The fear of introducing a new product to my routine only to find out that it's the culprit behind an unexpected breakout. The E<a href="https://community.elemis.com/a/parie.j">lemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm </a>is an absolute dream for sensitive skin. I've been using it religiously for weeks now, and not a single unwanted visitor has popped up. It's like a skincare superhero - effective without causing chaos on my face.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>One of the game-changers for me is its texture. The balm effortlessly glides onto the skin, melting away the day's impurities, makeup, and stress. But what's even better is that it doesn't fog up or go misty during use. How many times have you tried a cleanser that left you feeling like you just stepped out of a steam room? Not with this balm. It keeps things clear and easy, giving you a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own bathroom.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room - the scent. Brace yourselves, because this cleansing balm packs a punch in the fragrance department. The smell is undeniably strong, but here's the twist - it's a good strong. It's the kind of scent that instantly transports you to a luxurious spa, surrounded by calming aromas that make you forget about the hustle and bustle of the day. Personally, I love it. It's like a little moment of self-care every time I use it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div>And can we talk about the packaging? Elegant, sleek, and oh-so-satisfying to open. The jar adds a touch of sophistication to my skincare shelf, and the satisfaction of scooping out just the right amount of balm is oddly satisfying. It's the little things, right?</div><div><br /></div><div>In conclusion, the <a href="https://community.elemis.com/a/parie.j">Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm </a>is a true winner in my skincare arsenal. It doesn't just cleanse; it pampers, soothes, and elevates my routine to a whole new level. If you're in the market for a cleanser that won't break you out, won't leave you in a fog, and comes with a scent that feels like a mini retreat, then look no further. Elemis, you've won my heart!</div> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" /></a></div>

Just like a wave of fairy godmother's wand, it transforms your skin, leaving it with a dewy glow that rivals Cinderella's ball.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Magic Cream is a skincare saviour, concocted with a blend of powerhouse ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins C and E, and BioNymph Peptide Complex. It's like a feast for your skin, giving it the hydration it craves and the radiant boost you've been dreaming of. I swear, every time I apply this cream, I can almost hear Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo playing in the background!</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, onto the packaging – Charlotte Tilbury knows how to make us feel like royalty. The Disney-themed design is nothing short of a collector's dream. The iconic illustrations bring a touch of nostalgia, making each application feel like a magical ritual.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8pnxFxukHkqmfn6lA5yx28I2mXDWVUxePwd32UrvHWpFq1pgUw8NU9tvPEiS5UMLpahVvNBuaZutLrX6jK73zFNrxpkPsOZhHISVjF0_IM9MMsyWuyB3qYrDLjhlVlfzcmnOzQV8pGuqCoR7lLkzcrtRWneAXuNuENJ0t-yv0aSll6s5bc0ejMBk-8wgp/s998/20230817_172354.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="998" data-original-width="749" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8pnxFxukHkqmfn6lA5yx28I2mXDWVUxePwd32UrvHWpFq1pgUw8NU9tvPEiS5UMLpahVvNBuaZutLrX6jK73zFNrxpkPsOZhHISVjF0_IM9MMsyWuyB3qYrDLjhlVlfzcmnOzQV8pGuqCoR7lLkzcrtRWneAXuNuENJ0t-yv0aSll6s5bc0ejMBk-8wgp/w480-h640/20230817_172354.jpg" title="charlotte tilbury tinkerbell review" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><u>Beauty Light Wands: Illuminate Like a Princess</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">But wait, the enchantment doesn't stop there! Let's talk about the Beauty Light Wands – the secret weapons for achieving that ethereal glow. These wands are like mini magic wands that add the perfect amount of shimmer and light to your complexion. I can practically hear Tinker Bell sprinkling fairy dust as I apply these!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The Beauty Light Wands come in three dazzling shades – 'Spotlight' for a candlelit glow, 'Pillow Talk' for a dreamy rose-gold shimmer, and 'Goldgasm' for a golden goddess radiance. These wands are not just about the glow; they're about creating an experience. The luxurious packaging, combined with the silky texture of the product, makes you feel like you're applying a touch of enchantment to your face.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">And can we talk about the applicator? It's so user-friendly; you don't need a fairy godmother to guide you. The cushioned sponge effortlessly blends the product, leaving you with a luminous finish that's fit for a princess.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was a first for me trying both of these products and I am beyond impressed.

I delayed buying it for the longest time as it isn't the cheapest powder out there but then when the mini was on offer, I couldn't resist.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The<a href="https://www.givenchybeauty.com/gb/p/prisme-libre-F20100112.html"> full size is available for £48.50 </a>and the little one is £27. You do get less product but for a mini powder it is a lot compared to the mini Huda Beauty one I own. It also comes with a mini powder puff which is just the softest and cutest thing I have ever seen! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div>The powder box contains four shades that claim to mattify, blur and illuminate the complexion at the same time. There are four sections inside, which come out of the iconic logo at the top and then you have to mix them all together before applying. There are 6 colour combinations to purchase that suit any skin tone from fair to deep. They also have the blush version of this which I really want to try next. </div><div><br /></div><div>I can't even explain just how luxurious and gorgeous this powder is. The packaging and the product are both incredible. It can be a little messy, but this might be because I am using the mini and not the full size. I find that the top and lid can get very messy especially when you try and mix it together.</div><div><br /></div><div>The powder itself has the fluffiest, lightweight, most airy texture and feel. This lightweight feel means that there is no clinging and settling into lines or pores. I enjoy applying the powder is with the puff that is included and I try to evenly press a bit of each colour or mix it around slightly before applying. </div><div><br /></div><div>I like the colour correcting properties of this powder and the fact that it is perfect for touch ups and oil blotting. For me, this powder is great to use under my eyes and around my mouth where I have a lot of discolouration. The price isn't for everyone and I still don't think I could justify the full sized, but for now this is perfect to treat myself every so often or keep it in my handbag for on the go. </div><div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Have you tried the Givenchy Powder?

I did not like it when I first used it, it pilled and did nothing for my skin. Then I started to experiment and using it a few different ways. My current favourite is to pair with a different primer. I start by using a small amount of this blurring primer only in my tzone and then a different primer in all the other areas. It works like a dream and really does control oil!

I used it up so quickly that I just knew that I needed to have the full size. I can't put this bronzer down. It gives my skin the most beautiful bronzed finish, its a matte finish which can be layered under blush or another shimmery bronzer.

It is the most versatile concealer I have ever come across and lasts for ages. The pot that it empty, I purchased in December 2021 and it has only just finished! I made sure that I used every last ounce of the concealer before replacing it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0B8d2nuzDZYvKssSOkJgCF4SZTpdHbx0Kq0WtXKFX5amaUxXLiS1tW2Bp-fpsgdFFbw9wpGvtJg_Y-VQ1SWj-DRSyTsnz1ww12FEYd97mAGuuAmJK_tQ8-SDY--mTQfcny9BX-alo_BtSkShRPYrT6DRrFb9PlSPelOnnWevaHfyc1zePvCyXb5Mzkw/s984/1080107.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="NARS Soft Matte Concealer Acne" border="0" data-original-height="984" data-original-width="739" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0B8d2nuzDZYvKssSOkJgCF4SZTpdHbx0Kq0WtXKFX5amaUxXLiS1tW2Bp-fpsgdFFbw9wpGvtJg_Y-VQ1SWj-DRSyTsnz1ww12FEYd97mAGuuAmJK_tQ8-SDY--mTQfcny9BX-alo_BtSkShRPYrT6DRrFb9PlSPelOnnWevaHfyc1zePvCyXb5Mzkw/s16000/1080107.jpg" title="NARS Soft Matte Concealer Acne" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>For me, NARS is a brand that has iconic products/staples. Foundations that everyone loves, a blush shade that everyone owns in some form ... if you love the brand or want to try the brand, make sure the pot concealer if first on your list to buy. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>High-coverage, matte concealer with a blurring, soft-focus effect that wears all day. In a total of 30 shades.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div>The NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer is honestly the best concealer I’ve ever come across. It’s creamy to the touch (you can see the creaminess in the image), easy to blend and doesn't look cakey. You can barely feel it on the skin and it covers anything and everything. It is definitely a full coverage concealer and <b>a little goes a long way. </b>This is why the pot lasts you forever.</div><div><br /></div><div>Despite it being full coverage, you can achieve a light coverage if you go in with a light hand and master the application. As this product comes in a pot, I use a concealer brush to apply on to my skin. Personally, I use this to spot concealer before my foundation. I'm Medium 4, which is the perfect shade for my skin tone. I use a brush to lightly cover any spots or dark scarring that might peek through and then let it dry for a few minutes before then applying my foundation. Allowing it to dry means that it won't budge once other products are applied on top and I love the way it conceals and corrects my skin at the same time. </div><div><br /></div><div>It never looks cakey, it doesn't sink into pores or fine lines and it creates a very subtle blurring effect on the skin. I really want to invest a different shade, as this is slightly too warm to use under my eyes. I know people that use it as an under eye concealer, highlighter, eye primer - all sorts! Everyone loves it and I do too. </div><div><br /></div><div>The best place to buy is <a href="https://tidd.ly/43n7UbQ ">Look Fantastic</a>, they always seem to have all the shades in stock! The code LFTFPARIE, will give you a few pennies off! </div><div><br /></div><div>Have you tried this magic pot of concealer? ✨</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" /></a></div>

Its a serum like treatment cream that specifically targets dark spots and hyperpigmentation. I suffer with this a lot and its currently one of my main skin concerns. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><u><br /></u></i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><u>This hyperpigmentation-safe serum visibly reduces stubborn discoloration, post-blemish marks, scars, and spots—for all ethnicities and skin shades. Gentle enough for daily use, it produces visible results in as little as two weeks.</u></i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><u><br /></u></i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">My cousin has used this for a long time and swears by it, she almost uses it now as a spot treatment due to how powerful the ingredients are. It contains five key ingredients:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div>0 1 Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract</div><div>0 2 Kojic Acid</div><div>0 3 Melatonin</div><div>0 4 Azelaic acid</div><div>0 5 Niacinamide</div><div><br /></div><div>These five in combination are a powerhouse and there is nothing else added that is harmful to the skin. This makes this very thick serum smell really bad, I can't even tell you how much I hate the smell. It smells like hair removal cream! The smell is only upon application and after its rubbed in, the scent disappears but I have to hold my nose when applying because its awful. </div><div><br /></div><div>Personally, I use this twice a week. Its very strong and potent for my skin to handle daily, where as twice a week is perfect. It doesn't magically make everything disappear but its definitely working on my scarring. The marks that have been on my face for years and have never budged, are slowly fading and any new marks seem to be healing a lot faster. Its almost like a magical (very smelly) potion for your skin. I love it and can't wait to continue using it and update you on how my skin is looking. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXaYr5HwEy_Ch0zWzQMyrp1WHXpsekFMSxH36qNR5a7TXosPYq6ptw19Oc_taYGWjXWEBN5gy96uzFNR6UD81TTDUCZJWOz_qEAgZ_FxK2g8o_WUxLtErRJ7D0XRu6Y4cnAI8H4jqtVH5w5AlwXkUmIB5lHYsF9HUt4itHZ8JE7Wsq76JESv8xOi-tOg/s1086/1080102.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="like butter moisturizer review" border="0" data-original-height="1086" data-original-width="816" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXaYr5HwEy_Ch0zWzQMyrp1WHXpsekFMSxH36qNR5a7TXosPYq6ptw19Oc_taYGWjXWEBN5gy96uzFNR6UD81TTDUCZJWOz_qEAgZ_FxK2g8o_WUxLtErRJ7D0XRu6Y4cnAI8H4jqtVH5w5AlwXkUmIB5lHYsF9HUt4itHZ8JE7Wsq76JESv8xOi-tOg/s16000/1080102.jpg" title="like butter moisturizer review" /></a></div><br /><div>There most recent launch is the <a href="https://glnk.io/q9z6/pariejoshi">Like Butter Moisturizer</a>*. Which I was very kindly gifted but all opinions are my own, as always. As an oily skin girl, I am <b>very </b>careful with what moisturisers I use as I don't want anything to make me look or feel oily. </div><div><b><u><i><br /></i></u></b></div><div><b><u><i>This daily moisturizer is supercharged with 1% colloidal oatmeal, clinically-proven to target extreme dryness and eczema-prone skin. Use Like Butter to boost the skin barrier and up the TLC for chronically dry, sensitive skin. For skin so smooth, it’s like butter.</i></u></b></div><div><b><u><i><br /></i></u></b></div><div>This moisturiser is the one for me. If you have oily or combination skin you are going to be in heaven when using this. I love how its not too thick, it sinks into the skin almost immediately, it leaves a lovely soft feeling to the face and it doesn't smell! I am able to use it under makeup without it disturbing other products and I can wear it at night on top of serums and treatments to give me the correct amount of hydration.

is the ‘no makeup, makeup look’. For me, its all about choosing products that
look natural and effortless. I will always be a full coverage, matte makeup lover
but sometimes its nice to switch things up, this even includes a pair of <a href="https://www.boots.com/brands/brands-a/ardell-" rel="sponsored" target="_blank">Ardell Lashes</a> which
are perfect when you’re wanting a natural look. I went to Palma for two weeks
recently and this was my go-to routine and will probably continue as the tan on
my skin makes me look so much more alive! <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">// BASE \\</h2><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaVCHOQ1Tc6EoMT3wsr7ovCrArT6KvKDsAyT39OKsUBuAVNq-WF-U9oK2MNsymFwysx3kK0zolL1L8Y2T1-zwr5cdSnWDRL6J-v-j2kwuqFG0iUZhF0gfZIh78R9klmUHu0QZqJ7sGmHI5Sfk17t_FhIr_Dw-VUa-gELf0816R0COjCrBDx9K8ol3jFQ/s1202/1080039.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1202" data-original-width="902" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaVCHOQ1Tc6EoMT3wsr7ovCrArT6KvKDsAyT39OKsUBuAVNq-WF-U9oK2MNsymFwysx3kK0zolL1L8Y2T1-zwr5cdSnWDRL6J-v-j2kwuqFG0iUZhF0gfZIh78R9klmUHu0QZqJ7sGmHI5Sfk17t_FhIr_Dw-VUa-gELf0816R0COjCrBDx9K8ol3jFQ/s16000/1080039.jpg" title="NARS light reflecting oily skin" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">An all-in-one product that gives you the quickest base and looks
natural is the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation, with just one light layer - you
get an even amount of coverage, a subtle glow and it feels ultra-lightweight on
the skin. I pop a little powder onto my t-zone, a pink blush, and the tiniest
amount of liquid highlighter to give me an ethereal glow. I never thought that
I would turn to a light foundation like this but if you don’t try, you never
know! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">// EYES \\</h2><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi19GQNUYvLecgO1JHFFczvf7n6ikTL3qK77Pa1oiXzcHbKQ0GMYib1Hp5Mrp10Zk528NSi7ipvpQyqCyp6omxqyEJmYeDo1Qfny1ywUyhLI4TRKNYe6OZoM01kTUzwQeZOAKf6_9DMzXSbq7PBdgblDfS73FuA0Q8JOL7ynVR_2CY-ZX-gKutoxkwIjA/s1920/P1080056.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="MORPHE 9P" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi19GQNUYvLecgO1JHFFczvf7n6ikTL3qK77Pa1oiXzcHbKQ0GMYib1Hp5Mrp10Zk528NSi7ipvpQyqCyp6omxqyEJmYeDo1Qfny1ywUyhLI4TRKNYe6OZoM01kTUzwQeZOAKf6_9DMzXSbq7PBdgblDfS73FuA0Q8JOL7ynVR_2CY-ZX-gKutoxkwIjA/s16000/P1080056.JPG" title="MORPHE 9P" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhML8BjQrP5apiam-C5YS_-bFlMeKzaP111_gdFv4fZFLkIFzhdgQu4R5Coe5zncA0utFT7_oZQUJQ7lFPXLQY3ohoYlr85zKPJuTnll3ahVb63Z8brpa7vK3p89OEFbdIoRAevRkaJjrt42u3hBN4QowbIPtZow-x2ILMkht4RUJzpbiCIfj30Q7tMmg/s1920/P1080055.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="best ardell lashes" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhML8BjQrP5apiam-C5YS_-bFlMeKzaP111_gdFv4fZFLkIFzhdgQu4R5Coe5zncA0utFT7_oZQUJQ7lFPXLQY3ohoYlr85zKPJuTnll3ahVb63Z8brpa7vK3p89OEFbdIoRAevRkaJjrt42u3hBN4QowbIPtZow-x2ILMkht4RUJzpbiCIfj30Q7tMmg/s16000/P1080055.JPG" title="best ardell lashes" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal">Not only is the face important for a summer no makeup, makeup
look but so are the eyes. Even as someone who wears glasses (occasionally sunglasses)
I tend to keep things on my eyes just as simple in the summer – thanks hay fever!
I’ve been loving the Morphe 9P palette to create an array of different looks.
It has a mixture of mattes and shimmers, so the eye looks you can create are endless.
When this palette is paired with a pair of lashes from <a href="https://www.boots.com/ardell-/ardell-view-all" rel="sponsored">Ardell</a> the look is taken
to a whole new level and you can rush out the door, telling people ‘this is
something that you quickly put together in a rush’, even though we know it was
well thought out. For this look, which was on an evening on holiday, I chose to
use the <a href="https://www.boots.com/ardell-/ardell-naked-lashes" rel="sponsored">Ardell naked lashes</a>. These are a fluffy lash that still look and feel natural on
the eye. I love how the invisible lash band makes them comfortable to wear and
gives my whole makeup look a gorgeous finish and lift. If you prefer something a
bit wispier, then the <a href="https://www.boots.com/ardell-/ardell-natural" rel="sponsored">Ardell natural lashes</a> will be perfect. No matter which lash you choose, they will
enhance your overall look and are so easy to apply! Completed with mascara and a
small amount of one of the Charlotte Tilbury cream shadows in the centre of my
lid, the look is complete.</p><h2><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn7SC3ISkS5mnaMM_lXGpw1FwGNC5comwvcd2IOmxkKV7XdqZ_bbv0lvbXe8NHBWhLRHD3dUhIDCcuYTaIj6dc7TVr8CBliTLzXhLhJAYVLPAE_fozhuFDW13Zw5REp90MWdtAjHIDYTiItTr6YBOnD-4hLW37v6fRKzySuy4_VT3vWjqrszUIFc6new/s916/eyelashes.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="688" data-original-width="916" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn7SC3ISkS5mnaMM_lXGpw1FwGNC5comwvcd2IOmxkKV7XdqZ_bbv0lvbXe8NHBWhLRHD3dUhIDCcuYTaIj6dc7TVr8CBliTLzXhLhJAYVLPAE_fozhuFDW13Zw5REp90MWdtAjHIDYTiItTr6YBOnD-4hLW37v6fRKzySuy4_VT3vWjqrszUIFc6new/s16000/eyelashes.png" title="ARDELL LASHES" /></a></h2></div><div style="text-align: center;"><h2>// LIPS \\</h2><p class="MsoNormal">I love a nude and natural lip, so this summer look is perfect

appears. I couldn’t even tell you the name of the shades because I’ve mixed so
many!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">I am so happy with the overall look and have been wearing this look none stop because of how effortless, natural yet glamourous it is and perfect for this time of year.</p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">#AD.

This feels very strange, I haven't published or posted anything on here since March! Similarly on instagram, its been well over a month. Truth be told, I've been crazy busy at work as my class had SATs, which we haven't had for the last two years due to COVID and now that I've sort of switched off for the summer, its time to start a fresh and get back into what I love to do the most. I thought I'd come back with a favourites post and talk all about what I'm loving at the moment. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="text-decoration-line: underline;">Rare Beauty Setting Spray // </b>I was very lucky to try out some minis from RB back in January before they launched in the UK, due to a lovely trip to Venice. I've fallen in love with the brand and this setting spray is making me want to try even more. It is the finest mist I have ever used, and works so well as a primer, to give my skin a glow and some hydration. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Catrice True Skin Concealer //</u></b> Oh how I wish Catrice was easier to get hold of in England! I love the bits I've tried from them thanks to JustMyLook, who stock a few bits but I want to try more. This hydrating concealer is perfect for under the eyes and covering blemishes. It works really well with my skin and I have a few different shades to spot conceal with. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>*Obagi Vitamin C 10%* //</u></b> I've always loved the idea of including Vit C in my routine but have never settled on using one for a long period of time due to a number of issues - some a too sticky, some don't well under other skincare/makeup and pill. This was until I discovered this one from Obagi, which of course will be wonderful with its price tag of £79! I use a couple of drops in my daily routine and have found that consistency is definitely the key. If you have any recommendations for cheaper alternatives that feel good on the skin and work, please let me know! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Samsung Galaxy Watch // </u>I didn't see or understand the hype around smart watches, until I went to Barcelona a few months back and my friend had one. She loves hers, it came in so useful whilst we were away that she swayed me to try one. I can't imagine my life without one! These little gadgets are so handy for someone like me - the person that always has their phone on silent! I can track my fitness, answer calls and messages, pay for things, so much from a tiny little thing - its life changing! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>*Revive Collagen* </u></b>// My summer has so far consisted of lots of reading, and some of that reading has been about the body, it is so true when they say 'you are what you eat'. My diet and lifestyle reflects on my skin.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I've incorporated collagen into my morning routine thanks to Revive and I can't believe the difference in my over all skin and body. I tried it mixed with water at first, but taking it straight from the sachet is so much easier. I take the shot every morning and over time have noticed such a difference.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I've been taking it for almost a month now and the dry skin on my arms and legs that no amount of cream has been able to cure, seems to have gone. Revive contains Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera Juice, which has clearly worked wonders with my skin and I can't wait to see what other difference it makes to my body. My only issue is the packaging - I wish it was smaller and easier to store! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><b>Books, Movies and Everything </b></u><span style="text-align: left;"><b><u>in-between</u></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><br /></u></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've really got into reading in the last week or so and its been so refreshing to switch off from everything outside and online and just read. I've loved lots that I've read recently but the one that has had the most impact on me is <b>Verity by Colleen Hoover. </b>I don't want to spoil too much as it might be on your list to read soon, if its not then read it and let me know what you think! I'm still confused, amazed and baffled by what I've read but WOW. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A complete opposite was <b>The Un-Honeymooners,</b> which was such a light hearted, quick read but so lovely! If you like romance, with an enemies to lovers theme then this is for you. Its wonderful. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My favourite movie, which I only watched at the weekend, but am obsessed with is <b>Purple Hearts</b> on Netflix. My bestie and I had a movie date and watched it together - it is truly wonderful. Such a great cast, with fabulous chemistry and a story line that I didn't quite expect but it exceeded all expectations. Well worth a watch. In the cinema, I watched <b>Where the Crawdads Sing</b>, another brilliant watch! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sorry for all the rambles, I need to get back into things!

As soon as March came around - I went slightly mad. The two months of not buying anything, showed me what kind of makeup I enjoyed - want to try more of and that I really didn't like. I decided to buy items that I can try and are new to me but have been out for a while.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpNPiTUTgs9TfInvfzTEoXo-QxIQj7IEtqD8zkKKEMw6_HFiHsurmjNoPIJ7VMc_k2YhJdbGjHtwe-wSHYFqVhdLUvq4o-BpXqtDvga1c4IrCOvarw_-D5D5lTFxbSjVWDcTwaQLcL4pcDaNRPSUBncZZR1stXgArDMg2ss80C216IVkhqmmRJlNPTVA=s1920" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpNPiTUTgs9TfInvfzTEoXo-QxIQj7IEtqD8zkKKEMw6_HFiHsurmjNoPIJ7VMc_k2YhJdbGjHtwe-wSHYFqVhdLUvq4o-BpXqtDvga1c4IrCOvarw_-D5D5lTFxbSjVWDcTwaQLcL4pcDaNRPSUBncZZR1stXgArDMg2ss80C216IVkhqmmRJlNPTVA=s16000" title="makeup haul" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>E.L.F Power Grip Primer // </u></b>I love the MILK Hydro Grip and the ELF Mint Melt, this new release from ELF (only £10!) is a hybrid of both. It has that tacky, sticky feeling like the MILK primer and the lasting power of the ELF. It really helps my makeup stay on for longer than usual. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Shiseido Synchro Skin Self Refreshing Foundation //</u></b> This was a very random buy but one that I am loving so far. I have been seeing reviews of the new tint that they've bought out but this is an older product. It is such a lovely foundation - I'm not going to say much as I want to do a full review. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Huda Beauty Powder in Pound Cake // </u></b>Powder is one of those products for me that I can't live without. I always need to know that once my powder is on, the rest of my face isn't going to move around. For the longest time I've used the Nikkia Joy powder, which ships from Australia! Since discovering the HB Powder, I am never going back. This stuff is like gold! I can set, bake and tap away and my face is left looking flawless. Brilliant! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>NARS Orgasm Liquid Blush // </u></b>When on my no-buy/spending ban, I found my very old Orgasm blush and I forgot how beautiful it is. I've been seeing people love the liquid version recently and decided to splurge. It really is as stunning as the pressed version, I love how iridescent it looks on the skin and gives such a pretty glow. I need the other shades ...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Hourglass Bronzer //</u></b> This bronzer was completely enabled by my friend Aimee...she's recently bought an Hourglass palette and it looks stunning on her. I couldn't decide which one to buy, so instead I went with a bronzer. Oh my goodness this expensive little compact is the most beautiful thing ever.

There wasn't much as it was going to launch early this year, however I managed to find mini sets near the checkout and squealed. It has now been confirmed that Rare Beauty will be launching in the UK this month at Space NK. I am so excited to get my hands on more from the brand, as these little bits are amazing! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhhJu3MW_mNF7jCLXxZrfCA5jiH3sHGtXidijJNrCZut04cGOzUPdXPY3gKtmtgkJv8F3ePHUnWYvJWvEDy71hcGuF4vCB4kUjUVSuDgc5K0CiPat9UdA_oLbYE3PFskfOGv2e7UQxxr0LjR0SUxVWVCIs10X1--zvHuF7r5nerAGuYlbb95A5qiKPrQQ=s1920" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhhJu3MW_mNF7jCLXxZrfCA5jiH3sHGtXidijJNrCZut04cGOzUPdXPY3gKtmtgkJv8F3ePHUnWYvJWvEDy71hcGuF4vCB4kUjUVSuDgc5K0CiPat9UdA_oLbYE3PFskfOGv2e7UQxxr0LjR0SUxVWVCIs10X1--zvHuF7r5nerAGuYlbb95A5qiKPrQQ=s16000" title="rare beauty uk launch" /></a></div><br /> <span><a name='more'></a></span> </div><span><div><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span>Rare Beauty is a brand by actress and singer Selena Gomez. </span><span style="text-align: left;">The brand is all about embracing inner beauty, as much as it about self-expression. Her range has been in the USA and other countries for a while now, with the UK launch in February it really is exciting. Celebrity brands aren't always the best, but there are some gems and this is one of them. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">I bought myself two of the Selena's favourites sets from Sephora and if they are anything to go by, this brand is going to do so well in the UK. SPOILER ALERT: I love everything and my Wishlist of what to buy from the full collection is getting longer and longer. </span></div><br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiiBx0BzyWlp2HYc1gn-kg72_gBONl1PsS2EycDwysibhLt2eXqfFiLJofn6Qp8YdcYnmp7Z_Uj7n9_IEy5YfiF8HKB7sTan6BDag6XnAYNNN18xVUEu4iwZQtAuEjIUnWgV7eKGvp9VtEU_ondX9RPB4xVzZITxvcPlttQAUftn8T0VOebSk3QcIfk5Q=s4592" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4592" data-original-width="3448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiiBx0BzyWlp2HYc1gn-kg72_gBONl1PsS2EycDwysibhLt2eXqfFiLJofn6Qp8YdcYnmp7Z_Uj7n9_IEy5YfiF8HKB7sTan6BDag6XnAYNNN18xVUEu4iwZQtAuEjIUnWgV7eKGvp9VtEU_ondX9RPB4xVzZITxvcPlttQAUftn8T0VOebSk3QcIfk5Q=s16000" title="rare beauty review uk" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><b><u>Lip Soufflé Matte Lip Cream in Courage (top swatch).</u></b></div><div>This is best described as a warm, mauve with a semi-matte finish. It really is like a soufflé.</div><div><div>When I first applied this shade, it was definitely looking lighter by a considerable amount compared the swatch.</div><div><br /></div><div>The consistency of this lip cream is very lightweight and smooth. I love how it spreads easily across my lips and that adding layers gives more of a full coverage. The formula reminds me of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams, as it is smooth and buttery. It doesn't emphasise my lip lines and the whipped formula doesn't cling to any dry patches. </div></div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Ambition</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>The smaller of the two and the bottom swatch in the above photo is a set exclusive. It is much darker than courage and doesn't need as many layers to become the colour it swatches. I'm not a fan of this shade on me as its too cool and dark. However, I love mixing the two shades together to achieve an almost muted brown nude. Its the perfect combination! </div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgnTGWDc_C_3K7KEGWnuirwvnkMk-NB_NNGkbCz20meoeaqb0LZnPOmS-miesrl4ERl1PPL9dJ0KLJH9swIndOD3rS_1LYgSLWv2hkMFynMawAhP2r2GyHnUuyFcNTgVskeDLsB3ROqXuef2Gm4f9VGM5LC_7drdiUO26RcN4VZ6KWTZ360ZDiTx1S2kg=s4592" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4592" data-original-width="3448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgnTGWDc_C_3K7KEGWnuirwvnkMk-NB_NNGkbCz20meoeaqb0LZnPOmS-miesrl4ERl1PPL9dJ0KLJH9swIndOD3rS_1LYgSLWv2hkMFynMawAhP2r2GyHnUuyFcNTgVskeDLsB3ROqXuef2Gm4f9VGM5LC_7drdiUO26RcN4VZ6KWTZ360ZDiTx1S2kg=s16000" title="rare beauty spacenk" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The second bundle from Rare Beauty is probably my favourite of the two and one I am really glad I picked up as it contains some of the famous products I have seen making their rounds on the internet. This is a four piece set that contains a blush, highlighter, lip creme and mascara. Great value if you ask me as they are pretty decent sizes too. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Joy</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the names of all the products - so cute! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>'A weightless, long-lasting liquid blush that blends and builds beautifully for a soft, healthy flush. Available in both matte and dewy finishes.'</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that I am really having a blush moment. I love it so much more to bronzer and I am finally finding formulas and techniques that work for me and my face shape. This liquid blush is STUNNING. Joy is a beautiful summer shade - muted peach. The blush collection from Rare Beauty contains both matte and dewy shades. Joy is a dewy formula and it is beautiful </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div>Nothing compares to this formula, it is so airy and lightweight. I love how easy it is to blend with just your fingers or a blush and the tiniest (tiniest) dot goes a long way. I've worn it on its own and layered with powder blush on top and both ways look mesmerising. It gives the skin such a glow and I love.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Positive Light Liquid Luminizer</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div><i>'A silky, second-skin liquid highlighter that creates an instantly dewy, buildable glow while also nourishing skin so it looks on the bright side all day.'</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Remember when highlighter was the biggest craze? I was obsessed, until one day I just stopped wearing it and fell out of love. I still keep my collection of them and hope to fall back in love but its rare I pick one up to wear. </div><div><br /></div><div>Liquid highlighters are not a product that I tend to gravitate towards, I have such oily skin the last thing I need is a oily formula on me. These luminizers are different! So different and so spectacular. The formula blends nicely into the skin and that it gives more of a sheen to the skin, healthy, glowy and perfect. It lasts well on my oily skin without being set. I love. </div><div><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div><b><u>Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>I seem to be going through a mascara splurge at the minute. I have many on rotation and really enjoy applying and wearing. </div><div>This really is a product that has been made for every single lash type out there. I love that it lifts, lengthens and curls all in one. What makes this mascara stand out of the crowd is the brush, It is a combination of long and short bristles, something I have never seen or used before. The long bristles are for length and the short to add volume. When applied, you get the perfect amount of product to create gorgeous lashes. </div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Inspire Matte Lip Cream</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>The same formula as mentioned above just a very different shade to the nudes and mauves. Inspire is a bright red and very classic. Even though, its a bright formula it works just the same.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>As you can see, I am a huge fan and so happy about the entire brand launching here in the UK. I have my eyes on the foundation and concealer, more of the liquid blushes and so much more! </div><div><br /></div><div>Will you be checking out Rare Beauty?</div></div><div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.spacenk.com/uk/rare-waitlist.html?referral=oxexkb2&refSource=copy">Go shop Rare Beauty at SpaceNK! </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.spacenk.com/uk/rare-waitlist.html?referral=oxexkb2&refSource=copy"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" /></a></div>

There weren't that many in the area we stayed near Venice but the one I found drained my bank account and I couldn't be happier. I am now ready for a no buy January because I have enough of basically everything. There wasn't as much choice for other brands as I hoped. I wanted to buy from brands that we don't get here in the UK and from their own brand, as their collection is brilliant. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi_cvK6jB-FnVz9W3h1Pu0mlnXxzF8Bovnu4AC9UEIUpUmO-PaHgLSRdnJmQ_cq385NL7v4ZQFam8eYxjBBRp9jZHVOCHun3Y_7DGR4ZhU0xQBdKquR7Pj_HA1anAFpgHrv54ucU46UDvVyH7OsHOOcZkjY6wDlKDlHH_RYFHsDeoV-gqLqIXoiKme-HA=s4592" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4592" data-original-width="3448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi_cvK6jB-FnVz9W3h1Pu0mlnXxzF8Bovnu4AC9UEIUpUmO-PaHgLSRdnJmQ_cq385NL7v4ZQFam8eYxjBBRp9jZHVOCHun3Y_7DGR4ZhU0xQBdKquR7Pj_HA1anAFpgHrv54ucU46UDvVyH7OsHOOcZkjY6wDlKDlHH_RYFHsDeoV-gqLqIXoiKme-HA=s16000" title="sephora venice" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The last time I managed to visit Sephora was over two years ago and things have changed a lot since then, their skincare has had a makeover and there was so much on offer. The things that caught my eye were to do with hydration and glow. </div><div style="text-align: center;">* The <b><u>Sephora C + E serum</u></b> was a holy grail to one of the staff members, she hailed it as the serum that gives her the glow from within and makes her skin feel and look so soft and supple. It contains vitamin c and e, which are both brightening ingredients. </div><div style="text-align: center;">* I love anything that contains hyaluronic acid and the <b><u>all day moisturiser and eye cream</u></b> duo was jumping out at me. I love the simple, science like packaging that they've opted for and having matching products with identical ingredients makes me so happy.</div><div style="text-align: center;">*Something that I bought came with a freebie of a jade roller which is very cool, I've never used one before so I am very excited to pamper myself with this. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As I mentioned above, their Sephora Collection is amazing and has some incredible products. I've tried most of their lip products in the past and cheek products, so this visit was aimed at eyes and base. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The first thing that caught my eye was glitter! I was mesmerised by the <b>liquid eyeshadow glitters</b>, I had to stop myself from buying all of them. I settled for a bronze as I have nothing like this in my collection and its surreal. Then we have a simple and easy <b>black pencil liner, </b>my cousin loves this and I needed to try and find out what she loves about it - I am pants at liner so hopefully this helps me a little bit. One product that they were displaying a lot was their <b>Size Up Mascara, </b>I really don't need anymore mascaras but this one looked amazing. The brush wand is huge and its not a sticky or watery formula - I shall report when I've used. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm a foundation collector and need some serious help but I love mixing my base products up and around depending on my mood, the weather and my skin. I've seen and heard about the <b>best skin ever foundation </b>online and wanted to try for myself. I had to completely guess the shade but seem to have matched myself pretty well. Its a medium, buildable coverage that has been formulated to give the skin a natural look. I used it quickly over Christmas and was impressed. It definitely wore better as the day went on. I remember using the <b>set and refresh spray, </b>years and years ago. It had a very fine mist which worked well to set the face in-between foundation and powder - excited to see how it performs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEitLxSOLlMZZgstlZ84yCIyDGIKG9P4txka6LDZrTIQgAKsXeREPJaYOCxTVTlWI6LEPB_nMNevz2LN-zm_UyYKWCgkfQPPl_4CH7fohtTMDGEYWtoiOQL_YLJbdsdyboWE0mlKos_4Nf_ReVm9_9yXg6xU4q-An-Zox7G2_JeYNIUD18eThr6JBkd8zw=s4592" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4592" data-original-width="3448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEitLxSOLlMZZgstlZ84yCIyDGIKG9P4txka6LDZrTIQgAKsXeREPJaYOCxTVTlWI6LEPB_nMNevz2LN-zm_UyYKWCgkfQPPl_4CH7fohtTMDGEYWtoiOQL_YLJbdsdyboWE0mlKos_4Nf_ReVm9_9yXg6xU4q-An-Zox7G2_JeYNIUD18eThr6JBkd8zw=s16000" title="Rare Beauty UK Launch" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have saved the <b>best thing to last. </b>As I was at the till, the most dangerous part as it contains all the minis and exclusives. I spotted some NEW Rare Beauty goodies and squealed with excitement. The lady behind the counter looked so confused and I had to explain that Rare Beauty isn't yet available in the UK. If you don't know, RB is from Selena Gomez and has taken the beauty world by storm. Everything from her is beautiful with simple packaging and quality at the forefront. I won't go into too much detail about what I picked up as I have a full post coming soon... but here is a sneak peek. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">There we have it.

Let's hope 2022 becomes the year of a consistent routine. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiKuKixkNg9VkWHa3N_8EATONJMu38SGUHj3rm1bO4cgDfMOtJjGWEUvv01LBRuj2asUm6gQBRkP0kTatl33_OXcVOp7E-JyLBZqxoLT10ByaQoV0cp5pLOMK2W7XwDElXdVAYK6Nbbj6n7qGc4nZjEBilk84O-VNnVYAeb2fVNqKzaALDEOaQzBWPDkg=s4592" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4592" data-original-width="3448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiKuKixkNg9VkWHa3N_8EATONJMu38SGUHj3rm1bO4cgDfMOtJjGWEUvv01LBRuj2asUm6gQBRkP0kTatl33_OXcVOp7E-JyLBZqxoLT10ByaQoV0cp5pLOMK2W7XwDElXdVAYK6Nbbj6n7qGc4nZjEBilk84O-VNnVYAeb2fVNqKzaALDEOaQzBWPDkg=s16000" title="2021 oily skin makeup" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Makeup </u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Live Tinted Hue Stick</b> // Colour correcting is game changing. I love using the hue stick on redness, darkness and uneven skin tone. This one pencil style corrector has lasted me nearly all year and is still going, I am looking forward to trying more from Live Tinted this year and the different shades on offer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Urban Decay All Night Primer // </b>If you've been around a long time, you'll know that the setting spray is my holy grail. I can't go anywhere without it. The primer is even better and makes the perfect base for my textured, oily skin. I can't seem to find it much online recently, I really hope they aren't getting rid of it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Too Faced Born this Way Foundation // </b>This foundation is what I've been using as a 'mixing foundation'. Since going away in October and getting a very strong tan, my colour matching has been all over. This foundation from Too Faced has been in my collection for a while but was never used until then. Its been perfect to mix with any other foundation I have in my collection and its beautiful. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Nikkia Joy Loose Powder //</u></b> I have watched Nikkia Joy on YouTube for years. She has oily skin just like me and her foundation reviews are my favourite as our skin type is the same. She launched her own powder a while back and I took the plunge and ordered one back in March - it came all the way from Australia! Its the best loose powder I have ever tried. I'm on my second pot and have recently got her pressed powder to keep in my bag. It smooths and blurs my pores, keeps my makeup in place all day and doesn't look cakey - literally perfect. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Intense //</b> Who knew that this bronzer obsessed girl would have ditched the bronzer for blush! I am obsessed. Like I can't stop using them and buying them. This one from CT is the perfect dusty pink for medium to dark skin tones, the intense version is much bolder than the normal. I love the pink flush that it gives my cheeks and you only need a small amount for it to look perfect. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Charlotte Tilbury Cream Shadows //</b> These have been mentioned a few times on the blog and instagram but they are incredible. Worth every penny. I adore the ones I have, but Rose Gold is my ride or die. They are easy to apply, last well on my oily eye lids and give the most beautiful colour pay off. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am sure there are other products that I've loved but completely forgot to mention.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Lifestyle</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been very lucky this year to go and experience things that I haven't been able to in the past two years. I have seen many theatre shows - Hairspray, Chicago, Dirty Dancing, Cinderella and Mamma Mia - I've been loving going to the theatre, its just so magical and amazing. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I've also managed to travel to Croatia back in October with my friend Aimee and Italy with my family during Christmas. It has been amazing and giving me the travel bug to continue (hopefully) visiting more places this year. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">* James Bond and Spiderman were my movie highlights of the year.</div><div style="text-align: center;">*Selling Sunset is something I discovered last year and its just so good</div><div style="text-align: center;">*Sweet Magnolias, Chesapeake Shores and Virgin River are just a few that I have binged. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">2021 was a year to remember for sure, lots of change and different things happening.

night out, getting glam is my favourite thing to do. I love planning my makeup,
outfit, hair and going all out. The last year has been crazy and I haven’t been
able to do this as much until recently my ‘social calendar’ has started to fill
up and it’s been amazing to get the chance to get all dressed up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">On these occasions, I love applying false eyelashes to give
my look that final touch and it has fast become my favourite way to enhance my
eyes and complete the overall makeup look. Nowadays, there are so many
different options available, there is a style out there to suit all levels of
expertise. My personal favourites are the <a href="https://www.boots.com/ardell-lashes-natural-174-10261912" rel="sponsored">Ardell natural lashes</a>, easy to wear and look beautiful. When it’s a special occasion, the <a href="https://www.boots.com/ardell-naked-lashes-425-10279759" rel="sponsored">Ardell nakedlashes</a> are stunning. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Believe me when I tell you I understand the struggle of
applying lashes! I wear glasses all the time, so when it comes to applying lashes,
I have to go in blind and in the past, I’ve had my fair share of lash related
disasters. The band hasn’t glued on correctly,
they’ve not suited my eye shape, they’ve stuck down too well and then won’t
move – so many disasters. This is my guide to applying, wearing and removing
lashes without any hassle, fuss or stress! <o:p></o:p></p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Finding the right lash<o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">This takes time, a lot of trial and error but it’s worth it.
Don’t just buy a pair of lashes because they look pretty – buy them because you
like the style, shape and they feel <b>comfortable on the eye. </b>I’ve tried
and tested several brands, but always come back to <a href="https://www.boots.com/ardell-" rel="sponsored">Ardell</a>. They have every style possible
and something to suit every eye shape. If you haven’t found your perfect pair, have
a look!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii5tt3Xn6LDU4_sPfEniz32pYJYjEkU5V4c-XdRRUxFzdyxb-EP2NoTW7q0CmL8784lnj2bqqxnJ8EU5qF4Ez-QK0Pdpiv8cwWVvJjkt96Sb3C3ODGWKDNMq04hMgQskrOUrnUE14gROgQ/s1920/P1070460+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii5tt3Xn6LDU4_sPfEniz32pYJYjEkU5V4c-XdRRUxFzdyxb-EP2NoTW7q0CmL8784lnj2bqqxnJ8EU5qF4Ez-QK0Pdpiv8cwWVvJjkt96Sb3C3ODGWKDNMq04hMgQskrOUrnUE14gROgQ/s16000/P1070460+%25281%2529.jpg" title="ardell lashes" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Applying <o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">This is where it can all go perfect or terribly wrong. If
you are complete newbie or still on the hunt to find the one, try a pair of <a></a><a href="https://www.boots.com/ardell-fashion-lash-demi-wispies-false-eyelashes-10099662" rel="sponsored">Ardell lashes</a><span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></span>and
follow these steps:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">First, carefully remove one
lash from the tray using tweezers or an applicator.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Take the lash and measure against
your lash line/eye to ensure that it’s a perfect fit.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Place them on your eye
without any glue to see how they look and if necessary, trim the lash from
the outside. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Once you are happy with
the fit, take your glue and apply the thinnest layer to the lash band. Let
it dry for about 30 seconds – it needs to be tacky not dry. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Take a small hand-held
mirror, place under your chin and look directly down. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Use the tweezers or applicator,
to position the lash as close to your lash line as possible. Once you are
happy with the placing, attach. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Move the lashes around and
adjust until they are sat perfectly and blended in with your natural
lashes. <o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Hopefully, after following these steps, you should have
applied a pair of lashes without any stress! <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzi5_V79TmgsFQ0RSO1Db9hYnFFFKjC-6LheyWpUY7XQlQ5Hf0PsKtY6-3RN2q97_wRhr0pCM_1KdorH3k3pEcmKhQrVspjZ4AW1c3PcKSaFPygxLR90dhMNb54zvUpdxVo_iGcixhDSuV/s1200/P1010719.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="708" data-original-width="1200" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzi5_V79TmgsFQ0RSO1Db9hYnFFFKjC-6LheyWpUY7XQlQ5Hf0PsKtY6-3RN2q97_wRhr0pCM_1KdorH3k3pEcmKhQrVspjZ4AW1c3PcKSaFPygxLR90dhMNb54zvUpdxVo_iGcixhDSuV/w400-h236/P1010719.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>
<div><!--[if !supportAnnotations]-->
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Removal<o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">No matter the style of lash, removal is so important. Don’t
just rip them off as this can damage your natural lash and ruin the false ones
in the process. You can soften the adhesive with a cotton bud that is soaked in
a good quality eye makeup remove or an oil. Take the cotton bud and rub against
the lash line to peel the band off slowly. If you feel any pinching, then apply
more remover and try again. You can then
remove any glue that is remaining on the lash band, give them a clean and put
back in packaging to reuse. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Applying lashes is one of those things that sounds easier to
do than the reality! If you haven’t got the hang of it yet, I promise you will! <o:p></o:p></p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #a89f91; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This post is an advertisement feature with Boots UK but all thoughts are my own<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #a89f91; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" /></a></div>

Like everyone, we've had the most hectic year and she's even graduated during all the madness! As a treat and celebration, we decided to book a few days away during October half term and I for one can't wait. We've taken all the precautions, have everything ready and can't wait to hopefully catch some winter sun! As well as working this week, I've also been getting myself ready for the holiday and here are some of the standouts for me... <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCts_1M2J7lZnEQRrt8OIfzzxL2zx7SWLvrpEbtFUhXMFTj4pCGLEl5HM3zDtQYJPzlk_Ps1vo0oZ5DCmnzKdVpAuKTTOy5PMfbfsaiqSoOyj9uPfJ7HWE23Ox0j1sUuSJ2Mi4hF-0FwCE/s1920/P1070427.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCts_1M2J7lZnEQRrt8OIfzzxL2zx7SWLvrpEbtFUhXMFTj4pCGLEl5HM3zDtQYJPzlk_Ps1vo0oZ5DCmnzKdVpAuKTTOy5PMfbfsaiqSoOyj9uPfJ7HWE23Ox0j1sUuSJ2Mi4hF-0FwCE/s16000/P1070427.JPG" title="winter sun essentials" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHQJvaTR9Yoxd4Rmez7uBB8QlKQeK7iRpSXX7RV0izqxh43MZ6ndXMHfiaM7rNm0Df-39mbvra9Jnn7cwVixIZASa5FgSRdFX2XCKxV0Vr_rW56g5zagK0POoX_Uye1kLwS1spiEWfZp9/s1920/P1070429.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHQJvaTR9Yoxd4Rmez7uBB8QlKQeK7iRpSXX7RV0izqxh43MZ6ndXMHfiaM7rNm0Df-39mbvra9Jnn7cwVixIZASa5FgSRdFX2XCKxV0Vr_rW56g5zagK0POoX_Uye1kLwS1spiEWfZp9/s16000/P1070429.JPG" title="rose hip oil acne" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u>VITAMIN C</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love going makeup free as much as I can when on holiday and for the last month or so, I've been incorporating vitamin c into my routine to help me achieve that glowy and fresh look. I've been obsessed with the Antipodes Vitamin C Gold Serum. It contains kakadu plum, which helps to illuminate the face. Bakuchiol to help with smoothing and their signature grape and kiwi combination to help uneven skin tone. I love applying this in the morning under makeup to give me a glowy base and let it work some magic on my dull complexion. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As well as this serum, I've been trying really hard to remember to apply eye cream on everyday. I am yet to see drastic results but the Dermalogica Vitamin C Eye Cream seems to be slowly targeting my dark under eyes and I really hope it makes them fade away or at least make them look less tired! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u>LASHES</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The NYK-1 Lash Force is revolutionary and if you've not tried it yet -WHY? Nothing compares to this lash serum - nothing. I slipped off the bandwagon a bit with this and since August, made it a mission to get back on track and I am so glad that I did. This not only 'feeds' my eyelashes with lots of good things, it really does help my lashes grow and look fuller. Perfect for no makeup days when on holiday.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u>ROSE HIP OIL</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Obviously, we aren't going in the peak of summer! We're going in October, which for Croatia is their autumn too but its a whole lot warmer then it is here and for that I am so grateful. I've been suffering so much with dry skin all over my body and no cream seems to be helping. One night I decided to switch from using a cream to pure rose hip oil and let me tell you - life changing. I noticed an instant difference in my skin, even stubborn areas like my elbows are looking and feeling so much better. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKnzuN1PvtTO6y0yypiXaT8q_HrNGWmm5Lzus4QZYoa1EBptnUlPWaFgxmXbvTAxfDF4Mmee8-HjSx3EgfrwjOewSdC0WSTo7Cswnn-CW5pATN9XCupMSimbGhUgoHid7I-QusNFgO38eg/s1920/P1070430.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKnzuN1PvtTO6y0yypiXaT8q_HrNGWmm5Lzus4QZYoa1EBptnUlPWaFgxmXbvTAxfDF4Mmee8-HjSx3EgfrwjOewSdC0WSTo7Cswnn-CW5pATN9XCupMSimbGhUgoHid7I-QusNFgO38eg/s16000/P1070430.JPG" title="pixi remedy masks" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u>FACE MASKS</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have really been working on my body and face skincare for the last month, in preparation for this trip and I hope it all pays off! When the PIXI Remedy Masks* landed on my doorstep I got so excited! They have some awesome products and masks are a great addition to the line up for their 'Rose, Vitamin C and Milky' range. These masks are huge tubs (just like ice cream) that come with little applicators to help you distribute the mask and they are lovely. They all have a jelly formula that feel cooling and soothing on the skin. Of the three, the Rose one is my current go to. I just love anything rose based on my face and this mask does not disappoint. It hydrates, soothes, restores and protects. What more do you want?! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Most of these, if not all are definitely going to have to make their way into my case and come with me as I can't live without them! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">*pr samples, all opinions are my ownh</div>

You just can't call on what is going to happen. Last week, I had my coat out for the first half of the week and then put it away towards the end. With the dark mornings making a return its time to give the makeup and skincare routine a shake up to get ready for the cold season. I thought I would share with you my favourite transitional items... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvX1OMO_2zyNNVXKUzA5DWhs7_20YBsjIOJ8Dj1Hd6R9r4wdpx9oDER8mlqVDmARRlORF0ZXvb3BQqFzn3Mi_dYYFvMjpnRvY-mSaPod6QykcFuNfm6Vf7KHPtu4OUb8tKSylzduwze6d7/s1920/P1070425.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvX1OMO_2zyNNVXKUzA5DWhs7_20YBsjIOJ8Dj1Hd6R9r4wdpx9oDER8mlqVDmARRlORF0ZXvb3BQqFzn3Mi_dYYFvMjpnRvY-mSaPod6QykcFuNfm6Vf7KHPtu4OUb8tKSylzduwze6d7/s16000/P1070425.JPG" title="autumn beauty" /></a></div><br /><span><a name='more'></a></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>NARS Soft Matte Foundation // </u></b>I love so many different foundations and I am always changing the one I wear on a daily basis or even mixing different ones together. More recently, I've been loving the Soft Matte Foundation! The colour is not my friend at all, it comes off really yellow but after concealing and cream bronzing it becomes my colour and looks perfect. Great for the day and night and amazing long lasting coverage. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Saie Cream Bronzer //</u></b> Mentioned quickly in the previous item but this is life changing. I love everything about this cream bronzer and it is the first one I have ever tried, so the bar is set very high. I love the shade - perfect undertone for me. It blends in to the skin like a dream and a small amount is all you need.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Beauty Bay Blush in Blossom //</u></b> I recently ordered some bits from Beauty Bay's own brand out of curiosity and I haven't stopped using them since. In fact, I can't stop talking about them! The blushes and bronzers are beautifully made, pigmented and so long lasting. I love the shade blossom for everyday and have received so many compliments on it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Natasha Denona Mini // </u></b>Warm tones are my thing, they just speak to me and suit me so well. This mini palette is the <b>perfect one </b>for you if you're like me. It has the most gorgeous shade range and you can create so many different looks from it. I really am thinking about buying a full size ND palette as the formula is incredible and this one is a little battered! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Nude Lip Combination // </u></b>There is nothing that screams autumn more than a deep red/purple but I am just not daring enough. I can't help but still use a nude shade. MAC Twig comes out at this time of year as its the perfect deep, mauve almost pink shade that suits this time of year so well. When paired with Charlotte Tilbury's Lip Lustre in Sweet Stiletto my lips look like they belong on a runaway. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Nivea Q10 Day and Night Creams* //</u></b> All this lovely makeup wouldn't even look nice without the skin prep underneath. My go to moisturiser combination has been from the budget brand that is Nivea. These are both thick and luxurious but sink into the skin and give such a supple feel. I love using the day and night one as its non greasy and you don't have to wait a while for it to dry down. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMb1e3wQljxXivWfLDzwDe2rmSy5j7UfsAIUQWiGc04tHSMuWZG7f9F0ayWY8662Ti1LZ92px8eDYcx5k-sSC3MCckWh2wL92pq1Y_2sDSION5qPGQICX2dwaluvvc54oHUXeBeVJZEue_/s1920/P1070426.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMb1e3wQljxXivWfLDzwDe2rmSy5j7UfsAIUQWiGc04tHSMuWZG7f9F0ayWY8662Ti1LZ92px8eDYcx5k-sSC3MCckWh2wL92pq1Y_2sDSION5qPGQICX2dwaluvvc54oHUXeBeVJZEue_/s16000/P1070426.JPG" title="complete me tablets" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">During autumn I always hear people rave about having baths with lots of bubbles and lovely oils, but to tell you the truth, I hate baths. Much more of a shower person and who wouldn't be when you can buy the most beautiful shower gels like this one which is Honey Suckle and Bio Oil. A winning combination and that makes my skin feel like I've just had a full body massage. Its really lovely on my skin and smells amazing. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am a huge lover of supplements and have mentioned different ones in the past. I love so many and have a few on rotation - being mindful of what I am taking of course. The newest one to my roster is the <a href="https://www.completemelife.com/product/sleeping-beauty-supplement/" target="_blank">Complete Me Sleeping Beauty*</a>, which has just recently launched on QVC and is getting glowing reviews. One of these little tablets contain - magnesium, vitamin b6, zinc and lemon balm. All of these help to promote a healthy and restful sleep. I've been battling a horrible cold this week (the joys of working in a school) and sleeping at night has not been a struggle and I put it down to these. They have helped me get a good nights rest and forget about feeling all groggy and run down. If you've never tried a sleep supplement or even just a supplement for your overall health Complete Me are a great place to start. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am loving all of these products and they are making me love this time of year even more. I can't believe the year is nearly over! What do you love using at this time of year? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*PR</div>

I've loved the summer - its been great to relax, recharge and reset. I've also had a lot of time to waste money and spend money on myself! These are the products that I've loved.. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF6zlKXzaix_ekxZsyM7qgw_jSxUzyvxGk8WSGuPxLIw_ERk5w4HvPOdkySfo7R-_6xFw2JDydXovXX1QqO7bkL6NMgDkKe-6Zx7whBI7xyU27mAyONrQ5INbd9Yct7oWn7i5GRhSpQUVh/s1920/P1070366.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF6zlKXzaix_ekxZsyM7qgw_jSxUzyvxGk8WSGuPxLIw_ERk5w4HvPOdkySfo7R-_6xFw2JDydXovXX1QqO7bkL6NMgDkKe-6Zx7whBI7xyU27mAyONrQ5INbd9Yct7oWn7i5GRhSpQUVh/s16000/P1070366.JPG" title="summer favourites" /></a></div><br /> <span><a name='more'></a></span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqqG9qBJFKquAmlUiSfOIlJYPB6HbYQ31obiD6Fwi47z5VRR-5UA_w1kxkDmLDoCueVScN0YGE-t8bWtBXlfRRw3K1Zf970XyYbUUSLng57cZ0ddjZLGBs31rUrNnowZCnHFcgsq4OS4R3/s1920/P1070367.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqqG9qBJFKquAmlUiSfOIlJYPB6HbYQ31obiD6Fwi47z5VRR-5UA_w1kxkDmLDoCueVScN0YGE-t8bWtBXlfRRw3K1Zf970XyYbUUSLng57cZ0ddjZLGBs31rUrNnowZCnHFcgsq4OS4R3/s16000/P1070367.JPG" title="dermalogica biolumin c" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Dermalogica Bio-Lumin Vitamin C Moisturiser*</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I adore the entire Bio-Lumin range from Dermalogica and this moisturiser is no different. The addition to Vitamin C to my morning routine has worked wonders to the overall appearance of my skin. It is looking less dull and slowly but surely its working on my marks and fading the scars. I need to get the serum back into my life to give myself a power duo. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Light</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Since receiving this in my mystery box, I have become obsessed! Its the perfect consistency to wear under makeup and gives my face the perfect base before makeup. I love that it has some SPF in it too as I always forgot to apply otherwise. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Facetheory Azeclear Serum</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is a product that I have been using for a while and just seeing the results now, its taking time but its getting there. Azelaic Acid is the strongest ingredient I think I have ever used on my skin and boy is it working wonders. I am really seeing a reduction in my breakouts, both hormonal and other spots. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Born this Way Matte Foundation</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">A newbie in my collection but one I am madly falling in love with. Gosh its taken my a long time to try anything foundation wise from Too Faced and nothing makes me more excited than a matte foundation for my horrendously oily skin. I love wearing this in hot days, humid days, even when I've been back at work. It gives me a gorgeous, flawless finish and lasts well throughout the day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>NYX Butter Gloss</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">When it comes to lip products NYX never do any wrong, they kill the game very time. I have never been disappointed with any of their products. The butter glosses are incredible. If you are looking for a gloss formula that will give you colour, shine and not feel heavy or stick then this is the one. It is honestly just like butter! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ888A-vKAuHK1GcsNadMIe9I2IN7lOlt-dS8oLY2MMaiR1kAlblovVGyLsjWfsIRQwIgqLr9naAsOI4pF25kDyJV3r-gKTgGCHg8omXnqCVyU_vj4-KsHHxI_bWRSpVs1LBVu8gwld5Zx/s1920/P1070368.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ888A-vKAuHK1GcsNadMIe9I2IN7lOlt-dS8oLY2MMaiR1kAlblovVGyLsjWfsIRQwIgqLr9naAsOI4pF25kDyJV3r-gKTgGCHg8omXnqCVyU_vj4-KsHHxI_bWRSpVs1LBVu8gwld5Zx/s16000/P1070368.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Cuticle Oil</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As you may or may not know, getting my nails done is my favourite thing. I love sitting in the salon, talking away to the nail lady and watching the magic on my nails unfold. With having my nails done, comes a lot of aftercare to look after them and keep them in top shop. Using a cuticle oil on them every night (or when I remember) has made a huge difference to the overall health of them and I can't be without! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Charlotte Tilbury Cream Eyeshadows</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've banged on about these SO MUCH and I will continue until someone tries them! There isn't a bad thing to say about the little pots of wonder that Charlotte Tilbury has created. She's got my oily eyelids loving cream shadows that give off a beautiful sparkle, long lasting colour and come in an array of shades. I have a lot of pinks and hope to get more to give me more choice. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Live Tinted Huestick</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Over the summer, I have really got into colour correcting. I never understood the importance and now I can't not do it, infact the other day I didn't and saw a huge difference in the overall appearance of my skin. The Huestick is designed by Deepica, who is a south asian woman with skin just like mine. She has created such a versatile product. This pen corrects, covers, can be used as blush, shadow and so much more! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Monica Vinader Rings*</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Monica Vinader have launched a huge affiliate programme recently and I honestly didn't expect to be accepted but much to my surprise I was and I still can't believe it. I had the choice of being gifted items from their collection and went with two dainty, rose gold, gorgeous rings. These look perfect on their own and stacked on top of each other. They shine so much in the sunshine and when worn with a summery dress, they look perfect! You can get 20% off anything using the code <span style="background-color: #f1eee5; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;">MVINSIDER18-7364</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As well as all the beauty and fashion, I've loved so much TV!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've started watching The OC and am in love, the cast and story lines are just brilliant. A few bits came out on Netflix and Disney over the summer and most likely I have watched them in my spare time - I mean what else do you do when you're on holiday?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What have you loved in the summer? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" /></a></div>

Here are 5 to try if you are interested in buying one. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLH3wtsycSOs3NDHUg3e8BgALsebw7ztRT7-YCZekOp3IqL9KmpBhdfCYhb7R5BYpCTzL41DEzRVsZwINNgeWo5a7FEJkgcABO9rBKmTBoBf8hNlUhGPU3dgFJ_uJbfmHpt-C8PSXzJKXQ/s1920/P1070310.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLH3wtsycSOs3NDHUg3e8BgALsebw7ztRT7-YCZekOp3IqL9KmpBhdfCYhb7R5BYpCTzL41DEzRVsZwINNgeWo5a7FEJkgcABO9rBKmTBoBf8hNlUhGPU3dgFJ_uJbfmHpt-C8PSXzJKXQ/s16000/P1070310.JPG" title="oily skin primers" /></a></div><br /><b><i><u>#1 The Ordinary High-Adherence Silicone Primer £3.90</u></i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love both silicone and non-silicone based primers and this says it in the name really! The texture of this is very lightweight compared to the others mentioned in this post, it doesn’t have any particular scent either. The primer comes in an easy to use squeezy tube, which is a life saver and for the price you get a great deal of product. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Compared to other silicone primers, this one doesn’t have a powdery feel, it also doesn't give you a matte finish if oil is something that you need to control. It gives the skin quite a fresh/dewy look and leaves it feeling ready for makeup. For me, it almost acts like a primer/moisturiser hybrid and makes my skin feel hydrated and soft. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><i>#2 Urban Decay All Nighter Primer - full size £27, mini £12</i></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><i><br /></i></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">The UD Setting Spray is a holy grail for me and when the primer was launched I couldn't wait to try. I've had this small mini for a while now and it is still going - doesn't seem to be running out! This is fabulous if you want your makeup to last, no matter what skin type. It glides on to the skin and really locks everything in place ready for makeup. I tend to stick to using this in my t-zone as this is where makeup just seems to disappear, this is perfect. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><i>#3 Elf Mint Melt £8</i></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My go to, my favourite, my ride or die. I wasn't too sure with this primer due to it being a minty feeling, but I have to say I really like it! If you've tried the Milk Hydro Grip or have always wanted to, this is perfect. It has a cool, minty feeling but nothing powering, it has just the right amount. It's a gel consistency, that comes in a pump tube making it super easy to control how much you use. When you first pump it out, it comes out as a lighter green colour, once you apply it to your skin it goes on clear. It feels extremely sticky at first, then dries within a few seconds and the sticky feeling turns a little tacky. It leaves your face smooth and provides a perfect base for your foundation that stays put all day! I can't get enough. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><i>#4 Becca Backlight Priming Filter </i></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My heart breaks every time I think about Becca as a brand going away later on this year, they have some incredible products and their primer is a cult classic. Even with my really oily skin this primer gives me a glow like no other. My skin doesn't appear shiny or sweaty, its more golden and glowing. I love the fresh and awake filter it gives to my skin and works really well under foundation. I love applying this to my cheeks area and then something more mattifying to the t-zone.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><i>#5 Erborain Pink Perfect Creme</i></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I bought this little tub from Hawaii over three years ago and we're going to have to part ways soon as its nearly empty. It definitely makes me want to try more things from Erborain as this has really impressed me. I love using this on my nose as it hides/blurs all my horrible pores as best as it can, which none of the other primers achieve.

I don't think I have fallen in love with a brand as fast as this -EVER. Everything I have tried from her I have loved and nothing has left me feeling disappointed. Before clicking buy on the mystery box last week, I debated for a long time but to tell you the truth I am so glad that I did. The box was a mystery and contained products that I don't own from the brand already...coming in a future post for sure! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is what was inside...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRcGlLk6OGI2NaYx1opSWvoYX12084rxGQ8FPprdtQu1gCEv_AJiM4cIzWZq-LnoCwxYgaUUXo_fRjpjQH9TQAxF2r6uueivd_-bJWOr8TUsSmrf8bTSkFm495SXjbjMgZ6qj38Wc6AFWD/s1920/P1070342.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRcGlLk6OGI2NaYx1opSWvoYX12084rxGQ8FPprdtQu1gCEv_AJiM4cIzWZq-LnoCwxYgaUUXo_fRjpjQH9TQAxF2r6uueivd_-bJWOr8TUsSmrf8bTSkFm495SXjbjMgZ6qj38Wc6AFWD/s16000/P1070342.JPG" title="charlotte tilbury mystery box" /></a></div><br /> <span><a name='more'></a></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHUI4_66u372uiRE9xvU30fu0SKccLVW2aySA0o4cf5oe5uSDWaVhPCisxX4lOrrEOCnC_brMZTLN3G4SfTG1gZkUrt63JRSYmEssWbv1Y_9CfA68Ya-8T7y7Fvom5KyIDS6v2RDwc6DI_/s1920/P1070346.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHUI4_66u372uiRE9xvU30fu0SKccLVW2aySA0o4cf5oe5uSDWaVhPCisxX4lOrrEOCnC_brMZTLN3G4SfTG1gZkUrt63JRSYmEssWbv1Y_9CfA68Ya-8T7y7Fvom5KyIDS6v2RDwc6DI_/s16000/P1070346.JPG" title="charlotte tilbury mystery box" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/product/charlottes-magic-cream-light-moisturiser">#1 Magic Cream Light 50ML Full Size RRP: £75</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/product/charlottes-magic-cream-light-moisturiser"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am loving this moisturiser in the mornings and it was the first thing I used from the box. It is packed full of great ingredients and really keeps my skin hydrated. I've found it to be the perfect base before makeup and it doesn't make my skin look oily either. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/product/brightening-youth-glow">#2 Youth Glow 40ML Full Size RRP £39</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is something that I am still needing to try! It is advertised as a colour-correcting primer that blurs imperfections and evens out the skin. As someone with a lot of pigmentation this is perfect. I just need to find some time to try it out! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/product/hyaluronic-happikiss-lipstick-pillow-talk">#3 Hyaluronic Happikiss RRP £25</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Someone that I work with loves these little hybrid lipsticks and I can completely see why. Its a lipstick balm that feels super hydrating on the lips and gives you a pop of colour too. I've been using this non stop as my lips are always dry and I love using tinted balms in general and this gives the feeling of a balm but the look of a glossy lipstick - obsessed and I need more shades. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEw__KK2osMNoCUtYDn2YaqUY2HIVnmOTHu1c8QG4phDNyAsnfDydiGUtMEOY-qYYihNT1YF8O_xyTfREOai2Yc3TKz0zxZ_DpVfrrLeJ8grZZxZTz124xhjyIbozoJukN7kWQVPTyw6BA/s1920/P1070347.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEw__KK2osMNoCUtYDn2YaqUY2HIVnmOTHu1c8QG4phDNyAsnfDydiGUtMEOY-qYYihNT1YF8O_xyTfREOai2Yc3TKz0zxZ_DpVfrrLeJ8grZZxZTz124xhjyIbozoJukN7kWQVPTyw6BA/s16000/P1070347.JPG" title="ctilbury mystery box" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/product/hollywood-superstar-glow-powder-highlighter">#4 Hollywood Superstar Glow Highlighter FULL SIZE £39</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Firstly. this might just be the biggest highlighter that I own. It is HUGE. This highlighter is very finely milled and so buttery soft, it applies like a dream. I have loved using it as an inner corner highlight and on the tops of my cheeks. When applied it gives that gorgeous iridescent glow. I hate that its limited edition because it makes me not want to use it! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/product/legendary-lashes-vol2-volumising-mascara">#5 Legendary Lashes Vol 2 Full Size £25 </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For my birthday, one of my good friends bought me the cream eyeshadows from CT and it contained a sample of the Pillow Talk Mascara which I have been using but it didn't wow me. When this appeared in the box, I was interested to see how it compares and I have to say that after a few uses I much prefer this one. ! I love a dark fluttery lash and it does just that, no clumps, definition on each lash etc. And it stays on!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/product/luxury-palette-walk-of-no-shame">#6 Walk of no Shame Palette RRP £40</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The third palette to my CT collection and it is just as beautiful as the rest. I can't even begin to explain how incredible the formula of her eye shadows are. Pigmented, buttery, easy to blend, just stunning. First of all the colours are so eye catching and shiny my eyes fell in love just by looking at them. The colours in this quad work so well together and on their own or paired with others. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/product/collagen-plumping-lipgloss-peachy-plump">#7 Collagen Lip Bath in Peachy Plump Full Size £25</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is a handbag gloss for me, perfect to keep and top up on the go. Peachy Plump is as it suggests a peachy-pink lip gloss! It has a formula that is enriched with skincare ingredients, something that a lot of her products seem to have. This gloss gives me a slight tingle and its so lovely paired with any lipstick.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidNKW-fXv-fTJRblGJhDMqE7DHrHVUvbJZw0EZYnxINadaow1GYJk3BBE4sRJDWYxiyyrsn-tr5uOfaAl1-SvsweFNCNx71uJtI5n7hYHlK6ZxvzOnUSWHKIa-4Mv5NyzosYXDy22c-nB6/s1920/P1070348.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidNKW-fXv-fTJRblGJhDMqE7DHrHVUvbJZw0EZYnxINadaow1GYJk3BBE4sRJDWYxiyyrsn-tr5uOfaAl1-SvsweFNCNx71uJtI5n7hYHlK6ZxvzOnUSWHKIa-4Mv5NyzosYXDy22c-nB6/s16000/P1070348.JPG" title="charlotte tilbury freebies" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I will talk about the price ect in a moment but as well as receiving 7 full sized products in the box, the offer that the time meant I had the chance to choose two full sized freebies with my order - like how amazing is that?! I went with the Lip Lustre in Sweet Stiletto which has been re-gifted to my Mum as its her perfect nude gloss and then the Pillow Talk Intense blush. Together these would have cost around £40 but they were free!!

My teeth moved and aligned but the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">orthro's</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> weren't able to make them perfectly straight and wonderful due to overcrowding and there not being enough space in my mouth - they wanted me to have jaw surgery and crack my jaw which to this day terrifies me and it was a straight no. I decided to live with the crooked and unaligned teeth as they didn't bother me. That was until last year, when I decided that I really wanted to get them sorted and splurge to have them done. That is where Smile Direct came in, I kept seeing adverts and decided to just bite the bullet and go for it. About 7 months later, I am as happy as can be and literally can't stop smiling. </span></h4><h4 style="text-align: center;"><br /></h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTFcbr_RB7h1HIfBs_JLXfP1QtOfN4q3gnXF-xabOcdYL1ACyIYeddvDghc5nxeMMwks7E_gr5KbMAiFaiAUCVYUEEVdh_cYTKa45gkcEGxZVyPwQCluZysaAVyEvoX37jDgfIw84XQw7u/s914/IMG_20210613_154343_398.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="914" data-original-width="514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTFcbr_RB7h1HIfBs_JLXfP1QtOfN4q3gnXF-xabOcdYL1ACyIYeddvDghc5nxeMMwks7E_gr5KbMAiFaiAUCVYUEEVdh_cYTKa45gkcEGxZVyPwQCluZysaAVyEvoX37jDgfIw84XQw7u/s16000/IMG_20210613_154343_398.jpg" title="smiledirect" /></a></div><br /><h4 style="text-align: center;"><br /></h4><h4 style="text-align: center;"><br /></h4><h4 style="text-align: center;"><br /></h4><h4 style="text-align: center;">THE PROCESS</h4><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Scans/Impressions</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Back in December I ordered a smile kit from SD to complete impressions of my teeth at home. If you've experienced having impressions of your teeth done before, you'll know what I mean when I say - yuk. It is just so uncomfortable but I managed to do it and sent them off back to the lab. A few weeks after I got an email to say that they'd like me to visit one of their shops to have scans done as the impressions weren't clear enough. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Going to the shop (Leeds), was hassle free. I booked an appointment, went to the shop and had digital scans done instead of impressions, which was so much nicer and not as disgusting. It was also really cool to see the scans and the images of my teeth. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Waiting Game</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After about a month, I finally heard from SD and an account was created for me on their website. On here, I was able to see the process of my teeth after going on a personalised smile journey. They also informed me that they wouldn't be able to help me with my bottom teeth as I needed my jaw cracking - similar story to what dentists have told me previously. To be honest, I hardly show my bottom teeth and they don't make me feel insecure. I loved the look of the final way my teeth would turn out and signed up straight away.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Finance</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When it comes to getting any procedures done, money is obviously a huge factor. This was a big commitment alongside other things that I pay for too. In the end, I went with paying for the treatment monthly - its about £65 a month and I'll be paying that for 18 months. This price includes the treatment, any adjustments that might need doing and guarantee of an end result that may need to be pushed back if my teeth don't respond fast enough as they hoped.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ZZazukLWwIJxie5lmglRx3JfchxKtoQtLmzeg3sJEnYGjeg8_4avTjZd9rxdNVGKhRfSecJ21Il2Sai4t10sM6o68pNTiMf8fUFPYOIa7q3oKm7gcX595SPcoh7GQ2BDcs5xpg_KQA6B/s1920/P1070311.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ZZazukLWwIJxie5lmglRx3JfchxKtoQtLmzeg3sJEnYGjeg8_4avTjZd9rxdNVGKhRfSecJ21Il2Sai4t10sM6o68pNTiMf8fUFPYOIa7q3oKm7gcX595SPcoh7GQ2BDcs5xpg_KQA6B/s16000/P1070311.JPG" title="smiledirect review" /></a></div><br /><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Process</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After agreeing finance it took about 6-8 weeks for my retainers to arrive. I watched so many videos in this time to see how others found the experience and the results that they had from the company. When your retainers get delivered, they arrive in this huge purple box. Inside, there are retainers for the entire treatment. This means you then don't have to visit the dentist for check ups and get a new one, wait for a new one to arrive in the post or anything like that. You track your wearing of each one and they do the same from their end. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><ul><li>The box also contains a case, mints to help adjust the retainers, removal tools and some whitening things</li><li>Smile Direct give you an account/portal where you can see when you have to switch retainers/aligners- they also send out emails/texts to remind you.</li><li>If any at any point you fall behind or haven't worn them for as long as you should, you can change the date on the portal and they adjust the others accordingly</li><li>Every so often they will ask for photos to keep an eye on everything</li></ul></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHXxWjY7MqCANgHZMXZ63cQgbAIQx7C9R1XQKNkd5-pGDK1nw0jdnOeM4tsvjuL__D-LnX_t28fxVMJwKIwTG3rQGM_iraePcwb0M7rFXF_A1TWeorXmBgPKof64Uzdyl-aZTUD-HXxnF/s1920/P1070312.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHXxWjY7MqCANgHZMXZ63cQgbAIQx7C9R1XQKNkd5-pGDK1nw0jdnOeM4tsvjuL__D-LnX_t28fxVMJwKIwTG3rQGM_iraePcwb0M7rFXF_A1TWeorXmBgPKof64Uzdyl-aZTUD-HXxnF/s16000/P1070312.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Issues</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have to say, their customer service is incredible! My treatment plan changed from 4 months to six because my teeth just weren't moving as fast as they'd hope which is completely normal. When the box all arrived my first set was too big! So I contacted the dental team who sent me new ones within two weeks and they were perfect. It was around the 2 month mark when I contacted them again and said that my next aligner is too small/doesn't fit because my teeth haven't moved that much. They were extremely kind and helpful - arranged a video call with me and took pictures to see what the issue was and sent me out new ones for an extra month before going back to the last few that I was sent originally. I can't believe how efficient and amazing their service is for a company that is based in the US. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Last Stretch</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Before I knew it, June came around and I was ending my journey. My top teeth look incredible and I feel so much happier with them. As I mentioned before, to the normal human eye my teeth probably don't look that bad but up close they weren't even or straight and its bothered me for years. I hope to get my bottom ones fixed in the near future but for now these are perfect.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilcQzjrulzeao7z3_oZwc96cL80Ou_E1kceqIpMLRPK4AvPTiK0daQ5Z46Z1RAkjbdZ0FQVaAV8M_ij7YqoBwI6qLJe6cEgB2G-cMUhIX-330aYqwG1FL2vxb2OB1Ak7sFURVUr5FdDFy/s1919/Web_Photo_Editor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1919" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilcQzjrulzeao7z3_oZwc96cL80Ou_E1kceqIpMLRPK4AvPTiK0daQ5Z46Z1RAkjbdZ0FQVaAV8M_ij7YqoBwI6qLJe6cEgB2G-cMUhIX-330aYqwG1FL2vxb2OB1Ak7sFURVUr5FdDFy/s16000/Web_Photo_Editor.jpg" title="smiledirect is it worth it" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Top Tips</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you're considering using Smile Direct or even another company here are some useful hints..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><ul><li>You will find yourself having to brush your teeth so many times during the day.

At times it can get really frustrating wearing retainers e.g a slight lisp, not being able to eat/drink anything but its worth it</li><li>Shop around. I looked at a couple of places including my own dentist before going with Smile Direct, but choose the company you feel comfortable with.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the next few blog posts you can just expect lots of reviews! I've found so many new gems in my beauty routine that I need to share and shout about. Today we are starting with the <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: justify;"> </span>Temple Spa Most Revealing Glowing Skin Oxygen Peel*. I very kindly received this in PR a few months back and have been low key obsessed. It was briefly mentioned in my currently loving post the other week but the love I have for it is unreal. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggG0uD-vblSaXZ3qgpKhWB28SPYcrUJ0bfSAqAR-M6IJ7BpuxB85Rvo-ik6hEnuSlOjwptKvaDUlssy9mShgacHN3H48OXjwrmd3Z6PwoCBmeqTsbcSDOxI3Wjfp8uVWpbGEJDd-beIJvi/s4592/P1060756.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4592" data-original-width="3448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggG0uD-vblSaXZ3qgpKhWB28SPYcrUJ0bfSAqAR-M6IJ7BpuxB85Rvo-ik6hEnuSlOjwptKvaDUlssy9mShgacHN3H48OXjwrmd3Z6PwoCBmeqTsbcSDOxI3Wjfp8uVWpbGEJDd-beIJvi/s16000/P1060756.JPG" title="Temple Spa Most Revealing Glowing Skin Oxygen Peel review" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><span><br /><br /><br />Temple Spa are one of those spa luxury brands that cater for those of us who love going to a spa and bringing that experience home. Their newest release is perfect for you if you love treating yourself to a mask every now and then and want to take your masking to the next level and try a peel. Don't be scared or worried by the fact that its called a peel, because it doesn't actually peel any of your skin! </span><div><br /></div><div><div>The Temple Spa Most Revealing Glowing Skin Oxygen Peel (super long name!) has been made with powerful ingredients. It contains Vitamin C and Sodium Hyaluronate (similar to Hyaluronic Acid ) alongside some acids such as Glycolic, Malic and Lactic. Together they provide a product designed to gently smooth and exfoliate skin without any irritation or harshness. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Peel is a super fun bubble treatment, that fizzes and pops, which pushes oxygen into the skin and help the other ingredients provide more benefit. This bubbling peel mask is very delicate and soft on the skin, it isn't harsh or hard to use. </div><div><br /></div><div>I find the best way to use, is by applying two pumps to my hands and work it around my face and then leave it to fizz and bubble. Once the fizzing stops you can then rinse it away and that’s the treatment done. I love applying just after a shower, to reveal the most glowy skin ever! </div><div><br /></div><div>Even though this is an acid-based mask, there is no stinging or angry redness after use. My skin definitely looked and felt noticeably smoother and brighter after use. My skin doesn't feel stripped or dehydrated in the slightest. </div><div><br /></div><div>It retails for <a href="https://www.templespa.com/most-revealing-oxygen-peel?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=rakuten&utm_campaign=2116208_Skimlinks.com&utm_content=10&utm_term=uk_network&ranMID=45356&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-EUfu4D6hdPCCuP._j9cKeQ" target="_blank">£40 and you get 50ml of product</a>. I've been using mine twice weekly for the past two months and still have lots left in the bottle. </div><div><br /></div>If you are in the mood for an at home treatment then add this to your wishlist! <br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" /><br />*PR SAMPLE<br /><br /><br />

I mean I love June - its my birthday month and the month that we had some semi decent lovely weather. These are some of the beauty and lifestyle products I have been loving recently.. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibTrYnFeHp1ztJ2EQkr1cDDFw8lT6NKCACTCZ5NiQMOGwbHTHFCqbN_IWAM3f9eAq9VPyY91ZmtBx50K5nk-p5eFlnpYI_xe24VoxvEJKkF35Wpx9JzQd2bNAllisdCVqvJFdMq04YzMOI/s1920/P1070163.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibTrYnFeHp1ztJ2EQkr1cDDFw8lT6NKCACTCZ5NiQMOGwbHTHFCqbN_IWAM3f9eAq9VPyY91ZmtBx50K5nk-p5eFlnpYI_xe24VoxvEJKkF35Wpx9JzQd2bNAllisdCVqvJFdMq04YzMOI/s16000/P1070163.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u>E.L.F Mint Melt Primer</u></b> // If you love the MILK Hydro-grip Primer or have wanted to try it this primer is the same - if not better. Upon application, it instantly cools my skin and gives it a really tacky base which for my oily skin is perfect as my foundation applies like a dream on top. I have really found that this keeps my makeup on and it worked really well through the heat. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Too Faced Peach Perfect Powder // </u> I was in the market for a new powder a while back and bought this and completely forgot about it! Then I discovered it under some other products and I love it so much. It has a really strong peach smell, but this translucent powder works so well at setting my t-zone. It is really finely milled too and I love it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u>P.S Liquid Eye Duo /</u></b>/ This was a Primark find and I really wish I picked up more. I guess their inspiration was the famous Huda Beauty eyeshadow sticks and these are similar to them. There is a matte pink side and a glitter pink side, both a cream formula. They are both great to apply quickly and go - really long lasting for just £2.50.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u>Becca Lipstick in Petal //</u></b> Still not over the fact that this brand is going soon! Such a shame because their products are brilliant. This mini lipstick came as part of a duo and one that I love keeping in my handbag. Its great to top up during the day and is a lovely semi matte finish.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGNLAAPRe0nUouSrdv9dBpVVIbpie-pn_I9R_jAdGpu4yBJPBBaLfiaCw2cbQLEy6l9x283Ej1cjmdIx22I2utGQCCHfl3c5cUhG4da5fFJocmI8RJad891dW1wGL30OoDKEf5HgYu7Mpa/s4592/P1060756.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4592" data-original-width="3448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGNLAAPRe0nUouSrdv9dBpVVIbpie-pn_I9R_jAdGpu4yBJPBBaLfiaCw2cbQLEy6l9x283Ej1cjmdIx22I2utGQCCHfl3c5cUhG4da5fFJocmI8RJad891dW1wGL30OoDKEf5HgYu7Mpa/s16000/P1060756.JPG" /></a></div><b><u><br /></u></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u>Dermalogica Sport SPF*</u></b> // I had the chance to go on a Zoom with Dermalogica recently and learn some important and horrific statistics and facts about sun damage and SPF. This is my favourite SPF ever!! Its so comfortable on the skin and so lightweight - perfect under makeup. It really calms the skin too and doesn't give me a white cast. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u>Nivea MagicBAR*// </u></b>Well, this is something that I've never used before. This is the brands first cleansing bar and is made with almond oil and blueberry. Its gentle on the skin, refreshing and doesn't dry anything up. I love using this in the morning to wash my face with as its quick and easy and it will be really useful to travel with too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u>Temple Spa Glowing Peel //</u></b> There is nothing better than doing spa treatments at home! I love the feeling of going to a therapist but love the convenience of doing treatments at home. This peel is a combination of vitamin c with a variety of acids including: glycolic, malic, lactic and hydroxy. Together these pack a punch to lift away dead skin cells and decongest the skin. I've been using this every week and my skin is in love. It makes it so smooth and clean. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A few weeks back I torn a muscle in my quad, it was a long night in A&E and a few ultrasounds and x-rays they discovered a tear and burst bag of fluid. I've been on crutches since and its still swollen and really painful. Due to this unknown injury (seriously, I have no idea how I did this) I have spent so much time watching TV and getting crafty. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I purchased a Cricut machine!! If you've never heard of one, its a fantastic machine that allows you to do so many things. I can print vinyl's, cardstock, material and so much more. You best believe that everything I own is now labelled up! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TV/Movie wise: I have loved Luca that came out recently on Disney+, as well as Rebel. I've restarted One Tree Hill again too after the three leading ladies started a podcast and it has been the best decision I have made - such a good show. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Also, Tati aka GlamLifeGuru made a comeback on YouTube and I've missed her so much. It has been refreshing seeing her again and she makes me want everything!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Phew, that was a long recap...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What have you loved recently?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgmGoJFULj70PVIQpCFBoI16jwU4WRiTUZInnsc5MgAgLt-srVAz2dTivEx9xv-82W7rw_fXN73_Eae0AVkDV7KXwc-DgWxRfM10CdAz0W2fgFJ4-kUBUPteDV1A8roJNaOUEPzd7fZno/s1600/Signature.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">*PR SAMPLES</div>
