<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I was delighted to be asked
to write for Rani’s excellent blog and grateful to be offered the opportunity
to tell you all about </span><a href="http://www.beautydespitecancer.co.uk/"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">BeautyDespiteCancer</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">, the website dedicated to helping women maintain their appearance
throughout treatment for cancer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">At the moment the site is
mainly a shop for Defiant Beauty products, a skincare collection formulated for
‘chemo skin’. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In a few weeks the site will
offer more products, a Defiant Beauty Hair Care range, cosmetics and self-tan,
all created for cancer patients to use as they go through treatment. The
changes are not just restricted to the products on offer – the site will become
an online magazine with a team of about 30 writers, all experts in their fields
and all providing information to help cancer patients maintain their appearance
as they go through treatment. The magazine will also cover other subjects of interest to the cancer community such as insurance, finances,
well-being and exercise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Chemo and radiotherapy can
damage skin as well as nail and hair growth. Prior to Defiant Beauty there were
no UK skin care products developed specifically for </span><a href="http://www.beautydespitecancer.co.uk/landing-pages/chemo-skin"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">chemo skin</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">*.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Many ladies undergoing
chemotherapy found themselves unable to tolerate brands that they had
previously enjoyed as there skin was now so sore, sensitive and itchy. They
want something to soothe and moisturise as well as moisturise their dry skin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I became involved in skincare
for cancer patients as I was asked by some of the women that had already been
through treatment at my local hospital if I could develop something to help
patients as they went through chemo. Women do not stop being women when they
are diagnosed but, on the whole, beauty is denied them, and the team at my
local cancer centre wanted to change that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I met with patients,
survivors and the lead nurses from chemotherapy and radiology and they told me
of the ingredients they they advised patients against using. We decided upon
some objectives for the range – something for </span><a href="http://www.beautydespitecancer.co.uk/shop/"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">body,
face,</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span><a href="http://www.beautydespitecancer.co.uk/shop/body/defiant-beauty-nail-oil-12g"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">nails</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> and </span><a href="http://www.beautydespitecancer.co.uk/shop/face/defiant-beauty-lip-balm"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">lips</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> that
was suitable for sensitive skin, natural, organic where possible and fragrance
free. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I decided upon a few more
restrictions after having done some research and so the skincare collection is
now oil based (no lotions or creams), fragrance-free (with the exception of a
couple of products where appropriate essential oils have been included for
their therapeutic properties), anti-oxidants at a level that will benefit only
the product and no plant oestrogens.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I spent a long time
developing the products – all of those restrictions made it difficult for me to
achieve those objectives and keep the price low. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Cancer patients have very
little income as they go through treatment, finances are a big concern for them
and we had to keep our prices as low as possible. I was asked to provide organic and natural
products that helped with some very specific conditions and keep them fragrance
free – no wonder it took a long time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The first version of the
Defiant Beauty Collection went into the hospital for feedback and further
development. Luckily, not much more work was needed and the Defiant Beauty
Skincare Collection went on sale from a specialist salon on the Chemo ward of
University Hospital North Staffs in September 2011 and have been helping cancer
patients ever since.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
......</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">*there is an American range
but their ingredients do not meet the criteria set out by my local NHS lead
team for skincare for cancer patients<o:p></o:p></span></div>

As one of the many unfortunate suffers of<b> BAD brows,</b> I have always suffered with my brows being over grown & out of shape. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad naturally has really <i>large thick brows</i>, so luckily for me I <b>inherited </b>them & constantly am known for becoming <i>slightly plucker happy </i>with the<b> t'ol tweezers</b>. I was checking out my <u>terrible brows</u> on some of my recent photos, they had been <b>drawn far too close</b> in & far <b>too thickly</b> not giving a natural illusion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took a trip down to the '<u>Brow Bar</u>' at Debenmhams fancying getting my brows threaded which set me back a small fortune of <i><u>£10</u></i><u><i>.00</i></u> I really am surprised at how <b>long lasting</b> threading is, it lasts generally around <u><i>4-5 weeks</i></u>. I do find <u>threading</u> quite <b>painless</b>, some people do think its <b>unbearable</b>, I just have a high pain threshold. However there is one <b>pet hate</b> to threading I <b>dislike</b> the way you have to hold your <u>eyelid</u>, you <b>cant</b> lay back & <i>relax</i>, you have to <u>co-operate</u> with the <i>plucker lady</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Even the brow lady said </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"<i>Wow, your brows are in terrible condition, lets just reshape them & create a slight arch this time"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, for my next<i> brow pampering</i> I am going to check out the hype of the '<i><u>Benefit Brow Bar</u></i>' </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been reading so many reviews on '<i>Benefits Browzing Kit</i>' that I decided to pick this up & throw my eye pencil away! I picked up this kit for <i><u>£23.00</u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyGx_4UUfYKU6SvqApb_izn_8U_449FW277jJmP1f9Weupxw_oa53nvByZoo_vi2nJoxp1Ch2GGcl4WI5S94KfzZlZE8N02TATvcquiLI7oMvwul6J0TkAAXnSuU-hMy538Xc4Ti94YDM/s1600/IMG_1600.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyGx_4UUfYKU6SvqApb_izn_8U_449FW277jJmP1f9Weupxw_oa53nvByZoo_vi2nJoxp1Ch2GGcl4WI5S94KfzZlZE8N02TATvcquiLI7oMvwul6J0TkAAXnSuU-hMy538Xc4Ti94YDM/s320/IMG_1600.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kit comes with a <i>wax, powder, angled brush, flat brush & miniature tweezers</i>, perfect <u>brow DIY</u>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUn_snRVCAECi3X8OgJk_BG-ej8_Jfl_Y_0c6FzPjb_7Ztwsj1e9w4B7Nvfc3dLZvp2iC58wBwdAF0sGiMH3qKEt_6OV31sp1-e6wGdgkw9n6tll41ltNmEn26wb2VZxwO60kreJokBYg/s1600/IMG_1892.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUn_snRVCAECi3X8OgJk_BG-ej8_Jfl_Y_0c6FzPjb_7Ztwsj1e9w4B7Nvfc3dLZvp2iC58wBwdAF0sGiMH3qKEt_6OV31sp1-e6wGdgkw9n6tll41ltNmEn26wb2VZxwO60kreJokBYg/s320/IMG_1892.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <b>wax</b> is used first to create the shape of your brow, to <b>darken</b> the hairs of the brow, the <b>powder</b> is used to set the <i>wax in place </i>& to also <u>fill in</u> the brows where your hair is <i><u>sparse</u></i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By using the <b>powder</b> at the start of your brow its gives the <b>natural light to dark illusion.</b><br />
<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;">
The <u>left pallet</u> holds the<b> wax </b>& the<u> right pallet</u> holds the <b>powder</b>. I have used this kit<u> everyday</u> since I purchased it back at the<b> end of June </b>& it's still holding out <u>very strong</u>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know what you're thinking...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Why fill your brows in when you have blunt bangs covering them all day?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well a gust of wind could<b> expose</b> my forehead & I wish for my brows to still look <b><u>knockout!</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(But at the moment my bangs are quite short & </i><i>show my brows, so they cannot be over grown or untidy!)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This product will definitely last me the year, <i><u>£23.00</u></i> a year sounds like a reasonable investment to me,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i> what do you reckon?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I <u>adore</u> this product, I honestly <b>do not</b> know how I have managed without<i> Browzings </i>before now! To me this product offers you all the illusion of <b>HD</b> brows <b>without</b> the '<u>high definition</u>' price</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>PERFECT.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you can see there's <i>nothing great</i> about my natural brow, I always fill them in more to <b>darken</b> them than anything as I think they're a<i> "funny brown" colour</i><br />

Flat 'blending brush' perfect for applying the powder to the key areas!<br />
<br />
Im going to show you how I use the <b>Browzing Kit,</b> so you can see the difference & hopefully have you<i> itching to pop to your local counter</i> & pick one of these <b>amazing kits up!</b><br />
<br />
Firstly I take the <b>wax</b> & apply a stroke at the <i>thicker beginning of my brow</i> at the <b>bottom & top</b> to define the <i><u>shape & angle</u></i>, I then begin to <b>fill</b> the rest of the brow from the <u>defined sections</u> out towards my hair line. I also <i>elongate</i> the ends of my brow ever so <b>slightly </b>just for a <u>longer more arched brow</u>!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As you can see the tip of my brow closest to my nose is still<b> not filled in,</b> this is the more <b><u>sparse area</u></b> of my brow. I have <b>struggled</b> for years trying to get these areas more <u>fuller</u> but for some reason they just wont grow! This is why the<i> powder</i> is my <u><b>life saver</b></u>!<br />
Firstly I apply the powder to the half of my brow that has been <b>defined by wax</b>, to really set the wax in place & add<i> slightly </i>more colouring.<br />
After that I take the powder and<i> lightly fill</i> in the sparse area, giving the natural light to dark illusion & <b>setting the shape</b> of my brow.<br />

Brow shape can make an<i> amazing difference</i> to peoples face, after all our brows hold the key to all our <b>mysterious expressions</b>!<br />
Lately I have been choosing to have quite a <u>square shaped brow</u>.<br />
I feel confident with this brow, I like the look it gives me & I think it suits my face shape..<br />

<b>Lets go.. Lil'KittyKat.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(Sharing some very relevant Beyonce with you ladies)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been giving my <i>eye make up a revamp</i>, Ive done the lipsticks so I'm giving my<u> favorite feature</u> some <b>TLC. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love <i>eye make up</i> & Id say they're my favorite thing to <u><i>dress everyday</i></u>. I always support <b>dark liquid</b> liner on the top of my eye lid. <a href="http://make-upxcity.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/blacktrack-fluid-liner.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> I talk about how Mac's <b>FluidLine</b> is a <u>MUST HAVE</u>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But some days I fancy going for the really <i>sexy entire blacked out </i>eye, so I team up my '<i>Blacktrack</i>' gel liner with Mac's '<i>Feline</i>' khol pencil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I struggle to find eye pencils that are <b>long wearing</b> because it's placed on your<i> waterline</i> I find it it often runs under your eyes & makes you look to have <u>dark circles</u>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(no-one likes a tired eye look!)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>or</b> it wears off within<b> 5 minutes</b> of applying.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><u>FELINE</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><u>is purrrrfect!</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this product is <b>definitely durable</b> & sticks around for a good <b><u>4-5 hours</u></b>, which for pencil liner is <i>AMAZING</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHMUWKDU_u3obUBVCsnYFuof4CxSUhfyW3AiUplF-DcSQ8FyiBg-M3Npy38Z0P-B9NYJEzNc7s2-eflc4vh8yyOmoy5C8DmdJjGG5QD1yxkdYyX6ndMoK9Dgl4Rs-5Awm2PGRW55agIDU/s1600/IMG_1594.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHMUWKDU_u3obUBVCsnYFuof4CxSUhfyW3AiUplF-DcSQ8FyiBg-M3Npy38Z0P-B9NYJEzNc7s2-eflc4vh8yyOmoy5C8DmdJjGG5QD1yxkdYyX6ndMoK9Dgl4Rs-5Awm2PGRW55agIDU/s320/IMG_1594.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pencil is a really soft khol & literally applies so<i> easily</i> with not much <i><b>pressure</b></i> needed to get a fabulously thick black <b>show stopping</b> water line!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This product <i>lasts forever</i>, I use the pencil every other day </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(just to spice things up a little!)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& I barely have to <b>sharpen</b> it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need to reapply after <b>5 hours</b> & it rarely runs under my eyes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
unless you suffer with<i> watery eyes</i>, which I do it's so <u>annoying</u>, I just apply with more care. I apply the pencil to both of my waterlines, <i>top lid & bottom lid</i>, just to give my eyes that <u><i><b>POW!</b></i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can definitely see why Mac name this their "<b>POWER</b>" eye pencil, as the liner is very <b>bold</b> & <u>defined</u> when applied this product comes in at <u>£14.00</u><br />
Yes, it's a little<i> pricey</i>, but for a pencil thats gonna<b> stay in place</b>, it's worth the <i>splurge</i>!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Here's the liner applied on the eye, with 'blacktrack' gel liner!</b></i><br />

As you know<em> money burns a hole in my pocket</em>...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the <u>summer sales</u> in full swing I literally could not resist popping into one of my favorite shops.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NEW LOOK.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Under normal circumstances, I genuinely find New Look a very<i> hit & miss</i> kind of shop, sometimes I go in & want the <b>entire shop</b> <i>(this is usually when I've no pennies!)</i> & others I go in & theres <b>nothing</b> at all... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT ... this time it was a <b>successful trip</b> & I bagged a <u>BARGAIN</u> too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>which definitely put a spring in my step! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With my <i>festival wardrobe</i> soon to be making an appearance at <u>Leeds Festival</u> this year, Iv been searching for a few <b>new bits</b> to take along with me. As festival <i>fashion & style</i> is becoming more & more popular, Im gonna try my best to keep <i>glamourous </i>as much as I can at <u>Leeds 2013</u>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was just browsing along the sale section & stumbled across this beautiful Aztec crop top for a small fortune of... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><i><b>£5.00!

I adore the colours this print has, it's so <b>girly & beautiful</b>, I decided it would be perfect to<u> pull out the pink</u> in the top & wear it with my favorite <u>MAC limited edition</u> pink lipstick "<i>Embrace Me</i>" -<em><u>£15!</u></em> Which is brought to you in <strong>Mac's fashionista set </strong>which was released earlier this year</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I love how this top could be worn <b>casual </b>with a cute pair of denim shorts or under a<i> quirky </i>dungaree, which is definitely how ill be <i>supporting it</i> at the festival.. <b>rain or shine!</b></div>

But for the time being, I am loving this<b> heatwave</b> & taking <b>advantage </b>of showcasing my tan & indeed my <i>bronzed mid riff,</i> I decided to rock this beauty up<u> town</u> this weekend.

With the sun not being out yet. Im using this morning to actively blog a little post about a<b> MAC</b> product that iv recently picked up, if I'm honest I've actually <u>no idea</u> how I have managed <i>years</i> <b>without</b> this product!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its well got me<b> hooked</b>, I shall be <i>repurchasing</i> this product <u>time & time</u> again, However it's set to last a good year atleast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just for a little blogging info, currently sat in the garden supporting my Chicago Bulls away kit jersey. Listening to <b>#HolidayAnthems!</b> This is a totally fabulous <i>summer holiday sountrack</i>, it's a new release <i>CHECK IT OUT!!!!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ANYWAY....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>ON TO THE LINER...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I have been set using Collection 2000's "<b>Fast Stroke</b>" black eyeliner for years, for me this product is<i> perfect </i>for a first liquid liner, its got such an<b> easy applicator</b>, the brush is a <i>sponge</i> making it so easy to apply. You get an <b>even thick</b> black stroke when following the shape of your eyelid. Its brought to you by Boots <b>Collection 2000</b></div>

This product is really<b> long lasting</b>, I found myself having to buy one of these every <u>4-5 months</u> & I used the product everyday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Cannot go a day without my cat eye black stroke liner look!)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The liner would last all day. I found it could sometimes need a <b>second coat</b> when its first applied to really get the <b>deep bold </b>black effect!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At this perfect price it's a great <i>starting liner</i> to see if you can really get the <i>hang of applying</i> & wearing liquid liner. I stuck to this liner for<u> 4 years</u> before splashing out on <b>counter brand</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was time to go wild & <b>experiment</b> with a counter brand liner, Id seen so many of these new "<i>Gel</i>" liners that come in a pot, which must be applied with a<b> brush</b>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After numours chats with my fellow <b>Beauty Guru</b> from work <i>Hannah Norton!</i> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Big love to Han! an M&S beauty counter worker!)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She swayed me into popping down to my favorite counter ever... <b>MAC</b></div>

Now I'm not a <i>steady handed</i> girl, in-fact I am extremely <b>clumsy</b> & didn't think I could <b>manage</b> a bristle brush, I thought id create a right <u>dogs dinner</u> out of it,<b> BUT</b> I was very<i> surprised</i> at how easy this applies! A <u>little goes a long</u> way with the product, use it sparingly, as long as I keep this sealed tight this baby should last <u><b>AGES!</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am a <i>sucker</i> for black eyes, I love a good <u>smokey eye</u> or a completed<i> blacked out </i>eye, it gives a real <b>sexy</b> vibe & creates a<i> mysterious</i> look. So of course I picked this up in '<i>Black track</i>' a <b>deeply </b>pigmented black. This beauty is <u><i>£17.50</i></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(MAC do offer this product in a range of colours see the website for more details!)</i></div>

<b>AW, HOW CUTE.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Make-upxcity</u> is sharing its <b>first</b> month of blogging. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lets take a look back at June...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bit the bullet & decided to send this beauty<b> live </b>on <u>11th June 2013.</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With my very first post being about my homegrown on the move '<b>Chap Lip Remedy</b>' including products from <b>LUSH & BURTS BEES.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then begin to showcase my love for <i>MAC lipsticks</i> & how I truly am a lipstick<b> fanatic.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I continuously post about lipsticks that have me<b> hot </b>under the collar this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the <b>ALL ABOUT ORANGE </b>collection storming way ahead this season. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>LOVIN' THE ORANGE LIP.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of lipsticks, I shared my secret to creating the <i>RiriWoo</i> look with <i>Rubywoo</i>. As we all know they are an almost dupe double of eachother.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(WASTE OF TIME RIRI)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with my purchase of<i> RiriBoy</i>, I still prefer <i>Up The Amp</i>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(Maybe, I am set in my ways!)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However.. Myself & MAC are having some relationship issues, due to them charging me for Heaux lipstick & never sending me it.... BUT never the less I did grab the entire <b>FASHIONISTA SET</b>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>ALSO</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
deciding to share my endless purchases of <b>BARGAIN</b> pieces, like my Boots Cosmetic <u>MUST HAVES</u>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& my gorgeous '<b>Mango</b>' white studded bag, perfecto' for summer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Falling for the entire <b>Barry M Gelly</b> collection, My loves still going strong!!.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sharing my gorgeous 60's style dress, due to <b>heat wave</b> I have had chance to wear this beauty, it's quite a thick one. Will look amazing in winter dressed casual with thick black tights & converse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Swear by my converse shoes 365 days a year!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>MY ENDLESS HAIR CHANGES.</b>..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have covered ombre & how easy it is to use the Loreal '<i>Wild Ombre</i>' kit step by step photos & instructions of how to apply in the easy way for an even effect </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(PLEASE see my post!)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dying my hair this colour was a great experiment & created the perfect look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>HOWEVER..</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After about 4 months of wanting a 'Full Fringe' aka.. 'BANGS!'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to bite the bullet the more I saw them on celebrities or on members of the public, I couldn't be without one any longer... I had gave into temptation!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
&<i> NOW</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Iv gone <b>back to black</b>....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well <i>ALMOST.</i> having felt like I had far too much going on with the <b>ombre bangs combo</b>. One had to go, the ombre just didn't make the cut. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With endless jokes at work with how much I now resemble '<i>Rachel Berry</i>' aka.. '<i>Lea Michelle</i>' having supported the fringe look.. it was here to stay.. for a <b>month</b> or so <i>at least.</i>..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am absolutely loving watching my <b>blog grow</b>, its grown more than I could have <i>ever imagined </i>in this short period of time, Every time anyone<i> views or stumbles across</i> my blog, I am ever so <b>grateful</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really have taken writing this blog in my<i> stride</i> & although at the moment I am<b> crazy busy</b> with work. I will still <b>definitely</b> find time to blog about my <i>must haves</i>, <b>bargains</b>, <u>cosmetics</u>, <i>hairstyles</i> & <b>life. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for reading & for the <i>great feedback</i> iv received means a-lot ..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Before being<i> nominated</i> I had never heard of the award, which is probably<u> understandable</u> being <i>new</i> to blogging, however I am<b> loving</b> watching my<b> blog grow</b> & <i>writing witty posts</i> about my little life bubble!So I figured why not get<b> involved </b>in this lovely challenge. After reading Hannah's post & a few other girls who have been<i> nominated</i> I decided to give this a <b>whirl</b>. After all I<u><i> love</i></u> trying things on for size!</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1.<u> If I gave you <b>£20</b>, What fashion/beauty item(s) would you buy with it?</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a blogger, I am <i>CONSTANTLY</i> updating my Mac lipstick collection, Id purchase Mac's amazing 'Lady Danger' Red for £14.00 & Id pick up a <i>KILLER</i> red nail polish to match!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b style="font-size: x-large;"> </b>2.<u> Favorite accessories?</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gosh! So many to choose from, But if I HAD to narrow it down, It would be my <u>chunky gold necklace</u> of <b>elephant heads</b> from topshop! it's just so <i>phunky</i>! Along with my <i>NYC Macy's Tote bag,</i> I never leave the house without my <b>Michael Korrs rose gold</b> watch or my<i> pandora birthstone ring</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. <u>Which colour do you wear most in summer?</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Urm, Im definitely a<b> coral girl</b> every summer, it only means <i>one thing</i>, it's time for the coral, <i>flipflops</i>,bikini's, nail polishes, <i>lipsticks</i>, bags,<i> tops.</i>.. <u>anything</u> I can get my <u>hands on</u> really.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Do you own a statement piece? If so what is it?</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I believe everything I or any other <i>fashion warrior</i> owns is statement, dress <u>anything up</u> in the right manor, make it totally<i> kick ass</i> for <b><u>any</u></b> occasion, for me thats <b>statement</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>What's your favorite time to blog?</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to blog in the <b>evening</b>, with a <i>cup of tea</i> firmly by my side & often the <u>odd bag</u> of peanut M&M's!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Gold or Silver jewelry?</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>GOLD</b>. always so <i>glam</i>, I love a good gold piece of jewelry with a <i>bronzed summer tan</i> especially. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Floral or Polka Dot?</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Polka Dot</b> is the winner for me the season, I love<i> navy & white</i> polka dot, teaming that up with a red lippy, is always <i><u>very chic</u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><u>would you rather live without mascara or foundation?</u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mascara easily, I have such a<i> patchy undertone</i> to my skin, plus I love the<i> flawless finish!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Would you rather have long or short hair?</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For someone who has had both the '<i>posh bob</i>' & now the <b>medium long locks</b>, I would <u>definitely</u> say<b> long</b>, so much more diverse I love the <i>different looks</i> I can get with my hair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Which is your current makeup brand favourite? Mac or Nars?</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you even<b> need</b> to ask... Of course it's <b>MAC</b>. im a<u> </u><i><u>die hard</u> Mac girl.</i></div>

Yes ladies your eyes are<b> not deceiving</b> you. Its <b>July</b> & summer has <u><i>FINALLY</i></u> kicked in. It was as much to my <i>surprise</i> as it is yours, that after the years of <b>"<i>Heatwave"</i></b> rumors on the weather report. Britain's been <u>smashed</u> right at the <i>peek of the summer</i> season with ... A <b>HEATWAVE</b>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For anyone like myself who<b> isn't</b> lucky enough to be<i> jet setting</i> this year, this is beyond ideal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(Unfortunately I will be missing 90% of the sunshine, stuck inside my second home.. M&S)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u>BUT.</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i></i>Never the less <i>sunshine</i> instantly<b> lifts </b>everyones moods & a happy customer, makes an <u>easy life.</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(I love observing everyones bright & interesting British summer wardrobe!)</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>We can<i> FINALLY </i>get out our bikini's, short shorts, playsuits, dresses, maxi skirts, sunglasses, oversized sun hats & sun-cream!!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been itching to get my<i> sunbathe on </i>& finally today being sunday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(The day of rest.. so to speak!)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I definitely did that. I<b> rested up </b>in my favorite<i> candy stripped bikini</i>. I got out my towel & plonked on the grass. I felt just like I was laid on a<i> less glamourous</i> version of <u>central park</u>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first step to tanning anywhere is sun protection. I swear by <b>Piz Buin</b>, yes it is always on the <i>pricey side</i> coming in at around <u><i>£8.74</i></u>. But we all know it's the time of the year where <u>Boots</u> are giving us a little something back for going through the <i>summer look ordeal</i>. They are offering a <u>cheeky</u> '<i>Buy one get one half price</i>' promotion which in this heat we should <u>definitely</u> take <b>advantage </b>of!!</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/AVvXsEhYOlBzfQxxBLT7cGZ7oeiXEh2BCTJK4dezu6R_rwukV5TsEH4N6TLPdJOo3OIKkcRQkgV7hsLeIjZHX0urtAGP_G550IApLJ9BBLpE8jitnAwRnltSGUjYQeU2B4ixxvJAscdvAd-AsBA/s1600/IMG_1631.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYOlBzfQxxBLT7cGZ7oeiXEh2BCTJK4dezu6R_rwukV5TsEH4N6TLPdJOo3OIKkcRQkgV7hsLeIjZHX0urtAGP_G550IApLJ9BBLpE8jitnAwRnltSGUjYQeU2B4ixxvJAscdvAd-AsBA/s320/IMG_1631.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I get a<b> head start</b> at this tanning business, as I naturally have an '<i>Olive</i>' skin tone. I only have to so much as <b>look</b> at the sun <u>&</u> I'm brown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Sorry to brag ladies...)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I always use a <b>factor 15</b> & then I <u><i>naughtily</i></u> work my way down to as low as <b>factor 6</b>. Im also partial to a <u><i>cheeky</i></u> bit of tanning oil. But I'm not going to that<i> extreme in the UK.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a<i> long day</i> of sunbathing ahead, keeping <i>ice cold water </i>on hand, to stay hydrated. I always like to have my<b> iPod</b> handy, I love getting<i> lost </i>in the<u> world of music</u>. Gives me the chance to totally feel <i>ultimately relaxed,</i> today's <i><u>sunbathing soundtrack</u></i>.. was Ministry Of Sounds <b>Marbella Sessions 2013.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This <i>killer summer</i> soundtrack is available for download on iTunes for a small fortune of <u><i>£9.99</i></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I promise you, that you <i>wont regret</i> this purchase, perfect for <b>sunbathing,</b> perfect for any <b>holiday</b> you've got on the <i>horizon</i> or perfect for getting you <b>hyped up </b>for your <i>Saturday night</i> on the <b>town</b>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am definitely feeling a<b> health kick</b> at the moment, The sunshine just makes me want to <i>eat clean</i>. I cant bare a <b>sticky melted chocolate bar</b> on a hot day. I am<b> loving</b> apples at the minute. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(An apple a day keeps the doctor away...)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spending a lot of my<i> breaks</i> when working down at Trinity Leeds local '<b>Juice</b>' bar. I decided to pick up some smoothies. After all there's nothing more<i> refreshing</i> in the baking heat than an<b> ice cold smoothie</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's smoothie choice was<u> Strawberry & Banana..</u></div>

Get yourselves down to ASDA & give in to your <b>smoothie craving</b>, there's loads of flavors, I'm sure one will<i> tickle your fancy</i>. They're a bargain<u><i> £1.00!</i></u> <i>Thats asda price... so they say!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The long hair dilemma...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As much as I <i>adore</i> my medium-long brown head of hair, in the <u>summer</u> any girl with long will agree it's a <b><u>nightmare!</u></b> You get <i>hot & sweaty</i> so much faster & the<i> heat defies</i> any amount of <u>hairspray</u> you<b> layer on,</b> so <i>styling</i> is a definite<b> waste of time.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The<b> beauty</b> of hair styling at the moment, is the <u>messy look</u>. So you can literally<u> throw</u> your hair back as <i>roughly</i> as you want & still look<b> fabulous. </b>even when bits <i>stray away</i> you're covered with the<b> on trend</b> <i>"messy" vibe.</i></div>

Speaking of my afternoon read....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On holiday I transform in to a<i> total bookworm</i>. But having <b>no desire</b> to read off my iPad. I popped to the shop to get my<i> fashion & lifestyle fix</i> from my favorite <u>Cosmopolitan</u> mag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the idea of reading from an iPad or a kindle is<i> great,</i> but I'm a<u> traditional</u> girl & I love a<i> good paper back book!</i></div>

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

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its so important to keep your skin <i>moisturized</i> in general, but even more so after being in the sun, as your skins been <b>exposed</b> to levels of <u>UV.</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We all know that this little <i>secret</i> prolongs &<b> enhances</b> our tan anyway, we all have the<i> desire</i> for that sun kissed look. Lets face it you always feel better when you're <i>glowing</i> from a <b>sun kissed holiday</b>.</div>

There comes a time in life, where you're faced with a <u>tough battle</u> ....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, the wardrobe <u>clear out</u>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(You can hear the fashionistas cries can't you?)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well my <b>wardrobe clear out</b> has a positive as I am sending all my<u> fashionable unwanted</u> items along to the '<i>Yorkshire Air Ambulance</i>'. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year I went through a <b>high drop in weight,</b> slimming down from a <u>12-14</u> to a new dress size of<u> 8-10</u>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will <u>NOT</u> bore you lot with how I managed this, it's not something id recommend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>BUT</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's true what they say '<i>A heartbreak diet works wonders</i>'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">WHO NEEDS A BOYFRIEND ANYWAY?</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I believe that your real <b>soul mates</b> in life are your closest girl friends. They steal your heart,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the <u>men</u> simply come <b>second best. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly I decided to start with my <u>second wardrobe</u> which I stole over in the guest room, I kept this little space for my <b>summer holiday clothes.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(My mum was NOT best pleased..whoopsie!)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was<i> jam packed full </i>of bright shorts, <u>skirts</u>, white jeans & my<b> favorite </b>patterned denim hot pants!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had some old <b>winter coats</b> shoved in there too, after all it's summer & I'm<i> religiously rocking </i>a blazer this season.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Theres not much. but it <b>ALL</b> had to go, I think throwing your clothes away sometimes can be as<i> painful </i>as throwing away something <b>sentimental</b>. So much that I could <u>not bare to part with </u>my all time favorite Topshop<b> American Flag pocket print denim shorts</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I only ever purchased these because they had the<u> American flag printed on them</u>, but like all things America I <i>fell in love</i> with them. They're<i> 3 sizes to big </i>& most definitely <u>NOT</u> gonna fit anytime soon. but they're <b>staying firm</b> within my <u>household.</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also couldnt pass up 2 other pairs of shorts, they're <i>slightly on the big side</i>, but if I do end up venturing to Tenerife later on this year, they will be <u>very handy.</u></div>

These two beauties were the <u>hardest</u> to chuck from this old school summer wardrobe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pieces I pulled out often left me thinking, <i>"What was I think last year?</i>" I must have had either <u>terrible taste </u>in clothing or<b> bad eyesight</b> last year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But these two Topshop summer time skrits were always wore all summer. I wore both with either black or white tops. But they're now quite dated & huge at the waist both coming at at<b> size 14.</b></div>

I decided there was certain Items that did not<b> make the cut.</b> I threw away many black shirts, I think I found <u>4</u>, <i>who needs 4? </i>I gave a pearl peter pan collar top<b> the boot</b>, along with many <u>over sized jeans</u> in an array of colours & trousers Id not wore since trailing round New College.</div>

There was 3 painful items that didn't make the cut.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1.Topshop leopard print skater dress Size 12.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Boohoo white studded Egyptian inspired dress in L.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. River island purple playsuit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

All three items didn't fit & although it was<b> hard</b> to do, sometimes you have to do <i>hard things</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even though last year I <u>rocked</u> that playsuit outside <i>NYC Bloomingdales.</i> It was about to hit the<b> binbag!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That was it all clothes had been <u>assessed</u>, really what would have made this <u>more exciting</u> would have been getting the <b>girls round</b> with <i>'throw'</i> & <b>'keep' </b><u>flash cards</u> & a <i><u>fashion show.</u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But life<b> isnt</b> like the <u>movies</u> & my girls were all <u>working</u>.</div>

As these days I seem to be getting all <i>glam'd up</i> more than often on a weekend, I have purchased a <u>NEW</u> dress for the first time in about <u>3 months.</u> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(<i>Thats what happens when you get a cosmetic obsession...oops!</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But this little number <i>couldnt be missed.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am celebrating my brothers<i> 24th birthday </i>this weekend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
&</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for anyone thats locally familiar with wakefield, I will be par-taking in the "<i>Westgate Run</i>"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have decided to go for something <b>completely different</b>, I have never once wore anything A-Line ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u>BUT</u></i> there is a <i>"first time for everything" .. So they say!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was walking past River Island & it seemed to be crammed with all things <b>orange</b>, <u>red</u> & <i>monochrome.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>& </i>like I've been saying all this month I am <u>mad</u> for <b>anything orange</b> at the moment & of course the orange <i>fever</i> came over me & <u>lured me in.</u> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(against my own will... fever is so powerful!)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<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;">
This <u>A Line</u> beauty comes in at a <i>BARGAIN</i> <u>£30.00</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this dress, it's so <b>chic</b> & <i>very 60's</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The busy black & white checked pattern makes it very<b> flattering</b> on any figure, especially with the A Line cut, just <b>skims</b> all the<i> right places</i>!. I am a very tall girl, I stand at <u>5ft 8'</u> & this dress comes to just above my knee, it is the <i>PERFECT </i>length!</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;">
The orange trim round the<i> neckline,</i> <b>middle</b> of the <u>shoulders</u> & sleeves <i>really <u>set</u> this piece off.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They give it such a <b>statement look</b>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Of course I have the perfect Orange lipstick to go with this dress!)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be wearing it with MAC's "<i>Neon Orange</i>" Lipstick, I shall definitely be <u>posting a picture</u> when I wear this on saturday night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Watch this space...)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A <u>word</u> of<b> warning</b> though ladies, this dress due to it being <u>A Line</u> is designed to be <i>over sized,</i> but it can be a little too on the <u>large side</u> & I picked this up in an <i>8.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(I usually take a<b> size 10</b>)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This garment starts at a size<i> 8</i> & finishes at an <i>18.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>I think this is such a <u>classy piece </u>& I will be dressing it up with some orange heels or black an gold studded heels, a black clutch & a <b>hint</b> of <u>chunky gold hoops.</u> </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>

Yes you guessed it, Iv been to the <u>MAC Counter</u> again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They really should ban me from there, however if they did they'd probably<b> shut down!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>ANYWAY.</i>..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Iv been eying up "<i>Girl About Town</i>" for weeks, after months of going in & <u>swatching</u> the colour on the hand & leaving <i>toying</i> with the <b>idea</b> every time, I decided to <u>purchase it!</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If im completely honest, <i>Pink lipstick </i>is usually not for me, I often<b> don't</b> like myself in pink & feel I cant pull it off <i>BUT</i> after getting my hands on MAC's "<i>Embrace Me</i>" & falling in love with the<u> hot pink matte lipstick.</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I figured it was time to give this one a<b> whirl!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u>Girl About Town</u> is a deep<b> hot</b> pink, its very <i>blue toned </i>& is quite a cute colour for both everyday & a night out on the town.. (obviously!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its brought to you from MAC's Amplified range it comes in at <u><i>£14.00</i></u>. It has quite a shiny finish, but it's very <b>long lasting.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a swatch of the colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This colour will look <u><b>amazing</b></u> on any skin tone, but its as its boldest when you team it up with a bronzed tan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the <u><i>PERFECT</i></u> holiday colour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did find when wearing this its that durable it <u>didn't</u> need much <i>reapplying</i> & it <b>stayed in place</b> even when <u>drinking & eating</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the colour before I hit a night on the town.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think this will<i> definitely</i> become one of my new<b> favorite shades</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would really reccomend this for a <b>first pink</b> lipstick as it's quite calm toned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other pinks can be <i>quite harsh,</i> this one just seems to get it <u><b>right.</b></u></div>

For anyone that read my older post about not being able to beat the desire for <u><i>BANGS</i></u> this summer..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There comes a time where after listening to many people saying "<u>go for it</u>" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"no, <b>DONT</b> it's so last year"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That you have to make a strong woman decision.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am <i>horrendous</i> at making decisions....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>BUT</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After listening to my true soul mate.. also known as my best friend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Abi Hylton.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's been pushing the bangs fever on me for about <i>4 months.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Enough is enough already!!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I woke up feeling quite <i>adventurous</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was popping down into <u>Leeds</u> anyway & walking past salons still toying with the idea...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Theres something about <i>hairdressers</i> I<b> love</b>. Whether it be the <u>chatty stylists</u> or the <u>crazy gowns.</u> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to <i>bite the bullet</i> & <u><b>GO</b></u> for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>After all change is good.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I am a<i> firm believer</i> that change is always essential if we didn't <u>spice things up</u> every now & again life would be <b>very boring.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>After posting about me wanting them, I felt it would only be fair to share the finish result with you.</i></div>

So for all you people watches & nosy folk out there..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(like myself..)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am going to reveal a woman's <u>BIGGEST</u> secret. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Yes you guessed it</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The contents of my <u>handbag.</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course everyone always carries <i>half of their life</i> around with them day in day out in their tote handbags. Big bags are taking the <u>highstreet by storm</u> this season. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We all know why</i>! Simply so we can fill them to the <b>brim</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whether you're cramming your bag with <u>secret shopping purchases</u>, your <i>daily</i> essentials, your favorite <i>'on the go'</i> hair products or your <u>must have</u> gadgets. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A tote bag is <i><u>PERFECT</u></i> for throwing all your stuff in to keep you going throughout the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am currently carrying my life around in my <b>favorite bag ever</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(This baby traveled air miles)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am currently supporting my <u>New York Macy's bag.</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked up this little beauty in <u>NYC last year</u>. which might I add was the <i>best holiday ever.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This trip was every <i>glamourous</i> chicks dream, everything in New York is fabulous! If you haven't been get putting that <i>copper away</i> in your <u>savings jar</u> & book yourself a<b> flight!</b> </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/AVvXsEjWji2A-dn0yk2lbd77h-DXQ3y8Ca12k_qAXJAABQuSZlOa9zMzYtncZsLac5DOypRTdQ8DTk9kLJ5hyphenhyphenIsElFUiTmkj6v_tx0m5eib-zq4iWhL9EKpvtQJ6U7GGubIxUtzxOHbfHFjGr2s/s1600/IMG_1373.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWji2A-dn0yk2lbd77h-DXQ3y8Ca12k_qAXJAABQuSZlOa9zMzYtncZsLac5DOypRTdQ8DTk9kLJ5hyphenhyphenIsElFUiTmkj6v_tx0m5eib-zq4iWhL9EKpvtQJ6U7GGubIxUtzxOHbfHFjGr2s/s320/IMG_1373.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked up this gorgeous BIG Macy's tote bag for around <u>$30</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Don't quote me, it was a long while ago & I <u>shamefully</u> cannot remember!)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So like I once did in the <b>Big Apple</b>, I throw this <i>baby over my shoulder</i> & strut my way down <u>Briggate everyday</u>. Not quite as <i>glamourous as Fifth Avenue,</i> However whenever Ive got this bag I do feel very <i>Carrie Bradshaw</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Shhh, shes my inner Ego)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the real question is what have I got hiding in this <i>New York tote treasure</i>?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The question is what <u><i>HAVEN'T</i></u> I got in this bag?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know this is definitely a <b>tidied up version</b> of my bags contents.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always tend to have a <i>pair of shoes</i> in bag, trailing to work everyday in dolly shoes in Britain is <i>risky business</i>, due to our <b>freak weather</b>. Therefore <i>where there's a will there's a way!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always have my<b> favorite black comfy pumps</b> to hand. These are so in need of a<u> refresh.</u> But they're my <i>lucky driving shoes</i> & until I pass they can continue to look scruffy.. Theses are <u>Authentic Vans Low Pro </u>pumps. They're priced at around <u><i>£39.99</i></u> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Schuh offer student <i>discount so grab that card</i> & <u>save</u> your student pennies! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Along with any shoes floating around definitely comes a pair of socks right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always tend to have a pair of what m&s would call Footsie socks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They're <i><u>PERFECT</u></i> for under <b>dolly shoes</b>, they only go round your toes & heels perfect for hiding away under your shoes & <u>beating</u> the <i>hot clammy feet</i> this summer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Its stupidly hot where I work, Iv forgotten what air-conditioning is?)</i></div>

I picked up these little lovelies from Primark, they're not a high denier and are very <i>light weight</i> & <u>comfy</u>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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

The next thing I tend to find <i>swimming in my handbag</i> is this <u>weeks & day's nail & lip look</u>. This week im feeling all <b>hot under the collar</b> with <u>coral nails & bright lipstick</u>, the gorgeous sunshine has <i>disappeared</i> so im trying to bring some s<i>ummer sun to my work place</i>, brightening the place up with <b>summery lipsticks</b> paired up with a<i> killer smile</i> & my must have <u>Barry M Gelly</u> polish '<i>Passion Fruit</i>'</div>

This month as a <i>Boots</i> Advantage Card holder, I was posted through some<i> points vouchers </i>which I usually leave in the envelope to go to <u>waste</u>.. so I decided to take on the "<i>first time for everything</i>" cliche & give this claiming points business ago..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(There's some hair crimpers im adamant to save up for... in points).</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I usually tend to spend about<u> an hour & an half </u> browsing the cosmetic section in Boots looking for lipstick <i>dupes</i>, <i>new </i>nail polishes, <u>eye liners</u> & all things<i> bronzing</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> (After all I love a good fake tan or a good bronzed summer look.. who doesn't?)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as I recent posted that this summer I am<i><u> LOVING</u></i> all things orange & of course adding to my orange lipstick collection..comes the array of <b><u>orange nail polishes.</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The polish thats got me <b>hooked</b> this summer is definitely <u>Barry M's Gelly</u> range.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These come in at a bargain price of <u>£3.99</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(Just a small £1 more than a regular Barry M polish.. <b>SO</b> worth it right?!)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adore the finish to this product, it almost gives you a <u>shellac effect</u>, the amount of people that have commented on my nails at work asking if they're shellac is <u>uncanny.</u> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This is the <i>more-ish</i> 'Mango' shade on the nails. This shade looks<b> amazing</b> next to any skin tone, but in particular if you're <u>rocking that summer holiday tan</u> or you've simply been getting your <u>favorite tanning mitt</u> on full swing, either way this polish will <i>not disappoint you.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It really does have a <b>high shine</b>, I am <u>not</u> wearing a top coat on this shot & the shine lasts for days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This had quite a strong chip resist too, I wore this shade for<b> 5 days </b>before it chipped. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Trust me</b> working in retail with painted nails its hard to keep them<i> in tact,</i> but this collection really surprised me.</div>

This is Barry M's <u>poweful</u> '<i>Passion Fruit</i>' shade on the nails. This shade looks <i>amazing</i> next to any tone & definitely makes your hands a browner tone. This is probably a <u>woman's favorite summer shade</u> these days. Its an coral colour, also known as an "<i>Orangey Red</i>" colour. I love this colour on toe nails when you have <u>brown feet</u> on your jollies it looks <i>super cute.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(You guys don't wanna see this shade on my teeny tiny toes.. I'll spare you the horror!)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have literally just painted my nails this colour, so I'll be putting the <u>chip resist</u> to the<b> test</b> again with 3 long hectic days at work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Will they stand the test?</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am now <b>itching</b> to get my hands on more of the <i>Barry M's Gelly</i> collection, I simply <u>adore</u> the high shine they give to your nails. The collection comes in a<i> lovely array of shades</i> both suitable for all year round seasons. I am after a <i>gelly red</i> polish next, love teaming red up with navy clothing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(so novelty.. arent I?!)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Boots currently have '<u>a buy 1 get 1 half</u>' price offer I think this calls for more of a splurge..</div>

The next product that I think is a must have this month is Boot's Seventeen's range <u>best kept secret</u>..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Shhh! I'm sharing..)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seventeen is a minor Boots cosmetic's range, I was swatching away as usual, my hands are always shocking after a trip down to any cosmetic counter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not usually that keen on Seventeen products & it's not a range id usually pick up on a regular basis. But this '<b>Instant Glow Shimmer Brick</b>' is an absolute MUST have this summer. Its amazing it really does have the finish of a high end cosmetic counter product. Its very similar to MAC's 'Gold Deposit' which comes in at around <u>£22.50</u>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But this <u><i>AMAZING</i></u> product comes in at <u><i>£3.00</i></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i style="text-decoration: underline;">PLEASE</i> ladies if you pick up nothing else from my blog reviews this month, <b>definitely</b> pick up this item, it's <u>not</u> to be missed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It literally stays in place<b> all day</b> & sits on top of your make up in such a<i> flawless way.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use the<i> lighter end </i>of the brick with a powder brush to <i>high light</i> my cheek bones. I contour with the <b>darker end</b> of the brick below my cheek bones to <u>enhance</u> them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Heres a swatch of the entire shimmer brick mixed together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Such a gorgeous bonze tone, right?)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to think of the product as a <u>cheaper</u> way to get a <i>powder highlighter</i> thats <b>effective & long lasting</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its perfect for <i>highlighting & contouring</i>, this product is <b>unbelievably affordable</b> & it needs to be <i>showcased</i> in the blogging world, as this product is<b> highly underestimated.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As <i>cheeky</i> as this may sound you could <i>definitely</i> use this brick as <i><u>eye shadow</u></i> as well will creative the <i><b>perfect bronzed</b></i> eye look. The lighter end of the shimmer brick will give <i>great brow definition </i>when applied to the <b>brow bone</b>.</div>

For some reason, my brain just will <b>NOT</b> quit with the desire to get a full fringe this summer. Having seen this on so many celebrities such as <i>Lea Michelle, Rihanna, Beyonce</i> & The Kardashian sisters <i>Kourtney & Kim.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still cannot <u>kick the habit</u> of wanting one so bad. Yet I still darent take the plunge & take a trip to the hair dressers?!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually if I cannot <i>stop thinking</i> about something, it bugs the life out of me until I finally say to myself that <u>enough is enough</u> & I give in to my <b>desire.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so <u>particular</u> about my hair after years of supporting the <i>posh bob</i>. Its taken me<b> 2 years</b> to get it at mid length, although I have the undying dream of <i>long kardashian locks</i> I am not much closer to that either.<br />
I usually go through phases where I want to <u>change everything</u> & this is definitely one of those phases. Having just slapped on the <i>ombre kit</i> & created a summer dip dye look, you'd think I'd be <u>satisfied</u>.<br />
C'mon be honest when are we <b><u>EVER</u></b> satisfied, as a species us ladies are <i>NEVER</i> happy image wise.<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(I blame the media..dont you?)</span></i><br />
<br />
So after months of <i>buggin my friends</i> with the endless questions of <u>should I? shouldn't I?</u><br />
&<br />
my mums definitely <b>worn out</b> with the idea, she no longer cares..<br />
So iv resorted to asking you lovely lot. After all you<i> love eat, live & breathe beauty, fashion & hair</i><br />
like me!<br />
My lovely friend I quote said<br />
<u>"What do you want bangs for it's not 2008!?"</u><br />
<br />
My little <u>confession</u> is I have had bangs before.<br />
But when I had them last time although I<b> loved</b> them, I was told they made me look <u>younger</u> & didn't suit me as much as having a middle parting did.<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(But everyones got a middle parting these days..)</span></i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Heres the picture of me with the <i>bangs in full swing</i>!<br />
I am wearing <u>extensions</u> here, this was throughout the stage of <b>growing out</b> the lovely bob. I have also lost a lot of <u>weight</u> & I have a much <u>slimmer face</u> now & I am dying to give this look another go..<br />

After hearing that Riri was going to <i>release her spin off</i> of MAC's Original lipstick shade <u>'Up The Amp'</u> I was <i>very excited</i> to get my hands on this<b> little treasure</b>. Rihanna has released <i>3 Retro Matte lipsticks</i>. Which is by far my<i> favorite finish</i> on the lips. Gives such a <b>bold</b> look, even though the formula is a little drying its nothing my <i>little chap lip remedy</i> can't sort out.<br />

Up The Amp is definitely one of my <i>favorite lipsticks</i> to wear. I adore <b>purple lipstick</b> I think its so bold & enough people <u>don't </u>sway towards them as much as <i>they should</i>. I reckon you should <u>chuck the pinks away</u> this summer & autumn as <i>purple</i> is set to take the <b>highstreet & catwalk by storm</b>.</div>

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

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although the two are almost<i> identical shades</i>, they're too very different finishes, the Up The Amp Amplified lippy has a high shine to it & is rich in nourishment when applied it wears off after a 2/3 hours & after eating. However the Retro Matte lippy is indestructible & can last all day even after eating. Its that tough it doesnt even transfer on to glasses. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(My glasses/teacups are definitely always lipstick stained...oops!)</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I definitely think for anyone that was itching to get their hands on MAC's <u>Heroine lipstick</u> that was released earlier on in the year in <i>MAC's limited edition Fashionista Sets</i> & you missed out on the must have shade. Then this is a <i>perfect compromise</i>, as it has a matte finish & more of a <i>purple pigment</i> than pink. RiriBoy & Up The Amp is great when you clash it out with a <u>green liner</u> or <i>eye shadow</i>. It really <b>compliments</b> the purple & <i>enhances</i> your eyes too no matter what <u>colour eyes you have.</u></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is RiriBoy <i>applied on the lips</i>, it think even though everyones natural lip colouring is <u>different</u> this shade will <i>definitely look purple</i> on any tone. I am<b> very pleased</b> with the colour that Riri has created, I can see this being a new <u>favorite shade</u> for the summer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>So is this colour worth having over Up The Amp?</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well luckily for me my Up The Amp has seen it's <u>better days</u> so I was due a <i>refresh</i> anyway. If you love Matte finishes then I'd definitely be <i>keen to pick this up</i> when it's released for the <u>second time</u> this year in MAC stores.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However if you <b>cant wait</b> till then...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then<i> definitely</i> give Up The Amp a try its a <u>great colour</u> & has a great finish. However this does tend to look Pinker on some peoples lips than others thats the <u>only flaw</u> of the product.</div>

After the entire hype behind the <u>Riri Hearts MAC collection</u>, I was extremely tempted to get Riri Woo. But having already purchased <i>Ruby Woo</i> & hearing there was <i>not much difference</i>. I decided to just pick up <b>RiriBoy & Heaux</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heaux Sold out within<u> 5 minutes of it's launch</u>. This really <i>surprised me</i> I would have thought RiriBoy would have had a <u>higher demand</u>. I was lucky enough to get<i> my hands</i> on both & They're currently on their way to being <i>dispatched </i>as soon as I get my <u>hands on them </u>you guys will be the <i>first to see them</i> in swatches & on the lips. I will give a <i>full review</i> on the <b>retro matte lipsticks</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However after meeting up with my lovely best friend <u>Emma</u> for a spot of <i>late night shopping </i>& talking all things <i>MAC & Riri,</i> Emma was lucky enough to get <u>Ririwoo</u> on it's first release earlier on in the year in<b> May</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had me <i>itching at the seems</i> to find a <u>dupe</u>. However with it being such a <u>chalky finish</u>, it would be very hard to drop down my local drugstore & <i>pick up a retro matte finish.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had heard there wasnt <i>much difference</i> in the two shades at all. <b>Ririwoo</b> has a <i>slightly bluer undertone</i> to Ruby. So I decided id try this <u>cheeky little trick</u> which once I'd tried this out I felt it would be<b> rude</b> not to share this <u>hidden treasure</u> with you lot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLpFlloJi4TlJJS1FaezCMhraSIJiN3-XzsmOBQTK3IVcfswih6FLm5myUgxBcZmiDTPMIdMwoba9PlZseDGAGycmQe-WfO1G9GmxTaXxTUJdGyOrVvWZhN-6fqFwtFUDgCSXR5TlUW1Y/s1600/IMG_1286.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLpFlloJi4TlJJS1FaezCMhraSIJiN3-XzsmOBQTK3IVcfswih6FLm5myUgxBcZmiDTPMIdMwoba9PlZseDGAGycmQe-WfO1G9GmxTaXxTUJdGyOrVvWZhN-6fqFwtFUDgCSXR5TlUW1Y/s320/IMG_1286.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<i><br /></i>
<i>Sussed out which one is Ruby Woo on it's own?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is indeed the <b>Top swatch</b>.. I have teamed it up below with a darkish red<i> blue toned lip liner</i> which gives off an extremely <u>close</u> match to <b>Riri!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When applying the liner <u>carefully</u> mark out the <i>shape of your lips</i> & fill in the rest of the lip evenly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The take your <b>MAC favorite</b> red <u>Ruby Woo</u> & pile it on the top.. to get the <i>Ririwoo Look</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked up a very handy <i>Rimmel Lip liner</i> in the shade <u>'061 Wine'</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This comes in a lead pencil texture & is very sharp, its easy to apply accurately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The only thing I would say is do not apply <i>too much pressure</i> when applying the product to the lips as it does tend to <u>break away easily</u>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The trick is to firstly <b>outline the shape</b> of your lips before filling in your lips <i>entirely with the liner</i>. Not too harsh as it can cause even <i>more difficulty</i> when applying Ruby Woo.</div>

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

For years I have been a loyal user of the foundation brought to you by <i>MAC Cosmetics.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which goes by the name of <u>'Studio Fix'.</u><br />
Which comes in at the price of <u>£20.50</u><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Anyone remember when this treasure was £19.50?)</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This foundation I personally think is the most used foundation by MAC especially when people are looking for an <i>affordable foundation</i> brought to you from a counter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rather then heading down the Boots or Superdrug, us ladies are <u>very particular</u> on what we put on our face. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all it's your daily canvas for you to <i>paint everyday</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're anything like me, once iv found a brand I like I tend to stick to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u>(It's like being in a relationship... with mac)</u></i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However like all great love tragedies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me & Studio Fix foundation have decided it was time to <u>call it a day</u>.</div>

Studio Fix Fluid comes with SPF 15 protection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wore this product in NC37.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found that this foundation was quite a thick based product. With summer in full swing I decided to take a trip down to the MAC Counter & see if they could offer me anything more<i> lightweight</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had found whilst wearing Studio Fix in hot weather it would often go <u>patchy</u> on my face & require daily <i>touch ups</i> even with a <u>primer</u>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although this product did give a <u>flawless finish</u> & I would recommend this product if you're after something that will cover <i>skin imperfections easily</i>. Or you're after a foundation for a night out that will last for a good <u>few hours</u>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then this is definitely worth having, just bare in mind you have to<u> always</u> have this swimming in your <i>handbag</i>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even toying with the idea of having a try of <i>Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation</i> & reading loads of reviews & blogs on the product saying it does<u> exactly what it says on the tin</u>, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However when I took a <i>sneaky peek</i> at this product it seemed to have a <u>thick consistency</u> as well</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
&</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldnt cheat on MAC im far too faithful..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I was recommended Mac's <u>"Pro-Long Wear Foudation"</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which comes in at the slightly higher price of <u>£24.00</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Not a huge price difference, I figured it was worth the risk..)</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the<i> pro</i><i>mise</i> I could wear this all day & it would <u>withstand anything</u> I threw at it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>So far it's proving itself to me.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pro-Long Wear comes with an SPF of 10, slightly lower than Studio Fix but luckily for me this is Britain & We do not often see much sun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked up this in shade NC35. Which is <i>surprising</i> since Ive been wearing NC37 for <u>years</u>. But this definitely suited me <u>a lot</u> more </div>
Complete with it's own pump, this product has more than won me over.<br />
Its<i> very lightweight</i> consistency means you literally need <u>no more</u> than 2 pumps for a full face even coverage.<br />
It has quite a runny texture & is very easy to spread evenly with your favorite applicator brush!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the product when applied on my skin tone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This literally does last all day & Im not just saying that, it really<i> surprised me</i>. I am left with a <u>flawless finish</u> at both<i> the start & the end</i> of the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have often had customers ask me what foundation I'm wearing whilst at work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even on the areas that tend to sweat if its a little sticky outside or you have a bust air-conditioning unit...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(like we do..at work!)</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This product is literally <u>indestructible</u> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also team this up with a '<u>Select Sheer</u>' pressed powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which comes in at the price of <u>£20.00</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This product has a very translucent texture, it does have a <i>slight</i> colouring to it to blend in with your foundation. I picked up this in shade NC40, which is a few tones <u>darker</u> than my foundation. It gives me <i>slightly more colour</i>, I have a very <b>red</b> undertone across the <u>T section</u> of my face, which is hard to cover with <i>just</i> foundation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However I only tend to use <i>a few dabs</i> of this on the sponge that comes with the product simply for the <u>matte finish</u> it gives my skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It also helps keep my foundation <u>set in place</u> for the<i> day.</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For me this product works a lot more than Studio Fix & in my eyes Pro-Long Wear is a very underestimated MAC secret.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am totally converted to this foundation now, I will be re-purchasing it <u>time & time over.</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since using the product the improvement to my skin has been evidently obvious too. I have received a lovely <u>clear up</u> of blemishes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Which is good for all us ladies, no-one likes a <u>cracking spot</u>! ..YIKES)</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u>Will you be throwing your foundation away for some Pro-Long Wear?</u><br />
<br />
<u>Will this withstand your wild lifestyle?</u><br />
<br />
Pop down to your <i>local counter</i> & ask the lovely assistants for a <u>tester pot</u>.<br />
&<br />
See if <i>'Pro Long Wear'</i> can handle anything you throw at it.<br />
I'll be very surprised if you don't fall <u>head over heels</u> for this<i> lightweight</i> beauty!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After seeing Khloe Kardashian & Lea Michelle rocking the Ombre look this season. I was dying to get my Ombre fix & try out this wild look. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did look at getting this done professionally, however it's ridiculously over priced. It comes in at around <u>£70-£80+</u>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Imagine all the MAC lipsticks I could have with that $$$) </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really fancied something <i>different for the summer</i> <i>season</i> & as my hairs so dark it would be very hard to lift it all to a light brown tone, so I decided this was the <u>perfect</u> compromise!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

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

As you can tell from the picture my hair is of a medium/dark brown. </div>

<i><b>Step 1</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly you add the <u>lightening powder</u> to the creme.</div>
<div style="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;">
This is a very small light white powder very similar consistency to talc & it gets everywhere so make sure you've got down an old dark towel. </div>

This is a metal tube that consists of thick creme that has the strong typical hair dye smell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Makes my eyes water)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After <u>squeezing</u> the entire tube<i> away</i> & rolling it down like the end of a toothpaste tube.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Step 3</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally apply the nozzle to the top of the developer creme applicator tightly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Start shacking the mixture horizontally by rolling it in your hands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(shaking vigorously can cause the mixture to raise to the top of the nozzle & explode out of the top when the tiny nozzle is removed)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 4</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Twist off the tip of the applicator & squeeze the mixture into the brush until all the bristles are covered. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Start the application by brushing the dye on to dry unwashed hair from the length down your hair you've decided </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
&</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
blend it <u>accurately </u>making sure you've<i> covered both outer and inner</i> sections of the hair.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you're happy with the amount of hair thats covered repeat it on the other side of your hair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you've got the accuracy right on both sides, <i>squeeze the excess</i> in the bottle into the palms of your hands <u>wearing gloves</u> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
apply the <i>mixture heavily & evenly</i> to the ends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to leave a little of the dye left in the bottle in case of a second application.</div>

After applying the mixture to the ends take the ends of your hair & tie them together at the font of your face below your chin.</div>

(yes you do look very strange, but it makes it a little fun!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pop your ends into a carrier bag whilst the dye develops.</div>

You are advised to leave the dye on for <u>25 to 45 minutes</u>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasted this amount of time listening to a mixture of <i>beyonce classics</i> & blurred lines<b> on repeat..</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to leave my dye on for the <i>maximum recommended time</i> of <u>45 minutes.</u> I rinsed away the dye with warm water, before shampooing I wanted to be sure on the raised colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately I wasn't overly thrilled with the colour that my hair had bleached up to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I gave my locks a <u>15 min rest.</u> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(after all.. aint no rest for the blessed..)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before tackling the dye again, <u>this time</u> because the bleach was already blended and was clear to see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added the mixture to the palms of my hands & <i>slapped the dye on again</i> for a further </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>45 mins.</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(Yes.. I'm surprised I have any hair left, guess this is the thick haired blessing..)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I washed away the dye this time properly & used the conditioner that came with the kit, which actually left my hair very soft.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Someone call a Doctor because I'm definitely suffering from<b> "Orange Fever"</b>..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's one of the <u>hot</u> on trend colours for this summer is <i>Orange</i>, along with the <i>amazing neon colours</i> that have been taking the<u> highstreet by storm.</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However Orange seems to have me <u>hooked</u>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>OF COURSE</i>.. MAC decided to release a complete Orange collection.. obviously called..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><u>"ALL ABOUT ORANGE"</u></b></i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Limited Edition bundle was<u> NOT</u> to be missed, although there was 7 new shades & I literally was very close to having them all, I decided to think logically ..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">for once</span></i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Narrowed it down to 2.. well 3 in the end..<i>oops</i>!</div>

After wanting Morange for months I held out for the<i> All about orange collection</i> & it was <u>worth the wait</u>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first colour that caught my eye was Neon Orange. Iv been waiting for a bright orange lipstick to team up with a <u>bronzed Eye</u></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Neon Orange is highly pigmented a<i> nourishing orange</i> & a <u>high red</u> underlay tone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everyone's natural lip colouring differs so this shade can sway to looking more orange on some individuals than others. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Shade is from the <b>Amplified</b> range, It's <i>hard wearing</i> & long lasting, stays in place.. <u>even</u> after <i>eating.</i> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second shade I got my hands on was Tart'n'Trendy. I had to have <i>both of these shades</i>, they're very similar, but I'm very <u>bad</u> at making decisions..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">when in doubt... always get both!</span></i>)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tart'n'Trendy is part of MAC's <u>Lustre range</u>. I don't have many shades in this range as I find it's <u>quite sticky </u>when applied on the lips. However this shades <b>surprised me</b> & It's not sticky at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(<u>yay!</u>)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's not as<i> hard wearing</i> as Neon Orange, but it looks great, it has the<b> upper hand</b> because it's more of a pale shade & when applied on any<i> natural lip</i> you are <u>guaranteed</u> an high pigmented orange summery lipstick, that will compliment<b> <u>any</u></b> skin tone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly.. <b>Sushi Kiss</b>..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually left the MAC counter <u>without</u> this shade & after my best friend buying it, I<i> couldnt resist it</i> & I had to go <b>back</b> for it..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily I was having a clear out & I came across<u><i> 6 MAC</i></u> empties. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this little beauty <u>didn't</u> even cost me<i> one penny</i>!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's definitely a peachy orange & is really similar to MAC's once limited edition released<i> 'Real Sexy'</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This shade is part of the <i>Satin</i> range, which is without a doubt one of my <u>favorite</u> MAC finishes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It really compliments <u>any</u> skin tone, but looks <u>particularly striking</u> when applied with a<i> bronzed look.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Getting sick of the typical hair style <i>switch up</i> between <u>straight</u> &<i> curly</i>?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now is the time more than ever that<b> big hair</b> has come back into style, We've seen it all over the <i>red carpet</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ladies the<i> bigger</i>, the <u>better..</u> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>We've seen fohawks, quiffs, tight curls & big curls.</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well now it's <i>summer..</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(well <u>allegedly</u> it's summer..) & theres nothing <b>sexier</b> than a beach wave look on a<i> hot holiday</i>. Team it up with a white cami & your <u>favorite</u> summer <i>short</i> shorts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However this is<u> Britain</u> so I often find myself going for this look in the <b>hope</b> we actually might get some <i>sunshine.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(so far it's not happening.. but ill <u>stay </u>optimistic)</span> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have <u>a lot</u> of hair, some people would think it's a <i>blessing,</i> I know id moan if I had <u>fine hair</u> but it takes me a <i>ridiculously</i> long time to wave my hair <u>with 3 barrel wavers</u>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have a <i>cheeky</i> little <u>cheat</u> for all you<i> thick haired</i> ladies out there like myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">shh.. it's our secret</span></i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After washing my hair, I towel dry it off & whilst watching some trash on the tv</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(usually coronation street)</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will part my hair into a middle parting, because thats where i usually have my hair parted </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
unless I'm feeling <i>spontaneous</i> & <b>fancy</b> the <u>side fringe</u>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I section my hair in half at either sides of my head & begin to tightly braid my hair into pigtail plaits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNqTORPsRnRhZqM6Hlb2MGBIbYlftRJD6X_NTIX1qkXRNysrhBeY1eup2FX8iaxtuMrFhIX517Fx-vutjG2wtKPEk1lBo4SzpKrKA038ZWNEZMGxclAhqZqUaoDF9wRdsbF-lnUm1yxa4/s1600/IMG_1117.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNqTORPsRnRhZqM6Hlb2MGBIbYlftRJD6X_NTIX1qkXRNysrhBeY1eup2FX8iaxtuMrFhIX517Fx-vutjG2wtKPEk1lBo4SzpKrKA038ZWNEZMGxclAhqZqUaoDF9wRdsbF-lnUm1yxa4/s320/IMG_1117.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tend <u><b>not</b></u> to use a <i>french braid</i> as I find you get more <b><u><i>volume</i></u></b> when applying the <u>wavers</u> to the <i>top</i> of the <i><u>head</u></i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This cheat works<b> best</b> if you do it before bed & <u>sleep with damp braids</u> in the morning untie the braids & you will have waved ends, <i>simply apply</i> the wavers to the top</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>&</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>you're good to go</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

However if you have shorter hair or thinner hair. You can pop down to your local<i> Superdrug</i>,<i> Boots</i> or <i>Argos</i> and pick up a set of these amazing 3 barrel wavers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They're usually reasonably priced of about<i><u> £35.00</u></i> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With everything else us ladies are<u> stereotypically</u> known for, we ultimately cannot resist a bargain. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& believe you me ladies.. <i>Junes done me proud</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After trailing the internet searching for a new bag. I literally thought I had my<i> heart set on</i> a bright orange '<i>tote bag</i>' from<u> Zara</u>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately there was more chance of handcuffing myself to a ghost than getting my hands on that bargain it comes in<u><i> £22.99</i></u> which is <u>amazing</u> value for <u>Zara.</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>This is definitely still extremely high on my wish list!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, like every true fairy-tale of a shopper.. there was a<i> happy ending!</i> I was strolling through the <u>Trinity Leeds</u> shopping centre, <i>scouting in and out</i> of shop windows like I usually do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Earphones in..Beyonce on loud..</span></i>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took a sneak peak into the <u><b>Mango</b></u> window & there was <u>huge</u> savings on handbags.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bag I currently have is a Nude Mango bag, to be fair it's seen its better days. I decided to treat myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(<u>as the saying goes</u>.. <i>out with the old.. in with the new</i>!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year iv gone completely out of my comfort zone & done away with the typical <u>Tan bag</u> & typical <u>monochrome</u> clash up of <i>black & white</i> on a <b>daily basis</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But i'm definitely a mucky pup & often <u>do not</u> trust myself with <b>white</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But when I caught this little <i>beauty</i> off the shelf, there was<i><u> no way</u></i> I was leaving the store <u>without it.</u></div>

& It's<b> real leather</b>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It comes with a off grey lining & has the classic<i><u> Mango</u></i> branding on the inside. Which I prefer i'm very particular about<i><u> branded products</u></i> and often sway away from anything that's <u>heavily branded</u>. </div>

So this week iv been hitting the <u>highstreet</u>, after all it's been payday, iv worked hard & that always justifies a <i>shopping splurge.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>.... </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am definitely big on chunky gold necklaces at the minute, they're great to team up with something plain to instantly add <i>glam</i> & dress a casual outfit up. After falling in love with New Looks jewellery <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>range a few months ago, after them running their<u> buy one get one free</u> promotion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">which they should really bring back..</span></i>) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However after resisting buying the most amazing coral wedges.. (which i may have to go back for...oops!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I decided to pick up two necklaces instead .</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(<span style="font-size: x-small;">i don't understand my logic here either?</span>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One was from the New look limited edition range, it has a black rope chain. which is different for me, I do not own anything remotely similar. It's a very bold & heavily detailed neckpiece, despite the high detailing it's very <i>light weight</i> & comfortable to wear, it will look <i><u>AMAZING</u></i> under a shirt collar though!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This amazing piece is <b>Limited Edition</b> & it's <i>selling fast</i>, ladies waste no more time & get yourselves down the highstreet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This necklace is available for <u>£14.99</u>. </div>

The next glamourous gold necklace I couldn't resist is slightly more of a bargain price. It's from New Look again. But this one comes in at <u><i>£6.99</i></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This piece is definitely light weight, it's more of a every day necklace. But it could still dress something up. But I was after something to dress up a plain-ish top </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">I own a lot of plain tops.. due to being so fussy</span></i>)</div>

I simply adore topshop's freedom jewellery range & when I purchase from this range it's a definite treat. I was really fancying something<u> unusual</u>. Preferably something that could tie in with the <i>massive jungle theme</i> which is on<b> trend</b> at the minute </div>

I dropped on this absolutely gorgeous piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has a real african jungle theme to it & i've not seen anything remotely similar on the highstreet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I literally could <b>NOT</b> leave this on the shelf. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This piece was a <u><i>small fortune</i></u> it comes in at <i><u>£16.50</u></i></div>

This Shade is a <u>deep purple</u> shade with a high pink <i>underlay pigment</i>. Everyones natural lip colouring varies so of course this colour looks different on many skin tones. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After many people recommending this shade to me, telling me it would really compliment my olive skin tone. I was <u>finally</u> won over</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i> but with MAC lipstick's it really doesn't take much to persuade me</i> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was slightly concerned after reading many reviews on this colour that when applied it looks more pink than purple. This was the only thing that was making me doubt picking up this shade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u style="font-style: italic;">LUCKILY</u> my natural lip colouring was on my side & I definitely have <b><u>fallen in love</u></b> with this shade.</div>

<b>FINALLY!</b>.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a month of trailing from counter to counter chasing the entire 3 lipsticks MAC were offering in there limited edition fashionista set. As I casually stroll past Harvey Nicholas on my way to work <i>(I have to resist temptation .. but sometimes it's ok to be a rebellion.. right?) </i>So I dropped in this definitely must have been my lucky day because there was all 3 colours left in stock. Despite having an extremely large lipstick collection I could<u> NOT</u> give these 3 amazing matte colours a miss!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is by far the boldest collection MAC have released & I was desperate to get my fashionista fix! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The collection consists of 3 Matte Lipsticks in the Shades above.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heroine was the colour I was itching to get my hands on the most. it's a Matte purple that gives a dramatic finish and looks amazing when applied. It's a highly pigmented purple with a slight pink underlay tone.. <u>MAC's</u> Amplified '<i>Up The Amp</i>" is a similar, but it has a more dominate pink pigment to it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Below is a swatch of the colour.</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Mac have released this colour before this time was it's <u>second</u> appearance.. isn't the saying 3rd time lucky? <b>Fingers crossed </b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ablaze is a Matte orangey/red colour. It's highly a pigmented orange with a red underlay base. This colour looks amazing on olive skin tone, dark hair & dark eyes,Whenever I wear this shade I get a bunch of compliments & I'm forever sending ladies to the MAC counter for shades <b>similar</b> such as <i>"Vegas Volt"</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last but by all means least.. Embrace Me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lovely lady at the counter actually suggested this to me, it wasn't a colour I was itching to have, However I am a sucker for anything Limited Edition & having there was only one left it <u>definitely</u> had <i>my name on it!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The girl convinced me by saying it really compliments olive skin tones. I am not a lover of Pink shades on myself. But after my <u><b>Nana</b></u> stealing my Candy Yum Yum lipstick</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(<i>which was also limited edition at one point!</i>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I figured I'd give Embrace Me a try instead.</div>

Embrace me is very similar to Candy Yum Yum, but it has a blue underlay pigment. Its a warmer pink tone but still has a <u>fierce</u> level of brightness to give a <b>dramatic</b> finish to any look!</div>

Well as we all know the change in weather does nothing for our lips ladies.. & right now the British weather is typically showing it's <u>true colours</u> & has no clue what to do with itself.. (<em>the usual</em>!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I always suffer with chapped lips due to the lovely air conditioning in my work place, I found that the cracks were not only deeply uncomfortable and painful. It's not an attractive look when applying your favourite MAC lipstick or lipglass. (<em>which you know I cannot go a day without wearing</em>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After doing research online and finding out the only home remedy solutions invovled sugar and lemon, I struggled to think about carrying that around in my handbag amoungst the other junk in there.. it's just a NO GO!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So i took a quick trip to my favourite smelling shop on the highstreet....<em> Lush Cosmetics</em>! </div>

Where I found some 'Lip Scrub' I was advised by the Sales Assistant to try the "Sweet Lips" flavor as this had the most affect on chapped lips, It is available in other flavors such as bubblegum, popcorn & mint. They're priced at £5.25 for 25g.</div>

After having my ear chewed off about how the Lush Scrub compliments and works better with the selection of luxury lip balms and creams they offer. I stood strong and stuck by my old faithful "Burts Bees" Lip Balm. This also comes in an array of flavors such as Peppermint, Coco-butter & my <i>personal favorite</i> Mango</div>
