in to this one telling m how amazing it look's over the top of a white polish. I'm not that keen in all fairness, but I think that's because I like to keep things plain. Boring ZzzZzz!

£3.99
