<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was in Topshop last Friday in Croydon and found this beautiful top that was perfect for Reading Festival in a couple weeks time. However upon looking at the price tag I experienced that heart sinking feeling when you realise it's well out of your price range and in typical Topshop style, overpriced. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here's the top...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-small;">£28 no thankyou gurl</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You can't really tell in the pictures but the tassels go from teal to black. When in the fitting room I then had one of those light bulb moments to make it myself for a much cheaper price, plus I could tailor the style to be exactly how I want it. So I ended up going for a long sleeve crop top so the tassels would come over my belly rather than the awkward length of the original. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Other styles more similar to the original are also available at Topshop. Plus if you aren't as lazy as me you could shop around more and probably find suitable tops for even cheaper.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First measure the correct length of tassel to fit round your waist or the bottom of your top and use a pin to mark where to cut. </span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then once you have the correct length fold it up into a smaller piece thats easier to dip into your container. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Once your tassels are ready, wash them in cold water and leave damp. </span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now is where the gloves come in handy. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*These measurements are what worked for me, they are in no way fool proof*</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Taking a quarter of Bahama Blue and a quarter of Dark Green mix them together to make the equivalent of half a pack of dye and add to 125 ml of warm water. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now add your mix to 1.5 litres of warm water along with 1 tbsp of salt and stir well. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Repeat this process with the black, only using a quarter of the packet so it's more dilute then the teal and won't over power it. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sumerge the tassels into the teal dye using a bobbing motion, only cover 3 quarters of your fabric so the top part is left white. The very top of the dyed part should only be in the dye for long enough to gain colour but do not let in soak any more or you won't get a gradient effect. The bottom should never leave the dye in order for it to become really dark. Do this for 15 minuets with teal and then 10 minuets with black. Don't ever submerge the black beyond half way up and alike the teal, focus on the bottom. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hang the tassels on a washing line and cover with a plastic bag, leave for 45 mins. Then rinse in cold water until it runs clear. Now put it in a warm wash and allow it to dry naturally. </span></div>

<br />
I'm so sorry that I gave up on you guys like that but I'm back and better than ever. So whats new, I hear you ask?<br />
Lets have an overview of my goings on since my last post shall we?<br />
Well I finished my GCSEs four months after my last post (the reason for the dry season) and this year I just did my AS-levels...awaiting the results *cry*<br />
My style and the way I want to use this blog has changed at lot since when I first set this up so you may see a few changes around here and I'd love it if you'd stay and help me make them. That is...if your not too angry? (*cough* I'm so sorry *cough*)<br />

This is the first time I have ever used nail wraps so I'm sure my application of them wasn't the best and it takes a lot of practice.<br />

I think these nail wraps are so gorgeous and great for winter especially over christmas. They aren't the easiest to apply and it does take a while but they last really well and I have had them on for four days now and they've only just started showing signs of wearing. The only problems I have with them is they are very hard to get on flat and they crinkle up a bit but I guess practice makes perfect. The snowflakes also don't show up very well which makes me feel for this particular design its more cost effective and easier to buy the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Barry-M-Instant-Nail-Effects-Nail-Paint_1190793/" target="_blank">barry m foil effects</a>. I have had compliments over these nails so that makes me willing to buy the barry m one.<br />

<br />
I got mine at christmas time, as I said before, when they were only available from Selfridges so mine cost me just over £7 but they are now available from topshop for £6.50 but different designs can range in price a bit. For this particular design I will not be buying it again and I will go with the barry m foil effects but I would like to try out more of nail rocks nail wraps as I don't believe the first use can really give them justice as they take a bit of practice to perfect the application. I actually have another pack waiting in my drawer for me to use so watch out for a post on that!<br />
<br />
Also I want to get a fairly high coverage (but natural looking) dewy finish foundation, got any recommendations? I've been looking at bourjois' healthy mix foundation, any good?<br />

I have been looking at Sleek's eyeshadow palettes for a while now and I eventually caved in a couple weekends ago and bought 'Oh So Special'. I was tied between this and Au Natural but with the pinky-ier shades in Oh So Special I thought I would wear it more and went for that one. </div>

I absolutely love all these colours and I can see myself using all of them. There are seven mattes and five shimmery/sparkly ones. I really like this as I change my 'finish' everyday as I love both the dewy, shimmery finish and the matte, powder finish. Three of the colours are also really great highlight colours as well so this palette is great for everything, from natural to smoky eye. My swatches were really bad as when I took the photos I was very rushed so I got an image from google.</div>

As you can see the eyeshadows are well pigmented and a really lovely soft powder. The packaging is really lovely and sleek (teehee). It cost £6.45, very cheap! They are so lovely and I'm definitely going back to superdrug for some more palettes, next up, storm. </div>

So as a base/primer I used, mac paint pot in painterly (<span id="goog_869133902"></span><a href="http://ditziedoll.blogspot.com/2012/01/review-mac-eyeshadow-mac-eye-shadow-in.html" target="_blank">review</a><span id="goog_869133903"></span>) Then I used, Bow, all over my lid and, Glitz, around the edge, I brushed on a heavy outline and then blended it out. Finally I used, Noir, in the crease and blended that out. On my lashes I used Eyeko's old collection mascara but it was applied much earlier in the day and isn't looking it's best.<br />

So I actually wanted a silver dazzle dust (eyeshadow) but accidently bought this which says you shouldn't use around the eye area... so the opposite of what I wanted. This actually made me really angry because they give two very different products the exact same packaging and put them right next to each other on the shelf so I'm sure many people, like me, made the same mistake and wasted their money! However I decided that now I have the product I might as well try it out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7_Uc92t0pFQ-saZaIFGG2FCl7zU9HrVVTpJ2gZPhfN35ZLJZVCcTDJSSZ3SR8ROQ1ybNkqJc1HeRxcu48YdME2rVQFF92JKsSWnD4EObh0CKZfZ3jqOmpG6wzUi1ZkK_LK8-xzMLW9j2C/s1600/644773_l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7_Uc92t0pFQ-saZaIFGG2FCl7zU9HrVVTpJ2gZPhfN35ZLJZVCcTDJSSZ3SR8ROQ1ybNkqJc1HeRxcu48YdME2rVQFF92JKsSWnD4EObh0CKZfZ3jqOmpG6wzUi1ZkK_LK8-xzMLW9j2C/s1600/644773_l.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So I decided I would apply this all over my face very lightly to give it a glittery finish. I applied it with a relatively big general face powder brush and just buffed it into my skin over my makeup. On the website it says you can also use this on your lips and body although I don't see why you would want to use this on your lips... Overall I liked the effect it gave on my skin and is a very good skinfinish if you are going out or even for a christmas party (although we'll have to wait another year for that) ! Although it did irritate my skin a bit and made it itchy but that soon wore off.<br />
<br />

<br />
They cost £4.59 and are the same price as a dazzle dust. This is very cheap and now that I have it I'm glad because it's a really nice going out finish but I wouldn't buy it again as I probably won't wear it very often. I also thought it might be quite good as a highlight and will definitely be trying it out.<br />

I actually went to superdrug wanting to pick up this blush in rose gold but as always it was sold out so instead I picked up this. I have been eyeing a colour very similar to this from mac for a while but I didn't want to spend the money on something that was so bright that I might not wear enough to make full use of the price paid.<br />

This colour doesn't apply as strong as it is in the palette but for this thats definitely a good thing because it is really bright! (the picture isn't showing it as bright as it actually is) It gives a relatively 'natural' flush but very enhanced. It lasts quite well, it could do with a top up during the day but would be fine without. I really like the basic sleek black box packaging aswell, especially the nicely sized mirror in the lid!<br />

These blushers are retailed at £4.30 and are super affordable! I definitely want to try out more of these, like rose gold, if I EVER find it in stock that is....<br />
<br />
Have you tried any sleek blushers? What did you think?<br />

A while ago I brought some Elegant Touch classic french false nails in American Pink, X-Short. I used these once before a while ago but in a pre-glued form and they were really nice and I got so manly complements because they looked so natural but unfortunately they fell off like every 5 minuets which was very disappointing. So instead this time I tried ones where you used actual nail glue.<br />

So obviously these take a bit longer to apply but they will hopefully be worth it and stay on longer. They are really natural looking and just look like I have really really good nice natural nails which is great! Unfortunately a few of them have already started falling off since putting them on earlier this afternoon which is very disappointing but hopefully after a second coating of glue they will be sorted.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
I first found out about this lipstick through another blog, but I had been wanting a really light baby pink for absolutely ages. After seeing it on the blog I went shopping with two of my friends and when we walked past mac I couldn't resist.<br />
<br />

This has a 'lustre' finish to it which basically means it gives a gorgeous shine and catches the light. The packaging to this product is so lovely, it comes in a black box with a red Lady Gaga signature written across the writing and then has a little Lady Gaga signature on body. Normally they have silver bodies and 'mac' written on the lid in silver but due to this being a special edition it is in red. I really like this attention to detail although the pink of the lipstick does however clash with the red body... The colour is really pigmented and super glossy.<br />

It applies really nicely to my lips and the pointed top makes it very easy to do precise application. I really love the colour and it's also super moisturizing.<br />

It costs £13.50 and is very pricey for a lipstick and I'm not completely blown away with this so if I can't find a cheaper version then I would be willing to buy it again but would rather spend less. This is one of the most expensive lipsticks I've ever brought, just being over taken by a benefit silky-finish one. All in all I am very happy with this product and am excited to wear it lots this month, it's a perfect wintery colour, with the snow and all! Which sadly I haven't been able to go out in because I'm ill :(<br />
<br />
Now can't wait for the Nicki Minaj 'Pink Friday' release..<br />
<br />
Is it snowing where you are?<br />

<div>
This product is just so cool, when I first saw an advert for it I knew I had to try it out! I wasn't expecting much, it was going to be more of a fun product and when I found it in Superdrug for a discounted price I bought it before I could change my mind. </div>
<div>

At first when you spray it out an absolute mass comes onto your hands so it's extremely hard to fine the right shade and takes whole load of baby wipes, but once you get the hang of it you can get out a small size amount. This product has to be applied with fingers as a sponge doesn't give any coverage and is very hard to blend. So for this reason when I first used it I really didn't like it but after trying it with my fingers it worked really well for me. </div>

<div>
One thing you have to watch out for with this product is that it dries a different colour to what is in the bottle, so if you don't work it right up to the hair line and down your neck then you'll get really bad tide lines, trust me I have suffered from this with this product and it's not pretty! This doesn't dry with a liquid finish however it dries more like a powder so is totally buildable without looking cakey which is really good!</div>

All in all it retails at £8.99 and isn't heavy on the skin or cakey yet gives great coverage as well as been super cool and fun to apply! I would definitely buy this again and is a great 'weekend' foundation. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
One of my friends actually got me this for my birthday and it's literally my new go-to lip product, I wear it every single day. I had always looked at Gilly Hick's makeup but never brought any and I wasn't expecting getting any for my birthday but I'm so glad I did.<br />

The lipgloss is such a nice 'natural' lip pinky red and has really fine glitter in it which isn't even noticeable at first. The colour comes out really pigmented but not too strong and over powering so it's also really sheer at the same time. It smells <b>amazing, </b>of like a mixture of sugar, fudge and toffee and it also tastes so good. The gloss lasts about half an hour and the colour lasts about an hour so for a lipgloss that's pretty average. It's packaging is so nice and sleek and looks really high-end and classy. The colour is very similar to <a href="http://www.bloomcosmetics.com/store-lips/lip-gloss/lip-gloss.phps" target="_blank">Bloom's lip gloss in Girlie</a> just with a little extra glitter.<br />

Overall it costs £12 but you can get them on a 2 for £10 offer which doesn't even make sense because then who would only buy one? I would definitely buy this product again and again, I love it and it is part of my daily routine now and I can't do my everyday makeup without it!<br />

Have you tried any Gilly Hicks Makeup? What did you think?<br />

So my first group of products I've loved are my lip products.<br />

I chose the Gilly Hicks Lipcolor because I wear this literally everyday and it's such a great natural lip colour, it matches my lips so well!! I got the mac dazzleglass for christmas and love,love,love it, I love nudes in makeup and this is such a great nudey-beige lipgloss with the bonus amazing glitter. I chose this L'Oreal Lipstick as it is such a great bright colour for going out and giving a bit of POP to your look, it's also super creamy and moisturizing. I also got the Laqa and Co Lip Pencil for christmas and I love it, as well as nudes in makeup, I love really light pinks like this, although this lip pencil isn't very hard wearing and smells quite funny. Finally I threw the Lush Lipscrub in here because it smells aaamazing and is made of sugar so it is totally edible, it just gets your lips so super smooth and chap free.</div>

These products I have used pretty much everyday without a doubt during the whole of January and they are all actually products brought newly in January! The concealer is the best concealer I have ever used and if you can I strongly advise you to get your hands on this little monster as you won't regret it! The powder is so nice and smooth, if not a shade a tad to light for my skin, but still gives great light coverage results for everyday wear. Finally the Garnier BB cream is just so nice and is basically a tinted moisturizer but with that little extra 'kick' and again great for everyday light coverage results. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I only have one cheek product this month which is a blusher which is actually surprising because I have been obsessed with blushers lately. I brought one right at the beginning which was awful (check bottom of this post) and then I got this and I also really want two from mac and one from sleek but it's never in stock... and the mac ones are expensive so I have to think about it before making the investment. This blush is so nice and shimmery but I just wish the blusher's glitter transferred onto my cheeks better! This colour is a tad to bold for every day use but great for weekends. </div>

The Benefit Mascara, They're Real, is their latest addition to their collection and is so nice. I, as I have mentioned so many times, am so picky about mascaras and this one is really nice, it gives me great definition and length, I love it! I have worn it literally everyday this month. These other two eyeshadows are so great especially together and I will definitely be doing an Eye of the Day with them soon! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Okay so firstly the Maybelline blusher is awful!! It has absolutely no pigmentation what so ever and doesn't even show up on my skin...I don't even know how they can sell a product like this.... definitely a hate of January! Secondly the L'Oreal concealer is just really bad and doesn't give you any coverage, it also doesn't have a peachy undertone so will not match anyones skin tone... Finally Benefit High Beam, now I felt like this had to have a mention in this post somewhere, however I've only discovered a way to make this product work and give results right at the end of the month so haven't liked it for long enough to really be able to put in my favorites part. Although before I found out this method of application I absolutely hated this product so I thought I should put it in worst products, I'm sure you'll be seeing it in next months favorites however so don't worry!</div>

Cream Miracle Skin Perfector<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">in Light</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
Now I'm sure you have all heard about B.B. cream as it has been the craze of the moment lately. It has been a huge hit in Asia and has recently been brought to the UK and America where it has been an instant best seller. B.B stands for blemish balm and the cream is meant to 'even tone and boost glow, blur imperfections, smooth lines, give 24hr hydration, and has SPF 15' It has a recommended age use of between under 20 to 40 and is basically a tinted moisturizer but with that little extra..boost.<br />

It comes in a 50ml small tube which fits into a makeup bag perfectly. I did however think it being this size would mean it would run out quickly but I've had it over three weeks now and have worn it pretty much everyday and it hasn't shown any signs of running out anytime soon. It has a peachy tone to it (check out my concealer review where I expressed the importance for this <a href="http://ditziedoll.blogspot.com/2012/01/review-loreal-and-collection-2000.html" target="_blank">here</a>) so it blends in with my skin tone really well. It only has a very light coverage so it won't hide any blemishes but it will cover any kind of blotchy-ness on your skin and dull the redness of those spots. It just gives you a really nice overall even skin-tone and with a small bit of concealer you cant go wrong. This being called 'blemish balm' however led me to believe it would help get rid of my spots and be better for my skin then foundation but it hasn't really helped that, my existing spots haven't gone (yes they haven't gotten bigger either) and I have gained yet more smaller spots. So I do believe on the skin front it's better to use my mac powder although this does give me a guilty-free feeling and it is very moisturizing so I'm drawn between the two! Which should I wear on a everyday basis?? Heeelp<br />

In these pictures (before and after) it doesn't really show much difference but in real life my skin looks a lot smoother and even and I have a much healthier skin tone.<br />

This product costs around £7.49 and I don't actually know if I would buy it again, yes its good and has done what it says it's meant to on the box but I don't know if prefer powder then tinted moisturizer so I'm a bit drawn between two products at the moment. It does have a good staying power but you will need to top up on concealer if you want a day long flawless coverage. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
I know you have all heard of Nars Orgasm as it has been the craze blush of the year, everyone has been raving about. A couple of weeks ago I went shopping and saw it in SpaceNK, I asked the assisant if I could buy it so she went and got one for me and wrapped it up in a little bag for me. Sadly when I got home I found out she had actually given me super orgasm. I wasn't too upset though because they are so similar.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I loved this colour because it was so shimmery and glittery but sadly the glitter doesn't actually transfer onto my cheeks that well so it isn't actually glittery when worn. It is however very pigmented which is good and I absolutely love the packaging. Nars have such nice sleek matte black cases which is just so classy and nice. It is a very strong colour so can only really be worn when going out or on special occasions and is a very summery colour so it makes me so excited for july when I just look at it.<br />

<br />
In all it costs £20.50 and I don't think I'll be buying it again but I definitely want to try 'orgasm' when this one runs out. Don't get me wrong though, I love this blusher its such a nice colour and lasting effect but I just wish the glitter actually came through onto my cheeks.<br />
<br />
Do you know any good glitter blushes?<br />

Just put it on your cheek bones and blend with the smugger' and passed it to me. I put it on and at first didn't really see much difference but as soon as my cheeks hit the light they had such a nice shimmery champagne glow to them. So I went home and put it on my christmas list and my granny actually gave it to me for my birthday.<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsT-kJOHPHA8QtPCZvKCwj0bIB45iPw777_W0H9u_1rFg2TUBm8AF2WRZQiYSxFf4gXy5M0WPbp2TJcoBBkQSEOCADPV3l_W7Mh-em8HfOkDFHCjKwzAsvExqMT22aILvotwhSSLaZx6x6/s1600/watts_up_Benefit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsT-kJOHPHA8QtPCZvKCwj0bIB45iPw777_W0H9u_1rFg2TUBm8AF2WRZQiYSxFf4gXy5M0WPbp2TJcoBBkQSEOCADPV3l_W7Mh-em8HfOkDFHCjKwzAsvExqMT22aILvotwhSSLaZx6x6/s320/watts_up_Benefit.jpg" width="190" /></a></div>
<div>
So it basically is a 'soft focus highlighter' and is in the most gorgeous shimmery champagne colour. It also comes with a small round sponge on the bottom, which, for a built in makeup tool, is surprisingly good, it's so soft and bouncy. I love the packaging for this product, its so nice and not too 'glarey' as some benefit products can be. It's in fact very tasteful. It is very pigmented and sososososo shimmery which I LOVE. It's also very easy to apply and quick, just glide and blend. I apply mine along my cheek bones, along and above my temples and lightly on my brow bones. It does exactly what it is meant to do and I give it very high creds. It does however give a quite dark/mid tone highlight, due to it being a champagne colour, whereas high beam gives a much brighter and lighter highlight so for the moment in the winter I'm using highbeam but in summer this will go really nicely with bronzer so I'll wear it once it gets hotter. I've tried my hardest to photograph it's effect but it was quite hard to get the lighting right so this is the best I could do...</div>

It retails at £24.50 and at the moment I don't know if I'd buy it again, I think I'll have to wait till the summer when I where it everyday to know. So watch out for my summer months monthly favorites and if it's in there then that will probably mean I'd buy it again if not then I probably wouldn't. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
I've been wanting a bright pink lipstick for a while now but knew I would only wear it on occasion so didn't really want to spend lots of money on it. I was lucky enough to find this L'Oreal one in my local supermarket in their 'bargain bucket' for just £1.50 and of course snapped it up quickly before anyone else could. It was the exact colour I had visioned just a really bright pink. The one thing I did notice about it though was it said 'brunette' on the lid, and I am quite the opposite and extremely fair. I was worried this would be a problem and the colour would not suite me but there was no need to worry it looked absolutely fine so by all means don't be put off by their colouring labels there only rough guidelines.<br />

In this picture it doesn't really do the lipstick justice, it's showing it as more of a baby bright pink but it is actually a lot more of a hot bright pink!<br />
This colour is so nicely pigmented and super creamy which makes it so moisturizing. It also smells amazing!! Of parma violets, yum my fave!! It doesn't really taste of much though. It has a sharp point at the tip of the 'stick' which can also be really useful for lining your lips before application. It goes on so creamy and smoothly and as I said before is super moisturizing. If applied really lightly and rubbed in it also makes a really nice baby pink colour.<br />

<br />
Sadly in all of these pictures it's coming up like a baby pink rather then a hot pink so just imagine. So all in all I am super glad I got this product and I absolutely love it! It lasts ages as well so big thumbs up! It is retailed at £8.19 and even though I got it for considerably less I would definitely be willing to pay the full price for it, its totally worth it!!! The line comes in a range of 8 colours and I will be sure to try out the others in due course.<br />
<br />
Have you tried any of the L'Oreal Color Riche Lipsticks? How did they compare for you?<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
Hey guys, I'm reviewing two products for you today as I feel like lately I've been only doing bad reviews so I thought I'd throw in a good product in this review to cheer it up a bit! So firstly, L'Oreal true match concealer, this one I brought first on a trip to my local supermarket. I got it because I was bored of using my current concealer, benefit erase paste, as I like change and like to swap my beauty products around every now and then I thought I should get a new one. I saw this one and decided to get it as L'Oreal has always pleased me, I've never had any shocker products from there before.<br />

The other one I got was Collection 200 Lasting Perfection Concealer which I brought after the L'Oreal one. I got this one from superdrug and chose it because I've heard so many people rave over this so I was really excited to try it out. I have never really tried much Collect 2000 products before so wasn't expecting much but thought I would give it a go.<br />

<br />
I'll start with the L'Oreal one, this was literally the worst concealer I have ever tried. I was really disappointed with L'Oreal and will now buy their products with caution. It has a very watery consistency and when applied it just dissolves into your skin not covering anything up. On the bottle it says 'skin tone matching correcting concealer' which basically means if the colour is slightly off your actually skin colour then it will adjust it's self to suit you. If by saying this they mean it just disappears into your skin and doesn't do anything then yes it does that very well. Also the colour range is really bad for this because when buying a concealer you want it to be quite pinky as your skin isn't actually completely 'nude' it has pink undertones and in having a pinky concealer it will work with you skin much much much better. This concealer is just very disappointing and I don't recommend it to anyone, infact I recommend staying as far away from it as possible.<br />
As for the Collection 2000 one, this is a whole new story. This is probably the best concealer I've used. I'm raving over it like crazy. It's so good. The colour suits my skin so well (looks a tad dark in the swatch, not sure why) It has a really nice thick consistency which makes it really good for covering but does make it a tad heavy on the skin. It, as I mentioned above as being important, has a slightly pinky/peachy touch to it which makes it blend to your skin really well. It also works really well as an under eye concealer so now space isn't taken up in my makeup bag with my Garnier Anti-Dark Circles Tinted eye roll on (it actually works better then it). I also am now not caking my face with products, because I used to have to put a redness reducing green concealer on underneath my erase paste but due to this miraculous concealer I no longer need to, so definitely pluses on the skin care front. It is supposedly meant to last 16 hours and it definitely doesn't give you the full coverage all this time but there is still enough product left to dull the redness and make your spots less obvious.<br />

The L'Oreal concealer costs £6.99 and although that is relatively cheap its NOT worth it. Just no. As for the Collection 2000 concealer this one costs £4.19, not only is it cheaper but its 10 billion times better!! I can't stress enough how good this concealer is. I will be buying this over and over again, it has definitely got a secure first class seat in my makeup bag. </div>

<br />
I got this blusher on a trip to my local supermarket a couple weeks back. I actually went to get their dream soft blusher but they didn't have the colour I wanted. So instead I got this as its a really lovely light rosey pink, very neutral and easy for everyday wear.<br />

This product was actually very disappointing and when put on it is barely visible, it takes about five layers before you can even notice it. There for it doesn't last at all. When swatched on my hand, just like my face, it is barely noticeable. The colour also has no shimmer or glitter which I was looking forward to because I want a matte blush for everyday wear and a shimmer for going out or evening wear but I guess I'll have to wait because this is definitely not the ticket. </div>

Hey again, another birthday product for you guys today. I was so happy when I got this as I had wanted it for ridiculously long, I had brought it once ages ago and lost it the next day (d'oohh) I wasn't expecting to get it and was super excited when I did! I had heard such good things about this and couldn't wait to try it out!<br />

I prefer to use liquid liner or gel on my upper lids so I only wanted this kohl liner for my waterline, so the blender wasn't important to me. Now I chose this product because I believed, it being waterproof and all, that it would be really strong and long lasting. This product however was very disappointing. It goes on very faint and more grey then black and I have to layer it on before its even strong enough to be noticeable. Then within an hour most of it has worn off.... whereas when swatched it shows up really dark and strong.... maybe its better for upper lids and that was all it was designed for?</div>

<br />
First up isn't an individual product but a brand I recently found out about and I wanna try out, Lily Lolo, a makeup brand. They make mineral makeup and have the CUTEST packaging! And as a bonus they are animal cruelty free and are against animal testing - Definitely a bonus in my book! Their makeup is at a midrange price as it costs more then a drugstore company but less then high-end brand.<br />
<br />

The main product I want to try out is their mineral concealer <a href="http://www.lilylolo.co.uk/sp+mineral-concealer+005" target="_blank">here</a> as I have never tried one before and I feel they might be better for my skin! Another thing I love is their white brush case which is so lovely but can be only bought with a whole load of brushes as well which is such a pain.. as I already have most of the brushes I want!<br />

My Second thing I want to try out and I'm sure you've all heard of these is the Glossybox! If you are from America you may know of Birchbox? These are monthly packages that incline five high-end beauty samples for you to try out before spending your money! They cost £10 pounds a month which I think is a really good deal because sometimes you get full size products that would normally cost around £17 and more for only £10 so you are actually getting you money back! The packing is so nice and classy. They come in a little pink box and are then wrapped in tissue paper! You also get a card explaining the products and telling you their full price.</div>

Finally I want to talk about something that has been huge in the US lately, the Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush, they are literally so cool!! When I first saw them my mouth dropped wide open, they are like a memory foam mattress but a blusher!! You can push them down and they'll bounce right back up again! They have a powder-gel formulation so it goes on almost like a cream but dries as a powder, just want I've been looking for! They come in 10 different shades but the colour I'm lusting over is 'pink frosting' ! Sadly they are only available in america at the moment but hopefully they will be released in the UK soon!! They currently retail at $7.99 which is around £5. The only problem I have with these though are their size.. they are very small and look more like an eyeshadow then a blush.<br />

<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Heya Guys, how's it going? So I got this product for my birthday from a family friend and love it! I've been wanting it for ageeeesssss and finally got my mitts on it! I was so happy and couldn't wait to try it out! It is a powder that is supposed to matte your face and set your foundation, it is meant to have little coverage and look natural!</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From the moment I first used this product I was pleased, it made my skin look so nice and smooth. At first I was worried though because I didn't choose the shade and it looked quite pale, even for my skin tone, but it worked fine! The powder as mentioned above doesn't have a high coverage and won't cover up any spots but if you have slightly blotchy skin like me then it should cover that right up and give you a flawlessly even skin tone. It is best applied with a big powder brush although you can use a sponge. The product is meant for over foundation and acts great on its own for those lighter coverage days as well. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
Yet another mascara review for you today ;)... When I first heard about this mascara coming out I really wasn't interested and just passed it off as another one of Benefit's faulty over priced products (not everything is but some products from benefit are shockingly bad for the price they are sold at) until I saw an American shopping channel talking about it, explaining the product and what it does, and when they put the 'before and after' photos on the screen I was blown away, the difference was mind blowing. The person's eyelashes were so long and separated and just generally amazing!! It was like the mascara I have been looking for all these years and I had finally found it! So straight away it went on my christmas list... sadly to my dismay come christmas day I didn't get it... luckily not long after christmas I have my birthdaay so I asked for it again and my Gran gave it to me along with 'watt's up' (review to follow soon) I was so happy and couldn't wait to try it out! One thing I love about this mascara is the little quote on the back of the bottle 'beyond mascara' I thought this was a nice enticing touch.<br />

The first time I used it I really wasn't blown away by it's effect but as I've used it more and more my love for it has increased and compared to my other mascaras it definitely goes that little extra step. As I said in my previous post, I am very picky about my mascaras and still haven't found that dream mascara I need but this is the closest yet. According to Benefit this mascara is supposed to add length, curl, volume, lift and separation. As you can see in the photos below it definitely adds length which is fantastic!! It adds a small amount of curl but not masses, you would have to use a lash curler before hand for a proper curl! It gives great definition and separates my lashes brilliantly. The one downfall for this mascara is that it doesn't add volume to my lashes at all. If anything it thins them out... overall though thats ticking 3 boxes and a half out of 5 so benefit is sticking to its words well... can't say this happens a lot though... you can also see it compared to another benefit mascara that I'm sure you all know about 'BAD gal lash' now to me these mascaras look pretty much the same in these pictures...<br />

This product lasts pretty much all day with little fall out, although you do lose that length and curl by the end of the day. All in all this product is really good and definitely up there in my top three mascaras. It costs £18.50 and only comes in black for the time being, this is by far the most I've ever spent on a mascara and it is ridiculously expensive but I would buy it again as it does perform well and does pretty much everything it's said to do.<br />
<br />
What are your top three mascaras?<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
When I first heard about this mascara when it came out a couple months back I HAD to get my hands on it! So the next time I went shopping I picked it up! Now this mascara is supposedly meant to volume your lashes like you've never seen before... hence the name, volume million lashes. It also has a built in 'anti-clump wiper' to remove any clumps on the brush as you pull it out of the bottle. I have to say, this works! When I look at the brush before application there isn't a clump in sight!!<br />

I have to say, I'm very picky about mascaras and tend to pick out the bad points rather than the good! It is absolutely clump free and it definitely added definition but I cant say it added volume... it actually reduced the amount of eyelashes I have by joining them together so yes my eyelashes were 'bigger' but there weren't as many of them as I would have hoped! Here are some pictures of it's effect...</div>

<br />
As you can see 'They're Real' by benefit adds more length and definition but 'Volume Million Lashes' definitely adds more volume but still not a lot.... this product does last really well though and has little fall out during the day. It is priced at £11.29 at boots and is definitely worth it, I would definitely buy this product again and again and it is up there in my top mascaras!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So just after christmas me and my sister went to a Mac store to get makeovers for new years eve and I picked up two eyeshadows. The woman doing the makeovers said that their paint pots are supposedly meant to last 8 hours without creasing if you use them as a base to any eyeshadow - better then their eyeshadow primer. When told these things you always have to take it with a pinch of salt because make-up companies will always try and get you to buy their products by saying things that aren't necessarily true...but I liked the colour and the effect so much that I decided to get it, along with a powder eyeshadow (paint pots have a cream formulation)</span> </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span">Okay so my first impressions were good, I loved the soft creamy formulation of the paint pot and the eyeshadow gave a really good pigmented colour when swatched on my hand (as you can see below). The name, however, confuses me...when I think of charcoal I think of a very dark grey/black colour and this being called 'charcoal brown matte' would make me think it would be a very dark almost grey brown but instead it is a relatively light soft brown, for me I prefer this but I don't really know why they chose to call it this..As for the paint pot in the container its a very mid tone nude with a hint of peach, when swatched it gives an almost champagne colour and it loses that peach and gains more of a brown but it is otherwise very pigmented! It has very nice soft feel and isn't too heavy, although this is a nude colour and I can imagine their more coloured ones to be a lot heavier in colour. Here are some swatches..</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span">Now for the lasting effect of these products, the paint pot lasts all day without creasing which makes me very happy and pleased with the product. For the eyeshadow, I've never tried the colour on it's own without the paint pot as a base so I cant tell it's lasting effect for when it's on it's own but with the paint pot as a base the colour will last all day! However it doesn't stay put, by the end of the evening it will have smudged and faded a little so keep the pot and some makeup remover handing for a touchup. The colour can be applied lightly for a slight tint of brown on heavily for a darker full on brown. Both products, due to being from mac, are on the pricey side at, £12 for the eyeshadow and £14.50 for the paint pot. I think the paint pot is definitely worth it! It's a great product that lasts all day and gives your lids that healthy glow! Whereas for the shadow, I wouldn't recommend buying it, it's not an amazing product that blew me away and there for with the price being £12 it would be a lot more cost effective to get a drugstore product rather then one from mac. </span></div>
