Urban Decay have finally decided to release new lip glosses! This time, they're Naked.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The range of lip glosses are due to hit stores in the UK on 1st Feb 2014, and are all under the Naked range by UD. The lip glosses come in 9 shades ranging from light nudes to nude pinks and plum shades. The shade above is called Walk Of Shame and is one of the nude shades available, it reminds me of the shades that look like the cliche your lips but better.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">What is one of the best things about these glosses is that not only are they infused with TONS of lip care benefits and how pigmented they are but the consistency is not gloomy or sticky but feels more like a liquid balm! These are amazing!! The Naked Glosses give amazing lip dimension and in doing so give your lips that plump look, minus the tingle and the gloop! No more sticky lips and hair stuck onto lip drama! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The price range is TBC until they hit stores but my guess is that they will retail around the £14-£16 mark. Totally worth it for the product you're getting, you can guarantee you will find a shade for you! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The packaging is beyond beautiful, linking with the Naked 3 Palette, it showcases a magnificent rose gold hardware with see through letters showing the shade of the gloss, which can also be seen at the bottom of the case, too. The doe foot applicator is on point at allowing maximum application onto lips and will give you enough to cover your lips without having you go back for a second application, you get that beautiful glossy lip in just one swipe! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">* I work at Urban Decay and was lucky enough to be given this to try out, I have not been asked to do a review, these are my own opinions on the product. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">ARE YOU EXCITED???</div><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-9De5zDgUALo/UuZxRL4zT7I/AAAAAAAABXI/KS7wbb0ws4U/s640/blogger-image-831204627.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-9De5zDgUALo/UuZxRL4zT7I/AAAAAAAABXI/KS7wbb0ws4U/s640/blogger-image-831204627.jpg"></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17064869099071561422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700142608002491545.post-73053377025611266132014-01-09T15:03:00.002+00:002014-01-09T15:03:53.344+00:00HAVE YOU GOT NAKED YET?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123932030999_-1" target="_blank">Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette £37.00</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know that the Naked 3 has had tons of reviews already, especially since a few bloggers were given some to review prior to release, I thought I would still put my 2 cents in. Being lucky enough to work for Urban Decay, myself and my colleagues were able to purchase a palette each prior to the stock being put out for sale (lucky me!) and I've had a while to play around with the colours at home and work to get a good feel for them!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The palette retails at £37.00, which is the same as Naked and Naked 2, and you get 12 beautiful shades starting from a matte flesh tone all the way down through rose gold, pink, brown and taupe mattes and shimmers, ending with a BEAUTIFUL darkest brown/black shade which has little red/pink flecks of glitter in. The palette also comes with a double ended brush, one end being a flat brush and the other a blending brush. An added bonus is a strip of each of the Primer Potions, holding a weeks worth of each!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's a swatch of each colour with flash on, since with flash you'll be able to see any shimmer or glitter better:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GkrttiSTa-w/Us608N3sprI/AAAAAAAABWU/eCe5hDs4jh4/s1600/Fotor0109144037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GkrttiSTa-w/Us608N3sprI/AAAAAAAABWU/eCe5hDs4jh4/s1600/Fotor0109144037.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My favourite shades have to be Limit, Trick, Nooner, Factory, Darkside and Blackheart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My least favourite shades or shade should I say is Dust...because that's exactly what it is...Dust. It's nice when applied on top of a primer so that it sticks to the liquid or used as a highlight when used sparingly...but I do find it hard to incorporate in a look since the consistency is pretty granular like and is hard to blend into other shadows. I do think on the other hand, it would look good if used on a wet brush to create a wet look eye shadow. I'm indifferent to the other shades unmentioned, they're all nice shades used on their own and with other colours but they're not anything to get excited about. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> All in all the palette is a good investment if you love day time shadows or want something that you can transition from day to evening without hassle. At £37, it's a bargain for how many shades you're getting, and with the vast array of colours to play with, you can't go wrong. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The packaging is also beautiful, with its rose gold hardware and ridged top, it stands out in my palette collection. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would definitely recommend this palette to anyone who loves their pink/brown/taupe hues or needs a nice daytime palette that can take them into the evening. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Moondust collection is a variant of fine glitter eyeshadows, all having different undertones to them. What I like the most about this product, apart from its obvious beauty, is the almost wet look effect it gives which is<i> very</i> sexy, and it can be either sheered right down to a light, fine and flirty effect, or once built upon, has the potential to create a very bold and sexy glittery eye make up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Space Cowboy is an amazing peach/flesh toned shade that compliments<b> ALL</b> skin types and shades. It can be worn alone to create the wet look I've mentioned, or built upon any colour to give you that beautiful glittery eye. This particular shade sells like hot cakes due to its undertone, because like I mentioned, it suits <b>all</b> shades from very pale to very dark tone skin. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I find myself applying this on top of all my eye makeup, I am literally addicted to it! I really urge you to try and get your hands on this if you're around an Urban Decay counter, you won't be disappointed!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>I have <i>no</i> faults with this product, and here's why:</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1.</b> You have hardly any fall out since the glitter particles are very fine, and if one or two do fall underneath or onto the face they are easily swiped off using a fluffy brush. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2.</b>The product costs<b> £14.00</b> and you have <b>1.5g</b>, which is a lot considering you don't need much at all to get the effect you see in the pan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3.</b> It can be used to create many looks, and used on top of any shade imaginable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4.</b> It doesn't matter what skin tone you are, you will be able to rock any of the colours!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5.</b>It has<i> amazing</i> durability, even without a primer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The only thing I would stress is to make sure you don't leave the lid on the container open for long periods of time, the product is a solid and tends to dry out when left open. If it's treated with care, the moonshine shadows can last a very very long time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm in love! I'm planning on getting all of the shades soon! Have you tried the moonshine shadow collection? Let me know in the comments if you have and which one you like the most!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you have all had a fantastic new year, and I wish you all the best of luck, love, happiness and prosperity for 2014!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can't believe we're already at the end of July!?! Feels like this year is whizzing by, before we know it, we'll be running around like headless chickens in preparation for Christmas! Anyway, before we get all depressed and start to wonder where the year is going, I have my July favourites for you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. <a href="http://www.muastore.co.uk/index.php/12-shade-palette-heaven-and-earth" target="_blank">MUA Heaven & Earth Palette</a> and the <a href="http://www.muastore.co.uk/index.php/12-shade-undressed-palette" target="_blank">MUA Undressed Palette</a> both £4.00 - I've found myself using these two palettes continuously this past month! They both have every nude/natural colour you could want, and since I love a good natural eye, these two palettes have had my back. They both contain 12 shades each, and consist of both matte and shimmer shadows, so they're both fantastic to keep in your bag so you can switch your eye look up through day to evening if you're off out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Shimmering brush on powder in Heaven Sent</a> £3.50 - I was wondering around in ASDA and was looking through the makeup section when I saw the George stand, which is ASDA's own clothing and makeup brand. I saw this shimmer brick and thought it looked so pretty, almost like a sunset effect. The colours are beautiful and I couldn't help but pick it up, at £3.50 it's a steal. The powder has 5 different colours which can be used all together to create a beautiful peach/pink flush or separate It isn't too powdery and the pigmentation is AMAZING. I'd definitely recommend having a browse next time you're in your local ASDA, the selection of makeup is fantastic.</span></div>

From other reviews, it's apparently very much like NARS Orgasm which I have never tried so I can't really comment on that but from the reviews and pictures it does seem very very similar It has an amazing subtle gold sheen which looks amazing. I'm going to be doing a full review very soon so keep your eyes peeled!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Around two weeks ago, I was in Superdrug and was on the hunt for a cheap instant self tanner since I was going out with my friends that night and didn't want to look super pasty. Rimmel had just released this water resistant instant tanner and I was keen to try it because of it being water resistant. I bought it in Medium Matte, because the lighter tans never really show up on my skin enough. They did have others with shimmer in, but I didn't want the tan to look obviously fake (provided it didn't come out orange or green mind!). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once I got home and prepared my skin, I lathered it on with my hand...yep big mistake. My hand was a dirty brown colour and I had to scrub to get it off! My hands ended up blood red! I used a tanning mitt to finish the skin off. The colour thankfully wasn't orange or greenish at all. It looked like I was beautifully sun kissed and brown. It blended well too, and I had no streaks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now for the bad bit....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">it isn't so water resistant in places. It started to come off around my chest area when I accident;y got water on there from washing my hands, and by the end of the night I was patchy and had stripes...actual stripes like a tiger. Wasn't sexy, wasn't cute. I jumped in the bath straight away when I got home and scrubbed! It came off on my clothes too... I know it's a instant tanner which tend to be wash off, but this is also water resistant and I solely bought it in the bid for it not to streak whilst I was out in a boiling hot bar. I think it would be okay if I used it for a day out where I wasn't active and wasn't going to sweat or get hot. Nonetheless I don't think it is very water resistant unless you get it on rough skin like the palms of your hand. You'd have to make your hands bleed to get it off there!...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all, I give it a 4/10. I just don't think it's that water resistant. The colour is beautiful, and easy to blend. If only it does what it's meant to! I think I'll stick to my normal St. Moriz :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi ladies!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So since it's finally summer, and pretty hot in the UK at the moment, I've noticed that I've been opting for lip tints over lipsticks. There's nothing worse when your lipstick runs down your mouth and chin in heat, so I choose lip tints during the day and for nights out. So, here are my favourite lip tints that I own!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are the swatches....</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is my most favourite lip stain ever. Its the most perfect red lip tint that I've found and the pigment is absolutely AMAZING. I love wearing this on nights out, since it lasts all night and doesn't budge when drinking or eating. What pleases me the most is that as it wears off, it doesn't leave a product around your lips and nothing in the middle, and fades nicely. You will still have a nice colour by the end of the night despite not topping up.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've had this lip tint for absolutely ages, and it's still going strong (even if I do have to rub hard into my lips!), I'm still able to get colour pay off. It's a lovely rose colour and would suit all skin types! I'm not sure if you can still get this on the high street but you should be able to get your hands on it online.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rimmel 1000 kisses lip tints are by far one of the best lip tints on the market. I love the colour pay off from them, and Carry On Cherry is my favourite of the two! It's a pretty cherry colour, and makes your lips look a lovely bitten red whilst looking natural. The balms that they come with are a must though as with just the tint your lips can end up a little dry.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like I said above, Rimmel 1000 kisses lip tints are amazing, and Perpetual Plum is an amazing deep raspberry colour. I love putting this on when I'm wearing hardly any make up as this tends to make my face/skin/eyes pop!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got this lip tint in a glossy box last year and it's still going strong! You only need the tiniest amount to get amazing colour pay off, and it looks like 'your lips but better' (cringe!). It's not very moisturising so a clear balm would work well applied over it. What's even more amazing is that it can be used as a blusher too! It's perfect for everyday wear, to put into your bag on your travels. It's my must have for summer too because it's so easy to use, you get so much out of it and it's the perfect tint for the beach! At £20, it's a bit expensive for a lip tint but it's worth the pennies. I will definitely buy it again.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been looking around for a good heat defence spray for a long time now, since my TRESemme Heat defence ran out, I was keen to try a new one. Nothing really caught my eye until I found the Aussie shelf in my local Boots. Ding-Ding we have a winner!Who doesn't love and trust Aussie hair care?! I found the Take The Heat leave-in spray, which has Australian Jojoba seed oil to nourish the hair whilst the rest of the product is protecting your locks from the heat produced by blow dryers, hair curlers and hair straighteners. I love spritzing this in when my hair is wet because the formula is pretty wet but feels nourishing, so I hope that by putting it in whilst my hair is still wet, my locks will soak it up with the water. I've definitely seen a difference in my hairs look and manageability since using this spray. Usually my hair will feel straw like after a few hours of my using of curlers or dryers, but when using the leave-in spray, it's definitely more silky, less frizzy and holds any style I challenge my hair to hold throughout the day. The only thing I would want different is the spritzer, as it doesn't spritz enough and it isn't mist like, almost just squirting a line of product out, which is hard to distribute throughout the hair because it only covers a small section when you spray, so you end up spraying the same part a few times.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, this is a superb heat defence spray. It offers a lot to your tresses, by keeping them in good shape with the Australian Jojoba seed oil and also protecting your hair from breakage by frying your hair! Plus, who doesn't love Aussie hair care?! They're my most coveted hair care brand for years!<br />
<br />
Have you tried the Take The Heat leave-in spray? What's your favourite Aussie Product?</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't usually like to post about very expensive lotions and potions because let's be honest, we aren't all lucky enough to pop into Selfridges whenever we'd like (I'm certainly not!), but I really thought this eye balm from Crème De La Mer deserved a post dedicated to it's fabulousness!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At £130.00 a pop, these little pots are very much on the pricier side of the eye crème scale and thank baby Jesus I was fortunate enough to be gifted this from my mother. There is no way that I would of been able to part with that much money for an eye crème especially with my income and lack of knowledge on how this product would suit me or, what it would do for me. I can now say that even though it's not exactly obtainable with a months wages, (if I want to pay my bills and have a social life) I would most likely save for it. Yep, I would most definitely purchase it again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The packaging is pretty and rather elegant looking, it looks lovely sitting on your dressing table thanks to it's lovely ceramic pot. Don't leave it near burning candles though like I did, as you can see by the second picture it's rather burnt on one side! I really like the fact that you could always re use the pots and put little bits in it, like ear studs. That's my plan anyway! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On to the product...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The consistency is creamy and non oily, and green, which I don't mind since I associate green face products with cooling, and this is definitely what this crème does. I love lathering this on before bed or in the mornings if I'm not going to wear make up. I also suffer from hay fever and get really bad drying around my eyes due to rubbing and tears, so I find myself grabbing this to ease discomfort. I also really like that it doesn't sting your eyes, I always tend to weep from my eyes because of how sensitive they are, gladly this doesn't make me want to rip my eyes out. That would suck. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like I said, it's non oily, but VERY moisturising If you suffer from dryness around your eyes, you will most likely find that this would sort that out over night. Even for those that have an oily eye area, you could use this and it wouldn't cause more oil to sit on the skin, as it sinks right into the eye area and leaves no residue. Just because you have an oily eye area, it doesn't mean that your eyes don't still need some TLC girl!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also notice that when I use this, it helps my dark eye circles. I'm not really sure why, it may be the cooling effect but I definitely see a difference once it's applied and sunk in. It also says on the back that it can also be used on other delicate areas, and I tend to use this around my upper lip (to protect myself from wrinkles/dreaded prune mouth) and décolletage. Any area where there is thin skin, those areas should be paid special attention to when it comes to lotions. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all, yes it is super pricey but it's worth every penny! I will be purchasing this again when I've ran out, which looks to be sooner than later!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't believe we are already at the end of june! Seems crazy that we're already in summer, and before we know it we'll be in Autumn freezing cold and complaining... this year is going far too quickly!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll probably know I've done a past review <a href="http://beautyjunkiexo.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/undress-your-skin-illuminating.html" target="_blank">here</a> where I go into more detail. I went through a phase where I didn't actually like it because my skin was breaking out bad and so I put it down to this. A couple of months on, my skin is much better and I've been turning to this as an everyday quick go to foundation and it's not broke me out, phew! It's pretty pale and I'd say a good match to a porcelain fair skin (don't you find a lot of other brands shade of porcelain is pretty dark?!) but I don't use it when I have fake tan on obviously. I really like the coverage and the effect it gives. Read my post on it for more information :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I mentioned this in <a href="http://beautyjunkiexo.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/haul-make-up-edition.html" target="_blank">my recent haul post</a> but didn't go into much detail as I hadn't got a recent feel for it. I used to use this all the time when I was about 16 and absolutely loved it. Obviously since then I've used more mascara's and know what I like and what I don't like. I forgot how cakey it can make your lashes if it's not used correctly and felt disappointed when I initially tried it when I re purchased it. Since then I've been using it after I use my Rimmel scandaleyes mascara and it works perfectly! I use it to thicken my lashes but you do have to be careful not to create a spider effect. I think it's worth buying if you tend to use multiple mascaras.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was pretty excited to get my hands on these, not only because they're so hard to come by in the UK but I've also heard amazing reviews on them! I have an account with Very, and found them on there for £10.. which isn't bad considering the quality and you're also getting two when only one bought separately would probably come to £10 anyway. I really like them so far, I use the concealer wand for under my eyes and the pot for cleaning up around my brows and for blemishes. They're both very creamy too which is a massive plus. I'll be doing a review soon!</span></div>

It wasn't what I was used to when it came to hair oils but this month it's all I've used! I've been using this every time after I wash my hair to put moisture back into my ends and I also use it after styling to tame frizz. It does feel a bit strange, almost like alcohol and smells like it too but nonetheless it does well. They have a few different types of Extraordinary oils, this one has UV filter for coloured hair, which I need since my hair is dyed red!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love primark lashes! If I'm on a budget or broke but need me some glamorous lashes, I'll pop into primark and pick these up. I don't really tend to buy any of the other styles, I tend to like these sort of wispy lashes. Their durability are really good considering it's from Primark. Massive thumbs up.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love lip tints! I tend to opt for these for during the day and even for clubbing as it doesn't budge whilst I'm drinking. If I wear lipstick, it always ends up on my chin and it's pretty annoying so I always keep one of these on me even if I am using lipstick at the beginning of the night. I own two of the shades which are Blushing and Kiss me. I really want to find a true red one! They don't last all day and gradually fade from your lip leaving an outline which doesn't look really obvious. The balm at the end of the tint helps since the tint can be a bit dry, the balm gives a lovely glossy look. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've owned this eye shadow for years and as far as I know it's out of stock on the Urban decay website but you can find it <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/urban-decay-eyeshadow-midnight-cowboy/dp/B0011S0ZKA" target="_blank">here </a>. I've been using this mainly on nights out as it's VERY glittery and would look a bit Edward Cullen ish if worn in the day. It has a lovely beige colour with silver and gold flecks of glitter which look amazing placed in the centre of the lid on almost any eye look. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can probably guess, I'm a big fan of MUA products and think their £1 shadows are amazing for the quality and pigmentation. I use this shade 17 all over my lid. It looks a bit brown in the picture and in the pan but on the skin it transfers as a lovely neutral beige. It's completely matte too and is perfect for everyday wear and as a base for other eye looks.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Isn't the shade pretty? It's a lovely pink/peach lightweight cream to powder blush and looks amazing on fair and tan skin tones. I'm not sure how well it would transfer on darker skin tones as it's pretty lightweight and doesn't have a harsh pigmentation like you'd think it would. I like using this on its own during the day, and then using it at night under <a href="http://beautyjunkiexo.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/my-girl.html" target="_blank">my Dainty doll blusher</a> for more impact. I can't wait to try the other shades from the topshop blush collection</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know I've been gone for a while (approx 4 weeks) but I have a good (ish) reason as to why I haven't been blogging. I moved house! It's been so stressful moving, with trying to make the house a home and not to mention finally setting up the internet so I could get back to what I enjoy most, and that's writing on here. I've been so lost/bored without my blog, it's been pretty painful! Thankfully I'm back online and able to do blogging more often now, especially now I'm finished at college! yay! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since I've accumulated a few products this month, I thought I'd do a little post on what I've managed to get my paws on. I don't usually buy things over an amount of time, I usually go on a big spend on pay day, but I'm trying to be good and not buy things just for the sake of it being pay day ! I've tried to only buy things I'm running low on, or things I know I'll get use out of. My make up draws are over flowing with products I never use and never will get much out of, which needless to say, has made me penny less without getting anything out of it! Annoying!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/No7-Natural-Blush-Tint-Powder_1273442/" target="_blank">No7 Natural Blush tint powder</a> in Honey* - £8.00 <span style="color: red;">Gifted </span>- I was lucky enough to have had this gifted to me by my lovely sister-in-law! I thought I'd add it to my haul anyway! I'm so grateful that I was gifted this, as it's the perfect contour shade for my skin tone! Unlike many bronzers used to contour, they can end up looking orange or muddy. This beautiful honey/taupe colour is just what I've been looking for in a contour shade. The powder itself isn't that horrid powdery substance that can lead to loss of pigment, it packs on to the brush nicely and the pigment is amazing, it also blends superbly. </span></div>

I don't know if that's a good thing! I tested it out on my hand and it was much like a creme blush but once blended, it turns into a powder. I was sold! I've only used it once so far, and like it but trying to get to grips with the formulation!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently treated myself to some bits from Bourjois, and one of them being this lovely blush in Veloute De Peche, which is a peachy hue with tiny bits of shimmer in. I've wanted a nice peach blush for absolutely ages now, and thought I'd give this one a go. It costs £7.49, which is okay for a blush but the pot isn't that big at all. It comes with a little brush that you can apply the product as you go, but mine was falling apart so I didn't include it in the pictures, for some reason the hairs of the brush just fell away from it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although I think it's a really nice colour, it hardly comes out on my skin at all. I don't know if it's because I'm darker than usual but I find that the powder is very powdery and the colour doesn't transfer well. I think this would probably be okay if I didn't tan and was paler, so it's worth a try if you're fair. Like I said though, I wouldn't bother if you're tanned, it just doesn't show up! boo!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want to try out some more of these blushers, though! Have you any ideas about what colours I should try? </span><br />

Your iphone notes start to overflow with lists upon lists of products that you can't wait to get your mitts on. Unfortunately for my bank balance, this has been the case for the past month and these are the products I would happily empty my piggy bank for.</span></div>

I was under the impression from other bloggers posts on Orgasm that it was slightly coral which made me want it more but nonetheless, it's a beautiful colour.</span></div>

A lot of ladies rave about Laguna, and I believe that many use it as a contour powder? I need I need I need.</span></div>

I've heard fantastic things about this, it seems like the perfect foundation for summer. It's light-medium coverage that makes you look healthy and ready to go. I think this product will be the first to be snapped up on my list come pay day.</span></div>

It smells like candy and unicorns and just pure amazingness really. I am terrible at describing scents so that's all I can say, but it is rather sweet so if you don't particularly like sweet scents, I'd steer clear of this one.</span></div>

It looks amazing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. <a href="http://www.escentual.com/bioderma/bioderma015/" target="_blank">Bioderma sensitive 250ml £9.99</a> - What sort of beauty blogger would I be without having had Bioderma in my life?! I know this product has been around for donkeys but I've never really gave into it, plus not to mention is was practically unobtainable in the UK until very recently. Since I'm trying to be more conscious of how I prep my skin before makeup and also before I go to bed, I did a bit of research and this seems to be one of the best cleansers/makeup removers on the market. I am very intrigued and can't wait to give it a whirl.</span></div>

I am addicted to highlighters and use them everyday. I only own one non powder highlighter, and It's nearly run out and I'm also unable to buy it in the shops anymore so I'm buggered.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know about you ladies but, doesn't this time of year make you extra paranoid about your pasty milk bottle legs?! I know it does mine! So what better way to rid the pastiness than a nice bottle of instant fake tan? I love how more confident I feel in dresses and sleeveless tops when I've tanned! I feel healthy looking and did you know... fake tan gives the illusion of a slimmer body? Well if these aren't reasons to give it a go, I don't know what is!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I Purchased this self tanner whilst shopping on good old Fragrance Direct, and was pretty excited when I found it! I've heard a few good things about this self tanner, as it's obviously meant to be a St. Tropez double but for less, and whilst it's on Fragrance Direct it's further discounted to only £2.99!!! I also bought the <a href="http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/st-moriz/st-moriz-self-tan-applicator-mitt/invt/0035669" target="_blank">St. Moriz tanning mitt for £2.99</a> to help apply the product, without getting horrible orange palms/hands.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First off, the smell as you apply is pretty much like soap and not repugnant or anything which makes the application experience less revolting, as I've used some tanners that smell like biscuits straight away. Unfortunately it does develop the dreaded biscuit smell overnight and you'll start to smell it up to 2 hours after application. I think it's just the product doing its thing, so I don't mind smelling awfully sickly for one night, as I tend to shower when I wake up to get rid of excess product and the smell! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The product itself is dispensed through a pump which is easy to use. It's all very standard for a self tanner in a pump. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DocQiKmpZUI/UY-gp6g6zeI/AAAAAAAAAxo/qdcwMe7bFhQ/s1600/911749_344961272292456_1603840034_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DocQiKmpZUI/UY-gp6g6zeI/AAAAAAAAAxo/qdcwMe7bFhQ/s640/911749_344961272292456_1603840034_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing I loved was the little directions at the back and top tips. I thought it was a nice touch and since I'm a little bit of a newbie to fake tan, it's always nice to have something to help make me less confused as I'm applying. All of the information is laid out in simple and pretty amusing terms, so it's okay, you won't be confused further with directions made for Einstein It's just nice having information on the back that is straightforward and easy to follow.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8mZs0uahCv8/UY-griqO66I/AAAAAAAAAxw/9jTZsYxM7SE/s1600/954496_344961932292390_1476605510_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8mZs0uahCv8/UY-griqO66I/AAAAAAAAAxw/9jTZsYxM7SE/s640/954496_344961932292390_1476605510_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the outcome after a few days. I feel it looks better after a few days and once it's had a few washes off to fade it out. I am naturally very fair, so if this is a bit dark for you, there is a normal tone tanner by St. Moriz, although I'm not sure on the difference. I did apply a few coats so that could be why it has come out dark, so if you only want a subtle colour, apply only the one coat. The product is easy to work into the skin, and dries VERY quickly. It didn't leave me sticky or tacky at all, and I could get dressed (into loose dark clothing!) about 5 minutes after application. I tend to crack the window in the bathroom and stand near it so the cold air dries my skin faster, you could also put your hair dryer on cool settings and go over your skin with that to dry it further. Like any tanner, I wouldn't recommend any sort of activity that makes you sweat, or anything that involves water for up to 4-6 hours after you've applied the tanner. You'll end up streaky and looking more like a hot mess than hot tanned goddess. I'd also strongly recommend bathing/showering the morning you wake up (if it's been more than 8 hours since you applied the tan) so you can get rid of extra product that may still be on your skin. I went out in the evening one night and didn't shower beforehand to get rid of extra product since I was in a hurry and unfortunately it rained, I didn't have a coat and I ended up looking like a tiger with stripes of lighter brown and un wet patches of dark brown, so please avoid this happening to you and get rid of anything that hasn't sunk into your skin before you venture out into the world! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another tip I can give is to not apply this or any tan meant for your body, onto your face, as it tends to make you look really dirty and patchy. I don't tan my face because it breaks me out so I embrace a white mask face without makeup, but it means you will have to apply a darker foundation to match your body for the times you leave your house. I also have dry skin in places on my face and the tan tends to latch onto that, not matter how much I exfoliate. If you really need to tan your face, then purchase a tanner for face only. I'm sure that it's not only easier to apply but better for your skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Don't forget to exfoliate! Pay special attention to exfoliate your ankles, knees, elbows and YOUR NECK! I've learned that fake tan tends to build up around the folds in your neck, especially the crook between your shoulder and neck, and leaves it looking dirty. I'd also recommend to mix the tanner with moisturizer to play down the colour on your feet and hands/wrists and palms, fingers and ears. Your fingers can look a bit dirty if the tan decides to sink into your lines and knuckles so remember to only apply a small amount and to mix with moisturizers and buff the colour in really well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay... I think that's it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over all, I am so happy with this instant fake tanner. I am pretty sure it's my holy grail tan! I'll never turn back! I'm going to stock up on it whilst it's at £2.99.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been craving one of the MUA Power Pout lip tints for absolutely ages! They look pretty much like the clinique chubby sticks but for a huge fraction of the price at only £3.00. I bought mine in the shade Broken Hearted, which is a stunning watermelon red shade. It's a shade that would compliment all skin tones. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BUl2b1q64gM/UYjzwxqgouI/AAAAAAAAAv8/KLYkb9cEOtY/s1600/912872_342832385838678_999284918_n+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BUl2b1q64gM/UYjzwxqgouI/AAAAAAAAAv8/KLYkb9cEOtY/s640/912872_342832385838678_999284918_n+(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The formula itself is sheer but buildable and works well as an everyday lip or if packed on, can work as a pretty evening lip. I really love these sort of products as I'm not the sort of girl that loves always applying lipstick, which can be pretty drying on the lips. I find that this product wears off really well and doesn't leave a line of colour around the lips and nothing in the middle, which isn't a good look! It also smells like mint chocolate ice cream (?!) and I sometimes have to refrain from putting it on my tongue... it smells that nice! Can't say that it would taste as good if I did, though!</span></div>

I can't even use it now, because too much product comes out and I can't get rid of any excess... really not happy, especially as it cost near enough £20.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/pink/beauty" target="_blank">Victorias Secret PINK Body mist in Cool&Carefree</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've had this mist for around 2 years now and when I first purchased it, I fell completely in love and devoted to spraying it constantly anytime I could. It lived in my bag for months as my trusty body spray for a little pick me up! Then suddenly we broke up and I just kind of stopped using it for no particular reason... until recently. I was sifting through my perfumes and sprays and this little beauty appeared back into my life. I have officially rekindled my love for this magical body mist.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Victoria's secrets PINK always has beautiful body mists and body butters among other body related items, but unfortunately the only way you can get a hold of them in the UK is in little shops dotted around that sell all beauty related items (such as <a href="http://www.pakcosmetics.com/" target="_blank">Paks Cosmetic store in Finsbury Park</a>, North London - I bought this there), I've honestly only seen them around North London and East London - You'll have to have a little google to find your local beauty store. I know Ebay and Amazon sell them but they're being sold for really silly prices along with an even worse postage cost. I know that there are Victoria's Secret stores in London now, but I personally haven't ventured into one so I wouldn't know if they sell PINK, too. I'm guessing they do?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The VS PINK lotions and potions are always packaged beautifully. They're VERY girly and the scents are divine. They always usually have complimentary Lotion for a perfume, which I think is lovely... it's always nice to have just one scent all over and not a mish mash of lotion in coconut for example and then a fragrance in mango....could probably cause a headache! I have yet to purchase any lotions but they are most definitely on my list.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cool & Carefree smells just like its name. It's the most cooling, fresh scent whilst still managing to smell light and girly. I am no good at describing scents, so I won't bother trying! Just trust in the name ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have another body mist by VS that I will do a review on very soon, as I'm flitting between the two.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you tried any Victoria's Secret Lotions and potions? What's your favourite?</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/BaByliss-Boutique-Soft-Waves-34mm-Tong-2307BU-As-seen-on-TV-_1274132/" target="_blank">BaByliss Boutique Soft Waves curling wand</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I purchased this curling wand around a month ago via Very.co.uk, but I know not everyone wants a catalogue so I linked you lovies to Boots whom I know sells it. I purchased my wand for £29.99, which is the same as boots. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn't really do any research on the wand, although usually I do with anything I purchase, it was bought on a bit of a whim. All I knew was that I really wanted a curler on a budget, where I could create curls and most importantly for me, some lovely summery waves. I tend to find that waves suit me better, because not only do I keep my length with my hair (I hate when curls make my hair shrink!) but it suits my roundish face. I think I look rather horrendous with really curly hair, I can only have loose curls at a push, but I always try and opt for a nice soft wave... which is exactly what it says on the box... so I had to buy! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I haven't got much experience with curling tongs or wands or anything other than a hairdryer or GHD's. I was scared! Thankfully, it came with a nifty little glove which protects the hand you're using to hold the hair against the wand and a mat which you lay the wand on when you're waiting for it to heat up, whilst you're curling your hair and when it's cooling down. I have however managed to drop the wand on my bare leg on top of a bruise - Ouch! So be wary if you haven't tried anything like this as it's a bit fiddly! It takes a few goes to get it right, I find it hard to do the right hand side of my hair... still learning ^_^!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do though love the outcome from using this wand. Not only do I magic up amazing waves and loose curls but it gives the most amazing shine to my hair and makes it feel amazing which are ultimate bonuses! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm absolutely in love with this wand, and it's now become my go to hair tool for day to day hairstyles and evening styles too! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you tried the BaByliss Boutique Curling wand? Or do you use another?</span></div>

<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-ScandalEyes-Show-Off-Mascara_1262626/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rimmel London Scandaleyes show off mascara </span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I recently purchased this mascara whilst on a shopping binge at Boots, and since I was on the hunt for a new mascara anyway since my Benefit they're real mascara is starting to dry out slightly (le sigh), and decided to pick this up (without any thought as to what it was like) and it luckily resembles Benefit's they're real pretty well! It cost £6.99 which is the usual for a drugstore mascara, and I bought it in Black. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wqhIJQIJnMQ/UXARa7Sh9YI/AAAAAAAAAoc/O7SyQLSFshw/s1600/908770_332049723583611_777574289_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wqhIJQIJnMQ/UXARa7Sh9YI/AAAAAAAAAoc/O7SyQLSFshw/s640/908770_332049723583611_777574289_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The packaging is nice, nothing too out there for Rimmel, just a pink tube. It's shaped like a bullet.... not much else I can say about the packaging really!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-is07U9kZJc4/UXAReSUcayI/AAAAAAAAAos/5ewnd4ZImv4/s1600/909374_332049720250278_1337822610_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-is07U9kZJc4/UXAReSUcayI/AAAAAAAAAos/5ewnd4ZImv4/s640/909374_332049720250278_1337822610_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The brush is AMAZING. It really does look like the Benefit They're real wand <a href="http://lalasbeautyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/theyre-real-honest.html" target="_blank">(read my review here)</a>, with the big plastic bristles at the base and the round pointy load of bristles at the top to target those pesky little lashes that an ordinary wand could never coat. I really like how it gets every little lash, and coats them a lovely deep black. The only thing that I wasn't happy with (which probably has nothing to do with the mascara itself) was that it was drying out already when I bought it, but was packaged when I bought it... hoping it's just a one off! I think this mascara also works well lapplied on top of the Benefit mascara since they're the same brush design, although I think this Rimmel one is slightly larger. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the result, Long flirty lashes! I'd give it a 4/5, only because I'm devoted to the Benefit mascara already... I feel like I'm cheating! I would purchase again though if I couldn't afford the other mascara or even just to apply on top.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought these colours last summer, and used them a lot. Now the sun is peeking through, I've pulled these out of the depths of my varnish box into the light to be used. For some reason they don't have a name or number, so I can't be exact with what colour it's supposed to be. Obviously one is coral but the other is a mint crossed with a blue hue. Both colours compliment my pale complexion, which is nice since I don't usually get along with coral or mint without it washing me out even more.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just like any nail polish addict, I'm a massive fan of Barry M Nail Paints. They have such a huge selection of colours and effects, you're never short of a new look, I probably have around 20 of the nail paints already! First up is Acid Yellow, one of my more louder colours in my S/S picks. It's not for the faint hearted and looks better on longer nails, for best results coat your nails 2-3 times. This colour looks amazing against a more neutral outfit or with corals. The next is Berry Ice Cream, the best mauve polish I own! It's very pastel and girly and looks good on short or long nails. Lastly in the Barry M selection is Rose Quartz, an amazing mix of large, medium and small flects of glitter. It looks amazing on its own as seen above or over any colour. Again this paint looks good with short or long nails. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This polish is my absolute favourite that I've found this year so far. It's an amazing mix of polish and small glitter particles which give off the most amazing sheen. I love wearing this for an everyday or evening nail looks, it suits all clothing looks and suits even the most palest skin tones.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got this polish on a bit of a whim because not is there a massive hype around Essie Polishes but I found Essie on Fragrance Direct for £1.99!! Can't pass that up! It's a beautiful pale pink but can be built up to a barbie pink colour. It has a lovely iridescent purple glitter that can only been seen in the light. Very summery and girly!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I received Brief Encounter in a GlossyBox last year sometime and I only started using it a few months ago.

I use this when I want a more toned down nail, especially if I have a lot of work coming up as if it's chipped you can't really notice! One of my safe colours for S/S.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-London-Apocalips-Lip-Laquer_1296026/" target="_blank">Rimmel London Apocalips lip lacquer RRP £4.99</a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought I'd do a quick review on the Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquers. I know there are a ton of reviews floating around online, and I was meant to get a review out when they first were released but it seemed like everyone and their mum were posting reviews about these beauties. So I thought I'd wait and put my two cents in when the hype had calmed down a bit! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the time boots were doing a 3 for 2 on all Rimmel Products and I believe they're still doing that offer online and instore, so take advantage! I purchased Celestial, Big Bang and Apocoliptic. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The packaging is actually pretty cute! I love the diamond effect lid, and the fact the outside is black from the top down to the hint of colour from your lip lacquer peeking through at the bottom. The formula itself is AMAZING. It lasts all day and once you pop a bit over your lips to touch up, can last all night. The gloss does eventually disappear, but you're still left with a colour on your lips, almost a stained effect left by the lacquer. The only downside is they do smudge easily, and should be worn with caution on a drunken night out haha! You can easily be left looking a hot mess with colour all over your chin after drinking from a cup! For extra precaution, try and blot your lips after application... it saves a lot of mess and embarrassment But over time the lacquer dries a bit and isn't so slippy. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apocoliptic is a beautiful bright fuschia colour, and is my go to spring/summer party lip colour. I haven't worn it as much as the other two colours, but I hope now it's getting warmer here in the UK, I'll be wearing this a lot more! I can't seem to make it work with all my dark pieces of clothing haha!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Celestial is my absolute favourite of all three, and probably my most favourite lip product of 2013. It's the perfect 'your lips but better' colour. It's a dream to maintain colour as even when it fades, your lips still look just as good. Also because the shade isn't so crazy, if you do end up getting it anywhere else apart from your lips.... it's easily erased ;)!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Apologies for the really bad/messy photo!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Big Bang is the perfect red lip colour. I have used this colour on nights out and although is a beautiful colour, the formula is a bit too slippy and after a few drinks can end up all over your face and because it's red it ends up looking horrendous.... blot blot blot if you use this colour in the evening! It is nonetheless a fantastic red shade and I think any skin tone could get away with this shade! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall I'd say Rimmel got it spot on with this product. It offers a lot and even though it can be messy, it's worth it! I think I'll be getting all shades!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What are your thoughts on these lip lacquers? What's your favourite shade? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought this blusher a long time ago now on a bit of a whim whilst browsing Fragrance Direct online. At the time, Dainty Doll had just been put on the site, and I felt a bit of a buzz to try Nicole Roberts' line out finally, and seeing as the majority of the products were being sold at £1.99....you can't really go wrong can you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted a pink/rose colour for spring, and opted for My Girl 002. Online it looks like a deep rose colour, but when you've got the product in your hand, in the pan it looks more like a florescent pink... but transfers onto the skin as a dusky rose. When it's blended, it becomes more sheer but you have to be pretty careful not to just whack it onto your face or you could end up looking a bit more bozo the clown and less woman with a natural healthy flush. I found myself having to wipe it all off with a baby wipe and re doing my makeup when I first used it because it transfers on SO pigmented. Nonetheless, it just backs the product up as a pretty well made blush that gives you a lot of colour to work with, and once you get to grips with how to apply it properly, it's a beautiful powder blush. I now use it everyday, and never feel the need to reapply after a few hours, it lasts pretty much all day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a few things I don't like about the product, though...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly, right off the bat I hated the packaging. I mean it looks nice and sleek but it's that crappy matte plastic stuff that gets grubby really easily and ends up looking like it's been living at the bottom of a makeup bag for the past 15 years after the first use. Secondly, the product itself can be a little bit powdery, and can latch on to dry patches of skin so if you do use it, try to exfoliate and prep the skin thoroughly before you apply.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over all I really like the finish My Girl gives and it's one of my favourite blushes at the moment. I'd give it a 4/5!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you tried any blushers from the Dainty Doll range?</span></div>

Hi guys,<br />
<br />
<br />
I've been M.I.A for awhile now, and was sorely missing the blogging world....I feel like I kind of need to explain myself to those (very few) of you that take the time to read my blog.<br />
<br />
In all honesty, apart from having college and work and trying to make sense of the world...I have/had kind of lost all motivation for my blog. I lost all inspiration and said to myself that there was no point in wasting my time on something that nobody really reads....<br />
<br />
Since then I've missed blogging so much, and I've realised that, it's not about how many people read my blog, or even if nobody reads my blog...I mean hell I could be writing this post to myself...!!...but I realised that blogging gives me something to do that I enjoy. It's somewhere to express and lose myself and to talk/rant about products that I've come across or caved in to buy. Even though I didn't intend for people to really see this blog, somehow people have, and even though it's very few, I'm grateful for anyone who bothers to waste minutes reading my silly little posts which aren't very well put together. I appreciate those of you who have encouraged me, and commented on how much they enjoy my little blog. It means alot to me..<br />
<br />
So I've decided that, I'm going to spur on! I'm not going to worry about the small things, I'm just going to set out the way I intended to. I hope that through time I'll come to grips with all the snazzy things like photography and how to write good reviews with practice. I hope that if you're taking the time to read this now, and those that enjoy my blog...will be down for the ride? I haven't much confidence in my 'artistry' when it comes to my blog, and god knows I haven't the money for blog layouts specially made for me, or amazing cameras etc...but I know that just because it doesn't have all of the expensive and cool sort of things...doesn't mean it's a waste of time or not a special little blog for myself and those that enjoy what I do here :-)!<br />
<br />
Thanks again to those that have supported me.<br />
<br />
<br />

p.s I don't know why I included a picture of myself but hey, wouldn't be a blog post without a picture right!?!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17064869099071561422noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700142608002491545.post-39289662384881740892013-03-13T22:05:00.000+00:002013-03-13T22:09:20.444+00:00Storm in a teacup<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry for being a bit MIA recently! I've had a ton of things going on in my life that I couldn't keep up with much, but I'm back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recently did a bit of a shop on <a href="http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/" target="_blank">fragrance direct</a>, and found a lot of Dainty Doll products in stock that I could hardly contain myself. The products themselves cost a bit more than your average product but on fragrance direct, they are all £1.99! Bargain!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Storm in a teacup is the perfect your lips but better shade, and I'm over the moon I opted for this colour. I've been trying to find a perfect every day lip shade but they're either too pink or too peach or look weird against my skin colour. Since Dainty Doll is designed and formulated for the pale skinned gal, I put complete trust in the products I was purchasing, even though this colour on line looks a tad brown. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lipstick glides on and doesn't feel sticky or tacky. It's creamy but not too creamy that it slides right off your lips, its consistency results in the most perfect non drying cream lipstick I've tried. The longevity is pretty good, and lasts around 2 hours, but should be re applied after eating. It's my holy grail lipstick and I'll be stocking up on this shade for certain!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you tried Dainty Doll?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi guys,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've just whipped up a list of what I've had my eye on over this month and haven't got round to buying yet...but I soon will!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. The Ojon rare blend oil is a product I'm in dire need of because my hair is going through a really bad dry stage and it seems like no matter what I do, it just wont go back to being silky soft. I don't know if it's because I've dyed my hair red but it's starting to get on my nerves how damaged my hairs getting due to the dryness. If you have any suggestions I'm all ears, literally will do anything! Until then, I'm looking forward to purchasing this oil. I've heard good things about it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 2. Philosophy is a brand I haven't had the pleasure of trying but I love how they look, since pictures of their products are all over Tumblr! I really want to give my skin a break and start wearing BB creams during the day. I was opting for the Garnier BB cream but then I laid eyes on this and its reviews I changed my mind! I read them all and all of them were really really flawless. So I think I'll be getting my paws on this one instead!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Garnier is a product that I am pretty familiar with on the other hand, and was one of the reason why I was going to get the BB cream. Even though I wont be getting the BB Cream, I will however be purchasing the Garnier caffieine anti-dark roll on concealer. I watch a lot of beauty guru's on Youtube and they all more or less use this! I love how it covers circles and prevents puffiness but still doesn't set in fine lines or go all cakey. Can't wait to try this!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. I have the Real Techniques Core Collection and I'm pretty much set except I don't have anything to apply blush with, so this is a must have as Real Techniques are quality brushes. Everyone should own some.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Nars orgasm is a cult classic to be honest but I never really felt the need to run out and buy a high end blush, until recently. I've noticed my make up doesn't always look pulled together and I feel maybe a good quality blush would be the right road to go down. I've always been into that Victoria's secret blush vibe but can never find one that mimics their blush. I heard that Orgasm is one they use ( not sure they do though) but I'm excited to try this finally!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So that's it! What are the items you have your eye on at the moment?</span><br />
