<b><u>Nars Sheer Glow Foundation</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This foundation has been raved about by sooooo many bloggers and youtubers, specifically Tanya Burr, Viviannadoesmakeup and Lily Pebbles and after hearing their reviews, I knew I had to get my hands on it. I can honestly say that it was love on first application, despite the name, I wouldn't say this is a sheer foundation, in fact, I think it's pretty much full coverage! Never has a foundation lasted on my oily/combo skin as well as this one. It's such an amazing foundation and I would recommend it to girls with every skin type.</div>

<b><u>Soap and Glory Brow Archery</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love to have a full, strong brow, but I can never really be bothered to sit and fill them in with a pencil or powder, so I was on the look out for a reasonably priced product that would make filling in my eyebrows much quicker and easier. I saw this product in Boots for £10, which I think is a great price as you get a waxy pencil on one side, and a felt tip on the other. The felt tip side is so thin, so you can apply it in tiny strokes to create a strong, yet natural looking brow.</div>

<b><u>Tanya Burr Lipgloss First Date</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These lip glosses are more like a glossy lacquer than your standard lipgloss because they're so pigmented! You don't need a lipstick or liner underneath as they give a completely opaque look. I have a couple of shades, but first date is definitely my favourite. It's a baby pink and makes your lips appear fuller and juicy and lasts for hours. Plus the whole range smells like strawberries and cream!</div>

<b><u>Bourjois 1 Seconde Nail Polish Blue No Blues</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been on the search for the perfect aqua blue forever and after trying and testing about 10 different nail polishes, I was so happy when I finally saw this gorgeous shade at a massive bourjois stand in Boots! It applies completely opaque in 1 coat and dries in less than a minute, leaving that gorgeous gel effect. This shade of blue is perfect for spring and summer and really compliments a tan.</div>

<b><u>L'Oreal Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Admittedly, I was quite reluctant to try this as I'd heard mixed reviews about it. But when I saw the brush in person, I knew it was for me. I love the bristly, fibred brushes and this mascara gives me amazing length and volume without being clumpy. Although the formula isn't specifically waterproof, it lasts all day, even on my bottom lashes, without smudging!</div>

<b><u>L'Oreal Colour Infaliable Time Resist White</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This eyeshadow is the perfect middle of a loose pigment and creamy eyeshadow. Normally, I wouldn't go for such a light shade, but I sweep this all over my lid and it instantly brightens up my eyes and makes them appear so much bigger. I love the formula and can't wait to get my hands on some more shades!</div>

Hi guys! So as those of you who read my last post will know, I was in France recently, and of course, I raided the pharmacy looking for French brands which are overpriced or hard to get hold of in England. I was slightly overwhelmed at the mass amount of products and brands on offer, so I just picked up a few bits I thought I couldn't go wrong with.</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/AVvXsEjMmXoDI5C8oEDbIik8FmsTc4IBPsWwIs8xYFnfXAKs1ragyY6vgbTmPdtLWtagdX-w35EUvR8zBJj0m8h3dupc_vzmx3hVuDIFrpD17gakCfvjtcBjblOwS9v1N7B6rR8s4UhcsFf5p9c/s640/blogger-image-974845285.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMmXoDI5C8oEDbIik8FmsTc4IBPsWwIs8xYFnfXAKs1ragyY6vgbTmPdtLWtagdX-w35EUvR8zBJj0m8h3dupc_vzmx3hVuDIFrpD17gakCfvjtcBjblOwS9v1N7B6rR8s4UhcsFf5p9c/s640/blogger-image-974845285.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously I had to get some <b><i>Bioderma</i></b>! I mean a beauty blogger couldn't go to a French pharmacy and not pick up a bottle... Or two... Or three right? I bought two rather large 500ml bottles of the original formula, a small, travel sized bottle of the oily/combo skin version and a tube of the '<b><i>3 in 1 tinted care</i></b>'. This is basically an acne treatment/foundation/colour corrector in one! In the lid, there is a green concealer for redness and a treatment bb cream/foundation in the tube. I'm quite excited to try this so there might be a review coming up soon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I picked up the <b><i>Ren Clay Cleanser</i></b>. I must say on first impressions, I was quite put off by the odd, punjent smell, but once I had gotten used to that, I fell in love with this cleanser instantly. My skincare routine now consists of removing the bulk of my makeup with a cotton pad of Bioderma, then thoroughly washing my face with the Ren cleanser. After using these two, my skin feels baby soft and really clean but not tight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After about 6 hours in the car travelling, my lips were very dried out and I had only brought a lipstick with me and no balms (a mistake I will not be making again) so I was raiding the shelves for a lip balm or treatment that was less than €10 incase I ended up not liking it. I decided to pick up this '<b><i>Bio Beauté by Nuxe Raspberry Tinted Repairing Lip Balm</i></b>' (that's a longgg name). I ended up loving it! Texture wise, I would say it's like a raspberry sorbet or smoothie but it leaves your lips feeling like butter and completely soothed all the dryness and chapped parts of my lips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's everything I got from France! I hope you enjoyed this post and I would love to know what bits you recommend I look at next time I go! :)</div>

Hi guys! I'm writing this post whilst on the way to France (expect a haul in the next few days!). I used to be all for heavy coverage, matte foundation but recently I've been enjoying dewy, fresh looking skin so I want to share my 3 favourite bases and blushes with you as I think they're the key products to achieve a glowing, natural look perfect for spring and summer time!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Bases:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have one foundation, one BB cream and one CC cream to talk about! All 3 sit really well on my oily/combo skin and last for a good 6 hours at least without leaving my face looking like a disco ball.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is such a cult favorite and I totally see why. It gives quite good coverage but still looks natural. It's a really good base for spring time as it doesn't cling to those dry patches you've got from winter and glides on really smooth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was a bit skeptical about the whole BB and CC hype, but I really love this new release from Bourjois! The colours run quite dark, but so do all bourjois bases so I would get the lightest shade if I were you. It tones down all of the redness from spots and acne scaring I have and sinks in to the skin so it feels like you're not wearing any makeup.</div>

<u>Garnier BB Cream</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This has been my go-to base product for the last few weeks since the weather has got a bit warmer and I've wanted something a bit lighter. It's really moisterising and feels like the perfect mix of foundation and moisteriser.</div>

I don't think there's anything quite like a bright blush to add a pop of colour and bring a bit of life to your skin so I'm going to share my 3 favourites which are all from the drugstore and around the £6 mark, so super affordable!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Topshop Cream Blush Afternoon Tea</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is definitely my favourite cream blush I've ever tried, it's a cream to powder formula so lasts for ages and blends really easily as it's so creamy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>NYX Blush Rose Garden</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a beautiful coral shade with a slight shimmer so it really adds some light to the face. The packaging is lovely as you can see the colour through the lid and it's really light, so can be popped in your handbag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Sleek Blush Pink Pixie</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my favourite of the 3 blushes. It's the most pigmented and I'm a huge fan of the sleek black packaging. Pink pixie is a slightly blue toned bubblegum pink, so looks great on pale, cool toned skin like mine.</div>

I still remember the first ever MAC lipstick I bought, it was a few years ago and I bought Chatterbox after seeing Tanya Burr use it in a tutorial and since then, my collection has just grown and grown. I thought since I've filled up my lipstick holder, now would be the perfect time to post about my beloved collection of creamy, pink, vanilla-scented goodness!</div>

When it comes to lipstick, you really can't beat MAC for quality and colour range. £15 does seem a little steep for a lipstick, but they do last forever and they are well worth the investment.</div>

I love these four colours, but they're definitely seasonal! I have Snapdragon from the limited edition fantasy of flowers collection (currently in store) which is a sheer purpley pink with blue undertones, so makes your teeth look pearly white. Coral Bliss and Chatterbox are perfect shades for spring and summer, I use of these to add a pop of colour to my face. And finally a cult favourite and a must have in my opinion for any lippy lover; Rebel, a very deep berry purple. I wore this so much in winter paired with matching nails!</div>

I will start by apologising for not blogging for nearly 6 weeks! But my life has been SO hectic with trying to balance 6th form, work, driving and my pathetic excuse for a social life. My friend Alice from <a href="http://t4intedbeauty.blogspot.com/">t4intedbeauty.blogspot.com</a> was in the same situation as me and she's inspired me to get out of my blogging rut, so make sure you go check out her blog! I'm sure you don't want to hear my rambling and excuses anymore, so let's crack on with the beauty talk! :)</div>

So I've had my MAC quad since Christmas and I was debating between a MAC quad and the Naked 2 pallette for the longest time, but I ultimately decided that I don't wear a full on eyeshaow look on a daily basis, so I felt buying the naked pallette would be a waste, as I would only be wearing some of the colours. I'm so happy with the 4 colours I've chosen because I can do so many different looks with them and I know I will definitely get my money's worth!</div>

<b><u>Mystery</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my most recent purchase, it's a medium matte brown, not too ashy but not too warm toned so perfect for filling in your brows and using in your crease to add some definition and smoke out a simple eyeshadow look.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Retrospeck</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adore this colour! It's a beautiful cool toned shimmery champagne. I either use this all over the lid when I really want to brighten up my eyes, or sometimes just in my tear duct or under my eyebrow to make my eyes look a bit bigger and more open.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Wookwinked</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Such a gorgeous shade; a slightly shimmery cool tones bronze. I use this on the outer third of my lid and sometimes smudge a little bit under my lower lashes to create an easy smokey look.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>All That Glitters</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is such a unique colour, a slightly pinky golden champagne. I use this shade pretty much every day, just sweep it all over the lid and you look like you've put a bit of effort in without actually having to (my favourite kind of look).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I would 100% reccomend getting a MAC pallette because yes, they are expensive BUT there's millions (not literally) to choose from and they have a transparent lid, so you can see the colours easily and the quads are the perfect size for your makeup bag. The formulation is amazing, they're so creamy and pigmented and last all day on me without a base!</div>

Hi everyone! February has gone so fast and I can't believe it's going to be March in a few days! But that means spring is nearly here and the pastels and bright colours can come out :D here are a few of my beauty must haves for spring time, enjoy!</div>

<b><u>Pastel hair</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have white/silver hair and one of my favourite things to do is experiment with pastel colours and my favourite product to do this is the <b>Bleach London Super Cool Colour</b>. They are only £5 from Boots and come in about 10 different colours. They are semi permanent but I always mix them in with a conditioner to give a 'pink rinse' effect (or whatever colour you choose!) I think pastel hair looks good all over, dip dyed and I really have been loving pastel roots in blonde hair! :)</div>

<b><u>Bright blushes</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I'm quite pale, I can often look really washed out in the winter when I don't have a tan or haven't fake tanned, so I think a bright blush that adds a pop of colour to you face can make all the difference in your appearance. Here are my 2 favourites, both are super affordable too. I love the <b>NYX Blush Rose Garden</b> and <b>Sleek Blush Pixie Pink</b>. They both have great colour payoff as well as lasting power, so if you're on the market for a new blush for spring, I'd definitely reccomend these products :)</div>

<b><u>Pastel nails</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pastel nails for spring? Shocking! I know it's predictable, but I absolutely love pastel colours on my nails during spring because you can get so many beautiful pale shades and they make you look more tanned. I think Essie have a great range of pastel shades and here are my 3 favourites; <b>Fiji</b>, <b>Mint Candy Apple </b>and <b>Lilacism</b>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Lip butters</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I adore pink lips, especially a paler shade of pink because I think it makes your face look healthy and ties up any makeup look. I'm not a massive fan of pink pale lipsticks though as I prefer more natural looking pink lips. Firstly, I love the <b>Revlon Lip Butters</b> which are a sheer, moisterising lip stick/balm/butter and they're super creamy as well as hydrating for chapped lips. I have the shades <b>Strawberry Shortcake </b>and <b>Peach Parfait</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Lipglosses</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so so glad glossy lips are back in because I think they look gorgeous and make your lips look full, plump and healthy. 3 of my favourites are <b>NYX Butter Gloss Maple Blondie</b> which is a super thick, but not sticky, creamy gloss that lasts for hours! Next up is <b>NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss Beige</b> which, in my opinion, is the perfect pink lipgloss. It's not too pink or red or peachy or brown toned, it smells like sweets and applies evenly. My last beauty essential for spring is probably one of my all time favourite products; <b>Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfecter 01</b>. I cannot rave enough about this product- it gets rid of any dryness on your lips within hours, tastes like vanilla and sugar and gives a beautiful, sheer gloss with zero stickiness; the perfect every day lipgloss!</div>

<b><u>Rimmel Stay Matte Primer</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a fairly new discovery of mine, but it has soon become a staple in my day to day makeup routine. I don't really own many primers, as I feel like they can clog up my pores and end up making my makeup look worse. But I really love this new product from Rimmel. It's quite thick and white in consistency but soon soaks in to the skin and makes your skin feel soft, silky and perfectly smooth.</div>

<b><u>Rimmel Stay Matte Powder</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pretty much everyone in the beauty/blogging world has tried this powder and I haven't really heard a negative thing about the product itself. I love the powder, I have it in the shade 001 transparent so I can apply it throughout the day to reduce any shiny areas without changing the colour of my foundation. The only downside is that it smashes so easily because of the plastic lid so be wary if you choose to put it in your handbag.</div>

<b><u>Revlon Colorstay Foundation</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a bit of a marmite foundation. Loads of people seem to love it, but lots of people don't like it so I was quite hesitant to buy it, especially for £12.99. I knew I was going out for the whole day and needed something that would need minimal touch ups, so I thought I'd give it a go and I love it! It's definitely a full coverage, heavy foundation so I won't be using it every day, but when I know I need a foundation to last all day and give me full coverage, I will use this for sure!</div>

<b><u>No7 Pore Refining Serum</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would never normally use no7 products because most of them seem to be anti-aging which at 17, would be a waste of money. But this was given to me by my Grandma so I didn't have to spend my own money on it. I use this after cleansing my face but before my primer to make my skin smoother and more even. It doesn't give as immediate results as the rimmel primer, but is a nice lightweight option if you don't want such a thick product on your face and it really does help your makeup last longer,</div>

<b><u>Origins Zero Oil Deep Pore Cleanser</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is probably the best cleanser I've ever tried as far as seeing results straight away. If my skin is ever feeling particularly oily or greasy, I use this for a few days and your skin feels soft and plump, but not stripped or tight. I've had it since October and I'm now trying to use it sparingly because I'm nearly out and there isn't anywhere I can buy origins near me haha!</div>

Hi guys! I've been trying soooo many new products recently as I got some for my birthday, Christmas, sales ect etc, so be expecting lots of favourites!</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/AVvXsEiTWGXqYgWB0wEmkg-zkkQqlrm7ADJVt5djVcwO5wOifd74zfTch2SLndalvF7NUfOxr8j_o8B30e8IxzQ3AiLOJXcf8Gx3WQAUInbD13HCz7rTNox2sB6zlgrTHUhWh_r0vRYjaueooKQ/s640/blogger-image-1977690577.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTWGXqYgWB0wEmkg-zkkQqlrm7ADJVt5djVcwO5wOifd74zfTch2SLndalvF7NUfOxr8j_o8B30e8IxzQ3AiLOJXcf8Gx3WQAUInbD13HCz7rTNox2sB6zlgrTHUhWh_r0vRYjaueooKQ/s640/blogger-image-1977690577.jpg" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Batiste Dry Shampoo Tropical</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bastiste do the best dry shampoos, the large bottle costs about £5 which is a bargain. There are so many different scents for various types of hair. It will fix any greasiness in your roots, or you can use it to add a bit of volume and texture and make your hair smell nice!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've never tried Soap and Glory skin care until I saw this on offer. I needed a new scrub and I thought why not? It's both a scrub and a mask that clears out clogged up pores. Your skin feels really fresh and clean afterwards without breaking out spot prone skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>St Tropez Bronzing Spray</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although this is quite expensive at £20 a bottle, it's well worth it! You get about 20-30 uses out of it (depending on how much of your body you tan). It gives you a natural bronzed looking tan with no orangeness or streaks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><b>Fudge Urban Raspberry and Vanilla Styling Mouse</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was on sale at my local Superdrug for about £2.50 for this huge bottle. You apply it to damp, washed hair then style as normal for a bit of extra hold. It smells amazing and adds a bit more texture to your hair- a great alternative to hairspray!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Barry M Textured Nails Duchess</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This new textured range from Barry M are probably my favourites. The shade I have, Duchess, is a beautiful pinky bronze glitter with sequins in. You only need one layer, as it is thick in consistency and is perfect if you're in a rush, but still want glittery nails.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm Showy</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got SO excited when I saw the new matte formula had come to my local Boots. I love the original balm stain and I also love matte lips, so I knew this product would be perfect for me. The colour is a cool toned fushia/bubblegum pink and is very opaque upon application. It lasts for hours and hours, even when you're eating and drinking. What I love the most about this product is that it manages to be super matte without drying out your lips.</div>

<b><u>MAC Woodwinked and All That Glitters</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took me so long to justify spending £6 on the palette, then £10 on each eyeshadow, so I was overjoyed when I received my pallette for Christmas! The eyeshadows are well worth the money, they are so pigmented with minimal fall out and last all day on the lids. I want a colour for my eyebrows next. Do any of you have suggestions for me? :D</div>

<b><u>Bobbi Brown Intensifying Long-Wear Mascara</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although the wand is tiny compared to most mascaras, one or two coats of this and your lashes look miles long! This is one of the only mascaras that doesn't smudge on my oily eyelids so it's perfect on your lower lashes or to separate clumpy lashes :)</div>

I have just wrote up 5 new beauty posts that will be up next week so that's my apology for being the worst blogger ever! But mock exams and my birthday and driving lessons and general life just gets in the way sometimes but I will make up for it with a review on one of my favourite drugstore products, Revlon Balm Stains.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As far as I am aware, there are 3 different variations of this product; the <b>colour boost matte balms</b>, the <b>colour boost lacquer balms</b> and the original <b>balm stain</b>. I have tried out all 3 formulas and if you keep reading, you will find out which one came out on top!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to pick one from each range to compare, so I chose whimsical, crush and showy as they are all wintery shades I knew would be the most wearable for this time of year and I could really put to the test. Honey is a typical berry shade, showy is a blue toned fushia and whimsical is a dark, shimmery pink.</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;">
Here are the first swatches, as you can see, the balm stain came out quite glossy but not too sheer. The matt balm came out really opaque and pigmented and the lacquer balm is very sheer and glossy. Upon application, they all felt smooth and silky and smelt like peppermint (yum) I found the matt balm had the best colour payoff, the balm stain gave my lips a plump, glossy look and the lacquer balm gave a slight tint of colour, but felt the most nourishing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<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;">
After intense rubbing/washing, here is the result of the swatches! The matt balm and balm stain stayed out my skin and still appear quite pigmented, which is what I found when they were on my lips too. The lacquer balm quickly washed off though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the winner was..... The <u style="font-weight: bold;">matt balm in showy!</u> I really loved the formula of all 3, but this version lasted all day with 2 or 3 touch ups after eating and drinking. For a matt lip product, it wasn't drying on the lips at all like I thought it would be. I LOVE the colour too! It's a bright pink with blue undertones which makes your teeth look whiter. It also complimented my ashy hair, fair hair and green eyes perfectly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoyed this review! Let me know if you've tried any Revlon lip products and what your opinions were!</div>

<span class="s5" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My names Casey, and I run A Topsy Turvy blog. Today's post is ‘Drug store dupes’ of types..There are a lot of different products on the market, and whilst they aren't exact dupes (colour wise), they do the same job as the higher end brands.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span class="s5">Two new releases this year have been the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder</span><span class="s5"> - I seriously love this powder. It doesn't dry out my skin, and is just beautiful at reducing redness, and blurring imperfections - the closest you can come to this product in the drug store is the B</span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">ourjois Java Rice Powder</span><span class="s5"> - This was a relaunch if theirs as one of their first products back when they stared. This is a bit more heavy, and doesn't blur as well as the Hourglass powder, but it does high light really well. If you have oily skin you can use this as an all over face powder, but for those with drier skin, stick to using it for highlighting certain areas for a very natural glow. The Hourglass powder is pressed, and the Java one is loose, but they're both great highlighting powders to use! In this case I do like the high end one more though.</span></span></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span class="s5">For a concealer - the close contenders are the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">YSL Touché Eclat</span><span class="s5"> </span><span class="s5">and the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer</span><span class="s5">. They're both highlighting concealers, and can be used under the eyes to brighten the area, or on your cheek bones to highlight. The YSL one is a lot thinner and doesn't do a good job of covering dark circles at all. You do need to use a higher coverage concealer with the YSL one, which is a shame because it's a nice product. The Lumi Touch one has got great coverage, and is my favourite drug store concealer. I use it daily to get rid of my dark circles and I think it's just amazing. I do like the drug store concealer in this case. It's just a great all rounder.</span></span></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span class="s5">Primer time! </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">Laura Mercier</span><span class="s5"> vs. </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">Bourjois Illuminating Primer</span><span class="s5"> - If you put aside that one is pink, and more cream, whilst one is more of a clear gel, you do get the same outcome. They're both cooling and illuminate your skin - propping it for your base. I cannot decided which one I love more as they're both great. I recently ran out of my Laura Mercier one, and trolled the drug store to look for one that's the best dupe - which was hard as they seem to cater for oily skin more! This was the best I could find, and I do miss the cooling feeling of my Laura Mercier primer, but Bourjois do a great alternative.</span></span></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span class="s5">Did you know L'Oreal own YSL? So when they brought out the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">L'Oreal Glam Shine Stain Splashes</span><span class="s5"> I had to get it! They're basically the same, the same, as the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">YSL Glossy Stains</span><span class="s5">. They don't have as many colours as YSL, but the formulation, applicator, wear time etc... are the same. If you want the YSL stains but cannot afford the big price tag, don't suffer, go for this instead! I know people pay for the label, but this is really worth it. I'd go with the drug store product with this one. Same product for less money? Hells Yes!</span></span></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span class="s5">Last but by no means least is the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">Chella's Highlighting Pencil</span><span class="s5"> vs. </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">Scandaleyes Nude eye liner</span><span class="s5">. I got the Chella's pencil in a Birchbox, and I use it like every day for two weeks forgetting about my poor Scandaleyes eye liner. They're both nude colours, which you can apply in the corner of your eyes to highlight them, making them look more awake, and just overall better. The Chella's one if meant to be for highlighing, so you can use it all over your face...Well, maybe not on your cheekbones, but if you do want something to open up your eyes this is the perfect option for you. The scandaleyes one is waterproof, and you can also apply it on your lower waterline. Again, I cannot decide between them both! They're great products and for that certain purpose you can get either.</span></span></div>

Hello lovelies; how has your week been? I have had mocks and stuff at sixth form so I've had no time for blogging which makes me so sad :( as some of you may know, I have changed my hair colour sooooo much! Right now I have silvery white hair and I love it! But keeping your hair light blonde without any brassy tones can be quite hard work and bleached hair is so damaged and often looks it too. So today I have my top 5 products for keeping light hair ashy!</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Fudge Clean Blonde Violet Toning Shampoo</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought this stuff after I saw Lou Teasdale say she uses it. For 1litre, it cost me £12, which I think is excellent price wise. It smells so good, like sweets and cake, and comes out a very dark purple, as you can tell from the picture. You don't need very much to cover your hair, only 1 or 2 pumps because it easily foams up. The results really do depend on how long you leave it on for. If you just rub it in NAND wash it out straight away, it simply eliminates any yellowness and gives your hair a silver tinge. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes, and you will have lovely pastel lilac-blue hair that washes out with a normal shampoo!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Bleach London Silver Conditioner</u></b></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, another product for getting rid of brassiness. For just £5, this stuff not only gives your hair lovely cool tones, but leaves it feeling like silk. Plus I think the packaging looks amazing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Bleach London Reincarnation Mask</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having bleached hair obviously means it's very dry and damaged so it's so important you keep it nourished and moist. This is by far my favourite mask I've ever used. I leave it in my hair for up to 30 minutes for the best results, but if I don't have much time, it still leaves my hair soft with just one or two minutes in my hair. Even if your hair isn't bleached or dyed, I would definitely reccomend picking this up just to reduce split ends or fizziness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>TIGI Bed Head Mini Headrush</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This product is an anti-frizz spray that leaves a slight shine and shimmer to your hair, nothing glittery though, don't worry! Sometimes ashy blonde hair can look so dull, so this spray just adds a bit of shine and makes your hair look really healthy. It smells like you've just been to the hairdressers if you know what I mean haha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>John Frieda Frizz Ease Heat Protectant</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously the main way to prevent further damage to your hair is by not using heat, but I know it can be hard when your hair doesn't dry in to a perfect style naturally! I just spritz this all over my damp hair and run it through with my fingers for even distribution before blow drying. You can also spray it on dry hair before styling with heated tools to prevent frizziness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm always on the lookout for new products and reccomendations for my hair, so let me know if you have any :) Thanks for reading guys!</div>

Hi guys- sorry for being a bit AWOL for nearly a week now (oops). I'm such a bad blogger so here are my excuses; it's been the first week of school. That's it, sixth form basically takes over my life, that includes blogging unfortunately. As much as a loved blogmas, I sadly cannot blog every day because I just don't have the time, or the lighting, to do so :( I know I haven't been keeping count of my favourites posts very well, but I think I'm on my fourth one now so we will go from there :P</div>

<b><u>Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really love the bourjois happy light, so I was excited to try this formula and compare! I think I like it even more than the happy light and I've only been using it for about 4 or 5 days. Although I have shade 51 in both formulas, this is much lighter and fits my skin colour almost perfectly. It makes dull, dry skin look healthy and glowing, but not shiny. It doesn't last all day, but maybe a good 5-6 hours before it starts to become slightly patchy, but nothing a bit of powder or concealer can't fix. I<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> love this foundation and it smells really nice too!</span></div>

<b><u>Tea Tree Pore Minimiser</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a somewhat dupe for benefit's POREfessional in the way it's a skin coloured primer claiming to smooth out the appearance of pores. But unlike benefit, this product doesn't contain silicone and is actually a spot treatment as well as a primer, so it's great if you have problem skin.</div>

<b><u>MAC Highligh Soft and Gentle</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've already talked about this product quite a bit, but it's seriously so amazing! I get compliments every time I wear this (from my grandma, that counts right?!). It gives a beautiful glow to the skin and looks gorgeous when it catches the light. I put it on the tops of my cheekbones, on my cupid's bow and on the bridge of my nose to achieve that 'sun-kissed' radiant look :)</div>

<b><u>Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Extreme-Plump</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This lipgloss is seriously amazing and unique. Although the colour and application are pretty average in terms of lipgloss, the formula is incredible! Wait for about 30 after application and your lips start to tingle, it's such a unique concept. It makes you pout and pucker up your lips for the 'Botox' effect (in a good way). It's such a cool product and I've really been loving it all month, especially because I have naturally small, thin lips.</div>

<b><u>Fudge Urban Coconut Hairspray</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, I've already mentioned this product recently, but I've been using it every day for weeks now. Not only does it hold your hair style all day without any crunchiness, it smells like coconut and fruit- what more could you want in a hairspray?</div>

So we are a week in to the new year now and I've been working on compiling a list of all my favourites from beauty to movies to share with you all! I won't go in to great detail about every product because if it's made this list, it's probably already been spoken about loads on my blog somewhere haha! Instead, I will just tell you my favourite thing about it. I have divided all my favourites in to categories to make it easier too. So, without any more rambling, let's begin....</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaIppvSCUjZaI0AbhWde3ZqXzVa5LqxH9TqCQqC42wLbNiQW_GQXK8m9c1bClnM2WtVmlfy6nhLW6Su6qS4-B1O60ZXt7ppCOvTbYR3jmNGPhr7UCCk-Ot0ucDI8j0p_jhmVoawJASbLo/s640/blogger-image-1938635829.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaIppvSCUjZaI0AbhWde3ZqXzVa5LqxH9TqCQqC42wLbNiQW_GQXK8m9c1bClnM2WtVmlfy6nhLW6Su6qS4-B1O60ZXt7ppCOvTbYR3jmNGPhr7UCCk-Ot0ucDI8j0p_jhmVoawJASbLo/s640/blogger-image-1938635829.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Makeup</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was by far the hardest category to narrow down because I have tried so many amazing products this year, so it was really hard to narrow it down, but I managed to condense it to just 8 makeup items!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Bourjous Happy Light Foundation </b>this is a fairly new discovery for me but I've worn it every day for the last month and it's the best foundation I've tried yet. Stays on all day with minimal shininess. Full coverage but not cakey- perfect!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Revlon Lip Butters </b>amazing colour range. The perfect mix of a lipstick and moisterising lip balm, as the name would suggest, they're super soft and buttery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Sleek Contour Kit </b>amazing for contouring, not too orangey or ashy. Lovely highlight that doubles up as a beautiful champaign eyeshadow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>MAC Eyeshadows </b>unbeatable quality and every single colour you could think of. You can make your own palette with 2, 4 or 15 shades which is so cool. They last all day long without any creasing, even on my oily eyelids.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>MAC Lipsticks</b> available in tonnes of colours and finishes. They're so buttery and creamy and you can eat/drink and not worry about getting lipstick everywhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Maybelline Gel Eyeliner</b> I prefer this to my bobbi brown gel liner. Worn it pretty much every day since February and only used about half and it's nowhere near to drying up. Glides on the eye beautifully with ease using any brush and doesn't smudge at all. A must have!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Maybelline The Falsies </b>a reccomendation from Tanya Burr last winter. I have repurchased this time and time again since then because I've literally used it almost everyday. Gives you length, volume, definition without clumps. Definitely the best mascara out there!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Maybelline Colour Tattoos</b> these are incredible. I use these everyday as a base and I never get creasing. They should be a staple in anyone's makeup bag :)</div>

<b><u>Hair Care/Styling Products</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've dyed/bleached my hair sooooo many times this year it's ridiculous, so it's not in the best quality. I've really had to up my game in which products I use now and here are a few of my favourites!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Got2b Beach Matt Spray</b> perfect for achieving that 'tousled' look. I spray this on damp hair and scrunch to get the messy, beachy look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Bleach London Reincarnation Mask</b> if your hair is anything like mine, dry and lifeless, 30 minutes with this on will save your hair!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Fudge Urban Coconut Hairspray</b> keeps your hair in place all day without making it crunchy and it smells lush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Babyliss Boutique Soft Waves Iron</b> I absolutely love this, I use it on the lowest heat setting to create big, loose waves and it only takes about 6-7 minutes to do my whole head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Tangle Teezer</b> I use this on wet hair and it combs out all of my knots straight away without damaging my hair.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is more of the miscellaneous beauty section and there were so many products I wanted to include here, but the post would of been way too long if I did haha :P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>St Tropez Bronzing Spray </b>I use this all over my body every 3-4 days to create a natural looking tan. Doesn't smell too strong and doesn't look streaky either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo</b> this will save any skin problem- especially skin effected by the cold weather. You only need a pea sized amount though, so use sparingly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Origins Zero Oil Cleanser</b> this reduces excess oil build up without stripping your skin. I use this every day and it keeps blackheads at bay too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Britney Spears Fantasy Perfume</b> I have been through so many bottles of this stuff. It smells so sweet, but sophisticated at the same time, plus it's usually on offer at Boots or Superdrug!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>The Body Shop Chocomania Body Butter</b> I have tried most of the body shop body butters, but this one is most definitely my favourite. The scent and moisture last all day.</div>

<b><u>Nails and Brushes</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't pick my favourite nail polishes because there were loads I loved last year, so I decided to pick my top Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer colour, based on what I wore the most that season (L-R). Picking out my favourite brushes was much easier, as there were 3 clear winners for me ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Essie Bahama Mama</b> the perfect purple toned berry for autumn. Essie is my favourite nail polish brand because the finish is so glossy and they last for nearly a week with no chips!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Topshop Crystal Clouds</b> a really unique metallic shade. A pale mix of gold and silver with fine glitter in. Goes on opaque in just one coat and jazzes up any Christmas party outfit in winter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Barry M Gelly Greenberry</b> I love the Gelly hi shine formulation and I wore this jade green shade loads in spring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Jack Wills Hot Pink</b> I haven't really mentioned this product, only because it's such a summery colour and I only started this blog in October. The camera doesn't really do it justice, but it's a bright, highlighter pink and it really compliments a tan in the summer time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Real Techniques Blusher Brush</b> large, fluffy and slightly tapered- perfect for blush, highlight or contour! All of the real tenchiques brushes wash really well too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Real Techniques Expert Face Brush</b> this brush applies foundation amazingly and gives that gorgeous 'air-brushed' look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Real Techniques Brow Brush</b> I can never be bothered to spend ages on my brows, but a little bit of matte brown shadow on this brush makes it so easy and quick.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Topshop Black Joni Jeans</b> oh my gosh, I must have worn these literally hundreds of times. Because I have small, slightly chubby legs, these make me look.... Not so small and chubby :P I just think they're amazing and comfy and I've washed them dozens of times and they're still perfect! I love love love them, I wouldn't be without them :)</div>

Ok, so here I thought I'd just shove in a few random bits that I've been loving all year long! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>One Direction</b> this isn't really exclusive to 2013, it's been going on since 2010, but it's been a pretty crazy year for One Direction fans, 1D day, a movie, a book, a new album AND tour (31st May 2014 Manchester roll on woo!) so I thought I better mention them ;) Midnight Memories is incredible!! I love every single song on there; especially Happily and Why Don't We Go There!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Harry's Scream in Midnight Memories</b> yes, this was one of my highlights of 2013.</div>

<b>Gossip Girl</b> hands down my new favourite teen drama, I never thought I'd say this, but it's over taken One Tree Hill and The OC! Blair Waldorf is such an amazing person, I've fallen in love with Chuck, and then there's Blake Lively.... (Massive girl crush!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>The Great Gatsby</b> this was without a doubt my favourite movie of the year. Directed by my all time favourite director, Baz Luhrman and starring the gorgeous Leonardo DiCaprio- what more could you want?! So similar to Romeo+Juliet with it's eccentric feel and aesthetically pleasing visuals, it also had a killer soundtrack!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Lou Teasdale</b> I know I go on about her ALL the time, but I think she is the perfect human being and she's my role model in life, so I thought I'd mention her haha! I am so so so sooooo excited for her book to come out in April too- really proud of how far she's come :)</div>

It's been 3 weeks since I've done my last lazy day post (oops) but due to Christmas, new years, eating 10x my own body weight etc etc, I haven't been doing very much interesting stuff to tell you about. But with the holiday season over and school term beginning again, I have some cool stuff I want to talk to you all about.</div>

<b><u>Craft by Lou Teasdale</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Words cannot describe how excited I am for the release of this DIY book in April. As I'm sure many of you know, Lou is my absolute idol, I just think she's perfect in every way, shape and form and I am constantly inspired by her hair, makeup, fashion and life in general. So I'm sure you can imagine how extatic I was when I heard she was releasing a book about all of her industry tips! It's available to buy in April but you can pre-order it on Amazon now for about £11 I think! (Mum, if you're reading this, my birthday is in a month remember hint hint ;) ) and aparently Gemma Styles models in it too- what could be better?!</div>

<u><b>Interesting Boots Finds</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I live in quite a small town which sadly means a very small Boots, so I often don't get the full range of products that you can find in bigger stores. Recently I hit the January sales (and I hit them hard). Whilst I was at Meadowhall, I saw some unusual products in the huge Boots that I've never seen before and left me very curious to know more as I haven't seen them in the blogging world either!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first was a primer from Maybelline called 'baby skin'. I assume this is from the same collection as the baby lips. I didn't pick one up whilst I was there because I always like to read reviews of skin products before I try them, so if anyone has tried the baby skin, please let me know because I'm guessing it's a drugstore dupe of Benefit's POREfessional?</div>

I am relatively new to twitter, I've only had it about a month or so but I'm already totally addicted! I get really excited every time a youtuber or well known person notices me, so here's what I've been fan girling over this week; Estée (essiebutton) is one of my favourite youtubers and bloggers favourited my tweet which I thought was pretty cool :P</div>

Hiiiiiii! I hope you all had a lovely New Years! I had some friends over and we had pizza and played twister, all the usual things for 16 year olds ;) so one of my absolute favourite nail trends right now is chrome! I love it! I think it's a perfect alternative to glitter if you want something a little extra special and when it comes to chrome nail polish, Topshop is really on point. I adore the packaging of Topshop makeup with the doodle polka dots- super trendy and sophisticated. Here are my 3 favourites, I don't know what the names are though because it's not on the bottle and you can't tell which ones which on the website so sorry guys :( Topshop nail polishes are £6 which is very reasonable, especially because they're so long lasting and come in some really beautiful, unique shades.</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone! It feels like I haven't done a favourite in ages, probably because I haven't :P but I've been trying out more new products and wearing a bit more makeup this month, so I have quite a few stand-out favourites to share with you!</span></div>

<u><b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">White Tartan Scarf// Urban Outfitters</span></b></u></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've been at ikea today and I got some amazing makeup storage that is very similar to the Muji range so look out for a blog post on that soon! :) anyway, it was so rainy and windy so I wore my favourite scarf, this white tartan one from Urban Outfitters. It was £16 which I don't think is too expensive, especially for UO! I love the classic tartan print and I think these colours look really traditional and it's so long and soft. It isn't too thick either so you can avoid looking bulky.</span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Happy Light Foundation Shade 51// Bourjois</span></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I was a bit skeptical to buy this foundation after reading mixed reviews online, but after seeing Anna from Viviannadoesmakeup do a blog post on it, I was sold. It costs £11.99, which is on the higher end of the drugstore price wise, but it's worth every penny. The amount of product you get in one pump is the perfect amount, not too much so you don't waste any. I would say it gives medium coverage, hiding any redness or blemishes without being cakey. It's one of the only foundations that lasts all day on my oily skin without becoming shiny or wearing off. You need to be careful when choosing a shade however, you only have the choice of 5 colours, and they're all pretty dark so if in doubt, go for 50 (the lightest shade). The finish is radiant but not shimmery like Rimmel's 'wake me up', I would say it had a satin look to it.</span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish Highlight// MAC</span></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have been itching to get this for months and months now but I could never justify spending more than £20 on a highlighter. I always seemed to think highlighter wasn't an essential product because it didn't make <i>that</i> much difference but I couldn't have been more wrong. I've worn this every day since Christmas and I've received so many compliments on my complexion (mainly from my grandma, but still..). It's such a large pan too so I know it's going to last me forever! I use the Real Techniques duo-fibre contour brush to apply this because it gives a light dusting so you don't end up looking like a disco ball because that isn't a good look ;)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I first saw this skin care product in one of Tanya Burr's videos and it sounded£ like the perfect treatment for my combination skin, claiming to reduce pores, moisterise and clear spots. However, I just couldn't seem to find it in Boots, probably because it's only available in the really big Boots, you know, the ones that have <i>everything</i> in them! But luckily, Santa (my lovely mother) managed to get their hands on some for me. I use this morning and night all over a freshly cleansed face and all I can say is wow! This is my absolute saviour now, I'm in love. It really does everything it says on the packet and if you're looking for something to clear up any skin problems, then this is definitely for you :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Another MAC product I have had my eye on for a while but for one reason or another, hadn't picked up yet. At £15, MAC lipsticks are at the lower end of expensive lipsticks but they're worth like £100! Ok maybe not that much, but they are the best lipsticks money can buy. They're smooth and creamy, they last all day, they come in a billion shades and finishes (matte, satin etc etc) and they smell like vanilla! What more could you want? ;) you can eat and drink whatever you want and you don't have to worry about your lipstick fading. Snob is a gorgeous cool toned baby pink and I love it on when I'm wearing fake tan.</span></div>

Hi guys! Long time (3 days) no speak! After doing blogmas, three days without blogging seems like forever haha! After dying my naturally dark blonde hair every colour from black to red to white to ombrè, I decided to take the plunge and go lilac. As of yesterday, I had dyed brunette hair so I knew to achieve the silver lilac shade I wanted, lots of products would be needed.</div>

If you've been a reader of my blog for a while now, you may of seen me mention my hair/beauty/fashion/general life icon; Lou Teasdale a few times (all the time). I know her style isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I love everything about her look, especially her hair! I decided to go lilac because I don't know anyone with that hair colour and the one thing I hate the most is being copied by my friends, I know it sounds petty, but I like to be individual at school and home, so I thought I could branch out with my hair! I know mine is currently a bit darker than Lou's is, but it is a semi permanent dye so it should fade to her colour after a few washes :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>The Colour</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used 3 products, all from <b>Bleach London</b>, to achieve the silver/ lilac colour I ended up with. My hair was a medium, box dyed brown when I began the process. I didn't take any pictures because I did it at night so there was no natural light to see the actual colour, but if you look at some of my earlier posts, you may be able to see the shade of brown it was. I began by using the <b>Total Bleach</b> kit (£7) which claims to lighten hair by up to 7 shades, and I definitely agree with this! I have quite long, thick hair so I needed 2 packets. It was so easy to mix, just powder and liquid which turns in to a non-drip formula. After about 40 minutes on, the result was very brassy and patchy, only because I didn't use a comb to even the bleach, so I would definitely reccomend using a wide toothed comb to distribute the product evenly thoughout.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To get rid of the brassy tones, I followed up with the <b>White Toner</b> (£7) and this elmininated most, but not all of the brassy tones. I left it on for about 20 minutes and about 60% of the yellowness had faded! but there were still some brassy tones in there, but nothing a bit of purple couldn't cover ;)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The final stage of the dying process was using the <b>Bruised Violet Semi-Permanent Colour</b> which is an absolute steal for just £5! It is thick and creamy in texture, coming out in blobs (sorry, that's the best way I can describe it....) I used about a golf ball sized amount and massaged it through towel dried hair as evenly as I could and left it on for about 5-6 minutes then washed it out until the water ran clear with a pink tint. This completely got rid of all the yellow tones. Make sure you shampoo your hair before applying this dye and not after. It says it only lasts for 2-10 washes so it should become a much more subtle colour in the upcoming weeks so I will keep you informed.</div>

<b><u>The Care</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a lot of bleaching and colouring, my hair was feeling like straw, so I followed up with the <b>Reincarnation Mask</b> and this stuff is AMAZING! It's a deep conditioner so I left it on for about 30 minutes and it left my hair feeling like silk, I was really impressed. Not only did I get 3 mini bottles which each pack of bleach, but I also got the full size bottle so my hair will be in good condition for months! An essential fork keeping brassy tones at bay in light blonde hair is a <b>silver shampoo and conditioner</b>, they neutralise all the yellow tones. I picked up the ones from the Bleach London range because it was 3 for 2. I am so happy I did because you can really see the difference when you use them. These, combined with the white toner will cancel out any unwanted yellow shades.</div>

<b><u>The Style</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, for my hair style, I prefer something a bit messy with a lot of texture. Lou Teasdale just happens to be the embassador for a hair styling/care brand called <b>Fudge</b> so you can only imagine how happy I was when the entire range was on offer at Superdrug with 1/3 off! I got the <b>Texture Blaster</b> a few weeks ago and I've used it every day so now I swear by it! I spray this at my roots and use my fingers to rub it in, and you can instantly see the difference. My hair is normally flat to my head, but this product gives me so much volume.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mum obviously picked up on my new favourite product and bought me <b>Sea Salt Spray</b> from the same range and I really love this stuff! I spritz it on my hair when it's damp and go a bit scrunching mad, then let my hair dry naturally. I then spray on a bit more when it's dry and do a bit more scrunching the achieve that 'beachy' look.</div>
</div>

Last but certainly not least, I use the <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">the <b>Iced Coconut Cocktail Hairspray</b> and it was love at first sight (smell?!). For one, the packaging is absolutely lush! The product itself it amazing, providing hours of hold without being crunchy. But the best thing about this product is definitely the smell! Oh my lord this makes your hair smell like coconuts and tropical fruits all day long and I got so many compliments (from family, not strangers sniffing my hair..)</span></div>

I got 2 Babyliss hair irons, the <b><u>Wave Envy</u></b> crimping wand and the Babyliss Boutique <b style="text-decoration: underline;">Soft Waves</b> curling iron. I used the soft waves curler on Christmas Day and I really love it! I did my whole hair in about 7-8 minutes, which is pretty impressive because I have quite long, thick hair :) it's a really thick</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
barrel so the curls are loose and soft looking- really effortless! I haven't tried out the wave envy iron yet, but I might do a tutorial with some of the new hair products I got in the new year!</div>

I ran out of all my perfumes this year, so I was so pleased when I got a large selection of perfumes for Christmas! My favourite perfume range is the <b><u>Fantasy</u></b> line by Britney Spears, I got a large bottle of the original and a bottle of her <b><u>Midnight Fantasy</u></b> too! I also got this lovely set from Estée Lauder of 4 of their best selling perfumes, it includes <b><u>Modern Muse,</u></b> <b><u>Sensuous Nude</u></b>, <b><u>Pleasure</u></b> and <b><u>Beautiful</u></b>. They all smell completely different, so I will always have a choice of scent when I go out! My personal favourite is sensuous nude which is a lovely every day scent.<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

My grandma bought be the <b><u>Estée Lauder set</u></b> last year, and all I can say is that it's just as good this year! The whole set comes in a classy navy pebbled bag with a matching gold purse. The whole set has a gold themed packaging. The 2 palettes contain eyeshadows and blushes. My favourite product from the set is probably the <b><u>Sumptous Extreme mascara</u></b>, my one from last year has just about dried up so I was so happy I got a new one this year! The brush is so thick and bristly so gives a lengthened and voluminous look.</div>

Here are a few more cosmetic bits and bobs I got! My friend got me 6 <u><b>Benefit ultra plush lip glosses</b></u> which I adore! All the shades are so wearable and they last so long. I got yet another <b style="text-decoration: underline;">Body Shop body butter in Honeymania</b> and it smells so sweet and rich. This moiterizer is unbeatable for the price of £13 as there are so many scents to choose from and they keep your skin soft for days on end! I got some Urban Fudge hair products; my favourite hair styling brand! My mum got me the <b style="text-decoration: underline;">Iced Coconut Cocktail Hairspray</b> which keeps any hair style in place all day without making it crunchy, which is the worst! Plus it smells all fruity and coconutty :) I got another bottle of my favourite <b style="text-decoration: underline;">Sea Salt Texturizing Spray</b> too, as per reccomendation of my role model, Lou Teasdale. My favourite range from Body Shop is Chocomania and I got a body wash which smells like melted chocolate mm!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 of my favourite presents were some high end skin care products. I love my Origins zero oil cleanser so I was thrilled when I got the <b style="text-decoration: underline;">Origins Out of Trouble mask</b> which I'm so excited to try out because my skin really starts playing up when I'm eating so many chocolates :P I finally got the <b><u>La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo</u></b> that I saw on Tanya Burr's blog months ago and I'm so pleased I have finally got my hands on it. I tried it out last night and my skin feels so soft and nourished.</div>

Hi everyone! It's officially the end of blogmas now and I'm actually so surprised I managed to blog everyday for 25 days haha! I've had such a great time coming up with different post ideas, but don't worry, this doesn't mean the end of my non-stop blogging :P</div>

I know what you might be thinking, what does toothpaste have to do with beauty? Well the answer is <i>everything! </i>For starters, a great smile can make you look a million times better, but what is a great smile without sparkling white teeth?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you're an avid tea drinker like me, after you power through your 10th cuppa, the last thing on your mind is probably 'I wonder if this is going to stain my teeth?'. The truth is, every time you drink tea or fizzy drinks or anything corrosive, it stains your teeth, which is never a good look.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, I think I may of found your miracle saviour in the form of the new <b>Beverly Hills Formula Perfect White Black Toothpaste</b>. Yes, I know it may seem weird because it is a black toothpaste for whitening the teeth, but trust me, this stuff is so good! The black is just the charcoal which is an active stain remover.</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The best thing about this toothpaste is that you see results instantly, after only using it for 2 days, i began to receive compliments about how white my teeth were looking, which made me realise how fats the product gets to work. It is powerful without being abbrasive and isn't gritty like most whitening toothpastes. Another bonus is that it gives you minty fresh breath for hours on end!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This product isn't actually out in stores yet, but as soon as it is, I highly reccomend that you pick up a tube. Beverly Hills Formula is available in Superdrug from just £2.99, so is really affordable too :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will be doing a HUGE <b>New Years Giveaway </b>which will include 2 tubes of their perfect white black toothpaste, so keep a lookout for that!</div>

<span class="s3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); direction: rtl;">Hey Everyone! My name’s Casey. I run A Topsy Turvy Blog. I'm really excited to share this Drug store Look with you all.</span></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span class="s3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); direction: rtl;">There are so many great products in drug stores nowadays - it isn't difficult to create a lovely look for less! The products I'm using are all my favourite drug store picks, and I highly recommend them.</span></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">

<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s5">I started off this look using the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">Bourjois Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer</span><span class="s3" style="direction: rtl;"> - this one is targeted at drier skin, though they do a matte version for more oily skin types. This is the best drug store primer </span></span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I've found for us with drier skin types.</span></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s5">For a light base, I've chosen the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">L’Oreal True Match Foundation</span><span class="s3" style="direction: rtl;"> - I love this foundation, and it’s the best drug store one I've personally come across. It’s coverage is decent, it isn't cakey, and doesn't settle into pores. It’s just everything I want from a foundation - More dewy/natural over matte.</span></span></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s5">To conceal under my eyes, I use the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer</span><span class="s3" style="direction: rtl;"> - I'm not a fan of the Collection one, and I know there’s another one like the YSL Touche Eclat, but this is just right for my skin tone, type and conceals dark circles perfectly. I don’t suffer from blemishes, so if you do, don’t go for this as it’ll enhance/highlight any blemish.</span></span></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s5">I’m a big fan of peach blushes, and the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">Sleek Pan Tao Blush</span><span class="s5"> </span><span class="s3" style="direction: rtl;">one is to die for. It does took so intense in the pan, and the pigmentation is great for a drug store brand, but this, and all their blushes are really worth looking at if you've never tried them. They’re only £5, or you can get a blush by 3 </span></span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">palette for £10.</span></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s5">Eyes time! The Max Factor mascaras are perfect for those of us who are picky. They have a mascara for everyone - even though they’re more of a high price tag, I think they’re worth what you pay for. I've been using the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">Max Factor Clump Defy Waterproof Mascra</span><span class="s3" style="direction: rtl;"> for a few months now and haven’t found myself using anything else. I'm not a big fan of the curvy wand, but I can forgive it because of the look it gives.</span></span></div>

<div class="s4" style="margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s5">Finally on my lips, I used the </span><span class="s6" style="text-decoration: underline;">17 Mirror Shine Lipstick in Beehive</span><span class="s3" style="direction: rtl;"> - This is a cult favourite and was raved about so much last year - though it’s seemed to have died down now, I still love this lipstick as it’s a great, cheap light pink lipstick for those who want a natural nude lip.</span></span></div>

Now, I was always a bit of a 'makeup snob', thinking that products are only worth buying if they cost at least £15. Anything less is going to be bad quality right? WRONG! You can find some amazing makeup and other cosmetics for a fraction of the price in the drugstore, and the brand <b>Beauty UK </b>(available in Superdrug) just goes to show this!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can find their website here: <a href="http://www.beautyukcosmetics.com/">http://www.beautyukcosmetics.com</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I tried out the lipstick in the shade <b>Cupcake</b> and the eyeshadow/eyeliner palette in <b>Amazon</b>. I was so impressed at the quality of both of these products.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To start off with, the eyeshadow and gel liner palette (RRP £3.99) is an absolute bargain. Not only does this lovely set cost less than a fiver, but the quality is amazing too. All 6 eyeshadows are soooo pigmented! And the gel liners glide on really smooth too. I was even impressed with the double ended brush for application. So there are 6 shades, a shimmery bronze, a lighter bronze/gold shade, a deep purpley brown, a glittery white, an orange/rust colour and a dark grey shade. The gel liners are black and brown. All 6 of these shades are so wearable, especially for the holiday season because they're so shimmery and warm toned. They really bring out my green eyes so I tried a look using all the colours and I love it! </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I really love the lipstick too! Again, it's very pigmented which is great. I started off by exfoliating my lips with sugar so there was no dry skin on my lips, I then lightly dabbed the lipstick all over and blended it out with my finger. I really love this colour, a pale 'barbie' pink, as it provides an alternative to the classic red lip at Christmas time. It smells slightly minty which is a nice touch and lasted really well on the lips.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Overall, I am so impressed with the products I have tried and I will definitely be picking up some more makeup from their brand in the future!</div>

I've been having a bit of a long hard night and didn't know what to post, I'm in the process of writing a huge advice article addressing lots of common, teenage problems so if you have any questions you want answered, don't hesitate to ask!:)</div><div><br></div>So a lot of you have been asking for my answers to the tag I created and I haven't actually publishedvmy answers yet! Obviously I made the questions with products in mind, so if you want to know all about the particular products that inspired this tag, them keep on reading! :)<div><br></div><div><div><b>What products have stood out to you this year?</b></div><div>Definitely the <b>maybelline colour tattoos</b>, especially in on and on bronze! I have ridiculously oily eyelids so it's a miracle if something even lasts half the day, but these babies have all day staying power! I have also loved the <b>origins zero oil</b> cleanser because it takes away the excess greasiness on my skin with out over drying it, plus I got it for a discounted price at the cosmetics company outlet store :)</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Which makeup items would you recommend for young girls or people who are just getting in to beauty?</b></div><div>The <b>MUA undress me too</b> palette is lovely for beginners because it has a wide variety of neutral shades both on the warm and cool end of the spectrum and is only £4 or £5- bargain! I would also reccomend my favourite concealer, the <b>rimmel wake me up</b> does it's job like no other, not only does it brighten up the eye area, but it covers blemishes, not stick to them which is great for someone who perhaps doesn't quite need a full coverage foundation, but needs a bit of something to hide redness!</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Favourite high street and high end beauty brand?</b></div><div>From the drugstore, it has to be either Maybelline or Bourjois! Rimmel do some great foundations but the Maybelliene eye products can't be beaten for the price, especially the <b>falsies mascara</b>! And bourjois have outstanding face products, I would happily reccomend any of their foundations and I am currently loving their <b>happy light foundation</b>, plus they have the best bronzing products around :) for a high end brand, it has to be MAC! I just think the quality of their eyeshadows and lipsticks is unbeatable and they are definitely worth the bigger price tag.</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Most disappointing product you've tried?</b></div><div>It would have the be the <b>benefit they're real mascara</b> because I just couldn't get on with it :/ it no means was it a <i>bad</i> product, but it just receives so much hype in the beauty community and I don't think it's worth it, especially for the price being around £20.</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>A beauty item you use everyday?</b></div><div>My <b>body shop Chocomania body butter</b> or <b>soap and glory sugar crush body wash</b>. I love really sweet smelling scents and these two together creates the perfect combination! :) the reason I didn't pick a makeup item is because I kinda pick makeup based on my mood for the day so I don't reach for the same things all the time, plus I like to try lots of new products :)</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>What are you essentials for winter?</b></div><div>A good conditioner for your hair! I use <b>Tresemme total </b><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">moisture </b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">everyday and my hair hardly ever gets frizzy or dry! Also a good makeup remover because I tend to wear more makeup in the winter so it's important you cleanse your face thoroughly afterwards, I use <b>garnier rose cleaning lotion </b>which brings all my makeup right off and it's a milky texture so it adds an extra bit of moisture to my skin to prevent it from becoming too dry!</span></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Your favourite product for a dramatic, party look?</b></div><div>A dark, matching lip and nail! I just love berry shades right now and my favourite combination is either <b>Topshop lipstick called up </b>or <b>Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain crush</b> on my lips paired with <b>Essie Bahama mama</b> on my nails (and if I'm feeling extra sparkly, I have an accent nail using <b>barry m yellow topaz</b>)</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>What's on your Christmas wish list? (beauty wise....)</b></div></div><div>Well this year I have asked Santa for half of the MAC store haha!

Just a general sum up of the week, what I've been eating, watching, wearing, doing and a bit of a chit chat?<div><br></div><div>I've had a pretty good week, it's been a little stressful for Christmas shopping but I'm all done now so I can really start to enjoy the festivities that come with this time of year. I only have 5 days left at school this year (thank god). Normally, my 6th form term is 6 weeks, but we have been at school for 8 weeks and I am so tired :( there are some great things coming up this week at school that I'm looking forward to like the carol concert at the church and the school talent show!</div><div><br></div><div>Right, so to begin with, my star purchase this week has been the <b>Soap and Glory Yule Monty</b> obviously! Down from £60 to £27 for 10 of their best selling products in full size AND samples AND a £5 voucher AND a beautiful Johnathan Sauders designer box?! You honestly can't go wrong with this bargain so I would definitely recommend picking up your own box before they sell out because they're going pretty fast; there was a huge queue at my local Boots yesterday. I have never really tried many Soap and Glory products before but I used the Sugar Crush body wash this morning and I can't even describe how amazing it smells!! :D</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXvjJaPWhU25-QannNF-_p_4NXEVecaji6FfUKMzMztRBy3nq4oI8pQ91dqRGD1NrgSuIV93zN9BdkD4XYpFj11Z8t6YqX8P37i0whohqP2f5dALA_6VsvLQwZKXjxnLXfpd8cS_zqGs/s640/blogger-image-234582976.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXvjJaPWhU25-QannNF-_p_4NXEVecaji6FfUKMzMztRBy3nq4oI8pQ91dqRGD1NrgSuIV93zN9BdkD4XYpFj11Z8t6YqX8P37i0whohqP2f5dALA_6VsvLQwZKXjxnLXfpd8cS_zqGs/s640/blogger-image-234582976.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">If you live in the UK and don't already own a pair of <b>Primark Super Cosy Tights</b> then what are you even doing with your life?! They are an absolute steal at just £3.50 a pair and they are perfect for cold weather. They are completely opaque and just look like normal, denier tights but they are fleece lined inside, hence the name 'super cosy' :P they slip on your legs so easily and you don't need to keep pulling them up all day like regular tights either, which is always a pain. I love them because they keep your legs warm all day and you don't have to worry about them laddering!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsRglmALy1xBmjxnWA8HMpxdCf53jKBw5pveR_LZtVrzRD6RZrgGR19CoZI4hrzloRoOP8v7uhHzmjSt6-KZ60Cd7jVRQVKXy5eWXvU68wHgxgOT4p5c9GomRMZ1Vk1QusNePlDucCv-I/s640/blogger-image--1656280332.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsRglmALy1xBmjxnWA8HMpxdCf53jKBw5pveR_LZtVrzRD6RZrgGR19CoZI4hrzloRoOP8v7uhHzmjSt6-KZ60Cd7jVRQVKXy5eWXvU68wHgxgOT4p5c9GomRMZ1Vk1QusNePlDucCv-I/s640/blogger-image--1656280332.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Something else that happened this week that I thought was pretty exciting was that I got tweeted by one of my favourite youtubers and bloggers, Anna from <b>Viviannadoesmakeup</b>! I got way too over excited but I'm new to this whole twitter thing so I thought it was pretty cool :p her blog is amazing and I have been watching her videos for like 2 years now and it's great to see how successful she has become :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOMhE9NOtXHjVY3oRx9lgWwUrJ9WwLeuGIaEnDTrMkt_aGtUzbjfuzEvuzOlfF9mccD043D1MBA3F-ZJCO0sg5-Eiw4q0Cxqu2dTgSMCMD4ZinK2bo65RCvacNHvfHBBsJp9rtWjNLd0/s640/blogger-image-329154532.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOMhE9NOtXHjVY3oRx9lgWwUrJ9WwLeuGIaEnDTrMkt_aGtUzbjfuzEvuzOlfF9mccD043D1MBA3F-ZJCO0sg5-Eiw4q0Cxqu2dTgSMCMD4ZinK2bo65RCvacNHvfHBBsJp9rtWjNLd0/s640/blogger-image-329154532.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfC_mvD7O2giCHPnnIySwWX0kZZPIXdzle0_HS9B_btH7aC0SgEHY97dbpIk4IQEfT5K4yyS3fE7yK5jxz2KjBF_Xm6pS-z6fkZ1dG9HXej1R7OTp0wK6Z04DlRYWH5SiSmIYocj9_dt4/s640/blogger-image--778482727.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfC_mvD7O2giCHPnnIySwWX0kZZPIXdzle0_HS9B_btH7aC0SgEHY97dbpIk4IQEfT5K4yyS3fE7yK5jxz2KjBF_Xm6pS-z6fkZ1dG9HXej1R7OTp0wK6Z04DlRYWH5SiSmIYocj9_dt4/s640/blogger-image--778482727.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This week was also quite stressful because I have had my room redecorated, I had my old, grubby carpet taken up and replaced with a lovely, laminate floor and I've moved my furniture around too, put up a few new posters and fairy lights and had a general tidy up in my bedroom. This meant that my room was an absolute tip for most of the week, but it's finally all done and I will have a <b>bedroom tour</b> up sometime in the week!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg5SF7d9VSUDZLCMjwBehzFvjgSpJHFNVXMfiCNXPEOT0ec2bPHkonIsiiwYofT_7OZ06Pg_cEhfmQNloy-KljcvX6e4wbbGoUvDHDJk5jU6oucbMc59KrlMPvkX1veDfz0Uq7f8m2opw/s640/blogger-image--574139622.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg5SF7d9VSUDZLCMjwBehzFvjgSpJHFNVXMfiCNXPEOT0ec2bPHkonIsiiwYofT_7OZ06Pg_cEhfmQNloy-KljcvX6e4wbbGoUvDHDJk5jU6oucbMc59KrlMPvkX1veDfz0Uq7f8m2opw/s640/blogger-image--574139622.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Hope you've all had a really lovely weekend and I can't wait to share some of my new posts with you in the week!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Jess x</i></div></div><br></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14980758351154731778noreply@blogger.com9
