Curiosity got the better of me - I clicked through, and saw a whole load of videos apparently made by actual customers, using The Straight Brush with fantastic results.<br />
<br />
It was £34 delivered - a bargain, I had thought - if it can produce results like those I had seen in the videos... so I purchased it. I have very thick, long hair... so I thought I'd give it a go on video - to see if it <i>really</i> works...<br />

<br />
I am back from Paradise! Hawaii was absolutely beautiful - I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. We did a little detour to Paris on the way - then on to Big Island where we stayed in the most amazing hotel (Hilton Waikoloa Village) - the grounds were incredible, and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. While we were there we swam with dolphins, and went to Mauna Kea and saw what felt like every single star in the universe from above the clouds - unforgettable memories.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From there we went to Maui where we stayed in the Marriott Wailea - unfortunately it rained for 99% of the time we were on the island, but we did a little shopping and did The Road to Hana which is a road trip with over 600 turns in it, along the most lush scenery. You can stop to look at waterfalls, hike, see ocean pools and pieces of nature that you don't see elsewhere. A luau is a traditional Hawaiian feast with a hula dance and you eat traditional foods - we did that there too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our last stop was Oahu where we stayed in Honolulu which was a completely different pace of life. Waikiki had the hustle and bustle of a city, while being on a tropical beach - there were all kinds of shops there from Hermes to The Cheesecake Factory. We certainly took advantage of all the American eateries, although now my body has got used to having a short stack of pancakes for breakfast every morning and is crying out at me when I'm feeding it granola and yoghurt. Around the edges of the island are gorgeous white sand turquoise water beaches, so we made the most of those, as well as doing a bit of snorkelling, kayaking and visiting many a bar!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We documented the trip in a little (well, fairly long actually, but we were gone for almost 3 weeks so I think I have done well to get it to around half an hours' worth of footage!) vlog - so if you are planning a trip to Hawaii and want to see some of what's there to add to your itinerary, have a watch. If you just want to see what it was like, have a watch. If you're feeling nosey, have a watch. If you're bored, have a watch.... you get the idea. </div>

Jo Malone London has had a bit of a transformation, thanks to the legendary stylist that is Judy Blame. He is responsible for pieces giving the 'Look' to the likes of Duran Duran, Boy George and Kylie Minogue... and now Jo Malone Regent Street!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of Judy's prominent pieces in his fashion work, are buttons - where the theme is carried into the store makeover, which will feature in the Regent Street boutique for the month of June. When customers purchase a 100ml Cologne of their choice, they are given the opportunity to customise their bottle with a sticker sheet designed by the man himself. Inspired by the pearly Kings and Queens, button stickers are given in the shapes of an anchor (for hope), and a heart (for charity). The cologne is then presented in an iconic Judy Blame keepsake box, tied together with a post-punk pin. </div>

<div>
I had the pleasure of meeting Judy in the store yesterday, where I felt under immense pressure to use every single sticker on my sheet.... which I succeeded in doing. There's something strangely therapeutic involved in stickering when there are no children around! </div>

I have tried so many different things - some which I think have worked, only to find that it was a very short term solution. I have been on Roaccutane in the past, but a very low dose, so I decided to see if it was an option again. I documented my journey through daily vlogs, which I found incredible useful to watch when I was on Roaccutane the first time round. I hope these may help someone too.<br />
<br />
Going to the hospital to see if I could go back onto Roaccutane and seeing what my course would be if so:<br />

Jo Loves Shot Candle (TM) Studio is the first, of I'm sure to be of many, studios owned by Jo Malone where customers can go, and create their very own, candle, with help from the wonderful staff who have all be trained personally by Jo. They may even be lucky enough to meet Actual Jo, who spends a lot of her time there.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
When I visited the Elizabeth Street store it had only been open for 4 days, and already was stirring up a storm - items going out of stock, a hen party, and a constant flow of customers. The story that goes alongside it, makes it all the more magical - Jo's first ever job in a florist was in the very same building that is now her studio... 50 years later, on her birthday, her husband presented her with the keys, and it was then that she became a 'shopkeeper' - and a bloody good shop it is too!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The whole of the Jo Loves range can be found at the front of the shop, as well as a customer experience of '<a href="http://www.joloves.com/location/" target="_blank">Fragrance Tapas</a>' which I am definitely going back to try... then the room to the back is where the Shot Candles are created.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After seeing people customising their own Pop Tarts in New York, Jo was inspired and decided to make a customisable candle - giving you the choice of how you want something to smell, without taking away any quality - resulting in a product unique to you. The Shot Candle is made up of two parts - a base, which sits in the bottom and up the edges of the glass jar... then the shot which is the shape of a (rather large!) shot glass. You choose your fragrance of each, and they burn and meld at different rates so your candle will always smell different. Sometimes it'll smell of the Shot fragrance, sometimes of the Base, sometimes of the both - and other times one will be stronger than the other.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jo described how, to her, scents are like memories - so each scent will trigger off a memory for her - Tahitian Gardenia, for instance (which is one of the base smells), takes her back to a distinct memory walking down a beach. Her philosophy is that memories should be created from fragrance - like a photo album... and I love that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The other base scents to choose from are Charcoalled Lemons, which is what I went for - a sweet, carameley, fresh citrus smell which is honestly, so good I wanted to lick it. Mint Mojito which smells deliciously summery, and Fig Trees which was a definite second favourite for me - such a rich, beautiful fragrance.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The shots. Ohhhhhh the shots! Wow. Yum.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Salted Caramel. Do I need to say any more!? She managed to get it just right - just like salted caramel, but without the sicklyness that sometimes comes from sweet scents. Mango - just like the best, ripest, juiciest mango you have ever picked. Lemongrass - reminiscent of lemon sherbet, so clean and fresh and good enough to eat. Petitgrain - a clean, floral, citrus, summery smell (and also, one of the most popular among customers). I had a really tough time choosing my shot - but in the end I went with Mango. I don't even like mangos particularly, but I have never smelt a mango better than this in my life.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6CmcIaYcfXZ2X3AlA6wJDLgkQi9PW6A16NXQYCcUPm2DVihuhHsOiurhdZs_ZWnbYwTmEprB4Q5kFfY8FRXB1NBBowaaa5Qs1ESLnH3lSLB8ay0FNAlMiDikGXcRN1CdsfiCGUQ4aOAA/s1600/jo+loves+creating+shot+candles.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6CmcIaYcfXZ2X3AlA6wJDLgkQi9PW6A16NXQYCcUPm2DVihuhHsOiurhdZs_ZWnbYwTmEprB4Q5kFfY8FRXB1NBBowaaa5Qs1ESLnH3lSLB8ay0FNAlMiDikGXcRN1CdsfiCGUQ4aOAA/s640/jo+loves+creating+shot+candles.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The top of the base is then warmed up with a mini blow torch, the shot is popped on top, and you, personally, walk your fingers around the top to mould the two pieces together. The gorgeous white jar is then placed in a white box along with Jo Loves matches and a card reminding you of your fragrances, then sealed with a red bow. The thought gone into each part of the creation process is amazing. Once your box is bagged and ribboned up, you 'paint' your fragrance onto a piece of Jo Loves card (which you and your Jo Malone consultant both sign) - so you can smell what you've created all the way home. </div>
<div>

To kick it off, I've dipped my toe into the water with a video tutorial.<br />

I work for Charlotte Tilbury - and have the pleasure of working with Sergio, one of the Lead Makeup Artists at Selfridges London. For this video, he created the Golden Goddess look on me - and we get to hear some of his tips and tricks on the way too...<br />

Those that know me know I am a Double Wear wearer, but the PurMinerals Disappearing Act Concealer with the 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup (in Shade Golden Medium) over the top worked a dream. The foundation buffed into the skin easily, great coverage, and fab staying power. I am definitely going to be adding this one to my regular makeup bag.</div>

There is a good range of colours in the palette - nice warm, rich, earthy tones with a good mix of matt and shimmer. Be sure to check out Zoe and Laura's posts (mentioned above) to see some alternative ways of using this palette.</div>

The look I was challenged to recreate was pretty full-on, eye-wise. To ensure I got a strong, punchy colour, I used a wet brush to pick up Jupiter, then packed the colour on all over my lid, before blending it out at the edges using Majesty on a fluffy brush. I added some Jupiter under my eyes with a dry smudger brush, before finishing with a slick of Big Look Mascara on curled lashes.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I first heard of Babyfoot in a magazine, I think Allure - telling me that it was a product which makes your feet peel, and you are left with feet like a baby's. I was so intrigued that I had to check it out for myself. <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/BabyFoot-Deep-Exfoliation-Feet-peel/dp/B00461F4PA" target="_blank">Amazon</a> sells it over here, but always one for a bargain, I bought mine from China via eBay for £3 or something silly. When it arrived the packaging wasn't the same, so I'm guessing that this one is an imitation, but because I don't speak Chinese (if that's the language that's written on the box!) I can't tell for sure!</div>

Due to my language downfalls, I had to google the instructions for actual Babyfoot, which I followed for this. Inside the box is two plastic sock-type things which have a liquid in the bottom which I'm guessing is some kind of acid. You put one foot in each, seal them with the sticky tabs provided, slip some socks on and leave them on for 3 hours. It was hard to stay stationary for such a long time - walking proved... squelchy... although not impossible! After the 3 hours I removed the socks, gave my feet a rinse, and waited for the magic to happen.<br />

The next morning, the soles of my feet felt really tight - as if the top layer of skin had lifted off and was going hard and pulling... but as the week went on and nothing happened, I assumed nothing was going to happen and I'd bought a dud. Then this happened....</div>

This was just the start. This continued for about 10 days - great timing huh!? My feet looked absolutely gross in sandals, and I had to buy little tights-like socks to wear with pumps which wasn't ideal considering it started just as the London heatwave did! Maybe it was naive of me, but I hadn't anticipated just how much peeling there would be! I could grab at a peeling bit and the skin would come off in a big sheet! 10 days after the initial peeling started, I started to get desperate for it to all be over and I pulled off everything that I could, then washed and scrubbed my feet with a pumice stone - I needed to be wearing sandals again!<br />

Sorry, I realise this is absolutely vile!<br />
<br />
Even now, 3 weeks after I first used Babyfoot, there is still some skin to come off that clearly isn't ready yet... I can tell because of how tanned my feet were before! Every area of skin has been affected - from in between and the tops of my toes to the sides of my nails, the heel, top of the foot - alllll of it! And my skin is very soft and lovely. Although it's a strange experience, that everyone else around me had to suffer with by looking at my peeling feet, I would definitely do it again - although next time not in the middle of summer!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had never attempted making a single cocktail before, so I was very excited to be turning my hand to the other side of the bar! <a href="http://www.mixologyevents.co.uk/" target="_blank">Mixology</a> is a hidden gem... it looks like a standard office door from the outside, but the other side of the door reveals a bar for the 'teacher', and three other bars set up for the 'students', filled with everything you could possibly want for a cocktail - bottles upon bottles of alcohol, mixers and garnish.... and for this event, lots and lots of chocolate!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Too Faced uses cocoa powder in some of its products (HELLO CHOCOLATE BAR PALETTE!) - which give off a gorgeous aroma, hence the theme of the event (plus the sex part is thanks to their new mascara - Better Than Sex!), so we were making chocolate cocktails all evening. There was a small group of bloggers who split into teams of three - I was with the lovely Laura of <a href="http://lauraloubeauty.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">LauraLouMakeup</a> and<a href="http://www.zoenewlove.com/" target="_blank"> Zoe Newlove</a> and together we were an awesome trio!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In total, our mixologist taught us how to make four different chocolate based cocktails -from a chocolate, tequilla and chilli tipple, to, my favourite of the evening - the white russian. At the end of the event each team was challenged to create their own chocolate based creation - we came up with It's Not Terry's - It's Mine, a chocolate orange cocktail which was gorgeous even if I do say so myself... and we went on to win!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We left a little wobbly after so many different concoctions, and loaded with Too Faced Goodies - reviews will be coming soon - if anyone would desperately like a review and swatches of anything in particular first, please let me know!</div>

Initially, the range will consist of nail polish - and we had hints that there may be other products to come later down the line, although it was all very hush hush!<br />
<br />
Christian Louboutin is most famously known for the trademark red sole of the shoes he creates. The idea of the red sole actually came about because of red nail polish - his assistant was painting her nails red at her desk, and, thinking something had been missing from the prototype of the shoe he'd designed, he grabbed it from her and began painting the sole of his shoe, and love the results. He says "The red sole was born from red nail polish. I am giving back to nails what the shoe took from the nails many years ago."<br />
<br />
The nail polishes, are rather pricey at £36 a bottle, but being Louboutin, you would expect that. You'd also expect that it would be a gorgeous creation - which is definitely is, both aesthetically and performance-wise. When I first saw the displays of polish at the event, I must admit, my initial thought was 'how the hell do you store that!?', but actually, the bottles have been designed to be a piece of art - to have proudly on display. The glass looks like a precious stone floating in a block of fine crystal, and the handle on the lid is long.... very long, replicating the heel of one of his shoes.<br />
<br />
The first polish to be released went on sale on Thursday, and by Friday had sold out worldwide. It is Rouge Louboutin - the signature red colour of the sole of the shoe, with a longer handle than the other shades set to come later in the year. This handle is the exact same height as the Ballerina Ultima shoe designed by Christian. The other difference with this bottle is that it has an ombre black bottom to the bottle, the idea being that people instantly think of the shoe.<br />

There were manicurists on hand to show us exactly what it looks like on the nails. I asked the lovely lady doing mine how it was to hold with a handle that size - she said it felt like she was writing, and was really easy to paint with. The colour was so rich and opaque after just one coat, and extremely glossy too. Traditional laquer (used on the shoes) is 20 layers of paint - Christian Louboutin wanted to create the same effect in just two coats, and I think he's managed it.<br />

The rest of the nail polish range will launch in September and is an array of colours that were inspired by fashion. Christian and his team worked with leather samples to create the perfect colour palette then reworked them to compliment different skin tones. They all have the names of one of his shoes.</div>

These are The Noirs - made up of blacks, and rich, dark, intense shades topped with a gunmetal cap.</div>

There will also being a range of shoes, inspired by the Beaute collection which will be coming out - you can see in the bottom corner of the photo above this one the shoes with a nail-like design on them, and in the photo above, a hand print with the signature red polish. Another one I wish my bank balance would allow for!</div>

The polishes are on sale at Christian Louboutin stores and select fashion partners, however they will be found in the shoe section, rather than beauty. You can grab Rouge Louboutin in the UK from<a href="http://eu.christianlouboutin.com/uk_en/nail-lacquer-rouge-louboutin.html" target="_blank"> their website</a> (once it's back in stock!)</div>

They may not have won the show, but they definitely came away as stars, and signed a deal with Syco. I have worked with the boys since they first got together, and have enjoyed every step of their journey.<br />
<br />
Today, their first single, Hopeful, is released - Leondre wrote the lyrics himself after being bullied, and the song has touched so many hearts of children being bullied, to parents - and is really making a difference to peoples lives - I receive so many emails telling me how the song has helped someone stand up to their bully, and it has stopped, or they've told their parents.... I am so proud of what they have both achieved.<br />
<br />
I am so excited to share their music video which I was make up artist on, and a behind the scenes video too where you can see the fun and games we had on the day.<br />

As I write this, they are sitting at number 4 in the iTunes singles chart, and the EP at number 2! On release day! If you would like to download the single, it costs just 99p and is available by clicking <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/hopeful-single/id897729280" target="_blank">here.</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551800023048507317.post-16316949363899304392014-07-16T11:14:00.001+01:002014-07-16T11:14:26.681+01:00New In: Topshop BeautyYesterday I popped along to the beautiful Somerset House to check out what's new in the world of Topshop Beauty.<br />
<br />
For Autumn Winter, Topshop Beauty are going for a jelly formula throughout the collection. The idea came about when Cassie Mystkowski and Hannah Murray got together to start throwing possibilities around. As they sat eating jam on toast - it struck them! The range features a jelly formula Lip Polish (£9), gel formula Nail Polish (£5) and Cheek Gel (£7) in matching shades.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The cheek gel above is Reign - they're designed to be worn under the cheekbone where you naturally flush, to give a really soft and realistic flush of colour to the face.<br />
<br />
Also new from Topshop is the introduction of complexion products in September 2014, which they're calling 'The Face'. The range consists of The Foundation (£16) - a lightweight, medium coverage formula which works with your natural skin tone, so their 5 shades should suit most skin tones. The Airbrush Primer (£12) a silicone based primer to smooth imperfections. The Colour Correcting Primer (£12) a green tinted primer to get rid of redness, but blends down well without leaving a green tinge to the face! It also has anti inflammatory properties to help get rid of redness in the long run. The Concealer Palette (£12) 3 creamy concealers - one acting as a colour correcting concealer, one an under eye concealer and one a blemish concealer - which can all be mixed together to get your desired colour, and a setting powder which is ultra-fine. The Concealer (£10) this looks fabulous - totally buildable without noticing any form of cakeyness, I can't wait until it comes out! Only available in two shades at the moment but these look extremely promising for a natural, lasting coverage.<br />

The Molton Metallics Collection launches in August - taking a nod from the catwalks, but transforming the metallicness into a wearable range of make up - from soft cream blush with a hint of metallic pearl (£7), Metallic Lips (£8), and Metallic Nails (£6). If you're rather scared of metallics, start with the blush... it's the gentlest way to ease yourself in!<br />

My favourite picks are the purple and orange matte lip sticks (Could This Be Love, and Queen Bee) and Falling Fast lipstick (which I'm wearing in the photo) - I just love them all so much, they are totally my colours and cannot WAIT for them to launch so I can get my hands on them!<br />
<br />
The eyeshadows are gorgeous too - the shades are Lunar, Intersellar, Galaxy and Explorer - again, looking forward to purchasing these.<br />

Something else I spotted was the Freckle Pencil (£5) - a long-wearing waxy formula which has two shades of brown swirled together to give you natural looking freckles.<br />

There was also a quick peek at some of their Christmas sets, but more of that nearer the time!<br />

Space NK was a great place to start it off - where the Christmas gifts they have this year are gorgeous. There is something for everyone, from candles, skincare, make up and body ranges - all packed into beautiful collections.<br />
<br />
I realise this will be rather a picture heavy post - but I feel, in this case - the photos need to do the talking!<br />

So... there's your sneek peak at Christmas from Space NK!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551800023048507317.post-26231506811608791512014-07-14T14:56:00.001+01:002014-07-14T14:59:35.977+01:00What's It All About?This weekend I saw the latest video from Colbie Caillat for her single Try... and I welled up. Maybe it was the words, maybe the video, or the sentiment... or maybe I'm just an over-sensitive ball of mush.<br />
<br />
The song is her telling someone that they don't need to try to be anyone other than themselves - don't worry about make up, having your hair done or what you're wearing in order to impress someone. Just be you. The video starts with her and the other women featuring in the video with full hair and make up, and by the end of the video she's shown you her transformation from photo-shopped to barefaced natural beauty. It really touched me to the point I wanted to share it with you guys.<br />

<br />
My life practically revolves around make up - not only is it my career, but my hobby and I love the transformation it can bring to someone; make someone who's feeling rubbish feel beautiful. I personally choose to wear make up for no one but myself. I probably need to learn to be more comfortable in my bare-faced-ness, but make up, to me, gives me confidence and happiness. I certainly don't feel I *have* to put make up on every day, but I choose to, because I want to be a better version of me, and make up does that for me. I love what this video stands for... What are your thoughts on the subject?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551800023048507317.post-13970193066907351042014-07-11T10:30:00.000+01:002014-07-11T10:30:01.019+01:00Tarte Cosmetics Newness<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Tarte is a brand that is fast becoming a favourite of mine - the packaging is to die for, and the products are such great quality with amazing results. The latest batch of loveliness has just hit QVC UK - here are a few things that are on offer.<br />
<br />

<br />
First up is the Amazonian Butter Lipstick Trio in the shades Guava, Lychee and Mulberry. Can we take a moment to appreciate the packaging please? Gorgeous cardboard casing with floral patterns all over them... swoon. Right, the lipsticks! As you may imagine, I don't always bother reading boxes, I just want to get to the product, and that was the case here. My first thought as I tried these on my lips, was just how buttery they were, then I realised they were called Amazonian Butter lipsticks and that yes, they are infused with Amazonia cupaucu and murmuru butters. They are intensely moisturising and hydrating, and feel so comfortable to wear.<br />
<br />
The three are sheer lipsticks, but with enough colour for it to be there, like an insanely pigmented balm. Guava is a reddy-coral with tinfy flecks of golden micro-glitter. You can't see it on the lips, but it adds to the 3d-effect once it's on. Lychee is my absolute favourite - a really easy to wear purpley nude, I just love it, and it will take pride of place in my handbag so I can wear it as much as possible! Mulberry is a deeper, rosy nude that will be great for autumn.<br />

<br />
Next I tried the BB Tinted Treatment 12-hour Primer. This is designed to be used either as a primer to other make up, or as a BB Cream on it's own. It's oil free which is a bonus for me, but doesn't give me enough coverage to wear on it's own - nor is it the kind of finish I like. It claims to be buildable - the top photo is my hand which one layer on, and some more squeezed on. The bottom photo shows my hand with 2 layer on. Although it doesn't work for me as a BB Cream, I am really enjoying using it as a primer - it minimises the appearance of pores, and my foundation glides on top of it. It came with a stippling brush which I am absolutely in love with. The hairs are so short and firm that you can really work your foundation into your face. The bamboo handle and golden metal is a lovely touch too.<br />

<br />
The other brush I have been trying is the Buffy Bamboo Face Powder Brush - another great quality brush, it feels so floppy and soft when you use it to apply powder to the face. It gives a nice even distribution of product so as not to look cakey. I have been using it with the Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder which is also amazing. It's a white loose powder which is so finely milled that it creates a little dust cloud when you close the lid. It leaves your skin with an airbrushed finish, and controls shine without looking powdery. I have extremely oily skin, and my make up lasts a lot longer than usual since I've started using this.<br />

<br />
The theme to the July Birchbox is Sun, Sea & Sand - preparing people for their summer holidays (not me, sob sob!) or a hot English summer. The box, they say, contains samples that will see you through the hottest season.<br />
<br />
So, lets' see what's in the box....<br />
<br />
<u>Weleda - Millet Nourishing Shampoo - 18ml (Full size is 190ml for £8.95)</u><br />
This is a non-lathering shampoo containing organic macadamia nut oil, and extracts of organic millet husks and sage to clean your hair gently, while stopping the hair from becoming dry. I'm happy to try out shampoo samples in my beauty boxes, I just wish they would also include the corresponding conditioner, so you can really give it a go! Other than that, this is a great sample - gentle enough that I can use on the kids too.<br />
<br />
<u>Gilchrist & Soames - English Spa Sea Kelp Mineral Bath - 40ml (Full size is 236ml for £11.25)</u><br />
I always like to try brands I've not used before - and in this case, not heard of! Used as a bubble bath , it really foams up well under hot running water. It can also be used as a shower gel, and is a perfect size to take on holiday without taking up vital shoe-room! It leaves the skin feeling clean and fresh without any dryness or tightness,<br />
<br />
<u>Balance Me - Wonder Eye Cream - 7ml (Full size is 15ml for £20)</u><br />
I have used this cream before - it's a lightweight eye cream, designed to brighten the under-eye area, as well as smoothing away dark shadows and fine lines. It's packed full of natural ingredients, such as Roman chamomille, lemon, cucumber oil, witch hazel, hyaluronic acid, spruce knot, virgin coconut, rosehip and carrot oils, and absorbs quickly into the skin.<br />
<br />
<u>LAQA & CO - Sheer Lip Lube Pencil - Bees Knees - 0.07oz (FULL SIZE! RRP £14)</u><br />
There are two shades being split between the boxes - Bees Knees, the one I have which is a gorgeous pale coral, and Menatour a purpley pink. I love it, and is definitely my favourite thing in the box. It's sheer yet gives just the right amount of colour to the lips. Plus it's really pepperminty and fresh and feels moisturising to wear.<br />
<br />
<u>Whish - Three Little Whishes - Lavender Body Butter 22ml (Full size is 150ml for $24)</u><br />
Whish is another brand I hadn't heard of until now - and with a little investigation I have seen that they are an American brand, which doesn't seem readily available in the UK yet. That makes me want to try it even more, I 'm a sucker for things that are hard to get hold of (then I fall in love with it and can't get hold of it... story of my life!) Aaaaaaaaanyway.... the little tube of body butter comes in a variety of scents, and although this one is lavender, it's not lavender as you might imagine it - it smells modern and delicate and, well, good enough to lick! It sinks in well to the skin and leaves it feeling really supple and gorgeous. Must. check. more. of. the. range.<br />
<br />
and this month's lifestyle extra is<br />
<br />
<u>Ultradex - Oral Spray 9ml (FULL SIZE! RRP £3.65)</u><br />
A little spray to pop in your hand bag for a quick breath-freshen-up on the go! As well as leaving a minty fresh taste, it actually works to kill any harmful bacteria that could be lurking in there!<br />
<br />
All in all, quite a body-orientated box this month, although they all seem like top quality and intriguing products - I definitely want to use them all!<br />

The formula is really hydrating, while giving a long-lasting, intense colour. They are so comfortable to wear, and leave a nice sheen to the lips without being too glossy.<br />
<br />
The new lipsticks are Minx and Cherub in the Nude Coral section, Rosepout and Starkers in the Rosy section, and Tease, Naked and Buff are more Earthy Nudes. I was sent Minx and Starkers to try out - both of which are not colours I would have picked out myself.... I see myself as more of a Tease or Naked kind of girl - both which are pale and neutral(ish!) looking... how I tend to prefer my nudes. I was pleasantly surprised at how the two I was sent turned out!<br />

<br />
Starkers is a true nude - leaning rather brownish on me with a hint of pink. Perfect for the 90s power-lip, or teamed with a smokey eye. A creamy toffee, honey shade.<br />
<br />

<br />
Minx is so far away from anything I would ever choose for myself, but I know I will be wearing this one a lot! A pinky, rusty rose shade that is equally suitable for day or night.<br />

Daniel Busuttil, the Head of Training at Illamasqua - recommends matching your lipstick to your natural nail bed colour, this way it will match the undertones of your skin. He says "If you have a cooler, rosy undertone to your skin, opt for a rosy nude. If your undertones are more golden an earthy nude is right for you. These colours will flatter your natural lip shade as well as your skin tone."<br />
<br />
Glamore Nude Lipsticks are available from 10th July from www.illamasqua.com and from 31st July at Illamasqua counters worldwide costing £18.50 each.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551800023048507317.post-1649178362575036612014-07-01T09:02:00.002+01:002014-07-01T09:02:30.787+01:00Video: Quick Summer Evening Makeup<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well I had to break my tutorial / get ready with me virginity one of these days... so I decided to do my go-to summer evening make up - whenever I post a picture of me with this makeup on, someone asks me to do a tutorial - so here it is!<br />

<br />
I had booked myself in for 55 minutes of Swedish Massage, followed by a 55 minute Decleor Aromaplastie facial.... a real, and much needed treat. The therapy room was dimly lit, with soft, soothing music playing, and my therapist Jane made me feel comfortable and relaxed in her presence.<br />
<br />
Jane, checked what kind of pressure I liked for my massage, to which I responded fairly hard... I do like a nice soothing massage but today I needed someone to get right in there and undo all my knots, rather than wafting a flower over my back. It was pretty painful but in a good way - she kept checking if it was ok for me, and it was - although I couldn't fall asleep to it, it felt like it was definitely doing some good.<br />
<br />
After a good go at my back, Jane moved down to my legs and feet, and that's where it got a lot more relaxing.... who knew a leg massage could be so good!? It was then onto my arms and hands, before getting me to turn over and starting on my chest and scalp.... I was left feeling blissed out, and like I'd just like to be left alone for an hour or two to nap... alas, it was onto the facial.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiakbmte6FDl49ckhUFPT8b7J9IWWNfAddPKKLqD4iIfhU8ci1QhFYJOycJOSucKUnHD10do_MvYjuJxluzDFkubXTZlT-G8hZDc6dO2YYG_-b1d1y_3mR3dCBO5D1sJp968s8SqjaYz3w/s1600/Screenshot+2014-06-25+at+13.55.10.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiakbmte6FDl49ckhUFPT8b7J9IWWNfAddPKKLqD4iIfhU8ci1QhFYJOycJOSucKUnHD10do_MvYjuJxluzDFkubXTZlT-G8hZDc6dO2YYG_-b1d1y_3mR3dCBO5D1sJp968s8SqjaYz3w/s1600/Screenshot+2014-06-25+at+13.55.10.png" height="306" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
We discussed any issues I had with my skin... I told her that I was on Roaccutane last year and still suffering from oily (or dehydrated) skin and the occasional breakout. Jane decided to use the sensitive, Harmonie Calm, range from Decleor for me so as not to aggravate anything.<br />
<br />
To be honest, I was nervous - I haven't had a facial for over 15 years when my Nan bought me a voucher and they squeezed the living daylights out of my face. I always worry I'm going to have a weeks worth of spots after it, and it's going to be an unpleasant experience. I have recently started investing more into my skincare, and I have come to realise that a lot of people I know get facials and don't turn out a spotty mess, so perhaps it would be good for me. I'm glad the massage was before the facial as I was so relaxed that my nerves disappeared.<br />
<br />
After cleansing my face, Jane applied cream exfoliator then a deep exfoliator which felt like it was doing it's job without being harsh. Then it was onto some serum and balm which was a bit of a shoulder massage, then a purifying and oxygenating mask, then a really thick multivitamin mask with Linseed, Sunflower and Wheatgerm. It stimulates and enhances the action of while moisturising and deep cleaning - it sat on my skin for about 10 minutes while Jane massaged my scalp. Normally included in the facial is a hand and arm massage but seeing as I'd just had that, she suggested I had a scalp massage instead. To be honest, the order of all these things is a bit of a blur - as the facial was so relaxing, and what a far cry from my last facial experience. I think I woke myself up by snoring at one point (and I don't even snore!)... *that's* how relaxing it was!<br />
<br />
A Marriott Hotel certainly wasn't the first place I'd think of when looking for a massage or facial - but I'm so glad to have discovered this little treasure on my doorstep.<br />

I was recently sent a rather lovely box from Tarte Cosmetics, asking me to take on their 12 hour challenge. The range of their products they had sent claim to last for 12 hours, and they wanted me to put this to the test.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4T47EGsaebV3vGMwbejQTGtkXSVM7cVBtMUfLAwyaHZy76oDGmoDS4fU6xUDcFc6Tp3WzJY6-kLEdBb_xpelj9-DJDO9g_VKyE9nKAo54GZFCAMN7u5csNmRT2MbUvHJ9dnPBED7JwcY/s1600/tarte+12+hour+survival+box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4T47EGsaebV3vGMwbejQTGtkXSVM7cVBtMUfLAwyaHZy76oDGmoDS4fU6xUDcFc6Tp3WzJY6-kLEdBb_xpelj9-DJDO9g_VKyE9nKAo54GZFCAMN7u5csNmRT2MbUvHJ9dnPBED7JwcY/s1600/tarte+12+hour+survival+box.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The box of goodies couldn't have come at a better time, as later that day I was off to join singing sensation Harvey on tour with Little Mix as his makeup artist. Long days - lots of travelling and busy evenings, surrounded by some super-glamourous people (yes Little Mix, I'm talking about you!) definitely call for good quality, long lasting makeup - so I was eager to give it a go.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirusOma33-r-cthkjP5TZEpD9qr9FoavKgb-_SI37LDoxpaxjGCUWbVblutyEL7adeIW2vFHIuzp5bDLoa_AfmIoHUZLh-3BTLzTLdGVvbZH8EZWGS2EJ8UiFlI9xbCV-xlploAhaZvxw/s1600/tarte+cosmetics+eye+products.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirusOma33-r-cthkjP5TZEpD9qr9FoavKgb-_SI37LDoxpaxjGCUWbVblutyEL7adeIW2vFHIuzp5bDLoa_AfmIoHUZLh-3BTLzTLdGVvbZH8EZWGS2EJ8UiFlI9xbCV-xlploAhaZvxw/s1600/tarte+cosmetics+eye+products.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The first thing that struck me was how gorgeous the packaging is. The Amazonian Clay blush is so well thought out - a mirror in the lid, a striking pattern on the actual product, and then, one quick swoosh, and you can pop the pan out of the palette to add to your Z-palette which can be very useful for space-saving in your kit, or even at home.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcb6Y3cX6xww4kaG6YILD7HB48_8co7ZtnOFDyuyxj0zQjlzUOo82MZ-kEL3WS3Z2AmEykmiczEpRq9SPcygnNyUtaTr5NVyBxvnXsRCarwflKqa-m1DIow7seEWZsSELofL8kdaEKTvs/s1600/tarte+amazonian+clay+flush+blush+magnetic+palette+pan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcb6Y3cX6xww4kaG6YILD7HB48_8co7ZtnOFDyuyxj0zQjlzUOo82MZ-kEL3WS3Z2AmEykmiczEpRq9SPcygnNyUtaTr5NVyBxvnXsRCarwflKqa-m1DIow7seEWZsSELofL8kdaEKTvs/s1600/tarte+amazonian+clay+flush+blush+magnetic+palette+pan.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The colour I received was Flush - a pretty dolly-pink which is really rich in pigment, and true to it's name, gives you a nice healthy looking flush to the cheeks.<br />
<br />
What I loved about the eye products is that they come with a brush, and not a crappy little applicator you want to chuck the minute you first touch it... an actual, amazing, proper brush! The Brow Mousse comes with a double ended bamboo brush which has a spoolie at one end to comb your lashes into place, then an eyebrow brush to distribute the product into it. The brush is thin so if you like to draw a line at the base of your brow, this is the perfect size to do it with for a natural finish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZN6JD1NO-Wk0Bvo5DQb2LtKWrmSBoFgIbruZ-7b9fLogfvCD1ZoPOyowzkiE-ZFpYJAdyTKqHkgU5U4BVf-B9pxlDSWGZEYRuqMfQf62BT6HcQ2kRnJ4FkrzdHj_Qf1SsKIFUlOgh-mo/s1600/tarte+medium+brown+brow+mousse+brush.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZN6JD1NO-Wk0Bvo5DQb2LtKWrmSBoFgIbruZ-7b9fLogfvCD1ZoPOyowzkiE-ZFpYJAdyTKqHkgU5U4BVf-B9pxlDSWGZEYRuqMfQf62BT6HcQ2kRnJ4FkrzdHj_Qf1SsKIFUlOgh-mo/s1600/tarte+medium+brown+brow+mousse+brush.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I tried out the Brow Mousse in Medium Brown, which I think is a little on the dark side for me, but it still works. It was my first experience of working with a brow mousse, and I absolutely love it. In fact, I've worn this at every available opportunity since I first tried it. It's a whipped, airy texture, and leaves your brows looking so much more 'done', without looking un natural.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrVFNpYr32__uAKTGo1QKAzC3PDVqcgRQb_5NCHJgejJ7d3EIuIvo8ZmPN1xhCrKfyJN1Qg22FIKxVFJqeDyNjy60G617FT6eR4LR3JLfXiTc8bnmb1nZyNedmv1YFp8VfGrjsIDyagPo/s1600/tarte+bronze+waterproof+eyeliner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrVFNpYr32__uAKTGo1QKAzC3PDVqcgRQb_5NCHJgejJ7d3EIuIvo8ZmPN1xhCrKfyJN1Qg22FIKxVFJqeDyNjy60G617FT6eR4LR3JLfXiTc8bnmb1nZyNedmv1YFp8VfGrjsIDyagPo/s1600/tarte+bronze+waterproof+eyeliner.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The Waterproof Eyeliner also comes with a double ended brush - one fine brush for using the liner as as standard liner, and another slightly thicker, small domed flat brush for using the liner in a more smokey way, or to apply it all over your lid. The liner feels like a cream product on application, but sets and dries leaving a gorgeous finish. I used the bronze which is a lovely shade just the right amount of metallicness to it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The Lights Camera Lashes mascara is like nothing else I've ever tried. It gives you the blackest, most defined lashes I have ever seen. Full of drama in just one coat - it's amazing. I imagine it would clump if you used it for lots of coats, but I've been doing about 3 coats and it's changed my lashes for the better. I will definitely, definitely be re-buying this!<br />
<br />
So.... as it happens, I ended up travelling overnight up to Blackpool and had about two hours sleep all night. I don't know about you, but when I have minimal sleep, my make up always seems to fall off my face, so this makeup definitely had something else to contend with! Once I had arrived we had a bit of time to kill before the show - so we headed to Blackpool Pleasure Beach. I had made the decision not to go on any rides, but it seems Harvey had other ideas (although The Mouse roller coaster was as scary as I'd go.... that thing is SCARY!). It was a day full of fresh air, giggles and screaming.... and the make up was staying put! We made a quick stop then off to that evenings venue ready for soundcheck and to get him ready....<br />

<br />
The photo on the left was taken at 7am, the photo on the right at 7pm..... apart from reapplying lip gloss, and powdering my face - I didn't need to touch anything else! The eyeliner (which I had worn as a shadow) had creased slightly, but nothing too unsightly. The blush hadn't faded, and my brows and lashes were looking fab (even if I did say so myself!)<br />
<br />
I am completely head over heels in love with some of my new discoveries, and can't wait for the new Tarte show to start on QVC tomorrow so I can see more of their products in action!<br />
