<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 18px;">If you're looking for a good brush to apply shadow really easily to your lid, I'd suggest you get Sigma <b>E50</b>. It's a bit larger than the <b>E55</b>, In my opinion, the best of the bunch. Large enough, sturdy enough, and you can pack enough shadow to it.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">This is now my fave eye brush. For those of us that might just use an all-over the lid shade and run out the door, this is the perfect brush. It's big and fluffy and soft, but flattened a bit in a way where is just goes where you want it to.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">This brush shed quite abit. I used my fingers to gently pinch at the bristles and about 5-6 strands came off. I repeat many times and it continues to shed!!! </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">This is a very large, flat shader brush. It is fairly soft and when washing I didn't see any bleeding black ink</span><span style="background-color: white;">. It is a versatile brush. I use it for a soft wash of colour on the lid or brow bone, putting powder under my eyes to set concealer, and applying highlighter on cheekbones. </span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I wouldn't really describe this as a must-have brush, but it's still very nice for detailed work.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white;">I use it for highlighting my browbone, applying eyeshadow on my bottom lashline or smudging eye pencil.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: white;">It's especially good for connecting the outer corner of my bottom and top lashline. My eye is rounded and I have long lashes so this can sometimes be a bit tricky because I can't see that outer part really well, but this brush helps make a precise line.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I've had it for a few months and washed it several times, both with soap and makeup remover, but no hairs fell out.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It's not the softest brush in the world, but I noticed no scratching or irritation whatsoever.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Also, it hasn't lost its shape at all.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">All in all, I would recommend it to those who use a lot of eyeshadow and like more elaborate looks or do makeup on others.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">As I said it's not an absolute must have for everyone, but I really enjoy using it and it has proved to be quite handy on a lot of occasions.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">This is another amazing brush, It's great for blending in your upper and lower lash line, good for creating a smoky eyes without any messy fallout!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 25px; text-align: justify;">
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 25px; text-align: justify;">The point of the brush allows for precise application, which I think is awesome! If you need to get into the creases of your nose or just below the eyes and lips, the bristles are sure to get those hard to reach places. I like to get my foundation and concealer right up to the rim of my eye to cover up discoloration. This intense point allows me to do so. If you’re a makeup artist, its so easy to use on other clients, as without a precise brush, it can sometimes be a bit difficult with other brushes. While we always end up making it work, having a tool to make life easier is always great!</span></div>
</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 25px; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I can pretty much say the same thing about this brush that I did for the </span><b style="background-color: white;">Kabuki</b><span style="background-color: white;">. It’s rare that I use a brush to blend in my concealer, as I opt for a Beauty Blender, but again, if you really want to get close to the eye, it’s great. If you like creating those eye looks with a sharp edge, applying concealer with this brush just below the shadow is easy and you don’t have to worry about messing it up. Furthermore, if you need to clean up around your lips if you have smudged your lipstick or need a sharper edge, it’s small, precise design makes it easy to achieve that look.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 20.15999984741211px;">Blush - </span><b style="line-height: 20.15999984741211px;">F92</b><span style="line-height: 20.15999984741211px;"> Perfect for application of powder blush. Also ideal for shading and highlighting cheeks and face. Natural bristles.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.15999984741211px;">Because it's flat, I can use this not just for applying a blush but also I can highlight with it. If you put it next to F95, you'll see that it's actually a very normal sized brush (F95 is huge). Again, the bristles are soft and I am glad it's not very dense. A dense brush tends to pick up too much of the product (especially when you're dealing with loose powder blush) and you can end up looking like a clown. I personally think a flat brush is better at applying a blusher compared to a round one because when your brush is flat, your application becomes easy and precise.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 25px;">There were a couple of times last summer after getting some sun that I needed to find an easy way to blend my foundation’s color with the color in my neck because it looked way lighter than my face. I looked at some videos in youtube an saw this particular brush which seemed to be exactly for this purpose . So, I decided to give it a try. I’d had a very good experience with this brand so far so I was hoping this would also be a good brush.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 25px;">This is such a unique brush! First of all, the bristles are really soft even after a couple of washes. It doesn’t scratch my skin at all, which is great for sensitive areas like the neck. This Sigma Body Brush, like the name says, is perfect to apply products to the arms, shoulders, chest, legs… anywhere you can think of. My favorite use for it is to blend my foundation all over the neck and chest so that everything is even and the makeup looks polish. This brush has such a dense head. Because of its size if perfect to cover large body areas.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">As the name states, this is a blending brush for eyeshadow but over the years, I’ve found that it does a lot more than just blend shadow.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If you don’t want your under eye concealer to look cakey, you can use a brush like this to apply the product. It gives a lighter coverage and a more diffused look to the skin. You’d be surprised you know. Natural hair really does apply cream and powder product better and more evenly to the skin, with a lighter more natural appearance. At least that’s my experience which is why I prefer using natural hair brushes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white;">This Sigma </span><b style="background-color: white;">E25</b><span style="background-color: white;"> Blending Brush has also been touted to be a dupe of the MAC 217 blending brush but as I do not have the MAC one I am unable to compare. I do have another 2 brushes that look the same in my stash so I’ll show them to you below.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">All in all, I’d say that this is a good brush to have in your brush stash. It is multi-functional and performs well, plus holds up well to washing. I’ve had this one for a few years and the bristles still wash out fairly clean with just soap. I couldn’t complain really!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">The </span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">E25</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"> brush is a blending brush with white natural hair bristles. i personally find that the brush is quite dense, yet fluffy enough so you can use it to blend colours and edges. I personally use this brush to apply concealer under my eye area. in my opinion it is a great multi purpose brush, great value for money. </span></span></div>

Story of my life.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>Im forever seeking new hair treatments or mask, both shop bought and home made. I Had hoped into Superdrug over the weekend as I had run out of nail polish remover; Trying so hard to keep my eyes on the floor and not to let them wonder to across the aisles of heaven. Who was I kidding? I came out with 3 hair masks and a new Shampoo and Conditioner duo that I will be reviewing in my next post. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Two of the hair mask were repurchases, Both from Herbal Essences. I forgot how much I loved to use these. Not only does the smell alone make you fall in love with the product but the price. £3.99!!! Actually at the time they were on offer buy one get one half price! So it would of been silly to not have stocked up. I usually go for the red tub (Beautiful Ends) and the blue tub (Hello Hydration) Both of which are wash out masks. However this time I picked myself up a Beautiful ends and the gold tub (Bee strong) And as you guessed, Theres some juicy honey goodness inside. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />Since purchasing these I have used them both. The split end mask works wonders on ends. I use this once a week; I leave it on for a good 15 minutes while I have a soak in the bath. I shampoo my hair as per usual, then apply generous amount of this to the ends of my hair (not too much as it will just slide down the drain) I then clip it up and leave it on. If I’m having a shower and not bath id try my hardest to leave it on for as long as i can which usually is not more than 5 mins or so. The mask itself smells AMAZING. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />Ive not tried this particular one before and thought id give it a go. Im not the biggest fan of L’oreal products yet cheer for their Extraordinary range, The shampoo and condition are fab if your on a tight budget. This summer saviour edition mask its targeted to Dry, sun exposed hair which is exactly me, with my summer holiday around the corner I thought id give this ago. The mask states that it cares for hair that has been damaged by the sun, salt and chlorine which are all things I will encounter from my holiday. This mask is defiantly getting packed in my suitcase. This mask also has that summer oil smell. Pure lush!I don’t have the thickest amount go hair so I also ensure I fully rinse out all product from my hair, especially a heavy hair mask as they tend to weigh my hair down and leave it very greasy very quickly! </span><br />

I would definitely recommend this for everyone to give a try, especially those with dyed hair; And to all those heat styling lovers like myself… this is the kindest treat you could give your hair! I was excited to give the Intensive mask a try. The smell takes me back to a pool side moment, The smell has a beautiful honey and Apricot smell that reminds me of summer.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Summer smells like this tub! <span style="line-height: 24px;">Once I have shampooed and conditioned my hair like normal I grab a generous amount of this stuff, again not too much as the more you add on the hair the more it will go to waste. I tend to only use heavy masks like the eon the bottom of my hair however this time I worked it in my scalp from root to tip - as advised. I left this mask of for 4 minuets then rinsed it off.</span><span style="line-height: 24px;">The results were beautiful, I noticed my hair was defiantly less frizzy. My ends defiantly felts stronger after using this mask. If your hair is in need for some TLC id defiantly pick one of these tubs up, for the price you can’t go wrong! beautiful product with its signature smells that we all adore to lather up with!</span><span style="line-height: 24px;">I purchased L’oreals NEW Extraordinary oil nourishing mask .</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I was on the look out for my new summer lipstick, i tend to always have one as a signature and this year its Mocha, I love love love the peachy brown tones to it. A full on opaque lipstick, can be drying However nothing applying lip balm underneath won’t solve. This shade is going to really complement a tan.. I can see it already. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A creamy nude shade that glides on smoothly on the lips. It has a slight glossy sheen to it, Very pigmented. This is the kind of shade I like to wear with a smokey eye or heavy make up, its a subtle shade that can work with most make up looks id say, I love how it catches the light due to its slight gloss finish. For me this is a shade id like to wear for a casual evening look.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Whirl is most probably the most wanted lip liner ever since Kylie Jenner introduced us to her signature lip combo ( Whir Applied With Velvet Teddy matte Lipstick - Mac ) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Mac describe the shade to be as a Dirty Rose. It is a deep pink with brown undertones. I found that patinece is needed when applying Whirl as it is very dry. </span></div>

I love these T-Shirts and think they are great for summer, Sequin motif T-Shirts and sweaters are everywhere right now and are going for a lot more than £12.99, hence why I had to purchase both, i always find with H&M its very hit and miss, so If I find myself unsure about an item,I tend to always buy it and later decide at home if i want to keep it or not, I hate living in regret! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Today I’m going to be sharing with you my thoughts on the most talked about Gerard Cosmetics famous lipsticks! Their most desired shade is in 1995, It is actually a collaboration with world-famous makeup artist/Youtube guru Jaclyn Hill, and the CEO of Gerard Cosmetics, Jennifer Gerard. </span><br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1995 brings back the neutral brick classic brown lips that the supermodels wore in 1995.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> At the moment I own 5 shades in their lipstick range; Underground, 1995,Buttercup,Nude and Berry smoothie. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I order from their USA website, however recently found out that Cocktail Cosmetics online now carry GC which means faster access for us in UK and Europe. (I’ve just placed another order to complete my collection!) </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTtVoEYdBM3koHqv6RFhCwa9pxVf18dE8quiQKVt2kwK1AotEIP4RfiiixeXZQgstsIm-dSK9T9NWzEF6ZcCEacag8p7zmjGC16htLCRwXVUNhjt4gTTWBISx_uDvRxmBnf7nkFrVGsqqb/s1600/CIMG1374.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTtVoEYdBM3koHqv6RFhCwa9pxVf18dE8quiQKVt2kwK1AotEIP4RfiiixeXZQgstsIm-dSK9T9NWzEF6ZcCEacag8p7zmjGC16htLCRwXVUNhjt4gTTWBISx_uDvRxmBnf7nkFrVGsqqb/s640/CIMG1374.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In terms of shade, Underground is a beautiful dirty pink with undertones of lilac and mild brown, 1995 is a light terracotta burnt brown with pink undertones, Buttercup is the sweetest baby pink shade. Nude to me is the perfect everyday shade, a more coral peachy tone nude, perfect for that golden summer look; And finally, Berry smoothie is exactly what the name says, its a juicy berry pink tone thats mild and sophisticated. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What I personally love about GC lipsticks about from the sleek, classy GOLD packaging is the formula.They do vary in finish however are all very pigmented and have amazing lasting power.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Texture wise, I found that 1995 Nude and Underground are more matte in comparison to Berry Smoothie and Buttercup, which have a more creamy texture.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The matte lipsticks are not too overpowering which is great as they do not dry out my lips like others. I tend to always prep my lips before using matte lipsticks.I can go around 5 hours without any touch ups. Due to the creamy texture I found that Berry smoothie and buttercup did not last as well especially if I had been eating or drinking. from my experience, a second application made the colour last longer as they leave a slight stain behind as it starts to wear off and for this reason found it just works best second time round and really builds up the colour. </span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Coconut oil is becoming more and more popular and is mentioned more today than it ever has done. Coconut oil has been used for years and years in Asia, not only in their cooking but girls have been using it as part of their beauty regime for years, now in the West, this has become the latest trend and is being rated by celebrities everywhere</span><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Not only is Coconut oil known for the new trend of oil </span><span style="line-height: 22px; white-space: pre-wrap;">pulling</span><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> but also can be used in your kitchen, on your body, teeth and skin! All methods have been tried and tested by me.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Here are my top 5 ways to use Coconut oil.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>1- </b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Oil pulling has become very popular the past couple of months, loved and used by many celebrities worldwide. I am sure most people do not really know what products really work anymore and which are just a well advertised craze, especially ones celebrities are constantly advertising and promoting (#spons) However the thing is.. Coconut Oil actually works! </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mix a small amount of baking soda and coconut oil. Healthy, clean, fresh and whiter teeth in no time..and..with no added nasty chemicals! Give it a try! </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>2 -</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Coconut oil can be used as an all natural lip balm, Simply dab a small amount of coconut oil on dry or chapped lips and watch the transformation. Coconut oil is known to be a very hydrating oil that has the power to combat chapped lips in no time! </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you love coconut oil as much as I do and want to carry it on the go, why not dab some into an empty lip balm pot, miniature jars or even a contact lense case? </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>3-</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Coconut oil can be used as a body scrub/exfoliator which is very beneficial not only does it it get rid of old skin cells or any clogged up pores it is significantly hydrating! Which means great moisture for your skin..why not? </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To create the scrub is super easy! All you need is your prefered amount of coconut oil mixed together with roughly the same amount of sugar or salt! I personally prefer to use brown sugar.. Trust me on this one.. youre going to love it. This is great to do in summer as it keeps your skin feeling silky soft and hydrated. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>4-</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> The same with using it on your skin, Coconut oils hydrating benefits works wonders for hair.. especially dull frizzy hair like mine! </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is an AH-MAZING moisturizer for dry, lifeless damaged hair .. if you’ve got a million and one split ends like me.. you have to try this. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I like to use coconut oil as a deep conditioner/Hair mask before I shower, If I have the time, id leave it on for about an hour or so before stepping in the shower. Less is more with coconut oil, it can get a little greasy and can weigh down your hair if you use too much of it. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

This is my go to colour.3- 4 light coats and I have achieved the perfect colour. Its a classic colour, you won’t go wrong with this one. It was actually created to act as a universal sheer which could work on any skin tone; and in my opinion I feel it does suits every skin tone as you can build out the colour or have it as light as you want. This polish is a silky sheer beige. Essie are used worldwide in a majority of small or big salons, they are known for their beautiful formulas and pay off. </span></div>

I have a nail polish hoarder problem going on, however I still manage to really spot out the ones I love, this colour is one that stands out in my collection ( maybe because I have about 8 of these bottles laying around i’m not sure!). Fiji has the most beautiful stunning milky pink shade with a strong white undertone to it. </span></div>

Essie polishes are known to have a very shiny finish however I still like to use top coats to give it a longer lifetime. Fiji gets compared to O.P.I Mod About You alot however I found that but Fiji is definitely more white toned and a lighter shade of pink. I prefer Fiji for sure. There’s a girly soft touch to Fiji, it is very feminine and classy. The perfect nude. Whenever I have used this when tanned it definitely enhancers the tan which is a bonus!</span></div>

Be patient! I love to apply a thin layer of Top-Coat on top of fiji to give it that extra kick! </span></div>

I have stopped wearing the brights and neons for summer, who knows I may get back into them, it really depends who what where and when, However lately I like to keep my nails very classic and simple shades that are versatile and don’t clash with what I wear. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I go for classic nudes or elegant berry/red tones and this is exactly that.

I am so impressed with Diors shade range, I know there are not the most affordable polishes in the market, yet I happily re-purchased a range of colours from Dior as they worked so well and invested in timeless colours that can always be worn. I have not felt the need to wear a top coat with Dior polishes, and that for me speaks for itself. </span></div>

At first I was unsure if wearing lilac on my nails would look odd, however I was wrong… very wrong. I constantly wear this shade - not only in summer. Lilacism is a pretty pastel. the swatches of this shade really does not do it any justice, in person it is amazing. very light, dusty mild milk purple shade with blue undertones.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Again with all Essie polishes shiny finish is a bonus. Lilacism is very feminine indeed, its known that when tanned milky nudes encher your colour, however I found that Lilacism went that extra mile and I feel like it was due to the blue undertones? The colour payoff is stunning and looks so so good on golden skin. </span><br />

They just have this was of making you (and your hands) look very lady like and elegant. </span></div>

The polish itself is very creamy and easy to apply.The shade has just the perfect amount of pink without it being too girly. to me there seems to be a hint of purple in the undertones. And I think this is why it works well when I am tanned. I wouldn't state it was just another one of those boring nudes, its a mysterious shade, a clean cut fresh nude that overall works well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I know there are a million nudes out there; and believe me I have tried A LOT but this milky shade works well when tanned and I can’t quite put my finger on it or tell you why but it does.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So just like you guys, I read reviews before buying most things (not everything of course!) when reading up on this colour It was said by many people that it worked better on people who already have quite pigmented lips, so I thought I’d give it a try as I do have a tint to my lips. As per usual, texture-wise politely pink is not the best on dry or chapped lips. it catches the light. Politely Pink is set in between ‘Please Me’ and ‘Snob’. just enough to add a glow to your face but it’s still quite demure.</span></div>

This lippie is usually my go to with a smokey eye look. Its there but doesn’t take the attention away from your eyes.I must admit it can dry out not long after wear, nothing a lil bit of chapstick can’t sort. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Peach Blossom falls under Mac’s cremesheen collection, I love love love the lasting power of the cremations and tend to gravitate towards them whenever I’m around a Mac counter, they have a great balance of moisture and pigment. Theres not much to say about this one, As you can tell the colour has peach tone, It’s a kind of your lips but - peachier. love wearing this in summer, looks great with a tan! </span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>

The application comes on sheer upon the first swipe, the colour is buildable with a opaque finish. . This is known to be one of Mac’s best selling colour and I’m not surprised at all. it is the perfect everyday your lips but better shade. I love to pair this colour with a light nude/clear gloss..beautiful! Angel is constantly being compared next to Mac’s Creme Cup, I must admit, it’s a close call, Angel shows to have a tiny touch of lilac and slightly brighter. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Slightly matte with a sheen yellow toned pink, I usually get a solid 4-5 hours of wear time with this colour. Its a funny colour that looks different on just about everyone. On me it's a subtle muted, toned-down pink. we all have those days when you don’t want to look dolled up or heavy handed with the make up, please me is great for that perfect girl next door pout. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you’re looking for the perfect beige, then this is the one. Love honey is right up my street, it is a beautiful beige with specs of pink. It is purely an opaque shade. you can’t ask for better colour payoff. I find it tricky to find a beige shade that does not bleed and this one took me by surprise. 10 out of 10 for sure. perfect for them summer nights. glides on buttery, Matte texture with no shimmers (love the idea of that). I found the lasting power was not the best, 3-4 max…on me anyway. I say this is a works best with a full on make up look and really complements dark eye looks the best.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After several attempts..finally managed to get my hands on Mehr. is best described as a dirty, pink with a blue undertone it is definitely a cool-toned colour. This is one of my newest additions to my mac lipstick collection and i have not let me out of my sight. I love an all-rounder lipstick and that’s what Meh is, I can wear it with anything, it is of a matte finish however its application is great, it slides smoothly on the lips even without lip balm on, very lips creamy then settles to a matte finish. </span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’ve found the one.Ted, Ted, Tedddyyyy. why do I love you so. this is probably the most wanted Mac lipstick ever… Thanks to Kylie Jenner! This was the game changer of all lipsticks for me. It is a matte warm, nude with a beautiful brown undertone. My go to colours are always nude shades and this to me is the Cherry on top.. of my very big lipstick cake. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In my opinion velvet teddy is not a particularly cool or warm tone. I personally don't use this colour with a lip liner, Honestly I think it works perfectly on its own. I can’t say enough about this lipstick as it speaks for itself, it is beautiful no wonder I always have to go through a goose chase to get hold of one; the only down point is that it is always sold out!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If I had to choose one colour for life, it would be Rebel. it is a gorgeous gorgeous, tasty dark berry. You can build the darkness of the colour by applying more. It is very cool and blue-based, which I love as it does a great job of making my teeth look whiter than they actually are. As you can tell cool tone lipsticks are the ones for me. </span></div>

Rebel has a satin finish. slightly matte with a slight sheen. It doesn’t have the best lasting power, intact probably one of the worst out of the bunch. it has a tendency to mark or stain anything you touch, which is normal for such a bold colour. so watch out! </span></div>

Riri woo is a retro matte texture and yes it has Rihanna’s name on it but no its not any different to their other matte lipsticks. in general I do not have dry lips, but this does dry out my lips, quite quick after application - wearing a thin layer of Vaseline under this one is a must for me. the colour payoff and pigmentation is a eye-catcher. wow is all I can say on this one. I like to build up the colour as i find one swipe doesn’t do it for me. Loved it so much I had to grab 3 for backups! - Very flattering shade for many different skin tones.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Olivia has chosen three shades, that in my opinion are very safe.. not that I'm complaining. i have burst where i get creative and experiment with different colours on my nails.. However, i always find myself crawling back to my nudes and reds; hence why i love this collection. Olivia has launched a Nude, Red and Coral. I love Ciaté polishes overall as they are known for their colour pay off. Opaque, thick and most importantly for me, very glossy.. (Most of the times i can get away with not using a top coats with Ciaté polishes)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The three shades are Sunday's - Her 'off duty nude', Hutch - Her 'go to red' and Nantucket - Her 'haute vacation coral'. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I Purchased " Sundays " online and fell in love with it so much that I immeditaly jumped back online and purchased the rest of the collection. I love a good nude. Optically this one, i love its gel-like thickness. Nudes are my go to colour; especially when tanned! They give you that girly yet sophisticated look and you can wear it with anything! (I have this weird thing that if my nail colour doesn't match with my clothes.. i will take it off) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I feel that Olivia played it safe, yet sophisticated for her first launch, I was expecting something more. however will just have to wait for the next collections to launch, I'm sure she will shock us and give us that something special,different and unique. </span></div>

I loved loved LOVED it! I didn't stay for long, a short (but sweet) weekend get away with my sister and our friends. Living in London, getting there was nothing but a 45 minute flight! All in all, the flight felt like a breeze, quick flick through a mag and we were there! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">When travelling the most important thing for me is to be in good walking shoes; as there is always so much to explore - and only so much my feet can take! I also love to be hands free - Cross body bags at the ready! Im not saying I always get it right, but I like to try (too many bad experiances X_X) </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">This time round there were zero complaints..woo hoo! And because of this I decided to share a few snaps of some of my favourite looks and moments for you guys.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">At first it took a lot of convincing.. £19 for an eyeshadow?! really Eman..? I lost to the voice in my head and eventually ended up purchasing all eight! X_X (Over the space of a few months) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Trust me once you get yourself to a Charlotte Tilbury counter you ask yourself why you never had before. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I can't express how much I love, love, love, love, LOVE the Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleons! I particularly am obsessing over two colours Golden Quarts and smoky Emerald having hazel eyes I feel that Charlotte really hit the nail on the head as these colours are amazing. every time I have worn them I get numerous questions and compliments.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The main downfall I have experienced is that they need to be sharpened after almost every use; Given the super silky soft texture. Because of this you will lose some product with every sharpen.. but.. we knew this already.. and it doesn’t bother us right??? well… it kind of bothers me.. but then I realise that I don’t finish a lot of make up that often as I move onto the next! I personally feel that they work with or without a primer. Application of the pencils is great, I kinda just scribble everywhere! They can be quite harsh and rough to blend over the lid which is why id promote in using a primer as a base first. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Tried and tested - They are easily removed with an oil cleanser and they don’t stain the eyelid!!! This kind of result always makes me happy!</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I just wish they invested in better caps on the pencils as they are not very secure! Mine tend to end up under my bed or lost somewhere in that never..ever... ending bag of mine! </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">They are by far the best eyeshadow pencils I have every tried. very creamy, soft and pigmented. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Smoky emerald has a blackish emerald base with Gold, Lime AND Pink Shimmers.It is pure lush! Golden Quartz has a more brownish background with goldfish shimmer. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 17px; text-align: justify;">The colour chameleons lasts for around 10-14 hours without budging, which is their main selling point. You really </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">won't</span></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> believe it until you try it! even I was a bit spectacle at first. </span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have been avoiding purchasing another eyeshadow palettes.. I really don’t NEED anymore… but.. who was I kidding? it was obvious I was going to cave in. And Im happy I did. This palette is beautiful. Since I purchased this pallete about a month ago now; I have found it very hard to put it down. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I thought id share my thoughts and some swatches that could be helpful for those who are considering purchasing this palette. This palette is available widley on the internet. I personally purchased mine through Urbanoutfitters.com.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; line-height: 19px;">This palette holds a mix of cool & warm tones. There are a few shimmery colours; also a couple matte ones too. There's a peach, a pink, white, gold, a couple taupe shades, a mix of medium brown shades, plus cranberry, dark brown, and a black. The variety of colours and texture, you really get your moneys worth with this palette as it is versatile and as mentioned before good for travel. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love neutral eyeshadows ( A bit too much!) personally I prefer matte looks for day and shimmer for more evening/going out looks. This palette mostly has shimmer shades, however there are 4 matte shades in this palette too (Sultry, Sexy, Serious, Sleek). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The eyeshadows themselves are super silky soft & must I say quite delicate. They have an amazing colour payoff, I believe the colours are beautiful and really work for all skin tones. The lighter colours are definantly perfect for “on the go” easy day make up looks. the darker shades work great for smokey eye looks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Included in this palette is a small brush, I prefer to use my own brushes; so I am yet to try it out, There is also a long mirror on the palette which I LOVE! great for when your on the move. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My favourite colour of the palette is Sultry.. it really compliments my skin tone and is the PERFECT colour for an all over lid look. </span></div>

Its been a while.. But.. I'm back!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
So its Sunday afternoon.. All I wanted to do is stay in my bed.. Lest be honest .. Who actually enjoys getting up on a Sunday?! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Anyway back to the point..I have been avoiding eye contact with my make up table as the mess was building up each day of the week; so i decided to give it a tidy up! And kinda rekindled with my NYX matte lip creams.. I love love love them. And decided to share that love with you all. They really are one of the best matte lip products i have tried and tested in a while. They glide on the lips so creamy and dry to a Matte formula. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The formula is a light beautiful mousse kind of feel. Very velvety touch. They last around 3 hours on me. They smell like yummy cupcakes.. what else could a girl as possibly ask for?! They have many colours in the range and are very affordable and now easy to buy from their UK website ( nyxcosmetics.co.uk ) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
Below is a picture of my collection so far..</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Copenhagen and Transylvania were the two hardest colours for me to get my hands on. They are dark vampy - Berry colours - which is very in at the moment. I had to keep an eye out for about, id say 2 months or so until they restocked again! </span></div>

Giving up? <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I for one know what it feels like to not believe in yourself and hit the back seat. Do you ever get those days where you take a look and you ask yourself, if they can do it.. why can't I? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
We are coming up to a new year, new begins, fresh starts, new dreams, goals and aspirations. perfect time to start whatever it is you want to do, right? Well why not start now? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
I woke up today before anyone else was up, made myself some yummy hot chocolate, wore some fuzzy socks and snuggled downstairs on the sofa with some blankets and began to think. Am I truly happy? I asked myself. What is it I really want? I questioned. Where do I see myself in 2 years, furthermore .. where do I want to see myself in 2 years? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
I had many thoughts and voices going around in my head. I was so angry at myself, I realised how lazy I had got, or maybe not so much lazy maybe I had lost all faith in myself and had just given up?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Soo.. I jumped up of the sofa and told myself, " I'm going to do it, No giving up" Whatever it is I have to do to fulfil my dreams and be where I want to be I knew that I had to give 100% not saying I never did, but this time, no giving up. I reminded myself that everybody started somewhere, And that somewhere for me was today. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
I felt inspired in so many ways. and here I am, I want you to never give up, push yourself always, sometimes when you think you are ready, you're not, and it takes sometime.. But.. when you know.. you know! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
I also felt inspired in other ways today.. I baked a wholegrain multi-seed loaf. Fresh out the oven, topped with some butter and Marmite.. and Oh wow. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
Here's a picture of my loaf fresh out the oven… may not look the prettiest but tasted the yummiest! Let me know if you would like the recipe to try the bread for yourself <3</span><br />

The part I love the most about January and am guilty of doing the same every year, is splurging out on skin care and beauty products, to help kick off my new year with a new skin routine and change. However some would disagree and say its just another excuse for me to shop….and they are most probably somewhat right! Here are a few products that got me.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ2yOYQd-21PfdoqQUwgi4fbY8uLcsa9OnT7lleEzk2ZAtOSMCVJxO_ngf9k5ZHthPOvAEByq2SHMnMffwvBAW4e6ydwUjc4IYJK7GIBmfYM6ExalrQUBTqLG_eOg5ZHewtxz_G0g44yu3/s1600/CIMG1273.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ2yOYQd-21PfdoqQUwgi4fbY8uLcsa9OnT7lleEzk2ZAtOSMCVJxO_ngf9k5ZHthPOvAEByq2SHMnMffwvBAW4e6ydwUjc4IYJK7GIBmfYM6ExalrQUBTqLG_eOg5ZHewtxz_G0g44yu3/s640/CIMG1273.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
One of my all time loved and trusted brands for skin care is <b>La Roche-Posay. </b>Need I say more?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
Two of their products that stood out for me this month as hard as it is too choose, were; </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b style="background-color: white;">
Gommage Surfin Physiologique</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18px;">This particular fine scrub is from their <b>Physiological</b> product line. Its basically a series of cleansers that are specially formulated to purify and smooth sensitive skin at the same time not causing damage to its physiological balance. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Most </span><span style="line-height: 18px;"><b>La Roche-Posay</b></span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> products are </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">free of soap, paraben, colorants and alcohol. My skin doesn't do too well with products that contain alcohol and thats why I find myself constantly returning to of La Roche-Posay. on top of all their amazingness in a bottle found in their <b>Physiological</b> line, </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">they are </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">pH balanced and contain their very own thermal spring wate</span><span style="line-height: 18px;">r to soothe the skin for optimal tolerance. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">This scrub is very soothing and very fine. It has a cooling effect on the skin, I personally love this in a scrub, it wakes my skin up, especially after a long day! This scrub was not rough on the skin and did not have too many beads as sometimes I can find this overwhelming in a face scrub! Theres a luxurious feel to the product when in the exfoliating process, not much product is needed, remember, less is more. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />

<span style="line-height: 24px;">An exciting element to this product is that its the first moisturiser from <b>La Roche- Posay</b><b> </b>to come in a glass jar. </span><span style="line-height: 24px;"> I myself am an OCD freak and hygiene obsessed, hence why I try to stay far away from products that come in jars and pots; However I just couldn't resist this one. I'm the kind of girl that hates to change her face cream as it always ends up in a disaster. <b>La Roche-Posay</b> is usually kind to my skin, so I knew I had nothing to worry about.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">This cream has a very</span></span><span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> thick constancy. With this one, a little really does go a long way. When applying the cream to your face, it feels very light, cool and fresh. It easily absorbs in to your skin, doesn't leave that sticky feeling and smells great! I like to use this cream at night as a mask, the feeling of the morning after is just priceless. Try it, you <b>won't</b> regret it!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">We all get those lazy nights where we just want to jump in bed and avoid the whole make up removal routine. Me myself I am a sucker for face wipes, I love them! However, I've tried some that just weren't doing the job, some that were too wet for my liking, some that were over priced and how could I forget about the ones that left my face lovely and dry!? A few years ago when I was in Paris stocking up in a pharmacy on my very much loved <b>Bioderma H2O Micelle Solution</b>. I noticed they had a face wipe version that contained the same solution but on easy to use towelettes. Not the cheapest out there; but worth every penny, They leave your face feeling so fresh.</span><span style="line-height: 20px;">One towelette can clean my entire face, for me this is shocking as i was so used to using <b>2-3</b> in one go. Just like the very raved about <b>Bioderma H2O</b></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">,</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> these wipes are magic, since then, I have not used any other wipes for my face but these. <b><3 </b></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Its a typical February afternoon in London, the sky is dark and grey, its raining, theres a gloomy atmosphere. I sit here with a blank mind, A blank image. all I can hear is the sound of the strong winds passing by my window. I have that feeling of not knowing where to go or what to do. The words of someone who was so dear to my heart comes to mind: " Do whatever makes you happy " ... So here we have it. Eman In La La Land! Following my dreams and inspirations is what i'm going to do, I welcome you all to follow me on this journey. I know he would of been proud. <3</span><br />
