Pandora love

As you know I love dainty jewellery so today I thought I would write about my ever expanding Pandora collection;- the experts of dainty jewellery in my opinion. 
I purchased my first Pandora bracelet a few years ago and wear it regularly. I decided to opt for a Black leather bracelet because it is something that would go with many different outfits. I feel the leather bracelets can be worn casually or with more dressy outfits, along as they are stacked with other dainty silver bracelets. Recently I added the Double cream leather bracelet* to my collection. Again I chose this because it can be worn anytime, I love the colour of this bracelet and its a little different to the regular ones as it wraps around the arm twice.
I have a long list of charms I want to add to my bracelets but also like the look of them as they are. I suppose if you are wanting to collect lots of charms I would personally opt for the silver Pandora bracelet rather than the leather as you can’t put more than a few charms on it. I currently have a cute little heart charm and hope to get the little cupcake charm next.
I also have two Pandora rings, one of which is the Opal birthstone ring - I picked it out because I liked the colour and was assured by the sales assistant many people do this haha. I also have the Pandora Star ring* which they have newly launched for the Christmas collection. I think they look nice together.
I am very much a Pandora fan and hope to expand on my collection. I love the bracelets because you are able to find a charm for every occasion/milestone in your life and it just makes it all the more sentimental. The jewellery is timeless and of good quality. The rings look gorgeous stacked together, I love the way the sales assistants stack their jewellery. Pinterest also has some really good Pandora stacking ideas. They can of course be worn on their own too.
This is the ideal Christmas present for people of all ages. My Pandora wish list is ever growing, they have so many pieces I really want. (I hope I get to open a Pandora package on the 25th!)
Hope you enjoyed this post, do you have anything from Pandora? What do you think of the brand?

Teeth whitening | Beverly Hills Formula black toothpaste

Many of you who follow me on Twitter or have been followers of my blog for a long while now will know about my obsession for white teeth. I mean the fake white teeth that celebs have. I have even contemplated getting porcelain vaneers in the whitest shade to feed my obsession. (but that idea went swiftly out the window when I realised they cost over £1k  per tooth!)

A few years back I started using the Crest Teeth Whitening strips and with that my teeth have gotten considerably whiter, white enough for people to ask me what I use and also if they are real?! The only problem I have found is that I am now having to use the whitening strips a lot sooner each time as it wears off quicker. Crest recommends every year or so and while this was doable all those years ago I can just about go 3 months without them now. I don’t drink caffeine or have fizzy drinks either. Maybe Crest have changed the amount of peroxide they put in them?

Anyways back to the point of this post. I have been looking for an alternative for a while. Mainly a product thats easy to use, cheap and doesn’t make your teeth sensitive. After scouring blogs for a while I came across many reviews and recommendations of  the new Beverly Hills Formula - Perfect White black toothpaste*. So for someone who hasn’t tried anything from the brand before I thought now would be a good a time as any to test it out.

The tooth paste itself is black, yes you read that right but don’t worry because once you start brushing your teeth it turns white. It contains activated charcoal which is known for removing tannins from your teeth, thus making your teeth whiter. I have only been using this a few days and noticed the results from Day 1 and as the days progress my teeth are considerably more brighter and a lot whiter. This is the fastest result I have ever had from a teeth whitening product and surprisingly it was from a toothpaste! This will save me so much money and also I won’t have to deal with sensitive teeth again. I just find that along with pearly whites comes a ton of confidence, after all "A smile is a girls best accessory”.

I could go on but I shall leave it there. Overall I am so excited to have come across this product, something that actually works with quick results. It is also nice and minty! I am SO excited infact that I have just placed a huge order on Superdrug.com and stocked up on these because they are half price just now at £2.48! Move over Crest, this toothpaste is definitely so much better.

I also have one to giveaway which is perfect before Christmas! Just follow the steps below to be in for a chance of winning.

Illamasqua Precision Gel eyeliner - Infinity

 

I remember back in the day when I first got into watching youtube videos and reading blogs how much this product was raved about; - the Illamasqua Precision Gel eyeliner* of course.
The gel eyeliner from Illamasqua is definitely a product I would class as being ‘worth the hype’. 
I have never used a gel eyeliner before purely because I thought they took quite some skill to apply, and yes I am a die hard liquid liner kinda gal too. Thankfully though and to my surprise may I add this gel eyeliner applied very easily. The texture of the gel is just the right consistency, this gives you better control over how much you are applying. I guess that’s why precision is in the name.
I have been testing the Illamasqua Gel eyeliner in Infinity for quite a few weeks now and absolutely love it. I found the  Real Techniques Fine liner brush (£6.99) works perfectly alongside it. The Illamasqua gel liner comes in a 5g pot which will last you a good while. Compared to cheaper brands the Illamasqua gel eyeliner won’t dry up as quick. You can just feel the quality throughout the whole product.
I love the pigmentation of this gel liner, it really is the blackest of blacks. Which of course is perfect for a signature cat eye look or even a dramatic night time look. I sometimes find that liquid liner flakes off but didn’t have that problem with the gel liner, if anything I needed to use a good eye makeup remover to take it off as it stays on so good.
Overall I love this gel eyeliner, at £18 it is a high end beauty product but for the quality it is totally worth it. 
Do let me know if you have tried this eyeliner or what you think of it? All I need now is for Illamasqua to come out with a navy and olive green one and then I’ll be even happier. :)
