Daily Skincare Routine<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-weight: normal;">How long has it been? Emma has been so busy with life, working and also getting engaged(!) that her blog had to take the back seat for a while. So, being Emma's younger sister I've decided to help her out a little and co-run Emma's blog with her and hopefully post more often. My name is </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-weight: normal;">Amy</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-weight: normal;"> and you can find more about me on the About page.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm under the impression that in order to have a great base for any makeup you have to take care of what is underneath - your skin. You really can't love your skin enough!</span></div>
<div>

<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fA9iHLmgf1Y/WPZLD52HrLI/AAAAAAAAA10/0sn7X4XgnaA/%25255BUNSET%25255D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" id="id_1781_adc_bbcf_2f36" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fA9iHLmgf1Y/WPZLD52HrLI/AAAAAAAAA10/0sn7X4XgnaA/%25255BUNSET%25255D.png" style="height: auto; width: 298px;" title="" tooltip="" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Step One<i>:</i></b> In order to take care of my skin I <u>always</u> remove my makeup before I go to sleep. This is absolutely essential to stop your pores becoming blocked and letting your skin breathe. To remove my makeup I use Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water and a cotton pad. This literally attracts to your makeup making it super easy to remove.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Step Two:</b> Following that, I use a new cotton pad and go in with a toner. I've just bought this Garnier SkinActive Soothing Botanical Toner today and can't wait to try it out. It's new on the market this month and contains rose water which is well known for it's skin loving properties. Again, I've chosen the dry and sensitive product type but they also do a product for normal/combination skin and dry/very dry skin. Before this, I used L'oreal's Skin Perfection Velvety-Soft Toner. Like the name says, it really does have a velvet like feel on the skin and is worth trying out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A lot of people skip this stage in their skincare routine but it is important! Toning after you cleanse will help to remove impurities and excess oil, especially after wearing makeup.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Step Three:</b> Then when my skin is clear I go in with L'oreal's Triple Active Moisturiser for dry and sensitive skin (noticing a pattern here?). This moisturiser is relatively thick in texture considering it is a day cream but you can tell it really works. I use this at night too because I find it lends enough moisture to my skin without being too heavy. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And there you go. My daily night time skin care routine. For my daytime skincare routine I just take out the initial Micellar Water stage and go straight into toning. Do you have any favourite products for looking after your skin? Do you have any of Garnier's new SkinActive range? Let me know in the comments.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As we have entered autumn and will be fast approaching winter, if like me, you like to whip out those darker toned lipsticks, here are a few of my favourite picks for A/W. T-B.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>L'oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in 'Julianne's Pure Red'</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My perfect Christmas Red. When I look at this one, I think Christmas parties and pub gatherings. It is an orange toned red so looks lovely on those with a bit of a tan, but pretty much anyone can pull it off. A pure matte red, so ex-foliation of your lips before application is essential. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rimmel Lasting Finish Kate Moss Lipstick in '31'</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A real dark berry colour with a smell of sweeties. Wear it lightly for a lovely wash of berry colour or layer it to create a real deep plum colour ideal for those autumnal evenings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>MAC 'Rebel'</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The autumn/winter must have lipstick. Looks amazing on everyone. Wear it lightly for a lovely pinky shade or built it up to create an amazing purple berry lip. Super long lasting so ideal for nights out and being a satin finish, it doesn't dry out your lips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>MAC 'Patisserie'</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The nude that can take you from season to season with it's light hint of peachy pink colour and subtle glitter, ideal for wear any time of the year. Definitely a 'your lips but better shade'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>MAC 'See Sheer'</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 'I want to wear red but I'm not brave enough' lipstick. A red lipstick with a lustre finish, which gives you a lovely wash of red but not too intense if you're not brave enough to pull of a true matte red just yet. Another super long lasting lipstick, so great for nights out when no re-applying is needed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I came across <b>Smashbox's Full Exposure Travel Size Palette </b>accidentally when I was browsing the Boots website recently. I'd never seen the travel version of the full exposure palette before so I thought I'd try it out and add it to my basket. Surprisingly, I haven't ever really tried anything from Smashbox cosmetics before besides their Photofinish Primer, so when I spotted this gorgeous travel sized eyeshadow palette I was intrigued. Reviews online were few and far between so I was excited to get it home to try out. Knowing how amazingly pigmented other Smashbox eyeshadows are, I had high exceptions for the palette and I wasn't disappointed. At first glance the palette boasts eight square eyeshadows, four shimmer and four matte shades. They range from brown's and bronzes to a dark grey/purple. Swatching these shadows, they feel extremely velvety when applied to your skin and they have great lasting power. They have every colour you'd need in a travel palette including a crease and highlight colour. I love the design of this palette - black, glossy and sleek packaging. It is super thin making it exceptionally travel friendly without losing eyeshadow. I would definitely recommend this palette if you are a fan of your bronze colours and need a palette which is travel friendly. I just wish I had discovered it sooner!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">During summer your skin is subject to UV rays even when the sunshine shining and your skin faces a lot of harmful elements everyday so it is vital you take good care of it, especially when you are on holiday. I have picked a few of my favourite holiday skincare products which I swear by and will be using to ensure my skin is safe and moisturised whilst tanning in the sunshine.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Piz Buin</b> is one of my favourite brands for sun cream. They have such a huge range of different products which are all aimed at doing different things but they are range from light sprays to oils and creamy sun creams. I have chosen to take away their <b>Moisturising Sun Lotion with SPF 15</b> and their <b>Ultra Light Hydrating sun spray with SPF 30.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

I also love <b>Hawaiian Tropic</b> skincare products which is also a well known brand and cater for all skin types. I have chosen to take away with me, their <b>Protective Dry Oil Spray SPF 10</b>. This spray helps create a lovely tan whilst protecting your skin from harmful sun rays. Sometimes you can overdo it in the sunshine and when this happens I lather on the after sun. I swear by <b>Hawaiian Tropic's After Sun Cool Aloe Gel</b> which has a calming, cool affect on sunburn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also like to ensure my face is refreshed and moisturised so I will be taking <b>The Body Shop's Vitamin C's Glow Boosting Moisturiser</b>. I love the feel of this moisturiser on my skin and it soaks in quickly without leaving a greasy residue behind.</div>

I would have never of thought to write a post reviewing a toothbrush on my blog but when I bought this Oral B toothbrush, I knew I had to write about it. I recently bought <b><u>Oral B's Pro 600 Toothbrush with Floss Action by Braun.</u></b> It claims to penetrate and clean deep between teeth removing up to 100% more plaque. The toothbrush is rechargeable and comes with a chargeable station which plugs into the wall and charges in-between brushing. It claims the battery lasts 7 days but I have kept mine on charge in-between uses just because it looks tidy standing up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The toothbrush itself has a number of features which make brushing your teeth so easy. The round head (which is changeable and compatible with a number of heads), pulsates, rotates and oscillates cleaning every tooth exceptionally well. The toothbrush has a waterproof handle and a charge level display so you know when it is running low. You turn the toothbrush on with a small button on the front. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the main things I noticed when using this toothbrush is how clean my mouth felt compared to using a manual toothbrush. The freshness lasted a lot longer than brushing with a standard toothbrush. I don't think I will ever revert back to a regular toothbrush now I have discovered how fresh my mouth can feel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can buy <u><b>Oral B Pro 600 Floss Action</b></u> toothbrush from Boots at a discounted price of <u><b>£24.99 </b></u>from £49.99.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everyone likes to look their best during summer when clothes are less and legs are out. Getting soft, glowing skin ready for summer is easy with these <b>2 simple steps:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Step 1: Exfoliate</u> -</b> This step is essential to having soft skin. There is no point slathering the moisturiser on without exfoliating as this will most likely be moisturising dead skin which sounds disgusting, but is true. My top picks for exfoliators are <b>Soap and Glory's Sugar Body Scrub </b>or <b>The Body Shop's Virgin Mojito Body Scrub</b>.<b> </b>Pick something with sugar as this will remove dead skin without aggravating the skin. It's also nice to use scented scrubs so they leave your skin smelling extra lovely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step 2: Moisturise</u> - After exfoliating, it's time to moisturise your skin. It's up to you how you go about this, whether you use a light cream, a thick lotion or a fruity body butter. One of my favourites is <b>Butter Yourself Moisture Lotion </b>from <b>Soap and Glory.</b> Their<b> Righteous Butter</b> is also a fantastic alternative as it's so buttery which moisturises your skin to leave it feel soft and hydrated ready for the summer months. It also smells amazing! I also love the <b>Body Shop Satsuma Body Butter</b> and <b>Dove's Body Lotions </b>from the drug store are also excellent and really affordable. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was recently contacted to review some new products by <a href="http://www.beautycrowd.com/pages/bell-cosmetics" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">'Bell Cosmetics'</a>* to test out and review. I am always excited to explore new products on the market so when these landed on my doorstep I was excited to give them a try. 'Bell Cosmetics' is a Polish make up company with over 30 years of experience in the beauty industry. They have recently launched a new hypo-allergenic range for sensitive skin exclusively in <b><a href="http://www.beautycrowd.com/" target="_blank">BeautyCrowd</a> </b>in the UK. The brand can be found in Beauty Crowd, (previously E.L.F store) in the Royal Arcade in Cardiff and at <a href="http://www.beautycrowd.com/">www.beautycrowd.com</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was sent a number of products including foundation, pressed powder, concealer, primer and mascara to test out. My first impression of the products were pleasing. The packaging was aesthetically pleasing - boxes are white and clean looking with clear writing stating what each product was. They all stated that they were hypo-allergenic and dermatologist approved so are ideal for sensitive skin types.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Bell Hypo-allergenic Matte and Smooth Make up Base - £7.95</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is essentially a primer which aims to smooth finish to your face in preparation to apply foundation. It also aims to create a smoother finish to your make up and improves durability of your make up. The product itself leaves a matte effect so you don't look oily. It is unscented and is suitable for all skin types. I really enjoy using primers especially if I know I have a long day ahead and I want my foundation to last. This primer seems to have a pink glowy look to it which makes your skin look radiant and glowing under foundation which is lovely for summertime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Bell Hypo-allergenic Matte and Soft Make up - £7.95</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next up is the foundation. I was sent this in the shade '02 Natural', which is a really good shade for me - it's not too light so matches me when I have a tan but it's not too dark making it difficult to blend. The foundation's consistency is creamy and light so ideal for summer because it's not too heavy. It provides a smooth finish to the skin and isn't too dewy but also isn't totally matte which is what I look for in a foundation. You can use it like a light BB cream or build it up to create a more flawless full coverage look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Bell Hypo-allergenic Matte Powder - £4.95</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The powder - delivered in a black compact case with a fluffy pad.The compact includes a mirror which is handy if you're taking it on the go. The compact opens up to reveal a fairly light powder - I think I have the shade '02' and it is embossed with the words 'Hypo-allergenic' which is a nice added detail. The powder is a lovely silky texture and feels velvety when applied to the face. Powders for me are quite hit and miss because I feel that they can cause your foundation to look patchy if not applied well or aren't high quality. However, this powder by Bell Cosmetics provides a matte finish all day without the need to touch up every hour throughout the day whilst making my skin look flawless!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Bell Hypo-allergenic Liquid Eye Concealer - £3.95</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I usually like a heavy duty concealer to cover up my blemishes or dark circles and this one is fantastic. The consistency is quite thick so you don't need much. It is presented in a clear bottle with a doe foot applicator. The concealer aims to adapt to your skin tone which I'm not entirely sure it does, but coverage-wise this concealer is ideal for those who love a flawless base. However, it isn't overly heavy that it looks cakey. It provides a radiant layer of make up to cover up any imperfections.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Bell Hypo-allergenic Thickening Mascara in 'Black' - £4.95</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not one for changing up my mascara so when I find a good one I stick with it. However, this could possibly be my new favourite. I really liked this mascara mainly due to it's applicator as its quite thin so its easily to apply without getting it all over my eyelids, which often happens when the brush is too big. It builds up product to make your eyelashes look fuller without looking clumpy. It creates just the right amount of volume and length whilst separating your lashes. This mascara also helped lessen the irritation I sometimes experience with my eyes at the end of the day when I've had mascara on a long time which was a lovely plus. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All these wonderful products are are available at <a href="http://www.beautycrowd.com/">www.beautycrowd.com</a> and if you're near Cardiff any time soon, pop into BeautyCrowd in Royal Arcade (previously E.L.F) to check out Bell Cosmetics and lots of other new and exciting make-up brands.</div>

Last Thursday I turned the grand old age of 22 and this year I decided to spend my birthday being pampered. My friend Katy booked us both in for a luxury spa day at the <b>Celtic Manor Hotel.</b> The Re-energiser spa deal included two treatments of your choice - we chose the <b>Jessica GELeration express pedicure</b> and <b>signature back, neck and shoulder massage. </b>It also included full use of all the facilities including the pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi which we used to our full advantage as well as complimentary use of slippers and robes. We were booked in for our treatments at 2.00pm so we decided to have a swim before and then arrived ready for our treatments 5 minutes prior. I had my pedicure first whereby I chose a pink glitter colour to be painted on my toes. I then enjoyed a massage, which was my first ever and it was wonderful. I felt so relaxed and sleepy afterwards. Each treatment lasted 25 minutes. The deal is running from the <b><u>1st-30th June</u></b>, costing only <b><u>£39.00</u></b> Monday to Thursday which is a great price considering it includes use of all facilities and two lovely treatments.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After we'd been pampered for few hours at the spa, we had booked ourselves in for afternoon tea at the <b>New Bridge on USK</b> - a quaint pub which overlooks the river USK. We enjoyed a spot of afternoon tea as we sat outside on the riverside and admired the beautiful view. The afternoon tea costs<b> £10.00 each</b> and included a pot of tea of your choice and a selection of cakes, which included welsh cakes, walnut cakes, mini Victoria sponges, chocolate cones and a scone with jam and clotted cream. We enjoyed our cakes and tea whilst we watched the salmon jumping about in the river and soaked up the glorious sunshine. A perfect way to spend my 22nd Birthday!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's not often that I state that a product is a 'need'. However <b><u>MAC lipstick in 'Rebel'</u></b> is an exception. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For those who own Rebel will understand how amazing it is, for those who don't, listen up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rebel is one of those lipsticks that suits everyone. You may be wondering how it that possible? Well Rebel is a satin finish so it provides the right amount of moisture but with amazing pigmentation. It looks pretty scary in the bullet as it looks extremely dark, quite 'vampy', which is definitely not my sort of shade. However when it's applied to the lips it provides a beautiful purple berry colour. It has the right amount of blue toned pink to purple and so it suits almost all skin tones. It is such a versatile lipstick as you can apply it straight from the bullet making it a dark berry colour when layered or with a brush to make it a sort of stain on the lips. Onto the lasting power...I can't comprehend the longevity of this lipstick. Applied mid evening, I still wake up with it on my lips the next morning even after removing my make up. Definitely a good lippy for a night out seen as there is no need to keep re-applying. An absolute favourite of mine. If you don't own it already, get yourself to MAC asap and swatch it!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'd seen some reviews online about the new <b>Vitamin C line</b> recently launched in <b><u>The Body Shop</u></b> and after reading about their new <b>Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser</b>, I really fancied giving it a try. The moisturiser is aimed at fighting the look of fatigued, dull skin and boosting radiance. It aims to moisturise the skin and give dull, tired skin a new glow. I often find that after wearing weeks of make-up to work my face can feel dull and unhappy so I thought this would be a great product to try and see whether my skin felt and looked more radiant. I suffer from oily skin and so when I tested this product in the shop I was happy to find than rather it being a heavy lotion formula, it was very much a lightweight gel/serum which wouldn't leave a greasy residue when applied. It smells faintly of mandarin which is a nice added touch and the packaging is very aesthetically pleasing - very similar to the famous Origins Gin Zing Moisturiser packaging but for half the price.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In addition to the Moisturiser (£16), I picked up their <b>Energising Face Spritz</b>, also from the same line. This was reduced down for some reason and I got it for the bargain price of just £5. I mainly picked this up due to the fact I am going abroad in the coming months and I thought it would be an ideal product to spritz on my face in the hot weather and make my skin feel refreshed after being in the sun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this post I thought I'd share a few things that I have been after for a few months and eventually given in and purchased as well as some essentials and others are just treats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's no shock that I have repurchased another product from The Body Shops' Tea Tree line after I have fallen in love with their foaming cleanser and Pore Minimiser I thought it was about time I tried another product from their line. This product is dispensed by pump and is a sort of serum/gel product. You are encouraged to apply it to your face and neck every evening before bed primarily on the areas which are prone to blemishes. The gel is aimed at fading/minimising the appearance of post-blemish marks and discolouration of the skin to give you clearer looking skin. I have yet to try this product but if its anything like the other products in the line I am going to love it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Rimmel Brow This Way Brow Sculpting Kit in 'Medium Brown'</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'd been using Maybelline's Brow Satin for a while but got sick of it snapping after a few uses so when I went to Boots to look for something else, I came across this Wax and Powder combination. The little set it so handy and small. It contains a little square of wax and another of brown powder. It also contains two little brushes, one for defining the brows and another to blend. It's something a little bit different for me as I am used to pencils so hopefully I'll fall in love with powder brows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>MAC Lip liner in 'Soar'</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also known as 'The Kylie Jenner Lip', MAC's Lip liner in 'Soar' has been one of this year's most popular products and has constantly been out of stock but luckily just by chance it had just been re-stocked in Bath. I knew it was time to purchase it before it sold out again. I can see why this is such a sort-after liner. It's a lovely soft rose/nude colour and like I have said before, MAC lip liners are very creamy which makes them a dream to apply and they don't dry out your lips. This liner would be an ideal shade for a matte look applied over the entire lip or as a base colour for another lipstick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>MAC Lipstick in 'Crosswires'</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have previously wrote a blog post specifically about this lipstick so I won't go into much detail. However, it is a beautiful pink/orange colour lipstick (it's hard to describe), and it is a cremesheen formula so it isn't too glossy but provides great colour pay off and like all MAC lipsticks last a heck of a long time. Definitely a must have if your flying off on holiday this summer and need a new lippy for those warm summer evenings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u> MAC x4 Eyeshadow Pro Palette and pan Eyeshadow in 'Naked Lunch'</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had previously bought a pro pan eyeshadow in the 'All That Glitters' with the intention of building up my own eyeshadow quad, so when I popped into MAC in Bath last weekend I took the opportunity to buy the palette which fits 4 eyeshadows inside. I also wanted to buy a shade that was similar to Naked 2 Palette's 'Bootycall' shade - a shade I have nearly used up as I love it for an all over the lid shade. The lovely girl in MAC showed me a few colours and recommended a lovely light beige shimmer shade called 'Naked Lunch'. I have been absolutely loving this shade since I bought it and I aim to buy a browny, taupe colour next to add to my palette.</div>

It was a few weeks ago that I passed the <b>Estee Lauder</b> counter in House of Fraser and just by chance picked up a tester of <b>Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess eau Fraiche Skinscent. </b>After a spritz<b> </b>I was in love. I picked up another tester in Debenhams the following week and knew I needed it for summer. I can only describe this scent as smelling of holidays. It has an underlying scent of coconut and fruitiness (if that is a word). I'd say it reminds me of pina coladas and mandarin. It's a summery and sensual scent which perfect for warm summer evenings. I was pleasantly surprised at the scent's lasting power considering it is a skin scent and not a parfum. The scent isn't overpowering but has that lovely undertone of coconut that people smell when they pass you. The packaging also adds to the holiday feel. This year's bottle is a yellow-orange ombre colour with glitter and the lid is gold. I can't believe I haven't purchased this scent before as it is the perfect scent for summer holidays. Go and get it before it sells out as it will be this summer's hottest scent!</div>

You can never have enough lipsticks right? That's what I say to myself when I spot a new lipstick that I want. I picked this beauty up on the weekend when I popped into <b>MAC </b>with a friend. While she was on the hunt for a new foundation, I swatched my way though the lipstick stand and came across this lovely orangey, red, lipstick called <b>'Crosswires'</b>. (As you can tell I'm not the best in describing colours). I have been after a coral-red lipstick for my holiday as I think it will look lovely against a tan and so when I swatched <b>'Crosswires'</b> I fell in love. It is the perfect red-orange colour without being too in your face. I originally thought it was a lustre finish because it has such a lovely sheen, but later found out it was cremesheen which is why it has such great colour payoff. I think <b>MAC </b>lipsticks are such fantastic quality and are definitely worth price tag of <b>£15.50.</b> I think next on my list is Vegas Volt - a beautiful coral lippy also ideal for a summer holiday.</div>

A few months ago I teamed up with a website called <a href="http://www.vouchercodespro.co.uk/" target="_blank">Vouchercodespro</a>. The website is a money saving site with money off vouchers, handy tips and helpful blog posts. Alongside a number of other bloggers I helped create an A-Z Beauty Glossary for the website. The glossary provides a comprehensive list from A-Z of numerous beauty tips and tricks and helpful beauty recommendations. The Glossary finally went live on the 20th May! I am so proud of the work that has gone into the glossary and would love for you to check out my contribution along with all the other wonderful bloggers who took the time to contribute their great ideas.</div>

You can check out the A-Z Glossary <a href="http://www.vouchercodespro.co.uk/beauty#u" target="_blank">HERE</a> to read up on all the amazing tips and tricks from the bloggers. You can find my post under the letter 'U' which talks about one of my favourite eyeshadow pallettes of all time.</div>

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate how beautiful this lipstick is? I honestly don't think I have ever owned such a luxurious product. A few months ago I entered <a href="http://sophiameola.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sophia Meola's</a> 3000 followers give-away competition and was lucky to win a Tom Ford lipstick of my choice. It was a difficult choice choosing between so many beautiful colours but in the end I decided to choose a colour which was easy to wear but still so pretty. After um'ing and arr'ing, I finally chose '04 Indian Rose' - a pretty, soft rosy pink colour. When I received it in the post, I opened it and was overwhelmed by how luxurious and expensive looking the packaging was. The lipstick felt heavy and the bullet itself smells of sweets. The lipstick's formula is creamy yet extremely long lasting and provides a sei matte finish which isn't drying on the lips. The added 'TF' embossed lettering in the top of the bullet just adds to the luxurious look and feel of the lipstick. Definitely a lipstick to splurge on, costing £37.00 it certainly isn't cheap but well worth the high end price tag.</div>

Many of us have products which we constantly reach for without noticing. We do this usually because they have performed so well for us in the past that we couldn't bear to use anything else. Here is a post of all the products which I am constantly reaching for because they are all just so wonderful. They are all fast becoming my 'holy-grail' favourites.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>The Body Shop Tea Tree Foaming Cleanser </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have mentioned this product from the body shop countless times on my blog as I adore it. It's such an easy product to use, applying a few pumps all over my face whilst in the shower makes cleansing my face super easy and quick. It is from The Body Shop's Tea Tree line and so is great for blemished skin which I can suffer from. At £5 it has fast become one of my all time favourite skincare must haves!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>MAC Lustre Lipstick in 'Patisserie'</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This lipstick has also been previously mentioned as I was lucky enough to receive this gorgeous lipstick as a Christmas gift and I have been in love ever since. It's a 'your lips but better' shade with a hint of shimmer. It is the perfect lipstick for all occasions and is my go-to work lipstick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was over the moon when I received the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette as an early Valentines Day gift a few years back. The palette is so versatile and with 12 shades of varying finish from matte to satin and shimmer, you are able to create numerous looks ideal for every occasion. I reach for this palette every day making it my holy grail eye-shadow palette without a doubt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I never would of thought this as a holy grail product of mine but when I really gave it some thought I realised this is a product I use a lot. I reach for it on every night out to give me a lovely natural looking tan and I use it lightly day to day to give my skin a natural bronzed glow. At only £4.99, it's affordable and great quality as I have never had a bad experience with it, (streaks, patchiness etc). Definitely a must have if your a fake tan lover like myself.</div>

<b>Rimmel Stay Matte Face Powder in '001 Transparent'</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A drug store favourite of mine and probably the best face powder I have ever used. After I apply it in the morning it keeps my face shine free for going on 8 hours. It's so affordable and even though the packaging looks a bit on the cheap side, the product outdoes itself making it my holy grail face powder.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Most of us have suffered from spots at some point in our life. Now that I'm a little older, I'm lucky that my skin has really cleared up and I feel confident in wearing no make-up. However, when I'm going out I like the 'flawless face' look where I have a sort of blank canvas to build up a look. In order to create a flawless face, I like to conceal blemishes and use a light or yellow based concealer under the my eyes to hide any dark circles I may have. These are the few products I use to create a flawless look ready to apply the rest of my make-up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First off I like to apply a moisturiser all over my face to make my foundation glide across my skin more easily and provide a base for my foundation. I then use <b>The Body Shop's Pore Minimiser </b>to close/fill any open pores to make my foundation look even more flawless.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I suffer from oily skin, I usually stick to matte foundations which have a medium to full coverage such as <b>Revlon's Colourstay Foundation</b> for oily/combination skin (I use shade 'Sand Beige'). I use a stippling or buffing brush to blend my foundation such as Real Techniques Stippling Brush. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then apply a light or yellow based concealer under my eyes to high any dark circles. If the dark circles won't cover, I'll apply <b>YSL Touche eclat</b> in 1.5 over the top as it is a very yellow based concealer it will counteract the darkness under my eyes. I often blend my concealer with a beauty blender or my fingers depending on how I'm feeling that day. I will then apply concealer to any blemishes I may have. I often find using a concealer which is the same colour as my foundation works best to hide blemishes. I use <b>Maybelline's FIT ME concealer</b> in '10' and I will blend with my finger or the pointed end of a beauty blender.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will then finish off by using a big fluffy brush to sweep a powder over my face. I use <b>Rimmel Stay Matte Powder</b> in 'Transparent' as it sets my foundation and keeps my face matte all day. I also find it helps reduce the transfer of my foundation to clothes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When spring arrives I like to change up my make-up products to softer pastels, peaches and pinks. When I popped into Boots the other week <b>Max Factor's</b> new launch caught my eye. I picked up their new <b>Creme Puff Blush in '15 Seductive Pink'.</b> I'd heard it was a budget dupe for the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush but since I'm not prepared to spend £30 odd pound on a blush at the moment, I can't pass comment. However, this blush has a marbled effect which is combined with a lovely soft pink colour and a light helping of glitter to help make your cheeks glow when applied. You can also use this blush as a highlight if used with a light hand. For a fraction of the price (£8.99) of the Hourglass blush, this blush provides a beautiful soft look for springtime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since the launch of <b>Maybelline's Colour Drama Velvet Lip Pencils</b>, they have been one of my favourite lip products as they are so versatile and easy to use. They are creamy and apply to the lips so easily. As a result of them being in pencil form, I have found the application of bright/darker red colours in the collection much easier to apply than a lipstick. My favourites are <b>'Minimalist'</b> and<b> 'Red Essential'</b>. They are £4.99 each and an absolute steal compared to their supposed high-end dupes - The NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils which are more than double the price. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last but not least as it's genuinely my favourite product at the moment. <b>Bourjois </b>recently launched some new, more pinky toned additions to their famous <b>Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick</b> range which are amazing. They released 3 new shades and I picked up <b>'So Hap' Pink'</b> - a beautiful soft rose colour. At first I was a bit taken aback by their formula. They looked like a lipgloss but didn't even feel like a lipstick, but had the lasting power of a stain. They're very hard to describe, however I have come to adore these. My favourite thing about these lipsticks is the fact you can wear as much or as little as you like and build up the lipstick from a stain to create a full on matte lip. These retail at £8.99 currently.</div>

It's not often I use lip butter but when I do I always wonder why I haven't been using it more because they are extremely moisturising and these two from NIVEA smell amazing. I picked up Raspberry Rose and Vanilla and Macadamia scents. They're both slightly tinted to differentiate between the flavours but they don't affect your natural lip colour. They add a light sheen to your lips when applied. They're so buttery and make applying them to your lips a dream. The packaging of these butters are really nice - I love the fact they have the picture of what flavour they are on the front of the tin so you can grab the right one when you're in a rush. Costing only £2.10 (Boots), they're a bargain. Ideal handbag staples. Go grab yourself one! </div>

Only until recently did I really begin using primers. Mainly because I didn't really believe they did anything and whilst I'd tried a few in the past, I never found them to bring about good results - I'd always end up with an oily face (which no-one wants). I was first properly introduced to primer after I bought 'The Best of Benefit' gift set at Christmas. I'd heard good things about <b>Benefit 'Porefessional Primer' </b>but never thought it would be worth the money picking it up. I tested it for a few days under my foundation and began to realise how great it was. It provided a smooth finish to my skin which made foundation application a dream. After attending a blogger event with <b>Smashbox</b>, I was lucky to receive a few products in a goody bag which included their notorious <b>Photo Finish Primer.</b> It is oil free and once applied to the skin also provides a smooth base for foundation application. I really started to like using primers as I felt they were improving the lasting power of my foundation during really long days and prevented my t-zone from getting too oily during the day. Hearing raves about <b>The Body Shop's Pore Minimiser</b> which also acts as a primer, I rushed out and grabbed it and it has proved to be one of my favourite products of spring so far. If you're on the fence about whether you should try using primer, I would definitely say give it a go and persevere because they really do make make up application easier and leave your skin looking flawless. </div>

Nudes and Pinks are my favourite lip colours to wear as they are so versatile. They are the ideal shades for daytime and work wear they are subtle yet very pretty. Two of my favourite pink/neutral lipsticks are two from <b>MAC. </b>First is <b>Pink Plaid</b>, a rose, pink shade with a matte finish and my beloved <b>Patisserie</b>, a light pink/peach, lustre lipstick. Both are beautiful lipsticks which are subtle enough that you can wear them to work without being to 'full on'. Pink Plaid has a very matte formula which wears extremely well and lasts hours before you have to top up. On the other hand, Patisserie is one of those 'your lips but better' shades. It is a lustre formula which does mean it doesn't last as long as a matte formulas on the lips. However, it provides a beautiful light wash of pink colour with a beautiful sheen. Pick these lipsticks up if you're looking for two beautiful, more high end lipsticks you can wear everyday. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As spring is finally here I have started changing up my beauty products and have found some real favourites this month. These are a few of the things which I have been loving through the month of March.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser - </b>After discovering The Body Shop's tea tree line I have fallen in love. I have always had troubled skin and whilst I don't have bad skin at the moment, I often have redness. I picked up their Foaming Cleanser and have found it to be a gods send in taking away redness. I also picked up the Pore Minimiser on a buy one get another half price offer and have absolutely been loving it! I apply it to my t-zone and chin before my foundation and after my moisturiser and it reduces the look of pores and acts as a primer to increase your foundation staying power!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>L'oreal Infallible 24hr-Matte Foundation -</b> I have previously done a blog post on this newly launched foundation which you can find <a href="http://emmawiths.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/new-loreal-infallible-24hr-matte.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I have been loving it since I bought it, as the foundation is slightly too dark I have been mixing it with a light BB cream to lighten it until I have a tan. It's a matte foundation which is long lasting but doesn't feel thick and cakey. Pick it up at Superdrug and Boots now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Real Techniques Stippling Brush -</b> When I first bought this brush I wasn't much of a fan. However, I persisted and I'm glad I did. This brush is fantastic at applying cream blush or bronzer and it provides an even amount of product to the face producing a really natural look. I have also been using this brush with the new L'oreal foundation and using it to buff the foundation into the skin which has worked really well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Contouring Pencil in 004 Indian Pink -</b> Originally I was on the hunt for their Exaggerate lip liner in East End Snob but it was sold out everywhere. I picked up this one instead. It's quite a berry pink but isn't too dark. I've been filling my lips in with it as it's so creamy and easy to apply, making the appearance of my lips seem bigger and fuller.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in 001 Ivory -</b> I was looking for a budget concealer in a much lighter shade than my foundation to apply under my eyes to brighten up the area. I had heard good things about their Wake Me Up foundation and decided to try out the concealer. It's such a great product as it does brighten my under eye area making me look less tired. It's not too thick which causes it too crease, it's the perfect under eye concealer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Pandora Bracelet -</b> I decided to get myself a Pandora Bracelet after wanting one for a while. I have been wearing it constantly and I'm looking forward to choosing some lovely charms to add to it. I chose size 18 which is the perfect size.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Pinterest - </b>I have been absolutely obsessed with this app this month. I think it's such a fantastic place to gain inspiration for all things, whether it is new hairstyles, home interior inspiration, new make-up looks, fashion, food recipes, holidays, I could go on and on. If you're not on it, you need to download it. The basic idea is that if you see a photo you like, you pin it to your board so people can see it and pin it to theirs and so on. </div>

Everyone loves the feeling of smooth soft lips and you can easy achieve this without spending a lot on high end lip balms and creams. These two products are my pocket friendly answers to smooth, supple lips. Using a lip scrub is the first step in ensuring you have smooth lips as it removes all dead and dry skin from your lips. Mine is the<b> Santa's Cola Lip Scrub from LUSH</b> which came in a Christmas Gift Box but there are quite a few to choose from. You can also make your own lip scrub using brown sugar which is easy (just Google it). After removing all dry skin from my lips, I'll generously apply a lip balm, I usually switch these up and use a really hydrating one at night such as Carmex or Blistex but day to day I will apply <b>Maybelline's Baby Lips in 'Peach Kiss'</b> or NIVEA Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose. Following these steps often will ensure you have smooth, soft, kissable lips all year round. </div>

<b>Barry M's Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit</b> is a great place to start if you're looking for a good quality contouring product without breaking the bank. This is a great and more penny-friendly alternative to such kits as the Anastasia Beverley Hills Contour Kit, (which retails at £39). Barry M's recent launch of the <b>'Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit'</b> provides you with three good quality powders - a light, banana coloured powder to set concealer under the eyes and to highlight, a warm matte brown to bronze and then a darker more cooler toned matte brown to contour. All powders are smooth with great pigmentation and very blendable. I think all these powders would work with any skin tone depending on how heavy you apply them. Another great aspect of this kit is the simple instructions they provide under the lid which help you if you are unsure of where to put each shade on your face. The kit is retailing at only £6.49 in Superdrug and Boots.</div>
