I bought these <a data-mce-href="https://www.limecrime.com/lips/velvetines/velvetines/" href="https://www.limecrime.com/lips/velvetines/velvetines/">liquid lipsticks</a> November, when <a data-mce-href="https://www.limecrime.com" href="https://www.limecrime.com/">Lime Crime</a> had their flash sale on the Venus Palette and thought may as well try out their liquid lipsticks as well. I had been on the hunt for a brown coloured lipstick for a while so gave in, popped one in my basket and left it at that. They turned up pretty quick, around a week after my order was put in. </div>

The consistency of these liquid lipsticks is far more runnier than any liquid lipstick I have ever had, which in a way is slightly better, as it means you use less to get even coats and is easier and smoother to apply. However, you need around 2-3 coats of product to get a good colour pay off, but that isn't something that bothers me too much as I always like to re apply my product to make sure its on and stays on. </div>

Applicator is standard doe foot which you get with most lipglosses or liquid lipsticks which makes it easy to apply on the go and generally easy to apply on the surface of the lip. I do recommend using a lipbrush to neaten the outline of the lips first then fill in the colour with the doe foot just to keep the colour application as neat as possible.</div>

The colours I picked were Shroom and Salem, two very different shades of brown. Salem, described on Lime Crime's website is a "True Brown" and Shroom is a "90s Brown". I've swatched both all over my lips and with half of my natural lip colour showing so you can see how it compares. Both colours have been applied with one single layer.</div>

Shroom as a lot more orange than what I expected it to be as it looks more grey on their website swatch, but I'm glad as it goes more with my complexion and is a good nude colour without making me look too dead. </div>

Salem was more of a reddish brown / burgundy but was close enough to what I was looking for so again, wasn't too bothered. I found this one was slightly harder to apply evenly in one coat as it's a stronger pigment, but I think this is down to the fact I generally have high colour lips.</div>

They generally do last a good 4/5 hours without having to reapply, depending on what you're doing. There can be days however where I can eat my lunch and not have to reapply, but it depends what I'm eating at the time. The good thing about these liquid lipsticks is that they don't flake off and roll up into little irritating dry pieces on your lip after a while like cheaper brands do.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
All in all, I like them and I'll be looking into purchasing more colours. I'd definitely repurchase these two as they are my go to lip colours now and I often wear them without any make up and they won't look over the top. I know they'll stay on well and I know I don't have to keep reapplying.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong><em>(Below are some comparisons to three brands, skip this part if you're not interested.)</em></strong></div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
In comparison to lets say <a data-mce-href="https://www.muastore.co.uk/mua-luxe/velvet-lip-lacquer" href="https://www.muastore.co.uk/mua-luxe/velvet-lip-lacquer">MUA</a> or <a data-mce-href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/makeup/lips/matte-lip/matte-lips.html" href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/makeup/lips/matte-lip/matte-lips.html">Makeup Revolution</a> liquid lipsticks, they're denser in formulation making it harder to blend and apply, because they dry pretty quick, so if you did want to do an ombre lip it would be harder to do it. I also found that the texture was lighter in consistency than MUA / MUR, and didn't dry my lips out as quick.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
In comparison to <a data-mce-href="http://jeffreestarcosmetics.com/collections/velour-liquid-lipstick" href="http://jeffreestarcosmetics.com/collections/velour-liquid-lipstick">Jeffree star's Velour</a> liquid lipstick, consistency again is a lot thinner than his but drying time and feeling / weight felt the same to me, but colour wasn't as strong as Jeffree Star's.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
So it depends on what consistency you like to work with.</div>

I paid $20 at the time for each of them, which I didn't mind as I had the pallet at the time for $19, so it weighed it evenly out. Overall, shipping was $10.95, bringing the total cost to $69.95.</div>

After seeing this online and talking to Global Makeup Artist Amanda in store on one if my visits, I knew I had to try this product. As you know, I've been looking for a day time foundation to just apply quickly or to wear under powder when my skin doesn't need a lot of coverage. To be honest, cheaper brands haven't worked for me because the formula changes too quickly in the bottle or it feels horrible and effects my skin. So with this in mind, I went back to basics, looking at new products from brands I know and use daily.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
This product is water based, so it hydrates skin and combats oil, it has coverage which is buildable and evens out the tone of skin, which is great for when I do need more than just a sheer tint, and products can be applied on top for if I want a matter look. Sounded like the product I've been looking for.</div>

The product ingredients include Green tea, which is an antioxidant, rose water to moisturize the skin, and English chamomile & lavender which soothes the skin. It's also worth mentioning it's water resistant. You can apply with your fingers or a brush, I apply it as I would a foundation. I usually wear this without a primer as it lasts just as long as it would with. I love that this product also has a pump which helps me dispense what I need and stops air getting in the bottle!</div>

Texture wise this product is gel like to the touch and is easily blendable. It doesn't feel oily or greasy, which sometimes some oil free products can feel like. This is super light weight and almost melts into the skin texture. If you're worries about large open pores you may want to use a skin smoothing primer before, but personally it isn't needed because it looks really natural when blended and doesn't really accentuate uneven textures on the skin. </div>

I applied a thin layer again over my cheek where I have scars and pigmentation problems. It's almost evened the whole skin out without me feeling like I need concealer or powder.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">When it dries, it dries to a satin finish. It doesn't feel tacky or chalky, it literally feels like bare skin. It's a texture you'd have to try to actually understand what I mean.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
With regards to it staying on the skin, I'd say a good 5 or 6 hours without needing reapplication. I do find on my oilier days it does tend to slip if I am wearing glasses around my nose and in between my brows, but this is expected. I just usually tap it back in place and it looks okay again.</div>

Basically, in short, yes. You need this product in your life if you want something lightweight, not quite a foundation but will cover more than a tinted moisturiser, and something that will calm your skin. I tried wearing it under a foundation and it works lovely with keeping it hydrated and not making foundation look caked!</div>

The formula on both of these colours are amazing. They dried relatively quick and were chip free for 3 days, with some nails lasting a week without peeling or chipping. While applying the nail polish evened itself out if I had any ridges or bumps in my nails, eliminating the need to have to use more than 3 strokes on the nail. Formulated without without toluene, formaldehyde, DBP, Camphor and formaldehyde resin, the formula is safe to use even if you're pregnant.</div>

I was impressed with how this lipstick didn't bleed or make my lips feel dry. I noticed after around 3 hours the lipstick left a stain on my lips which is always a bonus and helps me not reapply the lipstick often or worry about what colour my lips are. I'd definitely invest in more of these as the texture and pigment are fantastic. These are great if you don't like feeling lipsticks on your lips or want to try a matte lipstick but don't like a dry texture to your lips.</div>

I found out late last night that one of my favourite musicians Brooke Candy is releasing a collection with M.A.C Cosmetics which launches online tomorrow (27/8/2015) , which consists of two lipsticks and a black liquid liner. </div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

I'm literally so excited and will probably get the lipsticks as I have plenty of liners to get through. The lipsticks are both Amplified Creme Lipsticks, Mind Control which is a standard a bright cherry red and Which Witch, which is a deep almost black plum. The Liquid Liner is standard Boot Black, which is a typical black liner. They are very typical MAC mini collection colours but I am dying over the packaging art.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Lipsticks are priced at $17 and Eye Liner priced at $21.</div>

Brooke is set to release another collection, rumoured to be 14 pieces in 2016. I cannot wait to see what she will come out with as I am a huge fan. I'm hoping for more adventurous colours from her, hopefully from her Das Me era. I'm thinking metallics, clashing colours, bright pinks and even brighter reds. Can't wait to see what will come out!</div>

I was invited to go along to a ticketed event to celebrate the first birthday of Beauty Studio by Superdrug in Cardiff St Davids 2. I can't believe it's been a year since I was invited to the launch of the studio!</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
The event was for press and for beauty shoppers, where we were given the chance to get selected beauty treatments for free and treated to 10% off with the use of their Beauty Cards.</div>

The event itself was exciting and full of different things to do. I sadly couldn't stay for any treatments as the queues were pretty big so I just went along to see what was happening on the night. I haven't been to the studio in a while so it was lovely to be invited and see what new products were around. </div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
You can still get the same treatments as you did a year ago, such as using the hair salon, get gel nails and a polish, eyebrow treatments and demo on make up. The store is definitely more of a beauty store rather than a conventional drug store so is perfect if you need to have a pamper an style before a night out.</div>

I decided to pick up a new Cover and Conceal pallet by Makeup Revolution, which is perfect for concealing and contouring, some Dove shampoo and conditioner and a nail polish by Lottie London. We were also given some products from the B Beauty range and a de-stressing face mask. I can't wait to try all the products as I have wondered what products from the B Beauty range are like!</div>

Today is National Lipstick day and I thought I'd share some of my favourite lipsticks. I've chosen lower end and high end lipsticks that are my current and past favourites. Take a look at what I've chosen for my favourite Pastel, Classic Red, Non wearable, Nude, budget and lip balm. </div>

<strong><br /></strong>One of my favourites for obvious reasons, and that being Trixie Mattel's signature pink colour, Saint Germain is one of my favourite pastel pinks. It suits most skintones and has a bright opaque finish. It's great as a lipstick to blend with others to make them more vibrant or to wear alone for a bright Barbie pink lip.</div>

<strong>Favourite Non Wearable Colour:</strong></div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
At the moment Illamasqua's Vendetta is my favourite non wearable lipstick. I have worn it out mixed with a purple or a red to make an intense purple, but with the right eye makeup and outfit I would wear this as a stand alone lipstick. The colour is a beautiful true blue and applies smoothly with a vivid opaque colour. The good thing I find with Illamasqua lipsticks is that you rarely need a lip liner to hide your natural lip colour because of their rich colour pay off.</div>

Without a doubt Rihanna Viva Glam 1 red lipstick is my favourite go to red, with (Viva Glam 1 RuPaul coming in at close second). When I saw it was the perfect red with a gold glitter I grabbed one. It's a Christmas colour, it's a Summer colour, it's a classic go to red if you have a dark smoky eye or a plain brown eye. Goes with any tone thanks to it's golden undertone and can be used as a tint perfectly if applied with a balm. It's long lasting and great to complete your look.</div>

At the moment my every day work lipstick is Smashbox Cosmetics Matte Mauve which is from their current new line of lipsticks. Being a matte it has a non shiny finish and a rich colour pay off. Thankfully as it has hydrating properties it does last a long time on the lips without feeling too heavy or dry, which makes it perfect for long shifts in work and not having to worry about re applying my lipstick! More on the pink side of nudes, it completes any look with a dark eye or an every day bronze smoky eye.</div>

Scorned by Collection is my going out lipstick. It's dark enough to almost be a black, but you're still able to see a dark plum colour in every light. Incredibly long lasting for the price, the lipstick leaves a berry stain on the lips which is helpful on nights out and not having to worry about reapplication while having drinks or photos taken. This is the second tube of this lipstick I have gone though as it makes a fantastic lipstick to make things darker or just to wear on its own.</div>

<strong></strong>More of a lipstick in colour but texture of a balm, Pixi's Tinted Brilliance Balm in Bitten Berry is usually the first lipstick I grab in the winter, as it hydrates and soothes chapped lips while leaving them smooth and has an amazing colour. The colour is a strong stain which can be used on the lips and cheeks and lasts all day. This also makes a great base for darker red or purple lipsticks as the stain makes the lipstick last longer.</div>

Before receiving this product I rarely used conditioners as they often make my hair feel greasy and flat after a day. I haven't thought about using a leave in conditioner as a substitute so I was keen on trying this product.</div>

Having coloured hair I should ideally be using some sort of conditioner, and my hair is naturally wavy, so as you can imagine it does get tangled and is hard to brush.</div>

Price: £16.90 <a data-mce-href="https://www.unitehair.co.uk/product/7seconds-conditioner/" href="https://www.unitehair.co.uk/product/7seconds-conditioner/" target="_blank">Directly from Unite Hair</a></div>

Unite's products are not tested on animals and the product smells fresh and clean. The consistency is quite light weight and comes out as a mist which is absorbed into the hair quickly. It instantly feels soft and doesn't have a sticky residue or texture. It can also be used as a heat protector for hot hair tools and is a UV protector.<br />

This product claims to instantly detangles hair and lock in colour to coloured hair. It claims to also repair, protects and strengthen weak hair and is free from Parabens.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
My normal routine with this product is that I either wash my hair, towel dry it and use it as detangler while blow drying my hair, or use to naturally straighten my hair a day or two after washing if it looks a bit out of control. It definitely makes my hair feel smoother, sleeker, and easier to maintain and brush. I also like to use it on dry hair to quickly defrizz and detangle.</div>

All in all, brilliant product if you don't use or like the feeling of conditioner. It doesnt feel heavy or has the feeling a traditional conditioner. My hair has actually felt better after using this product so it is a complete thumbs up from me.</div>

At £16.90, it is a high end product but I do feel it gives salon finished hair in seconds, and is completely worth the money if you feel that your hair needs some TLC.</div>

I was contacted by<a data-mce-href="http://stylelux.co.uk/" href="http://stylelux.co.uk/"> Stylelux</a> a while back to review some products of theirs and I was sent some <a data-mce-href="http://stylelux.co.uk/beauty-accessories/5-acne-killer-10-ml?ref=g-bk&gclid=CjwKEAjwsZyqBRCT1aq6qcD53DQSJACcen4C3F7wju_f7w1eQtU4wVU66V-F-RzZXh_Bhoua9YHskBoCZlrw_wcB" href="http://stylelux.co.uk/beauty-accessories/5-acne-killer-10-ml?ref=g-bk&gclid=CjwKEAjwsZyqBRCT1aq6qcD53DQSJACcen4C3F7wju_f7w1eQtU4wVU66V-F-RzZXh_Bhoua9YHskBoCZlrw_wcB">Blackhead Killers</a>.

<em>As Blackhead Killer dries, it actually sucks pimples, blackheads and the oil and bacteria that cause them out of your skin. It penetrates deep and then literally sucks them up and out of your skin! It also lifts away the unsightly redness that accompanies pimples and reduces any pimple scars.

<a name='more'></a>I was surprised at how this product looked and how the texture felt. It's jet black and felt like tar. I was hesitant to apply it to my skin but I was intrigued. The packet didn't contain any instructions on how to apply so I applied thickly on my t zone and thinly around ares that didn't require any product. It did say to leave on for 10 minutes and I left it on for 15 ad the product didn't set well around my t-zone due to how thickly I applied it. I would say you'd get roughly 2 uses out of 1 packet as 10ml for a single use is a lot of product!<br />

As the product set it did feel like it was tightening my skin, and did feel uncomfortable, but it was manageable. When it did come to removing the product it did hurt quite a bit more than any other pore product I have, but I expected this as this product is a lot thicker than any other one I have tried. It took me about 5 minutes to get it all off as the bits that hadn't dried were stubborn and made a mess, but this is my error as I applied too much to certain areas. When I saw what this product removed I was shocked.</div>

This is just from my nose, and you can clearly see it did get deep into my pores and sucked out everything that shouldn't be there. I exfoliate twice a week so to see this it has made me re-think what use regularly as it shows it really isn't as effective as I thought! My skin for 2 days after was super soft and it did appear less red. I did not break out after using this product.</div>

During the Sk:n launch event in my last post, I was offered one free treatment, with the two options being a Glycolic Peel and a Microdermabrasion.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
I opted for the peel, as I have quite bad scarring and uneven skin texture. I booked in for a week after the event. I didn't know what to expect or what the outcome of the treatment would look like. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the nurse who was doing the Glycolic Peel on my skin and the receptionist. I signed paperwork and got taken into room 1 which was the skin assessment room.</div>

A Glycolic peel removes your top layer of skin, which helps your skin produce new collagen and elastin, and helps with skin concerns such as scarring, unevenness and texture of your skin.</div>

Louise gave me a skin diagnostic under the uv lamp, and said my skin is in great condition, as I don't use sunbeds and make sure I use anything above SPF 15 on my face at all times. My skin has a lot of scars from blemishes, and she explained as my skin is mixed race I'm prone to scarring a lot more easily, which explains why my scars take an aeon to heal!</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
The treatment itself was very relaxing. I was told I may experience a slight tingle but I didn't feel anything too drastic. It took about 15 minutes to complete, and Louise made me feel very comfortable and relaxed throughout the treatment. A gel like substance was applied to my skin using cotton then removed with water, followed by a moisturizer. My skin has ever felt softer since this treatment. I was recommended 6 treatments to get clearer skin and any questions asked were knowledgeable, detailed and explained thoroughly. Louise said that each treatment the % of glycolic acid will increase to help get deeper into the skin.</div>

Below is how my skin looked pre and post treatment, and I have been impressed with how the scars look after 1 treatment.</div>

I was told to continue using my glycolic exfoliator and cleanser to improve my skin further and I do feel as though it has helped my skins texture. I have found that makeup sits wonderfully on my skin after this treatment. Personally after this one treatment I'm impressed and will return for further treatments!</div>

Last week I was invited to attend the Sk:n Clinic opening party at David Lloyd in Cardiff to see what the clinic offered, see live demos and learn more about skin care. The event's attendees included local press, bloggers, and skin care specialists. Brightly lit, the clinic looked welcoming and clean with its white interior and calming blue colour scheme.</div>

The equipment used by Sk:n is modern and up to date with the latest ways to help your skin. They had a skin diagnostic hood, which emit a UV light on your skin which shows any signs of sun damage, pigmentation problems and aging. This is how the nurses and doctors are able to see clearly diagnose what areas of your skin are to be treated and can consult you on the best treatments for your skin.</div>

As I'm moving house in a couple of weeks I'm starting to de-clutter my life starting with my biggest collection, my makeup drawers and bags. So I thought while I'm throwing things out I'd document the products I've barely touched and why I've never used them before giving them the chop.</div>

These opinions and views are my own, and based on how they work on my own skin. My opinions in this blog post do not reflect other products in the lines of these companies, and were purchased with my own money. </div>

This products has been a beauty hit the past year with many bloggers and online gurus. I used it for around a month and I wasn't one bit impressed. The liner bled, the colour wasn't pigmented at all, it smudged and faded throughout the day even with the use of an eye shadow primer. I understand my eyelids are quite oily without a primer but I have cheaper waterproof and smudge proof liners that do a better job. The felt of the pen, though, didn't change which is the only bonus, but the formula is awful as it didn't reach the nib of the pen easily. </div>

This navy blue lipstick caught my eye in the Illamasqua London shop a couple of months ago and I decided to purchase it. I don't own any dark lipsticks so decided why not give this a whirl? Until I took it home and tried to use it. The formula is very dry, and colour pay off isn't as intense as the lipstick that was half used in the shop. I've tried every way possible to get a strong colour from this, so I'm not too sure if it is a fault, and I can understand that as a matte lipstick it will be dry, but not as dry as this lipstick actually is, it drags while applying and isn't smooth. I'm not too sure if it's a faulty lipstick, but I was shocked at the quality of this lipstick. </div>

The shop didn't come equipped with testers so I assumed Red would be an amazing colour to start off with. No. Somewhere below, you may or may not see 4 applications of this on my arm in one strip. Four. I have nothing more to say about this product, because it's quite clear why it's pretty darn awful.</div>

Tahitian looked like it would be a pretty coral colour and looked a little more promising than Red. This again had 4 swatches applied, and barely shows. Better than Red? Nope. Nada. No. </div>

I am a huge Real Techniques brush fan, and for my every day and night out face they are my go to for brushes as I know they will achieve the desired look I require for my look. However. I bought this silicone liner brush after eyeing it up in Boots and took the plunge when they launched their makeup pallets on their website a while back. This liner brush is honestly the worst I have tried, and I've seen some bad liner brushes. This brush drags the product and almost makes the product dryer to apply, no matter how little or much is on the brush. If you reapply the product over the same area it tends to take the underlying product away. The same thing happens with the image below if you use liquid, gel or cream liners. I'm not sure about you but I don't appreciate the look of how this liner applies due to this brush, it isn't smooth at all. I was disappointed with this as I know they hold a great reputation for their brush lines and sadly this single brush let the team down.</div>

I popped into Claire's Accessories a few days ago and managed to pick up a pack of <a data-mce-href="http://www.eleganttouch.com/lily-loves-lilygrams.html" href="http://www.eleganttouch.com/lily-loves-lilygrams.html"><span class="mceItemHidden" data-mce-bogus="1"><span class="hiddenSpellError" data-mce-bogus="1" pre="" style="border-bottom-color: red; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; cursor: default;">Lilygrams</span></span></a><span class="mceItemHidden" data-mce-bogus="1"> for £2 in their sale, reduced from £9. Recently, I've been using false nails and gel extensions a lot more, especially press on ones. With my final deadlines coming up it has been hard to pamper myself so press on nails have been a perfect <span class="hiddenGrammarError" data-mce-bogus="1" pre="perfect " style="border-bottom-color: green; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; cursor: default;">add on</span> to my beauty routines. I'll be reviewing these as if I'd purchased them for the full price. Included in the pack is a nail file, nail glue, instructions and 24 nails in 10 sizes.</span></div>

Texture of the glitter on the nail though is really smooth, it has a high gloss finish to the nail with the glitter trapped underneath, so it doesn't have that weird grainy feeling you usually get with glitter effect nails. Shape of the nail is a small oval and they are actually quite short once placed on the nail. I usually have nails longer than this so it's been strange adjusting to having shorter nail, kind of like they are baby drag nails compared to my usual long talons. The fit is pretty true to size and there was no need to reshape or file down my nails underneath which is always a bonus. Be prepaired for your nails to look mismatched as well, as every nail shape is a different colour. If you want a gold and red thumb, chances are you may not be able to have that design as it won't fit your nail.</div>

For this, I used the glue included in the pack to see if it would last up to 10 days like the pack claims. So far I'm on day 4, and they've all stayed on well, but there is an issue.</div>

This is my thumb nail after day one. It started when I pressed my iPhone button a little too hard and my nail slightly clipped the indent when I pressed the button. It then escalated to chipping off at everything I touched. It chipped away when my hair got caught under an edge, it chipped off when I undid a coffee lid. </div>

I think I may have had a faulty pack, as it hasn't really happened to any of the other nails, so with this being said if my thumb nail didn't chip off as much as it has I'd be pretty pleased with how it looks on day 4. For me, it has put me off purchasing glittered nails from them but I would try others from their collections. I usually use their<a data-mce-href="http://www.eleganttouch.com/totally-bare-oval-002.html" href="http://www.eleganttouch.com/totally-bare-oval-002.html"> Bare Oval 002</a> when I do my nails that allows me to create any shape I want and is a great length for me to decide if I'd like long or short nails.</div>

Looking at the other nails in the collection I'd definitely be willing to try the other nails in the collection, but I'd be weary of purchasing them at £9 in case this happened again.</div>

As part of my university course I was meant to go on a trip to London this week to look at galleries, but the trip fell through last minute. I purchased tickets to see Trixie Mattel to coincide with my trip so I booked a hotel and got myself to London to do some shopping and to see the Queen. My trip included visits to Camden, Oxford Street, Carnaby Street and Tottenham Court Road.</div>

I started my trip out by taking a trip to Hema, which is a similar store to Tiger. It's in Victoria station and it's always somewhere I make sure to stop at when I go to London as they have quirky home items and make up. <a data-mce-href="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/dscf1681.jpg" href="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/dscf1681.jpg"><img alt="DSCF1681" class=" size-medium wp-image-517 aligncenter" data-mce-src="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/dscf1681.jpg?w=300" height="225" src="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/dscf1681.jpg?w=300" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="300" /></a>I picked up one of my favourite primers, a new smudger eyeshadow brush, two lip liners, one dark brown and one coral, and a clay face mask from their skincare line. I have a few items from their skincare line and I love their night cream as it's really light weight and isn't greasy.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Then I went to Camden with a list of things I needed to get, one being a Frida Kahlo dress that I saw last time I went to London, and thankfully it was still there! Definitely can't wait to wear it!</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

Somehow I managed to find an authentic Betsey Johnson Betseyville bag for £7! It's tacky and chavy and I love it. I think I'll use it in my new house as a wall display along with my <a data-mce-href="http://www.schuh.co.uk/womens/privileged-twee-glitter-navy-and-black-high-heels/1162145760//?cid=Struq_FBX&_$ja=tsid:45372&utm_source=struq+fbx&utm_medium=struq&utm_campaign=struq+fbx4" href="http://www.schuh.co.uk/womens/privileged-twee-glitter-navy-and-black-high-heels/1162145760//?cid=Struq_FBX&_$ja=tsid:45372&utm_source=struq+fbx&utm_medium=struq&utm_campaign=struq+fbx4">Privileged Twee heels</a>, if not I'll happily show it off when I go shopping. </div>

After that I popped along to the Pixi store in Carnaby Street where I saw some of my old colleagues and global make up artist Amanda Bell, and got to film a segment for a promotional video for their iconic <a data-mce-href="http://www.pixibeauty.co.uk/glow-tonic" href="http://www.pixibeauty.co.uk/glow-tonic">Glow Tonic toner</a>, if you still haven't tried it you need to, it's something that has stayed in my skincare routine! I managed to pick up<a data-mce-href="http://www.pixibeauty.co.uk/complexion/foundation/h2o-skintint" href="http://www.pixibeauty.co.uk/complexion/foundation/h2o-skintint"> h2o Skintint </a>and stocked up on my Beauty Powder. It was nice to see everyone and if you want to see any Pixi products you'd like to try, pop into the store, the staff are lovely and helpful!</div>

I popped into Lazy Oaf and picked up a dress I'd seen online which was reduced from £65 to £20 and was in my side, so it would have been rude to leave it behind. I picked up spectacle rope from Tiger as well for £2 and it's the best £2 I've ever spent, they're so handy! I feel old with them on but I don't waste hours trying to find my glasses now!</div>

Then came the reason I went to London, to see Trixie Mattel and Meth. I was so excited, tired and nervous and all of these emotions and 4 drinks later, I was very merry. First up was Meth who lip synched to Roar. I was insanely jealous of her yellow hair, as it is the exact colour my hair should have been two weeks previous but it ended up being a brassy blonde. </div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Then came TeTe Bang, who dressed up as Lumpy Space Princess and lip synched to two songs and did an angle grinding performance. Other acts on the night included Tifanny Diamante and Fagulous.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Trixie put on a great show performing to Telephone and Little Shop of Horrors which were fantastic, and also included a roasting session of the season 7 queens and a Blind Date style show on stage with the crowd.</div>

I was invited to attend Lush Cardiff's seasonal event to showcase their new products. Unfortunately I missed all the demos but I was shown around by their helpful staff to see what they had in store for this season. I went in with a few questions in mind as I feel as though my shower and skincare routine could deal with a freshen up and accidentally spent over my budget, oops!</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Beforehand I'd looked online to catch up on products I'd miss out on in the demos so I was clued up before I went in and knew what I wanted.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

I then made a beeline for the <a data-mce-href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/easter/pot-o-gold" href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/easter/pot-o-gold">Pot O Gold</a> shower jellies because I wanted to see how gold they were in real life. And they were pretty darn gold. So I picked up two pots.</div>

I was then introduced to<a data-mce-href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/african-paradise" href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/african-paradise"> African Paradise</a>. This is something I didn't really need but thought would be a great product to add to my shower routine as my skin becomes dry as the seasons transition. I was told they're temporarily stopping production of this product as they cannot source the Aloe Gel but it will be back. I'll write a review on this when I use it. It's a body conditioner that you use in the shower, hopefully it'll solve my dry elbow problem and restore moisture.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Upstairs I stocked up on my usual products, and picked up a hair shampoo bar. I've tried all of Lush's oil control shampoos so I'm HOPING <a data-mce-href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/shampoo-bars/montalbano" href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/shampoo-bars/montalbano">Montalbano</a> will solve it, I'll let you all know! It has lemons which naturally cleanses hair, and Rosemary which calms the scalp.</div>

I then tried a new face mask as my skin is feeling a lil dry and I wanted to see if a mask would help solve it,and was introduced to <a data-mce-href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/catastrophe-cosmetic" href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/catastrophe-cosmetic">Catastrophe Cosmetic</a>, which is a calming blueberry mask. It makes your skin feel as soft as cashmere after applying! I do find it a little messy as it crumbles so Ideally you'd need to put it on and relax then wash off, you can't really put it on and go about your day as it makes a lot of mess but it's worth the silky smoothness it leaves your skin!</div>

At no fault of Lush I wish I could have been there to see the full event, and thank you for letting me come after I finished work and attending late with a warm welcome, and sorry I kept you after the event had finished to explain things to me, very much appreciated and great service as usual!</div>

On the first of March I was invited to attend an afternoon with<a data-mce-href="http://www.joeblogsnetwork.com/" href="http://www.joeblogsnetwork.com/"> JoeBloggers</a>, <a data-mce-href="http://thecraftyhen.co.uk/" href="http://thecraftyhen.co.uk/">The Crafty Hen </a>and <a data-mce-href="http://www.hillarys.co.uk/" href="http://www.hillarys.co.uk/">Hillarys</a> to learn how to create some exciting crafts using Hillarys blind fabric.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
I was excited to try something different and go to an event that was a change from beauty blogging and it was a refreshing afternoon to create something that I could use and take home! </div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
This event was held in <a data-mce-href="http://www.chapter.org/" href="http://www.chapter.org/">Chapter Arts</a> in Canton, Cardiff. I'd never been before but the building was beautiful and I had a shock to see how big the building actually was. If you haven't been here please do check it out, it hosts some local talent and live acts.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
During the day, we created a book cover, and a fabric bird.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

We selected our own fabric and given a notebook to cover. The book cover was really simple and only required a few corner stitches and is totally reusable! All it took was a piece of fabric slightly larger than the chosen book, a few folds, stitching and it's done! Instructions are below if you'd like to try yourself!</div>

I opted for a tie together bow to keep my book cover shut, then became a button hoarder and glued several in a cluster on the top of my book as well as two on the ribbon. I couldn't not use them they were beautiful! Considering I've not properly sewn since school I was pleased with the outcome!</div>

It's fascinating that this is blind fabric, it's incredibly durable, soft and easy to manipulate however you want so it can be easy to clean and turn into blinds or recycled to create exciting things such as these after you're done with your blinds.</div>

I had a great afternoon chatting to other bloggers and getting crafty. We got to take home a bag made from the fabric and a Yankee Candle Tart! Thanks to all involved creating this exciting day!<br />

Last week Superdrug Beauty Studio in Cardiff hosted an evening with Ruth Crilly from A Model Recommends and COLAB for a selected group of lucky customers and bloggers.

Questions and Comments MUAs get often #2.<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Continuing with my MUA questions series, today's post will be about cleaning brushes. Ideally you need to be washing them twice a week, and spot cleaning them with brush cleaner throughout the week to keep your brushes clean and germ free, but I know it can be a struggle with time to do this.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
It's simple, easy and you should include it in your house and beauty chores list. Not only will your make up go on a lot better, you'll notice clearer skin, and a better finish to your overall look. Read more to see why, and how to clean brushes quickly and cheaply!</div>

<strong>So how often should you clean your brushes?</strong></div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong>If you're a make up artist</strong>, after every client you should deep clean your brushes, which is what I'll be showing you how to do below. This helps with keeping your brushes in tip top condition and of course sanitized and clean for the next client. Obviously if you're doing more than one persons face, this is where brush cleaner comes into play but after you finish the session / day go home and clean your brushes. Being smart about client hygiene should be your priority, as cross contamination can lead to angry clients.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong>If you're using them on a day to day basis on yourself</strong>, realistically speaking, I know not everyone will have the chance to deep clean their brushes. You should be aiming to deep clean your brushes twice a week or twice a fortnight.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<strong>Do you need special brush shampoo?</strong></div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
In short, no! You can use anything to deep clean your brushes, as long as you get all of the make up out of the brushes. You should not use conditioner on your brushes as it makes bristles soft, which means it may not apply like it used to and can misshape them. Myself, I use a cheap body wash usually with citrus to cut through oils, or a cheap shampoo. I know some people use baby shampoo, any shampoo to be honest is fine. You don't need to spend a lot of money on an expensive brush cleaner as they all do the same.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

There are many ways to wash your brushes, some people soak them, which I don't recommend as it can make the glue from the ferrule, (usually the metal part of a brush that holds the bristles in and attaches it to the wooden/metal handle) loose and melt away and this is how brushes can shed. So I usually wet my brush, place some shampoo on my hands or on the brush and swirl around in my hand then rinse off under water.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<img alt="IMG_9095" class=" size-medium wp-image-375 aligncenter" data-mce-src="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/img_9095.jpg?w=224" height="300" src="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/img_9095.jpg?w=224" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="224" />This is my usual choice in brush wash as it gets the job done. It has lemon which cuts through oils and grease and tea tree which is a known anti bacterial ingredient.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

Start off by quickly running the brush under warm water, not too hot as it can melt the glue, I pour the wash on my hand and make my hand into a cup shape. From that I swirl the brush around clock wise and anti clock wise to make sure the cleaner gets on all bristles and it lathers up well. You can also massage it in but try not to be too rough as it can matt the brush hairs.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
After this I rinse the brush under warm water again getting all of the product out, I repeat this step if it has a lot of product to make sure it's as clean as possible. You want to make sure the water is crystal clear. After that, squeeze out all the water then shape the brush into it's original shape, like the image above. If you don't do this it dries the way it is left, and will not apply product properly and generally looks like a messy brush. You can, use paper towels to get the majority of water out by rubbing it in the paper towel then reshaping, this just helps speed up the drying process. Place the brush on a flat surface on a towel or anything that absorbs water well. Leave overnight to dry. Do not place on a radiator as it can melt the glue, or use a hair dryer as again, it can melt the glue. That's pretty much it, repeat for all brushes you have. Takes me around 45 minutes to wash all my brushes, but I like to repeat the process on some brushes to make sure all product is out.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

You can place the cleaner on the brush directly then swirl it around in your hand. You can also make up a put with some cleaner/soap/shampoo in, and swirl it around then swirl it in your hand, but I don't like this as the brush cleaner gets messy quickly and you need to keep changing the solution. </div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

If you have a lot of smaller brushes like the ones below you can wash them all at once rather than individually. Just make sure that all brushes are clean, and you may want to repeat the process.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

And that's pretty much it. Here's how all my brushes look after I wash them. Make sure you reshape them and leave them alone until they're dry. Any questions ask away and I'll try and help! <img alt="IMG_9111" class=" size-medium wp-image-384 aligncenter" data-mce-src="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/img_9111.jpg?w=224" height="300" src="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/img_9111.jpg?w=224" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="224" /></div>

As part of Curry's #Currysfiresidefiction and their competition to win some amazing kindle and Amazon prizes that can be seen <a href="http://techtalk.currys.co.uk/computing/amazon-fire-competition/">here</a>, I have been asked to write about my favourite book and film I've read and seen this year and I must admit it's been quite tough to pick just two from the amount I've read and seen!</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Eventually I decided on one of each. My book of choice is The Further Adventures of An Idiot Abroad by Karl Pilkington, and for my film choice, The Wind Rises by Hayao Miyazaki.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<a data-mce-href="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_0467.jpg" href="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_0467.jpg"><img alt="IMG_0467" class=" size-medium wp-image-364 aligncenter" data-mce-src="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_0467.jpg?w=300" height="224" src="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_0467.jpg?w=300" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="300" /></a></div>

Both have been brilliant to fill up some spare time and I highly recommend you to read or watch them! Read on to see why I decided to pick these books.</div>

<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Karl Pilkington for me, is a hero in many ways. The way his mind works and his thought processes come about are definitely remarkable and applaudable, as normal people wouldn't necessarily say what's on their minds, whereas Karl simply doesn't care and does not have a filter.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<img alt="IMG_0468" class=" size-medium wp-image-365 aligncenter" data-mce-src="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_0468.jpg?w=300" height="224" src="https://sindyydoll.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_0468.jpg?w=300" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="300" /></div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
The Further Adventures of An Idiot Abroad is the second book of the series, which I also own and adored reading, and it tells of Karl's adventures around the world with bits you didn't see in the show. Unlike the first book where it followed Karl's travels to the 7 wonders of the world, this book follows Karl as he completes some of his bucket list and his thoughts and feelings along the way. The one thing I absolutely love about Karl's books is that he writes them as he speaks, so as you're reading it you read it in his monotonal voice in your head which adds to the comedy value. Even if you haven't seen the show you can read this book without the need of the TV show because he does go into detail about his travels and it even has polaroid moments to show the readers what he got up to. It;s quite clear while reading it why his next season was called The Moaning of Life, because he is the king in the moaning game. I don't want to spoil any of this for anyone incase you'd like to read it. If you would, you can purchase it from Amazon <a data-mce-href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Further-Adventures-Idiot-Abroad/dp/0857867504" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Further-Adventures-Idiot-Abroad/dp/0857867504" target="_blank" title="here"> here</a>!</div>

Moving on to my favourite film of the year it has to be The Wind Rises. Allegedly Hayao Miyazaki's last film due to his retirement in 2013 it's a beautifully animated film set in Japan. It was translated and released in the UK in May this year.</div>

The film follows Jiro, a man with a dream to be a pilot but due to his eyesight, he is unable to fly and pursue his dream. He admires a famous Italian aeronautical designer Caproni and wishes to follow in his footsteps. He follows his dreams and eventually becomes one of the worlds best aeroplane designer after joining an engineering company. During this time, he becomes friends with Honjo, and falls in love with Nahoko. The film follows his life and these people during troubled times in Japan, including the Great Kanto Earthquake, the horrific tuberculosis pandemic which swept through Japan and the war. Again I don't wish to spoil the film for anyone, so I implore you to watch it. I watched it with someone who does not like anime films or shows and they thoroughly enjoyed it as much as I did. I actually regret not trying to find a cinema with this film being shown and going to see it because it's overwhelming how much work went into the production of this film.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<em>(I actually did that with Arrietty, found one cinema in Cardiff that showed it and managed to watch it on the last day. I was one of those people who went to the cinema on their own because no one wanted to go see it, more fool them!)</em></div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Gudea, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.5555562973022px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
It has a great voice cast including Martin Short, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, John Krasinski, and Emily Blunt, which add familiar voices to the film. I cannot stress how fantastic this film is and I urge you to watch it, I was blown away and it's a breathtaking film for Miyazaki's final film. You can also find that on amazon <a data-mce-href="http://www.amazon.com/Wind-Rises-2-Disc-Blu-ray-Combo/dp/B00MHT49KO" href="http://www.amazon.com/Wind-Rises-2-Disc-Blu-ray-Combo/dp/B00MHT49KO">here.</a> </div>

I've seen it on various media websites with mixed and good reviews and while I was in town I decided to pick some products that I would use in my everyday looks.<br />
<div>
I picked up a few but today I decided to review a nude lip liner, which I know would be a tough test as I do not suit nude lips at all, as my lips are very red without product on, and the liquid liner because I'm a liquid liner hoarder.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Both were priced at £1 per item, and the same goes for the whole line of products.</div>
<div>

<div>
<a name='more'></a>I was pleasantly surprised at the applicator to the liquid liner; It's an actual thin brush! I was so shocked to see it as I much prefer thin brushes to hard plastic tips and foam cone shaped applicators, as after time these often bend and become misshapen, so you can't create a thin line.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The pencil is nice and soft, and is easy to blend and isn't too soft so it's unable to be sharpened without crumbling away. </div>

I was surprised to see how black this liner turned out to be, and it lasts a long time on the skin (as long as you don't rub your eyes hard!). It measures up to the likes of a more expensive brand such as TheBalm. The brush on it is effortless and to be fair does a really nice straight line and doesn't crinkle on my lids. Absolute winner for £1!</div>

The Lip Liner is also a winner for me. It's creamy and you can wear alone as a lip colour. It isn't drying at all but I did find when I applied a gloss to it, the colour changed much lighter, so light it looked too light on my lips.</div>

I went outside my lip line to see if I could create a fuller lip, and I feel like it was successful. I would not feel uncomfortable wearing this out and doesn't look too light on my lips. It stayed on my lips while eating and drinking and only required top up after around 2/3 hours. The lip liners only came in 3 shades in the Merthyr branch and 2 in the Cardiff so I'm not too sure how many colours you can get but I'm assuming only around 4 or 5.</div>
<br />
I don't think I'd go as far as trying their foundations as I'd fear my skin would clog, but their colour products are fantastic especially for £1. I also purchased an eyeshadow colour which was a cranberry colour and a lipstick, so I'll review those in a separate post. Definitely try out the products if you're near a Poundland.<br />

The Pallet consists of 6 apple inspired shades which are a very creamy consistency that dry to a non sticky texture. All the shades in this pallet can be used on the lips and cheeks.<br />

The pallet opens up like a book, with a very large mirror on one side and the product at the other end. The pallet also has a man to represent each colour at the side of each product, and some are hilariously photoshopped! Each colour comes out pretty smoothly, and very pigmented. I tried applying with my fingers and brush and both methods applied smoothly.I also applied the colours to bare skin, on foundation freshly applied and after a couple of hours an also on top of powder and the formula didn't budge my foundation.<br />

Cider came out more of a highlight which looked beautiful on top of the blushers. For me Caramel is more of a colour I'd use to create a gradient blush if I wanted to blend a couple of colours together. My favourite is definitely Crisp I'd the perfect balance of peach and pink.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey everyone!</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I decided to have a shirt hiatus from the blogging world. So what happened while I was away?</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I decided to take a break after becoming very ill on and after my Birthday. I spent in London for my Birthday, then after my Birthday I was struck with the flu followed by a winter cold, which led me to miss lots of blogging opportunities and events. With my work and university work on top of this I decided to take a short break to clear my mind and get better, which has helped me a lot! This week I headed back to london with my University to visit some art galleries and museums, did a little shopping at my usual shops then headed back to wet and windy Wales.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is some of what has been going on in my life in pictures...</span></div>

The night didn't consist of demos and group activities like the last event as the products were mainly extensions of their current products, but it was still fun to have a relaxed night of shopping and seeing old and new faces.<br />

New products in included new Bubble Bars, Bath Bombs, shower gels, body dusts, face masks, laced with shimmery glitters and gorgeous scents.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I got to the store just after 8pm and it was already full of bloggers and staff chatting away. It wasn't like the last event where we were split into two groups and introduced to the new products and I'm assuming this is because like I said in this blog opening was the fact they are just extensions to their old products and lines just with new scents and formula tweeks.<br />
<br />
I was amazed at how beautiful the soaps were for this Christmas, and I'm not usually amazed by soaps!<br />

I picked up the standard must have, their beautiful candy floss-esque shower gel, Snow Fairy and picked one up for my housemate as well. They had new scents out for Christmas as well, which were So White, which had a crisp apple smell, Hot Toddy, which had a hot cinnamon type scent and brought back fan favourite Rose Jam, which is a beautiful sweet rose scented gel. </div>

I wasn't too keen on So White but I adored Rose Jam. I picked that up in the medium sized 250g bottle,</div>

Upstairs they had some demos on request of their new face masks and body products which were tailored to your skin or if you were curious at the new products! They had the Santa's lip scrub back again this year, and had snow fairy massage bars and even a snow fairy x sweetie pie tin!</div>

Downstairs they had demos of their bubble bars, bath bombs and FUN soaps, their new bath bombs for Christmas are fantastic, one was purple and had gold stars in it which was meant to look like the northern lights as the bomb colours dispersed. </div>

At the end of the night I decided to pick up a couple of things that interested me, and was kindly given 3 items by Lush in our bags which were a Santa Bath Bomb, A bubble bar and a small bottle of Hot Toddy, thanks Lush! I also bought a Rudolph scarf as it was too adorable to leave behind!<br />

I purchased Rose Jam, X2 Snow Fairys, Yog Nog (Which by the way EVERYONE needs to smell it's amazing, literally smells so good you want to eat it), Rehab shampoo and the Rudolph scarf. I did want the Christmas shower jelly as well but they didn't have any in stock but that just means I have to take a detour and call in to the shop again on my way to the bus stop!<br />
<br />
Thanks again Lush Cardiff for a fantastic night!<br />

The feel of this product is really smooth to the touch and I originally purchased for just my lips, but I must admit they are incredibly smooth to apply on top of foundation as blushers. I picked three colours which were out of my comfort zone, which are a pink, orange and beige. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Best applied on exfoliated lips these do not hydrate as such but they do leave a slight stain to the skin and lips which is fantastic as theres no need to re-apply during the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did find the weaker of the bunch as the pink, and the beige leaves a lovely rose tinted beige stain after a duration of time.</div>
<br />

The applicator is unique in that it has a bendy section in the middle which picks up enough product in the inner well to apply the correct amount of product to your skin or lips. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The colours do come out quite bright which actually shocked me as I was expecting more of a wash of colour rather than a high impact statement colour, even down to the beige it's a vibrant colour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Swatched below are all three colours on my lips. I did get a tingling sensation on my lips and by the third colour, which is the orange my upper lip had swollen slightly which is noticeable, it's a similar to the sensation that I got from wearing Benefit's Lollitint, it's not uncomfortable but I must be allergic to something in the ingredients list.</div>

I chose the colour BD40 which is slightly lighter than my skin tone, which is how I prefer my foundation to be, and managed to get £10 worth of points if I purchased another item which was silly to turn down.<br />
<br />
I did like using the sample, however, upon using this foundation more I have mixed feelings on it. Why? Avoid if you have dry, flakey skin or are unable to exfoliate often.<br />

The foundation its self is oil based, but it evaporates to the touch. The texture is lovely, silky smooth and leaves an almost matte but not quite satin finish to the skin. Coverage wise I wouldn't say this is full, it's more buildable sheer to almost medium. I still need to use concealer and powder on top to achieve a flawless finish and even out my skintone. They do have a large colour choice for the foundation so it's worth going to get colour matched.</div>

I do have a little bone to pick with the packaging, it isn't too my taste and I was disappointed to see it. In my opinion it doesn't exude luxury like the other YSL bottles and I absolutely hate it products that have removable caps, imagine how ghastly it would look without the gold cap?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I do, however, like the applicator. It pick up the right amount of product for you to put on the areas of face before blending. </div>

However, using it throughout the time I have had it I have noticed that it is not good if you have not exfoliated. I have sensitive skin so if I exfoliate too much my skin becomes dry, sore, sometimes even makes my skin even more oily or I break out. I usually exfoliate once a fortnight. This is after about 1 week after exfoliating, with a moisturiser and primer. </div>

You can see the foundation just doesn't want to sit on the dryer areas or sit properly on my pores. Which means this foundation is more for normal skin or combination if you're not dry on your tzone, and the fact it is a costly foundation to use, having to also use an exfoliator moisturizer and primer underneath, with added help from concealers and powders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can see that on my hand which has a smoother texture that the foundation has blended in smoothly. Unfortunately not all of us are blessed with smooth skin so avoid at all costs if you're dry of oily with dryness.</div>

Overall, sad that I can't use this foundation all the time like I hoped, but I guess it'll go with my other collection of foundations that are for special occasions for after my skin gets pampered. For now I'll stick with Studio Skin for my every day foundation, however I can't deny it does look beautiful once applied to silky smooth skin and does last a long time on the face.</div>
