<b><u>No 7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream - </u></b>My skin has been awful recently. I have very oily skin and suffer a lot with blackheads around my t-zone area. I get so self conscious sometimes about the way my skin looks and feels. I have been wanting to try some different moisturisers and recently discovered this one from No7. The thing that drew me into buying this one rather than any others out on the market is because this day cream claims it makes oily skin perform like normal skin, which is what I really want! I have been using this a few weeks now and my skin feels great. Yes, its still oily but I do feel like its controlled. My skin feels silky smooth and it hasn't broke me out. I also love the clean and fresh smell it has! <br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder -</u></b> This product is one I have been wanting to try for a while as everyone seems to absolutely love it and I can totally see why. I have been using this setting powder every day since I bought it to set my foundation. I can tell my makeup is staying put a lot longer and my oily skin is tamed and keeps my skin looking matte for a lot longer than usual. I honestly can say this is the best setting powder I have used so far and I will definitely be repurchasing once this ones finished!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow - </u></b>I have wanted a sculpting palette for a while now and recently decided to splurge out on this beauty from Charlotte Tilbury! It is seriously worth every penny, from the packaging to the actual product this is amazing. I love applying the sculpting shade in the hollows of my cheeks, top of my forehead, temples, under my chin and down the sides of my nose. Then the highlight shade on the tops of my cheeks, down the centre of my nose, brow bone and my cupids bow. I love the way these shades both glide onto my skin and blend out flawlessly giving me a natural but sculpted face! </div>
<div>
<br />
<b><u>Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette - </u></b>My HOLY GRAIL palette! I have only had this about a week but I just had to feature it in my favourites as I have been using it non stop and honestly fall in love with it each time I use it. I have never used ABH eyeshadows before so I wasn't sure what to expect when the palette arrived. I think these are the best eyeshadows, they are SUPER pigmented and blend out amazingly. Also, the colours are incredible with lots of different shades you will never run out of looks.<br />
<br />
<b><u>NARS Creamy Concealer -</u></b> Concealers are one of my favourite products at the moment. I can't ever do my face and not use concealer as I think it makes such a huge difference when I apply it. This creamy concealer from Nars really is creamy and blends out well and gives a lovely finish. I haven't noticed it creasing throughout the day or setting into fine lines which is always good! </div>

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. Today's post is one I love doing, it's a haul of all the beauty items I have purchased recently. Being the beauty junkie that I am and also working on the beauty floor of a department store, I am constantly spending my money on makeup (which my bank balance absolutely hates me for!).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
At the weekend I dragged my boyfriend along to Meadowhall shopping centre as I found out that the Boots store in there had just opened a NYX counter. So of course, I had to go! I swear I must of been stood at the counter for a good 45 minutes taking in all the amazing products and choosing wisely what I wanted to take with me. My poor boyfriend was so bored and getting pretty mad with me haha.<br />
<br />
In the end, I didn't end up getting too much. I kinda regret not getting more now, but I am sure I will be there again very soon.<br />
<br />
<b>- NYX HD Concealer (Fair) - </b>I've heard quite a bit about this so I wanted to give it a go. I didn't purchase it really for coverage but as more of a highlighting product. I have used this since getting it and I am really pleased so far, the colour is lovely and it blends out really easily!<br />
<br />
<b>- NYX Retractable Lip Liner (Soft Pink) & Soft Matte Lip Cream (Milan) - </b>I bought these two as a combo to wear together. I own a couple of the soft matte lip creams already so I know how much I love them! I loved this colour for summer so I had to get it.<br />
<br />
<b>- NYX Micro Brow Pencil (Taupe) - </b>I got this as I have wanted the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz for a while, but when I saw this one for less money I decided to give it a go. So far, I can't say I am a fan of this. I don't find it gives much pay off for some reason but maybe I just need to try it a few more times. I'll keep you updated on what I think.<br />
<br />
<b>- Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder - </b>This is a product I have wanted to try for absolutely ages and I finally purchased it for myself! I have never tried anything from Laura Mercier before so this was an exciting buy for me! So far I am in love with it, it sets my foundation and leaves my makeup looking flawless all day!<br />
<br />
<b>- Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bon Palette - </b> This is another product I have been eyeing up for a while! The colours in this palette are absolutely beautiful. The packaging is the cutest ever and it actually smells of chocolate which is amazing. I haven't tried this palette yet as I literally just got it today but I am so excited to create some looks with this!<br />
<br />
<b>- Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish - </b>Lastly. this is a product I have used already and absolutely love. I have repurchased this cleanser so many times now as I love it. It's the best one I have used for my skin type and it leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. This is such an affordable cleanser and I would reccomend anyone to try it.<br />
<br />

Hi everyone! Apologies for the lack of posts recently, I have just started a new full time job at Nails Inc and have been super busy settling in and had no time to sit down and blog. :( From now on, I am going to try post at least one day a week, so I'll be dedicating my day off to my blog!<br />

Today's post is a review on some brushes I have been absolutely loving recently. I first saw these <b>Tangle Angels </b>on Instagram, and fell in love with the way they looked. These brushes were created by celebrity hair stylist <i>Richard Ward </i>and they are literally the cutest things ever. I absolutely love the look of them on my dressing table. Not only do they look beautiful but they also do a fabulous job at detangling hair in a gentle, easy and pain free way due to it's ergonomic shape and scientifically developed bristles. <br />
<br />
I tend to get very tangled hair and these brushes have worked absolute wonders for me, they gently comb through my hair with no pain and don't pull on my hair what so ever! These practical brushes also have a handle which I think is great but they also give you the ability to hold the brush around the angel wings to give you more control if you need some serious de-tangling!<br />
<br />
They have a variety of different brushes to choose from so you can choose the best Tangle angel which you think would suit you best. For example, they have the <b>Tangle Angel Xtreme </b>which is made specially for mega tangles and people with hair extensions!<br />

Are you sick of using the back of your hand to apply makeup? I know I am! When I saw this new product from <i>Glamour Living </i>I just knew it was going to end up being a staple for me. Every morning when I leave for work I always end up having makeup marks from my foundation on my hand and it just doesn't look attractive at all. The <i style="font-weight: bold;">Acrypal </i>is a great alternative to stop all of this.<br />
<br />

First of all, I want to talk a little about the brand. <b>Glamour Living </b>is the one and only company in the UK that produce these unique products and hand crafts them all to an amazing quality. They create gorgeous acrylic products, from Makeup cubes to staplers. Each product is made to a high standard and engraved with the product name to give recognition of the brand and its quality. Celebrities such as Kerry Katona, Amy Childs, Coleen Rooney & Lilly Allen are also big fans of <i>Glamour Living </i>and I can totally see why.<br />

The <u style="font-weight: bold;">Acrypal</u> is a great, hygienic and easy solution for mixing and applying makeup products. I love how this gives me a smooth and clean surface to be able to mix my foundation onto instead of using my hands. The good thing about this palette is that it gives you the option to be able to mix foundations together to create the perfect tone for your skin and also due to the acrylic you can hold the palette up to your cheek to see if the foundation matches correctly.The palette is lightweight so would be perfect for travelling and also for makeup artists who are constantly on the go.<br />
<br />
I have been using this every day since I got it and honestly it is a life saver. Within my job I do a lot of bridal and special occasion makeup for clients which sometimes requires me to travel, so this will definitely come in handy for them occasions!<br />
<br />
-Lightweight and perfect for travelling<br />
-Wipes clean after use<br />
-Creates a smooth surface to apply makeup products<br />
-Perfect for mixing colours together<br />
-Very high quality<br />
-Works for people left and right handed<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I never really try out new foundations, I usually just stick to one or two and just tend to re-purchase the ones I know I like.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">About a year ago, the only foundations I would purchase were ones with full coverage, for example the <i>Estee Lauder Double wear</i> was a firm favourite of mine for quite some time. But... Just recently I have decided I would like to try more lighter foundations as I don't have very problematic skin which needs a thick coverage and when I do have problem areas I can always use my Mac Pro-long-wear concealer to help me out. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This foundation caught my eye when I was wandering around <i>Superdrug </i>at the weekend, the packaging is sleek, lightweight and travel friendly. The product is easy to distribute due to the squeezable plastic it is made from. I tried this foundation out yesterday for the first time and I was so pleasantly surprised at how much I actually liked this product, I thought it would be very light and hardly any coverage but I was wrong. This foundation has a light to medium coverage but is buildable, I had a bit of redness on my skin yesterday so I applied a little more over these areas and it covered flawlessly. </span></div>

Hi everyone! So makeup collections are one of my favourite posts, I love to see what makeup other people have and how they store it. I asked on twitter earlier if you would like to see my makeup collection and a few of you said yes so here I am doing it for you!<br />

I keep my make-up stored in three acrylic drawer sets from MUJI. I absolutely love the way these look on my dressing table and the good thing about MUJI drawers is that they stack on top of eachother so well. The lipstick holders on top of my drawer sets are just from Amazon and they were super cheap, I think I paid around £3! The MUJI drawers retail for around £11 which are so worth it if your looking for a good quality way to store all of your makeup. So, on top of my drawers I have all my lipsticks and a few lipglosses too. Most of my lipsticks are by MAC because I love the quality of them. I have a few others from Rimmel London, YSL, Model Co, Gerard Cosmetics, Milani, Kiko and Sephora.<br />

<br />
The first drawer is my most prettiest products I think. I have most of my blushers and highlighters in here and my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. The top row is my highlighters from Gerard Cosmetics, The Balm and Urban Decay. My favourites are definitely Mary-Lou Manizer by the Balm and the Gerard Cosmetics Star Powder in "Marilyn", both are absolutely gorgeous champagne colours and look amazing for every day. The Urban Decay Illuminated is a gorgeous highlight but I wear this only for nights out due to how glittery it is. On the second row is my blushers and my Too faced bronzer, I put this bronzer in this drawer just because I thought it looked pretty. I have two blushers from The Balm, FratBoy and Hot Mama! Then my absolute favourite more high end blush which is from Too Faced, all three blushers are absolutely gorgeous!<br />

<br />
The next drawer is filled with lip products! Liquid lipsticks, Lipglosses, Balms, Tints and lip pencils. I have brands such as Lorac, The Balm, NYX, LA Girl, Benefit, MAC, Too Faced etc. I'm obsessed with lip products so this drawer is heaven to me!<br />
<br />

<br />
This is my face drawer, it has all my concealers, primers and foundations. I am obsessed with the LA Girl Pro HD concealers at the moment, they are honestly amazing and so cheap. I get mine from Amazon for around £3, honestly such a bargain for how good they are and fab for contouring! I have other concealers from Kiko and MAC. I don't have many primers which is annoying, I definitely need to get my hands on some more. I love the Maybelline Baby skin and the Gerard cosmetics BB plus illuminator! I only keep two foundations in here which are the Loreal Lumi Majique and Este Lauder Double wear, both my holy grail foundations.<br />

<br />
This is a random drawer of different face powders. I have two blushers, my ultimate favourite drug store blush from Milani in Luminoso and a NYX blusher which I actually won in another bloggers giveaway! I have three bronzers, Hoola by benefit, Solar Powder by Soap & Glory and MAC give me sun mineralize skin finish. I have two setting powders stacked on top of eachother, these are the MAC prep and prime translucent powder and the NYX Banana powder which is great for setting the under eyes.<br />

These two smaller drawers have all my eye products in. I have a bunch of different eyeliners, most from Rimmel London, some others are from Urban Decay, Models Own and Eyeko! I have some mascaras from MAC, models own, Maybelline and my absolute favourite which is Roller Lash from Benefit it makes my lashes look incredible! The other small drawer has some single eyeshadows from Kiko, Sigma and then some loose eyeshadows from Peaches & Cream and Barry M! My all time favourite brow products are also kept in here which are the Dip brow Pomades from Anastasia Beverly Hills and the Barry M Brow kit!<br />

I love this last drawer as it holds all my favourite palettes and some other little things I use on a daily basis! I have 5 palettes in this drawer, Nude 'Tude and Nude Dude both by the balm, the Zoeva Cococa Blend palette, Urban decay Naked 3 and my well loved Naked 1. On the side I keep smaller things such as my Too faced shadow insurance, Benefit speed brow, my whitening lightening pen, tweezers etc. I also keep other random things in this drawer such as a Kiko Brush cleanser (Great for spot cleaning) and a blush stick by Makeup Revolution.<br />

This is such an exciting post because Body Fantasies are launching here in the UK next month! Body Fantasies are America's no.1 perfume body spray developed by the worlds leading perfumers. The great thing about these body sprays are not only that they smell absolutely amazing but they also actually last on the skin due to the fragrance oils which they use. Therefore you are guaranteed a longer lasting fragrance experience.<br />
<br />
Four fragrances are launching this February at <a href="http://superdrug.com/">Superdrug </a>(In-store & Online). These fragrances include <b>Pink Vanilla Fantasy Kiss, Twilight Mist, Pink Grapefruit Fantasy </b>and <b>Japanese Cherry Blossom. </b>Each fragrance is presented in a 94ml bottle which claims to have over 500 sprays!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have got my hands on two of the four fragrances (<b>Pink Vanilla & Twilight Mist), </b>I have been using them every day since I got them and I love them. They are great for every day leaving me with a gorgeous scent but not too overpowering. I've been popping one of them in my handbag in the morning and using it throughout the day to freshen up. I love both fragrances but I have to say Pink Vanilla is definitely my favourite.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Pink Vanilla </b>- "</i>Pucker up for Pink Vanilla Kiss Fantasy! Delectable juicy peach and berries open the fragrance, while soft florals round out the middle. The base, comprised of woods and musk, is beautifully crafted to create a feminine fruity, fragrance."<br />
<br />
<i><b>Twilight Mist</b> - "</i>Mesmerizing notes of pure mandarin, magnolia, and sandalwood blend together to create the hypnotic, dreamy fragrance of Twilight Mist."<br />
<br />
<i><b>Japanese Cherry Blossom</b> - <b>"</b></i>Swirling petals from the Japanese Cherry Blossom tree inspire a fragrance full of romance, desire, and charm. A long-lasting blend of warm oriental notes transform into an incredibly feminine aroma of fresh cherry blossom, succulent rose, and seductive amber."<br />
<br />
<i><b>Pink Grapefruit Fantasy </b>- "</i>Available exclusively at Superdrug, Pink Grapefruit Fantasy is a fruity blend of refreshing, pink grapefruit and jewelled pomegranate that moves through to heart notes of soft florals, before revealing a warm base of white musk and vanilla."<br />
<br />
I am so excited to get my hands on the other 2 fragrances as soon as they launch early Feb! At an affordable price of £3.99 I think Body Fantasies are going to be a must-have for everyone!<br />
<br />
Which do you think will be your Body Fantasies favourite?<br />

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I'm finally back and it feels great. My new years resolution is to keep motivated with my blog and post as regularly as I possibly can. So, lets see if I stick at it! Today, I decided to share with you all the make-up I have either purchased myself or was bought over Christmas and my birthday. Make-up is what I love, so family and friends always take this into consideration when buying me gifts and I couldn't thank them enough.<br />
<br />

I was so overwhelmed this year with the palettes I got from either myself or family/friends! A couple of weeks before Christmas I actually treated myself to the <b>Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette </b>as I was eyeing it up for ages! This is one of my favourite palettes ever, the colours are absolutely stunning and super pigmented. I have used this palette every day since I bought it.<br />
My birthday was on the 29th December and my Auntie and friend surprised me with 3 palettes, I got the <b>Urban Decay Naked 3, The Balm Nude Tude & Nude Dude. </b>I have wanted these palettes for ages now and was completely overwhelmed when I got them given as a gift.<br />

<br />
<b>Too Faced Love Flush Blush (Love Hangover) - </b>I asked my boyfriend to get this for me as I have been getting into blush recently, when I saw these from Too Faced I knew I had to have it! This is such a gorgeous blush and a little goes a long way! The packaging is so cute and I die every time I look at it!<br />
<br />
<b>NYX HD Finishing Powder (Banana) - </b>This literally came in the post today. I have wanted to try this powder out as soon as I heard about it. I have wanted the Ben Nye Banana powder but its quite pricey so I haven't ever purchased it for myself. When I heard NYX had one for £8 I just had to get it. I can't wait to try it out.<br />
<br />
<b>Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer (Medium-Deep) - </b>I needed a new bronzer so decided to give this one a go, I got this for my birthday and have used it ever since. It actually smells like cocoa and the packaging is gorgeous. Too faced never fail on their packaging!<br />

<br />
<b>Too Faced Shadow Insurance - </b>I ran out of my urban decay primer potion so decided to purchase a new one to try out. I have used this a few times but can't say I'm completely in love with this. I find it very very watery which I am not too keen on. I don't know if I would re-purchase this again.<br />
<br />
<b>Bobbi Brown Long-wear Gel Eyeliner ( 1 Black Ink) - </b>I got this as a gift for Christmas as I put it on my wish list. I've heard a lot of good things about this liner so can't wait to give it a go. Usually, all the liners I have used in the past tend not to last so I'm hoping this one will be different!<br />
<br />
<b>Too Faced Melted Lipstick (Berry) - </b>This colour is AMAZING. I haven't tried it out yet, but I have swatched it a couple of times and can already tell I will love it.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>LA Girl Pro Concealer (Natural) - </b>Another re-purchase. I have been using this concealer for a while now and honestly cannot praise it enough. I personally use it to highlight but the coverage is so amazing it would also be great for covering problem areas. I purchase mine off Amazon and they are so cheap!<br />
<br />
<b>Real Techniques Complexion Sponge - </b>I would like to get the real beauty blender but I just can't justify spending £16 on a sponge. I have been using the beauty sponge from Primark for a while now and really like it. But I was intrigued in trying this one from Real Techniques due to it having a flat edge.<br />
<br />
<b>L'oreal Lumi Majique Foundation (W3 Gold Linen) - </b>I bought this for myself as I ran out. This foundation is my holy grail. I have purchased it 3 times now as I love it. Its lightweight and gives a medium-full coverage without ever looking cakey.<br />

Ever wanted nail polish that doesn't chip or smudge? Want shellac but don't have the time to go to a salon? Well... I have the perfect solution for you. The <b>GelTouch Top Coat </b>transforms any normal polish into gel! This amazing starter kit comes with a Gel top coat and a small, lightweight and handy UV lamp which is great for at home and if you are travelling.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This easy to use kit is amazing for people who don't have the time/money to be getting a gel treatment and want something quick and easy to ensure your nail polish will last longer than just few days. As I work in a salon, I use my hands a lot and normal polish would not last me 2 minutes so this product is an absolute life saver in my eyes! I have been using this for a few weeks now and still absolutely love it, it makes my nail polish last up to 10 days, it doesn't chip, it doesn't damage my nails, and creates dazzlingly shiny nails! </div>

<b><u>HOW TO USE: </u> </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Step 1: </i></b>Make sure your nails are completely clean! This starter kit comes with 5 cleansing wipes, so after filing your nails into your desired shape, give each nail a swipe over with the wipe. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><b>Step 2:</b></i> After choosing your desired nail polish, apply to your nails and allow to thoroughly dry. I usually leave mine for about 20 minutes! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><b>Step 3: </b></i>Now it's time for magic! Apply the clear GelTouch top coat and cure under the LED lamp for 60 seconds. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><b>Step 4:</b></i> After curing the nails, wipe over the nails again with the cleansing wipe to remove any stickiness and there you have it... Gorgeous gel nails! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's so easy to apply and to even take off... you can either peel it or soak it. Either way it does absolutely no damage to the natural nails! </div>
<div>

I don't know if it's just me, but I absolutely love having a nosey in someone else's make-up bag. As these are one of my favourite blog posts to read, I decided I would do my own! </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The makeup bag I am using at the moment is from a brand called <i>Cheeky </i>which is available on there website and also ASOS etc. I love the little quote on the front which says "Let's kiss & Make up" and the size of the bag is perfect for me. It fits all my makeup perfectly and isn't too big that I can't shove it in my handbag. (<a href="http://www.asos.com/Cheeky/Cheeky-Lets-Kiss-Make-up-Cosmetic-Bag/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4993674">Makeup bag is available here</a>)</div>

Hello, I'm sorry this post is a little late but I suppose its better late than never!<br />
<br />
Firstly, the <b>Liz Earle Cleanse And Polish </b>has been one product I have wanted to try for a fair few months but only decided to purchase it at the start of September after giving in to temptation. I actually asked on twitter what cleanser people would recommend and this was the one that people was recommending (I can totally see why!). I love this product, I have been using it none stop since I bought it and over about 4 weeks I can actually see a difference in my skin, it looks a lot clearer and feels softer too! I use it morning and night with a hot cloth and love the way it makes my skin feel after.<br />
<br />
Next up I have been loving the <b>Benefit Roller Lash</b>, other beauty bloggers have been talking about this mascara for a while now so after hearing so many good things about it I decided to purchase it on the plane on the way back from holiday in August. I'm so glad I did, and this is one of my favourite mascaras to use now. It curls my lashes, which is great as I usually have to curl my lashes with eyelash curlers before applying mascara but with this one I don't! It also lengthens and thickens them without looking clumpy. Since wearing this mascara at work, I have actually had compliments from multiple clients asking if I had eyelash extensions and how good my lashes looked.<br />
<br />
Usually I don't tend to try out new foundations, I tend to stick with the one that I know works for me and that's it. But recently, I've been intrigued in trying different ones. The one I have been loving recently is the <b>Loreal Lumi Majique Foundation, </b>it applies nicely onto my skin and gives a smooth and flawless finish. It's also buildable so I can apply more where I need it without it looking thick and cakey. This foundation also lasts all day without getting patchy.<br />
<br />

Staying organised with agendas has always been something that I've wanted to do but I never seemed to find the right agenda for me. I like pretty ones with cute details, not boring ones as they don't excite me enough to plan my life in it. I recently discovered the brand <b>Ban.do</b> which create gorgeously designed planners which every girl will love. I instantly fell in love with this <i>Florabunda 17 month Agenda (August 2015 - December 2016) </i>and knew I had to get it! It was just what I was looking for, pretty on the outside and cute details throughout. Details such as each month has a fun, quirky picture with inspirational quotes next to it... for example the month November has "If you don't try, You'll never know" written multiple times in different fonts and colours. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
They also included a page filled with different stickers to allow you to customize your week, I love this idea and it instantly brought the inner child out of me when I saw these as I got extremely excited (Sad, I know!). I always remember when I was a kid, I loved stickers and always was customizing different note books with princess stickers from the Disney store. Now buying stickers has become a thing again as I love adding them to make my week look a little more exciting. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other pages include week pages, a notes section at the beginning of each month, pages for important dates to remember and cute pockets to hold scraps of paper. </div>

I am now being much more organised and it's helping me a lot with my blog and deciding when to post. This agenda now goes everywhere with me, the size means I can fit it in my handbag and have it at hand whenever I need it. </div>

<div>
Have you tried the Ban.do Agendas? And how do you stay organised? </div>

The <b>Nicka K - Ultra Slick Lipsticks </b>caught my eye whilst browsing the <i>Beauty Crowd Pro </i>website the other week! I was kindly chosen by beauty crowd to receive two of the lipsticks of my choice to review them for my blog. I chose the colours <i>"Hot Mama" & "Naughty". </i><br />
<div>
<i><br /></i>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Both lipsticks have a smooth and creamy consistency making them easy to glide onto the lips. Due to them being so creamy, they feel extremely moisturising on the lips and not drying what so ever! Another reason why I really like these lipsticks is because of how highly pigmented they are. You can wear these sheer or build them up to be bold. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The packaging is sleek and the lid fastens on securely making sure it doesn't come off. The names of the lipsticks aren't written on the packaging which is a bit of a pain but they have the colour shown on the top of the lipstick which makes finding the colours easy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These lipsticks are available to purchase on <a href="http://beautycrowd.com/">beautycrowd.com</a> for an affordable price of £3.95! Amazing price for an amazing product and I personally think they are a must for everyone's makeup collection. </div>

Hi girls! Being the self tan junkie that I am and always wanting to try out new ones, today I want to talk about one I was recently sent out to review.<b> </b>Before discovering <i>Cocoa Brown Tan </i>a few month back the St Moriz self tan had always been my go-to and I never bothered trying anything else, but then after falling in love with Cocoa Brown, I thought I wouldn't try another self tanner for a while. I was recently contacted by a PR company called <b>Sparkle PR</b>, they kindly got in touch after seeing my blog and asked if I would like to review a self tanner called <b>TanTruth - The Mousse</b><b> </b>so obviously I said yes!<br />
<b><br /></b>

I had heard of this brand previously but I didn't realise they had brought out a self tanner for people to do at home so I was extremely excited to get my hands on this product! As soon as I got it I immediately tried it and have been using it since so I can give you a honest review about how I got on with it.<br />
<br />
In the shower, I exfoliated my skin using the TanTruth body scrub, this was such a fab exfoliator! It left my skin feeling soft, refreshed and smelling gorgeous! Remember, exfoliating is a vital step before applying fake tan so try and invest in a good body scrub, as well as the TanTruth scrub I also really enjoy using the Soap and Glory ones!<br />
<br />
The Tan Truth self tan is a lightweight mousse (my favourite). It glided onto my skin nicely and blended out perfectly leaving no patches. I like how this tan has a guide colour as it makes applying super-easy as you can see where you have applied and where you may of missed. As soon as I applied this onto my skin, I noticed the smell straight away. It doesn't have any self tan smell what so ever, infact its quite a pretty floral scent and seems to stay on the skin for a while which is quite nice. After applying the tan all over my body, I was happy to see that it dried pretty quickly and didn't leave me feeling sticky. This tan is enriched with a combination of <i>Vegetan Premium </i>to help maximise the sun-kissed look and <i>Shea Butter</i> and <i>Avocado</i> to leave the skin feeling moisturised. I put the tan on at night and left it until morning to wash off.<br />
<br />
After washing the tan off, I was left with a gorgeous golden healthy looking glow. It left me with the sort of colour I would get from going away on holiday. It didn't look streaky nor orange which sold it for me straight away. The week after receiving the self tan I was actually going away for the weekend to Chester Races, so I decided to put this tan on for that event (As seen in the picture below). The photo doesn't really do the tan justice, but I loved the colour it gave me and I even had people asking me "Have you been away?". I have been using this tan since I got it and will definitely be purchasing it myself when I run out.<br />

The tan lasted on my skin for around 8 days until it started to fade. After fading, I again tried out the Tan Truth body scrub which removed the rest of the tan and left me with clean exfoliated skin all ready to apply tan again.<br />
<br />
<b>TanTruth - The mousse is available at Salon Services for £12.99 (<a href="http://www.salon-services.com/tantruth-the-mousse/">Link here</a>) </b><br />
<br />
I just want to say a thank you to the girls at Sparkle PR for getting in touch and being kind enough to send me these fab products!<br />

Hello again, I hope you are all well? Until a few days ago, I had never tried any of Soap & Glory's makeup range. Every time I walked into Boots I had a nosey at the makeup and was always tempted to buy something but for some reason never did. On Monday, I gave in to temptation and decided to purchase two products, the <b>Smoulder Kohl Liner </b>and the <b>Solar Powder</b>! I have been using both these products since I got them, so I am going to let you know my opinions on them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHtEMKwpaEik-TC9xomTTxnhSPy3yJKVo5mQtmZ20o8vjSVQqcS6JPNGAJpj4GqhlomXwFja35lMXtXFKsHLpTCGiRYqmVHoQOSAeToN4gCg6KBu9Fnn1GxBECdi4zji2sQua26zGllOw/s1600/1+2+3+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHtEMKwpaEik-TC9xomTTxnhSPy3yJKVo5mQtmZ20o8vjSVQqcS6JPNGAJpj4GqhlomXwFja35lMXtXFKsHLpTCGiRYqmVHoQOSAeToN4gCg6KBu9Fnn1GxBECdi4zji2sQua26zGllOw/s1600/1+2+3+4.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Out of both the products my favourite purchase is without a doubt the <i>Smoulder Kohl Liner, </i>hands down the BEST Kohl liner I have ever tried. It is honestly amazing, this super black liner glides on smoothly making application easy. I applied this onto my waterline and was so surprised at the lasting power, it lasted all day! The only thing I noticed with this liner is that it did tend to smudge a little so I had to keep checking my eyes and wiping it away. Apart from that, I love it! Such a great Kohl liner for £5.00!<br />

<br />
The <b>Solar Powder </b>is a gorgeous bronzer, due to its slight shimmer it gives a lovely looking glow to the skin. It is two-toned, comes with a dark and light shade so it does give the option of mixing the two together or using just one of the shades. This bronzer is quite light so it would be perfect for paler skin tones. I find I have to build this up quite a lot as I do tan so it can look a little light for me. The packaging is lovely, but to be honest everything from Soap and Glory has gorgeous packaging. It comes with a nice sized mirror too which is really handy!<br />
<br />

First of all, I want to apologise for not posting in a while. If you follow me on Twitter you'll know that I've been so busy and I just haven't been able to find the time to blog. :( It feels so good to be back writing again though and I have a lot of exciting blog posts planned!<br />
<br />
A few week ago, I was sent a lovely package from Beauty Crowd. I have previously spoke about this website as it's fab! They stock some really amazing brands which are hard to get hold of here in England. They contacted me and asked me if I would like to review some products from a new brand which is now available on the website.<br />
<br />
I was so excited when I received the parcel and was so pleased with the products they chose for me. The brand is<b> Bell Cosmetics,</b> a polish company who has had 30 years experience in the beauty industry. The products I was sent were from their Hypoallergenic range, these are high quality products but at the same time extremely affordable. I have been trying out all these products for a few week now so I know exactly how I feel about them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihjkPw5y57VVY0MfTIrzOTAOdMQUwrTJ9yleaVNzq5Ps4HYrBUf3-HP2woagCHZqNGMB1I5Nktdmii6_3xbbBOCz4jp7NIs7DM0LW733SndbYqaDu_kWjjr5UkEueJIH9chrj2Zv7p80k/s1600/1+2+3+4+5+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihjkPw5y57VVY0MfTIrzOTAOdMQUwrTJ9yleaVNzq5Ps4HYrBUf3-HP2woagCHZqNGMB1I5Nktdmii6_3xbbBOCz4jp7NIs7DM0LW733SndbYqaDu_kWjjr5UkEueJIH9chrj2Zv7p80k/s1600/1+2+3+4+5+6.jpg" /></a></div>
<b>Hypoallergenic Mat and Smooth Makeup Base - </b> This light pink makeup base is gorgeous! It applied onto my skin really nicely and left me with smooth and brightened skin. I found that this base also minimized the pores on my skin which was an added bonus. I have seemed to grab for this every day since I got it, it makes my foundation glide onto my skin flawlessly and made my makeup last all day without going patchy! This is definitely worth £7.95.<br />
<br />
<b>Bell Cosmetics Matte & Soft Foundation - </b>This foundation retails for £7.95 and comes in 3 different shades. The shade I was sent was "Light Beige" which is a little light for me as I fake tan all the time. But I did try the foundation as I wanted to review it for you. It's a light to medium coverage but can be built up, I had to build it up quite a bit to cover my problem areas but once applied it looked flawless. This is a very lightweight foundation and would be great for the summer time when you don't want to wear too much makeup.<br />
<br />
After applying the foundation I used the <b>Liquid Eye Concealer </b>in the shade <b>01</b>. This concealer comes in 2 shades, I'm so happy with the shade I got as it is the lightest and I love light concealers for under my eye and to highlight with! This is so creamy and blends out like a dream! The concealer retails for £3.95 which is an incredible price for such a great product.<br />
<br />

<b>Bell Cosmetics matte powder - </b>This is a pigmented setting powder available in 4 different shades and costs just £4.95 . This left my skin with a matte finish and worked really well with the foundation, the combination of both left a flawless face. I have combination skin and therefore I tend to have a really oily t-zone, this powder seemed to control my oiliness but did have to be re-applied a second time throughout the day. The only negative thing I have to say about this powder is that there isn't a translucent shade, I feel like this powder would be great in translucent and if it became available I would definitely purchase it!<br />
<br />

<b>Bell Cosmetics Thickening Mascara - </b>Mascaras are one of my favourite beauty products so I was unbelievably happy when beauty crowd sent me one. I have been using this mascara none stop, it thickens and slightly lengthens my lashes without making them look clumpy. I applied two coats of this after curling my lashes and it didn't seem to flake at all throughout the day. Honestly an amazing mascara for £4.95!<br />
<br />
The whole of the Bell Cosmetics Hypoallergenic range is available exclusively at <b><a href="http://www.beautycrowd.com/">www.beautycrowd.com</a></b>!<br />
<br />
Lastly, a big thank you to Harriet at Beauty Crowd for letting me try these out before they became available on the website, I really appreciate it!<br />

Hello I hope you're all well. Today I'm reviewing 5 Sigma brushes which I was kindly sent. I was recently approved to become an affiliate for Sigma, this was such a huge achievement for me and my blog so when I got the email to say I had been accepted I was over the moon! As a way of welcoming me to the affiliate programme they kindly sent me a gift which was filled with goodies! I just want to let you all know that just because I am sent products, this does not change my opinion on what I think of the products. I will always be 100% honest with my readers and never say I like something just for the sake of it.<br />
<br />
I have used all these brushes since I have got them and I honestly can say I love them. The quality is out of this world. I believe that good quality brushes are so important and have a huge impact on how your makeup will look. I always tell my clients that if you do your makeup with the cheapest most low quality brushes and use high-end makeup, chances are it will not look good but if you use high quality brushes with cheaper drug-store makeup it will look beautiful. Having a good set of brushes will improve your makeup skills massively so I recommend anyone who is serious about makeup to invest in some good quality brushes.<br />

It's a multifunctional brush made from Sigmax synthetic fibres and is unbelievably soft. This brush is shaped with a ridge, double wedge flat surface and a point. The ridge is the perfect angle for applying liquid, cream or powder product to reach every curve, crease or angle of the face and the point is perfect for precise application around the nose or eyes. This is now the brush I grab for when applying foundation, I used to use the Real Techniques buffing brush but I find that the Sigma 3DHD brush gives me much more of a flawless finish and doesn't leave me with any streaks.<br />

It's such a useful brush, I love to use it to apply concealer under my eyes or applying a highlighter, the ridge is also great to give a crisp line when tidying up around my eyes or when applying concealer to tidy up around my eyebrows or lips when using a bold colour.<br />

I am so happy with all the brushes I was sent, each and every one of them are gorgeous! As soon as you hold them in your hand you instantly know how good quality they are. I want to say a huge thank you to Sofia at Sigma for sending me these, I really appreciate it!

Hi lovlies! I hope you are all well? So it's June, I can't believe it! Time just seems to fly by these days, it's scary! Just going to jump straight into it and tell you what I have been loving in the month of May...<br />
<br />
I have been really getting into trying primers recently as last year I never really bothered with them. I picked up the <b>Maybelline Baby Skin Instant pore eraser </b>not too long ago and I really like it! I love the soft, matte and velvet-like finish that it leaves on my skin. It creates a great base for my foundation to apply onto and blurs out any imperfections that I have. This is most definitely a staple in my makeup routine now!<br />
<br />
I'm a huge fan of contouring and highlighting and cream products are my favourite to use. I have been using the <b>Mac Prep + Prime Highlighter - Lightboost </b>for about 2 years now and love it. Every time I use it I fall more and more in love. This yellow based highlighter blends out perfectly and is great for brightening my under eye and to highlight other areas of my face.<br />
<br />
My MAC fluidline recently dried up and I was so upset, I went on the look out for a cheap alternative until I could re-purchase it. I found the <b>Seventeen - Smoulder Gel Eyeliner </b>in boots for £3.99 so thought I would give it a try. I don't tend to buy cheaper gel liners as I find they just don't last at all but I am so happy I picked this one up. It's surprisingly really nice, it glides on smoothly and doesn't smudge. I like to either do a bold wing liner or smudge it out when doing a smoky eye and it works well for either.<br />
<br />
I have quite a big selection of perfumes, as I just love investing in a nice luxury one now and again. I tend to pick one up at duty free every time I go on holiday just as a little treat to myself! The one that I seem to re-purchase over and over is <b>Viktor & Rolf - Flowerbomb </b>if any of you have smelt this you will understand me when I say this is absolutely GORGEOUS! My boyfriend got me this perfume for the first time about 3 years ago and since then it has been my favourite. I am so bad at describing smells so I am not even going to try to but if you are ever shopping just go have a smell of it and you'll understand why this is my fave!<br />
<br />
That's all my favourites for this month. I love to read what other people have been loving so make sure you comment below and let me know what your favourites are!<br />

I have heard a lot about the <i>Cocoa Brown tan</i> and after seeing it all over Instagram, I finally decided to pick it up when I saw it in Primark for <b>£6.99!</b> For years I have used the <i>St Moriz</i> instant tan which retails for around £3.00 and is amazing! But like everyone, I like to try out new products and to be honest I think Cocoa Brown has taken it's place.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been using this now for a few week and absolutely love it. Cocoa Brown is a light tinted mousse which applies like a dream. It applied onto my skin smoothly and spread evenly on my skin leaving me with no patches. I really like how this mousse is tinted so it allows you to see clearly where you have applied to ensure you have an even tan! Unlike other self tanners, this leaves a floral scent on my skin which is so much better than that typical fake tan smell, it does tend to ware off after a while and once washed off the smell is completely gone. Also, I have very sensitive skin and can sometimes find that self tanners make me break out around my shoulder and chest area, this one hasn't luckily! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Eventhough this develops in 1 hour, I personally like leaving this tan on over night for a more darker bronzed look, but depending on how tanned you want to be you can leave it on as long as you prefer. This left me with a natural and subtle looking tan instead of looking orange, which I really liked and it lasted around 6 days before starting to fade. Now lets speak about the packaging, gorgeous right? Bright pink and super girly! I love it and lets be honest which girl wouldn't like this sat on there dressing table?! As you know, I am a sucker for cute packaging so when I saw this pretty little bottle for the first time, I just had to have it! </div>
<div>
Overall, this is a gorgeous tan, super affordable and leaves me with a stunning healthy looking glow. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<i>TIP: When tanning always remember to exfoliate and moisturise before applying fake tan!!</i></div>

Hi beauty's, I've been so busy this week hence the lack of posts, so I am sorry about that! I'm back today to show you all what I store in my Muji drawers. I love seeing these sort of posts or watching makeup storage videos on YouTube, probably because I'm so nosey haha! I've had this Muji 3 drawer set for ages now, I love them as I can see clearly what is in them and I also just love how they look. These drawers hold some of my makeup and the rest is in my MALM 6 drawer set from Ikea.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the top of my Muji drawers, I have an acrylic lipstick holder from Home Sense which holds 12 lipsticks, this contains mostly mac, but I do have some from YSL, Gerard Cosmetics and Milani. I also have a little clear cup which holds random things such as eye primers, eye liners, lip liners and eyelash curlers. My Mac fix + also stays on here as it's just easiest to grab every day to set my face! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first two drawers are quite small, but the first one holds some random lip products. Lipsticks, lipglosses, lip balms, lip tints are all stored in here. I love them to be all together so I can just go ahead and have a route through in a morning to see what I want to wear. I tend to reach for the Benefit balms quite a lot for when I don't want anything too fancy as these just moisturise your lips and give you the slightest bit of colour! I also love the Essence lipglosses which I have done a review on (<a href="http://beautywithalisha.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/review-essence-xxxl-nude-lipgloss.html">here</a>), They're so affordable but really nice! </div>

The next drawer contains some eye products, the things in here I don't tend to grab for that much apart from the Dipbrow which I use pretty much every day. This drawer has two Mac palettes (Pink Freeze and Keepsake collection palette in Plum), I have a couple of single eyeshadows, my favourite being the MAC mineralize eyeshadow in the shade "Young Punk". A gorgeous purple/black glittery eyeshadow, which looks fabulous on nights out! There is also some loose pigments in here and my favourite ever product from ABH which is the dipbrow, I use this every day and couldn't imagine using anything else at the minute. </div>

The last drawer is the one I go into the most, it holds my most used blushes and highlighters. Up until a few months back, blushers were not my thing at all. I owned probably one which hardly ever got used but now I love applying blush! I have some from MUA (Bon Bon), Makeup Revolution (Candy queen of hearts), Milani (Luminoso) and Primark (Coral). My most grabbed for blush in this drawer is definitely the Milani one, I have recently featured a whole post about this so check it out <a href="http://beautywithalisha.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/review-milani-cosmetics.html">here.</a> I have a few highlighters also in this drawer, Urban Decay (Luminos), The Balm Mary Lou Manizer and MAC mineralize skin finish (Global Glow).<br />

The latest addition to my skin care routine has been the <b><a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Garnier/Garnier-Cleansing-Micellar-Water-400ml/p/809257?gclid=CjwKEAjwvbGqBRCs3eH4o5C74CYSJAB3TODsmLENLOntcw833IdEY_18x70PNMeg4vaYO9uWPrR2HRoCbAzw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#.VUzd3flViko">Garnier - Micellar cleansing water</a></b>. I'm sure you have all heard of micellar waters by now but if you haven't its basically a product which removes makeup and cleanses the skin without any need of rinsing. Micellar water takes it's name from micelles which are small round balls of cleansing molecules that float in the water. When you apply the product to your skin, these capture all the oil and dirt on your face and remove it instantly. I decided to get this to try as Micellar water is very gentle and doesn't contain any harsh ingredients unlike some other makeup removers. My skin can be very sensitive so I have to be careful with what I use, but this perfume-free cleansing water works wonders for me! </div>

This caught my eye due to it's cute and girly packaging and also the amount of product you get, this is a huge <i>400ml </i>bottle which says you should get at least 200 uses out of it so this should last me quite a while. I picked this up from Superdrug for <b>£3.32 </b>which is a bargain as this is much cheaper than some other micellar waters out on the market. I like to use a makeup wipe first to remove the bulk of my makeup and then soak a cotton pad with the micellar water and swipe across my face and eyes to remove the rest. It even removes stubborn mascara and heavy eye makeup with just a couple of swipes!</div>

It literally removes my makeup in seconds and hasn't once left my skin feeling irritated, infact after using this my skin feels <i>fresh, clean and soothed</i>. This is such an effective product and does exactly what it says. I love to use this when I come home from a night out as I can never be bothered to wash my face with a cleanser and water so this is a great alternative for me!</div>

I'm always looking at brands from the US and always constantly wishing they could be available here in the UK. Milani cosmetics has always been one brand that I have wanted to try as it's raved about by so many beauty gurus! I was recently browsing the internet looking at makeup (as usual) and came across <a href="http://www.beautycrowd.com/">Beauty Crowd</a>, an online shop which stocks brands such as Milani, Jordanna, Nicka K, LA girl etc. These are brands which are so hard to get hold of over here so I was completely shocked and happy when I found this website. As I am makeup OBSESSED I had to purchase two products from the Milani range as I was so eager to try this brand.<br />

I decided on getting a baked blusher in the shade "Luminoso", I decided to get this colour as I've heard Jaclyn Hill talk about it multiple times, saying how lovely it is and she was completely right. I wore it today for the first time and I'm completely obsessed. It's light peach shade with a slight golden shimmer, I loved how this looked on me, it gave me such a healthy sun-kissed glow! The pigmentation in this blusher is amazing, as these are so affordable I was worried these wouldn't give much pay off but I was completely wrong. The packaging is quite bulky as there is a second compartment with a mirror and a small brush. The mirror is handy, but I will not be using the brush as it is not the best quality but its always good to keep one there if I am out and don't have anything to apply my blusher with. I am in love with these blushers and would absolutely love to collect them in every colour! </div>

I couldn't not order a new lippy, so I decided to get this one in "26 Nude Creme". Yes, another nude lipstick... I don't know why but at the moment all I seem to want to wear is nude lipsticks. The pigmentation again is gorgeous, I am completely surprised at the quality of these due to the price. This is a neutral toned pink shade which would suit most skin tones. Again, I wore this today and the staying power made me very happy, I was so pleased at how long it lasted (I reckon 4 hours until it started to fade)! </div>

Now lets talk about the packaging. So so pretty! I absolutely love the gold and they look so gorgeous on my dressing table. If I didn't know, I would definitely think these are a high end product. For the price, the quality is unreal. I showed these to my mum as soon as I got them and she couldn't believe they were a drug-store product. </div>
<div>
Overall, I am so happy I finally have the chance to get my hands on Milani products (Thanks to Beauty Crowd). Next, I would like to get more products from Milani and I also am dying to try the LA girl pro concealers! </div>

Wow, I can't believe we are in May. How fast is this year going already?! It feels like Christmas was only a few week ago. Anyway, I have been loving a few things in the month of April...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: 'century gothic', 'source sans pro'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">❤<b> </b></span><b>Urban Decay Naked Illuminated Highlighter (Luminous)</b> - A highlighter has seemed to creep up on my past favourites but that is because I am obsessed with them. I am always on the look out for new highlighters to try. I purchased this one by Urban Decay a couple of month ago and especially love it for nights out. This champagne shade highlighter can be used on the face and also the body so it's perfect for highlighting your cheek bones, brow bone and collar bone! This is very glittery, so I tend to stay away from this as an every day highlighter but on a night out this looks gorgeous and pictures wonderfully. (Full review<a href="http://beautywithalisha.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/review-urban-decay-naked-illuminated.html"> here</a>)</div>

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'century gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">❤ </span>Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation (Pebble) - </b>This is literally my all time favourite foundation and has been for a while now. It applies flawlessly onto my skin, giving medium to full coverage which lasts ALL day. I like how I can use a small amount and build it up without it looking cakey! If you would like a full review on this foundation please let me know and I will happily do so. </div>

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'century gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">❤ </span>Loreal Telescopic Mascara -</b> I am so impressed with this mascara, I have only just recently purchased this when it was on offer in Asda for £8! I cannot believe I hadn't tried this sooner, as it is amazing! I have been using it every day since I got it and will definitely be re-purchasing when I run out. It never leaves my lashes looking clumpy, it just simply adds length and volume without looking too much. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'century gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">❤ </span>Mac Lipstick in Creme Cup - </b>This is a <i>cremesheen</i> lipstick therefore slightly glossy, highly pigmented and glides on the lips smoothly due to its creamy formula. This pinky nude has been the lipstick I have been grabbing for recently, I love it for every day or pairing it with a smokey eye on a night out! This colour is definitely a must have for spring/summer! </div>

For the past couple of years, Soft & gentle by MAC was my all time favourite highlighter and I honestly thought nothing could ever top it. Oh how I was wrong! The Balm's Mary-Lou Manizer has stole my heart, I absolutely love it!<br />
<br />
I use this every single day without fail, I love applying it to my cheek bones and brow bone to add a gorgeous subtle glow to my face. This oil-free pressed powder is perfect, you can use it to enhance your features, apply as an eyeshadow and also to highlight your brow bone. The texture is just like butter, sooooo soft, making this easy to blend onto the skin. I really like how this highlighter adds such a nice glow but doesn't add big chunks of glitter onto my face, the colour is a tad golden but I would describe this more as a champagne shade. <br />
