Revlon ColorStay 16 Hour Eyeshadow

I use this eyeshadow daily! I am a big fan of Revlon products other than their primer lol.  I have been trying to find what the product contains but I cant seem to find it anywhere!

Revlon ColorStay ( theres not a u - this feels odd for me lol ) eyeshadow states that it lasts up to 16 hours and is silky smooth, blendable and will not smudge. You can get this in 16 quad shades and the above shade is Addictive and these are around £7.99. 

This does come with an eyeshadow applicator but I lost it. I tend to always loose bits like that but they are usually rubbish anyway!

I don't tend to wear bright eyeshadow as it doesn't really suit me and I don't feel bold enough to wear colour! I chose Addictive because it was nice and natural but you can get some brighter shades.  As you can see from the picture I tend to use just the one shade which is no.2 over the base of my lid and they would add eyeliner.  On the odd occasion I will use every shade like the picture demonstrates above which also looks nice and I love that Revlon has a picture on the back of the product on how you can wear it.

The above pictures is me with all the shades, sorry the pictures are not better quality! I also don't have any mascara on in the pictures.

Now I cant say I have worn this for 16 hours but it does last me for at least 8 hours when I wore it to work.  Its really easy to apply and blendable and gives a nice finish. Its definitely one that will stay in my make up bag for a while!

Blanx White Shock Intensive Whitening Treatment

I bought this because I saw a few reviews saying how good it was. I always want my teeth to look whiter not that they are badly yellow but I still think they can be improved. I have previously used Crest 3D whitening strips which although they can cause tooth sensitivity they are the best home whitening treatment I have used. Plus I already have sensitive teeth anyway so the sensitivity part doesn't bother me!

This claims to have teeth up to 4 shades whiter in just 2 weeks and it does not contain peroxide which means no tooth sensitivity! You have to use this 2-3 times daily with the toothpaste provided and then use the Blanx LED light for a minute after brushing. They also recommend to use the bite for 10 minutes once a week for a more 'shocking' whiteness. It comes with a shade chart to measure before and after results.

I found the toothpaste was a bit tough to pump out but maybe I am really weak! The toothpaste doesn't taste horrible, its a mild mint. Once you have brushed your teeth and once you have finished with the LED light, when you switch the light off it makes a beep noise, I don't really find this necessary as you know its off as the light isn't on.

Now the 2 weeks have passed and I haven't really noticed any results maybe just a really minimal and I mean minimal change that no one would notice other then me (hence no pictures of before and after). As this was £15.99 I think it was pretty expensive for what it is and I think I will stick to Crest and their peroxide or get my teeth done professionally!

Have you guys tried any whitening treatments?

On to my Questions & Answers:

1. Name a beauty routine you rarely do.

I bought lots of products to have a skin care regime and at first I used to follow it and use every product but now I just use the one or two instead of doing the whole regime. But I have found from doing this my skin has cleared more!

2. Is washing your makeup brushes something you do regularly?

I probably should do it more then what I do but when I do clean them I clean them for ages! I do clean my foundation brush fairly often though.

3. How long will you last with chipped nail varnish?

It depends on how bad the chips are! I dont like chipped nail polish but sometimes I can keep it on for a while but if its quick drying polish I dont mind sorting it out.

4. How long do you put off buying/replacing a beauty or nail polish product even if you need it (i.e. - top coat, foundation, etc.)?

I am always buying new beauty products, I buy more beauty products then I do clothes! But as soon as I know something is getting low I will get it as soon as I can.

5. What is your worst beauty habit?

I dont really do anything with my hair, I dont get it cut often, dont really style it. I find this a bit weird as I did hairdressing but I enjoy doing other peoples hair just not mine! I dont even use heat protector that often, but my hairdresser does always comment on how healthy and good condition my hair is in :)

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off all the time.

Texting people back. I read the text and think I will respond later but I never do because I forget!

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready until the last minute or not?

Nope, I dont like the feeling that I have to rush so I always get ready in advance and always am ready early which I then hate having to wait.

8. Can you commit to spending bans?

No, spending is a big problem of mine... I just cant stop, though if I am saving for something like a course I have learnt I can! :)

9. How organized is your makeup and nail polish collections?

All my nail polishes are in a box and my make up is all on my shelf so it isnt too bad, my make up just isnt that neat on the shelf.

10. What is the longest time you've gone without writing a blog post?

I dont actually know, I just try to do them as much as I can and as and when I have time :)
