<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week I told you about my love for kale and how it makes a <a href="http://ramblingmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/nails-inc-nailkale-superfood-base-coat.html?utm_source=bp_recent&utm-medium=gadget&utm_campaign=bp_recent" target="_blank">brilliant Base Coat</a>, well my love affair continues and it has now found its way into my moisturiser. I'm sure I'm going to turn into a kale plant if I'm not careful! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This moisturiser contains a whole bunch of superfood components including Kale, Watercress and Almond oil to help nourish the skin and protect it from external aggravation. It also contains Aloe Vera and Shea butter to deeply moisturise and calm the skin. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These ingredients are wonderful for the skin, but they do make for a moisturiser that smells very much like a green smoothie. So if you have a sensitive nose I'm not sure this product is for you. Though after some getting use to I actually found the smell to be quite refreshing!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a very thick moisturiser that I found to take a while to sink in to my skin, and also left it feeling a little tacky, so I liked to use this in the evenings. I found that two pumps was the perfect amount to cover my face, any more and it would never have sunk in!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After using this moisturiser I found that my skin was softer and plumper in the morning! I have combination skin and it didn't aggravate any spot prone areas, however if you do have skin on the oily side I would use this with caution.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This moisturiser costs £19.95 and lasted me around 6 months only using it in the evenings. I would definatly consider repurchasing it and trying more from the range, you can buy it here: <a href="http://www.boots.com/nip-fab-kale-dry-skin-fix-moisturiser-50ml-10203879" target="_blank">Nip+Fab Kale fix - £19.95.</a></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing my skin needs going from Winter to Spring is radiance and moisture. Winter really takes it out of my skin leaving it dull and dry, so when I saw a radiance balm that only cost £2.99 (yes, you read that correctly £2.99!) I had to pick it up, and here is why I think you should to.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wArrF65IEHvIvM4kcLXxLGfMv_ywfySy7qDtv1INFenwSXnoYMtZps8zY3q0IhckeMrL7xT8mxydSF8KCf2GFhThGH7Ift7QDwvs05RFJhdUOw4mAULlDuY1yEwVMu9fMYFQazldkkcN/s1600/Botanics+radiance-4077.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Boots Botanics All Bright Radiance Balm review" border="0" height="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wArrF65IEHvIvM4kcLXxLGfMv_ywfySy7qDtv1INFenwSXnoYMtZps8zY3q0IhckeMrL7xT8mxydSF8KCf2GFhThGH7Ift7QDwvs05RFJhdUOw4mAULlDuY1yEwVMu9fMYFQazldkkcN/s640/Botanics+radiance-4077.jpg" title="" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The All Bright Radiance balm comes in squeezey tube packaging, that can make it hard to control the amount of product that comes out. There have been far too many times when product has exploded out at me! So when using make sure you only give it a tiny little squeeze.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The balm itself has a light peach colour to it that helps to colour correct the face, and has this gorgeous gentle shimmer to it. I was really surprised at this as for the price I was half expecting big chunks of glitter to come out! It also contains Hibiscus and AHA's that gently exfoliate the skin leaving your skin softer and naturally brighter each time you apply it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When applying it has a think consistency like a moisturiser, so you only need a little bit when you apply, and it sinks in quickly. It also has a really lovely fresh smell, which isn't too overpowering. I like to use this as a primer, especially if I'm applying a thick matte foundation, as it really helps to illuminate and soften my skin which ensures a flawless foundation application.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In fact before this product I hadn't been able to apply some of my thicker coverage foundations as they would cling to dry patches. But after using this my skin is so much smoother that I don't have to worry about dry patches any more! </span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love how healthy my skin looks after applying this balm, and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since I started off the week with a Charlotte Tilbury review, I thought I would end the week with one too. I really do have an obsession with her makeup! These little eye shadow pots really caught my eye as they looked very luxurious sitting on the counter, and since I have a massive weakness for gold toned eye shadows I had to pick one up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
The Eyes to Mesmerise collection is a set of cream eye shadows that I think have a really unique texture. It is almost like water and is very cooling on the eyes when you apply it, which I actually quite like, but it did take me by surprise when I first applied it!</div>
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I picked up the shade Bette which is a beautiful amber toned gold, and when I wear it I get a lot of compliments as it brings out the blue in my eyes. To apply you only need the tiniest bit as the shadow is very pigmented. I literally just tap my brush lightly into the pot and that gives me enough to cover one eye, so this small pot will last a while! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because of the texture, I find that it is easier to apply with either my fingers or a small dense brush. I would also say because of the water like texture it does take a little while to dry down on the lid, otherwise it will crease.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you apply it you can either build it up to a strong metallic finish or leave it as a sheer wash of colour. It is really easy to blend out and once it has dried down it basically lasts on my lids all day! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kale is one of the most well know superfoods, and somehow it has managed to make its way into nail varnish of all things! But personally I'm a massive fan of the superfood so I had to try out this Nails Inc base coat, to see what if it actually made any difference to my nails.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This nail varnish is enriched with Superfood extracts, as well as vitamins A, C, E, F and H to help boost the production of keratin and nourish the nails. Not only can it be used as a base coat but it can also be used as an intense treatment by applying it three times a week.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This base coat is quick drying and leaves the nails nice and smooth for colour application. I've been using this base coat for around a year now, and I can honestly say I don't think I'd try another one. When I first started using it my nails were brittle, weak and constantly breaking, but now they are stronger than ever and grow so much faster too! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I use this every time I paint my nails and have also used it as a treatment, and I still have the same bottle I bought a year ago! So even though a bottle costs £15, which seems very steep for a base coat, I would definitely recommend you try it if your nails have seen better days. You can buy it here: <a href="http://www.boots.com/nails-inc-nailkale-superfood-base-coat-14ml-10184502" target="_blank">Nails Inc NailKale - £15.</a></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am going to start this blog post with a bold statement: This is the best nude lipstick. Well at least for me it is, and I own a lot of nude lipsticks! I have an obsession for Charlotte Tilbury makeup. It looks gorgeous, feels gorgeous and this lipstick is no exception, and is possibly the best beauty purchase I've ever made.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just like the <a href="http://ramblingmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/charlotte-tilbury-love-liberty-matte.html" target="_blank">Love Liberty</a> matte revolution lipstick Bond Girl has the most gorgeous formula. It doesn't drag on the lips at all when you apply, and it also doesn't leave your lips looking like you haven't touched a glass of water in 5 years!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This lipstick is really easy to apply with the square shaped tip, and builds up nicely without going flaky or patchy. The lasting time of this lipstick is amazing! It lasts for 5 hours or more if I apply it over the top of the <a href="http://ramblingmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/charlotte-tilbury-lip-cheat-in-pillow.html" target="_blank">Pillow Talk</a> lip liner, and even though this is a matte lipstick I find it really soft and comfortable to wear all day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shade of this lipstick is a brown toned nude with slight undertones of red and berry, which is something I am yet to find a perfect dupe of. I find this is the perfect lipstick for both everyday wear and for special occasions where your eye makeup is a bit heavier. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> My mum has a thing for Manuka honey and is always trying to convenience me to eat it. However, even though it has great health benefits, I think it tastes disgusting! So when I found this New Zealand based brand Antipodes, that use Manuka honey in their skincare, I thought instead of eating it I'll apply to my face instead! </span></div>

</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Antipodes is a brand that really speaks to me as it focuses on science, and using organic ingredients to create their products. This gel cleanser contains kiwi, manuka honey and Vinanza grape which helps to clean the face, whilst gently exfoliating it and reduce oil production.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has a slight watery consistency to it, so be careful when you squeeze it from the bottle as it can get messy! It is also</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> scented with green apple and cardamon, though I wasn't keen on this scent as it smelt to me like shampoo, but I quickly got use to it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I liked to use this in the morning and as my second cleanse in the evening with my <a href="http://ramblingmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/foreo-luna-play.html" target="_blank">Foreo Luna Play</a>, to really help cleanse my skin. This cleanser worked really well with my skin and I did notice a reduction in blemishes whilst I was using it. If you have dry skin though I wouldn't recommend it, as it would sometimes leave my skin feeling a bit tight. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really enjoyed using this cleanser and would definitely consider repurchasing it. A bottle costs £24.99, which is a bit on the pricey side, however since you only need a small amount of it (roughly a 10p size) for it to lather, so it does last ages! You can buy it here: <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/Antipodes-Juliet-Skin-Brightening-Gel-Cleanser-200ml" target="_blank">Antipodes Juliet cleanser - £24.99.</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Budget skincare is something I've always enjoyed testing, and since graduating from uni and being unemployed, I've been testing a lot of it! Boots has always been my favourite place to discover new skincare, and when I saw the Botanics range on special offer I thought I'd pick out some items to try.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Recently my skin has gone from being oily to dry, back to oily and then somewhere in between. So I decided to pick up the hydrating day cream as I find it's easier to treat slightly oily skin than flaky dry patches.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This cream has a bouncy gel like texture that you only need a small amount of to cover your entire face. So this face cream is really great value for money! It sinks in really quick and leaves my skin feeling beautifully soft, it also has a really delicate fresh scent that I love.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What I'm most happy about with this moisturiser is that it hasn't caused my skin to break out at all, which is a very rare thing. Even though it is specified as a day cream I have used this both morning and night with no problems what so ever.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been a while, but today I have decided to share another "recipe" on my blog. I say "recipe" because I more think that it's just an idea and would encourage you too customize it to your taste! </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now this may be an unpopular opinion, but I do not like avocado on toast, or really avocado in general (it has a weird texture to me), but when I had this at Comptoir Libanais I had to recreate it for my when I'm at home! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Chop up the tomatoes, olives, spring onion and feta cheese and add it to the avocado.<br /><br />Mix everything together and add the olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and chili.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Toast your bread. If I have a bit of extra time I'll cut off thicker slices and put them on the griddle pan with some garlic oil, for extra flavour.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Then add your avocado mixture on top of the toast, drizzle on your dressing and add hummus on the side</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a love hate relationship with painting my nails. I love the look of my nails when they are painted and neat, but sometimes fitting the time in to paint them can seem like a chore! So when Essie brought out their own gel nail range promising to last 12 days, I couldn't wait to try them!</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First off the bottles for these nail polishes are gorgeous! They feel and look very luxurious and they are definitely unique as I haven't seen anything like them anywhere else, though this could be for a reason. When you have them out on display they look very pretty, but when trying to store them I find that the shape doesn't allow them to stack nicely together so they take up more room, but I'll look past this as they are that pretty! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have the shades 'rock the runway', a very lovely bright red, and 'couture curator, which is a bright Barbie pink colour. I love the red shade, but couture curator is just not for me! Though it does really enhance a tan, if you've just got back from holiday.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Both shades apply really well with no streaks, and I find that two coats is more than enough for a full opaque colour. The topcoat also applies smoothly and drys usually within 20 minutes, depending on how thick the coats I've done are! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A great feature about these polishes is that not only is the bottle twisted, the brush handle is twisted as well! This is so nail polish is captured on the brush, so it doesn't drip off and ruin your nails or surrounding areas! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the instructions it says you can apply without a base coat, but I find on my nails it applies easier and lasts longer with one. The first time I applied it I was really disappointed as it only lasted 3 days! Though that must have been a fluke as every other time I have managed to get around 8-10 days, that's still not the whole 12 but in my eyes it's very impressive! Couture curator also managed to last 14 days on my toes without chipping off! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Lip liners have always escaped my attention for two reasons: first I am too lazy for an extra step in my makeup routine, and two I never saw the point of them. However, last year when I had easy access to a Charlotte Tilbury counter I was talked into buying Pillow talk by some friends and I'm so glad I did!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As far as lip liners go the packaging is pretty and very typically Charlotte Tilbury with the gold. I like the size and width of the pencil as it's easy to use and hold, and it has the colour of the pencil at the bottom, which makes it handy if you have more than one! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The texture of this pencil is like velvet. It's soft, but not to the point that it's too creamy to work with and slips off the lips. The colour is a gorgeous rose/brown toned nude, which goes perfectly with the Bond Girl lipstick from Charlotte Tilbury, and once applied it has a matte finish, that is not drying on the lips. The colour for me is almost identical to my natural lip colour so I also find it very easy to over-line my lips if I can ever be bothered! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The longevity of this lip liner is amazing, and I find it can easily last 7 hours without it fading or going patchy! It also helps to make my nude lipsticks last all day too. I wore this on my graduation day and it lasted a whole 10 hours, with only one slight touch up before I went out on stage! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love this lip liner and I have already decided it will be my lip colour of choice for my wedding as I find it really compliments my skin tone, and I know it can last a whole day! This pencil comes in at £16 which is very expensive for a pencil, so if you don't have the money for it there are definitely drugstore dupes available, but if you do want that extra bit of luxury you can buy it her: <a href="http://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/lip-cheat-pillowtalk.html" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk - £16.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I had to pick a favourite skincare item it would definitely be face masks, especially when they come in under £10!

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For an £8 face mask the packaging is really quite special. It comes in glass jar that has quite a weight to it, and it feels and looks quite luxurious sitting on my bathroom counter. However, as much as it is physically appealing, scooping it out of the jar with fingers can become quite messy (especially if you have long finger nails), so I would recommend using a brush to apply it with.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The consistency of this mask is really nice, being not too thin or not too thick, and it has a really fresh and yet calming smell to it. To use you simply apply a layer onto your face and then leave it for 5-10 minutes and then wash off. To wash off I use a flannel, and so far I haven't had any problems with staining.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now just to warn you, if you don't want to know how bad your pores are do not get this mask! When I first looked in the mirror when using this mask I was shocked at how many pores I had, and how big they were! This mask shows every little pore you have when it has dried, but this also allows you to see how it has worked.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once I have washed this face mask off my skin feels so soft and my pores definitely look a lot cleaner! It also helps to calm down any breakouts I have and prevent any more spots from forming. If I really want to go all out I also like to use the <a href="http://ramblingmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/origins-out-of-trouble-mask.html?utm_source=bp_recent&utm-medium=gadget&utm_campaign=bp_recent" target="_blank">Origins Out of Trouble mask</a> afterwards, to really thoroughly cleanse my skin.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If there is one makeup product I can't live without, it is foundation. It is amazing how much more confident I feel with it on, hence why I'm always looking for my next favourite. I've had this foundation now for over a year, and it I'm only just writing it now because I've had a very confusing love hate relationship with it..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
The bottle that this foundation comes in is very luxurious, however, being made from glass I wouldn't say it's the most travel friendly and the matte lid does get very messy (as you can see in the picture..). Though unlike the other NARS foundations it does come with a pump making it easy to use!</div>
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This foundation has a very liquid consistency meaning you have to shake it well before use, but the coverage you get from it is insane! You only really need one pump to cover your whole entire face and it covers up any redness you may have, and if I'm having a particularly bad skin day I only usually need an extra half a pump to cover any imperfection! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When applying this foundation I find that a makeup sponge or buffing brush works well, but you have to be quick as this foundation dries very quickly! So therefore I would recommend working in small sections, rather then trying to do your whole face at once.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now when I first got this foundation I thought I had really oily skin, but when I first applied it all of a sudden I had massive dry patches on my forehead, where the foundation clinged to and looked flaky. So if you have dry skin at all I would stay clear from this, or make sure your skin is thoroughly moisturised before hand.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now when first applied I find this foundation can look a bit cakey, which initially disappointed me, but after a while it settles into the skin giving me a practically flawless complexion, with it's velvet finish! However, this foundation does not give me the 16 hour plus wear as after around 6/8 hours my skin is looking very patchy and my pores look huge on my nose! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So as you can see I have a very mixed opinion on this foundation as it does give a flawless finish if my skin is well prepped, but it doesn't last a whole day. I think if you have really oily skin this foundation would be perfect, but for now I don't think I will repurchase it. This foundation costs £32, which is on the luxury side but it does last for ages, and you can buy it here: <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/nars-all-day-luminous-weightless-foundation/p1815183" target="_blank">NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation.- £32.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bronzer is a relatively new item in my makeup kit which now I wouldn't be without. When I was younger I never saw the point in them and most of the time if I did use one they would look very orange on my somewhat ghost complexion. However once Urban Decay released this beauty I have fallen in love.</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all the packaging is gorgeous, and they must of had bloggers in mind when they designed it as it is both rose gold and has palm trees (Insert heart eye emoji). The packaging seems quite stable as I have done a lot of travelling with this and the product hasn't broken and the design hasn't rubbed off at all!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The actual bronzer itself is just as beautiful as the packaging. I got the shade Sun Kissed which is a light matte bronze shade, that doesn't come up orange at all on my skin tone. It really helps to add warmth to my skin, and also works great as a subtle contour when I'm having a lazy day, but still want my cheekbones to show! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The powder is so incredibly soft as it's been finally milled, and it blends in like a dream. It doesn't come of streaky and is really easy to build up if you want that I've just come back from holiday look. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I feel like I could be having a total crazy moment, and please stop me if I'm right, but I feel like I have already written this blog post. There is something in the back of my mind telling me that I have written about this mask, and yet I cannot find it at all on my blog! Though all this could be because of how much I love this mask, and how I have been meaning to blog about it since January...</span></div>

</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I got this face mask way back in December last year, and I honestly don't know how I could live without it now. Origins have always been well known for their face masks so I finally decided to pick up the Out Of Trouble mask, which contains salicylic acid and zinc oxide that helps to clear spot prone and oily skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first thing I noticed about this face mask is that it has quite a strong smell that reminds me of Olbas oil, so if you have a sensitive nose this may be one to stay clear from. However if you pair this with the <a href="http://ramblingmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/lush-intergalactic-bath-bomb.html" target="_blank">Intergalactic Bath Bomb from Lush</a> you have the perfect cold clearing combo! Though the smell is initially quite strong once applied to the face it fades, and only comes back slightly as you wash it off, so you don't have to deal with the smell for long if you don't like it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To use you simply apply a layer over a clean face and leave it on for 10 minutes whilst you relax, then all you need to do is rinse of with a warm flannel. A thing that I love about this face mask is how easy it is to rinse off, as with the <a href="http://ramblingmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/my-lush-skincare-routine-cupcake.html" target="_blank">Lush Cupcake face mask</a> washing it off could seem like bit of a chore!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As soon as I wash this face mask off I can really notice a difference in my skin, it feels softer and looks clearer! Though sometimes the next day it may have brought out a few under the skin spots, but these clear very quickly after!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been using this face mask pretty much once a weak since the beginning of January and only now have I needed to repurchase! So I would say it's definitely worth that original £24, as it goes a long way! You can buy it here: <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Origins-Mask-Out-of-Trouble-10-Minute-Mask-to-Rescue-Problem-Skin-3-4oz-100ml_34293/" target="_blank">Origins Out Of Trouble - £24</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I am going to review a foundation that I never thought I would love. A few months ago practically the whole beauty community was talking about the new L'oreal cushion foundation, which of course I fell into the hype of, and for once it was a hype that didn't disappoint...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
This foundation comes in a small pot that has two sections: the first section contains a small sponge to use for application and the second larger section contains the actual foundation. The lid also has a very generous sized mirror in that I have found to be very useful. Now in all honesty I'm not a fan on the sponge and end up throwing it away, but the foundation itself is beautiful! </div>
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To use you simply press the sponge into the cushion which releases the foundation, and then you lightly bounce it onto your face. Personally though, I prefer to use my real techniques buffing brush to apply it and then go over it with a makeup sponge, which I find gives it a very natural and even finish.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This foundation has a light to medium coverage that is very easy to build up, and gives a lovely natural finish. I even find that when my skin is looking a bit worse for wear, about three thin layers will pretty much cover any imperfection up! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm now onto my second pot of this, as I have basically used it every single day for the last few months! I have found it to last quite well on my oily skin, even giving me 8 hours of wear! I even used this on my graduation day instead of my Charlotte Tilbury magic foundation, as I think it's that good!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> However the only problem I have noticed is that when the foundation starts to run out it is very difficult to get any out on my brush, as all the foundation moves to the corners of cushion! Now this could be because I'm using a brush instead of the sponge intended, but it does mean it starts to become slightly trickier to get enough foundation out.</span></div>

In part, this was mainly because I wasn't too keen on the scents, and honestly I thought it looked a little young for me. However once I heard about a range being inspired by macaroons, I was far more interested so went in store to have a smell. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First off all this packaging really caught my eye, and I probably would have walked away with the bath latte no matter what the smell was like! The packaging is absolutely gorgeous and I have never seen anything like it before. In my opinion I think it looks more mature than the other Zoella ranges, and it certainly looks very nice sitting in the bathroom.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I first went to smell the range the only thing that wasn't fully sealed was the body mist, and to be completely honest I wasn't that impressed as I could hardly get any scent from it at all, but from the very faint scent that was there I decided it was worth a shot with the Bath Latte and Le Fizz bar.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now these products I'm not disappointed with! The smell is a sweet vanilla, but with a hint of muskiness to it that makes it very comforting and relaxing. The smell also lasts when they are being used in the bath, and also leaves your skin smelling lovely after.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bath latte produces a huge amount of bubbles, so when using it you only need to use the smallest amount. When I first used it I added way too much and almost flooded the bathroom with bubbles! It also leaves the water an almost pale blue, not that you can see this under the bubbles though! </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Le fizz bar is a great concept where you can break off as much as you want and place it into your bath water where they fizz away. Personally I find they are a bit boring as they just sink to the bottom and fizz, so I add them in with the bath latte, and they make the water beautifully soft! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Enhancing my natural eye colour is something I like to do on a daily basis as unfortunately my dark blue eyes never seem to pop, especially on camera. So when I saw these gorgeous eye shadow sticks from Charlotte Tilbury that help to enhance eye colours I had to pick one up!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As with all Charlotte Tilbury products the packaging is just gorgeous! The colour I chose was Champagne Diamonds which is a wonderful gold colour that almost exactly matches the colour of the <a href="http://ramblingmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/becca-cosmetics-champagne-pop.html?utm_source=bp_recent&utm-medium=gadget&utm_campaign=bp_recent" target="_blank">Becca Cosmetics Champagne pop highlighter</a>. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To apply I simply draw it on over the lid and then smudge it in with my finger tip to give it a more smoked out look and to sure it is blended properly. I would recommend doing one eye at a time though as this eye shadow sets quickly, and once it sets that's it, and it does not budge! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This eye shadow really does help to make my blue eyes pop that slight bit more, and the last time on this is incredible. I can wear it all day without it starting to fade at all! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you haven't heard of the Champagne Pop highlighter from the Jaclyn Hill and Becca Cosmetics collaboration I don't know where you've been hiding, as it has been one of the biggest highlighter launches last year! So in April I was finally dragged into all the hype and just had to get one!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This highlighter was my first ever high end highlighter and from the get go I was impressed! First of all I love the cardboard packaging it comes in as I am a total magpie and anything shiny always catches my eye, and honesty I didn't want to throw it away! The actual casing for the highlighter is a matte rubber with a metal top, which I really like, though the rubber section does tend to get my messy finger prints on. The inside also has a really good mirror which is handy for trips out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The actual highlight is a gorgeous peachy gold colour that I think will suit most skin tones. The formula is really soft and blends into the skin beautifully. Now if you are new to highlighters or don't like serious highlighting then I would use this with precaution as it is very pigmented, in fact the first time I used this I could literally see my cheek in the corner of my eye all day as it was so bright! However, if you apply it slowly it is easy to build up to the intensity you want.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To apply I very lightly put my brush in the pan and then tap of the excess, as like I said before you really do only need the tiniest bit! I then blend it onto the top of my cheekbones, down the center of my nose and on my cupids bow. I also use it as an inner corner highlight on my eye if I'm doing a gold eye look to really make my eyes pop! I then repeat this process if I want it more intense.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Trying to get makeup to last on my face throughout the day has always been a massive task that always failed, no matter what I tried. Which wouldn't be too much of a problem if I wasn't too lazy to retouch it, but alas I am. So when I saw a travel sized version of the Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray when I was purchasing a few other bits I couldn't help but pick it up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Urban Decay All nighter setting spray is a very well loved item in the beauty blogging world, and after using it for the last 6 months I can totally see why! First of all I like that this comes in a travel sized version, as like I said with the <a href="http://ramblingmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/foreo-luna-play.html" target="_blank">Foreo Luna Play</a> I like to be able to try products before I fully invest in them (especially when it comes to skin products!).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To use, you simply spray about 5 pumps over your face after you've done your makeup, and that's it, you're set for the day! The mist is really fine so you're not waiting ages for it to dry, and it doesn't interfere with the look of my makeup at all!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first time I used it I honestly couldn't believe how good my makeup looked after 8 hours. Usually by then it's very patchy, smudged and I generally look like one big mess, but with the spray it still looked basically perfect! At first I thought this was a fluke, but after using it for 6 months I can confirm that it wasn't a fluke and this spray works! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Face cleansing. We all know it's important, but if you're like me sometimes it can seem like a tedious task, so anything that can make it more fun and helps to cleanse my face more efficiently wins in my book. This is where the Foreo Luna Play comes in. This handy little tool has definitely helped to improve my cleansing experience. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always wanted to try the original larger size Foreo Luna to see if it would help clear up my skin, and especially to try and unclog some pores that no facial cleanser alone has ever managed to do fully. However at £150 it was a little out of my budget, and something I didn't want to risk spending my money on if it didn't work.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However recently Foreo have bought out the Luna play. It uses the exact same technology but it's the size of a cotton pad and only costs £29. As soon as I saw this I thought now was the perfect time to try it and see if the full size is worth the investment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Luna uses hygienic silicone bristles that pulsate to offer a deeper cleanse as well as gently exfoliate. To use you simply push the little button on the back after applying some cleanser onto your face to turn it on, and then massage it in.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The idea is that you were meant to massage each section of your face for 15 seconds, meaning a total cleansing time of one minute. However, I felt like this wasn't long enough, though this might just mean I have a larger face then most! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I preferred to use this in the evening for my first cleanse (when I was having a makeup free day) as I felt it really helped to cleanse my skin and prep it for my second cleanse, and also it was the only cleanser of mine it worked with as you can't use it with clay or silicone based cleansers. You can use it both in the morning and evening everyday, but I found this broke my skin out a bit, so I opted to only used it every other day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After using the Foreo Luna Play I noticed an immediate difference in the way my skin looked. It was clearer, more radiant and had less texture, it was also incredibly soft! I spent the whole evening telling my family to stroke my face after using it the first time, as it had honestly never felt that good before! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really loved using this little device and will definitely be investing in a full sized one! I think the Luna Play is great for trying out this product and would also be great for travelling. However it only lasts for a month, maybe two depending on how often you use it, and once it's finished you have to throw it away. But I think this is okay as you're paying about £1 a wash., which isn't bad.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can buy the Foreo Luna Play for £29, but I would wait until Look Fantastic or Feel Unique have a sale on, which they quiet often do! They also have a selection of colours to chose from and you can buy one here: <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/FOREO-LUNA-Play-Mint" target="_blank">Foreo Luna Play - £29</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have an obsession; and this obsession is the Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb perfume. This love affair has been going on for many years now and all started with my Nan. My Nan use to wear this all the time and always smelt wonderful, so after telling her this she got me a bottle for every special occasion happening in the year.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now when I say that I have loved this perfume for years I mean it, when we first tried to get it for a present for my Nan we could not find it anywhere! It was only on the off chance that we had a day trip to Paris and found it in one of the Large department stores there, but as the years have gone on it has become much more widely available and a firm favourite for many.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all I love the bottle, it is feminine and yet edgy, and perfectly resembles the name of the perfume as it was meant to represent a hand grenade - hence the term, Flowerbomb. This bottle does not look out of place on any beauty shelve and really adds a touch of luxury.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another really special feature about this perfume is the Viktor & Rolf secret service. Every time you purchase a bottle you get a code in the box that you can enter into the secret service site that allows you to unlock features and information about the brand, and how the perfumes were created. You also may be lucky enough to receive a generous gift from them as well, which is a really special touch that I have not encountered with any other brand.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The scent of this perfume is gorgeous and maybe not what you expect it to be. From the name you would expect a heavy floral scent but instead you get this sweetness from it, but nothing that is sickly sweet (I would compare it kind of to a grown up Britany Spears Fantasy perfume - which probably isn't doing it justice) and this is due to the base note of patchouli, that adds some depth to it.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you first apply it it can come off a bit strong, but quickly it mellows leaving a light scent that really does last all day. Plus you only need a couple of sprays for the perfume to come off strong enough, so a bottle will last you a while.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see this perfume really does hold a special place in my heart and I think I'll be repurchasing it for years to come.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a couple of stressful months of dissertation writing and final exams, I am finally free! Now as you can imagine my skin has been all over the place due to this stress and my poor diet choices (I have literally lived of sugar) but the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum has saved it, and I've already purchased my second bottle of it! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This serum contains vitamin C and antioxidants that help to brighten and even out the skins complexion, as well as being anti-aging. Firstly this serum smells like fresh orange juice, which I love! It really helps to wake me up in the morning, but also it isn't too strong and fades quickly so it should be okay if you have sensitive skin, or a sensitive nose.</div>
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another feature I really like about this serum is the bottle, to get the product out you have to twist the lid slightly and then pump. Which makes this perfect for travelling as you won't get any accidental leakages, which has happened to me too may times before.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can use this serum both in the morning and evening, but because of its lovely energizing smell I only use it in the morning and use my <a href="http://ramblingmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/ren-clearcalm-3-replenishing-gel-cream.html" target="_blank">REN Clear Calm 3 gel in the evening</a>. To use you simply apply around half a pump to a pump to your face, and massage it in after cleansing and before your moistruiser. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This serum sinks very quickly into the skin so there's no waiting around for anything to dry before your next skincare step, and straight after using my skin immediately feels softer and looks that tiny bit more radiant.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been using this now for the last 5 months and my skin loves it! It hasn't caused me to break out at all, and I think it has even helped to prevent breakouts! It has also really evened out my skin tone, reducing redness and scars, and overall it just looks healthier! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This serum isn't the cheapest out there, as I pay £47 for 30ml but it does last for around 4/5 months if you only use it in the morning, and £10 per month isn't too bad price wise! However, if you want to try it out before you commit to the larger size you can buy a 15ml size for £23.50.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Matte liquid lipsticks have been all the rage recently and it is a bandwagon that I am happy to jump on! I find that overall liquid lipsticks are easy to apply and long lasting, which is great for someone like me who to be honest, is just to lazy to touch up my makeup when I'm out! So as soon as these Revlon ones hit the shelf I rushed out to pick them up!</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> First of all I love the packaging as they come in clear containers so you can see exactly how much you have and what colour you're getting, also the slim design of them makes them super easy to store. Which obviously means I can buy more right..?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first thing that I noticed about these lip colours is that they have quite a strong smell which was meant to be mango and vanilla, and to me it smells like jelly beans! The smell is quiet strong, but it does fade so you can't smell it all day, so if you do have a bit of a sensitive nose I would suggest trying one of the in store testers first.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The texture of these lip colours are really soft, they are not too creamy and not too watery and i think they feel really comfortable on the lips. Now even though they say they are matte, I would maybe call it more of a semi-matte/satin finish, which I like as they does feel really comfortable and doesn't cause my lips to flake.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Something I really love about these are the doe foot applicators. I think they are the perfect length and the tip of it is nice and thin making it easy to line the lips, and it gets thinker around the bottom to apply the rest of the colour. And in all honesty I think these are the easiest lipsticks to apply that I have, and even applying the darker shades doesn't scare me!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you first apply, they do take a while to dry and you do get a bit of transfer so I would apply at least an hour before if you're planning on going out to eat/kissing, but once they do dry they last for at least 5 hours depending on what you're doing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dry skin is becoming the bane of my existence. I've never really suffered from dry skin before, but recently I can't seem to get rid of it, so I was excited to try out the Mythic Olive Ultimate blends collection from Garnier which was kindly sent to me by BzzAgent. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This Body lotion is amazing. It smells like vanilla, but is not too over the top so it wouldn't affect any perfumes you put on over the top. It absorbs quickly into the skin and after using for a while it has left my skin feeling a lot softer and more nourished.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To use you simply squeeze a plump or two into your hands and then massage it into any dry areas, and it instantly soothes and softens them. I have even taken to using this lotion daily on my hands, and I have noticed that they are feeling a lot softer than they were! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, due to the shape of the bottle I do fund that it can be hard to pump the product out, especially if I have already massaged some in. Though for £5.99 I think this is a great body lotion and you can buy it here:<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Skin/Body-Care/Body-Lotions/Ultimate-Blends-Mythic-Olive-Nourishing-Lotion-400ml/p/637000" target="_blank"> Mythic Olive lotion - £5.99</a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes moisturising can seem like a long and boring task and this is when I like to use a body oil, as the spray on application makes things 10 times quicker and the product usually sinks in quicker too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Again this oil has a soft vanilla scent to it and does leave my skin feeling soft, though it does also leave me feeling slightly greasy for a while but it's nothing too uncomfortable. However, it does have the same problem with the bottle design so I would recommend spraying it all over before rubbing it in.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This body oil costs £7.99 and I'm not sure if I would repurchase, but at Superdrug you can purchase these two items for buy one get one half half price, so if you want to try them now is a good time! You can buy it here: <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Skin/Body-Care/Body-Lotions/Ultimate-Blends-Body/p/637100" target="_blank">Mythic Olive oil - £7.99.</a></span></div>
