My eyes lately have been looking pretty tired, I have not been getting much sleep for a while, so I am always looking a little rundown.  This meant it was the perfect time to try these DHC Revitalising Moisture Strips. They contain Aloe to refresh,  olive leaf extract to hydrate and Soy to firm. You get 6 pouches which contain 2 strips in each, these have an RRP of £6.95

They were unlike anything I have ever tried, I thought they'd be very flimsy and paper-like. They really were not. They had a soft layer of fabric on one side and a cold refreshing gel layer on the other side. The instructions recommend to put them under your eyes for 20-30 minutes after cleansing. I did this twice a week. I have to say when I had them on I felt very relaxed, they were very cooling on my skin.

 The effect after I used them was amazing. My skin felt smoother, it looked healthier and has a slight glow to it that it didn't have before. My skin did feel very hydrated and quenched too, so I was really impressed. Sadly these effects were temporary, it didn't last very long (3-4 hours max) For my skin they did work, but not for as long as I would have liked. I think maybe next time I should try leave them on all night for some intense conditioning, but for a quick fix it just didn't work for me.

Smiggle Where A Smile Meets A Giggle

Smiggle Where A Smile Meets A Giggle 
 

Smiggle Is an Australian brand that has just launched in the UK. It specialises in stationary and technology (e.g. Headphones).

When is comes down to stationary I am a total geek! For some reason I find stationary shopping as fun as shoe shopping, and anyone who know me knows that shoe shopping is my favourite past time, after all it was Marilyn Monroe who said 'Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world!' Anyways (off topic) you can imagine how excited I was when I started to use and test some of Smiggle's stationary! 

I am currently studying my GCSEs I actually found out I only have 40 school days left till I start taking my exams and I received my official exam time table today (I will be finished with school forever on June 19th) but for now this means it's hardcore revision! I am talking posters everywhere, flashcards stuck to my fridge and sticky notes stuck all around the screen of my Mac. Like a lot of students, colours really help make the important bits stand out, which is why these 30 Gel pens are perfect! Filled with smelly, glitter and pastel gel pens, there is no way that the symbol equation for Photosynthesis won't get stuck in my head. I love the smelly ones, not only do my revision notes look amazing the smell it too! I did however find one or two colours that didn't seem to work, but I have a pack of 30 I still have 28 fabulous colours left!

These big chunky headphones are the ultimate accessory for doing my art GCSE exam sketch book. They block out pretty much all sound around me (which is what I need when I am working) and allow me to get lost into the world of music and art. The bass on them is amazing too, there is no nasty tinny sound, only crystal clear music ( The Beatles, Rolling stones, Arctic Monkeys and Bowie with a little Adam and the Ants thrown in there). They are also adjustable which is really helpful if you have a big head like me! I did find that after about 2 hours of wearing them non stop I did start to get a little head ache, but I think part of that is down to my poor eye sight and concentrating too long! Did I mention they look totally fabulous and trendy!?

How cute is this Lolly Pop Rubber!?

When revising I am always in need of LOTS of stationary! This orange zippy pencil case is beyond amazing, I have never seen anything like it! very clever. Although I never know which zip to open, and end up opening a zip right at the bottom allowing all my stationary to fall out - oops!

I always seem to lose my rubbers, so this massive rubber for 'really big mistakes' is great I will never have to worry about misplacing my rubber again! same with this very cute orange Lolly Pop rubber (which matches the pencil case) how could I possible lose something as sweet as this?
The blue calculator and ruler will be perfect for my maths exam and the sharpener is great for everything.
I feel all the above are the necessities of a pencil case, to be truly organised, which is really important at GCSEs. Even if your not taking GCSEs you could still have so much fun with all these bits and bobs! Smiggle have lots of other amazing things, why not have a look at their website.

DKNY Be Delicious

DKNY Be Delicious

    

DKNY Be Delicious is widely known across the world, and rightly so. The dark vivid green and apple shaped bottle is hard to forget. The Roundness of the bottle is lovely to clasp in the hand, and I have never seen another green perfume before, I love the fact that it's green in my opinion, perfume should smell good and look pretty, and Be Delicious ticks all the boxes!

As soon as you smell it, it's clear that there is the lovely green apple smell. It's light and fruity, it has the right balance of musk and sweetness which makes it the perfect fragrance to wear anywhere at any time of day. A city girl, a school girl or a working woman could wear this and it would fit perfectly with them, the scent is versatile which I find is rare in perfumes. In the top notes there is the unique and very special American Apple smell, this was created especially for DKNY, so it is going to be hard to replicate this gorgeous scent, making it even more special and niche.

In the top notes contain Cucumber, Grapefruit and White Magnolia, giving the fruity scent. There are hints of Tuberose with White Muguet, Rose and Violet as well as Sandalwood. As you can see there are hints of exotic flowers, fruit and musky wood, that combines and balances on another out.

The scent lasts for hours and is not to heavy, a 50ml bottle retails for £48.00 which for a scent that can be worn by everyone at anytime is pretty reasonable. I personally love it the most after about an hour of wearing it, it's quite fruity once it's just been sprayed but after it has dried and been worn a little, I can't get enough!

How cute are these Cake pops that cam with my package! They look as good as they tasted!
