What changed my mind was my new passion and love for perfumery. I've scoured the Internet for new niche fragrances and came across <a href="https://bloomperfume.co.uk/" target="_blank">Bloom Perfumery</a>. Bloom offers so much more than an olfactory journey for many of us, but also offers unique body care products.</span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today's review is on Feret Parfumeur Hyalomiel Gel for your hands. I must admit that this is a new brand to me as it has been a long time since I've ventured outside of my usual pampering routine and products. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unique is the first word that came to mind when I apply this clear gel onto my hands. It's a honey textured clear gel that cools as you apply onto your hands. It takes about 10 seconds to dry and when it does, it turns matte and your skin is left moisturised and glistening. It provides a powder finish that will ma</span><span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ttify</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> your hands if you have sticky summer hands :)</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the main ingredients in this product is honey (which is from the Garrigue according to the package), which acts as a humectant. Honey is also a bacteria killer, so I can imagine this hand gel is great to use on travel to refresh and to sanitise your hands. The cool gel like refreshing feeling is also ideal for this summer, so I would definitely grab this now. Also, if you have sensitive skin or sun burnt skin, I believe this would be ideal to help soothe the irritated skin.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to share with you all some things that I treated myself too recently. I've had a lot of costume jewellery tarnish on me and most of it was binned or given to charity. I was so in love with topshop jewellery, only to be disappointed when the gold would wear off. It's just so painful to have to get rid of a piece of jewellery that you love. Sure it only cost me like £1-3 each, but I have nothing to show for it now and it feels like wasted money. Now, I'm not saying that designer jewellery never tarnishes, but I haven't had to toss away any of my designer costume jewellery away ever. So it's all about having less but having it for longer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ringing in 2015 with some Moschino love</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

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

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All purchased from <a href="http://www.luisaviaroma.com/" target="_blank">Luisaviaroma</a> during their sale. They were offering an additional 20% off sale items with free international shipping, so I took the plunge. My order arrived 2 days later from Italy. That's not bad at all really.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The photos online did not do justice for what arrived in the post. The jewellery is heavy and well made. The only disappointment was that the boxes were thin. I like a nice heavy box when it comes to my designer pieces. Overall though, I'm happy with the purchases and looking forwarded to adding that golden bling to my all-black wardrobe this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm really loving what Jeremy Scott is doing with Moschino. It's reminiscent of the 90's and my childhood with a touch of couture. I love it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I lost my way a bit in beauty blogging. It started off with being busy with work, and then I was falling behind on what was new and felt what I would write would be irrelevant in a beauty world that was going at such a fast pace.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn't recognise the beauty blogging world anymore. It began to be filled with PR samples instead of real purchases and my mistrust for the authenticity of posts couldn't be shaken.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the meanwhile, I began a massive cull of my collection in order to minimise my life and I didn't think someone would want to read about that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But for 2015, I decided to take this blog in a different direction. Whether this will interest anyone is unknown, but I hope you join me as I minimise my life and use up the beauty products that I have before they have to be binned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have now moved for the 9th time in my life. This time, 5 hours away to a lovely quaint seaside town for work. This move made me realise a few things:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. I had things in storage that I forgot I had, leading me to believe that I never needed it or wanted it that badly to begin with</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. I have way too many eye shadows and nail polishes that I could possibly use in my lifetime</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. I was holding onto clothes that I hoped would I would fit into one day, and lastly</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. I realised the amount of money I spent on things that would go off if I didn't use it soon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So what to expect from this blog this year?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Products I have used up and my reviews of them and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My struggle as I embark on a beauty no-buy (other than foundation once I finish the ones I have) for 2015. (Even as I write that, I am panicking at the idea of a no-buy for an entire year)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So Merry Christmas everyone out there and see you in 2015 x</span><br />
<br />

I actually had a chance to do my nails on a regular basis so I'm falling in love with some oldies. Can you call Alchimie an oldie yet? The nail world moves so fast with so many polishes coming in at an alarming rate. I just can't keep up (and neither can my bank account).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Today I wanted to share Alchimie. It's very similar to <a href="http://tokkiandoliver.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/notd-chanel-peridot-nail-polish.html" target="_blank">Peridot</a>, but without a duo chrome finish. This metallic finish on this gives this earthy neutral a nice glammed up look. I like this type of green polish over the others and I've been sporting it lately. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love Chanel polishes so much. What's not to love...The bottles, the textures, the tones, and the formulas. They do things just so right. With any metallic finish, you will get streaky lines, but this one isn't too bad.</span><br />

I am officially on holiday so I'm sitting here in my PJ's in total hibernation mode. I finally gathered up all my haul and swap items in December and can now do a proper post about all the things that I purchased or swapped for.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've been working on downsizing my stash and swapping for items that I will use, so I'm very proud that I managed to get all my beauty stash into my makeup unit on my vanity and an IKEA Helmer :)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>Acne Comet Boots (purchased from Harrods)</b></u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I recently posted about this, but they are finally here. I wore them to work for 2 days and they were so comfortable and I received so many compliments ::blush::</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My only grievance is that the box is pretty standard and flimsy. For boots that originally cost over £400, I expected a little bit more. </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I didn't want to pay the money for a Louis Vuitton refill in my agenda, so I headed to TK Maxx in hopes to find the <u><b>Taschen Calendar Diary</b></u> and Viola! there were tons. Many years ago at Uni, I purchased a Dali one and I loved it. The pages are filled with a lot of graphics and the paper is high gloss and sturdy. It will last all year and it's worth the £5.99 price tag as well.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My favourite of the three has always been Snow Fairy, but I had to get Rose Jam and Ponche for their unique scents. Ponche is fresh orange juice and tequila and Rose Jam is a modern take on the traditional Rose smell. Both are full of zest, freshness, and I love using them! I had to stock up so I ended up buying 3 large bottles after I bought the travel sizes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><u><b>MAC 217 Blending Brush</b></u> was a gift. It's such a great blending brush. It's soft and blends shadow without striping the colour.</span></div>

I had a chance to spend Christmas day doing some much needed retail therapy. In between eating ridiculous amounts of food, I was doing nothing else but online shopping. I was very happy about this and grabbed a few highly sought after items for 50% off of rrp. I could have bought so much this year, but I'm restraining myself from impulse buys (it's so very hard lol).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My first purchase was the Comet Boots by Acne on the Harrod's Boxing Day Sale which started a day early. I am praying that these fit me. These are the type of boots that you have for life and at 50% off RRP, I just had to have them. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The next impulse buy was the Guerlain Terra Nerolia highlight palette that I have given up ever owning. It appeared for 50% off on Debenhams, and I just knew I had to grab it. Look at that beautiful craftsmanship and I just know this is the kind of shimmer that my winter face just needs!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will most definitely do a blog review on the Penhaligon's fragrance sample next. I couldn't believe they got me this beautiful set. What more could a perfume addict want?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The MAC polish is a lovely nude colour that I am actually going to wear today. Cherry in the Air is a very light and sweet fragrance. I will probably use it as a room freshener more so than a fragrance. The Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin is exactly the type of zesty unique scent that I need during these cold winter days. The Clarins body cream is a very light gel like cream and I'm looking forward to taking this with me on my cruise to use :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So these are the little pressies that I treated myself and was treated to this Christmas. I was involved in several swaps online this year. It was a lot of fun and a great way to try new products. I also spent most of my Christmas money at Lush and did a major hoard (which I didn't put on this post as I'm going to re-gift most of it anyways). I realize I need to calm down and step back in the new year and sort out my Lush stash! haha.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and please share with me your favourite purchases and gifts of Christmas 2013. </span><br />

It was odd being in a city alone, despite having co-workers around. On one hand, I felt I should mingle, but on the other hand, I wanted to explore a city on my own. I have never done that before, so this was a perfect chance for me to do so.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Being selfish about wanting to go to the shops I wanted to go to and see the museums that I wanted to go to, I ventured out by myself on a cold winters day. Amsterdam was very easy to walk around. </span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My favourite part of Amsterdam happened to be the Rembrandt Museum. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The best part was
the etching workshop that I did at the Rembrandt museum. There was
something very interesting and unique about doing etchings in the same
place where he did his etchings. What a genius!</span> Oh and the canals. I know...so tourist-y, but that's what I was that day. I walked around eating from local shops. I didn't get photos of the vintage shops that I went into, but there were so many. Unfortunately, I thought the prices were too high for what they were so I ended up buying only some Dutch chocolates and a Koh Crystal Nail File.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've heard so much about Koh nail polish and a few years ago I was obsessed about getting some (this was of course when I still lived in America). When I went into Douglas, the Koh display was so dusty and not cleaned and it looked as cheap as some of the drugstore displays. I didn't get any polishes. They were beautiful, but it just wasn't worth the hefty price tag.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Still very expensive at 27 euros, but I realised that it is something that I will use constantly that isn't a tacky souvenirs that every tourist gets. The quality the crystal file is amazing. It is heavy, and beautifully made; however, it makes an awful noise on my nails that reminds me of when someone runs their nails on a chalkboard. The key is to file slowly and take your time. For that reason, I give this a 7 out of 10. I didn't realise that a crystal nail file would make that noise on my nails. If I would have known, I wouldn't have purchased this, but at least it's a beautiful item for me to have and use and will always remind me of my trip to Amsterdam.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525287791872782977.post-31400045300410518722013-11-15T14:57:00.001+00:002013-11-15T14:57:06.388+00:00October Empties <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It has been ages since I did an empties review. Probably because I have an attention span of a fly and end up giving away most things before I finish them. Well I stuck through these, for better and for worse and this is my review.</span><br />

<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">£20 from Selfrdiges</span></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is my second one that I have gone through. The first time, I thought I may have gotten a bad one as it barely lasted me more than a month. The finish is very natural and great for that daytime natural look, but there is not a lot of product. The actual longevity of the product is great however. I will not be repurchasing this one for the 3rd time. I am now using a Chanel eyebrow pencil and I am happy with that. I will definitely be buying their cream foundation however as soon as I muster up the will to drop £65 on it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">£32 from Boots</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This liquid foundation contains spf 10 and is a lovely nourishing natural foundation. You can build it up for medium coverage, but this is not a full coverage foundation. I fell in love with the texture and the scent of this foundation and have this in two shades. This one is my winter shade in 020 and I have 040 for when I return from holiday with a tan. I would consider re-purchasing this one definitely.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lush released a new series of perfumes last year an this is part of that collection. Sun is a zesty, citrusy and very fruity perfume. It reminds me of a fresh satsuma orange peel and is really pleasant and easy to wear. The base of this perfume is sandalwood oil and it's a very gentle one. It lasts roughly 2-3 on my skin and then it turns into a very subtle sandalwood oil. The bottle comes with a dropper and not a spray. I would definitely repurchase this perfume, especially for the summer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">LUSH Feeling younger skin tint</span></span><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">£12 from Lush.co.uk</span></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a creamy highlighter that I mixed with my foundation and moisturiser for the last year. This 20g pot lasted me that long. You only need a little bit for a healthy glow and it really left my skin feeling moisturised. There are loads of beautiful ingredients in there like oatmeal infusion, almond oil, and cocoa butter that gave my skin the nourishment it needed. I highly recommend this one for those who love to use highlighters to brighten up their face. I will definitely be repurchasing this one!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">MAC Face an Body foundation</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">£21 from Debenhams </span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I bought this foundation after good reviews that I read online. After using the entire 50ml, I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in this foundation. I found that it dried too quickly and if you didn't act fast when applying, it had a tendency to drag the colour. I know this one is not for full coverage, but the website stated that you could layer this up. There were some grand promises with this one and I have to admit that it doesn't stand up to it's review. I will not be buying this one again. The only good part of this foundation is the plastic bottle in which it comes in an it helps with getting all your product out by squeezing it.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Overall this post will give you an idea of the two areas that I am really interested in and that is beautiful skin and perfume. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">MAKEUP:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Using up my stash at a very fast (and scary) pace. I will soon do a empties video. Currently loving the Naked Palette again and wearing Red Lips on a daily basis now.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WISHLIST:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Vivienne Weswood ... anything</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">RANDOM THOUGHT:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I wonder how much all this stuff I need to buy this Christmas is going to set me back?</span><br />

A few weeks ago, I made a pledge to myself to downsize my stash and keep the products that I will use. I ended up sending around 90 products in a large swap and received 4 Chanel nail polishes in return. I was so relieved to make room on my vanity and storage drawer and to add 4 more Chanels into my collection (total of 51 now). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also gave away a few bits to my co-workers and managed to give some away to my mother in law as well. I'm still hanging onto bits that I know I never reach for. I think the hesitation lies in the fact that they are higher end pieces and I'm afraid if I let go, I'll regret it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am treading along, a bit of a struggle but it's movement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm reminded of a great quote by William Morris,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>"Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and Vivienne Westwood,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>"Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity"</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is the motto in which I will finish off 2013 and start 2014. This pertains to beauty products, clothes, everything.<b><br /></b></span><br />

Mail is always so nice to receive isn't it? Yardley London has launched a new gift set to coincide Downton Abbey's Season 4 series. I could go on and on about Downton Abbey but I will spare you all with my obsession with this drama series. All I will say is that I am in love with the fashion and I absolutely love it.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiivEaNoE36nvA3C016Odww71v6P3gMa8hDfG1VicrGwtwEwhXT5ZItm7BAPu2EKTvSdb893qDiCIYt96wqj6YmueKYsND0XW4Azy9ErV0drEP9llq6GGSDMPdbp-yLSkjk5IByjpoDDVIk/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiivEaNoE36nvA3C016Odww71v6P3gMa8hDfG1VicrGwtwEwhXT5ZItm7BAPu2EKTvSdb893qDiCIYt96wqj6YmueKYsND0XW4Azy9ErV0drEP9llq6GGSDMPdbp-yLSkjk5IByjpoDDVIk/s640/photo.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was eager to try this fragrance as I find that all of the fragrances from Yardley are quality for their amazing price points. I don't know how they manage to keep the price points so reasonable. Perhaps they decided they would rather spend money on the product than millions upon millions on tv adverts. Out of all the Yardley fragrances that I have tried to date, Polaire is by far my favourite.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Polaire is a gentle, sophisticated, and complex fragrance. It opens up with a fresh, fruity green top notes of pear and freesia, a comforting yet exhilarating Rose, Ginger and pink pepper heart/middle note, and finally finishes off with Patchouli, Amber and Balsam. There is something very wild yet contained in this fragrance. It nicely represents the female consciousness of the roaring 20's where freedom and fun were a new and exciting concept. It is very modern but without losing the glamour and allure of the 20's. This scent is a familiar scent, but it is very youthful and glamorous at the same time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Polaire didn't stay on my skin for long, so this one will have to be topped up quite often, but it is fantastic when you do spritz it. I'm going to keep this on my work desk to give myself a nice sweet reminder to stay fabulous!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For £19.99, you will get both the 50ml fragrance and the body lotion. They are best when layered for longevity of the fragrance. You can find them at Boots and other stocks <a href="http://www.yardleylondon.co.uk/" target="_blank">here</a>, or on their website <a href="http://www.yardleylondon.co.uk/polaire.html" target="_blank">http://www.yardleylondon.co.uk/polaire</a></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525287791872782977.post-56403644720667318172013-10-07T14:26:00.000+01:002013-10-07T14:26:28.936+01:00Less stuff, Less stressLess stuff, less stress is a phrase that youtuber pinksofoxy said in her latest <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxY0j4-QzBU" target="_blank">video</a>. In search of finding some sort of sanity amongst my tiny room, I decided to finally declutter my stash. For over 5 years, I have been a self-proclaimed makeup junkie/hoarder. Like many of my online friends, I have immersed myself into this beauty world where we would rather buy the latest lipstick or nail polish than food lol. You know I'm right ;) The difference is, my friends all have big houses to store these things in, where as I'm trying to get all of these things into a small one bedroom. <br />
<br />
So I spent the last week gathering everything that I know I won't use in the next 6 months and will begin my declutter.<br />
<br />
Has anyone else done this? Is it really this stressful to de-stress? I'm assuming I will feel better once I get rid of this stuff and finally see some empty space. I have to keep my eye on the prize and that is to finally have some space in this room and whatever money that I recoup from this stuff will go towards a much needed pair of winter boots. WOW, I sound so practical lol.<br />

I am highly impressed by this bath bomb. Not only is it a very complex fragrance combination, but it is a lovely slow fizzer that really moisturizes the skin and leaves you feeling relaxed. The ballistic fills your bathroom with beautiful mysterious aroma and changes colours right before your eyes. The end result is an amazing wine coloured bath. The fragrance is very unique and not your typical run of the mill single note fragrance that most bath bombs have. This is by far my top 3 bath ballistic from Lush. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The ingredients are vanilla, black pepper, and patchouli with some gardenia extract as well. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The formula was easy to use and I love the Dior brush; however, I'm not crazy about the colour. I realised now why I sold this before I moved here. I think the allure of this polish was that it was limited edition and that it was influenced by the streets of NYC. So despite not loving this colour, I will keep this and possibly use it as a base for something else. </span></div>

Not going to make excuses other than the fact that I've been quite busy :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm looking forward to sharing all my recent interests, purchases, and swatches x</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Up first are my Liberty x Vans limited edition trainers. I'm not a trainers type of girl, but these are fun, comfy, and
fulfills my appetite for that traditional Liberty print. For £54.99, I
ended up getting mine online as I missed my chance to get them at
Liberty. They also fit true to size, always a good thing when you are shopping online.</span><br />

Grace is something that I need more in myself and funny enough, Lush's Full of Grace was something that I needed that I didn't even know that I needed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg26QyQNqVwBwJ93KTgkMUQ0ZKdksuzSivksAVBrZ-XXcNLWaj3w_N9vI6irnMJ1sYJZPUAltGrxCW-HC0TDZKiJorqzSIr1uPpeQX01oOqb3o5_pq-ZY3P36IFMHMpg-JTLjHHT2vZkW6m/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg26QyQNqVwBwJ93KTgkMUQ0ZKdksuzSivksAVBrZ-XXcNLWaj3w_N9vI6irnMJ1sYJZPUAltGrxCW-HC0TDZKiJorqzSIr1uPpeQX01oOqb3o5_pq-ZY3P36IFMHMpg-JTLjHHT2vZkW6m/s400/photo.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Full of Grace is small pink/nude solid serum bar. It melts immediately with the touch of your fingetips and apply the melted serum onto your face. Personally, as a day time moisturiser it is too oily, but it is perfect for when I want to give my face a massage in the evening. <br />
<br />
I'm in my 30's now and skincare has become a very important product in my beauty regime. I want something that has long-term benefits and I learned awhile ago that your skin isn't ready to accept products until it is "awaken". I learned that it takes roughly 30 minutes of vigorous massage to wake up the skin and that is why makeup usually doesn't stay on skin. It makes sense to me. There are tons of Asian beauty tools targeted to massage your face as well. So there must be some truth in this?? Whether there is any validity behind that statement, I have been massaging my face whenever I have the time. <br />
<br />
This little bar is full of power as well (so a little goes a LONG way). It has some amazing ingredients like:<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="qi-note">
<span style="font-size: small;">I love all the moisturising butters that they put in this and the fact that there is fresh rose petal infusion in it too, which makes this an extremely delicate serum that I believe has a lot to do with diminishing my roscea. Also, when I use this at night, I find that I don't need as much moisturiser in the morning, because my skin is very supple.</span></div>
<div class="qi-note">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="qi-note">
<span style="font-size: small;">I loved this so much that I already have a backup of it (as you can see from my photo).</span></div>
<div class="qi-note">
<span style="font-size: small;">It's </span>an amazing price for £7.95. Serums usually cost a lot more and I can't even read the ingredients in most of them, so for less than £8, I am very very happy with this serum and it is definitely worth every penny.</div>
<div class="qi-note">

Over a year ago, I reviewed a salon visit and the review was negative as I honestly had one of the worst services ever. Since publishing that review, I have gotten nasty anonymous comments. I published one and responded, but never got a response back. Then just tonight, I got a racist comment awaiting me when I came home.<br />
<br />
Does this sound like a disgruntled employee? or the works of a Troll?<br />
<br />
I don't want to jump the gun and say it is the actual owner of the salon nor it's members, but the comments seem invested into that business to defend them with such vigor.<br />
<br />
Racist attacks will not be tolerated. So I am publicly logging this on my blog for everyone to see. If this harassment continues, I will be seeing a solicitor and the police.<br />
<br />
Here is the blog post which I updated so you can all see what sort of response I received from this company and/or Troll.<br />

<br />
I'd like to add that I know that many people face trolls on their blog. I shutter to think of what kind of messages that big bloggers face. I don't take lightly to harassment via website as I definitely wouldn't accept it in real life, so I have put a tracker on my blog so that I can see where visit hits are coming from. I highly recommend every blogger doing this as well.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Update as of 23-9-13</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The new owner of the salon has contacted me today via email letting me know that it was not anyone from the salon that had left those comments. I did respond to him and told him that I appreciated his email. I also stated that just as I can not be 100% sure that it was an employee that he couldn't be 100% sure that it wasn't. Who would admit to their new boss of such horrid behavior? Having said that, I am happy to announce that the salon is under new management, so there is hope that this salon will turn over a new leaf, improve their customer service and be thriving in a town where we need high end salons such as theirs. Based on the professional email that I received, I have a feeling that there is hope for this salon.</span></b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525287791872782977.post-32075933096643338772013-07-12T19:13:00.003+01:002013-07-12T19:39:41.565+01:00Born Pretty Gold Nail Studs and S10 Stamper Set NOTD<br />
Hi lovelies!<br />
<br />
Born Pretty sent me some more awesome things to try and I had loads of fun! The first one I have to show you are these gold square studs<br />

<br />
You know how much I love metalworks and studs, so I popped these babies on and I got compliments all day long. They were super easy to use. Two coats of polish then I put these bad boys on and then topped off the whole nail with Poshe topcoat. It lasted all day long without falling off too!<br />

The day after I was so eager to try something else that I took these off and I tried stamping for the first time in years. I'm not perfect at it yet, but it was really easy to use. I bought Konad when they first came out and I was awful at it that I sold my konad set. So this is my first attempt since my initial failure. I was quite pleased with all easy it was to use. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My quest for that perfect foundation still continues. When Debenhams was having a sale, I used my card points and bought the Vitalumiere aqua foundation. I heard negative reviews, but when Lisa Eldridge spoke about it on her blog, I knew I had to try it. I quite like Lisa's videos as she has loads of experience with makeup application and can give an unbias opinion as she's using products on all different skin types and not just hers. The best advice that I took away from her videos was to work in thin layers and build on colour. I realized that I was doing the complete opposite, so I went for Vitalumiere aqua to give myself that dewy natural coverage.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The consistency is watery and I didn't think that it would give me enough coverage, but as you can see in the next photo, it blended in beautifully. It gave me that natural and moist/dewy coverage that I needed and wanted all along.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The coverage is very natural and light. I find myself applying 3 thin layers on my face to cover my scars and other imperfections. 3 layers isn't that bad. I use to put on 1 thick layer of my other foundations and I still needed concealer. If you have lots of acne scaring and you want full coverage, this foundation is obviously not for you, but for me this is a great day time coverage.</span></div>

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

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I use my fingers to blend this foundation in and I love how easily it glides on my skin. It almost feels like I'm applying a tinted moisturiser on. So far, I've enjoyed using Vitalumiere aqua and I will most likely repurchase this and use it on the days that I'm looking for light moisturised coverage. Gone are the days where I'm looking for a flawless porcelain skin. Sometimes, you want to give your skin some breathing space and this foundation does just that. It covers enough so that I'm not feeling self-conscious about my skin, but light enough to let my skin breathe and naturally shine. It also has spf 15 so there is some protection as well (which is very important).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />This foundation has Lotus Water and Brown Seaweed Extract which helps with toning and energizing your face. I believe it as my skin does give a slight radiant glow. Who doesn't want to glow right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">£31 at your local Chanel counter, Boots, Debenhams and anywhere else that sells Chanel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Is it worth £31 ? Well that's up to you and your skin needs. If you are like me and desire that natural glow then this is worth it, but for those who like fuller coverage, this may not be your cup of tea.</span><br />

The last time I left, I was telling you all about my trip to Glastonbury. The journey was amazing. The car ride down with friends, to the little village we stopped off for dinner, to the windy and very narrow car path to Glastonbury, and passing by Stonehenge - all of it was just amazing. It was an exhilarating trip. I felt so alive and had a blast. I didn't get a chance to take too many photos as I was really engrossed in the moment, but it was just magical. We stayed for roughly 4-5 hours and danced and just enjoyed the atmosphere. </span><br />

I ho and hummed about what to wear to this haven of music, fashion, and debauchery :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Initially I was going for a Karl Lagerfield camo dress with my Jeffrey Campbell Marsha Rain Boots (otk wellies) and a cheapy black hooded rain jacket</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was going to be a simple, urban camo outfit, no fuss and really just something comfy but I thought slightly fashionable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was all set until I went shopping with a friend who I'm going to Glastonbury with as well and I made the "mistake" of walking into All Saints.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Needless to say that I left a few pennies in there (money from my cruise fund, oops) and the All Saints dress kicked the Karl Lagerfeld's dress back into my closet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The All Saint Amei dress in black is what I'll be rocking at Glastonbury. I love the drapery of it and it's softer than the camo dress despite being black. I love black, and although this may not be the typical Glastonbury outfit, I have to be true to myself. I've never been and never will be one for flourescent clothes with daisies in my hair :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My photos are a bit overexposed and the photos didn't come out exactly as I wanted them too, but they are just absolutely amazing water decals that were very easy to use and the end result was fabulous.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The water decals are from a company called Artmaze and they 15 water decals.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What I like about these is that there is no messing about like there is with stamping and because they are not stickers they actually don't raise from the surface and you actually have a few seconds after you place it on your nails to move it around if you wanted too. I thought they were so easy to use and I really enjoyed them. I think I'm a little addicted to water decals now.</span></div>

There is such an appeal and I know that I'm not the only one that feels this way :) So when Born Pretty Store contacted me to review some products, I definitely knew that one of the products that I wanted to review was their Chanel Iphone cases. You get a choice of many different colours, but Holiday by Chanel happens to be one of my favourite colours of ALL time, so I was really happy to see that it was one of their options. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The case arrived and I immediately ripped open the package and put it on my phone. It fit perfectly! The case is very high gloss and is bound to get people's attention. I just happen to love Chanel so something about having this as my phone case is very fun and quirky.</span><br />

Sure it's the exact same colour and my photos made it look a little more red than it is, but who cares...it's a HUGE Chanel Nail Polish bottle - How Fierce is that?!?!?!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Overall the case is very sturdy. Even my DH commented on what a good case it was because of how sturdy the plastic was. I told him that it's a huge Chanel bottle and he just shook his head at me (men, they just don't get it sometimes)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The case is also washable as it has a high gloss protectant on top.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They have a variety of colours to choose from, so check it out <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/case-cover-iphone44s5-candy-color-nail-polish-design-p-5730.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love it so much and big thanks to Born pretty for kindly sending this to me for review. I'm really pleased with this case and deciding which colour to buy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This case is $8.39 (with free worldwide shipping), but if you use the code "SUEG10" you can save 10% :)</span></span><br />
