<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Yes, I've been shopping a fair bit lately. I thought I'd treat myself, and why not. We all need a treat now and again, don't we.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Superdrugs a shop i don't that often go into, mainly because i work for Boots, so just tend to buy things i need while I'm at work, or with my Staff Discount. But i have noticed, Superdrug does have some better offers than boots, and they also carry a different range of make up brands, One of them being Sleek, my favourite highstreet brand. So on the occasion i pop in, i do usually end up buying something.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This time though, so many things caught my eye!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-knormz6yXXU/UTzAsnVtNvI/AAAAAAAABWQ/aZHkeLnvt7c/s1600/Superdrug+Haul.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-knormz6yXXU/UTzAsnVtNvI/AAAAAAAABWQ/aZHkeLnvt7c/s640/Superdrug+Haul.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">My first purchase, and main reason for heading to Superdrug was to pick up the new MUA, Undress Your Skin Highlighter. One of my local Superdrugs was completely sold out! Its been muchly raved about across the Blogsphere, as its apparently pretty good dupe for the much loved MAC Mineralize Skin Finish, I'm unsure of a particular shade having not tried them before.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I always have a look at the Sleek stand if I'm in Superdrug, as i said previously they are my favourite high street make up brand, I particularly LOVE their i-Divine Palettes, they are incredibly pigmented and have the most stunning colours in. I've not seen this palette before, so I'm not sure if its new, but picked up the SnapShots Palette, so many bright colours! its going to be perfect for summer.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">And my last purchase was very much on impulse, and its from a new brand called B. i was really intrigued, and they were running a free gift offer if you spent £10, so i thought that'd be the perfect way to try out a range of products from the brand, as they aren't just MakeUp but skincare as well. To spend £10 i chose two lipsticks, i was there for ages deciding what products and shades to buy, there is so much choice! The other great thing about B. is that they are suitable for Vegans & Vegetarians, and all the products carry the jumping bunny logo, meaning they are certified by Cruelty Free International. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This is just a quick post, to show you what goodies i picked up, and i plan to do a full post on each purchase.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Have you treated yourself to anything lately?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Lots of Love</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I saw these on a blog somewhere many months ago, and knew i just HAD to have them! I love anything Alice In Wonderland Themed. EOS is pretty hard to get hold of here in the UK, and after a little scout on Ebay, i was willing to pay the extortionate prices on there, for what is essentially a few lip balms. Luckily, i have family in America, and they had recently asked me if there was anything particular I'd like for Christmas, THIS was top of my list, Though knowing they were limited edition over there, i wasn't sure how long they'd already been out before i discovered them. But luckily they managed to find me a packet, which i am so so grateful for, So along with a bag full of American 'candy' this is what i got for Christmas Stateside.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iMy_-SzvxhM/UR0PzMF0utI/AAAAAAAABUQ/2oKWxrbOeQk/s1600/031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iMy_-SzvxhM/UR0PzMF0utI/AAAAAAAABUQ/2oKWxrbOeQk/s640/031.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The packaging looks simple and cute, with little 'Alices' printed all round the edges, the rest just being plain white. Simple but effective. But, once you take the insert holding the balms out, you're treated to this...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0mBV9IvZVX0/UR0P1Xd51eI/AAAAAAAABUY/GHibbkzJ5Qc/s1600/033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0mBV9IvZVX0/UR0P1Xd51eI/AAAAAAAABUY/GHibbkzJ5Qc/s640/033.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I LOVE IT!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">A cute little print of the Mad Hatters Tea Party, with the quote "Very Few Things Indeed Were Really Impossible" I'd of much preferred it, if it wasn't then printed in another language, but that can't be helped.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I am planning on putting this up in my room somewhere.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qUXsCREyrDI/UR0P_6FbJzI/AAAAAAAABUg/mOTHHjQwgS0/s1600/035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qUXsCREyrDI/UR0P_6FbJzI/AAAAAAAABUg/mOTHHjQwgS0/s640/035.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The down side of these balms, that once they're out of the packaging you'd never know they were part of an Alice In Wonderland collection, the only inkling is the Mickey Mouse head embossed into the packaging. Though that alone doesn't scream 'Alice In Wonderland' Maybe a Rabbit or a Tea Cup. But i suppose Disney have to get their mark on it somehow/where. Also, the packaging does affect the effectiveness of the products, its all aesthetic so it doesn't reaalllyyy matter. It just would have been nice.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">EOS Balms are 100% Natural and 95% Organic. They are also Paraben-Free and contain Shea Butter and Joboba Oil.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The Alice Collection Included 3 Flavours...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Blueberry Potion</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This smells and tastes just like a Blueberry Muffin. I though this flavour was going to be my least favourite. But i actually think it might be my favourite.The scent/flavour is really subtle and not to over-powering or to synthetic. The formulation is really nice, it not to greasy or to dry and it glides onto the lips </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I haven't given them all a proper trial as to lasting times etc but I've heard many-a-good thing about EOS Lip Balms.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uvzw5pe8y-g/UR0QBRylGmI/AAAAAAAABUs/IkUTGnUw3eU/s1600/037.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uvzw5pe8y-g/UR0QBRylGmI/AAAAAAAABUs/IkUTGnUw3eU/s640/037.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Watermelon Wonderland</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This is my second favourite flavour from the trio or possibly equal to Blueberry Potion. It so fruity and sweet, i just love love love it. Again once the balm is on your lips, it isn't to sweet or overpowering, but it does make me want to lick it off.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--S4QJyuLh2U/UR0QH3ZNEXI/AAAAAAAABU4/gwgbZjIp_Zw/s1600/038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--S4QJyuLh2U/UR0QH3ZNEXI/AAAAAAAABU4/gwgbZjIp_Zw/s640/038.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Sweet Vanilla Nonsense</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I think my least favourite smell from the trio. It has a weird vanilla smell almost like bees waxy kind of hint to it, which I'm not a massive fan of. Its not as bad once its on the lips, but the actual Vanilla-ness is so so subtle. Which i suppose is good in contrast to the other sweet scents.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">So all in all, I'm very pleased to have Alice In Wonderland EOS Balms, I'm also very excited to try EOS balms for the first time and have already have other flavours recommended to me (i really want to try the lemon one!)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">You might remember from the summer, i took part in a Savvy Circle Project, for the Braun Silk Epil.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Well, this time I've been selected to trial the New Venus & Olay collaboration as well as an Olay moisturiser.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">My 'kit' came in the post today, containing, A Venus & Olay Five Blade Razor, an Olay Essentials Complete Care Multiradiance Fluid, Information Booklet and lots of vouchers to pass onto friends and family.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I'm just going to do a quick First Impressions/Unboxing., and over the next few weeks Ill do full reviews of the products. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">First of all i opened the Razor up, I'm really intrigued to try it out and see how the Olay element of the razor works.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The packaging of the product has a lovely summery feel to it, and has a holographic finish in some areas, which you can just pick up in the picture.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The pack contains, the Razor handle, 1 head and a holder that has a suction cup to attach to the shower wall (pretty handy) I always thought Venus razors came with a spare head, but perhaps they've changed.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The razor head holds two moisture strips infused with Olay goodness as well as being lightly scented with notes of Caramel and Peach, which smells really scrummy.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I cant wait to try it out, and see how well the moisture strips work. According to the information book, the moisture strips mean you don't need to use any shaving gel or foam with the razor, you just wet it and it creates its own lather.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Unfortunately i wont be able to use the razor until at least next week, as I'm not allowed to get the stitches in my ankle wet.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The other part of the kit is the Olay Essentials, Complete Care Multiradiance Fluid.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I've never tried an Olay moisturiser before, so it'll be good to see how this one works out, my only concern with the product at the moment is that it states it for Normal/Oily skin type, whereas i have a Normal/Dry skin type. I'll still give the product a good try and hopefully it won't make to much difference.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The product comes in a 75ml pump bottle. I like pump bottles on moisturiser, i think its more hygienic and i tend to use a lot less product, than if I'm just scooping it a pot with my fingers.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">*Please Excuse My Bruised Hand*</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The product itself is actually a bit thicker than i was expecting, as a fluid i was expecting something quite watery, but this has a nice consistency.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">It contains 'light reflecting particles' which essentially is glitter. This though doesn't have chunky glitter like some of the cheaper illuminating products have. This one leaves a nice subtle sheen on your skin, something I'd imagine looks gorgeous in the summer times.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The other thing i love about the product is that it has a lovely fresh scent, this could be down to the Mandarin extract, though is doesn't smell very citrus-y.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The moisturiser also contains SPF 15 UVA/UVB, so its great for protecting your skin day-to-day.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I really cant wait to try out both these products, and I'll be sure to keep you up dated on how i get on!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Have you tried either of these products before?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Today, I've literally spent the WHOLE day, making a small thoughtful valentines gift. Me & the boyf haven't been together that long at all (just over a month) So i didn't want to get anything to extravagant or too sentimental, tbh, Its such early days, i don't want to look a bit of a keeno haha.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">So i thought, I'll make him a card, and bake him a little something. I've been wanting to make Cake Pops for AGES now. My family in the states actually sent me a Cake Pop book a few years ago, but they hadn't taken off over here yet and i found sourcing things to make them fairly difficult. But thanks to bespoke/boutique bakeries and the growing passion for baking over here in the UK, its gotten a lot easier.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">It also helps that a fairly large craft 'Superstore' has opened up fairly locally, where they stock everything to fulfil my Cake Pop Need.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I'm not going to lie and say i made everything from scratch because i didn't, i cheated quite a bit. I used a store bought cake mix AND store bought icing/frosting. But in my defence the book did say if you've never made them before, its the best option to get a consistent result, so you know, gotta do what the book says.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The book i used for little helpers, was a book called 'Cake Pops' By Angie Dudley. I found it super helpful, the first quarter of the book, is literally just going through all the things you need, tips and tricks and general helpfulness. There's loads of clear pictures and it is perfect for beginners. It then goes on to give you loads of super cute ideas! Everything from animals to aliens and all special occasions, weddings, Easter, graduation, valentines etc.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Here's a selection of some of my favourites...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Cute eh?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I thought I'd do a quick little guide as to how i made my Cake Pops, i must say its fairly simple BUT very time consuming. If I'd known, i probably would have made the actual cakes yesterday then i could of just cracked on with forming and decorating today.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I started off by just making up my boxed bake mix, i used a Betty Crocker Red Velvet mix, but I'm pretty sure they would work with any cake mix. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4d-dS5UhL9I/URvQvxA9PzI/AAAAAAAABQk/67oZn0agwws/s1600/Cake+Pop+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="322" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4d-dS5UhL9I/URvQvxA9PzI/AAAAAAAABQk/67oZn0agwws/s640/Cake+Pop+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">On the box it said to split it between 2 cake tins, but my cakes ended up pretty flat, not that it really mattered.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">After leaving the cakes to completely cool, i carefully sliced off the top 'skin' of the cake as it seemed to be pretty sticky, and you need to be able to crumble the cake.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m11WIbgS3bg/URvQvlO516I/AAAAAAAABQc/TClTKzdHzuI/s1600/Cake+Pop+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="186" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m11WIbgS3bg/URvQvlO516I/AAAAAAAABQc/TClTKzdHzuI/s640/Cake+Pop+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Once all the cakes been crumbled into a bowl, i added a large scoop of frosting, and you just mix it up until you get a good consistency. You need to be careful when adding the frosting, not to add to much. It should disappear into the cake mix, and shouldn't be too sloppy. I think i added just a tiny bit to much as they were quite a smooth consistency and not amazingly cakey, but as well as they can hold a ball shape, that's all that really matters. I imagine its a bit trial and error with how much frosting you add.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I then bunged then in the freezer for about 20mins so they were firm enough to coat.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This was my decorating set up, i used a polystyrene block to hold the lollipop sticks in, and silicone cake case to put sprinkles and bits in.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nN1BIAnYuSk/URvTd1qyxiI/AAAAAAAABQ4/kptLdJHQ6_Y/s1600/019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nN1BIAnYuSk/URvTd1qyxiI/AAAAAAAABQ4/kptLdJHQ6_Y/s640/019.JPG" width="426" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">To coat the Cake Pops i used the suggested 'Candy Melts' I've never worked with this product before, and I personally found it tricky to get the hang of, but eventually managed to get a good coating on my pops.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">And here's the finished result...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">These were just the ones that turned out well, there were plenty that went terribly terribly wrong!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">But for a first attempt I'm pretty please with the outcome.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">To finish them off, I've popped a couple in little cellophane bags and tied with pink ribbon, just to give a bit of a finishing touch.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I think these are a really cute idea, as just a small gesture for any special occasion. They'd be great at birthday parties as well, as one cake mix could of made around 20ish pops (if you're good)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I've honestly truly missed blogging regularly, it's almost like something is missing, I've finished uni, so i never have a scary deadline creeping up on me, and you know i kind of miss it! I feel a little bit lost, knowing i have no work i HAVE to do. Its a strange feeling, knowing i can lie in and not feel guilty because I've got a 10million word essay to write or 10thousand sketchbooks to fill, obviously i work and things, but actually having spare time is a strange concept to get used to.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">But blogging has definitely been missed, I finally have my room pretty much organised or enough to properly sit down and get some work done. My wardrobes been built i have all my furniture in its places and my bits and bots are starting to fill my room, slowly but surely. The main parts that need doing now, is the decorating, my room is semi-painted, but it needs another coat and my wardrobe painting/papering. I will get round to doing a room tour post, and possibly a post on how i plan to decorate the wall/wardrobe area, all in due course.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I have so much i want to blog about! Haven't there been some amazing make up releases lately?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br />I'm going to start with February Glossy Box though, it turned up yesterday, and i thought what perfect timing, to get back into the blogging swing of things. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Glossy Box is now the only beauty box I'm subbed to, I've found it's been the only one I've been consistently happy with and it was getting to the point where with other boxes i wasn't excited about then arriving, and they were just getting a bit 'meh' Glossy Box survived the Cull, and i must say, I'm really loving this months box.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Cute little touch this month, a heart shaped lollipop, which I've munched while typing out this post *it was delicious*</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This months selection of lovely products, I think this month, the balance has been struck pretty well. I'm pretty sure there is something for everyone, its almost like a 'go to' box, you know what i mean? like if you had to leave suddenly and you could only grab this Glossy Box i think you'd be pretty sorted. A moisturiser, a fragrance, a highlighter, a lipstick & a blusher. Pretty sorted i think.</span></span></div>

<u><b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Micabella Cosmetics, Mineral Blush Powder.</span></span></b></u></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This is a brand I've not heard of, (that's another thing about not blogging, i feel so out of the 'loop'!) The blush is made of 100% natural Mica, which is crystal-like mineral.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The blush has gorgeous pigmentation not to heavy, but not to sheer. Its got a really subtle shimmer to it, i often find with mineral products especially loose powder, the are insanely shimmery. But this has a lovely subtle shimmer. Mine is in the shade Siera Suede, almost like a terracotta colour which i think will look lovely in the summer with a bit of a tan. The other great thing, this blush has an SPF15 I've never seen a blusher contain SPF before, that's pretty good.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The sample is 0.8g, full size is 9g and retails for £34.95 and are available <a href="http://micabella.co.uk/">here</a>. </span></span></div>

<u><b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Helen É Cosmetics, Moisturisng LipStick.</span></span></b></u></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Has this brand been around for years? I seem to remember it from a long long time ago, but it not being a very well known brand? I have some shimmery eye dust, which I'm sure i bought from the clothes show when i was like 18?</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">But anyway, this lipstick, have the shade Dusk, a Plummy/Red colour.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The lipstick has well pigmented, and a lovely glossy sheen, i wouldn't say it feels the most moisturising on the lips, but its not incredibly drying either. The shade is definitely a more of an Autumn/Winter colour, but I've found applying with my finger like a balm, creates more of a stain and is a bit less 'dramatic' a bit more subtle.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This is a full size sample, which retails for £8.00 and is available<a href="http://helen-e.com/"> here</a>. </span></span></div>

<u><b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">MeMeMe Cosmetics, Beat The Blues.</span></span></b></u></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I've read so many posts on this little beauty, I'm so excited to get in a box. I was actually planning on purchasing this at some point. I think highlighter is my favourite product, i never feel quite right if i don't apply any.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The MeMeMe Beat The Blues, has be said to be a dupe for Benefit Highlighters, i received the shade Oyster Gold, which i believe is a dupe for Benefit MoonBeam, the other shade in the range is Pearl Pink, which is a dupe for the Pink Toned Benefit HighBeam. Having not used MoonBeam before, i can't say whether this is a true dupe or not, but if you look at swatches online or even other blog posts i think its pretty obvious.<a href="http://missstephanieusher.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/benefit-moon-beam.html"> Steph from Hope Freedom Love did a great post comparing the two products, if you want to check that out for the comparison.</a></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Its an absolute bargain at £5.50/12ml compared to the £18.50/13ml Benefit price. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Oyster Gold, as it says is a gorgeous gold toned highlighter, which can be used to accentuate the cheekbones and brow bones. You can also, mix a little bit of it with your usual foundation or moisturiser to give you a nice all over, Dewey glow. I love doing that in summer when I've got a tan and perhaps don't wear foundation, but want a little summin summin, more than moisturiser.</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Again a brand I've not heard of, that is, according to the information sheet, available in boots and sainsburys.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">It is a high quality fine fragrance body spray, mine is Radiance 'A seductive blend of Rose and Bergamot' Its love light floral scent, which is also to fresh. It isn't to over powering or to 'old lady-esque' On Boots the only flavour i can find is 'Awe' Which is Jasmine & Rose, The 100ml bottle retails for £2.29 on <a href="http://boots.com/">Boots.com</a></span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">"This luscious Raspberry cream that enfold your skin in absolute softness and hydration combines 4 Raspberry extracts that offer the skin suppleness, comfort and protection all day long. Morning and/or evening, on the face and neck."</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I'm yet to take the seal off of this, as I'm currently using other skincare products, so i cant give much of an opinion on this. I'm really hoping its going to have subtle Raspberry scent. Reading the information sheet, it sounds like this cream might be perfect for my horribly dry winter skin. I look forward to trying this product out for sure.</span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">So a couple of weeks ago, i attended the #bboggers Xmas meet, in London.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The event was held in The Reebok Bar in London's Canary Wharf. It was a weird, but nice place, and took AGES to find lol. the first 2 floors of the building were a Waitrose, with the top few floors being the sports club, so there was apparently a gym, pool, spa etc as well as the bar, where the event was held.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The bar looked out on to a temporary ice rink that was surrounded by pretty Christmassy trees, i tried to get some photos, but as it was getting dark outside they didn't come out so well.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I spent the majority of the event with Sara from <a href="http://www.pretty-in-pink-blog.com/">Pretty In Pink</a>, Which was lovely, it was so nice to get to finally meet some of the bbloggers, and put some faces to names etc.There was so much to see and do at the event, there were a few brands there to chat to, though sadly i didn't get a chance to have a proper chat with them, i did get some press releases to look through.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">We were all given a beauty quiz to complete, which was good fun, some of the questions were crazy hard. Do you know what the 'm' in 'Barry M' stands for?! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Some lovely ladies from Aromatherapy Associates and *i think* soap box pr gave a little talk about the brands they represent and things. While we stuffed ourselves with cake pops, biscuits and pop chips, that were all laid out on the tables for us.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Aromatherapy Associates were giving everyone hand & arm massages, they were so relaxing and the lady doing them was so lovely. There were also people from the spa at the sports club spa doing nail paints, with colours from the OPI Germany Collection, i had mine painted with 'Suzi & The 7 Dussledorfs' a gorgeous purple colour, Sara Chose 'Deutsch you love me baby' a Stunning bright Orange-Red. Mines lasted amazingly well and just this week has started to chip. I completely forgot to take a picture of them, they're all chipped and horrible now.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">There were actually 2 bags, a bag full of snacky foodie bits and another one crammed full of beauty products.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">ProperCorn, I'd actually bought a bag of these the day before if a different flavour, i think Fiery Tomato & Worcester sauce or something, and they were delicious, so i have high hopes for Sour Cream & Chive flavour I love savoury pop corn and its a much healthier alternative to crisps.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I'd not heard of Little Miracles before, this was Organic Energy in Black Tea, Ginseng, Peach and Acai. I didn't notice much in the way of boosted energy, but it did taste quite nice. I've not seen them in any shop anywhere though, have you?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">and lastly Pop Chips, i have tried these before because they actually featured in a She Said Beauty Box. They were also laid out on the tables at the event. They are yummmmyyy. Again I've not seen any in any shops near me.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">So on to what you've all probably been waiting for the beauty goodies! I wont go in to detail on every product as this post is already quite long and there is literally a million products, as i use them, they'll get reviewed on here. So here goes...</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So, I'm writing this post from my new iPad. No idea how its going to turn out. So fingers crossed. Also, if anyone has an app recommendations post them below :)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I went a little mad with the lush Christmas range, pretty much bought one of everything. I'll try and work my way through them and get them all up before they sell out.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">First up is the Father Christmas bath ballistic, I think this one I,particular would make a great present. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-wVN8_c-GRSQ/ULvNoZ9_15I/AAAAAAAABKI/snIAdQny2PI/s640/blogger-image-791711388.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-wVN8_c-GRSQ/ULvNoZ9_15I/AAAAAAAABKI/snIAdQny2PI/s640/blogger-image-791711388.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The outside is a lovely red and white Father Christmas face, with a hint of some red glitter. The ballistic is scented with mandarin oil and orange flower giving it a real Christmas satsuma smell. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The initial fizz of this is a nice light pink colour and more glitter bursts out.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">As the outer layer fizzes away, this amazing vivid Christmas green colour comes pouring out. At this point as well the satsuma scent is quite strong, but still really nice! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-oXGB2dhJg7A/ULvNleR_8nI/AAAAAAAABJw/v-YamShuFAA/s640/blogger-image--766193516.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-oXGB2dhJg7A/ULvNleR_8nI/AAAAAAAABJw/v-YamShuFAA/s640/blogger-image--766193516.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The end result is a gorgeous bright green satsuma scented bath with some lovely red glitter in.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Unfortunately I ran my bath waaay to hot and it made me feel a bit ill. So I had to get out and couldn't enjoy my bath for as long as I'd have liked to.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I'll definitely be stocking up on this one before it leaves stores.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Txs1BPGv44o/ULvNmSfFnqI/AAAAAAAABJ4/hRW14FJBCLU/s640/blogger-image-1454416578.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Txs1BPGv44o/ULvNmSfFnqI/AAAAAAAABJ4/hRW14FJBCLU/s640/blogger-image-1454416578.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XW5NNuErUfw/ULvNnZ2qYjI/AAAAAAAABJ8/UyP1z-gl7oY/s640/blogger-image--1196854104.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XW5NNuErUfw/ULvNnZ2qYjI/AAAAAAAABJ8/UyP1z-gl7oY/s640/blogger-image--1196854104.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The only downside is the glitter does stick to the bath so you have to give it a bit if a rinse afterwards. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">But other than that I really recommend this one and can't wait to try more of the Christmas range.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

But, my mums sister (so my auntie) lives in America, with her American husband and my 2 cousins. I absolutely love love love love love going to visit them and have been 3 times since i was about 12. My eldest cousin has a little girl who is now 1!! and is pregnant with her second baba, I'm yet to meet the Adorable Kathryn, and the soon-ish (February) to be arriving Caroline, and I'm SO desperate to meet them both, and see all my family again, and to just generally be in America. I LOVE it over there.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">my plan when i finished uni, was always to go over for a few months to stay with my family and just travel round a few states, and work a bit. I've always said it, but not actually done anything about it. But now I've decided, I'm never going to get there if i don't start saving even a teeny tiny bit.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">At the moment, I'm trying to pay off the overdraft on my student account, but hopefully if all goes to plan that should be paid off by Christmas or late January. Then once that's paid off i can start seriously saving. Until then though, i thought every little helps so in TK Maxx the other day i spotted these beauties...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cApf5sG4azY/UIbJ4DiEglI/AAAAAAAABIA/9TxEbfMkx24/s1600/075.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cApf5sG4azY/UIbJ4DiEglI/AAAAAAAABIA/9TxEbfMkx24/s640/075.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The box, is a cute little square box, the top looks like an old school air mail envelope, and around the sides has all different kinds of stamps and post marks.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l6jMnO02N4k/UIbKcbgA1lI/AAAAAAAABII/fEzXDn4Vin0/s1600/076.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l6jMnO02N4k/UIbKcbgA1lI/AAAAAAAABII/fEzXDn4Vin0/s640/076.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I found it on clearance for about £2, I'm going to use it to save 20p's in. My mum saves every 20pence piece she gets and her piggy bank is always over flowing. So i thought until I've got my overdraft paid off this will be the way forward. 20p's in a box, so far i have about £3!! It may take a while to save up enough 20ps to travel America, but as i mentioned before every little helps.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The little note book or 'Travel Journal' is the coolest thing, and if i had any friends about to go travelling i would have bought all 3 that they had on the shelf, i think this was about £4.99, which i think is about average for a notebook in TK Maxx (if you haven't checked out TK Maxx for notebooks YOU MUST, they have the most unusual and prettiest notebooks you've ever seen!)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I couldn't not buy this one, even though my travelling days are a long way off yet, I'm going to keep it safe until the day i leave.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This is why i love it so....</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"> I love the vintage looking front cover and the elastic closure making sure everythings kept super secure.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This is the inside cover, on the left, there is a 'air mail envelope' with one of those old fashioned tie closures, handy for keeping ticket stubs, postcards, photos etc in of all the places you've visited on your travels. Cute right?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ny7RMhOBdok/UIbMtuUqjDI/AAAAAAAABIo/Nmb6j-UsZL8/s1600/080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ny7RMhOBdok/UIbMtuUqjDI/AAAAAAAABIo/Nmb6j-UsZL8/s640/080.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I didn't photograph it, but on the first page of the notebook section, there are a couple of printed luggage tags for you to write your name address etc on, so if you were to lose it hopefully somebody nice would return it to you.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The first section is a 'Things to do before i go' check list, This is AMAZING. I'm an avid list maker, and literally can't do anything or go anyway without making a list. I also think its handy, so that you don't forget anything important, if you're going away for a long time there are lots of things to remember, like cancelling phone bills or any subscriptions you have. The check boxes next to the lines are a great idea so you can tick things off as you do them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-73zOD5eJGX8/UIbMH7RDpBI/AAAAAAAABIg/9j6j2zzYA-E/s1600/079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-73zOD5eJGX8/UIbMH7RDpBI/AAAAAAAABIg/9j6j2zzYA-E/s640/079.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">A special packing list section! all the pages are made to look old/ vintage. There are quite a few pages in each section so you could probably use them for multiple trips. I imagine when i go to stay with my family, I'll be doing little mini excursions to other places and a packing list for each one would probably come in handy!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Ld3obSYCMw/UIbLkySdxuI/AAAAAAAABIY/jMhDtvulGzk/s1600/078.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Ld3obSYCMw/UIbLkySdxuI/AAAAAAAABIY/jMhDtvulGzk/s640/078.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Then there are the actual diary pages, in the the top left corner it always has a space to write, where you are, the date and the weather. the pages differ through the book, some pages just have a nice illustration on whereas others have a little mock sellotaped note on them, the page i photographed says "where i am now looks like: " so you can write a description of where you are right at that moment. Some of the other 'notes' say things like, "As i write i can see..." or "Save something near you right now to keep as a memento. If it's too large or heavy, perhaps you can take a photo or buy a postcard" I think these are super cute!! they make each day slightly different. Some of the pages have really nice quotes on them, about travelling, one of my favourites is this one "Not all who wander are lost." J. R. R. Tolkien.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">There are loads of diary pages as well, which is really good.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The next part is probably one of my favourites and i must of completely skipped this part when i was looking in the shop, as i didn't notice it till i got home.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--ieXVYNuAts/UIbNPvl1kDI/AAAAAAAABIw/1CtIcxmGJsQ/s1600/081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--ieXVYNuAts/UIbNPvl1kDI/AAAAAAAABIw/1CtIcxmGJsQ/s640/081.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This is the favourites section, there's areas for restaurants, bars, shops,cafes and hotels. On the little note cards, you can write the name of the place you went, what you ate/drank/bought, things to recommend to people and your general thoughts on the place you can always give it a star rating. A great page to use as reference when you get home and you're telling people about all the amazing places you ate/drank/slept.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7yRBkE8Pn3I/UIbN5U4F4TI/AAAAAAAABI4/mx9CngO5P7A/s1600/082.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7yRBkE8Pn3I/UIbN5U4F4TI/AAAAAAAABI4/mx9CngO5P7A/s640/082.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">And lastly is the 'Address book' pages, with spaces to write addresses, emails, telephone number. So you have no excuse not to send a postcard. Or handy if you make any new friends while travelling, so you can keep in contact with them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The last couple of pages, just have weight/length convertions and list of currency if different countries etc.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br />So all in all a pretty handy little book, its really light and handbag sized so great for carrying around with you.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I think this would make a great present for anyone who might be going travelling soon, i love little sentimental things like this, that you can keep forever and look back on from time to time. Something to show your grandchildren as my Nienie would say.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">What do you think?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Lots of Love</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Back in September i was lucky enough to attend Olympia Beauty, for a while I've been meaning to do a post and show you all my photos from the event,. So this will be a very picture heavy post.
It was the first time I'd been to this event and I will DEFINITELY be going again! I had a great time and there was so much to see, i was introduced to loads of brands and new products. Everyone was so friendly it was just generally and great experience.
As I'd travelled up from Cornwall for the event, i made the most of my time and went to both of the 2 days. Personally i think you NEED to 2 days just to see everything! I cant wait till next years, and am already looking into other events.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This
was the Media Hub/ VIP Area, this was a great area where we could go
and chill, grab a coffee and meet with some great brands. Filthy
Gorgeous where in there pampering everyone with manicures.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"> The entrants for the Make Up and Nails Competition were AMAZING! I was so impressed with them all.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">And this was one of my favourite finished make up looks, i just love the eyebrows!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/030.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/030.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">There
was so much to see at Olympia Beauty. The nail polish stands were like a
work of art, all the colours lined up beautifully, and the same with
the Eldora Lash Stand. I was overwhelmed by the amount of companies
there, and even though i was there both days i still don't think i saw
everything. There were a few spray tan companies, offering spray tans
there and then, and girls were actually stripping off to their paper
pants and standing in front of the crowds having a spray tan. They must
have been very brave! I've never had a spray tan in private, let alone
in public! you could have pretty much any beauty treatment. There were
people doing nails, eyelash extensions, massage, and even the FlaBelos
machines, another thing you wouldn't catch me doing in public! Haha.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"> I
didn't end up buying a lot of stuff, I way to indecisive and was so
overwhelmed by the amount of colours and products that i only really
bought a couple of things. Some make up sanitiser, only 1 nail polish!
From the China Glaze Hunger Games series, though i could have easily
gone mad in the OPI shop, but i restrained. I also bought a couple of
skincare bits to try out.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Tickets
for the event are free to any beauty industry professionals or Beauty
students, and its well worth the trip up to London! I thoroughly enjoyed
myself and cant wait till next years event!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I'm hoping to attend Professional beauty early next year, and look forward to seeing how the 2 events compare.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I hate to say bad things about products, but i really can't say I'm wowed by this box. The samples are so teeny tiny and the only 'full size' product is travel size which i could get in boots for a couple of squids. Nonetheless i shall show you what i got....</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yu6Cev0um9E/UHsJWGS5vzI/AAAAAAAABHM/nSOfFNYTO3E/s1600/071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yu6Cev0um9E/UHsJWGS5vzI/AAAAAAAABHM/nSOfFNYTO3E/s640/071.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">First up, Cellnique Advanced Bio Renewal Masque. This is a scrub mask that contains fruit enzymes and acid. Its the teeny tiny round pot in the photo, it has a 3g sample in. Is 3g enough to cover my entire face? Who knows, i think not we will have to wait and see.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Next is B.Liv, off with those heads. This actually sounds like an interesting product. The 'light cooling gel' promises to easily remove stubborn black heads and whiteheads. you just apply it to your face and leave it. I thought there might be some washing off process but now. I'm interested to see how this works. Again a tiny 3ml sample.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Amy Childs Fragrance, I *think* Amy Childs is from TOWIE? I don't really watch it,but i think she's in it. I didnt even realise she had brought a fragrance out. I'm not gonna lie, it smells quite nice. Its definitely very girly, I'm sure I've smelt a similar smell, but i cant think what it is. The full size product is very reasonably priced for a perfume, £14.99 for the 30ml and £19.99 for 50ml. I probably won't be buying it, but at that price I'm sure it'd be a great Christmas present for the TOWIE fan in your life.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The sample sachets are Biao Beauty Rejuvenating night Créme containing triple action properties, to smooth, moisturise and protect against premature ageing. 2 x 2g sachets. the full size is 118ml and retails for $24.50</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The first 'full size' product is the travel size of Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula, dont get me wrong i really like this product, but not in a beauty box thanks. Sorry SSB.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Lastly My Vitamins Total Green Tea Extract. Green Tea in a tablet. Hmmm. Green Tea is a know powerful antioxidant. I've not taken any yet, I'm a little wary of taking things like this. I don't really understand whats its meant to do either?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">That's October She Said Beauty, I'm pretty disappointed if I'm honest. Sorry SSB. I hate being negative, but i don't want to lie and say i was chuffed with this box.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">What do you think of it?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">September Glossy Box, came in a limited edition box to celebrate London fashion week. The box has been designed by London based up-and-coming illustrator Maggi Li. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8cjWg5b1NeQ/UHrLwzigJNI/AAAAAAAABGQ/KP9gUyOQmFk/s1600/068.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8cjWg5b1NeQ/UHrLwzigJNI/AAAAAAAABGQ/KP9gUyOQmFk/s640/068.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Isn't it gorgeous! I can't wait for my room to be finished so i can keep this on my dressing table. It is definitely my favourite Glossy Box so far. But, on to the contents...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--aLJW09Y78k/UHrMPw31BWI/AAAAAAAABGY/6jUo_YCrNLM/s1600/070.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--aLJW09Y78k/UHrMPw31BWI/AAAAAAAABGY/6jUo_YCrNLM/s640/070.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">First Up, Rodial, Glamoxy Snake Serum and 5 Minute Facial. In the little envelope i got 2 sachets of each product, the full size version actually comes in sachets as well, you get 10x1ml sachets the snake serum retails at £29 and the 5 minute facial retails at £10.95. Its a revolutionary product that apparently has instantly visible results, I've not used it so cant say whether this is right or not, the product supposedly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The 5 minute facial is a triple action resurfacing gommage clay mask. It all sounds very technical, i look forward to trying them both.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Maghrabian Hair Oil, i don't know if I've said this before but, I LOVE HAIR OIL. I'm currently using L'Oreal Mythic Oil, so haven't actually tried this one out yet. It contains Argan Oil and helps to Nourish hydrate and condition your hair, making it super soft and shiny. I honestly can't praise hair oil enough, i love love love the stuff and cannot wait to try this one.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream, all i can say is BORED OF BALANCE ME. P.s This is actually a pretty good eye cream.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Vichy Idealia Day Care Cream, this is a smoothing and illuminating day cream. The cream is a gorgeous pink colour and has a really nice subtle scent. Its for Normal - Combination skin, and has a really nice semi-thick texture. A little bit really goes a long way, and even though its illuminating it isn't glittery! definitely a bonus.The sample is 15ml, and comes in a cute little glass jar. Full size is 50ml and retails for £25</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">And last but by no means least. LADY GAGA FAME, this couldn't be one of the most anticipated celebrity fragrances. Its the first beauty product from Lady Gaga, the liquid is black in the bottle but turns clear when sprayed, crazy eh? I think Tierry Muglar has done a similar think but with purple? I'm not sure. I'm really surprised at how nice the fragrance actually is. Not that i was expecting it to be horrible, but i was expecting it to be quite deep and musky and not really to my taste, But its actualyl quite floral. 'Tears of Belladonna, Crushed heart of Tiger Orchidea, with a black veil of incense. Pulverized Apricot and the combinative essences of Saffron and Honey Drops'</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Sounds pretty dark and ominous, the the perfume is gorgeous floral and fruity. Really very very nice!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">So that's September Glossy Box, again there was a massive variation on boxes and prices. But oh well, these things happen. I quite like my box?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">what did you think of Septembers Glossy Box?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Betrousse is a fairly new beauty box on the scene. Its unlike any of the others, this is a no subscription service, you also get to see whats in the boxes before you decide whether or not to purchase it or not. The other great thing about Betrousse is that they do a variety of boxes, so you can choose the box that most suits your wants or needs. Betrousse also contain all full size products, they generally contain 5 products, though some contain more. The usual price for the boxes is £19 but there is currently one box retailing for £17.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I was lucky enough to win a Betrousse Summer Break box, from the lovely <a href="http://freshbeautyxox.blogspot.co.uk/">Shona over at FreshBeautyxox</a>. So I just thought I'd show you whats in the box and let you know what i think about it all.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/007.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">First up, Orhis Nourishing Face Cream 50ml RRP £28.00 This face cream repairs, nourishes and protects the skin. Orhis is a French product and it contains Cottonseed, which is ideal for dry and damaged skin as its very soothing and has regenerating properties. and also Argan Oil, which is deeply nourishing. The creams ingredients have a 99.1% natural origin. The fragrance of the product is very light and subtle, a bit floral but very natural smelling. The consistency of the cream is fairly thick, but it absorbs nicely. The company also do a range of moisturisers for different skin types available at <a href="http://www.orhis.com/">www.orhis.com</a></span></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The second product is another moisturiser, Lilas Blanc, Secret Éclat Jeunesse 50ml RRP £36.50. This is an anti-wrinkle day cream, it contains New Zealand Fern extract along with rose and rosewood essential oils. Also Shea Butter and Jojoba oils which are particularly good for mature skin. The creams is recommended to be used as a day cream. Again the cream has a very natural smell, the texture isn't as thick as i was expecting for anti-ageing cream. Though it is quite thick, it absorbs well and you can really smell the rose in it once its rubbed in. I probably won't use this product myself, but perhaps pass it on to my mum, who might appreciate it a bit more.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Next up there is a Cinq Mondes, Rose Petal Rain Mist, 200ml RRP £28 Its called a softening body beauty lotion on the front of the bottle. The instructions say to spray as a refreshing and moisturising body mist. The spray smells gorgeous, really lovely and floral like actual roses. The only downside is that its slightly sticky, it eventually left my skin quite soft, but the initial stickiness was a bit off putting.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Cosmetoo Nails, Nail Art Kit Express, this contains one packet of pink bow nail stickers, 1 bag of rhinestones and 1 stick of boxwood (or what i call an orange stick) I've not used these at all, so can't really comment on these it looks like a good set though and the RRP is £3.90</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">There was a little extra product in this box, which is Coslys shower gel for sensitive skin made with organic fig, its just a small 12ml sachet so I'll probably throw it in my gym bag as it'll only do 1 wash.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The final full size product is ANOTHER moisturiser, this one is from Benta berry, G-1 Moisturising Face Cream 30ml RRP £12 this is another product but that i probably wont be using myself after reading the back this cream is for an oily skin type. It is a matifying face cream, containing ingredients to regulate excess sebum secretion, It also works to purify the skin and helps reduce redness and imperfections.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">So that's the Betrousse Summer Break box, an alright box i think, ALOT of moisturisers, but some really nice stuff in there and all from brands I've not heard of so its a great discovery box.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I can't wait to try all the stuff out properly.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">And thank you to Shona for holding the giveaway, make sure you go over and check out her blog.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I'm slowly catching up on my missed posts, i have quite a back log of them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">But today, She Said Beauty.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The September box;</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/004.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">PopChips; These are essentially crisps, though they aren't fried or baked. They're popped. They contain less fat and calories than regular fried crisps. They tasted really good, the only downside in the pack you only got literally 5/6 crisps. I think in an actual packet you get a lot more. But for the size of the bag i was expecting at least a couple more. But they were lovely. They also come in Original and Barbecue flavour. I'd really like to try some other flavours.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Ginvera Green Tea Marvel Gel; This is a very gentle exfoliator, it works by dissolving the dry skin rather than sloughing it away with rough particles. This gel literally melts you dead skin away, its a little bit disgusting, but amazing. You apply it to a dry face, and massage it in. As you massage you can actually see your dead/dry skin peeling away. I'm not to keen on the smell, but it leaves my skin feeling so incredibly soft.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">DHC Deep Cleansing Oil; This cleanser comes from Japan, It thoroughly dissolved dirt, oil and cosmetics. Oily cleansers are especially good on waterproof mascara. The other great thing about this cleanser is that it completely rinses away with water. I've not used this cleanser yet, but from what I've read I'm looking forward to trying it out.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Amie Spring Clean Cooling Clay Mask; Is a refreshing deep cleansing mask, that draws out dirt and impurities. It also helps soak up excess oil and prevents blemishes. The mask contains refreshing lime and peppermint,as well as french white clay and natural anti-bacterial Zinc Oxide which helps reduce and clear spots.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">You all know i love my face masks, and although this isn't particularly suited to my skin, I'm definitely going to try it out, as i think the lime and peppermint sound amazing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Collection Primed & Ready Smoothing Makeup Primer; This is a silky smooth make up primer. It helps smooth the appearance of open pores and also any fine lines.The tube is teeny tiny 18ml, if you're just starting out with primers or even make up, it would probably be a good starting product. Collection products are usually reasonably priced and the tube is small enough to not have to commit to much but big enough to have a good ol' test of the product.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Collection Fix Me Up Make Up Fixer; I would compare this to MAC fix +, but i won't. Though the concepts are the same, its a spray to fix your make up, the collection spray smells horrible. MAC fix+ is a delight to use, Collection Fix Me Up. No thanks. Yucky. If you want to try it out, its a small enough bottle, and i suppose it does its job of keeping your make up intact. But its whether or not you can deal with the funny smell?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">September She Said Beauty, some nice 'different' products. I liked the appearance of some crisps, nice little change.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">So I've reached (and passed) 100 followers! And this post coincidentally is my 100th post!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Pretty cool, huh?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Well anyway, i thought I'd have a little giveaway, to say thank you to all my lovely readers and followers.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I cant quite believe I've reached 100 followers especially as I've been the worst blogger over the summer.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I'm hoping now, everything's settled down a bit, I'll be able to start getting back into the swing of thing properly (I've said that a million times but i actually mean it this time! haha)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">So to celebrate this little milestone, i have some goodies for you, from one of my favourite shops. You can probably guess, which one. I've chosen some of my personal favourite products, and also one new product, well new to me, not new to the shop.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">In the goody bag, will be;</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">I've linked Sunny Side & Dragons egg, as I've already done little reviews on them. Lemony flutter I've been using for a while, not as a cuticle cream, but as an intensive foot cream. After i have my cast off (from breaking my leg) I had the most hideously dry feet, and this worked an actual treat! I couldn't recommend this enough, especially if you've had a cast on.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The sugar scrub, is something I'm yet to try, i did buy one for myself while purchasing this lot. The lovely girl in the shop helped me pick this one out, and it sounds like a really great product. She suggested breaking it up into four pieces, to maximise the usage. But she said you can use it all in one go if you want a really hardcore scrub.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And what better way to help carry on the Olympic Spirit, then a whole Nail competition.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The Business of Beauty Stage, which includes seminars on, smooth running of your salon, how to promote your salon using social media and tips on boosting retail sales.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The stage I'm most looking forward to is, The Art of Make Up Stage, i reckon i could stage at this stage all day, There's a seminar from Mariam Jensen of Jemma Kidd Make Up School, Eyebrow queen, Nilam Patel and one seminar I'm particularly looking forward to from Matthew Dowling, 'The Secret To Finding Work In The Makeup Industry'</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #45818e;">The final stage is, Beauty Goes Medical, this stage has seminars on more technical beauty treatments like Medical Tattooing, Plastic Surgery, Laser & Light treatments. Possibly not a stage i'll be to bothered with, but I'll definitely be visiting the Make up & Nails stage, with my note book & pen.</span></span></div>

Though i think i should be more surprised that its already September?! errrm hiya time, wanna slow down a little bit? Thanks.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">This months box, had some interesting bits in. Wanna see?</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/001.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Murad Oil Free Sun Screen; Odd product to send at the the end of the 'summer'. well actually i suppose it isn't, as you are meant to wear sunscreen everyday. Its a very small bottle so, wouldn't be suitable for applying to the body. Its more of a face sample i think. Wearing an SPF everyday helps fight premature ageing. Though its not something i always do, Its at least something to think about.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Immerse Me Face Mask; This sounds like the perfect mask for me 'Immerse me is a salve for face parched and dry' That is my face parched and dry. It goes on to say the mask soaks in in a 'jiffy'. The mask contains Hyaluronic Acid (HA) which hydrates the skin and improves water retention up to 1000 times its own weight. Its a sheet mask, which i much appreciate these days they are low fuss and easy to use. I cant wait to try this out.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">SkinKind Unique Deep Skin Moisturiser; This is a light weight gel/cream moisturiser, its fairly moisturising and can be used on any skin type and as a day or a night cream. The cream smooths in really nicely and is lightly fragranced, the scent reminds me of Nivea creme. The cream consistency feels nice, i look forward to using it.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Betty Hula The Secret Anti Ageing Oil; I've never tried any BettyHula products but, I've heard good things about them. I've not broken the seal on this yet, so i cant even tell you what it smells like. But I'm excited to try it out! and LuxBox have got a great offer, with 60% off until the end of December</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Finally Black & White Genuine Pluko, Hair Dressing Pomade. Not really sure about this, i work in boots and we keep this in the men's section. It also has that mans hair stuff smell. I'm not really sure it'd work in my long hair. Though it does say you can use it to add texture, and that you apply to from the root through the mid-lengths to the ends, so maybe? I don't know. What do you think of this product?</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Overall pretty pleased with this box, plenty of products I'll use and look forward to trying.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">What do you think?</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Lots of Love</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

Its that late, that I've already received this months box! So I've actually got 2 posts to write for LuxBox.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">So July's Box (that i think came in august? i get confused with their box months)</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/005.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Inika Certified Organic Eyeliner; Inika has featured in a few boxes, this is the first eyeliner I've received. I got the gorgeous Peacock blue. Quite a light blue, with a beautiful shimmer. The pencil is so soft and glides on really nicely.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Gatineau Essential Skin Corrector; This cream is a corrective cream, that smooths out the first signs of wrinkles and improves skin radiance. It RRPs at £69/50ml The cream has quite a thick consistency, and is lightly fragranced. It feels as though it'd work well on my dry skin.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Magnifibres Brush on False Lashes; I think this is the product I've been most excited about. Since the Models Co Fibre Lash came out I've been dying to try brush on fibres. I'll do a full blog post on them once I've had a practise and seen what i think of them. This retails for £20</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">BRTC Gold Caviar BB Cream; I'm a bit worried these aren't going to be the right colour, i haven't opened them yet to find out, But this BB cream is made with caviar extract, which helps nourish the skin. It also helps tighten wrinkled and droopy skin.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Yana Cosmetics Foundation; This is a lightweight, fully coverage creamy foundation which is suitable for all skin types. I received shade 6 which is waaaaay to dark for me, I may try and mix it with another foundation to see if i can make it a bit lighter, just so i can try it out. I've tried it on the back of my hand and it blends nicely, and has a very matte finish. Hopefully I'll be able to get it mixed to a more suitable colour and give it a proper try.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">That's July Lux box, overall i am very pleased with it. Apart from the foundation sample being a bit dark, I'll get use out of all the products.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">What did you think of this box?</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

The box contains pre,in and post flight essentials.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">"Consider this your first class box of travelling beauty essentials"</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">everything in the box meets the strict 100ml liquid limits, so you are able to pack all of it in your hand luggage/carry on bag.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Now I'm not planning on flying anywhere soon (well i am, but more on that another day) but i thought this box looked great, it contained products i already love and new products for me to try. Which i think is the perfect mix, sometimes all new products aren't the best boxes.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Have i rambled enough? shall i just show you whats in it? i thought so.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3795.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="576" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3795.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">LIB beauty boxes come in fairly small boxes, and this one contained so many products it was jam packed, it was like a puzzle trying to work out how to fit everything back in when I'd pulled it out!</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3797.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3797.jpg" width="426" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I'll start with this, yes your eyes don't deceive you, it is a FULL SIZE O.P.I polish, yippeee. The colour is 'William Tell Me About It' Its a deep, purple/cherry/red/Burgundy colour. I think deep cherry is a good description. It'll be a great Autumn/Winter colour. A bit dark for 'Summer' i think. I cant wait to wear it, with big wooly jumpers and leggings.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3800.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Jurlique, Rosewater Balancing Mist. This is a hydrating mist to refresh the skin. The leaflet with the box, recommends using this while on the flight, great a idea yeah? I always find flying ruins my skin, it makes it so incredibly dry especially if I'm flying long haul (which isn't very often) I'll loving these refreshing sprays at the moment as well.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3803.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3803.jpg" width="340" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Batiste Dry Shampoo in Cherry. For giving your hair a little refreshment after a long flight. I love the mini cans, I tend to only get the mini cans rather than a large one, purely because i only really use dry shampoo on my fringe so a mini one last me ages. I've had larger cans in the past, but i find i just tend to lose them. I'm loving the cherry scent as well.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3804.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="604" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3804.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">StriVectin-SH Age Protect SPF30, The sun cream has a lovely texture and a pretty pleasant scent. You're supposed to use sunscreen everyday on your face. This is only a 7ml sample, so it wont do much of my body, and as our 'Summer' is slowly fading away I'll probably just end up using this as a moisturiser. What intrigued me most about this little set is the wristband that was included, you're supposed to wear the band on a daily basis, and when it turns blue you are exposed to harmful UV radiation. I haven't yet tried it out. But I'm keen to see how it works.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3806.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3806.jpg" width="426" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Mythic Oil, one of my all time favourite products. This one is different though, its Mythic Oil, Colour Glow Oil Radiance Oil For Colour Treated Hair. It doesn't look or smell any different from regular Mythic Oil and I'm still going to use it even though my hair isn't colour treated. </div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Xen-Tan is a product I've been wanting to try for a long time, I've read so many good things about it. But wasn't sure if i really wanted to commit to a full size product as i don't tan all that often. This is a 30ml sample, how far that will go who knows, hopefully I'll be able to do both my legs with it. Its a weekly self-tan lotion in dark, I tend to go for dark as in the summer i naturally tan very well, and tend to go quite a dark golden colour, if i see enough sunshine!</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Can't wait to try this out, and perhaps get a full size product.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3812.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3812.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">A tin of mints, strange thing to get a beauty box. But i love them! I love cinnamon mints it reminds me of good times in America with my family. I also love the tin they come in, its like something some ones grandad would have. I plan to keep these in my car, as i think the tin is a bit bulky to keep in my handbag. When all the mints are gone, i will find a use for the tin as its just to nice to throw away.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3814.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3814.jpg" width="426" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Alfresco, Beauty Without Bites, Acqua D'Alfresco, is a natural insect repellent, its highly fragranced and smells like something that i just cant put my finger on it, i think its a bit sandal woody or cinnamon-y. It also contains botanical extracts, its pretty strong scented, so i don't really know how good that'll be a deterring the insects? Perhaps if it contained citronella.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3815.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3815.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Garnier BB cream samples. I'm sure if I've told you this before, but i much prefer the sample sachets to the full size product. I have no idea why i just do. I'm slowly getting a bit of a collection of theses now, so i really need to start using them.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">One sachet of powdered Acai Berry, Acai Berries have great nutritional value. you add the sachet to a glass of water to help give your skin a radiance boost from the inside. Acai Berries are full of antioxidants, though I'm sure I've tried them and they don't have the most pleasant flavour?</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">And last but not least, Good to go anywhere, sanitising wipes. This handy pack contains 4 wipes of 3 different varieties. 1 disinfectant wipe, for making surfaces clean and safe 2 soft absorbent tissue, for wiping what ever you need to and 1 sanitising hand wipe, for cleaning your handies. I'm thinking by tissue they possible mean, like a blow your nose on tissue? i was hoping it might be some kind of wet wipe? anyway. its a pretty handy strip to keep in your hand bag or travel bag. I need to investigate where to buy these.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

I've been pretty ruthless, but i think i need to be even more ruthless.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I'm rambling now, basically what I'm trying to say is, the products featured here, aren't all 'empties' some i am simply getting rid of because they are past their best and would be more suited to the bin than on my skin/in my toiletries box/in my make up bag.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3877.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3877.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I'll start with the products i have actually finished...</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
Lavera, Moisturising Cream for dry & mature skin. I love this cream! and if i ever get through my stash of face creams I'll definitly be purchasing this one. It makes my skin feel love, and it has a gorgeous Rosy smell.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">L'Occitane, Divine Cream. I'm still undecided about this cream, i don't love it or hate it. I'm completely on the fence. I think I've got a couple more samples, but i doubt I'd be buying the full size.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Weleda, Wildrose Night Cream. I really enjoyed this cream, it was lovely to put on after a cleansed face before bed. Night creams is something i don't have as much of an abundance of so i may perhaps purchase this full size.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3879.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3879.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Caudalie, SOS Thirst Quenching Serum. I am in love with this. Its actually amazing, i quite often have really dry skin, and my skin absolutely loves this stuff. It feels amazing! I did actually repurchase the full size of this while i was in France. But I'm yet to start it, as i still have 1 sample to use up. Hopefully i wont need to repurchase this for a while.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Melvita, Micellar Water. I was so sad when this finished. I loved the smell, and the product was really good at its job. I used it on a couple of make up clients and they all commented on how nice it smelt and how nice it left their skin. I'd really like to purchase a full size, even if its just to keep in my make up kit. Though i have got a bottle of bioderma to try out. So we shall see.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Soap & Glory, Off Your Face wipes. I don't particularly rate these wipes. I find them to be quite dry and just a bit meh. They don't make my skin feel that clean or cleansed. They aren't something I'd be purchasing again.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3878.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3878.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Lush, Sunnyside Bubble Bar. You can read the product review <a href="http://aliceinwonderland-beautywonderland.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/lush-sunnyside-bubble-bar.html">here</a>. More than likely repurchase this, its got a really uplifting and refreshing citrus scent to it.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Lush, Skin Drink, sample. This little sample pot lasted me ages, it was great. The Skin Drink moisturiser made my skin feel nice, but i wasn't overly keen on the scent, it kind of reminded me of peanut butter or something nutty. It was strange.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3881.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3881.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Boots, Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Face Mask. Bought this on a whim, only cost me 99p a bit meh. Probably won't buy again. Didn't notice much difference in my skin condition. The peel of effect left a funny feeling on my skin aswell.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Carex, Splash Gel. I loooooovee alcohol hand gel. I always have on in my bag, they are so handy and helpful. This one has a really nice clean smell to it. I'm currently addicted to The Body Shop ones, they smell YUMMY!</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Charlie, Touch. Always keep a body spray in my hand bag. Currently have Impulse Love Puzzle in there. This one is ok, i found the scent quite sickly after a while. Its Rose and Vanilla musk, so it's quite nice. But it felt a bit heavy sometimes, for a body spray.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Batiste Dry Shampoo, Blush. I like this brand of dry shampoo, and i like the mini size. I only ever use it on my fringe so don't use it all that much, much prefer the scented ones to the original. currently using cherry, and loving it.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3882.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3882.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Elemantal Herbology, Facial Hydrator & Facial Cleanser. Didn't like either of these, didn't like the smell or anything about them. Blurgh. Won't be purchasing the full size.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3883.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3883.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">SnowBerry, Face Serum, Rich Day Cream & Night Cream. Didn't like any of these, they smelt horrible and make my skin feel sticky and yuuck. I was really hoping i liked these as i really like the packaging.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">The rest of the items, are things I've just decided to get rid of either because they are out of date or they never get used or they've just gone a bit funny.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3884.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3884.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Soap & Glory, The Righteous Butter Lite & Hand Food. Both of these have started to smell a bit off, so i thought it best to bin them. I really like the The Righteous Butter Lite, its more of a lotion consistency so is nice, if the body butter a bit to rich i just use this one, its quick to absorb aswell.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Love the hand cream, leaves my hands lovely and soft and smells amaziiiinnggg.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3885.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3885.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Balance Me, Rose Otto Salve, I don't know if this has gone off or what, but it just doesn't look/smell right, so its getting binned. Its been open a while and has been used for ages. i have about a billion lip balms so wont be buying another.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Badger, Lip & Body Balm. I loved this balm when i got it. But if the best by date is anything to go by it went off in 2010! It was a really good balm when it was new though.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Malibu, Pina Colada Lip Balm. I'm not even going to tell you how long i've had this lip balm. I just love the smell though, its so summery and coconutty. mmmmmmm.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Carmex, Cherry. Possibly my favourite lipbalm EVER. It smells so gooooooddd. I'd prefer it in a stick though, do they make cherry carmex in a stick? I've seen it in a tube. I just love this balm, its one that actually feels like its doing something. and smells and tastes so so so good.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3886.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3886.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Lush Colour Supplement. I didn't get a lot of use out of this, i think because it wasn't quite the right colour. But this went out of date a looooooong time ago, so its finally getting chucked.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Eyeko, Magic liquid Eyeliner. This was just a mixing medium, that you could put with any eyeshadow to make it into an eyeliner, when i first got this i remember it being the best thing since sliced bread. i used it all the time. But I've used it that much its gotten quite grimy and yuck. Its also so old, and hasn't been used in probably at least a year if not a lot longer.I would like to find something similar, though i think water does a similar thing.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">No7 Extreme Length mascara. This used to be my favourite ever mascara, but only in the mini size. I got the full size once and didn't like it as much. But this one has well and truly dried up/been used up.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Rimmel Nail Tip Whitener. I'm binning this because its gone so gluey and gloopy. and the fact a rarely use it.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Collection 2000 & Rimmel eye pencils, way to old to even think about using anywhere near my eyes. Time for the bin.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3887.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/IMG_3887.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Clean & Clear, Skin Brightening Moisturiser. This hasn't gone off, or anything. But there's only a small amount left and, i wont be using it, i completely went off this moisturiser. I love the smell of it, and it was great wake me up smell in the morning, and it made me skin feel lovely. But its so sparkly, and this makes me sad. I don't like my products to have glitter in (well i do, but you know what i mean) This is nice in summer. If they made it without the shimmer, I'd love it.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Boots, Time Delay facial gradual tan. This has definitely gone off. It smells really weird. I didn't really like this product either tbh, which is why there is so much left.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">And that's its for my August Empties. Sorry its such a long post!</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">and i am really going to try and get back into the swing of blogging. I have a bajillion posts lined up for you and lots of excited things happening.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

But here's what i got...</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/harrods.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/harrods.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">The Erno Laszlo samples, I've received in a number of beauty boxes so i shan't talk about them agaaiiiinnn.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Also the Clarins cream i got in my original Harrods box, so you can read about that <a href="http://aliceinwonderland-beautywonderland.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/glossy-box-march-2012.html">here</a>.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">The Remaining three products are the ones i am most excited about, i believe this may have been 'the good box' first time around.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/h7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/h7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/h8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/h8.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">This, Burberry lipstick. Isn't it just beautiful? I believe its in the colour rosewood? I can't lay my hands on it to double check, and I've conveniently unpacked the box already. Everything about it feels so luxurious. The packaging is beautiful and the lipstick itself is even embossed with the Burberry pattern, its a teeny tiny sample. But it is beautiful.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/h6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="538" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg583/MakeUpByAlice/h6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Such a nice perfume, I am completely useless at describing scents. Is anyone good at describing perfume? I shall tell you what it includes, though tbh I'm not sure if that's ever useful? most of the time if i read a list of whats in a perfume I'm like great, no clue what any of that is. But i looooove the smell haha.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><b>Top Notes</b></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">A fresh radiant opening</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">• Lemon petit grain from Sicily</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">• Tangerine from Calabria</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">• Green tea - blackcurrant accord</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><b>Heart Notes:</b></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">A solar floral heart</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">• Broom flower Absolute from Italy</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">• Yellow jasmine accord</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><b>Base Notes:</b></div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">A sensual addictive base</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">• Patchouli from Indonesia</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">• Soft leather accord</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Probably the product I'm most excited about! Ojon Damage Reverse Hair Serum!! YaaY, it was worth ordering the extra box just for this item i think. I'm so excited to try it out, and i am expecting miracles. so *fingers crossed*</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

So the Accessorize sale went to 70% off. Accessorize isn't normally a shop i go in, or not very often any. But as i was in town i thought I'd have a little look. Not one of my best ideas. I've never been one for wearing much jewellery, but i really want to get into wearing a nice necklace or some bracelets. I think it really does finish an outfit off. I envy people who can put pieces together and look great. so I'm going to make a conscious effort from now on, to wear a necklace with every outfit. So, here's my Accessorize stash;</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">So first up <u><b>White Glo Toothpaste; </b></u>This featured in the<a href="http://aliceinwonderland-beautywonderland.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/carmine-february.html"> last ever Carmine box</a>, its Australia's No.1 Whitening toothpaste. I really enjoyed this toothpaste, but never got round to buying the full size. I'm pleased to see this in here, its one of the beauty box products i don't mind receiving again. You can buy White Glo at boots, and it even comes with a toothbrush!</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><u><b>Balance Me, Rose Otto Intensive Lip Salve</b></u>; This again has appeared in another box, one of the <a href="http://aliceinwonderland-beautywonderland.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/latest-in-beauty-refresh-recover.html">Latest in Beauty</a> Boxes contained either the same or very very similar product. I'm undecided whether i will even open this, as i have with no exaggeration about 10million lip balms. I don't really need another one. That and also, I'm starting to go off balance me products a bit, i did love the brand but I'm getting a bit tired of it now. I don't think the products are great as i initially thought. They're starting to not agree with my skin etc. </div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><u><b>Redken, Colour Extend Radiant-10</b></u>; This is a conditioning spray for coloured hair. I don't have coloured hair, so its not much use to me. BUT withing the last week i have been toying with the idea of getting some kind of highlights or something, just to jazz my hair up a little bit. I was planning on giving this to my my mum has she colours her hair. But I have a hair appointment on Wednesday and i shall speak to my hairdresser and she what she thinks about some colour.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><b><u>Papier Poudré, Rachel Powdered Paper</u></b>; These i have received before in a <a href="http://aliceinwonderland-beautywonderland.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/lux-box-may.html">LuxBox</a>. This isn't something i really use, my skin isn't ever excessively oily. Apart from recently, but its gone back to its normal dry ways again. So these i will probably swap or sell or put in a birthday present or something. I like the idea of them, and i love the vintage look of the packaging etc. But they just aren't suited to my skin unfortunately.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><u><b>Nails Inc, Nail Polish</b></u>. Probably my favourite product in the box. A teenie 4ml Nails Inc polish, I got a gorgeous summery pinky/coral colour. It hasn't got a name on it so i cant tell you the shade I'm afraid. There were 4 colours available I would have been happy with any of them! I think the variation of this product was some nail wraps. She Said used to be very good at giving everyone the same box, but recently they've done very slight variations. Which is understandable as they get more subscribers they can't expect one company to provide that many samples. But anyway, my favourite thing in the box Nails Inc Polish.</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">The bonus product this month was a bit of a peculiar one. <u><b>4711, Eau De Cologne</b></u>; My mum wasn't even aware they still made this, and i always assumed it was one of those things your gran/grandad liked? Perhaps they are trying to get a bit more publicity to the brand or perhaps try and make it 'cool' by featuring it in Beauty Boxes, who knows? In the box we got a little 3ml bottle sample. the brand is over 200 years old. Its not a horrible smell at all, its almost pleasant. Its sort of citrus with a hint of something i can't put my finger on. Its like something I've smelt before, but i don't know what. My mum told me my gran would enjoy it, so i might pass it on to her as a little gift. i don't think I'll be using it myself. I think the bottle is really quaint and it totally reminds me of Alice In Wonderland, I can just imagine it being the 'Drink Me' bottle!</div><div style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
