New Beauty Products...

Hi people!
If you've seen some of my slightly older posts then you will know that I like to do what I call my Latest Beauty Obsessions posts. Basically they're about beauty products that I've been using a lot more recently and that I really like and want to share with you.
No, this post isn't one of those posts but I wanted to do something a little bit different. I'm going to do a New Beauty Products post. Which is where I tell you what new stuff I've got recently (or stuff that I got ages ago but still haven't tried yet!) and what they are meant to do. Then if I like them I will try to include them in another Beauty Obsessions post. Simples! I hope so anyway... ;) On to the post!
 
 
 
First up is something that I got only yesterday, it is a Tangle Attack brush! Now, I have heard about these for a while now (plus my friend has one) and it is meant to brush out tangles in your hair much easier than a normal hairbrush. And from what I've heard its really good! One of my little cousins has really curly hair and my Auntie had been saying it was hard to brush out the tangles so I thought I'd tell her about it as an idea. She went out and found one and while she got my cousin one, she got me one! So she gave it to my Grandma to give to me when she came down here yesterday. So thanks for that if you're reading! :)
 
 
Moving on to another product for your hair! I'm pretty sure you can guess what this is - hair chalk! I know that it has been around for a while now and this Opia hair chalk set from Primark has been sitting around for quite a long time (since my Autumn Shopping haul, I think!) in my room. And I still haven't managed to find time to use it! That is not entirely my fault though, I'm just really scared that it doesn't wash out as easily as it says so I have to find time in one holiday but I either end up forgetting or am really busy (or lazy!) because our school doesn't allow you to have colourful hair.
 
Anyway, this Opia hair chalk set includes two different colours, pastel blue and pink with a pair of little tongs to slide the hair chalk blocks into and so I guess its easier to apply to your hair. Also, if you know how well hair chalk washes out, please comment down below and tell me!
 
 
Next up is Solutions Makeup Removing eye pads from Avon. I recently starting wearing heavier eye makeup like eyeliner and more layers of eye shadow and obviously that is harder to get off with normal face wipes (which you're not actually meant to do anyway but I'm a lazy person) so I have started using eye pads to get it off (which are actually meant for taking off eye makeup!) My Mum got this for me at some point and as soon as I've finished my other pack of eye pads which will be easy because I only have one pad left I'll start these.
 
 
I got this a fairly long time ago when I was shopping in Boots. It is part of the Visibly Clear range by Neutrogena that I rave on about a LOT. This product is the Spot Stress Control 3 in 1 Daily Cleansing Lotion. Its the first time I've noticed that it says lotion. Hmmm... can't say I can see how it is a lotion but there you go! Basically, its meant to do what almost all of their other products do in one product which is deeply cleanse, reduces excess oil and shine, and help to clear spots. And you are meant to use a cotton pad to wipe it onto your face without rinsing. Sounds clever anyway!

 
A Body Shop product - yay! I also got this aaaages ago, like around Christmas. Yeah, it was Christmas, because I was looking in there for presents! Anyway, I really wanted it and I think it was part of an offer I'm not sure but it is a bar of soap (no, really? Sarcasm intended.) which is Shea scent and I know that it smells nice as I think I remember smelling it in the shop. Don't know when I'm going to use it though because I don't have my own bathroom and I am NOT sharing... Not with the boys in my family anyway!
 
 
I got this in Superdrug fairly recently so finally something that is properly new! I know I haven't mentioned it much but I am a big Mixer (fan of Little Mix)! I had seen this All About The Eyes palette by Little Mix with Collection loads of times and I never got the chance to buy it but this time I did because there was some sort of offer on at the time that meant you could get 3 different products in the shop for less and get a free #makeup bag (#makeup was the slogan on the bag). I wonder if I will look as pretty as them if I wear these eyeshadows... haha jk ;)
 
 
One of the other things I got as part of that offer (and what I actually went into Superdrug for) was this Work The Colour Eyebrow Kit by Collection. I am so so sorry that the photo is really bad but I rushed it because after I'd typed up about the eye shadow palette I had realised I was going to write about this and I hadn't got a picture! Anyway, now I'm back. I've always used powder for filling in my brows because I personally think it looks more natural but that's just my opinion.
 
I thought that this kit was quite good as it has a mini double-ended brush which makes it handy for travel and there are three different shades, blonde, brown and very dark brown/black. I use the middle shade (brown) for my eyebrows. It also had a clear brow mascara but I'm not really bothered about using that.

 
The last beauty product! Yes, I am extremely late but I needed (wanted) it so much that I was prepared to buy it a long time after it came out! I got the big You & I set which includes the little candle alongside the perfume. I absolutely love the scent! And I'm not just saying that because I'm a directioner. I mean I still have Our Moment (I'm saving it - if that's a little weird!) and I thought that was a great perfume scent! I think that Our Moment and You & I are quite different because Our Moment is slightly sweeter while You & I is slightly stronger. Then again, I'm definitely not a perfume expert!
 
That was all for this post. Hope you liked it. If you have tried any of these things out then feel free to tell me in the comments down below or if you have bought anything yourself recently and you want to tell me (and other viewers) what its like.
Sorry this post was late (again!) but I have been busy for the whole the weekend. I guess it was lucky having a Bank Holiday Monday off (a UK thing, if you are from another part of the world) so I could have time to post it today otherwise I don't know when I would've posted it! Anyway, until next time, bye xx
**Btw, I have a big English exam tomorrow and on Thursday I have... Wait for it... Dreaded jabs. Not just one! Oh no, two! And I'm not going to lie, I am a little bit scared! If that makes me a wimp, so be it! So wish me luck on both of them (especially the exam!)**
