<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first thing I noticed was the amazing packaging. The tube sits soft and comfortably in the palm of your hand and sports the cutest little metallic green leaf wand cap. It definitely doesn't look like your average tube of black lash gooey stuff. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div style="line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second I whipped out the applicator I knew it was going to be great for precision lashes and definition. The brush has very short and dense bristles that comb out your lashes and separate without clumping. In my opinion this makes it a great every day mascara for swipe and go definition in a snap.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The formula is excellent, it doesn't flake or clump and it stays on throughout a 14 hour day with ease, but it's not the mascara I'd turn to for a glamorous night out.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Their Natural Origins Mascara has the highest level of pure ingredients wrapped around a 100% recyclable Eco brush, is 100% free of harsh chemicals, synthetic preservatives, and </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">parabens</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, and boasts clump, smudge, and flake free lashes.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, Physician's Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Mascara is a great option for fuss free daily wear and separated lashes.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>PACKAGING</b> – The concealer comes in a small glass jar which I find pretty cute but not necessarily the most hygienic although I do understand the reasoning behind it since the product is thick and creamy.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/m/mm7CYQ2hHcB5ejXJkwwq5xw/140.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/m/mm7CYQ2hHcB5ejXJkwwq5xw/140.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>TEXTURE & APPLICATION </b>– This stuff is thick, which was expected for a concealer that is claimed to be full coverage. I first applied it with my fingers by dabbing it into my skin but since I wasn't too happy with the coverage it gave, I decided to try it with a blending brush and I absolutely love it! The application is pretty easy because the consistency is creamy and blends in easily.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<b style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PIGMENTATION & WEAR</b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">– I wouldn’t necessarily consider it full coverage. I found it did an OK job at best when I applied it with my finger but after using it with a brush, I love the coverage this concealer gives! I tried using this stuff under my eyes and found it too cakey and dry so it accentuated any fine lines I had in the area. I can see the concealer being cakey if you apply too much so make sure you blend, blend, blend!</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rHUzMXWBV8w/UFn_SmDSR1I/AAAAAAAAAzA/HcDqALBXLOI/s1600/SAM_5053.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rHUzMXWBV8w/UFn_SmDSR1I/AAAAAAAAAzA/HcDqALBXLOI/s320/SAM_5053.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All in all, I really like this stuff to cover any imperfections on my face and the price seriously can't be beat for a full coverage concealer. I believe that there are better concealers that can work for both the under eye and rest of the face but it all depends on what you're looking for. I personally don't mind using 2 products (mainly because I like a lighter shade under my eyes than to cover imperfections) so I definitely will be reaching for this concealer often.</div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo - Retails for about $5-$7. These are absolutely amazing products and because these work so well. </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love Barely Branded because it makes for an excellent all around base color for shimmery eyeshadow days!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this colour and would highly recommend it for girls who love neutrals or if you're just seeking out a good eyeshadow primer in general - this product works great as both! </div>

Hopefully it will be available in the UK soon!</div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">You may not know me but I have an obsession with Rose Gold! This started at the beginning of the year when the Micheal Korrs watches started to pop up left right and centre. I love all things rose gold, especially jewellery. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">One thing I have been searching for since this obsession has started, is a Rose Gold nail polish. I've never seen one in the "drug-store" and any of the others that I've seen were ridiculously expensive.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;" /></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">It applies lovely and evenly, two coats and it's opaque. It's not streaky like I've found some other metallic polishes to be, and lasts a good 4-5 days with a topcoat before the tips start to wear! </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's significantly thinner than the Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion. However, it lasts just as long and does its job well at priming, helping colours show more and preventing shadow creasing all day. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Baby Lips have finally been released in the UK after what seems like ages in the US. I found this one in Superdrug the other day and I was straight off to the check-out without a second thought.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are nothing more than tinted lip balms with sweet fruity scents. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to go for the shade</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Pink Punch'</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">as after looking at swatches it seemed to be the most pigmented out of the bunch. And it doesn't disappoint it looks </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">pretty much looks the same colour on my lips as it does in the bullet. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can apply it lightly for a really sheer wash of colour but you can also build it up until it's almost opaque. It smells so yummy I could eat it! I love sweet, fruity scents so for me, this is so perfect :)</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> In terms of moisturising it isn't the best balm I've ever tried but it does feel nice and comfortable on the lips plus the tint eliminates the need to apply lippy. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As much as I love it I'm not sure I would pick up any of the other shades but would really recommend 'Pink Punch' if you're looking for a balm with real colour pay off. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They claim to last for 8 hours, I wouldn't quite agree with that but they definitely last for at least 4-5 hours. They also contain SPF 20 which is a nice bonus.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">YOU NEED THIS! If you haven't found one yet in Boots/Superdrug, keep searching they are worth it! Especially since they are only £2.99!</span></div>

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">Much like the other products by Revlon these little lip wonders come packaged complete with the quilted design on the plastic outer sleeves, which gives a slight high-end feel.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each shades packaging matches the shade inside, and I do like a bit of colour coordination!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my opinion the casing is pretty, practical and sturdy which is all I can ask for.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://forsmartchicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_2882.jpg" width="284" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Revlon Peach Parfait Lip Butter is a warm peach almost coral shade that is not as well pigmented as it could be but its easy to wear as it is a suit all type of skin tone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In terms of dupes it reminds me most of Nars Orgasm</span><span style="position: absolute;"></span><span style="position: absolute;"></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> which it is very similar to, it also shares the same golden shimmer due to the tiny gold glitter particles. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are also similar to Mac Cremesheen lipsticks</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> as they feel and wear very similar on my lips, obviously each one of us will have different results but this is what they remind me of.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The formula of these is something else,</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> this shade is well pigmented and glides on very much like a traditional lip balm. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yet it has much more colour pay off in comparison to a standard tinted lip balm. It gives a semi-opaque coverage of colour with a light glossy finish, they are very moisturising and comfortable to wear.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found this to wear around 1-2 hours so its not exactly long lasting.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Heaven and Earth palette contains 12 shadows. They are all shimmery which is not great for me because I prefer to matte shades. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">All the shadows are neutral which makes this a fantastic daytime product, but the darker shades are great for evening make up. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">The shadows are very similar so blend really well together for natural/nude eye looks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">As a fan of subtle eye 'looks', this is brilliant for me. The shades are nudes and natural browns that allow me to experiment without looking like I've fallen face first into my makeup bag. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">The shadows have a slight shimmer to them and are very pigmented considering the low price.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I find that all the shadows are well pigmented and blend easily but you do get a fair bit of fall out </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">with them so I'd recommend to do eyes first and base makeup last. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think this palette is great for £4. It has well pigmented shadows and is a great neutral palette. The issues with fall out aren't too bad but I don't find the packaging to be good and it is really stiff to open but for the price I can't really complain. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've had High Beam from Benefit for quite some time but have recently re-discovered it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: justify;">High Beam is a liquid </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: justify;">creamy pinkish tint </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: justify;">that can be used anywhere on the face that you might want to highlight. The packaging recommends putting it on the cheekbones, brow bone, and/or bridge of nose. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The product comes in a glass jar with a brush applicator similar to a bottle of nail polish. Personally, I would have preferred a squeeze type packaging.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I apply this product using the brush to put about 4 small dots on the upper part of my cheekbones after other makeup is completed. I simply pat it in with my fingers or use a brush to blend if you prefer. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">This mascara is jet black that does an amazing job of thickening your lashes without clumping or drying too fast before you apply a second coat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">I wouldn’t say it does much for the length however if you felt you needed more volume you could apply a lengthening mascara on first then this afterwards. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It claims to give a super volume and I will say that whilst wearing this mascara three people asked what mascara I use! It must be doing something right.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s easy to get off after a long day, which is great as I’m very low maintenance when it comes to a beauty regime. I want something that goes on easily, does the job, and comes off with little effort. In addition, it doesn’t smudge or come off my eyes in the day – perfect!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

It's just a smooth, hydrating, clear lip balm which has a hint of mango to it. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is my favourite eyeliner ever. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like it's name suggests, the liner really does smoulder and is great for a smokey eye look. </span></div>

This pencil is great because it's so soft and easy to apply and it's even waterproof, so you don't have to worry about it smudging. Although, it is really hard to remove with a wipe, so you'll have to use some make-up remover at hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best bit about the eyeliner is the fact it comes with a sharpener on the end! I never seem to have one at hand so having it attached to the actual pencil lid is so handy :)</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">It has fantastic colour payoff and lasts so long, </span><span style="line-height: normal; text-align: start;">the texture is soft and smooth and glides on to the skin so easily. I love how heavily pigmented it is. I definitely recommend this product.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am the type of person who buys a couple of mascaras, pick my favourite and wear it non stop until I find a replacement that I love even more.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I3CLdswQi3s/Td2RAUO1LrI/AAAAAAAABIQ/Lv0Gwq0PCYQ/revlon%252520grow%252520luscious%252520mascara.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444;"><img border="0" height="312" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I3CLdswQi3s/Td2RAUO1LrI/AAAAAAAABIQ/Lv0Gwq0PCYQ/revlon%252520grow%252520luscious%252520mascara.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is probably my one of my favourite beauty products and I’d gladly forgo other eye products (like eyeliner, etc.) as long as my mascara was perfectly applied. Ideally, mascara gives you fuller, longer lashes and a better defined overall eye shape and i find this fits the bill.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did get it for it’s promise to “grow” my lashes. I have noticed a tiny amount of growth from my originally small eyelashes, but I have been using this mascara for over 6 months, so you would have to be patient with it. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The brush is massiveee! This is both good and bad. Good because it’s quick to apply….bad because it can be a bit messy. So I have to be careful to avoid getting little smudges of mascara on my eyelids.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">This product has become my holy grail of moisturisers. For about a fiver, this little gem has been my daily skin saviour. Of course, it's not the absolute best of the best. There are high end products which are going to be ten times better, but like I said, it costs a fiver! Five pounds!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">It leaves my skin looking clear and moisturised. It doesn’t clog up my pores and neither does it leave me with dry patches. The </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75;">formula is light and non-greasy so it l</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75;">eaves no greasy layer on the surface. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75;">I would say it is suitable for</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 28px;"> all skin types because even though it is specifically for dry/normal/combination skin, I have oily skin and I love it! </span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 28px;">Personally,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 28px;"> I massage it in, in the evening because I prefer not to use a moisturiser before I apply my make-up because I don' t like the way all moisturisers make my foundation feel on my face.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 28px;">So if you're looking for a new moisturiser, I would highly recommend this!</span></div>

</div>
<div class="" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 21px;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clean & Clear claim this face wash is a unique gel cleanser with Vitamin C and Ginseng which wakes you up with a fresh citrus scent while soft bursting beads burst with energy and vitamins, leaving your skin feeling clean, energised and ready to face the day.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 21px;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first morning I tried it I was completely amazed! It really does make you feel awake, refreshed and gets you going for the day ahead if you have to get up early and you feel tired this really does help! </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/luuux-original-files/bookmarklet_uploaded/luuux_products_005.JPG" width="240" /></span></div>
<div class="" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Away from the awakening side, it is really good at cleaning your skin and is great for oily skin which I have. It also gets rid of the dirt quite well but I would use a different face wash at night for makeup and to get rid of any dirt that had built up throughout the day.</span></div>
<div class="" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bursting beads burst as you massage it in and feels quite relaxing. However you don't always get a lot of the beads when you pump it out of the bottle. The cleanser itself comes out as a clear gel with a few of the beads mixed in. It foams up really well which means you don't need a lot.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall I really like this product and would recommend it to anyone who wants a good cleanser to wake them up in the morning and at the same time clean their face well but again I wouldn't use this at night as it isn't a deep cleaning cleanser.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">It's a fairly simple product. You apply it to freshly painted nails, and it speeds up the drying process. Whilst providing a protect shield against chipping it also adds an extra layer of gloss. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">When I am wearing this, I really have noticed a difference. My nail polish stays put a lot longer (2-3 days) and my manicures do look a lot more shiny, which I love. Although I can't say my nail polish dries a great deal quicker.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">For £5.99 this little dude won't break the bank and if you were looking for a new top coat or a product to make you nails look that little bit better, I would happily recommend it. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Not a very in depth review I know, bit let's face it, if you aren't wearing a topcoat and get frustrated when your nail polish chips on the day you've painted your nails, I would definitely invest in this.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">This is</span><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"> a cream whipped blush that is designed to leave your skin with a soft, natural colour.</span><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"> Its great for giving a soft, natural flush of colour, it also contains a slight shimmer that gives cheeks a lovely sheen and a beautiful dewy finish. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://beautifulsnow.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/img_4257.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-518" height="213" src="http://beautifulsnow.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/img_4257.jpg?w=640&h=426" style="background-color: transparent; border: none; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 12px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_4257" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The packaging is very nice and doesn’t look cheap. The lid is the same colour as the blush which makes it easier to find the colour you desire when you have more than one of these blushes. The glass container in which the product is in is quite deep so and it is also fragrance free.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://beautifulsnow.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/img_4258.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-519" height="213" src="http://beautifulsnow.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/img_4258.jpg?w=640&h=426" style="background-color: transparent; border: none; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 12px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_4258" width="320" /></a></span><br />
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://beautifulsnow.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/img_4258.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The consistency is very soft. I applied it with my fingers and you can blend it very well. It kind of feels a bit powdery and not creamy in the sense that it looks greasy or so. When you have applied it, it does’t shine or anything it stays matte. You have to use more coats to get a nice finish as it sets itself into the skin. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can definitely recommend you the Maybelline Dream Touch Blush! It has a good pigmentation, it’s easy to apply and has a great consistency. It lasts a long time therefore is great value for money.</span></div>

Personally, I wouldn’t use this as a bronzer but as a highlighter instead
because the colours are so bright.</span></div>

one is the shade on the top left which is a golden toned bronzer/highlighter; next to it is the colour on the upper right, which is a peachy shimmer colour with gold undertones; followed by the pearl shade with silver sparkles; and lastly, a golden pinky colour with gold shimmers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been loving this recently! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px currentColor; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.7em; margin-top: -0.1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would describe it as a sheer ballerina pink finishing powder with a subtle shimmer, and it takes your complexion from dull to radiant in an instant! Perfect for a little perk throughout the day or to brighten if your have dull skin. There is also a little included which I prefer not to use.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Benefit says: Dust on our soft, pink, perk-me-up powder for instant radiance and a youthful appearance. Its the perfect shade of pink that brightens everyone's complexion.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I completely agree!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dandelion</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> simply gives me a "wake up face" in the morning, which will be turn a little bit oily in 2-3 hours. Since I have extremely oily skin.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I never put too much attention to Dandelion's scent, it's very soft like baby powder, but not disturbing. You can't smell it once it applied on your face.</span></div>
</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recommend this to everyone as it can work well on everyones skin tone/type.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can use it in many ways. You can stroke it across your face as a finishing powder, you can use it for touch ups, you can use it alone for a pretty flushed look, and you can use it over your blush to tone it down. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After trying a few lip stains, I decided I wanted one a little less drying. So after hearing these babies have been hailed as dupes for YSL Glossy Stains, I've been keeping a beady eye out for their arrival in the UK. Eventually, I purchased </span></span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">this little lip product in shade 102 Romy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> It is described as a
pretty pink tone with some coral hues and subtle shimmer. I would define Romy as a wearable shade during the day. However, if it’s not your ideal pop of colour
then there are six other shades to choose
from.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The applicator is a unique and soft wand which easily bends and moves with the contour of your lips so you can apply precisely. </span></span><br />
<br />

application, my lips felt cooled and coated with what felt like a gloss
however, its quick-drying properties means that within seconds the wet feeling
transformed into a matte feeling whilst maintaining its intense
colour AND long-lasting shine. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">L’Oréal have certainly delivered the
goods and provided us with an excellent lip product which delivers on its
promise.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought it was about time I
post a review on this, since I use this everyday and it's a really good budget
buy from Rimmel.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The powder is
packaged in a flat pot with a clear lid. It is fairly travel friendly however sometimes the lid can come off unexpectedly but
this is mainly on my dressing table anyway, so it's not a problem for me!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

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

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I usually apply this with my MAC 150, because I find it works really well just lightly dusted all over my face I don't want shine because I'm not a fan of the dewy look on me. I have the shade Sandstorm. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It blends out really well over my foundation/BB cream, and I use it more liberally on my nose, chin and forehead. I then blend it out to seal in my base make up. It claims to minimise pores, which I actually think it does. My skin definitely looks a little more airbrushed after I've used it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It does a great job of covering up shine and keeping my make up in place all day. In terms of lasting power, it does last for 5 hours, and then the shine slowly starts to come back.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would really recommend this powder if you have oily skin or just want to tone down the shine of your foundation. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always found liquid eyeliner hard to apply so I thought I would give this gel eye liner a go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This gel eyeliner that comes in a glass pot with a screw-on lid. Each glass pot of gel eyeliner comes with a small, flat bristled brush for lining. Personally, I didn't find the brush the right kind to line with but I prefer to use my Mac 210, but it’s a nice little bonus.</span><br />
<img height="210" id="irc_mi" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7216/6862611846_9b725ff4f3_z.jpg" style="margin-top: 40px;" width="400" /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found it had a rich black pigment–so I was quite surprised at how well it translated onto the lid. I applied it to my upper lash line, and it was smooth and easy to apply. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They seem to dry and set without much of a fuss, but they don’t dry instantly, so you may have to wait a few seconds before you close your eyes shut to avoid any transfer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The packaging has a surprisingly “high-end” feel for Maybelline — they look and feel much like Mac Fluidlines.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I think they’re definitely worth picking up if you’re in the market for an affordable gel eyeliner. Also, a little goes a long way with this little pot. have read other reviews on this and they all say that it doesnt dry out easily- just remember to keep the lid screwed on tighly!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">A while ago, I watched a YouTube video featuring Pixi2woo- Tanya Burr. She mentioned this and I have wanted to try it ever since. I finally got my hands on it and so far I'm loving it!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Sunny is packaged in
bronze plastic cosmetic packaging, and comes with a mirror in the lid and a round
applicator sponge. I'm not a fan of the packaging, as mine has difficulty closing,
and overall feels like it could break somewhat easily. However, I love the sun
imprint in the powder itself... perfect for a bronzer!<br /><br />I would describe
Sunny as a light-medium, matte bronzing shade. It is certainly warm (which most
bronzers are), but isn't orange at all on my skin.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" closure_uid_703579374="3" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg3lDGvDJOUWQ-uGBirSJRuo5CNqFbmIMfOKCWkNId_NAWxM9qmXrzy4L8ltYfkRlcX74l2jzx4U2NZ36ezBtME5ud03RsXKLruiN9rLzvhjNpN4Ck_y72jkBpzUtJ6Ya4XMDvv3NjKKE/s400/IMG_3794.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I was really surprised by the
formulation of this powder. It is nicely pigmented, blends well, and has no
crumbling in the pan. I've been using the Real Techniques contour brush (which you can find in the core collection, available in boots) to apply this and it works
wonderfully!<br /><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">NYC Sunny bronzer
retails for roughly £3, and considering its quality, this is a steal. I now get
why everyone raves about it! The low price tag is definitely not reflective of
the actual product, however the packaging could definitely be improved! I think
this bronzer would work best on lighter complexions, though it is buildable.</span></div>
