This took a lot of my time up, which if course I didn't mind at all, I loved it! And it resulted in the most perfect day ever... EVER!!!</div><div>Secondly, I started a new job this year, so a lot of my time has fine into focusing in that. </div><div>And thirdly... I have really tried to cut down on my beauty collection, it become a little out of control, and I found myself purely purchasing items to review because that was the lastest product on the market, and that was not healthy!! </div><div><br></div><div>So I'm planning on starting afresh, I'm not sure what direction my blog will take, but I have set myself a few ground rules and I intend to follow...</div><div>Number 1 - relax, I have always been very nervous about posting on my blog, I worried that if I don't post every few days my blog will become boring, but in actual fact, this results in crappy posts!</div><div>Number 2 - be a little more opening minded with posts, previously my posts have always been about beauty, but since our wedding, and recently buying a house, I feel like my blog will take a slightly different direction. </div><div>And number 3 - have fun with it!

I know I'm a little bit late with this product, its been a round for a while, but to be honest I actually thought it was going to be a bit of a gimmick and wouldn't be worth the hype - but apparently I was wrong. I watched a few beauty youtubers rave about this so I thought I would give it a go.<br />
<br />
I have heard this product labelled as the lazy-girls way of moisturising, I am actually pretty good and moisturising, I hate having dry skin so I do always find the time to treat my skin, however it is always a bore and takes forever - this is a clever little product that makes moisturising a little bit more exciting. <br />
<br />
Its super easy to use, okay so its not quite spray and go, there is a bit of rubbing involved, but still a lot quicker than squeezing out of tube tube getting it all over the place! What I really like about this product is it drys really quickly, you aren't left with a sticky tacky feeling that you can get with a lot of other moisturisers. <br />
<br />
I went for the aloe fresh option, it has a lovely fresh feeling and smells great, I'm really enjoying using this product and would repurchase it again, its not going to instantly transform your skin, but once its in a good state its a great way of quickly keep it up, I think this will come in very handy in the summer - Its currently on offer in Boots at the moment for £3,99.<br />

Since I have been coming to the end of my beloved Clinique Superbalanced foundation, I have been searching for something to replace it, I fancied a little change since I have been using Clinique since I was 16! I had read a lot of great reviews for the NARS Sheer Glow, but the name instantly put me off, Sheer is the last thing I look for in a foundation, I like to have a good matte coverage that is buildable - it was only after reading <a href="http://x-couturegirl-x.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/review-nars-sheer-glow-foundation.html" target="_blank">Kayleighs</a> from Couture Girl, that I decided to give it a go.<br />
<br />
Firstly lets get the obviously negatives out of the way. Price - £31, enough said.... and secondly, it doesn't come with a pump, I know this is an issue for a lot of people as thats an extra £3, but I seem to manage fine with a pump, my Clinique one didn't have a pump either, so I'm used to working with this problem.<br />
<br />
Now for the great bits - this foundation is fricking amazing!!!! I cant believe it has taken me so long to try it out, the packaging is great, sleek and simple. The product applies easily and is flawless on the skin. This finish isn't what I would call completely matte, but its so buildable it really have great coverage. It buffs into the skins so effortlessly and doesn't look cakey, this is a massive thumbs up from me, as I often end up looking cakey around the nose and forehead. <br />
<br />
It also works really well with powder on the top, it doesn't just sit on top, neither does it slip away, it somehow works with it and holds it in place for the whole day. I seem to use a fairly small amount, so it does go a long way, but I know this is going to be a product that I can't live without, which is slightly concerning because of the high price tag - maybe I shouldn't wear it every day to make it last longer!<br />
<br />
Overall its a big thumbs up from me, I'm really happy with this purchase and would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a good coverage, buildable matte-ish coverage foundation! <br />

NARS Laguna seems to be the most talked about bronzer out there at the moment, every bloggers seems to have this bronzer and its very clear to see why. The packaging is typically NARS its a sleek black design that's easy to use, you get a lot of product for your money, and because the product is so pigmented it lasts for ever!<br />
<br />
The colour of this bronzer may scare some people because it looks quite dark. However,
when it’s applied the colour is just perfect. Perfect pigmentation, easy
blendable, no orange in sight. It is not totally matte,
it has a little golden shimmer in it which is not seen when applied, so
you can totally use that for contouring too. I really like that this
product is so versatile.<br />
<br />
I apply my with my Real Techniques contour brush, taking it to the hollows of my cheeks, around my temples and under my jaw line, its also great just to swirl over your face for an overall golden glow.<br />
<br />
I actually cant remember the exact price, but believe its around the £25-27 mark, which of course is a lot of money for a bronzer, but as I said before this product lasts so its great value. I would absolutely repurchase this product, its definitely one of my favourites in my make up collection.

Aesop is a fantastic skin, hair and body brand, until recently I didn't know much about the brand or its products, but after visiting one of their ultra modern store in Angel, I have now built up quite a collection, and by far my favourite product is the Parsley Seed cleansing mask. <br />
<br />
It's a clay based mask but is different to all others that I've tried
in that it feels so lightweight on the skin and doesn't dry it out. I
like to use it on my t-zone to balance out any excess oil, or to keep
blackheads at bay on the sides of my nose. It does a great job at
unclogging pores to reveal a fresher complexion too and is really nice
to apply before bedtime due to the lavender aroma. It feels very gentle
and a little goes a long way, it's definitely a great product to have in
your cupboard for when your skin is feeling out of balance.<br />
<br />
The only thing that's difficult to swallow is the price, £27 for a face mask is a lot, but in my opinion its absolutely worth it - its a must have product in my skin care routine, its a treat to use twice a week to completely detox my skin.

Well I know I'm certainly not alone when I say I'm a huge fan of Real Technique brushes and the Pixiwoo sisters, they are so affordable and such great brushes, please check out their <a href="http://realtechniques.com/" target="_blank">website</a> for great tutorials and more information on the full Real Technique range.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure when the latest retractable brushes launched, but I have only just started to see them in my locals Boots stores. One of the only things about carrying your brushes around in your make-up bag is that they can get squashed in transit, so this little nifty brush is great for those squashing issues!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFsl7xOB-7RgikPSyAH_2_DvpftKGPyHOaIAeuNPzmfJmviYvvOhJKOTnFazxvMm-Z31oYuZZTIEjkJ2oyZAN9p-H3BAwF7Mt8YWesIhF5jpDRFlTymxs6Hmir53KDe580U6gidPaUNgg/s1600/rt2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFsl7xOB-7RgikPSyAH_2_DvpftKGPyHOaIAeuNPzmfJmviYvvOhJKOTnFazxvMm-Z31oYuZZTIEjkJ2oyZAN9p-H3BAwF7Mt8YWesIhF5jpDRFlTymxs6Hmir53KDe580U6gidPaUNgg/s1600/rt2.jpg" height="200" width="145" /></a></div>
This bronzing brush picks up just the right amount of product to sweep over the face, its a huge brush which is really useful for bronzer, but I have also been using this brush for applying a covering of face powder - its fire without being hard, but the bristles are very soft. Because it is retractable, you can load the brush up with product and fold it away, ready to use later on when you need a top-up.<br />
<br />
Im really excited to try the other brushes with the feature too, I know they will become and travel must. If your looking to add a brush to your collection, please pick this up, its a really handy little gadget and applys any powder base product with ease.<br />

I recently purchased the HD Browns palette in the Foxy shades and it has changed my life - maybe a little dramatic, but its certainly changed my brows. I have my eyebrows done every 5-6 weeks by an HD Brow technician, she is fantastic, she said I should start using the HD palette to make the most of my brows, and I love it.<br />
<br />
Before the HD palette I was using a mix of products, including the MUA eyebrow palette and the eyelure palette, I really enjoyed using both, but I always struggled with matching the colour, I would spent quite a while blending colours together. The Foxy HD palette is the perfect shade for my brows, no more mixing. <br />
<br />
Each palette contains 4 anti-smudge pressed powders which are matte and very easy to blend, the formula's are very pigmented and glide on your brows very easily. The powders aren't too powdery, meaning it doesn't fall all over your face.<br />
<br />
This is a great palette to pop in your bag and be confident you have all
you need to transform your eyes, made easy with a mini angled and flat
brush and a large mirror that comes in the palette. You can also use the colours as eye shadows, although I haven't tried them yet. <br />
<br />
I would really recommend this product for anyone looking for a great eyebrow palette, there are a lot of them out on the market, but in my opinion, why waste your time and money when this palette will do the job far better!<br />

I have a terrible habit of buying new lipsticks, getting them home and forgetting about them. I fall in love with them in the store, get home and lose interest - maybe a sign I should just stop buying them! However, it then does lead to a lovely surprise when I rediscover them floating around in my make-up draws, begging to be opened and used!<br />
<br />
Well this is exactly what happened with my MAC Politely Pink lipstick, I actually bought this a while back when I went to Paris, I did use it while I was away, but as soon I got back it when straight into the hidden depths of my make-up collection, and I have no idea why because I LOVE this lipstick. <br />
<br />
This colour is gorgeous, is like a dirty pink, very pretty. Its a lustre finish, which isn't my favourite finish on MAC lipsticks, but with a clear gloss over the top, the colour shines though and looks beautiful. its a great every day colour, very sophisticated and pretty.<br />
<br />
A welcomed addition to my collection - I'm pleased I found it. <br />

I'm sure there isn't one beauty lover who hasn't heard of the great Tanya Burr, so when it was announced that the beauty guru was bringing out her own rage, hysteria too place amongst beauty lovers - me being on of these who go way too over excited. As soon as the products were released on feel Unique, I made my order and waited patiently.<br />
<br />
I order two of these highly anticipated lip glosses in the shades Chic and Smile, Dream, Sparkle. Firstly, the packaging, The actual packaging of the lip glosses is really sleek and neat, I lip the black lip and that you can actually see the product. I'm not too sure about the paper packaging the lip gloss comes in, I like a cute little boxed product - but that's just a personal thing. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I would describe Chic is a nudey peachy colour, its more of an opaque colour that has a really good pigment and is really creamy, I love this colour, its not like any other colour in my collection which I am really pleased with - I wish I had ordered more of these creamy shades, I think I would love them all. <br />
Smile, Dream, Sparkle (Not sure about this name?!) Is a soft pink glitter that actually has hardly any colour, its more of a clear pinky gloss that you would wear over a lipstick that gives a lovely shimmer. <br />

I am a big lip gloss lover, but the one thing I cant stand is sticky lips, I didn't find these products too sticky, even after I had worn them for a while, they wear really well! They also smell incredible, a really gorgeous sweet smell which makes wearing them even more enjoyable. Obviously I only received these today, so I need to give them a text out, I'm interested to see how they react to every girls bug-bear, hair + wind = sticky hairy lips. <br />
<br />
Overall at this early stage its a huge thumbs up on the glosses, I love them and cant wait to try more. Tanya also released a collection of nail varnishes, but as I use Shellac I didn't order these, I would love to know what they are like though, the colours look stunning!<br />

Its no secret that the Giorgio Armani luminous silk foundation is a beauty bloggers favourite, so many bbloggers rave about how great this foundation is, the only downside to the Giorgio Armani foundation is the shocking high price tag - £35.50 (Gulp!)<br>
<br>
When I heard that there was a great dupe available in drug stores, I was all over it. L'Oreal True Match Foundation is meant to be a really similar product and I am really enjoying using it. Firstly the cost, this product is £9.99, L'Oreal actually had buy one get one half price, so my mum picked on up too.<br>
<br>
The texture of this foundation is quite runny, compared to my Clinique foundation which is a little thicker. It blends really well with my Real Technique expert face brush and has a lovely silky finish without being too shiny or dewy - its a matte finish.<br>
<br>
drug store foundations are normally very limited on colour range, but there seemed to be a lot of options for this product, I picked up N1 which is actually an almost perfect match for me. I really like the packaging for this product too, I really enjoy a pump on a foundation.<br>
<br>
The coverage is pretty good too, it doesn't look too cakey at all, and its very buildable, by adding a little bit of powder over the top really gives you that little bit of extra coverage.<br>
<br>
Although I haven't personally tried the Giorgio Armani, I have heard a lot of comparisons with these two products, I am really enjoying using this foundation and will continue to do so - I really do not feel the need to spend £35 on a product which is apprently very similar. <br>

Being a fan of the original Benefit Porefessional, I was excited to try the new release from the brand. There has been a lot of hype over this product, so I wanted to give it a good go before I gave my view.<br />
I have been using this product for just over a month, and I'm sad to say - its a miss from me!<br />
<br />
The overall idea for this product is to eliminate pores and shine, which is actually something I suffer with. I do really love the packaging, its a nifty little gadget. The lightweight tube has a detachable brush on one end, which I actually quite like, and a lid
on the other that reveals a 'talc' like dispenser. To use the product
you simply tap a small amount of powder into the lid, use the brush to
pick up the product and then pop onto your face.<br />
<br />
I suppose the reason I don't really like this product is the price - I have similar powders that cost around £5 that do exactly the same. Benefit is a higher end brand and this product cost around the £23 mark, which to me is super pricey. The only part of this product that I like is the packaging and the brush, not really a real reason to buy a product.<br />
<br />
Its a shame I didn't love this, because I am really enjoy Benefit products at the moment, but this for me is an expensive option to go for if your looking for a loose powder to minimise pores and shine.<br />
<br />
What did you think?<br />

Following on from my recent KIKO haul, another item I picked up was one of
their smart lipsticks in shade 919. When I visit KIKO I always pick up one of
their Ultra Glossy Stylo lipsticks because they are just amazing!! But I
thought I would give one of these types a try.<br />
<br />
Firstly let’s talk about price, this lipstick was £3.90... I know, an unbelievable
price. On the KIKO site, the lipsticks are described as a rich nourishing
lipstick with full colour and total comfort and I couldn’t agree more – the formula
of this product is dreamy, I love it. The pigment is fab too, I picked up shade
919 which is a light baby pink, not the most pigmented colour, but the payoff
is great – as good as MAC. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
Overall I cant fault this product, if you are looking for a lipstick, with a
creamy formula, nourishing on your lips and at an unbeatable price – here is
it!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I absolutely in love KIKO at the moment, their lipsticks and eyeshsdow
sticks to me can do no wrong! When recently at Westfield’s Stratford, I paid
the store a little visit and was completely blow away by the eyeshadaw sticks,
I had heard some great things and knew I wanted to give them a go myself, I
picked up shade 05 which is a brown, similar to Clinique’s Sassy Fras. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Firstly packaging, sleek and simple just how I like it - no major fuss, just
completely focused on the product, the black reminds me a little of ELF
packaging, which again I am a fan of. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The product - WOW! talk about cream - I absolutely am smitten with this formula,
it glides on so easily, you can blend and build really well with this product
too. It looks eat smudged number the lower lash line, as well as a block colour
on your lids. What I really love is the slight shimmer to the product, it’s not
a matte colour at all. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The price of this product is insane - £6.90.
This is an absolute steel, I would compare this product to Clinique’s Chubby
sticks and also Rimmels Scandaleyes
eyeshadow paint – both great products, but for me the KIKO shadow stick beats
them to the post</span></span></span><br />

Moisturiser is always something that I seem to struggle to find, I have combination skin and I find a lot of moisturisers way too heavy for my skin type leaving my skin feeling oily, with this in mind, I am always on the look out to find something that suits me perfectly. Since discovering Liz Earles moisturiser I have had difficulty finding anything that comes close, however the search continues.<br />
I have been using the L'Oreal Paris triple active day cream for around 7 days and so far I am really enjoying using it, I find it isn't too greasy on my skin if my skin is having a dry day, however if my skin is feeling a little oily, I only apply a small amount. I really love how this product makes me skin feel after, its very refreshing and I really like the scent, its a nice clean smell. The cream its self is a light texture and have a UV filter which is really great - espeically for those days when your out and about!<br />
<br />
The presentation of the cream is great - I like the box and I
really like the heavy-duty jar, with its inner lid too. The whole
aesthetic of this cream works for me, especially when it was so cheap. you can pick this cream up for around the £5 mark, affordable for most people, and seems to last a while - as I said, I have been using for just over a week and have about 4 - 5 weeks worth remaining.<br />
<br />
Overall I am liking this product, Im not sure if its going to completely win me over and slove all my skin care problems, but so far so good!<br />

I am always on the look out for a bright pink lipstick that is better than the last, I have a few firm favourites but am pleased to be adding this new little beauty to my collection.<br />
What I love about the shade is the red undertone, as well as its lustre finish which is by far my favourite!<br />
Its a build able shade which you can either wear as a sheer light option or a darker pink, for me this an everyday shade when worn sheer, but can be transformed into a dramatic evening shade with a few more layers - One of my favourite Mac lipsticks! <br />

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); text-align: justify;">Anything that comes in it's own dust bag is a hot with me, normally because it hints at bein super luxe! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); text-align: justify;">Initially I was a little scared of the bright pink. but it works perfectly on my pale skin tone, making it an everyday product for me - although I tend to only wear my luxe products on special occasions.</span></div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="text-align: justify;"></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="text-align: justify;">It’s actually quite a matte blush with a tiny hint of a satin finish that gives a bit of sheen, it's certainly not shimmery, but instead has a lovely dimension to it, <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I think this is helped by having 2 shades with different finishes in the pan.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: start;">
Also, the blush is very pigmented, yet still completely buildable - only a light hand is needed to get a wash of color on your cheeks, but you can easily go heavier if you feel you need/can take a bit more color.</div>
</span><span style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: start;">
I am seriously impressed with the staying power of this product, it is common for these type of blushes to fade quickly, I find my blush is the first thing to go when's make up slides, this however has great staying power.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
I will certainly be adding more of these gorgeous blushes to my collection, they are a great wearable blush that is super luxe, I suppose the only down side is the price, they aren't cheap! But as a special treat or gift, I would definitely go for this. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">I own most of the Real Technique collection, but for some reason this brush took a while to make it into my stash.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">The Expert Face brush is firm and broad for which is perfect for the application and blending foundations. All the brushes have Taklon bristles which are super soft and help create a flawless, HD finish. The fact that they're synthetic means that they're really easy to wash which is fan! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">The brushes are also cut to the perfect shape which makes application so much easier. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">I suppose the reason this brush is so popular is because it can literally be used for anything - highlighting, blusher, concealer, foundation... Endless! I think the Real Techniques brushes are amazing, such great value and easy to use. I'm so pleased I now have this little beauty in my collection, this is going to be a well used brush</span></div>

Adding to my newly formed KIKO collection is the soft touch blush in shade 104.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm a blusher <span style="color: #0000ee;">lover</span>, I have so many in a range of colours, and when trying a new brand, the blushers is either make it or break it for me, and KIKO have got it bang on! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This shade is a gorgeous plum/pink colour that's perfect for this time of year, I love the soft texture and how easily it blends into the skin, I also find this blusher really hangs around on your cheeks, blusher is the first to go if I am wearing my make up all day, but these seems to cling on for longer. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The blusher is £7,50 which isn't the cheapest blusher I have, but for the quality and staying power is actually really good value, you only need a small amount on your brush, it really is very pigmented and blends a long way.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Valentino Valentina gift set from Fragrance Direct includes a 50ml bottle of the signature Valentino Valentina eau de parfum spray for women, along with a 100ml bottle of the accompanying Valentina body lotion.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The first thing you will notice about this gift set is the gorgeous packaging, anyone unwrapping this on Christmas morning will know for sure that this is a luxurious and special gift, it comes in a dusky pink hat box style box with a pretty pink ribbon, once you open the box you are faced with two of the prettiest bottle ever, these are so stunning you would happily have these displayed on your dressing table.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The scent of the eau de parfum is floral and fresh 'opening with top notes of tuber and green apple, flowing into a heart of jasmine, strawberry, African orange flower and tuberose, finally rounded off with a base of cedar, amber and vanilla'. This is a sophisticated scent for sophisticated woman, its one of those scents you will smell on someone passing in the street and you have to ask them what it is! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">What is also great about this gift set is the body lotion, its not a product that has been thrown together just to make up a gift set, buts its a really moisturising cream that leaves you skin feeling gorgeous, as well and smelling fab! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am absolutely in love with this set, for the price I think its great value and a guaranteed winner - to order you set visit the website <a href="http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/valentino/valentino-valentina-gift-set-50ml/invt/0039654" target="_blank">here</a></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">There has been so much hype around this product it had to feature in my gift guide. The Jimmy Choo Flash gift set includes a 60ml bottle of the gorgeous eau de parfum spray and a 100ml of the matching body lotion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When buying for my sister, sister in law or best friends, I always like to get them something really on trend, something that has been talked about and that is going to make them feel 100% gorgeous, this gift set ticks all those boxes! The packaging is amazing, the bottle is designed to emulate paparazzi flashbulbs, and the box is equally as glitzy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jimmy Choo Flash is constructed as a fragrance which accentuates delicate white flower notes with a hint of spices and fruit. Top notes encompass passionate strawberry combined with tangerine and pink pepper adding exciting and cheerful note to white floral notes in the heart. The white bouquet is composed of tuberose, jasmine and white lily on a base of heliotrope and blond wood. You will love this if you love Marc Jacobs Daisy, it mimics these scents closely. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall this gift set makes an ideal gift, not quite as exciting as Jimmy Choo shoes or bag, but you know whoever you buy this for is going to be pleased.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The men in my family are notoriously difficult to buy for, but a fragrance that always scores me brownie points is the Marc Jacobs Bang Bang eau de toilet spray. This fragrance is 50ml of a fresh, woody scent, described as a ‘refreshing and dynamic’ version of the original Bang.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bang Bang by Marc Jacobs starts off with a fresh lemon scent laced in mild spice. After about thirty minutes the fragrance begins to lose its’ lemon scent and settle into a light, fresh wood scent which gently fades into the night.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are so many fragrances out there for men but this one not only smells great but also looks great, the packaging is very masculine, which means that the boys in my life aren't afraid to throw this into their gym/work bags. </span></div>

I have seen a lot of hype about Kiko products recently from beauty bloggers and I have been keen to get my hands on them and try it out.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While at Westfields recently I paid a visit to the store and picked up a few products that's I'm really pleased with. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The first product I wanted to share is the KIKO pencil lip gloss. I'm a big fan of a pencil lip colour, I find them really easy to use and reapply. I picked up the shade 03 which is a browny shimmery colour which is beautiful, the texture is really glossy which is so surprising from a crayon type product, I normally find these quite matte but this is the completely glossy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I find the colour pay off really long lasting and as not drying at all. I have a feeling this is going to be a go to lip product this autumn! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This pencil is priced at £3,90 which is an absolutely amazing price - please let me know if you have tried this product, I'm really keen to get my hands on more colours. </div>

I have always heard such lovely comments about the Natural Collection, and on a recent trip to Boots I noticed a special offer on the brand, you could pick up 3 products for £5! That was an offer I couldn't miss out on and decided it was the perfect opportunity to try out some of the Natural Collection range.<br />
<br />
My three products included one lipstick in Rose Bud, one blush in Pink Cloud, and one pot of Loose Powder in Cool Translucent. The Loose powder is a great little product thats really easy to use, it comes in a little pot which is easy to despense and set your make-up with, this is a step I do more and more now, I never had to set my make-up before, but I do notice that it doesnt last as long if I skip this step.<br />
<br />
The lipstick is a gorgeous dusky pink colour which wears really well, its surprisingly long lasting and moisturing, I really love the colour and is a perfect every day product. The Natural Collection blushers are well known for the gorgeous range of colours, but the actual prodcut is also fantastic, really easy to apply and blend, I notice a lot of beauty bloggers have these little beauties in their makeup bags and I can completely see why.<br />
<br />
Please let me know if you have tried any of these products from the collection and what you think to them.<br />

This little beauty has been added to my lipstick collection recently, and I love it! I was looking for a gorgeous coral colour after my disappointment with the Revlon Ultimate Suede in It Girl (I really didn't get it?!)<br />
<br />
So I was looking in the MAC store and the lady next to me actually picked up this colour when it caught my eye, I really like the suitable coral tone this colour has, but at the same time it is very bright, especially on my pale skin. This lipstick is from the Frost collection which I am a big fan of, I really like the sheen it leaves on your lips. This is definitely a summer shade, it looks beautiful with a slight tan and a little shimmer gloss over the top. <br />

I have been looking for a highlighter for a while now, I know lots of people recommend the Benefit highlighter, which I do enjoy using but I was looking for an alternative at a slightly cheaper price. I was recently in the Oxford Street Topshop browsing the beauty section when I came across this product, Its simply named Topshop Highlighter, and what struck me at first was this size - there is a huge amount of product in the compact!<br />
<br />
This highlighter is also really highly pigmented, much more than any other highlighter I have come across, you really only need the smallest amount on your brush, this isn't a product you can chuck on and your ready to go, you do need to work it into your skin to ensure the product has blended well and not sat on top of your skin, the powder blends really easier so this isn't difficult to do. <br />
<br />
The only down side to this product for me is the packaging, not so much the white plastic outer shell, its more the fact that there isn't a mirror in the lid, this is a small bug bear of mine, I like to have a mirror in front of me when I'm using a product.<br />
<br />
I paid £10 for this product, an amazing price for such a long lasting highlighter, its really easy to use once you have figured out where you need to place your highlighter, for me its the top of my cheeky bones, above my eyebrow and on my cupids bow, sometime I place a little down the centre of my nose.<br />
I have really enjoyed using this product, do let me know if you have tried it and what you thought. <br />

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It’s safe to say that Bioderma has really made an impact in the beauty world over the last year, I have been using the product for a while but never featured it on my blog. Bioderma Créaline H20 is known to be one of the most gentle makeup removers and cleansing solutions around. For a liquid that essentially mimics water, it certainly has a little magic in it, especially when it comes to water proof mascara. The solution is perfume free and hypoallergenic, it contains cucumber extract to soothe irritated skin, enables dirt to be emulsified and surface hydrolipidic film to be reconstituted - Makeup literally glides off with no effort at all, its super sensitive and a real pleasure to use.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It can be a challenge to get hold of this product in the UK, but there are plenty of online store you can pick this up from, the famous French skin care product is one of my MUST beauty products, until you try it it’s difficult to explain just how effective it is. The packaging is fairly simple and easy to dispense, I have seen a pump action top on a few blogs but have heard a few negative things, so for the time being I am happy with the original. I have heard rumours of dupes which act in the same way, but for me Bioderma will always have a special feel to it. </span></div>
