Nail Envy has helped my nails in a huge way; they aren't flaking or breaking as easily as they used to, and I can grow them all to a nice length without one snapping and letting the side down. And Ceramic Blue is a shade I discovered early last year and wore it as often as I possibly could. I love it, it has a brilliant formula and barely chips.<br /><br />But, onto the other stuff, I had to narrow it right down so these are just, absolute favourites. Like, if I didn't have these items I'd probably be much more inclined to stay in bed than I already am. Hard to top, I know.<br />I'll just do a real quick reason why I love each item so I don't ramble on too much.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Good Things Five Minute Facial Mask</b> - I use this at least once a week after giving my face a good scrub, and before using my Liquid Gold. This brightens my skin, reduces blemishes and makes my face look generally lovely. Highly recommend it, I've had it for about seven months and I think I'm only halfway through the tube.<br /><br /><b>Re-Gen Cream</b> - This is a sneaky gem from Home Bargain (not sure if that's just a North-West store, or what?) it's a cheaper Bio Oil but in cream form. I smother my skin in this stuff and it's brilliant. It's reduced those little bumps I get on the backs of my arms, improved the skin on my thighs and helped the look of any scarring or stretchmarks.<br /><br /><b>S&G Flake Away</b> - This is my go-to body scrub, I use it twice a week, it smells amazing and isn't too harsh on the skin. It leaves a slight oily film after you get out the shower, but I quite like that, means I don't spend as long moisturising.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Garnier S<span style="font-size: x-small;">u</span>mmerbody Gradual Tan</b> - I hate fake tan, the smell, the patchiness, just everything. I<span style="font-size: x-small;">'m also far too lazy <span style="font-size: x-small;">to keep it up, so this is ideal for me<span style="font-size: x-small;">; slap it on before <span style="font-size: x-small;">bed<span style="font-size: x-small;"> each night and wake up looking like you've just come back from holiday. Easy peasy.</span></span></span></span></span><br /><br /><b>Alpha-H Liquid Gold</b> - I had to get it after seeing nearly everyone raving about it, and I certainly did wince at the price (£30 back in March) but I'm glad I went for it. I only use it once, maybe twice a week before I go to bed, but it's helped my skin so much. It's brighter, all blemishes and any marks left by them disappear faster, I adore it. I only have about three applications left, but I'll be purchasing another very soon.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b> 17 Va Va Voom Mascara in Black</b> - I love this mascara, I refuse to buy anything high-end as this does exactly what I need; lengthens, plenty of volume, rarely clumps and it's waterproof which is perfect for me and my contact lenses.<br /><br /><b>Frat Boy Blush</b> - I recieved this in a Glossybox/Carminebox/whateverbox last Spring and I shoved it in a drawer never to be seen again as I never used blush because I always thought I looked daft in it. I have only really been wearing this for the last five months or so, but now I've perfected the application it's something I reach for everyday. It is quite pigmented so you only need a slight amount on the brush and just blend it in well.<br /><br /><b>17 Mirror Shine Lipstick in Beehive</b> - This is looking slightly worse for wear due to it nearly being finished, and the fact I was daft enough to take it with me on a girl's holiday to Turkey in '11. It probably melted as soon as I stepped off the plane. But this is still my everyday lipstick, it's just the right amount of colour.<br /><br /><b>Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer</b> - Don't need to say much about this, I love it, everyone and their cat loves it. Let's face it, it's a HG concealer. The End<br /><br /><b>Elf Powder Brush</b> - I use this brush to apply foundation and it does so flawlessly. I adore this brush, it can do no wrong in my eyes.<br /><br /><b>Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Liner</b> - Best eyeliner pencil I have tried, there was no way I was forking out for a Mac or Nars pencil, so Rimmel releasing this was a godsend<span style="font-size: x-small;">.</span></span> <br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>V05 Dry Shampoo</b> - A good alternative to Batiste, not as chalky in your hair, doesn't leave white marks and smells nice. I got it in Superdrug a few weeks ago on offer for £1.89<br /><br /><b>Tresemme Split Remedy Masque</b> - I use this once a week on the ends of my hair in the shower. I apply it and leave it on under a shower cap and rinse it off just before I get out. Makes my hair look and feel less damaged than it really is.<br /><br /><b>Samy Fat Hair Thickening Spray</b> - I have fine hair, which is annoying but I can deal with it since finding this. It thickens my hair without making it crispy or greasy looking, and it actually makes curling it much easier and I find the style lasts a little longer than it would without this in my hair.<br /><br /><b>Tresemme Hairspray</b> - Little fact of the day, I do not like Ellnet hairspray. The smell makes me gag and it doesn't do much for my hair. And the fact Cheryl Cole is the face of it is just another reason not to buy it. But Tresemme hairspray is the best for my hair, it holds for as long as I want it to, and I found the huge can in Home Bargain (again) for just £1.99, in comparison to Boots selling it for about a fiver. I always have a small can of it in my bag for any flyaways or frizz that rears its ugly head during the day.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Vivienne Westwood's Naughty Alice</b> - Before I got this my favourite perfume was Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb, which is still is, but that's now my Spring/Summer perfume. But since getting this last Chr<span style="font-size: x-small;">istmas </span>this is my Autumn/Winter perfume, I just love it, I'm not going to describe it as I'll only butcher it, but it's gorgeous and a few sprays lasts hours.<br /><br /><b>Supernatural dvds</b> - I have every season, it's one of my favourite shows, but my mum snagged me season seven for Christmas, which I was so delighted at. You just have to watch it, it's brilliant.<br /><br /><b>James Frey & Suzanne Collins</b> - My two favourite authors of 2012, thier books are amazing, and I have chosen to re-read several of them in favour of reading from my pile of un-read books. Check them out, just do it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This has been one of my favourite nail combos for about a month now, I've found myself removing the chipped version, only to reapply it. I just love the dark gunmetal grey/deep greyish blue background, with the vibrant eye-catching glitter packed on top.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The Rimmel varnish applies like a dream; with a top coat like this I was able to get away with just one coat, but it was opaque enought to also wear alone, drying within minutes.<br />Ibiza Mix, unfortunately is a little troublesome in application. For me anyway.<br />Only because I feel there is much more clear varnish in the bottle than is necessary, if that makes sense? <br />So I often find myself having to layer it on quite thickly to get a good amount of glitter, meaning it takes much longer to dry than I would like. <br />But what I tend to do is apply this before bed, so when I wake up it's completely dried.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Figured I might as well do a little update on the ol' Project 10 Pan, or my current empties as everyone's calling it nowadays.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I used the above products up throughout September & October, did pretty well I think!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Neutrogena-Visibly-Clear-2-in-1-Wash-and-Mask-150ml_11640/" target="_blank"><b>Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in-1 wash/mask</b></a> - I mentioned this in my A/W Essentials post and I love it, brilliant for oily skin. There are two backups waiting in my drawer already, so yes I would repurchase.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Beverly Hills Whitening Toothpaste - Bought this in Home
Bargain for 99p to use in conjunction with the whitening strips I've
been using. Does a brilliant job for the price, I've again repurchased
already, would really recommend!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Pearl-Drops-Hollywood-Smile-Whitening-Toothpaste-50-ml_17487/" target="_blank"><b>Pearl Drops Hollywood Smile toothpaste</b></a> - again a whitening toothpaste, bought it on offer to see if it was any good, it was okay. It did whiten but not as much as I thought it would have. I would repurchase but not right now<br /><br />Bioderma Sebium - A staple in my make up removal process, just makes everything so much easier & means I'm spending less time faffing about when I could be in bed! I buy these in bulk on Ebay, two 250ml bottles for £12 is a steal in my eyes! I'll continue to purchase this for a very long time.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Elvive-Triple-Resist-Reinforcing-Treatment-leave-in-200ml_1247354/" target="_blank"><b>L'Oréal Elvive Triple Resist Leave-In Treatment</b></a> - despite the mouthful of a name, this is quite a good product. You spray it on your roots and work it down your hair after washing, then blow dry, It makes my hair feel stronger and nourished. I would repurchase again.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Vo5-Miracle-Concentrate-Elixir-with-Argan-Oil-50ml_1228559/" target="_blank"><b>V05 Miracle Concentrate</b></a> - When I first bought this I thought it was a HG item, but then I recieved other similar products, which did the same if not better. So I'd only repurchase once I ran out of my other hair oils and serums, which won't be for a long, long time!<br /><br />L'Oréal Super Liner Carbon Gloss - Again, another staple in my make up routine. It's my go-to liner, I adore it. My only qualm with it is that if it gets wet at all it just rubs off. I am a contact lense wearer so I have to make sure I put my lenses in before I do my make up. Which isn't that hard, so I would obviously repurchase again, & again<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Sunshimmer-by-Rimmel-Tan-Make-up-Medium-Matte_8876/" target="_blank"><b>Rimmel Instant Tan in Medium</b></a> - Another steal from Home Bargain - girls, if you use this stuff, get it from there not Boots, saves you a few quid! I love this product, but I much prefer the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Sunshimmer-Instant-Tan-Water-Resistant-Medium-Matte-125ml_1251088/" target="_blank"><b>waterproof</b></a> version, just because if you spill a drink or it rains after applying this you look awful, streaky legs galore! So I would buy it again, just in waterproof.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Clearasil-Ultra-Rapid-Action-Seal-to-Clear-Gel-12ml_1213658/" target="_blank"><b>Clearasil Overnight Treatment</b></a> - Not much to say on this, it worked on spots and redness really well, but not different to any other spot gels or treatments. I personally prefer the <a href="http://www.origins.co.uk/product/6342/18374/Skincare/Concern/Blemish-Oil-Control/Super-Spot-Remover/Blemish-treatment-gel/index.tmpl" target="_blank"><b>Origins Super Spot Remover</b></a>, so I wouldn't be in any rush to repurchase this.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-2000-Lasting-Perfection-Concealer_984434/" target="_blank"><b>Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer</b></a> - My HG concealer, I will never use another concealer, I am yet to find anything better, especially for the price!

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm definitely no expert on skin/haircare, but I thought I'd stick my two cents in on the matter anyway since Autmn has definitely arrived! There was such a nip in the air when I went out this morning, but i<span style="font-size: x-small;">t gives me an excuse to don my mittens</span> & super cosy tights. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">- I much prefer the lotion to the other formula in the tub; I hate having to scrape it out, getting under my nails, warm it in my hands. I feel this applies & sinks into my skin much better than any other moisturiser I've tried so far. Basically it's a brilliant thick moisturiser, perfect!<br /><br />- A lovely friend gave me a sample of the Liz Earl cleanser to try, & I just did not get on wit it; whether my skin reacted badly to the ingredients or the scent, or whatever, but my skin just got worse. I persevered for three months with it, but sadly it did nothing. When I went back to this my skin cleared up right away, so I am sticking to this. Plus it's a bargain when you use those No7 vouchers, although I heard they're now for a lesser value, sucks if that's true.<br /><br />- I've used the Neutrogena 2-in-1 on & off for some years now, but when I saw Sammi at Beauty Crush rave about how amazing it is & the wonders it's done for her skin by using it regularly, I decided to give it a proper go. Using it each morning & night, swapping it for Soap & Glory's Scrub Your Nose In It every Wednesday night for a more intense cleanse.<br />I can safely say this has become a HG item for my skin. I'm combination-oily (but more on the oily side) & this has helped get rid of & keep spots at bay, as well as mattifying my skin; it genuinely looks the best it has in over a year!<br /><br />- I've used St Ives for about eight years now, my mum's always used it and she has fantastic skin. I always compare other facial scrubs to this and so far they haven't come close as far as I'm concerned.<br /><br />- Not much to say about Hand Food; it really is a great hand cream, but it was honestly the first one I found. Any decent hand cream will do the trick, as long as it doesn't take too long to sink in; greasy hands are the worst.<br /><br />- I got this full-sized sample of Monu in a Glossybox a while back and I adore it. It's a thick cream that sinks in so quickly, making my night-time skin routine an absolute doddle. I wake up and my skin looks plump, and healthy. I was hesistant to buy it again once it runs out, but Feeluniq<span style="font-size: x-small;">u</span>e have it for just £16 so I may have to pick one up when this runs out, I've had this tube for about six months & it's still going strong despite me using it every night.<br /><br />- The Tresemme masque & Inecto coconut treatment are absolute saviours for my hair any time of the year, but especially in the A/W. I have fine hair that tends to frizz in humid/changing temperatures so I need something that will help keep it as calm as possible. <br />I use both once a week to keep my hair looking remotely sleek & make it look quite healthy. Both are relatively cheap too & will last for a while depending on how often they're used.</span></span></span><br />

Basically life got in the way, and I just didn't find the time to blog over the last month or so. But I have several posts lined up over the next couple of weeks, and a few ideas that I'll build on, see what happens. I've written up a vague "schedule" of when and what I can realistically post. It probably sounds quite lame having done that, but I am such a procrastinator, so f I don't have something like that I just won't end up doing it, and that's no fun is it?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So starting off lightly with a quick NOTW (admittedly from three weeks ago, oops) but this has fast become one of my favourite shades for A/W.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> <a href="http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b214/redcameldeath/?action=view&current=DSCF1710.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b214/redcameldeath/DSCF1710.jpg" /></a></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b214/redcameldeath/?action=view&current=DSCF1707.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b214/redcameldeath/DSCF1707.jpg" /></a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It's a thick, creamy off white/cement/super pale green shade, opaque in two coats and dried really quickly. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It lasted on me about four days without chipping at all, and that's with using the OPI Rapidry topcoat - my new found favourite.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I would apologise for the state my fingers are in in that last photo, but my basket of fucks is empty I'm afraid. I prefer to let it come off itself, which it usually does by the end of the first day.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'll be back Wednesday with a little updated photo post and some details about what I've been up to, if it's of any interest that is. I've been making cakes and watching lots of Breaking Bad! Oh my god, I love Breaking Bad. and food. Nothing much has changed really.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">finally printed off photos from my holiday in Turkey last year! | Cocktails & nachos outfit downloaded every WWE PPV in '01 & spent this weekend watching them | my mum got mini bottles of ice tea from somewhere | day trip to Ikea! my outfit | Hope playing in children's </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Had quite a lazy week, but somehow I've got a lot done. Spent about five hours in Ikea playing House & hunting down the mirror I've been after; we also might've gotten hot dogs & milkshake after tea for the car ride home... <br />I've also got a couple of job interviews and some other interesting things in the pipeline for this upcoming week. I'm also going to find a good spot to take some proper outfit photos so I can get back into the swing of doing them :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Now I must admit I've been naughty with this post, I actually painted these nails over a month ago, even posted a photo on my Twitter I was that proud of them, but never reminded myself to pop them up on here so you can all ooh and ahh over them! (The <a href="https://twitter.com/modelsown" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank"><b>Models Own Twitter</b></a> even RT'd my photo, chuffed!)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This is the first time I had tried the old "ombre effect" on my nails (I am also well aware I'm far behind with this trend) but I still think it's too pretty not to share.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I tried my best to capture the true colours but it was really hard and awkward to get it right, but hopefully you get the jist.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">For this "ombre effect" I used <b><a href="http://www.essie.com/" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank">Essie's</a></b> Tarte Deco as the base colour, allowed it to dry, then sponged on <a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank"><b>Models Own's</b></a> Hedonist on the tips, blending it out to the middle of each nail. I then added <a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank"><b>Models Own</b></a> Indian Ocean & Ibiza Mix to add a little more dimension to them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Overall I'm very chuffed with how they turned out, my favourite nails to do so far. I think I can make them look better on false nails, so I may try that next; would save a lot of time painting them each time I wanna wear them!<br />I'm going to be experimenting with different colour tones & shades, I really wanna do a purple ombre so that'll probably be up next.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.superdrug.com/search?q=samy+0+calories" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>Samy 0 Calories Fat Hair Root Lifter</b></a> - this is a godsend for my thin and generally crap hair. I used to have to wash my hair every other day, and it would drive me mad! I'm so lazy so something as tedious as that would wind me right up. But I gave this a shot a few months ago and haven't looked back since. <br />It allows me to have the thicker, more voluminous hair I've been wishing of for years! And to only wash my hair once or twice a week is amazing, I love it. Doesn't make my hair look greasy, even after four days it still looks as good as when I first washed it (may sound gross but I am made up!) If you have an oily scalp or thin and lacklustre hair I urge you to try this out. Plus it's on a 2 for 1 offer at Superdrug right now, so you might as well!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Maybelline Express Manicure Top Coat - This is brilliant and my current favourite topcoat. It dries really fast and helps my nail colour last longer than others I've tried. This bottle isn't finished, but it's gotten to that awkward nearly empty gloopy phase, so I've already bought a new'un.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/TRESemme-Heat-Defence-Styling-Spray-300ml_14150/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>Tresemme Heat Defence spray</b></a> - not much to say, it does what it's meant to, you get a lot of product for your money and it smells really nice. Have used this for about five years and will continue to do so.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Stay-Matte-Pressed-Powder_1015573/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent Pressed Powder</b></a> - I dropped this and it smashed, waah :( Great powder to dust over your finished face, it keeps you looking fresh but not greasy for hours.<br />I need to buy another as the one I'm using as a replacement isn't as good; makes me feel abit cake-faced... again, waah.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Toni&Guy Firm Hold Hairspray - Got this from Home Bargains for my holiday and it's a decent hairspray, nothing too special but I chose it mainly for its dinky size to chuck in my bag. Do prefer the small Tresemme Lasting Hold hairspray though.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/White-Glo-Extra-Strength-Whitening-Toothpaste-Professional-Choice_1104649/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>White Glo Whitening Toothpaste</b></a> - Got this in a Glossybox a few months ago, only a sample size so I didnt notice much of a difference, but I'm tempted to buy the full size from Boots and give it a proper trial. I'm using the Beverly Hills whitening toothpaste right now, which I personally think works better.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Vitamin E Night Cream - Love this night cream, it's really rich but doesn't make my skin too oily, instead it feels soft and nourished. The Superdrug Vitamin E skincare line is really good, the quality is great considering how cheap it is. Will probably buy another tub once I run out of my Re-Gen cream.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

Doubt I'll get it again as I'm so in love with the Samy range!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Yes, it's been a long, loong time since I graced you with my presence on here. <br />In all honesty I've gone through some personal issues this past month and just haven't felt inspired to blog or share any part of my life with you lovely lot. I hope you appreciate that I'd rather blog about something I'm interested in rather than seeing it as a chore and only blogging because I feel I have to.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I feel much better now I've had a little break, and I should be able to keeep up blogging at least twice a week; I'm going to keep putting up my Monthly Favourites & Empties posts as they seem to be the most favoured lately, but will be including more nail of the week posts, and I've moved my room around (by myself might I add - call the doctors cos these swans are sick! *flexes*) so there's more space for activities/outfit posts too, I've actually missed doing those!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">These are the three main colours I've been reaching for this month, a nice mix of pastel and more neon shades. Mermaid's Tears is a lovely sea green, it's my perfect green and is so easy to apply and dries fast.<br />I am yet to brave wearing Models Own Hedonist on my nails, but I may use it as an accent nail when I next use Fuzzy Peach, might be a nice combo. Ceramic Blue is a gorgeous pale blue with shots of metallic blue/purple shot through it, It's opaque in two coats and with a top coat lasts on my for about six days with minimal tip wear. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I was using the Bourjoid 123 Perfect foundation, but since the weather's perked up a little (I type this looking out my window at a dreary sky threatening to rain, ha!) I went back to this as the formula's much lighter, and it smells soo good! The colours a limited but this is the lightest shade and it's fine on me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">St Ives scrub has been an essential in my routine for at least seven years now, it's my favourite scrub ever. I use this three times a week to give my face a really good clean; I love using it after a 10hr shift in work, really makes my skin feel amazing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This is my go-to moisturiser, not much to say but it is brilliant for oily/combination skin, I am yet to find a better one, and at such a good price.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I got this in Home Bargain for 99p! a month ago, as I'm still on the quest for whiter teeth. This really does work, I use it twice a day and it has definitely improved the colour.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">This is my favourite product from the Birthday Glossybox, it really is brilliant at conditioning my hair, stopping frizz and reducing drying time when I blowdry my hair. I got this coconut treatment again in trust Home Bargain (seriously, look there for hair products before Boots/Superdrug, they're ridiculously cheap!) and have been using it on the ends of my hair twice a week, leaving it on for ten minutes. It makes my hair softer, smoother and easier to style. The serum doesn't need much said, it does its job brlliantly, tames my flyaways and gives my hair extra shine.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I really dislike using fake tans, so this is perfect for me. I apply it after every shower and it gives me a really deep but natural looking tan. A friend commented on it last week, thinking I had been abroad, back of the net! It doesn't go streaky, the smell is pleasant, and it doesn't wash off if you get your skin wet. It's currently oart of the 3 for 2 at Boots too so I'd suggest you give it a go!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This has been my favourite perfume since I bought it on the plane to Turkey last June; it's strong but not overpowering, gorgesouly and fruity/floral. Whenever I smell it, I'm instantly taken back to my holiday last year, which makes me really happy. I'm pretty bad at descrbing perfumes, but give it a whiff you won't be disappointed!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I adore this combination, and I love the formula of the Maybelline varnish; it's opaque in two coats, dried relatively fast and really does last for days without chipping. I've had this on for four days now, with a top coat and I only have a tiny bit of tip wear. I would really recommend having a look at this range if you haven't already, thye have some really lovely pastel shades in, and it's 3 for 2 in Boots at the moment!<br />The Ibiza Mix is a little harder to apply, purely because there's much more clear varnish than there is glitter if that makes sense? So it takes a little while to build it up. but if you have a bit of time spare it is worth it. I think next week I'll be tyring out hedonist underneath Ibiza Mix, it might tone the neon shade down a smidge?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I know I'm very late on this one, but I completely forgot to post this earlier, it's been sat in my drafts for weeks, sorry guys!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">John Frieda/Superdrug hair conditioners - I have about four of these sat in my drawers from the times I've dyed my hair at home. I do like these conditioners, they do their job very well, I just like others much better. I will use up at least two tubes though, I've nearly finished the white one so I should do it.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://eyeslipsface.co.uk/product%7EprodID%7E398.htm" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>ELF Cream Eyeliner</b></a> - Again, I really like this product, but I find liquid liners easier to use, simply because if I make a mistake with liquid, it's easy enough to amend, but it's much harder to remove and reapply this on my lid, and I don't like being too heavy-handed on my eyes. I think I'll use it up on days/nights when I can take my time applying my makeup.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Next Pink perfume - I got this in a set at Christmas and I love the smell, it's floral and fresh without being too heavy on the ol' nostrils. Again I put in the a drawer in favour of Flowerbomb and Naughty Alice, how naughty of me! It's a great Summer scent though, and I'll probably take it to Cornwall with me.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/_en/_gb/catalog/product.aspx?ParentCatCode=C_BathBody&CatCode=C_BathBody_BodyButterBodyLotion&prdcode=11932m" target="_blank"><b style="color: #999999;">TBS Grapefruit Body Butter</b></a> - I've had this a while and I do like it, it's very moisturising and sinks in relatively quickly, but the smell lingers longer than I'd like. I'll be using this before bed to nourish my legs.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory-Flake-Away-%C2%99-Body-Scrub-300ml_27894/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>S&G Flake Away</b></a> - I love this scrub, but I currently have this tub which is half full, and another huge tub untouched! So I'm using it every other shower to get my body (mainly legs) beach-ready. But this scrub is bloody brilliant!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/108/Cynthia-Sylvia-Stout-Shampoo-100g" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout</b></a> - This is a great clarifying shampoo that contains stout beer, so your hair is much more shiny and it adds weight and volume to finer hair.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Clear-Complexion-Powder-Transpare_1016819/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>Rimmel Clear Complexion powder in transparent</b></a> - Nothing much to say about this, it's just what i use to set my makeup, but I realised I have two half-used, so I need to use up one because it's driving me bananas! But it does the job, think it was either £4-5 so it doesn't break the bank either.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Due to deadlines and other ridiculous things that have gone on in my life over the last couple of week, I completely forgot to do an April Empties, and I've used up a couple of these over the last fortnight, so figured I might aswell just combine them into one post, much easier(lazier)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/TRESemme-Extra-Hold-Hair-Spray-500ml_14766/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>Tresemme Salon Finish Extra Hold hairspray</b></a> - I bought this on a 2 for 1 thingy a few months back as I always like to keep hairspray in my bag for any sneaky little flyaways that may happen when I'm mincing about outside the house. This is probably my favourite hairspray, it was long lasting without making my hair feel crispy and wasn't sticky. I'm currently using a mini Toni & Guy hairspray from Home Bargains which is pretty good but I'll be keeping my eye out for this on an offer, snap it up again in no time!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory-A-Butter-Suite%C2%99-Moisturising-Gift-Set-3-x-150ml_1043897/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>S&G The Daily Smooth body butter</b></a> - I bought this in a pack of three body butters last year, this one is my least favourite of the three. Butter Up was my favourite, it smels like orange and blueberries and was amazing at moisturising my skin and it kept it feeling smooth, so that got used up quicksmart! I still have half a tub of The Righteous Butter to use, which I do really like. I'm not keen on the smell of this, a little too perfumey for my taste, and it left my skin feeling slightly greasy.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Lee-Stafford-Hair-Growth-Treatment-200ml_854442/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment</b></a> - I love this stuff and love how strong and healthy it makes my hair feel, but I don't use it as often as I should, purely because I hate waiting around for it to do it's thang for five minutes. But now that I've finished uni (yay!) I can justify slapping this on post-shampoo, and whacking a warm towel on top and leaving it on for about ten minutes. I also have the shampoo and conditioner from the Hair Growth line, so will be using all three in conjunction to see if it'll kick my hair into growing a bit more!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-2000-Lasting-Perfection-Concealer_984434/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer in Fair</b></a> - Not much to add about this concealer as every blogger seems to adore it. It's bloody brilliant stuff and if you haven't already tried it, get to Boots pronto! My only gripe is that the writing comes off the tube so quickly; I've had my new tube only a week and it's all come off. It's the only negative about it so can't really complain too much though.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Aussie-3-Minute-Miracle-Frizz-Remedy_17591/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>Aussie Luciously Light 3MM Frizz Remedy</b></a><span style="color: #999999;"> </span>- What a mouthful of a name. What can I say, I love Aussie with all my heart, I've been using their products (namely conditioners) for years and will continue to do so. Their 3MM are amazing, this one especially is brilliant for frizzy or static-prone hair. I tend to leave it on for about ten minutes, and it smells yummy!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Bourjois-10-Hour-Sleep-Effect-Foundation_39304/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>Bourjois 10Hr Sleep Effect foundation</b></a> - Despite this having the same label trouble as the Collection 2000 concealer, it's a brilliant foundation, one I used all last Summer when my skin was lovely and clear, and when I get it back into shape I will be repurchasing this beaut.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Lasting-Finish-25hr-Foundation_1150829/" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank"><b>Rimmel 25Hr Lasting Finish foundation</b></a> - This was my Winter foundation a few months ago, and I love the finish it gave when using the infamous ELF Powder brush, very flawless. I do feel it oxidised slightly when on my skin, but I was very pale over Winter so I'm not focusing on that point too much. Excellent if you want a medium to heavy coverage as it's very buildable.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/17-Fast-Finish-Nail-Polish_927316/" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" target="_blank"><b>17 Fast Finish nail varnish in Catwalk Couture</b></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> - Love this formula, one coat dried in 60 seconds, though I tend to use two coats just for utimate opacity. The colour is gorgeous, very bright turquoise, perfect for Summer. Will have to repurchase asap!</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I also couldn't resist sneaking in a quick photo from today; I caved and now am amongst the many other bloggers who own the Zara messenger bag. I have it in dove grey, it's gorgeous!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I had a bit of a bad night last night, I came out of the station to walk to work when some horrible "men" took my hat and wouldn't give me it back unless I gave them money, and started shouting horrible, obscene things at me. So I pretty much legged it to work, but they followed me, continuing their vulgar shouting, including calling me a slut and shouting that I should go kill myself.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Got to work in tears and couldn't stop shaking, but the guys I work with are so nice and understanding they told me to go home as I wasn't fit to stay. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">My mum picked me up, we got some comfort food (in the shape of a Dominos) and I sat up in my room for the remainder fo the night, watching Jersey Shore in an attempt to take my mind off it. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Now bear in mind I had done nothing to provoke these horrible excuses for men, they probably thought it would be funny to ruin a stranger's night and may not even remember their actions today (the football was on in pubs so there's a good chance they'd been drinking) but I doubt they'll realise they absolutely terrified and upset me to the point that I was unfit to work.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm not writing this so I get a pity party or anything, I just don't understand what goes through someone's head that makes them think it's a good idea to harrass someone like that.<br />I seriously believe in karma and they'll get what's coming to them.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">But on a slightly lighter note, I start the gym tomorrow and I'm seriously excited. I'm not looking to lose weight or anything, it's hard enough for me to gain it! I simply want to get fit and healthy again, tone up my tummy and legs and get my flexibility back. The gym I've joined has loads of classes everyday, so I'm planning on going to spin classes, kick boxing and maybe the odd Zumba class.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Just a couple of little bits I picked up whilst exchanging some jeggings in Primark - has anyone else noticed that their jeggings sizes are really odd as of late? I picked up a size 8 in black and a size 6 in blue, the size 6 were bigger than the 8! It might just be my Primark with a dodgy batch, but it really annoyed me. Thankfully managed to swap both pairs for a size 10, so my legs are no longer being strangled.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I ran out of my current foundation (<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Lasting-Finish-25hr-Foundation_1150829/" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank"><b>Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hr</b></a>) and saw this as the perfect opportunity to try out the new <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Bourjois-123-Perfect-Foundation_1253861/" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank"><b>Bourjois</b></a> one. Boots currently have it on offer for just £6.99 so it's a steal. I have only tried it out this morning, but I really like it. It covers all red marks, the coverage is about medium but buildable, smells lovely and the colour is perfect for me, which with only five or six shades to choose from, is something I was a little weary about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />I have actually finished my first bottle of Catwalk Couture as I've worn it non-stop the last few months; as it's Fast Finish it is really quick drying, only needing one coat for it to be opaque.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I got Pink Lemonade purely because I thuoght I would be a cute pastel shade for the Summer.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I picked up a floral/Hawaiian top for just £6 as I needed another top to wear in work, this is perfect.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I saw these dresses on <a href="http://emily--charlotte.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/sunday-slob_22.html" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank"><b>Emily's</b></a> blog, and knew I had to get at least one. so I got two... to be honest I would have gotten three if my local Primark had had the blue one in stock, maybe next time, at £6 a pop I can afford to look slightly mental buying the same dress three times :P <br />They do come up a little short though, so I may go back and swap them for a size 10 if it is longer at all. Don't really fancy unkowingly flashing people in the Summer.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I spotted the spotty number (I'm so hilarious) as soon as I minced into the shop, it's my ideal Summer dress - spotty, no sleeves, mid-thigh length and the material's very light and stretchy - all for a tenner, I could not and did not want to put it back down. Jack also really likes it which is always a Brucey bonus!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm currently sat in my comfy pants, with a cuppa, attempting to stream a half-decent copy of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392170/" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank"><b>The Hunger Games</b></a> before I have my tea. I did go and see it the other week with Hope, it was bloody brilliant and certain scenes were exactly like I imagined when reading the book. Cannot wait for the second one to be released next year.</span></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02424155692369003423noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168313730003288096.post-31258236781361196152012-04-23T14:50:00.000+01:002012-04-23T14:50:00.646+01:00#133<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">After seeing every blogger and their dog rave about this face cleanser for the last few months, I did sort of think maybe it was just getting hyped up as Bioderma's so hard to find at a good price in the UK.<br />But my friend Fran informed me that she found it on <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=bioderma+crealine&_sacat=0&_odkw=bioderma&_osacat=0&_from=R40" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank"><b>Ebay</b></a> for a really good price, so I went and hunted some down.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I was going to buy the original white and pink bottle, but I saw that <a href="http://beauty-crush.blogspot.co.uk/" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank"><b>Sammi</b></a> from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/beautycrush/videos" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #666666;">Beauty Crush</span> </b></a>featured the Bioderma for combination/oily skin, called Bioderma Sebium H2O. I tracked down a seller that had it for the cheapest price, but she wanted £5 for shipping, from Berkshire :| No way Jose!<br />I finally found a girl who was selling two of the 250ml bottles for £11, free shipping. Never have I clicked "Buy Now" so fast in my life!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalFd-bSm86iJ8xkpVeoGHGpEkhXJkuKUOgclSSX0DYPIUiQcEfbep3tDEBxZ1FDqJxl7Mw1Lq4fAHwdLgzPi1bOLnGTe0NDk7x8v0BxFlCQKn-MOo8AAxFOpye065ixZzaMzxB7-uvZfq/s1600/DSCF089150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">They arrived within three days of purchase, safely packaged and both bottles were sealed up, as you'd expect from any good seller. I can't for the life of me find the girl's Ebay shop, it has somehow disappeared from my History, but if I do find it I will pop a link in somewhere round here!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I was sort of expecting this cleanser to be alright, nothing special, but I think I was wrong. Now I've only been using it for maybe five days now, but I use it after I wash my face both morning and night, and I can already see a huge difference in my skin.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">My pores are so much smaller and less noticeable, my chin has been quite bad lately and I've had a horrible breakout, but the Bioderma seems to have shrunk and dried them out, but not left my skin feeling horrible and tight.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalFd-bSm86iJ8xkpVeoGHGpEkhXJkuKUOgclSSX0DYPIUiQcEfbep3tDEBxZ1FDqJxl7Mw1Lq4fAHwdLgzPi1bOLnGTe0NDk7x8v0BxFlCQKn-MOo8AAxFOpye065ixZzaMzxB7-uvZfq/s1600/DSCF089150.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalFd-bSm86iJ8xkpVeoGHGpEkhXJkuKUOgclSSX0DYPIUiQcEfbep3tDEBxZ1FDqJxl7Mw1Lq4fAHwdLgzPi1bOLnGTe0NDk7x8v0BxFlCQKn-MOo8AAxFOpye065ixZzaMzxB7-uvZfq/s640/DSCF089150.jpg" width="480" /></a></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> It will take my a good while to get through both bottles, but I hope to see it help clear my skin completely in the long run - may seem a tad optimistic, but I'll hope for the best!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">If you are looking to purchase this but haven't got any way of buying it from France (whether it be you're going there on holiday or you know someone that lives there) just search on Ebay, but click the drop down bar by the search bar to clikc "Lowest price first" that way you'll see who's selling it the cheapest and the shipping should be cheap, if not free!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I'll definitely do an update on this after a month or so, I have high hopes for it as seen above :)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Have you tried Bioderma yet? Or do you think it's just another hyped up product?</span></div>

I found myself reaching for it this past week so figured I might as well finish it off! It has a lovely smell and it works really well at moisturising particularly dry skin.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory-Soaper-Heroes-Gift-Set_868465/"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">S&G's hair Supply (travel size)</span></a> - Let me just say I am not a fan of this product. I don't feel it nourishes my hair as much as other hair conditioners, even when I've left it on for 10 mins. It makes my hair feel greasy after washing, so I hid it for as long as I could. But with my drawers looking pretty full again I might as well just use it on days I'm not doing much and don't need my hair to look its best. So perfect for coursework days when I'm stuck at my desk going mad!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.originalsource.co.uk/skin-care-products/hair/tea-tree-shampoo"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Original Source Tea Tree & Mint shampoo</span></a> - I used to use this everytime I washed my hair for about three years, until I tried the Loreal Elvive Triple Resist range and have been using that every single time. But this bad boy smells amazing, so fresh and revitalising. It makes my hair feel and look so clean and I feel when I use it I have to wash my hair less often. Always a winner in my eyes!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-2000-Cream-Puff-Lip-Cream_1222512/"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Collection 2000 Cream Puff Lip Cream in Fairy Cake?</span></a> - I'm unsure of the colour name as the label peeled off when I was removing those stupid security stickers Superdrug put on everything; I bloody hate those things, bane of my life!<br />But even though I love this colour and how it looks on me, I don't wear this often enough, so I'm determined to use it more this month, even though we're destined to have typical April weather.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/404/Tea-Tree-Toner-Water-100g"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Lush Tea Tree Water</span></a> - I was recommended this by someone with similar skin to my own (combination/oily) and was an eager beaver to give it a try, but it didn't wow me. It did refine my pores and help get rid of spots quicker, so I feel if I use it up then I can make a more accurate decision on whether I like it or not.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Tresemme-natural-moisture-shampoo-500ml_1142605/"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Tresemme Naturals shampoo</span></a> - Bought this last year for my holiday and only used half of it, shoved it in a drawer and left it alone. It did really well in cleaning and strengthening my hair (which is what it claims to do!) so i enjoyed using it, but I do like trying out different products.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/_en/_gb/catalog/product.aspx?ParentCatCode=C_SkinCare&CatCode=C_SkinCare_3For2OnAllLipCareProducts&prdcode=31277m"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">TBS lip balm in wild cherry</span></a> - This smells amazing, I love cherry scented things, which is probably what drew me into buying this pot of pointless but lovely smelling stuff. It does not do much for my lips the same way Carmex does, but it does moisturise them well enough. I have half left so I may as well use it, if only for the smell, nom!<br /><br /><a href="www.montagnejeunesse.com/"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">Various Montagne Jeunesse face masks</span></a> - I have about eight or nine of these hidden about in my room, as I tend to spot new ones in my local Home Bargains, buy a handful and then use one and forget about the rest. They are really good, especially for the price (they're no more than £1.50 in Home Bargain) and leave my skin lovely and smooth, so I'll be cracking out a cheeky pamper night more often during April!<br /></span></div></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><br style="font-family: verdana;"><br style="font-family: verdana;"></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family: verdana;">What products are you trying to use up in April? </span><br style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Any blog posts please leave me a link as I love reading posts like this :)</span></span><br /></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02424155692369003423noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168313730003288096.post-38614919199743603982012-04-03T16:33:00.000+01:002012-04-03T16:33:00.774+01:00#130 - March Empties<div style="text-align: center; font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Quite a fair amount of empty products from March, a few that I mentioned in my latest Project 10 Pan post, but some others I found lurking in my drawer that I wanted to use up before buying an alternative.<br /><br /></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdbHl02e2wHSfeADGXaZcX_DiodvNunS2-vGAKIxp21mAi7ohK0VJ-qo4WCiyvx-JZn08DzGHVjNszEgN0q4Qqik4mAF6GSi2hKLz_bDEN5pAHt6mxIuFDst_sXeYSgEZrYNI06k0cbi8F/s1600/DSCF079350.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 487px; height: 364px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdbHl02e2wHSfeADGXaZcX_DiodvNunS2-vGAKIxp21mAi7ohK0VJ-qo4WCiyvx-JZn08DzGHVjNszEgN0q4Qqik4mAF6GSi2hKLz_bDEN5pAHt6mxIuFDst_sXeYSgEZrYNI06k0cbi8F/s400/DSCF079350.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727189829860060850" border="0" /></a><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.boots.com/en/Sudocrem-Skin-Care-Cream-30g_1054131/">Sudocrem</a> - Cannot fault this product, it's brilliant for spots, rashes, marks previous spots have left, just any general irritations your skin may have. I love they brought out this handy tube sometime last year, soo much easier than the tubs as I can have it in my bag when I'm travelling.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/288/Mask-of-Magnaminty-Face-Mask-125g"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Lush's Mask of Magnaminty</span></a> - I bought this about three months ago on the recommendation of the lovely shop assistant as I was after a mask that would help reduce the oil on my face, clear my skin up in general and sort out the dreaded pores on my nose. I love this mask, I'm going to repurchase it when I'm next out. I use it two times a week, maybe more if my skin needs it, and it deeply cleanses my skin leaving it feeling refreshed and squeaky clean, but not tight. The ground Aduki beans and Evening Primrose seeds allow for a gentle but effective exfoliation, reducing the amount of time you need to spend washing your face!<br />If you have oily/combination skin please try it, you won't be disappointed! And it lasts for ages as it doesn't need to be kept in the fridge.<br /></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:85%;" ><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Palmers-Cocoa-Butter-Formula-Lip-Balm-with-SPF-15-4g_955261/"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Palmer's Cocoa Butter lip balm</span></a> - A basic I picked up in one of Boot's 3 for 2 offers a while ago, but it's actually switched me from my beloved Carmex, to this sneaky sod. It's really moisturising, smells amazing and it heals and stops my lips from being chapped and horrible.<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);" href="http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory-Travel-Size-Righteous-Butter%C2%99-Body-Butter-50ml_27902/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">S&G's The Righteous Butter</span></a> - I've already raved about this item before so I won't go on, but it's a brilliant moisturiser, really good for dry skin such as elbows, knees and heels.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/TRESemme-Split-Remedy-Split-Mend-Intense-Recovery-Masque-300ml_1247360/"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Tresemme Split Remedy Hair Intense Recovery Masque</span></a> - I bought this on a whim about four months ago when I was looking for a new deep treatment and spotted this was buy one get one free. Now I'm under no illusions and do not think this will repair my split ends; the only thing for that is a good chop! But this makes my hair so soft, so manageable, easier to style, and it makes my split ends less noticable which is a big plus. I tend to wash my hair and cover it in this, stick my hair turban on and leave it in for about an hour, so my hair can really soak it up. Another alternative is I coat my hair in this the night before I wash it and leave it in over night. You wash it the next day and have amazing feeling/looking hair. It's not too expensive either, worth a try!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/L-Oreal-Paris-Super-Liner-Carbon-Gloss_862516/"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Loreal Super Liner Carbon Gloss</span></a> - I think every blogger and their cat uses this liner! But it is my favourite one yet, super black without having to layer it up, quick drying and the nib is the easiest one I've used so far. my only gripe is that it's not very water-proof, so if your eyes water in the wind or you have hayfever, this won't necessarily last long. But I think having a primer underneath helps its longevity.<br />I'm going to try out the S&G liquid liner next, as I love their kohl liner already!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Aussie-3-Minute-Miracle-Frizz-Remedy_17591/"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Aussie 3MM Frizz Remedy</span></a> - An old faithful, the Aussie 3MM's are something I always have in my drawer but don't always reach for, but when I do I always wonder why I leave them alone so much. It is fantastic and makes my hair really soft and lovely, makes me want to swish my hair around like one of those ridiculous TV ads!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory%C2%99-Mini-Scrub-Em-And-Leave-Em%C2%99-Body-Buff-50ml_1190418/"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">S&G Scrub Em & Leave Em</span></a> - I hate to end the post on a negative, but I do not like this scrub. I got it as part of a set at Christmas, and was looking forward to trying it out as I've been in love with S&G's Flake Away for over two years now. But this did not exfoliate my skin that well, it was hard to rinse off and it left my skin feeling sticky, like there was a thin film covering it. I'm disappointed as this is the only S&G product I've tried and disliked. But I'm happy I finished it off as I wasn't prepared to just chuck it out, I'm pretty stubborn like that.<br /><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >What products have you used up this Month?

I allowed myself to buy some clothes too as I haven't bought anything since early December, and I was due some pretty clothes for Spring.<br />I also got some photo frames from Primark for £1 and got Glamour on my way to the train as it comes with a Percy & Reed hair product I fancied trying out.<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpagONmIyoYPvCtKsMm_zQQHnMgnDJlCqusFaCD2q7h6Tt0U4s2kNbCrzr2MVrYtwL2MdNqvTyA3vyPZG-8LzrijoI_fo1GPjsfjS_cKk17OSj1HTJigIniHborZg7yR2j5fC_MCO0Wjbj/s1600/DSCF068450.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 550px; height: 412px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpagONmIyoYPvCtKsMm_zQQHnMgnDJlCqusFaCD2q7h6Tt0U4s2kNbCrzr2MVrYtwL2MdNqvTyA3vyPZG-8LzrijoI_fo1GPjsfjS_cKk17OSj1HTJigIniHborZg7yR2j5fC_MCO0Wjbj/s400/DSCF068450.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717141764826171506" border="0" /></a><br />Candles, cut-out candle holder: all Primark<br /><br />I went straight to the home department as I was on the hunt for a jar to store my make up brushes in, and found this pretty hot pink number. I decided to use this for tea lights (see above right) instead and am using my glass candle holder for brushes and whatnot.<br />If you like delicious smelling candles but don't want to fork out your hard-earned pennies, I suggest you look out for these Vanilla Frosting candles - only £1!<br />And it smells amazing even before you light it, like hot popcorn. I doubt that was the smell they were going for, but it's still yummy!<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-kIhmGjfv8YwDgrzaviadeRXHRHQy-NCb3nuLU7ThJyHcFMczm1YXZ_ojddBw4YRtjN-Zk6T8egoDdKx6gsKP4Ad2Qm2RCK4VAWHC-7zFbvLzXuW5RoGYYzRIrxfrK9EFT2Mb9utgQre6/s1600/DSCF070950.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 534px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-kIhmGjfv8YwDgrzaviadeRXHRHQy-NCb3nuLU7ThJyHcFMczm1YXZ_ojddBw4YRtjN-Zk6T8egoDdKx6gsKP4Ad2Qm2RCK4VAWHC-7zFbvLzXuW5RoGYYzRIrxfrK9EFT2Mb9utgQre6/s400/DSCF070950.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717141283584234530" border="0" /></a><br />Jarmie pants and shorts: Primark - Chinos: H&M<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I certainly don't need any more jarmie pants, but at £1 each in the sale I couldn't say no, so snapped up these bad boys. They're so comfy, but I'll be sticking to the pants for now as it's still pretty nippy in England!<br />Chinos are something I've been after for maybe a year now, but could never find either the right colour, shape, length or size I wanted, so I gave up. Thankfully I found these by chance as soon as I stepped into H&M. Perfect fit, perfect length, and I love the colour. I'm proud of myself as I usually choose black pants, maybe I'm evolving/maturing...<br /></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIopBqygIoo0xLyNIaXtJivcBv-va2Dhv-a2C5MWZmuvk9he8N6Jk48DUi0NFRRiGAM9PXbnwuJAx26HZu5vHf66XJDl_X8aDaTo7GmSOkgjZfU2aPhSjGPfP_6RbWk6g25dVr9dKUUeyg/s1600/DSCF071350.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 534px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIopBqygIoo0xLyNIaXtJivcBv-va2Dhv-a2C5MWZmuvk9he8N6Jk48DUi0NFRRiGAM9PXbnwuJAx26HZu5vHf66XJDl_X8aDaTo7GmSOkgjZfU2aPhSjGPfP_6RbWk6g25dVr9dKUUeyg/s400/DSCF071350.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717141273309895154" border="0" /></a><br />Grey top, striped dress: H&M<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The grey top isn't something I necessarily needed - I have about five grey tops already. It was the fit that drew me in, it's so comfy and slouchy, I won't have a problem pairing it with something. The dress was again an impulse buy, but I did realise once I got home that I don't have a striped dress ( I do but I don't wear it often, it's more suited to nights out) to wear on a day-to-day basis. It looks like nothing on the hanger, but it fits like a glove, looks really nice on. I just have to buy some nude underwear now as I was wearing black when I tried it on; looked awfully trampy haha<br /><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2WA4j4hk72jOXqN9NsK5JS-fWOtsEkB5zv0hrWvRDxwdVFazad1g-9zvbxcTHpqbwHJz1zgMIDqKAdW3aRn5CHKkE6QsV3bWO0UQZ7W8nko1jFG3Y7CyJRDEFK1nrR14Aoz3y-Avu0aJB/s1600/DSCF071550.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 550px; height: 412px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2WA4j4hk72jOXqN9NsK5JS-fWOtsEkB5zv0hrWvRDxwdVFazad1g-9zvbxcTHpqbwHJz1zgMIDqKAdW3aRn5CHKkE6QsV3bWO0UQZ7W8nko1jFG3Y7CyJRDEFK1nrR14Aoz3y-Avu0aJB/s400/DSCF071550.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717141270973015970" border="0" /></a><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Tops: All Primark<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;">The New York top is from the men's department; I prefer going there for t shirts as they're comfier, and usually half the price! This was only £3 so I suggest you snap it up quicksmart, or just rob it from your boyfriend!<br />I love the horse print on the middle top, the only thing I'm unsure of is the peplum bottom of it; I will probably just wear it tucked into a high-waisted skirt anyway so I'm not too fussed.<br />Again the striped top is something I'll wear tucked into jeans or a skirt, but I loved the colours on it and I was well overdue some brighter items in my seemingly monotone wardrobe.<br /></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgIZX6PkKsSoUhxIImP4Wq-AU0WXWr05E9AdFsDp7Mio4xUsLYBfy6EhvcPzYhZ6WTXaIBnJKyDGsrECnf9aX2CCUmmpL6OWIjGboJ5cd3JkZPVDGHs5aTdV2kXhmfw1wbgqUJNSmQvN0p/s1600/DSCF069650.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 533px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgIZX6PkKsSoUhxIImP4Wq-AU0WXWr05E9AdFsDp7Mio4xUsLYBfy6EhvcPzYhZ6WTXaIBnJKyDGsrECnf9aX2CCUmmpL6OWIjGboJ5cd3JkZPVDGHs5aTdV2kXhmfw1wbgqUJNSmQvN0p/s400/DSCF069650.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717141744822811762" border="0" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQrjxKKxpzB8-agYepOWEYxJn3c-1yTGjIxhbi8NpfY6RL4oEd6ezalcoNC3wfq9ngv75Yf4WBsMvMuAiFobyuKmN_TgP95EH2KdsHQrUpoewfmGUwbGw0hvXjTd4KrgGBhf_j-4P9x8et/s1600/DSCF068750.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 550px; height: 412px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQrjxKKxpzB8-agYepOWEYxJn3c-1yTGjIxhbi8NpfY6RL4oEd6ezalcoNC3wfq9ngv75Yf4WBsMvMuAiFobyuKmN_TgP95EH2KdsHQrUpoewfmGUwbGw0hvXjTd4KrgGBhf_j-4P9x8et/s400/DSCF068750.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717141294617325042" border="0" /></a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0jwZSNr5hcJ0ibK17sYv0yCXp8xv82ZmYCDTQQ1HJUeetc-LJWGyAv5liFJysl02mXH_yP-fo_58dFxnBwP-lAL4tZ4DvqT31-x_DBLBwC47cBUGgwPd3WEVN8qQvIdT2iVrEsUtOEn5A/s1600/DSCF070850.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 550px; height: 412px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0jwZSNr5hcJ0ibK17sYv0yCXp8xv82ZmYCDTQQ1HJUeetc-LJWGyAv5liFJysl02mXH_yP-fo_58dFxnBwP-lAL4tZ4DvqT31-x_DBLBwC47cBUGgwPd3WEVN8qQvIdT2iVrEsUtOEn5A/s400/DSCF070850.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717141284074502018" border="0" /></a><br />Watch: Next - Necklaces, Rings: H&M<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left; font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I've been without a watch for maybe two months now, since my last one pretty much fell off my wrist due to me wearing the strap out! My auntie gave me a giftcard at Christmas and I've only just gotten round to buying another watch, nothing fancy just a plain gold with a leather strap.<br />I don't have any long gold necklaces, these were only £3.99 so snapped them up, along with the sets of rings and a gold ring as I only have one at the moment, and I tend to wear about four rings at once.</span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Have you picked up any bargains in Primark lately?</span><br /></div></div></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02424155692369003423noreply@blogger.com3
