<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello Everybody!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So as you can tell by the title, I thought it would be nice to share with you what I brought from KIKO Cosmetics, the last time I went make-up shopping. I did pick up a few new items as their WANDERLUST collection had not long been released and it looked fab!</span></div>

I do occasionally have dry patches on my face as I have quite sensitive skin, so i needed something which wouldn't be too harsh against my skin. The coral pink is a beautiful colour, making it a unique brush to add to your collection. It is definitely a product I would recommend. I do however believe it is a limited edition product, from the ARTIST collection, so I am not 100% how long you will be able to get your hands on this for!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I like to use this brush for bronzer as I find that it applies it well, as a little goes a long way. It blends products out lovely and its size is great for a less chiseled and more sun touched look.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was literally so so excited to try this product when I brought it. I was after a big bronzer which I could just lightly run a large brush over rather than a small one which I would have to use a blusher brush or a contour brush for. It's called 'Desert Dunes' and it looks like this:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I cannot get over how gorgeous this bronzer is! It is one of the more expensive products from KIKO as it is from their new summer collection. However the for the size and the fact that it smells like chocolate! *resists a nibble* It is a bronzer which definitely caught my eye. As for the product itself, you really only need a little as it's pigmentation is really good. Too much of this however, starts to look a tad orange, hence why I only use a little, to literally add a bit of colour to my face. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a more disheartened note, I also brought this, it is the 'Sunshine' powder foundation in the shade 203. After my amazing experience with the bronzer I had high hopes for this, but it didn't live up to my expectations. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly, it is far too dark for me! after sampling on my hand it looked alright, and after blending and concealer I figured it would be worth the try as I haven't used a powder foundation before. Application isn't great either, it is really pigmented but it takes to my face in patches, causing a rather uneven and again patchy finish. Rather than waste it though, I have taken to using it as a matt bronzer, using it below my cheekbones.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So when I spotted this I was intrigued. I'm not big on asking for help at beauty counters, I would rather drift around myself and figure out what my skin likes/dislikes. Its called 'Blooming Glow' and is a face serum which contains vitamins which help boost your skins complexion. Yes, the pretty pearled beads did sway me to buy it! but I was more drawn to it due to its appearance. Because I find that the word serum, is more typically associated with anti-aging products which admittedly frighten me a little bit... (I'm only 20!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to use the serum before I put on my moisturiser in the morning and occasionally on its own at night. I absolutely love this product! It really refreshes the skin, I feel more awake - sometimes lattes dont cut it!- and it makes my skin super soft, which makes putting my foundation on less of a chore!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This gorgeous nude lip liner is in the shade 700. Again, I had never owned a lip liner until this one, so KIKO have transformed me! I was however, looking for one. The colour is so pigmented and doesn't wash me out unlike other variations of nude, it has a creamy consistency and goes beautifully with my Rimmel Kate nude lipstick in 45.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Final purchase from KIKO came in the form of a mascara, which promised to lengthen and curl lashes. Its packaging gave off a MAC vibe which I liked. I do love a good packaging! but I would rather be wowed by the product itself!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a huge lover of Roller Lash by Benefit but I do think that it isn't a mascara I can continuously buy because of the price. So whilst in KIKO I searched for a similar sounding product and came across this. Although it is much cheaper it is a brilliant mascara. It lengthens, curls and really makes my eyes stand out, however I feel like its drying out much more quickly than I had anticipated! I am so excited to try more variations in mascara because they are fab for the price! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> have to admit, motivation is something which I struggle with (I know you who are reading this will be nodding your heads thinking "she never blooming posts!") so yeah. It is literally next to non existent, and whilst I blame my depression for most of it, I know that the other segment is me just being, well, me!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">It frustrates me incredibly when I leave my blog for so long because I genuinely love writing on it, but there is a gap, between what I want to do and actually doing it... so that's where this post comes in! I've decided to write a post (as the title states) on how to stay motivated, which even I will refer to when I lack energy. Staying motivated is mostly about how you perceive something, if its challenging we may just be tempted to leave it until another day. If its easy, we may just be tempted to do the same thing, its difficult really. My example would be this blog, I enjoy every aspect of it, but because I wasn't receiving the subscribers, I thought my readers didn't enjoy or like my content which made me less enthusiastic about posting often. Additionally, finding something fun and new to write about challenged me, I don't want to be like every other beauty blogger out there, I want to be unique, as does everyone, so finding my niche contributes to my motivation. I thought I would throw in a few things I like to do if I have assignments due in, which encourage me to sit and at least write parts of my assignment gradually to make it less stressful. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">1) Music - Personally, listening to the sound of rain, really relaxes me, its a continuous sound (until it stops) which allows me to work, without me wanting to sing along to it, like I would Beyonce or Taylor Swift. I found an app called 'Defonic' which I am totally in love with, I believe it is just for android users but its fab! If you can access it, check it out, and let me know what you think. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">2) Nibbles - I am a nibbler at heart. Snacks and nibbles are the way forward in my eyes! I am a fan of the 'share' bags of crisps (especially Kettle Chips) being solely for me, and claiming the pot of hummus to keep dipping my bread sticks in to. These things keep my mind from being totally fixated on my laptop and allow me to drift away from the screen once in a while. It also lets me think whilst I nibble, and the large quantities of food prevent me from creeping back downstairs to the fridge every 10 minutes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">3) Water and Fruit - Although fruit could be a nibble, I like to think of it as separate, as I see nibbles as 'indulgent food' and although I like fruit, I dont think of it like that! Blueberries and pineapple are my favourites and I consider myself being healthy and eating brain food when I eat them. Water is just a must have when working, although I like my indulgent snacks when it comes to beverages, water is kind of my go-to. I dont feel thoroughly hydrated unless I've drank water, which makes it perfect for when I'm studying. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">4) Exercise - Those of you who know me personally know that I want to be a health and exercise guru but i'm just not. I do like to go on walks as the weather doesn't really bother me, and It gives me time to clear my head if i'm stressed out or tired. Its quite nice as a break as well, taking in your surroundings and being thankful for what you have, its a lovely feeling. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">5) Being Social - Having assignment after assignment can be hard when trying to be a social butterfly. I wouldn't consider myself anti-social but I would rather stay in and watch a film than go out partying. I have learnt that its important to make time for loved ones, including your friends. Its ok to let your hair down if you want to, or have a catch up over a coffee. I always thought I was ok with being cooped up in my own little world, and I am, but you start to dwell on problems more than you need to and begin to forget what's important in life. So try to have a balance, taking an hour out for a coffee might motivate you more than if you were sat staring at your computer screen for an hour ay? </span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">So there you have it, ways I try and stay motivated. Do you have any ideas on how to stay motivated? Let me know in the comments! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, just to make it clear, i am 19 years old and am currently NOT having a baby. This is a little something my boyfriend and i put together for his mum who IS having a baby :) This post is quite different to my normal posts but i do want to venture from my beauty roots and write a bit more about other things and this is where i am starting off! Let me know in the comments below if you like my new post and would like to see more posts as opposed to just beauty :) </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am super excited, i have younger family members such as cousins and what not but i don't really remember my pregnant aunts or anything like that so its pretty amazing to me, especially because i live with her, so i get to see her little bump grow, its so cute! </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">back to the hamper- i decided to create a little basket hamper thingy which would be from me and my boyfriend which had a few 'key items' so to speak of things she might need as soon as the bundle is born. I opted for Johnson's products for washing and bathing as to me, you can't really go wrong with Johnson's for babies, or adults for that matter, i do love a good sprinkle of baby powder when i get out of the bath, oh and the smell, who doesn't love that smell seriously? </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggmT-G3Npu8sP4ai3p-gchfWXu3f9RBT_hJA5GZMrqsy-RXabIjOle3s9DN1ROTKVwuHe_RxcWOATKWB-bY5isGKfNlwuikSNrme9RutPpHkd6x0DWd-RHuBwgPm1CuHqdPCwzjdt9NG4/s1600/IMG_0567.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggmT-G3Npu8sP4ai3p-gchfWXu3f9RBT_hJA5GZMrqsy-RXabIjOle3s9DN1ROTKVwuHe_RxcWOATKWB-bY5isGKfNlwuikSNrme9RutPpHkd6x0DWd-RHuBwgPm1CuHqdPCwzjdt9NG4/s1600/IMG_0567.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So i got three bath products and a shampoo one which all have the little red sticker which says 'no more tears' to reduce the risk of crying babies if the product gets in their eyes. From right to left (because i like to be different) we have <b><i>Johnson's baby shampoo</i></b> which is a honey yellow shade and smells literally like i would expect babies to smell, failing that it smells sort of citrus-y and honey-like i suppose and its also the smell of the yellow baby oil i believe. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next we have the the <i><b>Johnson's baby bath</b> </i>which can be used everyday as it is so gentle. It is a pale blue in colour and smells similar to the baby shampoo but much softer and more floral as you would expect a bath product to smell, this super fresh little bottle is so natural its 'as pure as water' and its balanced pH means it is super kind to baby's skin. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The chunky purple bottle contains <b><i>Johnson's baby bedtime bath </i></b>which says that it has 'been proven to help your baby sleep better' and what new mum doesn't want a baby which has a peaceful nights sleep? i happen to love this product myself as it smells divine. I don't quite know what it has in it as it doesn't state the exact aromas on the ingredients list but i love it anyway! it does state however that it has 'Natural Calm' in each bedtime product which is a blend of relaxing aromas to help you sleep.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lastly we have <b><i>Johnson's baby top-to-toe bath</i></b> which has such natural properties that it is not only ideal for both bath and hair but it is suitable for baby's first bath. The fragrance of this product is a very subtle version of the baby shampoo with a pump lid which helps with the amount of product you get out of the bottle. Again it is pH balanced suitable for everyday use and the pale yellow colour is personally very suitable for new babies! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I picked up this little fellow from John Lewis but i seriously couldn't resist him, yes i know I've genderised it but just look at its little face! <b>JELLY CAT</b> products are quite expensive for what they are but i wanted the new arrival to make my toy his favourite! Its a little orange giraffe with a ribbon mane and tail. It also has the cutest bell inside which rings delicately if that makes sense, so it isn't too harsh on the baby's ears as it is suitable from birth. This <b><i>chime chums giraffe</i></b> which i have called Henry lead me to buy the next product which is a <b><i>bashful bunny soother </i></b>in white.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This baby comforter is super soft and if i could get away with it i would buy one for myself! the texture and material is literally comforting and i'm so glad i picked this up. Also from <b>JELLY CAT</b> it was quite expensive for what it is but i think it was worth it for the little one as it is also suitable from birth. A simple square of material attached rather cutely to a white rabbit makes it a toy and a blanket in one, perfect. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next three products were a bit basic for me to do a whole paragraph on their own so i decide to put them together and write about them as a whole as they are what i would call baby basic essentials. So firstly we have a twin pack of baby bath sponges which are super ideal for the Johnson's bath products i brought and it also means that they could be more gentle then using your hands as they are softer for baby's skin. Next i got a brush and comb set from <i style="font-weight: bold;">Tommee Tippee </i>which are used to comb and brush baby's first locks (if they have any!). Finally <b><i>Bepanthen</i></b> is a Nappy Care Ointment cream which helps protect your baby's bottom from nappy rash, so i picked a tube of this up as an alternative to <b><i>Sudocream </i></b>as it is specific for this need. However i reckon a pot of <b><i>Sudocream</i></b> will be purchased at some point as it is just amazing at covering all general itches, rashes, cuts and bruises so it would be definitely worth picking some up for when baby starts to grow. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This next product is a little hard to see without a baby actually wearing it. It is a super adorable faux fur cream hooded shawl, the material is super cosy and soft and i just think this is perfect for after a bath all snuggled up! so cute and very lovely quality. The ears just make this product for me as it has little bear ears which are so so cute. I do really want one for myself though as it is so so soft i just can't help saying 'so' because it is just so!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the last item i brought for the hamper/basket thingy and it is this adorable two piece set for 0-3 month old's. This set is from <b><i>Sainsburys</i></b> and i got half price without even knowing it was on sale which was definitely an added bonus! The little jogging bottoms are ideal for newborn's so they can wriggle around and still feel comfy and they are stretchy, ideal for a nappy to sit inside. The jumper which matches the joggers is the same pale blue with a white car printed on the front which just screams baby boy to me! it also has three little buttons on the left hand side of jumper which are also a pale blue and little elbow patches on the sleeves which just gives added cuteness! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello hello hello! so, another beauty product today - sorry if its not for you, or you're getting bored of these...- and it is the Cosmic Shimmering Gloss by BOURJOIS </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">in the shade 21 - cappuccino ice. I believe this product is new and hasn't yet come out yet? let me know in the comments below if you've heard of this product or if it has come out and i just haven't seen it out in shops! </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">BOURJOIS products always look rather appealing to me, they tend to have very desirable names, colours and packaging so i was sort of dissapointed with this product on first impressions when it arrived </span></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcZEqoax2iPSOKJOTu-aFivhT7hyJjvQBjHTG2prDIRVvVN1qjkLj5-j_95xKRs8C7EeVC8EcnfGk7HaVXkebvROX5p7M0FWyjxWp1CHBM91t1Dsv6q07O2p-q3oIE0VC3jyLVe3RlAe0/s1600/IMG_0450.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcZEqoax2iPSOKJOTu-aFivhT7hyJjvQBjHTG2prDIRVvVN1qjkLj5-j_95xKRs8C7EeVC8EcnfGk7HaVXkebvROX5p7M0FWyjxWp1CHBM91t1Dsv6q07O2p-q3oIE0VC3jyLVe3RlAe0/s1600/IMG_0450.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">OK, so forgive me if you like this but i just think its a bit plain... the random plastic top is a bit pointless and i just think it doesn't do the company justice at all. Plus it was a nightmare to photograph because of the holographic label! I suppose the colour of the lip gloss doesn't help the packaging's boring appearance, 'cappuccino ice' isn't exactly a thrilling colour either . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway, enough of the negativity. As i mentioned in my <a href="http://hellopeachess.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/new-lipstick-first-impressions.html">previous</a> post i'm not a big lip gloss wearer, mostly because i don't like the sticky over glossy look on my lips i prefer a matte classic look, however i noticed this shimmering gloss was 'non sticky' or so it said, so i decided it was at least worth a try. Now, who thinks i hated it or was pleasantly surprised?? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU6fhO3vmqRMfkDoFK7HYzB_7C6BhcrnwBTlEdn5ZhzaZpmJGKvgI_UO9IMBqeAVLmaQdVLeC8LonELZQ-JDHnEUHQAY2OK0TKTjgrIWYOg9md-wOa7XcAZrSvY7OAD4Z2fv3txAnkXps/s1600/IMG_0451.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU6fhO3vmqRMfkDoFK7HYzB_7C6BhcrnwBTlEdn5ZhzaZpmJGKvgI_UO9IMBqeAVLmaQdVLeC8LonELZQ-JDHnEUHQAY2OK0TKTjgrIWYOg9md-wOa7XcAZrSvY7OAD4Z2fv3txAnkXps/s1600/IMG_0451.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It really looks nothing like you anticipate it to look like! its smooth, glossy yes but i can look past that, it isn't sticky and it is more like a top coat for lipsticks? or that's what i would use it for. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The colour is very subtle and almost nude, the shimmer isn't over the top and i like the consistency even though i'm not a glossy person. Sassy maybe but not glossy haha! i did half expect a thick brown blob to just ooze out the end but nope, no brown in sight, so i'm not too sure where the cappuccino comes in. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Excuse the oddly shaped lips but i wanted you guys to see just how subtle this gloss was, its not in the slightest bit brown and actually just adds a little sheen to your everyday makeup look. I have to say, if i hadn't been sent this lip gloss it wouldn't have been one i chose in store due to the packaging. Additionally, due to the paleness of the colour i think this product would suit any skin tone due to its ability to adapt to your lip colour. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not really a lipstick wearer, i think it makes me look like i'm trying too hard to look good for the local supermarket cashiers, which by the way i'm not. I would love to pull off a signature Taylor Swift bright red lip, or even a subtle nude would make me into a lippy wearer right? I think 'Clown' every time i even attempt lipstick thinking i am much too pale, much too petite which makes me look younger than i am and much too me. I mean lets be honest, how ridiculous is that... 'much too me' but yet i'm the one thinking it! </span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, i wanted to stretch my arms away from the glossy nail varnishes and past the pretty eye shadows and into the unfamiliar surroundings of the lipstick. Little story for you here; i walked into Boots, went to each independent countery thingy (please someone comment and let me know what word I'm looking for here) and browsed. I had no idea of what i was looking for, only that i wanted a colour- great start- and i wanted a long lasting, pigmented colour as well. So i continued to browse and picked up a few colours sampling them on the back of my hand, like you do. I must have had about 30 different shades and consistencies of lipstick on the back of my hand, and to conclude the story, i ended up with three favourites. I love a happy ending... </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I brought two Rimmel lipsticks and a Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm, if you would like to know more, keep reading :) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The first Rimmel lipstick is mauve in colour and i would say fairly neutral as it suits all skin types. It is called ASIA and it is in the number 077 from the Rimmel Lasting Finish range. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The swatch of the lipstick is that it is very soft and easily appliable and has a slight sheen to it, which makes it very moisturising. I really like this lipstick due to the depth of the colour and the neutral element of it. Looking forward to using this one! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick is called ALARM in the number 170. It is a vibrant red and like ASIA is very soft and rich in its colour.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> As i have previously mentioned i have always wanted to pull of a Tay Tay look and i think this is the winner red for me as i am quite pale in my complexion with brunette hair a little pop of colour will hopefully brighten me up a bit if i can be brave enough to wear it! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Different from the first two lipsticks i brought i opted for this Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in the shade 205. I was rather intrigued by this one as the swatch made it out to be very lipstick like which i liked but i hoped it wasn't too glossy as i'm not a big lip gloss fan. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I have tried on this lipstick and i was quite impressed to say the least, the balm element is very much present in this product as it smells slightly spearminty and gives a lovely nourishing feeling and even makes your lips tingle a little bit! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello Lovelies, so today is Monday (crying) but i do have many exciting things happening this week which i am so so looking forward to! firstly, i am going out into town on Thursday night, first night out in forever! seeing all of my beaut friends who have returned home from Uni will be so nice cause I've missed them all loads! so i might post a few outfits on here if that's something you guys would want to see? Lemme know in the comments below or feel free to message me directly on Twitter/Facebook or through Email :). Secondly i am going away over the Easter weekend to Chapel St. Leonard's for Easter Sunday and my birthday on the bank holiday Monday! So lots of trips around Chapel and surrounding areas :) i will be posting a 'checklist' on Wednesday for you all to see :) and i will be taking lots of photos of outfits and locations for y'all to see so you can enjoy it with </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">me! :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So diverting from all the smiley emoticons lets get on to my beloved March favourites! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Because its March and spring is supposed to have sprung i kind of felt as though flowers of some sort had to be part of my favourites as i have been loving these ones particularly because of their pretty colours and because they do look a bit different compared to your ordinary bunch of flowers. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The combination of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths give the bouquet a spring wildflower sort of feel which i love as it looks like i could have picked them! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Ok so for me, along with this spring-like weather comes dry dull skin which is rough and makes me feel ugly so, i brought this Vaseline intensive care moisturiser which as you know its my March favourites i have been loving. I brought it with the belief that because i love those little Vaseline lip tins that this would work wonders as well and it does! it smells so fresh, makes your skin so smooth and sinks in straight away meaning you don't have to walk around 'air drying' before you put clothes on, and the best part is, it doesn't cost a bomb!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Next we have a mascara which i have mentioned recently in my 'Benefit Collection' post, and its the Benefits Roller Lash mascara. I expressed why i loved it so much in that post but i just feel like it is so lovely for spring as it isn't too heavy, if that makes sense? its light and lengthens and lifts and for me its perfect for subtle spring looks. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. My fourth favourite, is an intense read. Its very graphic, personal and a truly well written book and i love it, not for its content, but for the author being so completely honest and open when writing this book and the way in which she writes, which i just give her so much credit for. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. I have always been a ballistic person when it comes to Lush, mostly because i love the colour changes and the sparkly surprises when you lob your newly purchased bath bomb into your Sunday night bath however this month i have been loving the bubble bars, I've cheated a bit here because I've not actually used Ultraviolet (below) before but hey, bubble bars might be converting me in to a bubble person pretty soon. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello my lovelies, today i thought it'd be nice to review one of my favourite make-up brands seen as though i am doing my absolute best to keep on top of my blog posts for you lovely lot! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do have more than one Benefit product here as these are the products most recently given to me and i like to have more than one product sometimes, so it gives you guys a chance to spot something you may want to buy yourself :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First up is 'the PORE fessional' primer, it has a smooth and creamy consistency, and has a little tint to it which helps even out your skin tone and of course cover up your pores before applying your foundation. I have to say, its hard for me to find good primer and i mean good... most of them cake on my skin and just sort of patch on my face if you understand what i mean by that! its because my face is neither dry, nor oily, nor normal its a bit of all three really so its hard to find a perfect match. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next are my two beautiful mascaras which are titled 'BAD gal lash' and 'Roller Lash'. Personally i prefer using these two products together, BAD gal gives the dark definition with its wide and thick bristled wand and Roller Lash adds the curl and extra length with its skinny separated bristled wand, they are wonder mascaras! As you can tell by the picture i only have the miniatures but i prefer them as i can wiggle their little wands in between each and every lash. Roller Lash also has a gorgeous rose gold lid... oh my. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">High Beam is a beautiful silky smooth liquid that shimmers and shines just like a pearl effect nail varnish but for your face! its tinted pink and is just lovely, i love it what more can i say? apply it to your light contour spots for a subtle pink dewy glow. It comes in a cute lil pot with a screw on lid with a mini brush attached to it, so no more tapping the bottom of your bottle lightly, carefully, trying to encourage the right amount of liquid out. Its all done for you! its 'Beamiful' (see what i did there, oh yes.. i'm good)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So now we are left with Boi-ing in shade 02 accompanied with Eye Bright. Those of you familiar with Benefit products know that Boi-ing is a concealer particularly good as concealing dark under eye circles.. however, as much as i hate to say this, it just doesn't like my skin type at all... i'm pale and most of the time have dry skin which means it just sits there on my face, its quite difficult for me to blend it in and it is a tad too dark for me! Eye Bright does lighten it up a bit and this as a stand alone product is wonderful! it definitely does what it says on the tin, well, box... :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey Guys!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So its been a while.. i am sorry its been a difficult time for me at the moment so blogging just sort of had to take a back seat in my life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Any who i went shopping yesterday with my beaut sister and as you can probably tell from the labels it was a successful trip to Primark!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This NEVER normally happens... i like Primark but i never really buy anything. I mostly browse, pick things up and them put them back in a random place because lets face it.. the ques in that place are longer than those at ASDA on black Friday! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this time i brought things :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The crochet top picked out by my sister is one that Zoella actually brought on her last Primark haul video. I didn't think much of it at first sight but actually trying it on, its surprisingly flattering and doesn't look like something your Nan knitted for next doors dog. I am very into stripes at the moment and thought this would look nice with some black skinny jeans or maybe a skater skirt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shorts in the top right are just a plain navy blue runner short, now, i brought some like this from Top shop last year and thought those were reasonably priced.. no where near these bad boys as these were only £3! I like their simplicity and i love comfy shorts in </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">summer so these were a win win! The shoes in the bottom right were a little pricey for Primark i thought as these rocked up at £8 but having said that i brought them because i loved them and to be fair you aren't going to find summer flats cheaper than that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have actually always wanted to pull of the flower headband or crown as they are sometimes referred too, so when i went in i tried a few on.. i found that the big flowers really made my head look pea-sized and teeny but the smaller daintier ones actually didn't look half bad! hence why i picked this little beauty up with small pale pink roses dotted across the band with small green leaves in between them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Again scrunchies are another thing i wanted to be able to pull off so i picked up this cute pair which has one plain white one and another which is blue with small daisies on it. i feel like accessories are my weakness as i never really accessorize and i feel like i should? so hopefully what I've picked up is a good starting point :).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally i picked up these sunglasses... i love the big bug-eye ones which look so cute and fun but they just make me look even smaller then i am so i opted for these, which are a tortoise shell design (let me know if it isn't that i am not too sure!). I chose these because i felt like they would go with a lot of outfits and because of their colour I'm not being too boring going for a plain black or white. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, that's it! a long post for today guys, let me know if you have any questions/queries anything like that i would love to hear from you! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> x</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know its been far too long since i wrote my last post (sorry, sorry, sorry) its not very often i get to pick up new beauty products to try out!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am really looking forward to experimenting this year with new make-up brands, new colours, new tools, more diverse products and using my favourite brands more. So... todays post is a bit of a new start, i thought this new product i had purchased seemed fitting. It is new to me but not new to the market and its the 'ecotools retractable foundation brush'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i have never brought from this brand before as personally i think it is a little over priced BUT i did buy this product as a special offer item (£2.50!?!? i know...AMAZING supposed to be £9.99) and so i figured if it was a product i loved i wouldnt mind purchasing more of their products.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its been so long ive almost forgotten how to type...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">first impressions of the brand are good, its economically friendly and animal cruelty free which are always good in my books. It has this cute little bag which is green in which you can take your retractable foundation brush on your travels.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrLyqmE76FBcgUg8RQfHgYzJDOrg4tt2okPFx5IQ1-n8eHLcRV0G-sCdk3THuhi9bfTdGYs6Sb-3zsxROOka3NLa9yYDNmKNbjvhU-KxKtIkUpu3yAM4k6QbmxZ0cWK6_Ymz0JuT3MJGc/s1600/20150129_182321.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrLyqmE76FBcgUg8RQfHgYzJDOrg4tt2okPFx5IQ1-n8eHLcRV0G-sCdk3THuhi9bfTdGYs6Sb-3zsxROOka3NLa9yYDNmKNbjvhU-KxKtIkUpu3yAM4k6QbmxZ0cWK6_Ymz0JuT3MJGc/s1600/20150129_182321.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The brush itself is super soft and i quote "shaped like your fingertip to apply foundation with precision" i love this... its chunky and yet travel size, delicate yet durable and it comes with a lid thats bottom-of-handbag-fluff-proof perfect!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">its application is easy and streak-free even as a small sized brush and its bristles dont detach themseleves and try to become part of your face. Its a beautiful shade of bronze and i am very happy with my BARGIN FIND if you would like to know more be sure to comment/like or message me on Twitter/Facebook,</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today's review is of Benefits powderflage, for anyone wondering it is quite the challenge photographing this tiny weeny pot with an iPod camera so i did use the benefit website image of this product which i will post a link to at the end of this review! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know most people wont even consider this because it is a powder concealer. Yep, that's right powder power! for the people who know me well enough to see me without makeup (feel incredibly special right now) then you'll know i am rather insecure about my under eye dark circles... I've tried various concealers and correctors and i just don't notice that big a difference. I don't have mass amounts of money so i do try and stick to brands i can find in shops such as boots, I am comfortably using No17 heavy duty under eye concealer at the moment but again i still feel they stand out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had this little pot of pink powdery-ness given to me as a gift a little while back and at first i hated it!, it made my eyes dry, it made them shimmery and i refused to put it on my face. But, after learning new tips about makeup and how to apply it, i noticed a massive difference in the effect of powderflage when it was put on top of my heavy duty under eye concealer. it lifted my eyes when i had a moisturised background to work on, which made all the difference. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The slightly pink shimmery powder reflects light making your under eye dark circles appear lighter and less visible but, ensure you use a moisturising base so that it doesn't dry your eye area out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">at £19.50 it isn't cheap for the amount that you get, but its the only thing which has made me feel thoroughly comfortable about my under eye dark circles and i will definitely purchase it when i run out of my current pot, because although it is petite, you only need the smallest amount on the brush to blend in to make your eyes instantly brighter!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know why i love french manicures so much, but i do know why i hate beauty salons because like seriously why pay £30 plus for fake nails when your own are as good as any! Yes these are REAL NAILS (not mine though) Beautiful aren't they? i was the one who, however, managed the french mani procedure and i am thrilled with the results. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used Nail Guide Tips to create an seemingly effortless white tip and by using a slightly coloured base coat in nude, adds to the professional look. A little bit of glittered top coat makes them a little more unique and perfect for a special night out! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So yesterday i went out and brought three new shades of Barry M nail varnishes, they are of course from their Autumn Gelly Hi-Shine range as i figured it was fitting to add some colour to my very dark winter wardrobe. They are in the colours; Mustard, Chilli and Lychee. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although i adore all of the colours i brought i did immediately favor the Mustard colour as it isn't a colour which is commonly sought after, its unique and the colour is almost identical to the leaves wilting from the trees (rhyming genius over here.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
