<br />
This months Glossybox came alot earlier than usual but like always, I do enjoy coming home and seeing the Glossybox waiting for me :)<br />
<br />
This month the theme of the box is International Superstars. They have selected products from around the world that are well-known in the UK and products that have cult status in their native country.<br />
<br />
Here's what was in my Glossybox this month,<br />

<br />
<u>Valentino Assoluto, Eau de Parfum - £61.00 Fullsize (Italy) - </u>Seductive, intense, beautiful feminine fragrance by Valentino<br />
<br />

<br />
I do like the idea of the theme this month. Its always nice to try products from around the world. The product that's caught my eye is the deep cleansing oil. There's alot of these around at the moment so it would be good to try and see what it's like.<br />
<br />
What do you think of my Glossybox? Did you get the same or get something different? Let me know :) xx<br />

<br />
Hope everyone has had a nice week. At long last it is sunny, yey!! Hopefully this will continue into next week. I have finally got a week off work.<br />
<br />
I mentioned in my last post that I popped into WH Smith the other day to pick up a new Make-Up storage box. I've been after one for a while and when I saw this I wanted it immediately. Its a lovely black and white floral design and has enough drawers for me to put my Make-up in.<br />
<br />

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
While I was in WHSmith
getting my new beauty storage holder (I will do a post of this soon
so keep a look out) I couldn’t help popping over to the magazine
stand and having a look at the latest Celeb gossip. Whilst I was
looking through various magazines, something caught my eye. I spotted a Cosmopolitan Beauty Magazine. Straight away I picked it up and
had a quick flick through.
</div>

<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It’s a brand new beauty magazine that’s just been released this month. It
gives you hints, tips and reviews on various beauty products ranging
from hair products to make-up. It doesn’t just focus on high end
products it covers everything from beauty on budget to the best high street
brands.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
At £5.99 some people
my find this a tad bit expensive for a magazine but I can assure you
that this is such a good quality magazine. There’s plenty of
pictures, step by step how to guides and advice. Its definitely worth the money. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<br />
Yesterday, me and my sister took a drive to the White Rose shopping centre which is just outside of Leeds. One of the main reason's we went was because it has a Primark which York unfortunately doesn't have (maybe one day). Here's what I managed to pick up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ucIHPZsXLrY/UB2gb-xmBWI/AAAAAAAAArU/7-p8bQh6ERo/s1600/Primark+haul.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="380" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ucIHPZsXLrY/UB2gb-xmBWI/AAAAAAAAArU/7-p8bQh6ERo/s400/Primark+haul.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. I have been after some maxi skirts for a while and as soon as I saw these they went straight into my basket. At £10 each their a bargain.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. I'm loving the lose fitting, baggy tops which quite afew shops are doing at the moment. These are £6 each and loved the colours that they come in. They can be worn dress down with a pair of jeans or dressed up with either a smart pair of trousers or a skirt.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. There was just something about these little pumps that I loved. I think its the design of them. I love the tartan look. They remind me of grandma's or granddad's slippers. At £4 you can't go wrong.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I have to point out, when I like something and it comes in several different colours, I have a habit of trying to get them in every colour if I can. Hence why I picked up two maxi skirts and two tops. But you have to admit, they are nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What do you think of my Primark haul? Have you brought anything nice from there recently? Let me know :) xx</div>

Hey Guys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can't believe we're now in August. This year has just flown by. I'll be soon writing a blog about ideas for Christmas presents!!! Until that time comes here are my July favourites.
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Alpha H Liquid Gold</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been using this for the past month and I love it. I have done a review on this previously which you can read <a href="http://makeupandme-robyn.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/alpha-h-liquid-gold.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I use it on alternative nights as it can be abit overpowering for your skin. I feel like when I use this, my skin has this protective layer. Any spots that I have get smaller overnight and I haven't been getting any of the cyst type spots that I usually get. I can understand why this gets the reviews it does. I love it!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I know I have only just done a review on this on my last blog <a href="http://makeupandme-robyn.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/laura-mercier-secret-camourflage.html" target="_blank">here</a>, but honestly I have been using this for afew weeks. I was just being abit lazy writing up my review of it. I could go on and on about how great this is. It covers everything and anything. I have had a couple of stubborn little spots that don't seem to want to disappear. But that doesn't seem to matter no more as with this it just covers them completely and they just vanish. If you're looking for a concealer then I can't recommend this enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Soft & Gentle </u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought this back in May and its still my go to powder. It sets my make-up really well and provides my face with lovely finish. I have tried afew others powders since getting this but nothing has been close to how good this is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Osmo Berber Oil - Hair Treatment</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am a big fan of hair oil's now and this is what started it for me. I won't go on about this too much as you can read my review of this <a href="http://makeupandme-robyn.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/osmo-berber-oil-hair-treatment.html" target="_blank">here</a> about how great this is. For me with someone with fine hair, this just helps it look and feel fuller and it doesn't get as greasy. Once I've finished this bottle I will definitely be repurchasing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This has been on my wish list since I first started my blog. It’s a favourite amongst A-listers and recently it was voted the best concealer in the In-Style awards. This just made me want it more.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Now you may have read in my previous post that York has finally got a Laura Mercier counter and when I was looking round I couldn’t resit getting my hands on this!!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The Secret Camouflage contains a unique two-shade palette. One is to match the skins depth of colour and one to match the skin undertone. It claims that because of this two-shade system it makes is possible for everyone to custom-blend their own prefect shade.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dte1ONUhrg8/UBltEXJfuNI/AAAAAAAAAoo/K-6F3wzBsNQ/s1600/laura.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dte1ONUhrg8/UBltEXJfuNI/AAAAAAAAAoo/K-6F3wzBsNQ/s320/laura.jpg" width="244" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CjRSdZyFWI4/UBgJuiFaVZI/AAAAAAAAAnQ/7g6J3zYa_RM/s1600/LAURA+PHOTO+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CjRSdZyFWI4/UBgJuiFaVZI/AAAAAAAAAnQ/7g6J3zYa_RM/s320/LAURA+PHOTO+2.jpg" width="243" /></a><br />

The nice SA lady recommended that I use the SC-2 shade and showed me how to apply it. She said that using a small concealer brush, mix the two shades together and then apply to the areas you want coverage.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Now usually with the concealers I have been using in the past they have provided coverage but I was never really 100% happy. I would still feel self-conscious about the blemishes I have. But this concealer is totally different. I pop the concealer onto my blemishes and it just covers them like a dream. Yes they’re still there but I feel so much more confident.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It blends so well and it you can build up coverage without looking cakey. And a little goes a long way.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I can totally see why this gets the reviews and awards it does. It’s just so amazing. At £26.00. It is one of the expensive concealers out there and usually I wouldn’t want to spend this much on a concealer. But because of the amazing results you get, I feel this justifies the price. After waiting what like seems an eternity to get this, I can now happily say its now has pride and place in my Make-up bag.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
While I love living
York one
of the downsides is that unfortunately we don’t really get the big
names in our shops. If you want any of these then you have to go to
Leeds. While I don’t mind getting the bus or train sometimes you
just want to quickly pop into town.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Well recently the
Fenwick store in York has being having a major make over. Its now
stocks Ren skincare, Nail’s Inc and has a Clains beauty spa. But
the main thing that has got me excited it that there is now a MAC and
Laura Mercier counter!!!! <span style="font-family: Wingdings;"></span></div>

Guys,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">Hope
everyone is enjoying the weekend? After months of rain it is
finally sunny!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">As
part of me wanting to improve my skincare routine and my skin I have
recently purchased the Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate. As with most
of Liz Earle products this got great reviews. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sCnr3gjyUBQ/UAxHeiuiqmI/AAAAAAAAAk8/_nCPm-DeGWY/s1600/liz+earle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sCnr3gjyUBQ/UAxHeiuiqmI/AAAAAAAAAk8/_nCPm-DeGWY/s320/liz+earle.jpg" width="274" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br /><span style="color: black;">It
claims to soften dry and mature skin and help balance combination or
oily skin. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">You
apply it after cleansing and toning. Pump about a 5 pence piece
amount onto the pads of your fingers and then rub it between your
fingertips to warm up. Then apply it to your skin with upward and
outward movements. <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">If you
suffer from dry skin follow with you choice of moisturiser but if
your like me and suffer with combination to oily skin use alone to
help balance and soothe you skin.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: black;">I've
been using this for about a month now and since then I can say that
my skin feels more pumped up and more even looking. Before using this
I had two cysts type spots on my chin and nothing was making them go.
But after using this on my skin the spots got smaller and eventually
disappeared. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">While
I love this and would definitely be purchasing again, the one thing
that I'm not a fan of is the smell. Its quite a strong lavender
fragrance. I don't mind the smell of lavender but to me this seems
abit overpowering. But after rubbing it into your skin and letting it
sink in, the lavender slowly disappears. Because I love this product
so much I can live with this negative.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">This
comes is three sizes. A 28ml bottle for £40.25, a 10ml roller-ball
for £19.75 and a 2ml little tester for £5.75. If you're not too
sure then I would recommend the little tester bottle as £40 and even
£20 is alot to pay for something if you turn out not to like it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">I
purchased mine from QVC which has the best policy where if you don't
like something and its even been used you can return it within 30 days
for a full money back guarantee. You can also purchase this from
the Liz Earle website and John Lewis stores.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">Have
you tried the Liz Earle Superskin and what have thought of it? Let me
know :) xx</span></span><br />

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Hey Guys,</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I received this in May's glossybox and I have been waiting patiently to use it while I have finishing off my current hair treatment. When I first saw it was so excited. People have
been raving about hail oils and how they work wonders on your hair.
If im honest, I have always been abit unsure about oil for hair. I
expected that adding oil to your hair would make it look really greasy. I
have quite fine hair and this is the last thing I would want for my
hair. But I decided to give it ago and hope for the best and I can
say that im glad I did.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SLACYqv_rSs/UAm2b0mYkAI/AAAAAAAAAkw/aGgG9P5vUwM/s1600/hair+oil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SLACYqv_rSs/UAm2b0mYkAI/AAAAAAAAAkw/aGgG9P5vUwM/s320/hair+oil.jpg" width="271" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This has been the best thing I have ever used on my hair. Since using it my hair seems fuller, looks shinier and doesn't go as greasy during the day like it usual does.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I apply about a 5 pence amount onto my finger tips and then rub it into damp hair. I then section my hair and blow dry it. While my usual styling product just left my hair looking OK this leaves my hair looking fantastic. It kind of makes my feel like I have had my hair blow dried at a hairdresses!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think I am now convinced by hair oils and once I have used this I will be purchasing again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have you tried any hair oils and what have you thought? Are there any you would recommend? Let me know :) xx</div>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02955850017194758569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776695046499888677.post-68543448981928736312012-07-16T17:56:00.000+01:002012-07-16T17:56:01.184+01:00Alpha-H Liquid Gold<br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Hey
Guys,</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Recently
I have been thinking that my skin needs an extra boost as it hasn't
been in the best condition recently. I've been feeling abit run
down and unfortunately my skin has suffered :(</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">After
reading other blogs and reviews one product that seemed to get
mentioned quite alot and that was the Alpha-H Liquid Gold.</span></span></div>

<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">It's
enriched with natural glycolic acid which helps promotes brighter,
smoother looking skin and improves the appearance of skin.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><u>How
to use</u></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">You
use this as a toner and apply after you have cleansed BUT you apply
it on alternating nights, not every night like you would do a usual
toner. Once you have applied it using a cotton wool pad that's it. DO
NOT apply anything else to your face. To get the full benefit of this
product, its recommended that you do not apply any serums or
moisturisers after. For me this is the hardest bit. It feels really
alien not applying a serum, moisturiser and then a spot treatment.
But if the reviews are anything to go by then these are definitely
worth sacrificing to make this work.</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I
have used this twice since I got it through the post the other day
and I think I can already see abit of a difference in my skin. It
might only be abit of an improvement but I'm thinking positive things
about this product.</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I
purchased the Alpha-H (</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">supersize 200ml)
from the <a href="http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.222363/walk.yah.ukBR~UKMC" target="_blank">QVC</a> website.
At the moment it is priced at £36.76, which is really good
considering the 100ml size is around £28.00, and is currently on
free p&p. The best thing about QVC is that they offer a 30 day
money back guarantee, even if you have used it. So you are unsure
about this then I would recommend purchasing this from them.</span></span></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<u>Caudalie Beauty Elixir</u><br />
This has become a firm favourite of bloggers and a certain Mrs Beckham and you can see why. I use mine as a toner and it has definitely helped calm my skin down and tighten the pores. It also acts as a great skin pick me up when you find that you skin is lagging during the day.<br />
<br />
<u>Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate</u><br />
Been wanting to try this for a while and when I saw it on QVC for 2 easy payments I popped into my basket straight away. I use this after my toner and before my moisturiser. You can use it instead of a moisturiser but I feel weird not putting a moisturiser on. Since using it, I feel that my skin looks more pumped up and has improved my skin tone. I'm not a fan of the smell but it soon disappears when you rub it into your skin.<br />
<br />
<u>17 Photo Flawless Primer</u><br />
I have been testing a few primers recently and this one for me has come out on top. It is great at providing a lovely smooth matt finish on your skin and Make-Up just glides on with ease. My Make-Up lasts all day when I use this and keeps shine at bay. Its one of the cheapest primers around, £4.99 from boots, its a definite must have.<br />
<br />
<u>Vichy Dermablend Ultra-Corrective tester set.</u><br />
I got this sample pack in last month’s glossybox. From the testers I have been mostly using the Opal shade. I think its one of the best products that helps to cover up blemishes. At £19.00 for the full size version, its one of the cheaper high coverage concealers/foundation that are on offer. If you do have dry I wouldn't recommend using this as it doesn't cover dry areas that well but for everything else its a must have product.<br />
<br />
<u>Real Techniques deluxe crease brush</u><br />
This is the brush from the starter set pack. I have been using this to help buff in my concealer and its fantastic. I apply the concealer using my finger tips and then use this to blend the concealer into my skin and your left with a nice even coverage. Don't think I could live without this brush.<br />
<br />
What do you think of my June favourites? Have you used any of these and what do you think? Let me know :0 xx</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey Guys, usually when I get leaflets in magazines I throw them straight in the bin but this time, when I got leaflets in the recent copy of Cosmo one of them stood out for me. It was a promotion leaflet that gave Cosmo readers a chance to get a free Graze Box.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have seen people at work who have some of these boxes and its always intrigued me but I never gave it much thought. But when I got this leaflet I thought it was a chance to try it out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>So what is a graze box?</u> Graze is a company that send nutritious snacks by post. You are sent 2 boxes a week and you can pick what day you want them to be delivered. It coses £3.75 which I think is very reasonable. The boxes aren't that big, but each box is split into 4 portions which are perfect to carry round with you so you can snack on instead of reaching for that chocolate bar. They have around 100 different foods that you can try and rate. If there's something you fancy and want to try, simply click the try button underneath the picture they will send it to you.</span></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey Guys,</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On
my quest for the best spot treatment, I recently purchased the
Origins Super Spot Remover. Fellow bloggers have raved about how good
it is. I must admit, I have always been put off buying this as
it costs £12 for such a small bottle. I didn't think it was good
value. But after reading the reviews I decided to go for it. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It claims to heal,
fight and fade spots/blemishes fast. As it contains Salicylic Acid it
instantly helps speed healing while anti-spot technology helps
visible correct post blemish darkening. This
ticks 2 boxes that I want a spot treatment to do. It helps fade
blemish marks and helps spots disappear.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ANt7c_y2A3w/T-tnZu0DJRI/AAAAAAAAAgI/2egm3txoeuw/s1600/20120627_192703%5B1%5D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img align="BOTTOM" border="0" height="320" name="graphics1" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ANt7c_y2A3w/T-tnZu0DJRI/AAAAAAAAAgI/2egm3txoeuw/s320/20120627_192703%5B1%5D.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've had two cyst
type spots on my jaw and neck that I've had for a couple of weeks.
I've tired everything to make them disappear but nothing has worked.
I thought this would be the perfect time to test out the Origins Spot
Remover. I did my usual routine, cleansed, toned and moisturise, then
I put a dap of the gel onto my spots.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I have to be
honest, I wasn't holding out much hope but when I woke the next morning
the cyst type spots had gone down in size and redness. I couldn't
believe it. After trying so many treatments to make them disappear I
had finally found something that worked.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I'm not saying
that this makes spots disappear completely, but it defiantly makes
them less angry looking and less smaller.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can fully
understand why bloggers rave about this. I can't believe its taken me
so long to jump on the band wagon :)</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

Origins Super Spot Remover and what have you thought? Let me know :)

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hey Guys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Its that time again when you get a lovely parcel through the post. Its Glossybox time!! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hPRfN8RNYJY/T-DFCDlUAwI/AAAAAAAAAfU/Z8ZfRopkKRU/s1600/20120619_190655.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hPRfN8RNYJY/T-DFCDlUAwI/AAAAAAAAAfU/Z8ZfRopkKRU/s320/20120619_190655.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I always get excited when I get home and see this little box waiting on the side. I don't even say hi to anyone. I open it straight away.<br />
<br />
So what was in my Glossybox this month?<br />
<br />
<b>Glossybox Serie Exclusive Pro Beauty Brush - RRP: £15.00</b> - I do like a Make-Up brush so this will fit in nicely to my current collection. Think this will make a nice blusher brush.<br />
<br />
<b>HD Brows Precision Tweezers - Fullsize - £19.95 - </b>At the moment I currently have Tweezerman tweezers and they do the job nicely but these seem to be the same sort of quality. Always read and hear really good reviews about HD products so looking forward to using these.<br />
<br />
<b>BM Beauty Summer Warmth Bronzer - Fullsize - £8.00 - </b>I haven't ever used any BM products so this is a new one for me. I have also been looking for a bronzer so this kills 2 birds with 1 stone. I get to try a new Make-Up brand and I have a bronzer. Win win!<br />
<br />
<b>Caudalie Eaux Fraiches - Fullsize £26.00 - </b>Big fan of Caudalie products so very happy with this. I got the Zeste De Vigne fragrance. It has a lovely smell. Very fresh and summery. Great to carry round in your handbag.<br />
<br />
<b>Vichy Dermablend Ultra-Corrective Foundation Cream Stick - Fullsize £19.00 - </b>Now this is what I am most excited about. I have been looking at purchasing this foundation stick for the past week to help cover my acne scares/blemishes but wasn't really too sure about the shade. With the starter kit sample I received I get to try all 6 shades!! Can't wait to start using this. Fingers crossed its a winner.<br />
<br />
What do you think of my Glossybox treats? I am really impressed with the products this month. I think so far this has been the best box for me this year.<br />
<br />
Did you get anything nice in your Glossybox this month? Let me know :) xx<br />

<br />
Hope everyone is having a good week? Really wish the weather would improve. Hate all this rain :(<br />
<br />
Its that time again when Boots are handing out the £5 off voucher on No7 products. I've never really bought any No7 products before so when I get given these I always struggle to use them. At the moment I have 4 vouchers and this time I'm determining to use them.<br />
<br />
After looking online and in store at the No7 counter, I've seen afew products that I think might be worthy of me spending my voucher. These are;<br />

<br />
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend? Can't believe how much the weather has changed in the past couple of weeks. The other week we were having lovely sunny days and now you can't go out without ending up looking like a drowned rat!!!<br />
<br />
So to cheer myself up because of all the bad weather, I have treated myself to afew little treats.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xd7Ow1YiUQs/T9TZDHPdWVI/AAAAAAAAAd8/wKTx-B2gBkI/s1600/20120610_181415%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xd7Ow1YiUQs/T9TZDHPdWVI/AAAAAAAAAd8/wKTx-B2gBkI/s400/20120610_181415%5B1%5D.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Estee Lauder Daywear Oil-Free Moisturiser</u> - I love the non oil-free version of this moisturiser but as I have oily/combination skin, it didn't really do anything for my skin. When I saw that they had released an oil-free version I knew I had to have it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Oil Free </u>- This is a product I've had on my wish list for a while. It is quite expensive and alot more than I would normally pay for a primer but its gets such good reviews and awards its something that I knew I had to have. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Oil Free</u> - As its getting towards summer and hopefully nice sunny weather, I don't really want to wear a full face of foundation. After reading reviews on what tinted moisturiser was best this came out top. And being oil free its perfect for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Garnier Pure Active Spot-On Roll-On and Origins Super Spot Remover</u> - I've been experimenting recently on different spot treatments. These are the latest ones to add to my collection. The Garnier Spot-On Roll-On claims to help fight spots and fade marks. The Origins Super Spot Remover always gets good reviews from other bloggers so I thought I would give it a go. Plus it comes in a cute little bottle :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>MUA Love Heart Lip Balm</u>s - When I first saw these released afew months back I wanted them straight away. Unfortunately, every Superdrug I went into never ever had them. Finally when I was in Manchester the other week I popped into Superdrug and there they were. I think I actually ran, picked them up and went straight to the till. Only trouble is I think they are too nice to use!!!</div>

<br />
After reading so many blogs rave about the Bioderma solution I thought I would try it out myself and see what the fuss was all about.<br />
<br />
One of the main reason's why I wanted to give this ago was that I want to try and improve my skincare routine. Usually to remove my Make-Up I just use the Simple face wipes. I know some people will think this is the worse thing ever and I can understand where they're coming from but I just find them quick and easy to use. I do feel that these don't really bring anything to my skincare routine so I am willing to try out new products and improve my skin. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dzu9WHo5PMo/T8vdKS2PNKI/AAAAAAAAAbs/Jid95SLwrWM/s1600/20120603_225122%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dzu9WHo5PMo/T8vdKS2PNKI/AAAAAAAAAbs/Jid95SLwrWM/s320/20120603_225122%5B1%5D.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Now instead of going for the Bioderma solution with the pink top which alot of people have gone for, this is the one suitable for sensitive skin, I decided to choose the Bioderma solution with the green top which is suitable for combination or oil skin. As I wasn't too sure how my skin would react to this I decided to get the 100ml size as a tester. I ordered this from <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bioderma-Sebium-H2O-Micellaire-Solution-100ml-Travel-size-Micellar-/200708987493?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Skincare_PP&hash=item2ebb301a65#ht_1532wt_1037">ebay</a> for £8.25, which included postage. I can't recommend this ebay seller enough. I ordered this on a Friday and by Monday I had the product in my hands.<br />
<br />
<u>What it claims</u><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Bioderma innovation, </span><span style="text-align: left;">Sébium H2O</span><span style="text-align: left;"> gently cleanses the skin without drying it, through the micro-emulsion of impurities and excess sebum.</span>
<br />
<u style="text-align: left;">How to use</u><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Soak a cotton pad with </span><span style="text-align: left;"></span><span style="text-align: left;">Sébium H2O</span><span style="text-align: left;"> and cleanse your face. Repeat the application until the cotton pad remains clean.</span>
<br />
<u style="text-align: left;">What I think</u><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">All I can say is WOW. I can see why people love this. Its absolutely amazing. I started using this the night I got it and the next morning I could see an improvement in my skin. I've had a couple of spots that have been under the skin for a while and since using this they have disappeared. It usually takes about 3-4 cotton pads to remove all my Make-Up. Once I have removed my Make-Up my skin feels so clean and refreshed. My skin glows. I have definitely been converted from using facial wipes. Once I have used my 100ml version I will be buying the 500ml bottle without hesitation.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">If you haven't tried any of the Bioderma solutions then you must. I can't recommend them enough :) xx</span><br />

<br />
Hope everyone is enjoying the start of the 4 day break? Just a shame that the lovely sunny weather has gone :(<br />
<br />
Here are my favourite products for May<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gbmFT0BMcjA/T8pgJWFRY5I/AAAAAAAAAbg/jkBVhYVog7o/s1600/20120602_184339.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gbmFT0BMcjA/T8pgJWFRY5I/AAAAAAAAAbg/jkBVhYVog7o/s400/20120602_184339.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control 3-in-1 daily cleansing lotion</u> - This used to be a staple in my skincare routine last year and I don't know why I stopped using it. For the past few months my skin has been up and down. Since I have started using this again my skin has calmed down alot and I only get afew spots now compared to what I was getting. A must have for blemished prone skin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Simple rapid action spot zapper</u> - When I got get a spot this is my go to spot treatment.I apply this to the spot on a night and by morning is has reduced in size and made the redness has disappeared. And as its a Simple product its kind to your skin wrong dry it out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>MAC Select Cover Up Concealer</u> - I have been experimenting with different concealers recently but have found myself going back to my reliable MAC concealer. Its light-weight, provides good coverage and easy to blend. I actually feel guilty for trying to replace it. This concealer is now back in my Make-Up bag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Estee Lauder Idealist Pore Minimizing and Advanced Night Repair</u> - Really can't explain how since using this two products they have improved the condition of my skin. I feel that if I don't use these my skin actually misses them. I will be doing a more in depth review of these soon so keep a look out for that. They are definitely worth the money. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Hey Guys,<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a great weekend and enjoying the lovely sunshine? Fingers crossed it stays like this for my little trip to Manchester later in the week.<br />
<br />
If you remember a week ago I stated to use the cor silver soap as my skin has just been awful recently. I had heard good reviews about this product but I didn't want to get my hopes up so I started using this with an open mind.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EWga7gYxpCM/T7a2FTxVf7I/AAAAAAAAAYk/RoQWseZp-ZU/s1600/2012-05-18+21.13.53.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EWga7gYxpCM/T7a2FTxVf7I/AAAAAAAAAYk/RoQWseZp-ZU/s320/2012-05-18+21.13.53.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I purchased the 10g (trial size) and I have been using this morning and night for the past week and I probably have another week and a half left of the soap. I would definitely recommend that if you're wanting to try this then get the trial size to make sure this is for you.<br />
<br />
I was worried at first using this as I have found some soaps really dry out the skin but this isn't like your normal soaps. This contains ingredients which helps even out the skin tone, reduces the appearance of sun spots and pore size.<br />
<br />
I lathered up the soap and massaged it into my skin. I carefully worked it into the area which is causing me the most concern, my chin and jaw. For best results it recommends that you leave the soap on your skin to settle and soak in for about a minute . I did this morning and night. After I had used the cor I followed with toning and moisturising.<br />
<br />
<u>The Results</u><br />
Hmmm, I have to say I am still on the fence about this. Since using it I have found that I haven't been getting as many spots, but I'm still getting some. The spots I did have before using this have reduced in size but haven't really disappeared. And I haven't really seen an improvement in my skin tone.<br />
<br />
I still have some of the cor soap left so I think I will continue to use this until its all gone. I'm still hoping that this will improve my skin but if I can't really see an improvement I don't think I will be re-purchasing and my search for a good cleanser will continue.<br />

<br />
At long last the sun is finally out!!! For the past few days its been so so nice. Its such a shame that I have had to been stuck at work :( Fingers crossed that next when I have a couple of days off its still nice.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9TB3Mr0prIk/T70-GFPENGI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/osX68Rsi9Bw/s1600/sun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9TB3Mr0prIk/T70-GFPENGI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/osX68Rsi9Bw/s1600/sun.jpg" /></a></div>
Unfortunately, cos of the nice sunny weather this has had an effect on my skin. Its been getting oily and my Make- Up been looking like it will slowly slide off. So to help with the oil I have been using the Kleenex Absorbing Sheets.<br />
<br />
These are quite new on the market. I bought these a while ago when they were on offer in Tesco. Usually they retail at £2.99. They claim to "dab away excess oil and keep your make-up intact". They come in a nice little pack so they can easily be carried around in your Make-Up bag. You don't get your usual bland boating sheets. These ones are cute purple sheets. You get a nice flowery design on one side and a plain side (which is the side you use to blot your skin) on the other.<br />

<b><u>What do I think?</u></b><br />
I applied my Make-Up and cycled to work (I'm trying to be healthy and save money) When I got to work I could feel the oil/sweaty feeling on my skin. I dreaded looking at the state of my face. I looked in the mirror and my Make-Up up appeared OK. God bless you Double Wear!! But my skin did looked oily/sweaty. So I stated blotting my face with paper. These wipes made the oiliness disappear and made my skin loot matt again. After a couple more daps my skin was back to looking normal.<br />
<br />
I was really impressed with this bloting sheets. I have always been abit unsure about blotting papers and thought that they were a waste of money. But after trying these I would definitely recommend that you use them. Especially now that the weather is getting nicer.<br />
<br />
Have you tired these or any other blotting papers? What have you thought of them? Let me know :) xx<br />

Hey Guys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I can’t tell you how
long I have wanted this. Everytime I went into the dept store I used
to test every single shade to find the one that suited me. I had
heard such great reviews about how it covers acne scares, nasty
sports and redness and I wanted it.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sP04_ByRQGE/T7lW7P2S6JI/AAAAAAAAAaE/td1jvfaGmM8/s1600/2012-05-20+19.37.00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sP04_ByRQGE/T7lW7P2S6JI/AAAAAAAAAaE/td1jvfaGmM8/s320/2012-05-20+19.37.00.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The other month Estee
Lauder had a bonus time and I thought to myself that if I don’t get
it now I never will. So I went along and I picked up another bottle
the double wear foundation (my HG foundation) and asked the SA lady
to help me with the colour for the maximum cover . First of all she asked me with a worried tone if
I was going to be using it as a foundation. I assured her I was just
going to use it as a concealer to help with my blemishes as I wanted
something that had abit more coverage and staying power. She relaxed
and then tested some of the colours on me. The one I went for
was creamy vanilla.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I couldn’t wait to
start using this. As soon as I got home I put some of it straight
onto the problem areas. (I have some scars on my jaw/chin.
Everytime I get spots here they have been leaving scars <span style="font-family: Wingdings;"></span>)</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<u>What it Claims</u></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">"Soothing, natural-looking, liquid-creme makeup for concealing all skin imperfections, including surgical and acne scars, birthmarks, sun spots and varicose veins."</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<u>What I think</u></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I have to be honest and
it breaks my heart to say but im disappointed in this. From the hype
I was expecting miracles. It covered my scares and spots OK but I
think I could find a better alternative concealer on the high street and for a
lot cheaper. This costs £26.50 which is quite expensive and for paying
that much I would want it to do the job. Unlike my other concealers
where I can build up the coverage without it looking cakey, you can’t
do that with this. If you apply more that one layer you’re left
with this awful cakey finish. Not nice. If you do apply more of the
product to your face I found it really had to blend. It seemed to dry
quite quickly. And never use this over dry skin. It will look
horrible and it will leave you with flaky skin!!!!!!!!</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<u>Will I buy again</u></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I don’t think I will
buy this again. I think there are other alternatives out there that
will do the job better and for more that half the price. I am glad I
bought it as I had always wanted to try it. It’s just a shame that
it didn’t live up to my high expectations.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
