This is advertised as "Sparkly duo-chrome that shifts in the light from gold to turquoise." but it looks like a sparkly lemon yellow, slightly greenish and I don't see the turquoise anywhere. Not as pretty as the photo, either. Yet, it is great to mix with other cool or warm colours as it is very subtle. It is not as hardly pressed as other shadows of the same brand I own, something that I dislike, as it crumbles easily resulting in product waste. Overall very pretty. This shadow wears well all day long even when I don't use eye primer, and it doesn't smudge.Like all the Lethal Cosmetics eye-shadow range it is a sustainable good quality product, something important to me.

Lethal Cosmetics Pressed Eye Shadow (Mantis)
I'm a fan of Lethal Cosmetics eye-shadows as they look great on me and I get so many compliments on every single colour I put on. This shadow looks a bit different from the pan to the eye. I thought it would be a light warm peach, but it is a mix of peach and cold pink, so it looks beautiful. The golden flair is not so noticeable as in other multi-chrome shadows. Not what I expected, but still a wonderful colour that enhances my eye colour. This product is vegan, cruelty free and the packaging is made of a very cool folded cardboard, so totally recyclable, all of which is very important to me.

Lethal Cosmetics Pressed eyeshadow (Untamed)
I'm a fan of Lethal Cosmetics eye-shadows. I get so many compliments on them, that I'm the best ambassador for the brand. This shadow is one of my favourite ones of lately because I used to mix similar hues in the past, but now I have them together mixed in this gorgeous duo-chrome. The colours are clearly noticeable but subtle at the same time. This shadow wears well all day long even when I don't use eye primer, and it doesn't smudge. It looks great on my hazel eyes. A bit pricey but totally worth it. This product is vegan, cruelty free and the packaging is made of a very cool folded cardboard, so totally recyclable.

Derwent Tinted Charcoal Pencil, Green Moss TC15
I love this colored charcoal pencil range. They're certainly charcoal, but made of a very soft one that spreads easily (with your fingertips or with water) and mixes perfectly with soft pastels and any water-soluble supply. They're wonderful to do charcoal sketches with a hint of color.
This color is one of the very noticeable hues in the range, with a beautiful soft olive tone that blends well with any of the other green and blue hues.
An average sharpener works well with these pencil as long as you don't over sharp.
I bought this item in a promotion, so the price was fantastic, but they're usually a bit pricey.
Derwent Tinted Charcoal Pencil, Mountain Blue TC11
This color is one of the very noticeable hues in the range, with a beautiful soft deep greenish grayish blue that blends beautifully with other blues and greens. The color of the pencil is shown on the top, which comes handy to choose.
These pencils are certainly charcoal, but made of a very soft one that spreads easily by using my fingertips or a wet brush. They are perfect to combine with soft pastels, water-soluble crayons, watercolors or just to use with normal charcoal to do sketches that are still neutral in nature, but have a hint of color.

Five Star Stand 'N Store Pencil Pouch
Super-light good quality mesh pouch that holds a good deal of pens and pencils. Even my tall Tombows, can be put comfortably in. Unlike other vertical holders, the pouch has a rigid lower body with a fold-down upper body. The upper part has a small inner pouch perfect for a small eraser or USB. The lower body is made of sturdy light mesh. Good zip. The two lateral holders that can be used for different purposes, to hand them from a backpack or put them on a wall or desk holder. The main downside is that the product is sold in assorted colors but you cannot choose the one you get. I got one with the upper in green, which I found convenient to put all my green stationery there.
