<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Well hey hey everyone! It has been a hot minute since I have posted but school just completely took over beyond belief. However, to make up for lost time, as you can see from the first picture this post is the start of a summer series! Prepare yourselves for posts dedicated to essentials and pretty things I love for the summer.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> As you can see this post is all about the beauty- what better place is there to start? So lets delve in to the things I love to use during these hotter months when that glow on your face that has evolved by mid afternoon may not necessarily be that highlighter you applied in the morning...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u><br /></u></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u>1. The bronzed glowy cheeks- Too Faced Sun Bunny Natural Bronzer</u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">With one side a matte dark bronzer and the other a shimmer golden highlighter this product is so pretty for the cheeks during the hotter months. Dust it over the cheeks and it will look as if you have just been in the Bahamas sun bathing uninterrupted for a good week.Who needs the Bahamas now hey? (okay the Bahamas would still be nice who am I kidding)</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;"><u>2. The easy barely there base- Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturizing Balm</u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This tinted moisturizer/skin care hybrid has really saved me now its getting warmer. Is it just me that hates the feeling of a thick foundation on the face when its warm? I feel like my pores are <i>clogged </i>(tmi?). Undetectable on the skin this product makes it look as if you're having a really really <i>really</i> good skin day. I often get people asking me what skincare I use to get glowing skin when I'm wearing this. I always say if other people notice it then it must just be<i> that</i> good.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u><br /></u></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u>3. The moisturizing pop of colour- Revlon Just Bitten Kissable in Lovesick</u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Yes I still do love this. With an instant pop of pink perfect for those even with the driest of lips this is ideal. Even better its easy to just throw in your bag for top ups during the day. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u><br /></u></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u>4. The midday refresher- Caudalie Beauty Elixir</u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Now I won't lie to you, I initially had no idea what this did so being myself I just decided to buy now and figure out later (I blame all the bloggers/youtubers of the internet for that impulse). For once my impulsiveness actually worked. This is great to use during the day to just spray over the face and it'll instantly refresh the makeup on your face looking as if it was just applied. It also smells divine. </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;">What are your life saving makeup bits for the summer? or do you just like to go au naturel without any makeup on?(you brave one) share below!</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Make sure you follow on bloglovin' to see the next post in the summer series. Will it be summer sounds, fashion or lifestyle? (I don't know either yet I won't lie ) (let's all stay tuned for more) </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Winter is the perfect time to experiment with lip colors for a girl like myself who is normally <i>just too damn shy</i>. The 4 above have proved to be my faves for -if you live in the UK you will certainly know this- these freezing past December days and with the month almost over I thought I'd share them with you. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><u>1. Cyber by Mac:</u> </i>Not for the feeble(like I normally am) this deep almost black purple shade is extremely vampy. Lovely to wear in the evenings to make a statement and with mac's dazzle glass in "date night" over the top it looks so pretty with a glossy sheen too. hashtag versatile (notice me putting hashtag instead of a #) (it's a joke) (sorry)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><u>2. Heather Shimmer by Rimmel:</u></i> I simply can't get enough of this browny-pinky hue and heck I think I may have found a nude color that actually suits my skin tone. In Rimmel's new moisture renew formulation this glides on like a dream and keeps the lips nice and moisturized which for these biting chapped lips making windy days is certainly a plus. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u><i>3. Baby Lips by Maybelline: </i></u>This doesn't have a name for the shade but it is the red toned version. Extremely sheer but gives s subtle red tinge to the lips which with rosy pink wind bitten cheeks from the cold looks cute and wintery. </span></span><br />
<u><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></i></u>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u><i>4. Show Off by Topshop:</i></u> Can't ever beat a good candy pink lipstick whatever the weather. A surprisingly moisturizing formula this pop of pink livens up any makeup look even in the face of such dull and grey wintery weather. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Do you have any winter lip product faves? Share them below! </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">One thing I love about this time of year is the switch up from pastel cutesy summer items into darker more berry toned a/w items which are just more my style! This is a collection of beauty bits and 1 quite significant fashion bit that I have loved adding to my a/w '14 look. For me this time of the year is all about the rosy cheeked vampy look which completely matches the darker evenings and the crisp "I can't believe I have to get up at this time and omg it's so cold my fingers are dropping off" winter mornings. </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;">The summer is all about light makeup bases including tinted moisturizers and those elusive-nobody knows really what they're really for-BB creams. However the winter really brings out the worst in my skin with it becoming drier than I thought humanly possible therefore I love to go for a slightly heavier foundation base a la *American summer holiday purchase alert* <i>Covergirl's Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 foundation</i>. With a primer and concealer built in as well as the foundation, this gem is the ultimate in the multi-tasking product perfect for that lazy winter half awake morning makeup sesh. For those rosy cheeks which are almost a must this time of the year, <i>Illamasqua's Cream Blusher in Dixie</i> gives that bitten berry pink hue. </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;">For the eyes I am obsessed with bronze-y glittery eyes and a sleek cat eye flick this fall. <i>Soap and Glory's Supercat Liquid Eyeliner Pen</i> in Black creates that perfect feline flick with the felt tip pen application allowing an easy glide over your eyelid. To add that seasonal pop of glitter, <i>Illamasqua's </i>(Illamasqua is clearly having a moment in this post) <i>pure pigment in ore</i> is ridiculously vibrant packing that perfect glittery punch.</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;">On the lips, berry colors are my ultimate favourite for this time of year with two picks making it into this post. The luxe golden packaging of<i> Estee Lauder's Signature Lipstick in Woodland Berry</i> makes it irresistible and the pinky berry shade is so wearable. Dark Vampy reds are also a must for this time of year with <i>Elf's Matte Lip Color in Rich Red</i> giving that dark mysterious lip look. This deep purple-y colour features again on my nails for this month a la <i>Revlon's Devil's Lure</i> (that name creeps me out every time). One coat and this will give you a fresh berry nail with two or three coats giving you a deep deliciously dark tone.</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;">Oh boy and those Timberland boots just speak for themselves; comfortable, warm and wintery. I think it's safe to say I am utterly obsessed with these. I almost want it to get extremely cold so I can use them for their true purpose. <i>Truly the words of a fashion addict. </i></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What are your fall faves?What makeup look do you go for this time of the year?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm not ready to let go of bright nail colours just because it's officially Autumn (or fall if you're American!)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Light Beige Colour - Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Lychee</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>Mint Colour- Maybelline Forever String Super Stay Gel Nail Colour in Mint For Life</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I don't paint my nails very often but when I do I love to experiment a little bit with patterns and colours. On a visit to Boots (as usual I was in boots they must get tired of me there!) they were doing a buy one get one for half price deal and I decided to go for these two lovely nail colours! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i> </i>Now don't get me wrong I love dark red vampy nails for autumn but I just couldn't bring myself to do that when the sun is still very much shining! I decided to pair the chic <i>'lychee' </i>with the<i> 'Mint for Life' </i>in a triangle at the base of my nails<i> </i>to add a gorgeous pop of colour. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I love this nail look as the triangles kind of elongate the nails and I can't get over how chic and understated <i>'lychee'</i> is. The gel texture of the polish adds a pretty high shine to the nails which I also love and makes them last much longer without chipping. I'd definitely recommended these polishes! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i></i><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> If you want a tutorial on this nail look just comment below and I'd be happy to.</span></span><br />

<div style="position: relative;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/wanted_list/set?.embedder=1822388&.svc=blogger&id=94723917" target="_blank"><img alt="The wanted list" border="0" force="1" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/WFGhVKKgIhzA5W02XR2dHg/cid/94723917/id/x1QcrmqpSeGHKZk5EvHAZA/size/c500x427.jpg" title="The wanted list" /></a></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I don't ask for much do I?</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<small><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/wanted_list/set?.embedder=1822388&.svc=blogger&id=94723917" target="_blank"></a></small><br />
<small><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So as you can see from the title this is the first post of a new feature: the Wishlist! This is essentially a list of things I am d-y-i-n-g to have at the moment and as I produce more of these you'll begin to realize how varied my beauty/fashion desires are and how unrealistically expensive my taste is.....</span></span></small><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">1. <a href="http://www.narscosmetics.co.uk/color/cheeks/blush/blush/taj-mahal?utm_source=pepperjam&utm_medium=2845&utm_campaign=4-111016&d=true" target="_blank"><u>Nars 'Taj Mahal' Blush</u></a>- Recently I purchased 'orgasm' from Nars ( it was extremely awkward asking the makeup artist if I could buy an orgasm) and was so impressed with how pigmented it was. This has made my mission in this life to collect them all so my latest want is this shade. It seems like such a gorgeous bronze-y/peachy shimmer and I would love to add it to my collection! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">2.<a href="http://www.mulberry.com/shop/womens-bags/shoulder-bags/medium-lily-deer-brown-grainy-print-leather" target="_blank"> <u>Mulberry Medium 'Lily' Bag</u></a>- Now this. oh. my. gosh. I have stalked this bag online for a while but after seeing it for real in Selfridges the other day the want for this is real. A bit on the pricey side and I haven't brought a Mulberry before but I would love to own one! It is a much more practical size to the original rather puny Lily so would be a great weekend bag. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">3. <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Lipstick/index.tmpl" target="_blank"><u>Mac Lipstick in 'Rebel'</u></a>- Oh I pray for the day where I will be confident enough to wear this lipstick.The colour is so gorgeous but so deep! I feel as if it would catch everyone's attention so this makes me quite nervous to purchase it. I literally cannot remember the amount of times I've swatched it in the store so hopefully one of these days I will pluck up the courage and actually buy it. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">4. <a href="http://www.julesb.co.uk/womenswear-2/rose-gold-amy-watch-mbm3056-726262.htm?source=webgains&siteid=61259" target="_blank"><u>Marc by Marc Jacobs Gold 'Amy' Watch</u></a>- Having had my current Storm London watch for 2 years I feel like a change and this would suit perfectly! The colour and style of it is so classic and the size is not too large. I've seen so many people wearing this watch and it looks so much prettier in person!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<small><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">5. <a href="http://www.oxygenboutique.com/coltrane.aspx" target="_blank"><u>Jeffrey Campbell 'Coltrane' Shoes</u></a>- o m g. Like seriously. I can't even. I am completely in love with these boots. With winter fast approaching I have had my eye on these and it has been a competition between them and timberland boots but it's safe to say these have won. However, everywhere I look online they are sold out in my size! The hunt for these boots has officially begun: let the hunger games begin. (sorry I had to put in that reference) (team peeta btw) </span></span></small></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">After makeup I am almost definitely sure that bags are my favorite things. I don't know about you but it seemed like there was such a fuss over this bag when it first came out and <i>I my friends was one of those causing that fuss. </i>The classic shape and simplicity of this bag meant that it was extremely popular and as I'm not an impulse buyer on these things it meant I missed out on the first 'batch'. Is it just me or does something become <i>even more</i> desirable when it's sold out everywhere? Now that it's in my hands I absolutely adore it! The size is a perfect with there just being enough space inside to hold your essentials and other not so essentials. (e.g. about 10 different lip balms). Due to it's colour I've been quite careful about taking it out so as you can see from the last picture <i>I still haven't taken it out. </i>However once I get over the irrational fear of it being stained by car fumes this WILL make it's debut and what a stylish debut it will be.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Skincare skincare skincare: one of my favourite things to talk about. Why so? To me, without good skin underneath, your makeup isn't going to look all the great right? <i>right. </i>With this in mind I recently decided I needed to get a good solid skin care routine together so off hunting for products did I go and stumbled upon this gem. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">If like me you have dry sensitive skin that's slightly dehydrated, you probably find yourself looking products that'll do their job whilst also boosting moisture and not breaking you out. Well <i>step forward Lancôme </i>with this lovely cleanser offering. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So what does it <i>actually</i> do? Used after I remove my makeup featuring <a href="http://beau-tify.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/review-1-loreal-paris-absolute-makeup.html" target="_blank">this</a>, I apply this cleansing milk to melt away what stubborn makeup remains. Not only does it do that but it also moisturizes the skin at the same time leaving soft and smooth skin behind. Upon using it my skin feels instantly hydrated and we're still only on the second stage of our skincare routine: <i>win. </i>It's texture is silky smooth when you apply it to the face not to mention it smells heavenly. Packed with ingredients such as honey, almond extracts and milk proteins it's like you can't go wrong with this product. </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 become a firm favorite in the skin care stakes. </span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Let's admit it, you really don't have as much time as you'd like everyday to spend on applying your makeup. If like me, you genuinely enjoy the process of applying it, this can be really annoying and sometimes frustrating. However it is possible to wack out a fairly fresh face of makeup in just 5 minutes. So are you ready? 3,2,1 go!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Always find myself reaching for this primer when I want to add a nice radiant 'dewy' look to the face. Provides a nice smooth base for the rest of your makeup whilst still giving you that healthy glow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Don't get me wrong, I am mostly skeptical of anything labelled 'tinted', 'bb' or 'cc'. However, this can be easily built up to give light coverage and the best part? it is the ultimate in dewy skin. (see a theme starting to emerge here?)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Grabbing a dense kabuki brush and applying this to your cheekbones and across the top of your forehead can really inject some dimension back into your face. Not too orange-y and not too muddy leaves you the perfect shade of bronze. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Apply this at the tops of your cheeks, down the centre of your nose and onto your cupids bow to give a fresh faced bronzed sheen. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So as you've obviously guessed from the title this post is about all things pink. I've rifled through my draws to find those products that just look <i>pretty</i> (is that too much to ask?). So let's see what's up here now shall we?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Clockwise from top left:</i></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;"><u>Soap and Glory's 'Love at First Blush'- </u><i><u> </u></i>This here is one of those cute spiral products with different shades of pink and a little white highlight that I find a bit more mesmerizing that I should. Swirl around with a real techniques blush brush and it gives you a sort of hybrid between a blush and a highlighter which adds a cute glow to your cheeks: <i>win.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u><br /></u></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u>Topshop liptick in 'Show Off'- </u>The perfect pop of bright pink ties together any makeup look. I love pairing this with a nude eye and simple makeup to make the bubblegum shade pop. This bright lip action is the ultimate in girly pink shades.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u><br /></u></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u>Lush Lip Scrub in 'Bubblegum'-</u> Not a makeup product but still beaut non the less. If like me you have dry lips all year round (<i>yes that's gross I'm sorry not sorry</i>) then you'll love this. Lush's lip offering smooths clean my lips like no other and I really don't know how I lived without it. The best part? It's edible so you can lick it off your lips once you're done: <i>yum</i>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u><br /></u></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u>Dior Addict Lip Gloss in 'Rose Surprise'-</u> My most recently purchased pink offering is living up to its hype. The pinky colour paired with subtle glitter added to the gloss gives such a rosy shine to the lips. I've been loving this recently for a low key colour offering to daily makeup looks. I have no idea why it took me so long to get round to buying this beauty.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I really do love collecting different lotions, butters and body scrubs; nothing beats the feeling of having moisturized skin. On a browse of the Soap and Glory aisles I spotted this little product and decided to give it a go!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For only <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory%C2%99-The-Righteous-Butter%C2%99-Lotion-500ml_1208210/?affwin&awc=2041_1375959956_30b3c4a84fd34beb25c8c15ed4d36397&cm_mmc_o=-uubkbzfwlCjCKww5kbELCjCvi%20i9%20niioCjCC" target="_blank">£10</a> you do get a lot for your money as I've been using it for a while and have barely used up a quarter of it. I mostly enjoy using this after a shower because it immediately sinks into your skin. This spares you from the dreaded situation of sitting around waiting for lotions to dry before you can get on with your life! This lotion leaves my skin feeling moisturized and nourished fast. I love the smell of it too:it's such a light slightly flowery scent which is perfect for post shower skincare. If you're next in boots give this a go(it'll be even more irresistible when the 3 for 2 is on). I know that I will so be re-buying this when it runs out. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> When it comes to eye and lip makeup removers I think it's fair to say I haven't had much luck in the past. Normally it takes tugging and pulling at my mascara to remove it which is <i>most probably not </i>doing much good.</span></span></div>
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Idly looking through the skincare aisles at boots (as usual) I spotted this little gem and for only<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Paris-Dermo-Expertise-Absolute-Make-Up-Remover-Eye-and-Lip-125ml_50132/" target="_blank"> £3.33</a> I thought I'd give it a chance. Held on my eyes by a cotton pad for a couple of seconds and with one clean swipe most of my eye makeup is completely gone leaving just those troublesome specks of mascara behind. One more cotton pad and everything else disappears: I am in love. Used on lips this gets better and better removing even the "matte-est" of lip sticks in one go. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Greasy residue? No. Efficent? Yes. Leaves silky smooth skin behind? Yes.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Think this gets a permanent spot in my draws.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It has really been heating up here in the UK with temperatures reaching the giddy heights of 27 degrees <i>(I know)</i>. This may seem ridiculous to those of you who live in hot countries every day of the year but this change of scenery has seen me reaching for new products that have long been gathering dust. My love for them is now reignited so lets cut with the rambling and actually talk about the products <i>shall we? </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1.<u> MAC studio sculpt foundation in NC44 </u>- When first using it I layered it on far too thick and instantly dismissed it as too "unnatural looking". However having harnessed the power of my <u>elf studio stipple brush</u> this summer, I've been able to spread this foundation nice and sheer <i>if I do say so myself. </i> Covers all that needs to be gone, nice semi-matte finish and looks flawless for that summer evening meal: what more could you ask for?</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2. <u>Nars Laguna Bronzer</u> - Ahh that good old <i>cult classic </i>and I bet you're almost sick of hearing about it<i>. </i>However I can't help but mention it as it has featured on my face almost daily this month. I am quite dark skinned so laguna is only 1 or 2 shades darker than my skin tone and this makes for a nice natural glow bar the dreaded orange-ness that seems to feature in far too many bronzers these days. Laguna: <i>I love you. </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">3. <u>Benefit's Erase Paste</u> - Weather that's heating up often makes me lazy in the whole foundation department so this month I found myself picking up this gem much more regularly. A nice pasty (states the obvious) creamy texture smoothed over the skin covered up those problem areas beautifully. Summer pursuits at the park? Skip foundation and jump to this: <i>thank me later. </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">4. <u>Vera Wang Lovestruck</u>- Summer scent offering to the forefront if you please. Such a gorgeous light smell that's not too flowery. Smells fantastically feminine and is great to spritz just before you leave the house; or even at home <i>what the heck? </i>(The bottle also looks pretty on the dresser too)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i> </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">5. <u>Stila 'In the Light Palette'</u> - The palette I often forget I have was making waves this month. A pretty mixture of shimmer with some matte shades to see you through these months. 'Kitten' dusted all over the lid with 'Sandstone' in the outer v makes for some pretty daily lid action. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
