I'm posting this from my phone so don't know what it's gonna look like! <br />
I bought this Christmas palette from Dior for £53. Eek I know! But I was having a rubbish day and thought I'd treat myself! <br />
Isn't it lovely!? <br />

<br />
I thought I'd start by writing posts on products I've been using lately and what ones have gradually become favourites!<br />
<br />
My everyday lipstick has to be 'Cosmo' by Mac. I bought this ages ago mistaking it for another, but it's safe to say, it's now my 'go to' lipstick when I'm stuck for what colour to wear.<br />
<br />

For me it's a natural colour, so I'd happily wear it everyday. It's a creamy formula, so doesn't make you get the weird filmy thing on your lips when you've worn lipstick for too long! (know what I mean?)</div>

<br />
I've recently discovered I have an obsession with Guerlain. I never even knew about the brand a couple of months ago and now I'm all over it! Seeing as I work in cosmetics, make up is constantly surrounded by me. Therefore I have more of a chance of wasting my money on more things I don't need. :(<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Terracotta range from Guerlain launched only a little while ago I believe, and these 2 beauties are some of my favourites. So I thought I'd share it with you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Terracotta Spray; Bronzing Powder Mist. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a beautiful (bronzing powder mist) which gives a gorgeous glow. I've used this on my face and top half of my body for when I've been going 'out out'. It gives a lovely tanned, but not too tanned look which looks healthy and sun kissed. I use this also when I think my foundation may look a bit pale, so I just darken it up a little with this! Another advantage with this, is that it's also protecting whilst you wear it, with an SPF of 10. You can get this from John Lewis for £35. (Eek!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Terracotta; Eau Sous Le Vent</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(In a nut shell, this is a Soothing Moisturising Mist/Refreshing Tan Enhancer)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am yet to use this properly, but it smells just like 'holiday'(I'm sure you know what I mean!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the type of product that, if your laying on the beach and fancy a freshen up, a spritz of this will do just fine. So even though this will 'freshen you up' it's also a tan enhancer. Therefore, you're not just spraying a £34 (Eek) product, you're also getting a benefit from it, so you're sure to enhance a tan! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These two are more than likely going in my bag when I go on holiday next month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know some may think it's a bit pricey and I won't lie, they are! But this is all in the name of 'savings'!<br />
<br />

(baring in mind its past 7pm so lighting isn't great!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I feel it gives a subtle glow for a tanned effect.</div>

So I'm pretty sure the majority of people in the blogging community have seen this baby out and about!<br />
It's the new Bourjois 1 second Nail Polish Remover (sounds unbelievable I know).<br />
I thought I'd do something a little different and video myself removing a polish! Then I feel it seems a bit more believable!<br />
I got this from Boots for £4.99. I'd say a little expensive! But, if it's as easy as it looks then I'm sure I would repurchase it!<br />

1. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Bourjois-Smart-Nail-Polish-Remover-125ml_1253870/">Bourjois Smart Nail Polish Remover</a> - I've heard about this non stop on the blogging world so decided that I need to try it asap! You can get this from Boots for £5. If it's as good as everyone is making out, it'll be a god send!<br />
2. <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/231495837/Product.aspx">Rodial Brazilian Tan</a> - I've been after a new fake tan for summer and whilst browsing at work, I came across Rodial's range. After asking some friends and seeing what they thought of it, I think this is definately one that I need to pick up when I've got a spare few bob!<br />
3. <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/231567071/Product.aspx?SearchTerm=RecentlyViewedList">Dior Hydra Life BB Creme</a> - Dior's new BB creme that perfects, protects and hydrates. An all around illuminating moisturiser for the summer! I'm off to Marbs in June so I'm probably gonna pick this up instead of using my normal foundation. (Hopefully I'll have a tan)<br />
4. <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/320888/Product.aspx">Guerlain Terracotta Blush </a> - I've been non stop using the tester of this at work and it's definately going to be a purchase this month. It costs £28 and the shade is in Sunny pink. At the moment I use my beloved Body Shop lip and cheek stain, but this gives a natural summer glow, fit for the weather if it brightens up!<br />
5. <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=5498867&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208523&parent_categoryId=203984&pageSize=200">Topshop Chiffon Dip Hem Dress</a> - I've been eyeing up every peachy/coral dress I've been seeing at the moment. But I'm in love with this one from Topshop. It looks so girly and cute with the lace at the bottom. I think this would look lovely with some tan coloured boots for the summer.<br />
6. <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/332027/Product.aspx?SearchTerm=RecentlyViewedList">Onepiece</a> - I've decided, I finally need to cave in and get a 'onesie'. My brother has been slouching around in his one for god knows how long. It looks unbelievably comfortable, and the first thing I wanna do when I get in from work is slouch!<br />

I wasn't that great at posting in my 2 weeks off was I!<br />
<br />
I've literally been meaning to buy these 2 products for ages! So finally caved in the other day and treated myself! One is the much known, Bronze Universel from Chanel and the other YSL's Shocking mascara.<br />

This mascara, I think is honestly one of the best I've come across! I am completely in love with it after I got a small sample (hence why I needed to buy it!) I think the mascara is normaly around £23? Though I got it for 10% as John Lewis were on discount! (lovely!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the result! I love it!</div>

The first time I tried this with the sample, no joke, my Mum actually complimented me on wearing 'false eyelashes' ...she was not to know they were real! The mascara smells gorgeous aswell, like its nourishing the lashes whilst you wear it. I find that my lashes stay elevated all day and I don't <i>really</i> need a top up! This is definately one that is going to stay in my kit! </div>

Next, the gorgeous Bronze Universel or Soleil Tan De Chanel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know mostly everyone went crazy about this a year or so back, but back then I wasn't that interested in it. Although working in cosmetics and what not, I decided that I needed to try it. I got one of the girls on the counter to apply it for me. It gave me a gorgeous, healthy summer glow. (I got compliments wearing this too!) Again, I got this for 10% off at £25.74 in the colour Deep Black, but normally its around £28. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need to post a picture! </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;">
Another purchase I got lately was the new lipstick from Dior, called Addict Extreme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may remember the other lipsticks from Dior called Addict represented by Kate Moss. But this is their new version that is a lot more vibrant, bolder and colourful. These lipsticks retail at £24.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got the colour 'Lucky' which is the one that Kate represents on the advert. Its a sweet red/pink colour that is lovely for summer! I find that the lipsticks are moisturising and stay on fairly longer than the old Addict. They are great for a top up in the day time and come in 12 different shades. Starting with light pinks to dark purples, all in vibrant strong shades.</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;">
I think that's all my purchases for now! No doubt I would of bought something else in the next 3 days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I've realised that I don't eat a lot of chocolate. Although considering today is Easter Sunday, I have ate a lot! Which has made me realise my body just isn't used to it! </div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Went to Space NK to Nars and popped into the Mac shop. I picked up this lovely Nars long wearing lipgloss which is a gorge colour for everyday or going out! But I'll have to see how long it lasts... This was around £19 I think, and the paint pot was £13.50? I decided to get the black paint pot in 'Blackground' as I just wanted a quick and easy way to get a dark eye! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Here are both swatched! The gloss looks a lovely plum, pinky purple colour, a colour that I would normally wear daily! And the black, just black!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-bIrNPoW3twgIkTtKxwFQ_1RC0WF5IO8P_mQA3eKK8q2Sg33-4OPvJe7_ASC3j4pFoxwLjNkWkW_Fa0hBaBXbZhaXCdLy8jwdDTn-h1TGG4SBSur75VmDJQCce-9BuCQ0NzTMp9ThMgUV/s1600/P1000496.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-bIrNPoW3twgIkTtKxwFQ_1RC0WF5IO8P_mQA3eKK8q2Sg33-4OPvJe7_ASC3j4pFoxwLjNkWkW_Fa0hBaBXbZhaXCdLy8jwdDTn-h1TGG4SBSur75VmDJQCce-9BuCQ0NzTMp9ThMgUV/s640/P1000496.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I originally went in for the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Real-Techniques-Stippling-Brush_1253416/">Stippling Brush</a> as I wanted to apply my foundation more flawlessly. However when I saw the Buffing Brush, I realised it looked more sturdy and would most likely give the finish I was after! The Stippling Brush on its own it £11.99, but because I was undecided I opted for the set which only cost me a tenner more, with a brush I thought would be ideal for moi! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've used the brush already and can safely say it does an amazing job. I've realised it makes my application of foundation quicker, more flawless and more even. I think I may have officially been put off the cliché foundation brushes! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Also in the set as you can see there is, a pointed foundation brush, a contour brush and a detailer brush. I have yet only used the detailer brush to conceal small areas around my eyes and for those little awkward areas! The contour brush is aimed to use for applying a bit more definition, i.e.; highlight or contouring and obviously the foundation for foundation. Though I reckon the 'point' will come in handy. </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;">Just a little update! I'm off work for ten days now as I have holiday owed! Thank god! So hopefully I'll do a few more posts and get back on the blogging and youtube scene. Hope you're well! Xx</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm gonna be honest, I don't own ALOT of MAC products, but my collection is slowly growing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The paint pot was around £13 and the Blush was roughly £17.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Though there's 9 here, I actually have 12... only the pretty ones make my dressing table! (...snob!) :)<br />
<br />
The newest edition is the absolute gorgeous Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose. Oh-my-goodness. What a beaut. I honestly can't get over how good it smells! (in the picture it's the first one on the left at the front; purple bottle) It smells just like blackcurrant. I could almost drink it, obviously I wouldn't, but... I'm tempted! <br />
If you're out and about try and get a sample of this or at least a tester. If you like sweet fruity yet strong notes in a perfume, believe me when I say, this won't let you down! It's also an Eau de Parfum. Therefore it'll last longer than your average Eau de Toilette. <br />
<br />
Beaut! <br />
<br />
Anyway, as I write this I'm on my iPhone on the blogging app! I realised I should probably post something as it looks like I've gone off the face of the earth! I may start doing videos again soon, got so much make up/clothes etc etc to show you! But once again, I get little time now I'm in the real world with a full time job! <br />
The October glossybox was an absolute treat this month also! So hopefully I'll get a video of that up soon! <br />
<br />
Sorry for the absence guys :( <br />
I promise to be back soon.<br />
<br />
Lotsa lurve!

<br />
I recently got a new job, full time, with... Dior!<br />
Very exciting!<br />
<br />
I've been training, going up and down london every week and I literally haven't had the time to post, or I've been too tired! I even forgot about my August GlossyBox coming through! (I wasn't that pleased with it!)<br />
<br />
Just wanted to let you know, I'm still here, I'm just struggling to fit the time in to post at the moment!<br />
I've bought some new products lately that I really want to share with you all and soon enough I'm sure I'll be able to share posh Dior products too!<br />
<br />
But I hope you're all well! If you've got any ideas of things I can post, or things I can post that aren't time consuming, let me know!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you're well!<br />
Talk soon!<br />

Sorry I haven't been blogging recently, haven't really felt up to it! I've been doing loads of interviews for jobs etc, so I'm pretty stressed out atm!<br />
And because of all this, I decided for a little pick me up and bought these items.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCtX1z0unubcAXz2ILhIrtv3pt696WcxVyrbQjB5hN_hyphenhyphenzfzCUbRoQ4H5NTY_msUR7zqh_8wudRuTChokkg-7y7TeOu_LwUGLUkakeVZJBYLmIg4cWS3Uz8oyNS0f78g09BIuClwq1Gu_V/s1600/DSC_0196.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCtX1z0unubcAXz2ILhIrtv3pt696WcxVyrbQjB5hN_hyphenhyphenzfzCUbRoQ4H5NTY_msUR7zqh_8wudRuTChokkg-7y7TeOu_LwUGLUkakeVZJBYLmIg4cWS3Uz8oyNS0f78g09BIuClwq1Gu_V/s400/DSC_0196.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My first ever MUA product, a £1 lipstick!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The new Pout Paints by Sleek in the colours, (l-r) 161 Minx and 162 Milkshake.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've been waiting for the pout paints to come out and luckily found them in a near by Superdrug store. </div><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All of the colours were pretty crazy so I pretty much decided on the most natural ones. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are the others:</div><div class="" 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/AVvXsEjOdJgrSjHq74UVO3SFeBJhcjCHUBwYIlfN6BDc5kPhHretIjpj-yNtTKXJEGQ8b-qgPM8vpo0Aqlaqv1XLq2vmqeytVeXJKS62GhW8xF-eFMp5cS50xevCobpPp0aViJcHjRehtLgEs9mW/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-08-04+at+17.44.13.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOdJgrSjHq74UVO3SFeBJhcjCHUBwYIlfN6BDc5kPhHretIjpj-yNtTKXJEGQ8b-qgPM8vpo0Aqlaqv1XLq2vmqeytVeXJKS62GhW8xF-eFMp5cS50xevCobpPp0aViJcHjRehtLgEs9mW/s400/Screen+shot+2011-08-04+at+17.44.13.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://killerlipgloss.com/sleek-make-ups-introduces-paint-pout/">credit</a></span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm pretty sure this idea has come from the OCC Lip Tars in America. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you haven't heard of these items click <a href="http://www.occmakeup.com/lips.html"><b>here</b></a> for the OCC website.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've always wanted to try the OCC Lip Tars ever since I found out about them but didn't think I could get my hands on them until I found <a href="https://www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk/OCC-Obsessive-Compulsive/Obsessive-Compulsive-OCC-Lip-Tar-Selection"><b>this</b></a><b> </b>website. So, I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering some soon!</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So here's an emphasis of how the paint pout works. A little goes a very long way! You literally only need the tiniest amount. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is 162 Milkshake:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuzBNRJxKkOk8ZE3XCPi_SUMaTS1uDAjxflNCEVtsPLjyysZCgNWuZ0DdKAzkwmPZrwd06HMF18YhpU7rVvBPVvmFHKcPxQ21jlqGdckz-PO0c5lcWudTaqKILgjLNvYj1XtF0UAm-Co56/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-08-04+at+18.10.53.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="129" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuzBNRJxKkOk8ZE3XCPi_SUMaTS1uDAjxflNCEVtsPLjyysZCgNWuZ0DdKAzkwmPZrwd06HMF18YhpU7rVvBPVvmFHKcPxQ21jlqGdckz-PO0c5lcWudTaqKILgjLNvYj1XtF0UAm-Co56/s200/Screen+shot+2011-08-04+at+18.10.53.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A little bit defeating in colour. I'd say it's a little lighter than what it looks in the tube. The texture is kind of watery but thick. I picked these 2 colours up thinking they looked natural and they don't really, look? natural? Hmm...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can see the difference between the 2 but I don't if I'd say either of them are natural. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Apart from this, the product is nice but at this stage, I'm debatable as to whether I'd purchase them again. Simply because of the price and the range of colours. They were £5 each. You can mix the colours together so I'll try that soon. But at the moment, I'm not won over. I do still want to try the OCC Lip Tars and I'll probably order some now to compare them against Sleek's idea.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Like this! Good for a £1. As are all the other products!

Also, I've gotta watch my money!<br />
<br />
Saying that... I did splurge out and buy these gorgeous shoes from <a href="http://www.office.co.uk/">Office</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTB0NhDttebSbOqIzEdubYi60DGg_AjTKP6auTGS2hzBN9O0mScc72czzgNU5xYgpY1INuprUpfA5nnkGPaspwfLpBfVgrCjEwOwAdwcnq_nTTWIkiRiNImpBNJ1WaEydQgCPhckbNw6FR/s1600/DSC_0194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTB0NhDttebSbOqIzEdubYi60DGg_AjTKP6auTGS2hzBN9O0mScc72czzgNU5xYgpY1INuprUpfA5nnkGPaspwfLpBfVgrCjEwOwAdwcnq_nTTWIkiRiNImpBNJ1WaEydQgCPhckbNw6FR/s400/DSC_0194.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Oh, wow.<br />
I love them! I was looking for a new pair as I was going out that night and fancied treating myself. Oops!<br />
I knew I wanted wedges in a kind of nude colour, so that's what I was aiming for! (As I hate shopping aimlessly!)<br />
Went in Primark, Dorothy Perkins, Topshop, you name it, I went there. Then this gorgeous pair caught my eye! Originally they were £65 (depressing, I know) But after a nice lady who works there saw me looking at them, she asked "What are you thinking?" I simply said, "I like the shoes! I just don't like the price!" (Hahaaaa...)<br />
And with saying that, BAM! "Would it tempt you if I said I'll give you 10% off?"<br />
<br />
"Eeeerrrrrr, yes!"<br />
<br />
So, it just goes to show with a bit of bartering, you can get somewhere!<br />
I know it was only about £6 off, but still, better than nothing!<br />
<br />
And then...<br />
<br />
I went shopping round my local area and found these beauties in another shop! For some reason, I'm really into wedges at the moment!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcDfRSEV8Dnv66k-1AnByqwpd-uxgDZRRDcIave6RXQJtKAYQjayufN1ghxIwdu8aJQ84deDBr_r-9TuTKE0oW_gI2C_-x_gDMcqgbfOUGF6KQWhqIYDvjVtBJVvTCr4WCrYBA8nVQi9LP/s1600/DSC_0195.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcDfRSEV8Dnv66k-1AnByqwpd-uxgDZRRDcIave6RXQJtKAYQjayufN1ghxIwdu8aJQ84deDBr_r-9TuTKE0oW_gI2C_-x_gDMcqgbfOUGF6KQWhqIYDvjVtBJVvTCr4WCrYBA8nVQi9LP/s400/DSC_0195.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
They look much better on! This photo doesn't really do them justice.<br />
But I fancied a pair of lower wedges to wear casually! I'm pretty tall anyway, about 5"6/7. So this height was just, ok. I still look tall with them but not massive.<br />
And the best of all, they were only, <b>£5! </b>Whaaaaaattt!<br />
They were from a shop called 'Risky' (cringe I know).<br />
<br />
But for a fiver! I'm definately not complaining!<br />

Pretty glad I did as this month's box is an absolute treat! I applied at the end of May for the box so I've been waiting ages!<br />
<br />
So, I thought I'd share a video with you all (as I'm sure all the other GlossyBox subscribers will) as I'm feeling lazy and can't be bothered to type! The products in the box amount to over £50, which I didn't mention, so it's honestly completely worth it, if you like the products!<br />
<br />
Hope you're all well.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />
(not sure why this video is going all over the place!)<br />

I just received my package from the lovely, <a href="http://sophiesdish.wordpress.com/">Sophie</a>!<br />
We've been emailing for a few weeks and decided to indulge in a make-up swap. There are some things here in the UK that Sophie wanted and there were some things in the US I wanted! (Which either of us can get in our countries...)<br />
<br />
So, here's the beautiful package that got delivered today!<br />

Picked up a few bits that I really shouldn't have seeing as my bank account doesn't look too pretty! But here they are:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM0wnOIWiVG7k6OcgTYERWBiMUZgSJgM_bgfnxfgFe0hohEFe3zNGiv4r4UKuoG1aQD868UCmE0SjhyOkaxrOhVDHYsXGqcAmuqWftvr_vgXdBCWmlnI8aOaY3UGBTbFHR2L-G0Vt35WWP/s1600/DSC_0163.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM0wnOIWiVG7k6OcgTYERWBiMUZgSJgM_bgfnxfgFe0hohEFe3zNGiv4r4UKuoG1aQD868UCmE0SjhyOkaxrOhVDHYsXGqcAmuqWftvr_vgXdBCWmlnI8aOaY3UGBTbFHR2L-G0Vt35WWP/s320/DSC_0163.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I picked up this gorgeous mustard/yellow coloured bikini from <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/">Urban Outfitters</a> for only £10! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's by Cheap Monday and was reduced from £30. HUGE Bargain! The colour looks better in real life, but it was the mustard shade that made me pick it out! Bandeau style top and wide sided bottoms. Really love this! Seeing as I'm planning a holiday for this year, this will come in handy! I'd never really to think to look for a bikini in Urban Outfitters but glad I did now I've found this beauty!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWsZfpUKrOh-cev2IqTz4aibZNxGc0AbXwAdWHFd6Z5MkNgstYWQ757-DtlkTivllN5zj3SKuFPIh3LpNdvP3_PDssV8vvb5KxS8HgCNlfC27RDOaWU1m5-ZsXt-dfZrWGtM5vRV5T6y1A/s1600/DSC_0167.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWsZfpUKrOh-cev2IqTz4aibZNxGc0AbXwAdWHFd6Z5MkNgstYWQ757-DtlkTivllN5zj3SKuFPIh3LpNdvP3_PDssV8vvb5KxS8HgCNlfC27RDOaWU1m5-ZsXt-dfZrWGtM5vRV5T6y1A/s320/DSC_0167.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The fairly new Caribbean Collection from <a href="http://www.sleekmakeup.com/">Sleek</a>! (Sorry about the finger dip!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I saw this Pout Polish featured on another blog and thought I just had to get it! I feel like I can get away with orange colours so needed to try it haha! This orange SPF15 polish is called 'Bonaire' enriched with jojoba, avocado and sweet almond oil which glides on with a tint of orange glow to the lips. Really summery and really great for a quick lip pick-up! It's Limited Edition so if you like this, you better get it quick! I bought this in Superdrug for £4.49. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was also after the Caribbean Collection <a href="http://www.sleekmakeup.com/en/products/blush-aruba-468.aspx">Blush</a> called Aruba. The colour looks really daunting in the pot, though with a light sweep, you get a lovely Coral hue!</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/AVvXsEgTwNHhK9fQr-VBQfZ00xkNG3FFtnjXJi_6YpRj3RYG-_AYW9jJ0Ce40JVTbiHru-O4y4rlk5GgTS4fzZBH6ChPfDDRPW3Dtq9t12ZbZzgbNfhqvTtJQd3bmIsGnqGexvZqF_HZZTg2HvZu/s1600/DSC_0162.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTwNHhK9fQr-VBQfZ00xkNG3FFtnjXJi_6YpRj3RYG-_AYW9jJ0Ce40JVTbiHru-O4y4rlk5GgTS4fzZBH6ChPfDDRPW3Dtq9t12ZbZzgbNfhqvTtJQd3bmIsGnqGexvZqF_HZZTg2HvZu/s400/DSC_0162.JPG" width="265" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>L-R</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Carex Hand Gel:</b> I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to washing my hands, so figured this would be great to leave in my bag for a quick sproose up! You only need one pump for a whole cleanse. Also, this is a moisture plus, so makes it feel like you've properly washed your hands with gel and water! This was £1.40 from Boots.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Aussie Curl Definition & Soft Feel Serum: </b>I got this in Superdrug as they were doing a '2 for £6' Aussie deal! I obviously couldn't refuse. I've been wearing my hair 'au naturel' lately and hardly straighten it. So it's in pretty good condition atm which I'm pleased about. My hair is naturally straight, but I wouldn't mind a natural wave some days, so picked this up! It's a serum that catches the curls in your hair to give them a full definition and soft feel. A coin size amount of the product is more than enough for your whole head, considering how much hair you've got. The smell is gorgeous and my hair felt instantly smooth when applied. I can already see small flicks and curls developing. So, a good buy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Aussie Curl Defining & Shine Mousse: </b>Just to match the other product I picked up this curl defining mousse. I thought it would work well with the other one for extra defined curls. Use this on damp hair and scrunch for curls. For EXTRA curls, once your hair is dry, use a curling iron to style! I think I'll use the Serum more, but then I've always got this as an option! Both products smell lovely!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Batiste Dry Shampoo Big & Bouncy XXL Volume: </b>Oh my word, I can not emphasize how volumising this is! Bit of a horrible photo but I wanted to show you it actually works! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrhxOWpjnHDBWlxt07gzW4rfcL4g79bjn7kI_Za-eTf5b7nypLeqG_q86S47nWoJZwQ9awpRL5tCoBzDpHlMhxeLecXtBNiYy2ZCLYJOax0tqlbbhYupFAnBF_gsXRDI8cfiq1NfADadZ0/s1600/Photo+on+2011-07-15+at+19.48.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrhxOWpjnHDBWlxt07gzW4rfcL4g79bjn7kI_Za-eTf5b7nypLeqG_q86S47nWoJZwQ9awpRL5tCoBzDpHlMhxeLecXtBNiYy2ZCLYJOax0tqlbbhYupFAnBF_gsXRDI8cfiq1NfADadZ0/s320/Photo+on+2011-07-15+at+19.48.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I honestly can't believe how volumising this is haha. (I better stop saying it!) I sprayed this into my roots, massaged and scrunched it a bit, and VOILA! Instant Boof! With an extra bit of hair spray, this boofyness won't drop. A-ma-zing. It's a bigger bottle than the ordinary Batiste at a price of £3.99 from Boots. Really glad I got this. Normally I only use Batiste on the days where I can't be bothered to wash my hair, but with these results, I think I'll be spraying it into my hair more often! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Aaaaand I think that's all! Does anyone know where I can get Morrocan Hair Oil from? Been hunting everywhere! Also, super excited to get my first <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/">Glossy Box</a> this month. I finally gave in and subscribed!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiostIXm5nL2P5ZpxmpPLJritNu-i0U6F4dSosya-yP92BbeU-TmEUNibyLne6U_ufPnvMF_XYWQDYcq7NTcMwusoqQsTqfoRcTBVMAUZBEnGf9OfhmzSuSs_ZsvN9uV2ITHgAaaWs1Bwdt/s1600/DSC_0079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiostIXm5nL2P5ZpxmpPLJritNu-i0U6F4dSosya-yP92BbeU-TmEUNibyLne6U_ufPnvMF_XYWQDYcq7NTcMwusoqQsTqfoRcTBVMAUZBEnGf9OfhmzSuSs_ZsvN9uV2ITHgAaaWs1Bwdt/s400/DSC_0079.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Basic but tricky! I'll show you another pic of how I done it...</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/AVvXsEgLMPOAzpteu79clVAQ1vSvAZlusXrr1hs72TcikBhRR-QhvdGT__JEqsy22RHqNYASSjAivTgz4e28X3T4Tdy77UQoELeaWOUikXbH0nW6NpuWaNkXkXhfaxuN1umbm-N4SC_FyjZFd6vg/s1600/DSC_0077.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLMPOAzpteu79clVAQ1vSvAZlusXrr1hs72TcikBhRR-QhvdGT__JEqsy22RHqNYASSjAivTgz4e28X3T4Tdy77UQoELeaWOUikXbH0nW6NpuWaNkXkXhfaxuN1umbm-N4SC_FyjZFd6vg/s320/DSC_0077.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Simply by taking some masking tape and placing it on my nail where my white tip starts! Sounds easy, but it can be kind of tricky! I made sure the tape wasn't too sticky by touching it a few times, as I had previously put on a base coat, and didn't want that to come off! Then I simply took my polish colour and painted on the tip, not mattering if I got it on the tape or not!<br />
In this look I used 'Peach Melba' by BarryM. I was originally going to use black, but I think I need a new one! I don't always choose to use BarryM, it's just because I've got a ridiculous collection of the colours, so it works quite well!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I then topped off the look by using BarryM, topcoat, basecoat & nail hardener to give that shiny effect!<br />
Not sure why I went for this look, think I wasn't too bothered about having something crazy, so went for subtle but interesting!<br />
<br />
So here's the collection.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqkYhdx3naZxhAuxayAXNH8WeBwIGHG9TkqrlrE9XwKTgMAloA1mF5Qh7exU1RlYkGRpxuG1W42cYSiwzKD5vGvGdsPBnQWbWjcrJlMAtzOlXMdatmv77bjkRUXeF5Rq4Hh3nvHYmQsAO/s1600/DSC_0069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqkYhdx3naZxhAuxayAXNH8WeBwIGHG9TkqrlrE9XwKTgMAloA1mF5Qh7exU1RlYkGRpxuG1W42cYSiwzKD5vGvGdsPBnQWbWjcrJlMAtzOlXMdatmv77bjkRUXeF5Rq4Hh3nvHYmQsAO/s400/DSC_0069.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

'Super Size Fat Lash'<br />
It says, 'Supersize your lashes! Super volumising mascara for big bold lashes'. I got this in Superdrug when I noticed Collection 2000 were doing a offer, 'any products £2.99 and under, get 2 for £5. So, obviously, I jumped at the chance and bought 2 things for a fiver. I got a lipstick for a friend and knew I needed a new mascara, so thought I'd give this a go!<br />
Seeing as some Collection 2000 products are really good, I wondered if this would be too!<br />
But, after applying the mascara to one eye and seeing the outcome, I'm not sure I'm pleased.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So this is with.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And this is without.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To say the least, I'm pretty disappointed! The packaging states, 'big bold lashes' and I don't think I can see any! I'm thinking that it might of been £2.99 for a reason. I did only pick this up on a whim of trying a new mascara but I am quite disappointed. I like my lashes big and bold! You can see a difference in the photos, but I don't think these lashes would stay elevated and maybe a re-application would be necessary!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I'd say, if you're gonna get the £5 deal for 2 items, go for 2 lipsticks or something else! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Terrible! Sorry!<br />
<br />
I don't think I've posted because I literally haven't bought anything exciting or make-up related. I did buy some clothes in the sale so I'll be sure to pop photos of those up when I can.<br />
<br />
I've been really busy too. The last week I've had a few interviews so I've been preparing, researching, finding clothes to wear etc etc!<br />
<br />
But for now I'll show you a glimpse of my latest nail look!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To get this look I used:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">BarryM products! My collection of BarryM is growing more and more, I forget what colours I've got! First up I used the;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Basecoat, Topcoat & Nail Hardener</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Along with, Berry</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and then... Silver Cascade (which is a newbie to my collection) on my ring fingers!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I got the Silver Cascade polish in Topshop at Oxford Street. I've never seen it in any of my local BarryM boutiques so I'm figuring up the city is where you'll find it easiest to get! It's a really great selection of glitter and doesn't budge for anyone! <i>(I can warn you it is a bit of a pain when you want to get it off!)</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I forgot I had the colour Berry so it was nice to use this again! Fits in well for this weather which doesn't want to make up it's mind! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I got my hair cut the other day but normally colour it myself, as I find it cheaper! My hairdresser and I get along quite well and she insisted I NEEDED to dye my roots. Haha! Normally I use Schwarzkopf XXL Colour (whatever it's called...) But Sarah (hairdresser) recommended this one by John Frieda. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I must admit I'm a little scared to use it as it's not your normal dye, but a foam instead! Eek! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I decided to get this colour; Deep Cherry Brown as I fancy a tinge of red in there!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuuVMYIiwlhga3fZYLTGo42U7s0Q7gd78Fgf_bq3cPQ3aFkSUFmUveOHNxZ2yVLktlOpBgPxqxj41w7iYo_rWSZRJfcIISioAaOP2_7e9hNaiTItvVfndBNqnjoIpXhtEO9AGejvW2tFUc/s1600/DSC_0013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuuVMYIiwlhga3fZYLTGo42U7s0Q7gd78Fgf_bq3cPQ3aFkSUFmUveOHNxZ2yVLktlOpBgPxqxj41w7iYo_rWSZRJfcIISioAaOP2_7e9hNaiTItvVfndBNqnjoIpXhtEO9AGejvW2tFUc/s320/DSC_0013.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So if any of you have used it please tell me what it's like and how to properly use it! I'm sure I'll manage but any help or tips would be great! I would love to do my hair Ombre/Dip dye style, but I just don't think it's long enough! I'm in one of those stages at the moment where I don't know what to do with my barnet! Therefore I'm just going to leave it and let it grow.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I think I may do this colour today, so I'll be sure to take a before and after photo!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was watching Fleur <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/FleurDeForce">(FleurDeForce)</a> on YouTube and she spoke about this new perfume by Vera Wang called Lovestruck. Normally I don't really look for new perfumes as I love the ones I've already got! But after a good ole trip to Boots, I saw the huge stand for Lovestruck and then saw some cheeky samples! I didn't think I would like this, but the more I smell my small sample, the more I fall in love with it! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not to mention the packaging! Oh my, it's probably the prettiest perfume bottle I've ever seen!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
