I'm back folks! It's been a long while since I posted on the blog, work was busy and I just didn't have much motivation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sgx____/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> then you'll probably know that I was recently in Mykonos..because I haven't stopped going on about it, and probably won't any time soon either! But before I went I made an order (or three) on <a href="https://www.prettylittlething.com/" target="_blank">Pretty Little Thing</a> and no word of a lie, I was literally obsessed with EVERYTHING.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hadn't ordered anything off their website for a while, but I feel like the quality of their pieces has improved <i>so</i> much that it has literally become my go-to online store (sorry ASOS). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I thought I would share some photos of one of my favourite outfits that I wore. This cute little bralet paired with the most gorgeous paperbag waist shorts were perfect for a warm evening in Mykonos, sipping cocktails and eating <i>far </i>too much food.</div>

This bralet (well, it's technically a bikini top) was one of my favourite finds! As soon as I saw it it went straight in to my basket! It reminded me of the gorgeous Dior bralet that I've lusted after since I first saw it on Victoria from <a href="https://www.inthefrow.com/" target="_blank">InTheFrow</a></div>

Like I said in my previous post, 2018 is the year where I start to take care of myself a bit better. So, alongside my new skincare routine, I figured I better get myself back in the gym and get my diet back on track. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As some of you may know Ryan and I got married in Greece in August last year. In total we were away for a month and it is safe to say I used the gym a whopping <i>TWO</i> times (and I wont lie, they were pretty poor attempts at best). I was too busy focusing on getting the perfect tan, with absolutely <i>NO</i> tan line of course, laughing and exploring with the people I love most and I figured that was okay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, whilst I was away my gym membership at home ran out and when I got back home I started my new job..all of a sudden it was December, I was 1 stone heavier and I still hadn't re-joined a gym..let's just say my jeans were a bit snugger than preferred.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So January's payday came and I couldn't get in the gym quick enough. To be honest I had forgotten how much I loved it. Last week I also started doing Yoga and I'm pretty sure I'm hooked on it already.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But anyway..next up was the scary bit.. getting the diet back on track, and this is where <a href="http://nutribuddy.com/shop/weight-loss/breakfast-shake/" target="_blank">Nutribuddy</a> came in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBlruXT_F0I6vgfBhqbZOrL61aXTxF6f9QqhQG8OWKkPUvQouxtVXSF4YBO0PiCq_ST7u1p4KUYTC5WLXzaDhVf4_eFLYs7nlpcYF9xIAuloyJ7R3WNt-rPKhoXomAJyo9_E_5Of1QL8Q/s1600/HFJU0308.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBlruXT_F0I6vgfBhqbZOrL61aXTxF6f9QqhQG8OWKkPUvQouxtVXSF4YBO0PiCq_ST7u1p4KUYTC5WLXzaDhVf4_eFLYs7nlpcYF9xIAuloyJ7R3WNt-rPKhoXomAJyo9_E_5Of1QL8Q/s1600/HFJU0308.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I figured to get my diet back on track I needed to start having <i>all </i>my daily meals instead of not eating until 3pm and then scoffing my face on rubbish realising how hungry I was. But breakfast isn't always an easy one for me. Most days I have to be in work for 7.15am and I just can't stomach sitting down and eating breakfast that early in the morning.. partly because I don't feel hungry and partly because those 10-15 extra minutes in bed are <i>far</i> too important.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivjPlKV2F7vyxpSjo_KqddnlEzkTZ2J4OBm2pl01KX1NdnBHF8azZeRuAJm6Sd_xJcGyGEI9VZViWQn72EP2kdyI92nEAjprXhlqw_RNdEyLf3Mpc-TSw33Fq4A42ZT880eFhDROwNBNo/s1600/HLTV2751.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1203" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivjPlKV2F7vyxpSjo_KqddnlEzkTZ2J4OBm2pl01KX1NdnBHF8azZeRuAJm6Sd_xJcGyGEI9VZViWQn72EP2kdyI92nEAjprXhlqw_RNdEyLf3Mpc-TSw33Fq4A42ZT880eFhDROwNBNo/s1600/HLTV2751.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://nutribuddy.com/shop/weight-loss/breakfast-shake/" target="_blank">Nutribuddy Breakfast shake</a> is a blend of ground oats, seeds and coconut. It's vegan friendly, gluten free, sugar free and high in fibre, made only with organic and healthy ingredients</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make the shake you simply add 3 scoops of the Breakfast blend and 300 mls of milk (I use unsweetened almond milk) I also add a tablespoon of cacao powder as a source of magnesium, protein and copper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMpVP4J2nMybotCstBQjGQEPq73xGDHvuegvH43od7y5hsBzJcHciFGODJq1PlgiRxTo-4ZWWJP2sTF-G1ljbcLaGzHJtAddEE2f3DJxXI-4LbyKgtWy50yxmoidtTPLHglKR-95BqcVQ/s1600/PNGW9099.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMpVP4J2nMybotCstBQjGQEPq73xGDHvuegvH43od7y5hsBzJcHciFGODJq1PlgiRxTo-4ZWWJP2sTF-G1ljbcLaGzHJtAddEE2f3DJxXI-4LbyKgtWy50yxmoidtTPLHglKR-95BqcVQ/s1600/PNGW9099.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm about half way through my first jar of my <a href="http://nutribuddy.com/shop/weight-loss/breakfast-shake/" target="_blank">Breakfast blend</a> now, and so far I love it! I, <i>of course, </i>went for the Chocolate Brownie flavour which is perfect. It's not too strong a flavour so it isn't too sickly in the morning and it also leaves absolutely NO horrible after-taste like a lot of other shakes do.. but that is probably down to the fact that it doesn't contain <i>any</i> stabilisers, emulsifiers, thickeners or preservatives. Let's put it this way - the ingredients list is a short one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Choclate Brownie Breakfast blend ingredients:</b> <b>Organic Gluten-free Oats, Organic Flaxseeds, Organic Chia Seeds, Organic Desicated Coconut, Organic Cocoa Powder and Stevia </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkU7FdnmI_Y_AozCefpASgHz1J04iaQ512o4q8VkaMIBMBft57PtZJ33_jDwqrr0Q8PFfvbLLDQyoP-zBolqJIGbGE0lWXuDn-s2oNpRzzLYFf3JZ5EnbtOFE7gDyRr4QOzXh2stDfy2M/s1600/RTCC2982.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1203" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkU7FdnmI_Y_AozCefpASgHz1J04iaQ512o4q8VkaMIBMBft57PtZJ33_jDwqrr0Q8PFfvbLLDQyoP-zBolqJIGbGE0lWXuDn-s2oNpRzzLYFf3JZ5EnbtOFE7gDyRr4QOzXh2stDfy2M/s1600/RTCC2982.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will check back in at the end of my first two weeks, but I'm pretty sure I've made up my mind about this product already.. now I just need to order more before this jar runs out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

If you're anything like me, then you've probably made a promise to yourself that this year, you're going to <i>really</i> start taking care of your skin. It's something that I say to myself all the time, but to be quite honest I find myself just reaching for a face wipe or micellar water more often than I'd like to admit and calling it a day, without a blob of moisturiser in sight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily, with my new years resolution in mind, I was very kindly sent a box of Dermalogica products from Influenster to try out. The box included a Pre Cleanse Balm, Cleansing Gel, the new Daily Superfoliant and finally their Skin Smoothing Cream. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dermalogica is a brand that I always associate with being at the spa, so although I've never owned any of their products before, I was pretty excited to try them out</div>

First in the routine is the Pre Cleanse balm, which is honestly a game changer in itself! I've never used a balm before but I <i>love</i> this<i> </i>product and it's definitely my favourite out of all the products. I've always liked using oil based products on my skin, and this balm does an amazing job a getting the bulk of my makeup off before the next steps. Oh, and I can't not mention the smell, it literally does smell like you're at the spa, which is always a welcome thing!</div>

Next in the routine in the Special Cleansing gel, again this product is so nice, it lathers up nicely and helps to get rid of any remaining makeup left over from the first step </div>

This next step includes one of Dermalogica's newest products, the Daily Superfoliant. This product contains active charcoal, red algae and tara fruit extract to help purify your skin and it also claims to absorb environmental toxins from within your pores which are known to age your skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The product comes in powder form, and once you mix it with water in your hands it turns into a paste which you then apply in circular motions onto your skin. It's a really nice gentle exfoliant and it leaves my skin feeling so smooth and ready for the final step</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly is the Skin Smoothing Cream. This is a lovely thick cream which is perfect for leaving on overnight to soak in to your skin. Like the rest of the products it smells lovely, but isn't to heavily perfumed so it doesn't aggravate my skin at all. In the morning my skin honestly feels so soft and hydrated. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been using these products for a little over a week now and I absolutely love them, they have such a luxurious feel to them that the whole process has become part of a routine which I love. I think it's important that this year we remember to take a few extra minutes to focus and take care of ourselves, whether that's with skin care, reading or running a bath to just relax.. it's the little things that make a difference</div>

I don't know about you guys but now that March is here I'm starting to get <i>sooo </i>excited for spring!</div>

With all the beautiful spring/summer pieces starting to sneak their way in to the shops it's the perfect time to start buying for the season that is (hopefully) just around the corner!</div>

First of all, I was so surprised at the size of the bag, it can literally fit<i><b> everything</b></i> in, including my camera without even looking bulky. Second of all is the quality of the bag, it's a gorgeous soft faux suede and the silver hard wear and detailing is stunning!</div>

I was recently sent some false eyelashes to review from the lovely people at <span style="color: black;"><b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/threadsbeautyco/" target="_blank">Threads Beauty</a></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Since these 3 sets of lashes are so different you can create a range of different eye looks with them and there will be a pair for you whether you prefer to create a more natural look or a dramatic look</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have quite a similar finish to the Be-Bop lashes but they are thicker near the band which creates a perfect fluttery, but still quite natural look</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And finally are the Angel Eyes lashes, these are much thicker and are perfect for creating a more dramatic look. As they are thicker the band is also slightly thicker so having liquid eyeliner on for these ones is a must (unless you're an absolute pro<i><b> or</b></i> a wizard)</div>

<span style="color: black;">Overall I'm really impressed with these lashes, there are lots of different styles to choose from which means you can create whichever eye look you're after. The adhesive glue that comes with them is great too, personally it reminded me of the Duo Lash glue which is one of my favourites as it's so long lasting! The lash bands are quite long so you can cut them to fit should you wish. I applied the lashes wearing liquid eyeliner because I always wear eyeliner if I'm wearing falsies - I just haven't mastered putting them on without eyeliner yet, I swear it's impossible?!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last month I was walking through New Look when I noticed that our store had started to stock the revamped New Look beauty range so, of course, I got ridiculously excited. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to pick up the <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/beauty/4-pack-oval-brush-set_502633690" target="_blank">4 Pack Oval Brush Set</a>. A</span>fter seeing similar brushes being raved about by a whole bunch of beauty bloggers and knowing that these brushes can be<i> preeeetty </i>expensive I was suprised to find out that this set of 4 cost only £19.99! Basically, it would have been rude not to try them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also picked up two of the stick foundations in the shades<a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/beauty/natural-beige-flawless-foundation-and-contour-stick_390891824" target="_blank"> Natural Beige</a> and <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/beauty/natural-tan-flawless-foundation-and-contour-stick_390891827" target="_blank">Chocolate</a>. I had been wanting to try a stick foundation and with these costing just £4.99 I thought I'd give them a try. The Natural Beige shade is perfect for my skin tone and I picked up the Chocolate shade to try as a cream contour </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimbe_kDmbJi8Hp42PAA3HRKAXl-6VahOXyO3jpQ-nirepYtkQ3uPD3zyG-A926fJYttb3VicaYxrxLXRtdM-r6xQt1IQXWvJKp2GQNebV1m1LDxGaif1m0MxTxDWhDNarhthB-cBVJhvM/s1600/1+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimbe_kDmbJi8Hp42PAA3HRKAXl-6VahOXyO3jpQ-nirepYtkQ3uPD3zyG-A926fJYttb3VicaYxrxLXRtdM-r6xQt1IQXWvJKp2GQNebV1m1LDxGaif1m0MxTxDWhDNarhthB-cBVJhvM/s1600/1+2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Oval Brush Set contains a large foundation brush, a bronzer/blusher brush, a contour brush and a concealer brush. I love the style of them with the black handle and silver hardware, personally I think they look a lot more expensive than they are. My only fault would be that the handle is a little flimsy, but I tend to automatically hold the oval rather than the brush anyway as I find it a more comfortable and easy way to control the application of foundation.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been wearing the <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/beauty/natural-tan-flawless-foundation-and-contour-stick_390891827" target="_blank">stick foundation</a> for over a month now so that I could do a proper review and.. I absolutely love it! For me, it's the perfect everyday foundation, the product is <i>really</i> creamy and so application is nice and easy which is great (especially for those early mornings before work when you try to do your makeup with your eyes half shut!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh1bL6t6K5P8QsPtCp8MAm0NGeVuQhuurPTGqKSZLLRyC35S5SeJhNs5P0GXcBLLm7KC_cpvWfLWktj_9n4K1XjDo-vXydqboeMVedpm8p9esNVnBJ-5gTiGEMoNx2Vy1ISih0F7Nnkig/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh1bL6t6K5P8QsPtCp8MAm0NGeVuQhuurPTGqKSZLLRyC35S5SeJhNs5P0GXcBLLm7KC_cpvWfLWktj_9n4K1XjDo-vXydqboeMVedpm8p9esNVnBJ-5gTiGEMoNx2Vy1ISih0F7Nnkig/s1600/3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Chocolate shade I was using to cream contour is also really impressive! It's the perfect shade for my skin tone and again blends really nicely into the foundation so you don't end up with any harsh lines. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been applying the foundation and contour with the foundation brush and the contour brush from the set and it leaves a really even finish on the skin which you can see below</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfgVOo91ATPl8M2C6SNMJlbjyWUu4Ht3gq9FW6BWTU95xexKEH2GMEAmgaFfzPVIjHPQiQQgdx_gYap6biVyQgr4moiPfGVj2U2tGrRO1m_hK_cQRuGDrYoNOlOz9NQ1T8by3uxOLCWLU/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfgVOo91ATPl8M2C6SNMJlbjyWUu4Ht3gq9FW6BWTU95xexKEH2GMEAmgaFfzPVIjHPQiQQgdx_gYap6biVyQgr4moiPfGVj2U2tGrRO1m_hK_cQRuGDrYoNOlOz9NQ1T8by3uxOLCWLU/s1600/4.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I've been really impressed with the New Look beauty products that I have tried so far. The brushes are super soft and apply the foundation really well without eating up all the product. PLUS (big plus) none of the hairs in the brush fall out, which is what I was expecting given the price of the set! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The foundation sticks were also amazing, they leave you with a medium coverage which you can build up and have an in between finish, not super glowy but not really matte either. It also has pretty good staying power and lasts for most of the day without going patchy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only thing I would suggest is using a powder to set and lock in the foundation (or a setting spray) as I did find it transferred on to my hand if I touched my face</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will definitely be picking up more products from the range soon as I have been pleasantly surprised with these ones! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you tried any products from the latest New Look beauty range yet?</div>

<a href="https://colourpop.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">ColourPop Cosmetics</span></a> was one of those brands I had been wanting to try for a long time! When they advertised that they were doing free international shipping (which is available for the rest of this year!) I couldn't help but treat myself to some of their products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With there being <i>sooo</i> much to choose from I headed over to YouTube to see what people recommended and soon enough my basket was filled up.. it was all too easy! I ended up picking 4 of the Ultra Matte liquid lipsticks, 1 of the Lippie stix, 3 Super Shock Shadows, a Super Shock Sheen highlighter and an eyebrow pencil (which I forgot to photo..oops)</div>

When I first swatched these I wasn't sure what to expect. Although they're hyped about <i>A LOT</i> across the beauty blogger realm, I was a little sceptic purely because of the price point which is just $6.00 each! But there is a very good reason why people have been shouting from the rooftops about these, because they really are amazing. The colour pay off is perfect, they do not go streaky and they do not budge - trust me, I literally had to scrub my arm with all sorts and it still left a mark!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another great thing about the Ultra Matte Lips is that they aren't too drying and they don't crumble or transfer at all. Basically they are an all around great product and I think I need more..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next is the <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/lumiere" target="_blank">Lippie Stix pen</a>, you can see in the picture above how amazing colour is, and this product is so creamy and easy to apply. The colour lasts well but it does transfer a little when eating/drinking, but that isn't something that bothers me, especially when the <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/lumiere" target="_blank">Lippie Stix</a> sell for just $5.00!</div>

Next we have the eyeshadows. Seeing as I don't wear eyeshadow that often (it's definitely something I need to practice!) I went for some safe colours - ones that I figured would make me look less like I'd been punched in the face</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again the colour pay off is incredible with these little beauties, the texture is so creamy and they're really easy to work with as they blend like a dream!</div>

From top to bottom is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>1. <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/la-la-2" target="_blank">LaLa</a></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again these eyeshadows are just $5.00 each but you can also buy them in sets (and there are some really amazing ones!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The same can be said for the <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/butterfly-beach" target="_blank">highlight</a>. I went for something with a gold undertone as I didn't have one like this yet, and I'm definitely glad that I did. This one is called <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/butterfly-beach" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Butterfly Beach</span></a>, it's quite subtle as it isn't filled with glitter so it's definitely something that you can wear day to day but you can also build it up by adding a powder highlight over the top!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally I tried out the eyebrow pencil in the shade <a href="https://colourpop.com/collections/brows/products/dope-taupe-pencil" target="_blank">Taupe</a>. It's a retractable pencil with a spoolie at the other end which is always a winner! I picked this up for when I'm at work - I love my ABH Dipbrow Pomade but it's a little much for work!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you tried any products from ColourPop yet? I think I might need to pick up a few more products, I've got my eyes on the <a href="https://colourpop.com/collections/ultra-matte-lip/products/just-peachy#" target="_blank">Just Peachy Ultra Matte Lip set</a>!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Earlier this week I received a little parcel from <a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/" target="_blank"><b>Dr PawPaw</b></a> containing three of their <a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/store/1-of-each/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Multipurpose Soothing Balms</a>. Having used the original lip balm in the past I was super happy to receive these as this stuff is literally a lip <i>saviour</i>! If you're like me and suffer from chapped lips in the autumn and winter months then I would seriously recommend that you try these!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a multipurpose balm you can also use it on any dry patches of skin - it is enriched with Vitamins A, B, C and E which work to provide intense hydration and repair damaged skin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As well as the <b><a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/store/dr-pawpaw-original-balm/" target="_blank">original balm</a>, </b>you can now also get the <a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/store/dr-pawpaw-tinted-peach-pink-balm-2/" target="_blank"><b>Peach Pink Tinted Balm</b></a> as well as the <b><a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/store/dr-pawpaw-tinted-ultimate-red-balm/" target="_blank">Ultimate Red Tint</a>. </b>I have tried out both of the tinted balms since I received them and they both give you a subtle colour and the formula is still the same as the original balm </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ingredients in the Dr PawPaw soothing balms are simple and consist of just Carica Papaya, Aloe Vera, Olive oil and Petrolium jelly. They are paraben free and they are <b>not tested on animals! </b></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Recently L'Oreal Paris added some new products to their Elnett range including a new <b>Heat Protect Styling Spray</b> and the new <b>Creme de Mousse</b><span style="background-color: white;">.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> The <b>Creme de Mousse </b>product is</span><span style="background-color: white;"> available in 3 different formulas, and after watching Victoria's (<a href="http://www.inthefrow.com/" target="_blank">InTheFrow</a>) YouTube video on how to achieve big bouncy curls (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJjJhDqgZTM" target="_blank">you can watch her tutorial here</a>),</span><span style="background-color: white;"> I just had to get my hands on the <b>Volume and Strong Hold Mousse.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Both the new products come in the classic Elnett Gold packaging which I think looks beautiful especially considering the price of the products!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have used heat on my hair since I was around 12 years old to try and tame the curls which I hated when I was younger, as lovely and thick as it looks when it is curly, as soon as I straighten it, it turns lifeless and about as flat as a pancake. Most volumizing products I have tried seem to work when they're first applied but then shortly afterwards my hair is back to its flat ways, so I thought I would put the Creme de Mousse to the test!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Ever start painting your nails and forget to do the second hand?...yep!)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I usually leave my hair until it's almost dry before quickly finishing it with the hair dryer, just because the less heat the better! So before blow drying it I applied the mousse to the roots roughly, I added a bit at a time just to make sure I didn't go overboard! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then I whacked my head upside down and blow dried for a few minutes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The product felt really lightweight and it smells lovely</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAP8-Ik11RgMzee7o-xRVbvyjGfMtJEfCHS8fGxL8Nd44ogsMXqQmWM_utt3LgCxK6FXkykUztFdFT56ikzqifU6bFhfLqkAISSNmuVnfgZfPXubepWXs76vzxQca__-83X1qi9XmHsms/s1600/h4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAP8-Ik11RgMzee7o-xRVbvyjGfMtJEfCHS8fGxL8Nd44ogsMXqQmWM_utt3LgCxK6FXkykUztFdFT56ikzqifU6bFhfLqkAISSNmuVnfgZfPXubepWXs76vzxQca__-83X1qi9XmHsms/s1600/h4.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I know I don't have a picture of what my hair would usually be like at this point but trust me, it felt and looked a lot thicker than my normal post blow dried hair! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another really good thing I noticed is that my hair still felt clean! I didn't feel full of product or sticky at all so I was really impressed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then I picked up the <b>Heat Protect Styling Spray</b>, again there are a few different formulas but I picked up the one that claims to be Ideal for Straighteners which apparently protects up to 230 degrees C! I sprayed this just through the ends of my hair and brushed it through before applying heat</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-nAekBnIYHZHdj3J0ubRvtMmlt4ef5ylHWQzFQfcFcljrskM3O3Jz09gULIHc1DxjPHIKZjrkbTv0QFkNQbbGJ188WFRmKtg8eAI_0EAHpMtY_1zh7_SdnAh5BCvOqVmnxl-t7lP3ci8/s1600/h5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-nAekBnIYHZHdj3J0ubRvtMmlt4ef5ylHWQzFQfcFcljrskM3O3Jz09gULIHc1DxjPHIKZjrkbTv0QFkNQbbGJ188WFRmKtg8eAI_0EAHpMtY_1zh7_SdnAh5BCvOqVmnxl-t7lP3ci8/s1600/h5.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Again this spray smelt really nice and didn't leave my hair feeling full of product</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4_mmVXX9aFIH9T7J8uR9zPJ8IdEfypZdv8kGW_iLk_XhAY7RnKPebOuk3gmAAQT-q6FBa1xm83k1v0Svh8f3cnR7d23P2BE675YQumBl__sQnTcAhoNGBLtBR50af7YMHAm77DXEsaHg/s1600/h6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4_mmVXX9aFIH9T7J8uR9zPJ8IdEfypZdv8kGW_iLk_XhAY7RnKPebOuk3gmAAQT-q6FBa1xm83k1v0Svh8f3cnR7d23P2BE675YQumBl__sQnTcAhoNGBLtBR50af7YMHAm77DXEsaHg/s1600/h6.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is the finished look, it might not look overly voluminous to some, but my hair feels and looks so much thicker than it normally does and it actually lasts which is more than I can say for most volumizing products that I have tried in the past! For a product that only costs £5.99 you really can't go wrong and I would definitely recommend it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

So I know summer is over but I though I would share with you my favourite LBBD. This little beauty is from Boohoo, and it's been a go-to beach dress for me this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the beautiful things about living in Jersey is that you are never far from a beach and that means, you can never own too many beach dresses/cover ups!</div>

So we all know that Autumn/Winter is fast approaching, and if you're anything like me this isn't a time that I find exciting whatsoever - I'm a summer girl. When I see people getting excited about wearing jumpers and getting under a blanket to watch a film with a hot chocolate I just don't get it - I'd much rather be watching a film in a big baggy tee with a pint of ice-cream, or better yet down the beach waiting for the sunset.<br />
<br />
That being said, I love any excuse to add new seasonal pieces to my wardrobe so I decided to put together 3 different outfits for Autumn to share with you - day time/ casual, dinner date and a night out!<br />
There's a mixture of high street and designer items (not that I can afford a designer label but I got carried away on Polyvore.. if only money grew on trees) but I will include cheaper alternatives in the shop links at the bottom of each outfit!<br />
<br />

Balenciaga Race Runners have been at the top of my wishlist for quite a while now, and that is where they will probably stay thanks to the somewhat hefty price tag! They're a sports luxe dream though right?!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It dawned on me the other day that I very rarely pick anything but nudes when it comes to choosing my lip colour - and there are still so many more nudes on my wishlist! I love every shade of nude whether its a cooler pink tone to warm brown tones, there is something for every occasion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I always opt for a nude colour as it makes me feel put together but not OTT, I just don't have the confidence to try and pull off a lovely bright or dark colour on a daily basis.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below I have swatched some of my favourite nudes from NYX and MAC</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgbq1IYztY7lA79mF9e6_osIWWi_8esWM7DUY12aWrofSbA8uoIgeOW7BheaofABPAzZ-vPYrEX6tO71vm53vYmFUrRw1k5VqyB6GsF4Y6KhPySszZ19ScLSgmaoE4roMyEU8XTbf4yGc/s1600/IMG_1294.1jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgbq1IYztY7lA79mF9e6_osIWWi_8esWM7DUY12aWrofSbA8uoIgeOW7BheaofABPAzZ-vPYrEX6tO71vm53vYmFUrRw1k5VqyB6GsF4Y6KhPySszZ19ScLSgmaoE4roMyEU8XTbf4yGc/s1600/IMG_1294.1jpg.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">From top to bottom:</u> NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams in Abu Dhabi and Cannes followed by MAC's Honey Love, Yash, Faux and Spirit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The moment I first tried out the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams I literally fell in love. The formula is creamy, the shades I have tried apply without streaking and they don't dry out your lips like a lot of liquid to matte formula's can do. The longevity isn't too bad either, you do need to top up after eating and drinking but for a product of it's price line I think this isn't bad at all. Boots in Jersey recently installed a NYX counter so my collection of these will definitely be growing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for MAC they really do have an amazing collection of nudes - to the point where it's actually quite difficult to pick which one to for when you're at the counter! I love these matte lipsticks, again they are quite creamy but I do find the formula is slightly different depending on what colour you go for, so some do dry out a little after a while. Again they need to be topped up after food or drink but this isn't something that really bothers me at all, I actually quite enjoy nipping to the bathroom and topping up my lipstick!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thing I love about nudes is that you can completely transform the colour by putting a different lip liner with them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The two NYX Lip Liners above are in Nude and Natural, they are retractable liners which I love because I'm forever loosing my sharpener, plus if you take it out in your handbag you don't need to worry about the pencil snapping leaving you with a blunt liner! Out of these two lip liners the 'Nude' shade has a pink undertone and the 'Natural' shade has a more brown undertone. The formula is creamy so they are really easy to apply - they actually feel more like a lipstick formula than your typical pencil formula and the colour pay off is really good</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below are my three go to MAC Lip Pencils in Oak, Spice and Boldly Bare, I find you can really pair these up with any of the MAC nude lipsticks and create a different look every time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oak has a lovely cool brown tone and can be built up whereas Spice is a deep warm brown and is really pigmented so again you can adjust how you want it to look. Finally I have Boldly Bare, probably my favourite Lip Pencil of all time, I love the shade of this and actually wear it by itself a lot of the time! Boldly Bare has more of a pink undertone and it's so versatile, if I could recommend only one, it would be this one! <b>(Swatches below!)</b></div>

I was washing my hair the other day thinking about how much I love the shampoo and conditioner I've been using when I suddenly thought... People <i><b>NEED</b></i> to know about these products, that's when I figured I would write a post about my favourite things from August.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seeing as the hair products gave me the idea it's only fair that I start with them so here we go!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1.</b> <b>Garnier's Ultimate Blends in 'Honey Tressure'. </b><br />
I've been using both the shampoo and conditioner for a few months and I've re-purchased it every time, it just leaves your hair feeling so soft and super shiny!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In August I went to Croatia for 2 weeks so my hair and I spent a lot of time in the sun and in the sea, by the end of each day my hair would feel like straw and after spending hours in a messy bun it would also be full of knots, to the point where I would dread trying to get a brush through it. As much as my hair seemed to hate me for all of this, the Garnier Ultimate Blends shampoo and conditioner literally worked miracles. The products are aimed at dry and damaged hair and claims to strengthen, nourish and protect and I can definitely say it didn't let me down!</div>

The Strength Restorer Balm is a lovely thick conditioner which can also be used as a mask, when we arrived home after our holiday I left this in my hair over night and my hair had honestly never felt so soft and smooth the next day!</div>

Yash by MAC has quickly become my <i>go to</i> lipstick since picking it up at the end of July. It's a matte nude with a brown undertone and I am literally obsessed with the shade. Although it's a matte shade it is still quite creamy when you apply it so it doesn't dry out your lips or become cracked.. what more can you ask for?! </div>

I picked this beauty up in Duty Free at Gatwick Airport whilst waiting for our flight to Croatia, I'd been eyeing them up for a while so I decided to take the plunge and I'm so glad I did! I wanted something with a pinky/purple shade that I could wear in the day time to keep my lips hydrated but also give me some colour and this shade did exactly that.</div>

The Rouge Volupte Shine range is all beautiful and now I definitely want to get my hands on some more, they are a more pricey product but it's also a great quality product.</div>

I was pretty terrified when I first saw the colour of the contour shade but after you blend it over your foundation it leaves you with the perfect contour or you can use it as a bronzer if you want a warmer tone to your face. It comes in a variety of shades as well so I'd recommend giving this a try seeing as it cost only £9.00!</div>

There's not an awful lot to say about this bag but I just can't put it down, it has been coming everywhere with me and even though it's small I seem to be able to get so much inside it! How had I never realised how convenient back packs where? It's a total game changer! I picked up this one from New Look for just £17.99!</div>

Holiday's are the perfect time to throw on a white dress and show off your tan, one evening we went for a walk around the harbour to find a nice little seafood tavern where we could stop for dinner (and wine).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After recently ruining one of my favourite dresses I was lucky enough to replace it before I left for Croatia with this little white dress from AX Paris! I teamed it with my New Look backpack and a pair of flip-flops to give it a more relaxed/casual vibe, grabbed my sunnies and we were ready to go!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was browsing the internet at some crazy hour in the night when I found myself clicking on this little UV lamp for gel nails.. being so small and from a shop on eBay it only cost around £8.00. Now I love going and getting my nails done and having a bit of a pamper, but unfortunately there is no such thing as a reasonably priced nail bar in Jersey (prices of gels range from £25 - £40+.. god help you and your bank balance if you want gel extensions or acrylics!) With this in mind, I thought why not give it a try. at least if it didn't work I wasn't going to be loosing a lot of money.. so into my basket it went. I figured before I paid I'd better check out the price of the gel polish, I was pleasantly surprised and ordered both the base and top coat for around £3.00 each. Then it came to choosing which colour I wanted, and we all know that this can be a long process, especially when you're faced with 70+ colours.. in the end I decided I would buy a gel colour from Boots, that way I could see what the colour was actually like in person (even though it cost a little more). I picked up the Rose Gold Glitter polish from Sensationail as well as their Gel Polish Remover and the Remover Tool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I knew I wasn't going to get that 'salon quality finish' especially after paying for a cheap UV lamp, base and top coat, but I was looking forward to the experiment and it is safe to say I am pretty pleased with the outcome! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you would like to know how they turned out or how you can achieve this at home then please keep reading :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u> Step 1:</u> </b>First of all I had to remove the gels that were already on my nails (please don't judge..I had been drunken picking at them the night before)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simply get yourself 10 pieces of cotton wool and 10 pieces of tinfoil </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soak each piece of cotton wool and pop it over the nail, then grab a piece of tinfoil and wrap it around the top - this makes sure that the gel remover stays in place as you have to leave it for around 10 minutes, and the heat also helps with the removal!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh.. and if you are doing it yourself then it's best to do one hand at a time!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step 2:</u> After 10 minutes remove the first cotton pad to see if the gel is ready to come off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using a remover tool like this one is better for your nails so it is definitely worth the purchase! (I can say this from experience after trying to remove gels a while back and butchering my nails after using a wooden stick. It was quite tragic)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place it at the bottom of the nail with a little pressure and the gel polish should come off nice and easily </div>

It is probably a good idea to put something on those poor dry, sad nails here.. but I didn't have anything. Nail technicians would be horrified by this I'm sure buuuut never mind</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step 3:</u> Apply a <i>thin </i>layer of the base coat to the nails and whack them under the UV lamp</div>

I had to do this a fair few times (I half expected this from buying such a cheap lamp, luckily for me I had no plans for the rest of the evening so time didn't matter too much!) and even then they didn't feel quite dry and had a sticky feeling to them..I gave up trying to get them any drier and moved on!</div>

As before with the base coat, I had put these under the lamp a number of times and I won't lie, it was getting a bit boring. After the first coat of colour I started to think that maybe I had picked the wrong one, but I powered on</div>

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

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

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

I think it's safe to say the UV lamp isn't great, I wouldn't recommend this particular one..unless you're on a budget and don't mind waiting what feels like <i><b>forever</b></i> for them to dry! Also it got really hot after a while, so whatever you do, <b>do not leave it plugged in even if the light is not on!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The base coat, top coat and gel polish I was really happy with and I will definitely be buying some more colours from Sensationail. I was also really happy with the Sensationail Gel Polish Remover, as well as the acetate it contains some oils and vitamins and it had a much less offensive smell than acetate by itself! The remover tool was also great and I didn't feel as though I was completely ruining my nails which is always a good thing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far I am really pleased with the finished look..now to see how well they last! I will do an update over on IG (@SGX____) to let you know if they stand the test of time</div>

Next month I am heading to Croatia for 2 weeks of sun, so of course I started premature bikini shopping like a crazed woman about 4 months too early.. It's an obsession, I can't help it (and I don't think I really want to either!)</div>

I am slightly makeup obsessed, so when the L'Oreal Nude Magique Cushion foundation started popping up all over Instagram I knew I had to get my hands on it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cushion foundations have been hugely popular in Asia and now drug store brands like L'oreal have created their own version of this product. Essentially this is a liquid foundation which is cleverly stored in the cushion. It also comes with an applicator sponge/pad making it the perfect compact foundation for on-the-go and everyday makeup. </div>

I picked up both the Foundation (<i>in no. 7)</i> and the Glam Bronze Cushion De Soleil. When you open the compact there in another cap which both covers the foundation product and holds the applicator</div>

To apply the product you simply press the applicator down on the sponge (I still tend to use my stippling brush as it is what I use to apply all foundations) and buff the product in to the skin. The foundation promises a dewy finish, which I love especially through the spring/summer months, and it also allows for a buildable coverage </div>

The foundation and bronzer both lasted really well on the skin and the bronzer looked exactly the same hours later, where I usually find other bronzers go quite patchy after a while. I also love how the bronzer worked so well as a contour, it was the perfect shade and blended seamlessly with the foundation. Both of the products will be retailing at £14.99 but can be picked up in boots at the introductory offer price of £9.99. I would highly recommend both of these products if you like a dewy/glowing look and I will definitely be carrying these around all summer!</div>

Spring/Summer is literally my favourite time of year, I always get ridiculously excited about it especially when it comes to buying new clothes and bikinis. I picked up a few bits recently and figured I'd throw them into a mini haul (please bare with my iPod camera quality..I'm too poor to buy a decent camera at the minute)</div>

Next is this gorgeous shoulder bag from Mango, it's the perfect addition to give some colour to a plain outfit with the royal blue and silver hardware not to mention the fact that it was an absolute bargain! Mango is one of my all time favourite high street shops and we're lucky enough to have a <i>tiiiiiiny</i> Mango section here in Jersey... better than not having it at all though I suppose!</div>

This gorgeous off the shoulder dress in also from Mango. I'm not usually a red wearing person but I just fell in love with this dress and again, such a bargain. I would warn you though, <b>DON'T</b> buy it through ASOS.. for some reason they're selling it for £35.99 when on the Mango website it is retailed at £19.99! Does anyone know why ASOS do this on some items? </div>

Last but certainly not least are these sandals by Faith from ASOS. They'd been sitting in my basket for a while so I decided to take the plunge. My friends will probably be overjoyed that I am finally throwing my gold sandals away that I have been wearing for the past 6 years (some of them have been on a me to do this for a few years now).. it will probably bring be to tears. On the plus side these beauties make me an extra 2 inches taller.. <i>WINNING!</i></div>

We all know about the Celine sunglasses<i> </i>which took the blogger world by storm over the past year. If you're like me those glasses were just one of the many things being added on to my ever growing wish list of items which I will probably never get the chance to own. Needless to say, when I was scrolling through Missguided earlier this week and saw the perfect dupes it was literally a case of "<i>that's going straight in my basket", </i>before very quickly going through the checkout juuuuust in case they sold out before I finished browsing the website<i>...</i> you never know!</div>

Having fallen in love with the strobing and highlighting trend I thought I better treat myself to a nice highlighter in time for the summer. Initially I was torn between buying one of the highlighters from Becca Cosmetics or one from the Anastasia Beverly Hills range - both had been raved about across the beauty bloggosphere, making my decision that bit harder! In the end I talked myself into the Becca Cosmetics highlighter in <i>'Opal'</i>. The product wasn't cheap, and to be honest after excitedly whizzing through the checkout I had a little bit of a panic when I realised how much I had just spent on a highlighter - I'm a student after all! I had also convinced myself that not one of my many make-up brushes would be adequate enough to apply this highlighter, and so I also bought the Morphe E33 fan brush! Oh the things we can talk ourselves into buying!</div>

The Opal highighter is the perfect shade and gives you that summer dewy glow. It's definitely best to apply the highlight straight onto foundation rather than powder, it blends so much nicer this way. I used the Morphe E33 brush to apply the product and just a little bit goes a really long way - I was super impressed! The fan brush applied the product so nicely, so my guilt about spending so much on this product is no longer haunting me and it's safe to say I will be glowing all summer long!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both of these products were bought online from www.cultbeauty.com and arrived within 2 days! If you live in Jersey or one of the other Channel Islands you will know that NO post ever arrives before 5 working days (I know..it's like a horror story) so I was really really impressed with the service and will definitely buy from them again!</div>

A little bit about me.. My name is Stacey, I'm 24 and I have the pleasure of living in beautiful Jersey in the Channel Islands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be honest this blog was born due to the encouragement of both my fiancé and close friends. I've always <i>always</i> been in to fashion and make-up, and for as long as I can remember I've been following fashion blogs and watching youtubers do their thing. As much as I always thought 'I'd love to do that', I was also too nervous to start..until now. I recently realised that it doesn't matter what other people think, on this blog I get to share outfits and products that I love, as well as documenting holidays and parts of life that I can look back on in years to come. </div>
