I picked up one of the new <span style="color: #ea9999;"><b>MUA Luxe Whipped Velvet Lips</b></span> from Superdrug recently, after stumbling across them accidentally whilst perusing the isles of the drugstore. I must admit I hadn't heard anything about them before my purchase but after some research I now understand that that they are part of new Spring 2015 release by MUA.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
MUA have released a total of 5 new Luxe Whipped Velvet lips,each retailing for <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">£3.00</span></b> each. They are described by the brand as<span style="color: #ea9999;"> 'luxurious'</span>,<span style="color: #ea9999;"> 'ultra soft'</span>and a way to add a <span style="color: #ea9999;">'subtle pop of colour'</span>, as well as a<span style="color: #ea9999;"> 'super smooth new formulation that won't dry out your lips ensuring you have the perfect pout at all times'. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the shade selection I picked the shade <span style="color: #ea9999;"><b>SPRY</b></span>. A muted brown with a hint of rose to give that perfect '<i>your lips but better'</i> colour. From the 5 shades available it was the only on that stood out to me and the only shade I felt like I would get wear out of. The other shades in general were rather light for my liking and looked generally unwearable for my skintone.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On first swatch the texture of <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">SPRY </span></b>instantly reminded me of a long time favourite,the <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Collection Cream Puff,</span></b> with a even <i>creamier</i> feel but <i>less pigmentation</i>. <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">SPRY</span></b> has a very velvety <span style="font-size: x-small;">(as the name suggests!) </span>moose like texture that glides on to lips, leaving them feeling soft and hydrated. The Whipped Velvets are not as pigmented as the Collection cream puffs,but they are buildable proving a decent, even cover. Throughout the day, dry patches can be accentuated if your lips haven't been exfoliated prior to application and I do find that the product doesn't have great lasting power, leading to frequent re application, but for £3.00 a pop I think that can be forgiven!</div>

I'm really enjoying using SPRY as an everyday lip colour as it's a no fuss, low maintenance lip shade with a hydrating formula making it perfect for everyday wear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really hope MUA bring out a better selection of shades that are more wearable like SPRY because I'm completely sold on the formulation of these! I highly recommend them, another winner from MUA! </div>

Essence is a brand that isn't talked about much here in the UK, because it isn't readily available, but their products are much talked about by American Bloggers. Imagine my surprise when I happened to stumble across an essence stand whilst looking around Wilko recently, I decided to pick up two of the lipliners which were selling for £1.00 each!!</div>

I've been wearing In the Nude daily since I got it. It's a beautiful everyday shade that can be used in so many different ways. My personal favourite is to fill in my lips with it first and then add a deeps pink or brick red shade and blend. It give the most beautiful muted 'Kylie Jenner' lip colour which is perfect for this season. They have a creamy formula, which means they glide onto the lips smoothly, and provide an even coverage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to get my hands on some more shades, at £1.00 they are complete bargains! Get yourselves down to wilko!</div>

I recently placed an order for a number of lipsticks from Fashionista. They were selling for £1.99 each on <a href="http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/">www.fragrancedirect.co.uk</a>, which is quiet a bargain seeing as they retailed for around the £7.00 mark!</div>

I couldn't find many swatches online at the time, so it was a bit of a blind order! Atomic oranges swatches alot more pink on me and comes across as more of a coral than straight up orange. Natural Pink is a nice mid tone pink and Cinnamon will make a lovely everyday nude. Aurergine is something a little more daring but perfect for this time of year. The texture and finish of these lipsticks remind me of MAC cremesheens. They're very pigmented but creamy, you can't go wrong for £1.99!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also Picked up 5 Maxi Moisture Lipsticks. It was even harder to find swatches online for these, but again i'm happy with all the colours I picked up.</div>

They glide on easily, feel very moisturising, but also have a decent colour pay off. Perfect Fit swatches alot pinker on me than it looks in the tube, I couldn.t find any swatches of this shade before I purchased so I wasn't too sure what to expect. It is very pretty though! I'm and individual is a orangey coral and touch up is a lovely brown nude. I purchased two of these as I could tell it would be a colour I would use often. How do I look? is a nice mid tone but brighter pink that I think will be perfect for adding a bit of brightness to the face! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again the quality of these lipsticks is great! They remind me of MAC Lustre lipsticks and they're perfect for his time of year when we need a little more moisture on our lips!!</div>

I love warm eyeshadows, so I was excited to see how these would swatch. Although a lot of beautiful shades have been included I feel like alot of them are fairly similar, it would have been nice to have seen a bit more variety. Having said that, there is definitely something for everyone!<br />
<br />
The 3rd shadow on the second row was slightly too soft and bitty, so I ended up picking up too much product when I attempted to swatch it. It did blend out okay though. The intensity of the shimmer are even better than the cooler part of the palette and they swatched beautifully! I absolutely love the 3rd row!<br />
<br />
Just like everything else the matte shades were less pigmented but they were buildable and didn't tend to apply patchy.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I hope the swatch posts have helped! Overall it's a beautiful palette and so far I don't feel like it's got enough attention! I think it makes a perfect gift this holiday, so I definitely recommend you giving it ago. </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I purchased my Pixi Ultimate Beauty Kit from <a href="http://www.hqhair.com/pixi-ultimate-beauty-kit-2nd-edition-cool-and-warm/11020255.html">HQHair</a>. It is currently priced at <strike>£34</strike> </span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">£29.50!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The highlighters ARE soft, blendable and non of them contain any chucky glitter. I like that they are of variable intensity, allowing some to be more wearable during the day and others more suited to evening wear! They can of course be used as eyeshadows as well, not that they are needed with the variety provided in this palette!<br /><br />A good variety of blush shades are provided. Like the eyeshadows the matte shades are less pigmented than the shimmers, but yet again they are buidable and not difficult to blend, The only problem I have with the shade selection is that the 3rd shade on the 3rd rows is the only 'every day' blush the rest are pretty daring and for me at least will probably not be worn as much.</span><br />

Overall the cool eyeshadows were soft and blended easily. I found the shimmer shades had a better colour pay off compared to the mattes but they were buildable. The colour pay off of the 4th row is generally pretty poor, which is a shame seeing as the colours are so pretty! I did not find any of the shades to be flakey of gritty and the colours translated well, looking the same on the skin as they did in the pan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love wearing purple on my eyes, so I can't wait to creates some looks using these eyeshadows What makes this section even better is the inclusion of some good transition colours to help blend out and warm up any eye looks.<br />

Once word got round that it was being <b><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">discontinued</span></b> I searched around online (in a slight panic I must admit!) where I found it on ASOS and placed an order.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been in the market for a ' matte soft pink/brown blush' that could be doubled up as a natural contour to help sculpt the face on those lazy days. After reading many reviews, Douceur was described as just that, so I was excited to see how I would feel about it.</div>

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What Do I Think?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had Douceur for about a week now and I must say I don't think it lives up to the quality of other NARS blushers I've tried! I really wanted to love it but it just doesn't do much for me at all! It barely swatches and I have to really build it up for it to show up on my skintone. My other NARS blushers are so pigmented, to the point where I have to be aware to use a light hand to avoid over doing it. It leans more pink than brown on me whereas I was actually hoping for the opposite, so it doesn't even work so well in helping create that 'natural contour'.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so disappointed that I just don't love it as much as everyone else, but I'm going to continue playing around with it and hopefully find a way to make it work for me! I think it's a blush that is targeted mainly at light/ light medium skintones, I feel like it was begin to look ashy on anyone darker than me. Like I said, I really had to build it up on myself to get a decent pay off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Douceur is no longer avaliable at NAR makeup counters but it can still be found at selected online retailers. If you were interested in trying it before its gone, I purchased mine from ASOS.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It retails for £22.50</div>

Having received a couple of samples of Redermic R by La Roche Posay, I've spent the last couple of weeks working my way through them. I'm definitely a fan of La Roche Posay Skincare, the things I've tired, I've loved and the Effeclar Duo is a firm favourite.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">I usually apply a thin layer of Redermic R every night and I must say I do feel like my skin feels softer and looks brighter in the morning.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">A little goes a long way, a sample 5ml tube lasts approx. 2 weeks! You can find Redermic R in Boots stores and and retails for £28.00 for a 30ml tube. Considering the </span></span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">ingredient I would say that was a fairly competitive price.

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">EYEBROWS EYEBROWS EYEBROWS!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like many others, eyebrows are a complete stand out feature for me. I notice them straight away and if I like them I'll like the person they belong too (because good eyebrows mean a good person right?!?!) On a serious note, I think neat eyebrows can really help tie a look together and work wonders in terms of framing a face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eyebrow threading has become rather mainstream over the past couple of years, having know about it long before it became popular (mainly due to my roots) I learnt how to thread and maintain my own eyebrows. I don't think I could trust someone else!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Threading can help achieve straight neat lines, something that can be a little more difficult with just tweezing alone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What Do I Do To Maintain My Eyebrows?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So once a week I use thread to create 'straight lines' on the top and bottom of my brows. Then I go in with tweezers to neaten up and stubborn hairs that refuse to come out with thread. Tweezing is also very good for getting into difficult spaces such as right underneath the arch. I also trim my eyebrows to make them look sharper. I'm keen on the angular look but I think it totally depends on your face shape in terms if what shape of eyebrow will look best on you. If in doubt I would always recommend to stick to your natural shape as much as you can.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To fill in my Brows I use the <b><span style="color: #e06666;">Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade in the shade Dark Brow</span></b> with an angled brush. I started by drawing a straight line at he bottom of my brow and then I concentrate most of the product towards the end and defining my arch. With whatever I have left on my brush I feather it towards the front of my brow using a light hand. You have to work fast with this product as it sets fairly quickly, acting as a eyebrow gel and a eyebrow product it one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If i'm going for a softer look i'll use a cool brown eye shadow such as<span style="color: #e06666;"><b> Crushed Walnut by Natural Collection.</b></span> I have black hair naturally so using lighter shades on my brows prevents a very stark harsh look. If you have light eyebrows I would recommend using a brow product with is a couple of shades darker than your natural colour. This will really help add definition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Continuously brushing out your eyebrows whilst filling them in is something not to miss! I find this to be more important when using powder as it helps distribute the products and avoids brows from looking patchy.</div>

My thoughts on this product are no different.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fRmbSzmgGfc/VG-Q92IhwsI/AAAAAAAABmk/jLAs2HeJd1w/s1600/PSX_20141120_133124.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fRmbSzmgGfc/VG-Q92IhwsI/AAAAAAAABmk/jLAs2HeJd1w/s1600/PSX_20141120_133124.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>

At the beginning of this week my skin reacted to something I put on it (not sure what!) and as a result I had little red bumps surface over my cheek area. Having sensitive skin, this is unfortunately something I'm used to, but every time it happens I turn to effaclar duo. It really is my skin saviour! Usually after three days of once a day application I can see a noticeable difference in my skin, and this episode was no different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The product is a gel like cream consistency and a little most certainly goes a long way. An increase in spots may be seen at first but stick with, it just drawing out impurities!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once my current tube runs out, I'm excited to try the new<b><span style="color: #e06666;"> Effaclar Duo [+]</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">(</span></b><span style="font-size: x-small;">which had now replaced the original)</span> to see how it compares. It's certainly go a lot to live up to in my eyes. The effaclar Duo [+] is marketed as having additional benefits such as scar prevention and reduction.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo[+] can be purchased in Boots in the UK. and it retails for £15.50.</div>

Now and again I like to invest in a perfume as a little treat to myself. Who doesn't like to smell good?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had my eye on Burberry Body for a while now after smelling the Rose edition that my sister received a while ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whilst browsing<a href="http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/national-deal/gg-groupon-goods-global-gmbh-478-merchandising-uk/48101435" target="_blank"> Groupon</a> last week, I noticed it was on offer for<a href="http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/national-deal/gg-groupon-goods-global-gmbh-478-merchandising-uk/48101435" target="_blank"> £29.99</a><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/national-deal/gg-groupon-goods-global-gmbh-478-merchandising-uk/48101435" target="_blank">(STILL AVALIABLE)</a></span>. Seeing as I also had a £10.00 voucher to spend on the website, I decided to snap it up for the bargain price of £19.99! (RRP £75.00 for 85ml)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a bit of a risk as I hasn't smelt the original before placing my order, but let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #e06666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">'Burberry Body is a feminine and effortlessly sensual fragrance with an eclectic combination of refined ingredients.</span></div>
<div style="color: #e06666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #e06666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #e06666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: start;">The scent has top notes of fresh green absinthe, illuminating elegant peach and refined freesia.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #e06666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: start;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #e06666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: start;">The floral bouquet of natural rose absolute and iris blends gently with subtle warm tones of sandalwood to form the heart notes.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only complaint I have is with regards to the lasting power. The scent had faded significantly after 4hrs of wear, but for the price I paid I think it's still very worth it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a lovely everyday perfume but also appropriate for wearing in the evening.</div>

People wear glasses for a number of reasons such as vision, comfort and fashion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being a fairly statement piece to be wearing on your face any makeup application may be masked or less noticeable, leading to features that you like to highlight being hidden away instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've personally needed to wear glasses since the age of seven, and until recently I've completely hated the fact that I don't have 20/20 vision. I've always disliked the way glasses would mask my eyes and especially make any eye make up less visible. This led to me overusing and over wearing contact lenses for many years, something which my eyes have not thanked me for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having recently invested in a new pair of glasses I'm determined to find a way to make them work for me so I can feel comfortable wearing them out in public!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So what have I been doing in terms of makeup?</span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--0VqLFGd80M/VGi43GlzifI/AAAAAAAABlc/0hR1wExtXKs/s1600/IMG_20141116_142601.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--0VqLFGd80M/VGi43GlzifI/AAAAAAAABlc/0hR1wExtXKs/s1600/IMG_20141116_142601.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">SUBTLE BROWS IF YOUR BROWS ARE DARK</span>- like many others I'm obsessed with the perfect brow! I've learnt however that if you have darker brows when it comes to wearing glasses less is more. The especially applies if like me your frame are fairly bold. toning down your brows will avoid a overly harsh look.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">STRUCTURED BROWS IF YOUR BROWS ARE LIGHT</span> - Brows help to frame our faces, so if your natural brows are very light, filling them in as you normally would do if you weren't going to wear glasses is important to maintain your normal daily face structure. </li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">WINGED LINER</span> - I'm a big fan of a neat wing, but if I'm not wearing glasses I can get away with skipping this step if I'm in a rush. However if I want to wear my glasses, adding winged liner really helps to open up my eyes and stops them from getting lost in my frames.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #e06666;">CLEAN WATERLINE</span> </span>- Normally I add a black Kohl pencil in my waterline, but leaving it bare when wearing glasses again helps open up the eyes, making them more noticeable.</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">MASCARA</span> - Don't forget to add a couple of coats of your favourite mascara to finish things off. With or without glasses I feel like mascara makes a massive difference in terms on making your eyes a stand out feature!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">OPTIONAL:</span></b></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">CONTOUR</span> - My frames for example are very square and rather big, so contouring my face adds structure to the rest of my face and helps balance everything out. </li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">BRIGHTER LIP</span> - Adding a bit of colour to the lips can really finish off your look. A nude would suit too, but the brighter lip doesn't have to be a daring red or a bright pink. Something like a rosy tinted lipbalm would really help bring the look together. A favourite of mine are the korres lip butters.</div>

Whilst browsing the internet for a new eyeshadow palette to get my hands on, I came across the <b><span style="color: #e06666;">Pixi Ultimate Beauty Kit (2nd Edition)</span></b>. I must admit I hadn't heard of it before but the variety of colours and the inclusion of blushers really caught my attention. Pixi isn't I brand I'm too familiar with, but I've heard good things, so after googling to gain more knowledge of the quality of Pixi products, I decided to take the plunge and order this beautiful palette.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always been a fan of cream shadows and I was too all about the <span style="color: #e06666;">Maybelline Colour Tattoo</span> hype when they first launched a couple of years back. Unfortunately in the UK we don't get the extensive colour range that is available in the US, as well as rarely getting the limited edition releases.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DBg1tI1ibKQ/VF-IyOXM-KI/AAAAAAAABjY/bS7esX5KxbQ/s1600/PSX_20141109_150945.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DBg1tI1ibKQ/VF-IyOXM-KI/AAAAAAAABjY/bS7esX5KxbQ/s1600/PSX_20141109_150945.jpg" height="620" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So whilst perusing the isles of<span style="color: #e06666;"> Superdrug</span> once again<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-small;"> (I feel like you may be getting a sense of what I like to do in my spare time!)</span> 2 weeks ago I stumbled across this new<span style="color: #e06666;"> Maybelline Colour Tattoo Leather Effect in the shade Creamy Beige. </span>Due to no longer keeping up with new launches as religiously as I used to I had no idea that new colour tattoos were released,so just imagine my excitement when this caught my eye! Total child in a sweet shop moment, I had to have it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KsPyhfvjSKc/VF-IxJh7xQI/AAAAAAAABjQ/undtBHH1Jpo/s1600/PSX_20141109_150756.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KsPyhfvjSKc/VF-IxJh7xQI/AAAAAAAABjQ/undtBHH1Jpo/s1600/PSX_20141109_150756.jpg" height="640" width="620" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The name describes the colour well, I think its beautiful! On my skin tone it swatches warmer than it looks in the pot, leaning slightly orange. But overall its a camel tone bronzy shade with a satin finish.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S7RDtQEZKBw/VF-IuP4pS6I/AAAAAAAABi0/E9AYRrIMx-o/s1600/PSX_20141109_150547.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S7RDtQEZKBw/VF-IuP4pS6I/AAAAAAAABi0/E9AYRrIMx-o/s1600/PSX_20141109_150547.jpg" height="372" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't had the opportunity to use this yet but I'll be happy if it performs like the others in terms of longevity, colour payoff and base properties. I think it will make a beautiful base for a warm bronze/brown smokey eye. I can't wait to try it out!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're a fan of the Maybelline Colour Tattoos give this a try. Another Shade from the Leather Effects collection called Vintage Plum was also available if you're into deep purply tones. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Believe it or not, this is the product that sparked my interest into getting back into blogging!</span> After seeing the results I achieved from this moisturiser/serum, on top of all the compliments on how great my skin was looking I was itching to let people know about my skincare secret!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HH9qare_NnY/VF4swmMBJ9I/AAAAAAAABiE/1cefWOR1LnA/s1600/PSX_20141107_161617.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HH9qare_NnY/VF4swmMBJ9I/AAAAAAAABiE/1cefWOR1LnA/s1600/PSX_20141107_161617.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At the beginning of this year,back in January, I was perusing the isles of Superdrug looking for something new to try. My skin had been unhappy for a while, with the texture of it had been looking and feeling very uneven. I needed to find it something new!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now I must say I used to feel like you get what you pay for in terms of skincare, so I wasn't expecting much at all when I picked this up and the main reason I did decide to give it a go was because of the bargain introductory offer of <span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">£2.98.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Due to having very sensitive skin, I was initially put of by the strong scent of this product. Don't get me wrong, it actually smells lovely! Very Herbally and 'Natrual' but at the time I was worried it cause a reaction. Because of this I unfortunately left it to collect dust up until about April. When I did FINALLY start using this regularly, I have to say my skin never looked or felt better.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The actual product has a <span style="color: #e06666;">gel </span>like texture. A little goes a long way, it <span style="color: #e06666;">absorbs quickly </span>and leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated. I have a combination skin type and ever since I started using this moisturiser/serum religiously <span style="font-size: x-small;">(twice daily)</span> since April I haven't experienced any dry patches or excessive oiliness in my T Zone<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (these are problems I experienced prior to this product arriving in my life!)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Having just entered in to the bitterly cold winter months here in the UK, I was wondering if my skin would end up needing more moisture, but I have to say its still working wonders and keeping my skin adequately hydrated. I cannot recommend this product enough!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently purchased the much hyped about MUA Luxe London Velvet Lip Lacquers from Superdrug. I've been enjoying experimenting with different types of lip products lately, so I was excited to give these a try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Lip Lacquers are described as a long lasting, kiss proof lip lacquers that provide an opaque finish, drying down to a matte velvet finish. I had high hopes for these lip products, firstly because I hadn't previously tried any of the 'lip lacquer' type lip products that are currently being release left, right and centre. Secondly because I'm always fond to a good old matte lip, and finally because I had myself read some rave reviews about these lip lacquers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My Thoughts</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really wanted to like these, but unfortunately I was left rather disappointed, The first time I applied <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>RECKLESS</b></span>, I applied it to bare lips without a lip balm underneath. You may be thinking that this was a pretty silly move as we all know how drying matte products can be, but I just wanted to test them out to see how they held up alone. Once <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>RECKLESS</b></span> had dried down, it didn't take long for it to start settling into fine lines and flaking off. I removed it within an hour of applying it as it started to feel rather uncomfortable and look patchy. I could feel the product sitting on top of my lips, and drinking from a cup just promoted the flakey-ness. I did however like the colour and the initial finish of the product!</div>

Next I tried out the less daring shades and this time I made sure to moisturise and exfoliate my lips beforehand. Having done so I was hoping for a more positive result, however I found the application of both <b><span style="color: #e06666;">HALCYON</span></b> and <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>TRANQUILITY</b></span> to be fairly patchy. To reduce the patchiness I would recommend blotting your lips a couple of minutes after applying lip balm. I found this to help some what but in all honest it wasn't easy to achieve an even application. Once I did however achieve an even application with <b><span style="color: #e06666;">TRANQUILITY</span></b>, it dried down to a beautiful matte/velvet finish and lasted until I chose to take it off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On more of a positive note I was really fond of the colours and generally feel like MUA have done well with the colour selection. The price definitely has to add to the good points of this product, at only £3.00 per lip lacquer it would be a challenge to find a product in the same type category at that price. Its also worth noting the lasting power, I had to really scrub at my lips to get these off!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm looking forward to playing around with these lip lacquers a little more and hopefully finding a way to make the application easier for me. I'm also interested in trying some of the brighter colours in the range such as <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>DARE.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
What did you guys think of the MUA Luxe London Velvet Lip Lacquers?</div>

So it's been about 4years since my last blog post and here I am again!<br />
It's safe to say that alot has happened in the past 4 years as you can probably imagine! I am no longer a teenager, I finished college ages ago and I look fairly different from my 17/18 year old self.<br />
<br />
I've been thinking about starting to blog again for a while now. I used to love the interaction and being able to talk to others who had the same interests as me. Initially I was going to start from scratch and I still might do that, but I stumbled across my old blog (this blog!) yesterday and it bought back so many happy memories so I didn't have the heart to delete it. For now I've decided to just start where I left off really and just see how it goes.<br />
<br />
I'm very rusty with the whole blogger thing at the moment and my blog definitely needs a revamp! As you can probably tell its still a reflection of my 17 year old self. So I'll be working on updating it somewhat and hopefully get back into the swing of blogging!<br />
<br />
If there is anything you would like to know or if you want me to blog about anything in particular then do not hesitate to ask! I'm still planning on keeping the blog beauty related as my love for that good stuff (by that I mean makeup) never faded!<br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span>As for what the moisturiser contained, I'd previously read alot about Salicylic acid and it's benefits, so I was looking forward to seeing the results.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/TI9XEWTIKzI/AAAAAAAABXo/zZhGecFn4d8/s1600/vichy.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="131" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/TI9XEWTIKzI/AAAAAAAABXo/zZhGecFn4d8/s400/vichy.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span>What's my verdict?</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span>I used this moisturiser once a day(as recommend) for a week before I saw any results, but the results I did see were positive. I found that the texture of my skin was alot smoother and my face would stay matte for longer throughout the day. Little bumps and blackheads around my nose has smoothed out and disappeared, which in turn helped even out my skin tone.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span>I didn't see a reduction or notice any fading of the blemishes on my face which was slightly disappointing as it's probably my biggest problem, but it certainly ticked the boxes for everything else.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span>Due to the texture of the cream being almost like a serum and not at all greasy, this moisturiser was perfect to use underneath foundation and so doubled up as a makeup base. As soon as applied, it left a smooth, matte finish.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span><br />
</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span>Would I recommend it?</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span>Yes I would. it helped me achieve a healthier appearance to my skin and it wasn't at all greasy or thick</span><span>.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span><br />

Having read alot of reviews on their nail polish, I was eager to try them out for myself and get my hands on some lovely and unique colours! </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">I decided to pick up five nail polishes...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/THke1lQLMzI/AAAAAAAABXA/gMvY5ruQ1OY/s1600/IMG00294-20100827-1527.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/THke1lQLMzI/AAAAAAAABXA/gMvY5ruQ1OY/s400/IMG00294-20100827-1527.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">From left to right:</div><div style="text-align: center;">GUN GREY </div><div style="text-align: center;">IN THE NAVY </div><div style="text-align: center;">PURPLE GREY</div><div style="text-align: center;">NUDE BEIGE</div><div style="text-align: center;">SLATE GREEN</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They arrived yesterday, so I've had a bit of time to play around with them. I did initially find the application a little difficult. I found that the handle to which the bristles are attached to seemed to pick up too much polish. So whilst I was painting my nails, it would slowly run down and land on my nail, resulting in a bit of a mess. Once I realised that was the constant problem, it was no bother to wipe the handle aswell as the bristles on the bottle before I started painting.<br />
This problems only occurs with two out of the five polishes, the others were great, and all five of them left a lovely finish with no streaking.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> On a slightly more positive note,I'm really happy with all the colours I picked and I know I will definitely be picking some more up in the near future :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/THkeyu-Ci9I/AAAAAAAABW4/kx9fudWCVNE/s1600/IMG00295-20100827-1527.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/THkeyu-Ci9I/AAAAAAAABW4/kx9fudWCVNE/s400/IMG00295-20100827-1527.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes it can be difficult to find a drugstore brand<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (Models Own nail polishes and cosmetics are sold in Boots)</span> that have a large range of unique and interesting colours. I've been looking for a deep, dark, glossy navy shade with a creme finish for ages and I think I've finally found it in the shade <b>'In the Navy'</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I would absolutely love Models Own to come out with a dark forest green shade. Something Similar to ORLY'S <b>'Enchanted Forest'</b> or American Apparel's <b>'Hunter'</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Having said that, for now I have a long list of existing colours I want to get my hands on!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Since I blogged about the shade <b>'Mushroom'</b> a couple of weeks ago, I've got my hands on two more shades. Superdrug had a 2 for £5.00 offer, what was I supposed to do?!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The two shades I picked up were<b> 'Racing Green'</b>, a colour that I've had my eye on for ages, and <b>'Vivid Purple'</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Whilst sorting out my makeup storage,<span style="font-size: x-small;"> which is still a mess by the way</span>, I can across my Sleek Storm Palette. I had really forgotten how much I loved that palette. The shadows are so soft and pigmented, I'm definitely going to start using it more often. Anyway, so whilst in Superdrug I decided to pick up the original palette, It was between that and the sunset palette, but the original had a greater variety of colours. I'm sure I'll end up picking them all up soon enough!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">i decided not to do swatches, only because they can be found on many blogs already. But if you do want to see swatches, just let me know.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm really excited to use the greens. I think they will look really lovely when creating a green smokey eye.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wish sleek would bring back some of their limited edition palettes such as <b>safari</b> and <b>jewel</b>, I 'd love to get my hands on them!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">1.Visibly clear 2 in 1 wash and mask</div><div style="text-align: center;">2.Visibly clear triple action lotion.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/THFAZJ8-CvI/AAAAAAAABWE/Pi5XFoKaVkQ/s1600/CIMG4381.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="327" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/THFAZJ8-CvI/AAAAAAAABWE/Pi5XFoKaVkQ/s400/CIMG4381.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Are both staples in my skincare routine. Not that I have a set routine, because I'm still searching for new products that truly work for me. These however I always find myself coming back to time and time again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/THFQrT_BYYI/AAAAAAAABWQ/62tODbwuhcI/s1600/CIMG4382.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/THFQrT_BYYI/AAAAAAAABWQ/62tODbwuhcI/s400/CIMG4382.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>I mainly use the first one as a mask only, as a prefer to use a face wash that contains exfoliating beads. When used as a mask, I find that it really helps to clean out my pores and leaves my skin glowing and feeling clean. I try to apply this mask to my face once a week, and in doing so, I have really noticed a reduction in black heads and just a generally improvement in the way my skin looks and feels! This products retails for around £3-4... completely worth it in my opinion!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/THFQui6H7MI/AAAAAAAABWY/vmzLaGXRYqA/s1600/CIMG4383.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZgqZNhRa_Tk/THFQui6H7MI/AAAAAAAABWY/vmzLaGXRYqA/s400/CIMG4383.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>To date, I have probably gotten through 6/7 bottles of the triple action cleansing lotion. I use it to take off my make up, re freshen up my face, clean out my pores etc. etc. etc.<br />
I just love this thing! It leaves such a clean feeling on the skin and on top of that it retails for about £2.99! You can't go wrong!<br />
