A long time ago, I was tagged by my best friend <a href="http://www.sabrinaharriet.com/2014/05/tag-five-product-face.html" target="_blank">Sabrina</a> to do the five product face tag. I did it, but never posted it because I'm rubbish like that. But I did it again and here I am posting it. The first time I did, it wasn't that hard as at the time I was basic when it came to make up. Since then, my make up bag has evolved quite a bit. I think I did well creating a look that I like using such limited products. So here goes!<br />
<br />

<br />
I started with MAC's pro longwear foundation in NC20. I've been using MAC foundation for almost a year, although I still prefer Clarins. I usually use a Studio Fix powder over the top to give a matte appearance but with limited products I'm making do with just a liquid foundation for this. I also skipped using a primer.<br />
<br />

<br />
I never used to shade in my brows, but now I do I can't imagine not doing them. I've been using the Benefit Brow zings brow palette in light. I don't usually use the pigmented wax, it all depends on how dark I want my brows to look. For this, I just used the powder.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
For my eyes, I used Rimmel gel liner and a Mac mascara. The mascara is just a sample of the false lashes extreme black. I like it, but prefer either Too Faced's better than sex or Max Factor's False lash effect. The gel liner is by far my favourite. I'm alternating between this one and the Benefit They're Real eyeliner.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
To finish, I used a classic red lipstick. This is MAC's Russian red. I love red lipstick, it's a classic colour that I find works for most looks, especially since I've been blonde again! I used a lip brush to apply it rather that putting it straight onto the lip<br />
<br />

<b>Clarins: Exfoliating Body Scrub</b><br />
I believe this was part of a "free gift" that Clarins were giving during a promotion. I'm a sucker for a free gift! I did like this product but not enough to buy separately. The scrub was quite fine so I personally didn't feel like it was doing much. Not bad for a freebie though, it retails at £29!<br />

<b>Benefit: Porefessional</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a staple item in my make up bag. I never apply foundation without it. As you can see, I wanted to make sure i got every bit out of the tube! This is usually priced at £24.50 but it's well worth the money. My pores are a lot less visible and my skin has a more matte appearance. My foundation applies much smoother when I'm wearing porefessional.</div>

<b>L'oreal: Skin Perfection Micellar Water</b><br />
If you're lazy with skin care like me, this is the perfect product for you. It removes make up, cleanses & tones all in one. Just apply a small amount to cotton wool and wipe over your face. Would I buy it again? Possibly. This is a relatively new addition to my skin care routine so I'm still testing different brands to find my favourite and so far this is my favourite.<br />

<b>Imperial Leather: Marshmallow shower cream</b><br />
Who doesnt want to smell like marshmallow after a shower? Imperial leather have a rather of shower creams with the scent of some popular sweets including fruit salad and sherbet lemon. This scent oddly reminds me of that typical baby scent. I'll definitely be buying this again!<br />
<br />
Have you used any of these products? Let me know! <br />

<br />
My skin care is a bit of a hit and miss. I'd like to say I'm really good at remembering to take my make up off every night but I'm not. So this is what I do actually try to do.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When I do remember to take my make up off and I'm feeling a bit lazy, I use a face wipe to remove as much of my make up as I can. I'm not too fussy when it comes to face wipes. I tend to buy whatever is on offer at the time. Currently I've been using Superdrug's cleansing face wipes for combination skin. Once most of my make up is removed, using a cotton wool pad, I use Micellar water to cleanse and tone. I may repeat this a few times until I feel all my make up is gone. At the moment I'm using Garnier's Micellar cleansing water for combination & sensitive skin. My skin can be quite oily at times, then dry at others. I try to use products designed for combination skin where I can.<br />

<br />
If I'm feeling less lazy or my skin needs a good cleanse, I use my Lab sonic face brush with Neutrogena's visibly clear pore & shine face scrub. The scrub is designed to minimize pores and give the skin a more matte look. I use my face brush to really exfoliate the skin and give my face a good deep cleanse. When I'm really on top of my skin care and have used my face brush a few days in a row, I really notice how clear and fresh my skin is. Ideally, I should be using the brush twice daily but who has time for that? The brush comes with a set of attachments including one to help apply moisturiser.<br />

Once a week, usually a Sunday night whilst I'm cleaning my make up brushes, I like to give my skin a treat. I use this quick fix facial mask for oily & spot prone skin. It comes in a tube with approximately 10 facials in. You can use what you need and then put it way until you need it again. Then I use a nose pore strip to clean out my pores across my nose as I find I always get little blackheads across there.Then, after all that I use micellar water on my face to finish.<br />
<br />
I'd love to be better when it comes to all this but I'm just too lazy. But it does feel nice when I keep on mictop of it to know my skin is getting some TLC!<br />

I've found a way to make them syn free, and it's super easy. Everyone I've made them for loves them, I even made them for Christmas dinner!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>You will need</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Potatoes (I find Charlotte potatoes work best)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunflower fry light/Low calorie cooking spray</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Garlic fry light/Low calorie cooking spray (optional)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sea salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pepper (optional) </div>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Peel & chop the potatoes to the desired size. I find just halving them works great.</li>
<li>Par boil them for approximately 7 minutes in slightly salted water.</li>
<li>Drain the potatoes and give them a good shake in the colander to rough up the edges. (You can put them to one side until you're ready to cook or just continue)</li>
<li>Spray a baking try with sunflower fry light and lay the par boiled potatoes on the train. Spray more sunflower fry light to coat the potatoes. I choose to spray a light coating of garlic fry light for flavour. You could use ground up garlic or any herbs you choose.</li>
<li>Sprinkle sea salt and pepper to season. </li>
<li>Bake for 45 minutes at 190 degrees (this is in a fan oven so increase times and temperature to suit your oven).</li>
<li>Give them a shake half way through so they cook evenly. Cook until they are nice and crispy!</li>
</ol>
I use this same recipe to make wedges. Like me, you can experiment with herbs and seasoning. My favourite so far is garlic & herbs.<br />

On the evening of 1st of July 2015, I found myself sitting in a full school canteen, not knowing anyone, about to join Slimming World. For a very long time I had complained about my weight, and how I wanted to slim down. I tried calorie counting, cutting out crisps & sweets, exercise and what felt like everything else. A new group had opened nearby and after putting it off for a few months, I dragged myself along. I was greeted with lots of friendly, smiley faces who showed me who I needed to speak to in regards to joining.<br />
<br />

A month into my journey, and a little over a stone lighter, I was nominated for our group's woman of the year. A teary speech later I was crowned the winner. I was in utter shock. I didn't really think people noticed me. I often sat at the back, on my own. A few weeks in, I started talking to one lady, who now happens to be one of my lifelines.<br />

I've now been on my journey for around 7 months. At my last weigh in, I had lost 3 stone 1 pound. Before Christmas I had lost 3 stone 10.5 pounds, but like most people I over indulged. I've struggled to get back on plan and with my Dad's recent passing, it's been tough.<br />

I love Slimming World and recommend it to everyone. I still get to eat naughty meals like burgers & chips, and have chocolate every day. I aim to blog more about my journey and share some tips and recipes for those also following plan. If you're also a Slimming Worlder, feel free to share some of your favourite recipes, snacks or any tips you've found to be helpful.<br />

<br />
Welcome to 2016. Here I am again, promising to myself that I'll keep up this blogging thing again. I do feel however that this time, I might actually do it.<br />
<br />
2016 started off awfully for me with my father suddenly passing away. So, I guess the year can only get better from here. There are many things I aim to achieve this year, including FINALLY moving, running a 5k and continuing my slimming world journey and hitting my target weight.<br />
<br />
I aim to document the progress on each of my goals throughout the year, in the hope that someone on the same journey on me will be able to relate. Maybe we could become friends and support each other. Who knows!<br />
<br />
My other plans for this blog this year are to write about my favourite hair & beauty products, share any tips & tricks I use and maybe the odd thrifty idea I pick up along the way.<br />
<br />
Whatever happens with this blog this year, I hope that someone out there enjoys it!<br />
<br />
Let's do this!<br />

Hi!</div>
<br />
Here we are again! A little longer than I had planned since the last post but oh well! I have several posts ready for you so bear with me! Let's focus on this one for now!<br />
<br />
This evening I returned from a brief trip to London to see Blink 182 at one of two shows they were playing at the O2 Academy in Brixton. It was an amazing night, far more than I imagined!<br />
<br />
Here's a few pictures from the 26 odd hours I spent in the capital.<br />

The support act were a band from Glasgow called Prides who pleasantly surprised me. I've downloaded a few of their songs already and I suggest you do the same! If you're a fan of bands like Arcade Fire and the 1975 the you should like Prides.</div>

I didn't take many pictures throughout the night. You know what it's like when you get caught up in the moment and forget! The set list was a great mixture of old & new, including an off-set-list song performed completely in the dark! The show was just amazing from start to finish. Despite the flaming curse word blazing on stage it was definitely a family affair. Either side of the stage in the wings sat the bands children and wives. At the end of the show, Travis Barker's children took it upon themselves to throw drumsticks, stickers, balloons and sweets into the crowds. </div>

<br />
I recently went on a bit of a shopping spree and invested in a few new beauty products, some of which I have used before either in full size or sample.<br />
<br />
Boots were holding a points event which is always a little bit tempting for me! Part of the event was 500 points when you purchased two premium beauty products. A while ago I purchased Clarins Hydra-Matte Lotion which is part of their oil control range. My skin is oily in a few areas which is referred to as combination skin, so this product was a must have for me. After using it for a few days I started to notice my skin was less oily and my foundation was appearing a lot smoother. I apply it to my skin after cleansing and before applying makeup. When I originally purchased it, I was a little put off by the price but I had been given a sample a while before so I knew it was worth the money at £26.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqlxXvtxVl6EefQdvtFcB5SsPxJHrOSeyaEtyiouieWTLNfeSL4xXc0ZetZILeXBil3Nwcw6OdkZXwU5rXPu1UcSCa-oyxoNiNa3LeGQePrd84DXcpmLMSiW7a-G4J04nE6ZdZC1pwbaZQ/s1600/IMG_6522.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqlxXvtxVl6EefQdvtFcB5SsPxJHrOSeyaEtyiouieWTLNfeSL4xXc0ZetZILeXBil3Nwcw6OdkZXwU5rXPu1UcSCa-oyxoNiNa3LeGQePrd84DXcpmLMSiW7a-G4J04nE6ZdZC1pwbaZQ/s1600/IMG_6522.JPG" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
About a month ago, I received a phone call from the lovely lady at the Clarins counter offering me a free facial as part of an event the brand was holding. At the end of the facial I was given some samples, one of which was their Ever Matte foundation. I've always been an Estee Lauder girl when it comes to foundation so the idea of change was a little daunting. Fortunately for Clarins, my foundation ran out just before payday so I thought I'd give the sample a go, to at least get me through the day. If I'm honest, I was pleasantly surprised. The first thing I noticed was the fragrance. I can't really place what it was, but it was pleasant which is always good. Upon application, the colour was a better match than my previous Estee Lauder, even though I was colour matched when I first purchased. When I asked the boyfriend if he could tell the difference he commented on the more natural appearance and colour it provided. I noticed that I wasn't left with an orange line along my jaw and neck like previously so I figured it ticked every box. After wearing it for the day I knew I had to have it. This is definitely an investment at £27 and you don't need much at all so will definitely last you a while. My shade is 103 Ivory. <br />

<br />
I was recently watching This Morning and they had a make up artist giving tips on the perfect pout. Before applying any make up to the lip, she prepped the lips with a lip scrub. I wasn't really paying attention (as usual!) so didn't catch what brand she was using. I've noticed in the past when applying lipstick, I sometimes get flaky skin, even though my lips don't feel dry. After a little hunt around the city, I came across one in Lush for £5.50. There were three different flavours to choose from; Mint Julips, Bubble gum and the one I chose, Popcorn. I didn't realise till I got home but it has popping candy in so it's fun to apply and tastes amazing. I've used this a few times already and my lips do feel a little softer. I've been applying a little bit of lip balm after each use too.<br />

<br />
As I stated in my previous post, I have already completed one of my aims for the year, which was to get a new job. I hadn't been happy for a while with my job for a number of reasons so felt it was time to change. To start with I had only applied for one job, at a store I am a big fan of. When I saw they were looking for a new full time sales assistant I applied instantly. And to much excitement, I was offered the position and accepted. So, my new place of employment is... Boux Avenue!<br />
<br />
I posted about this store a while ago, <a href="http://livinginamoviescene.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/go-shawty-its-your-birthday-we-gon.html">here</a>, and since then, my love of the store has grown. It's the only place I shop for lingerie now and always recommend it to other ladies. I've been working there since late January and have loved every moment of my time so far. <br />
<br />
Part of my job is to provide a bra fitting service to ladies which I absolutely love. It's more than just measuring ladies and letting them know their size. It's like personal shopping for them. I've learnt so much about good and bad fitting bra's and it's fantastic to be able to advise ladies and help them find the perfect fitting bra. We all know what a difference good fitting lingerie makes!<br />
<br />
I also recently invested in a new laptop (finally!) so can get back to regular blogging. I have several post ideas swirling round my head so will get those to you as soon as I can. I've been tagged by my bestie Sabrina (find her blog <a href="http://sabrinaharriet.blogspot.co.uk/">here</a>) so will be responding to that soon! <br />
<br />
I apologize to those who actually take an interest in my blog and have missed my posts but let's try this again!<br />
<br />
See you again soon!<br />

Why not be the same, just improved?<br />
<br />
Either way, things are changing for me. I don't do resolutions, I only end up breaking them. So instead, I set myself aims for the year. It seems much less daunting and more reachable. <br />
<br />
One thing I aim to achieve this year is to drop a dress size or two. I currently wear around an 18 or 20, and ideally would like to be a 14 but the end of the year. I know it's going to be alot of hard work and commitment but I feel that this time I'm ready to give it my all. I'll document my progress here, so if like me, you've opted for a healthier lifestyle, please share tips and tricks so we can do this together!<br />
<br />
I stumbled across this quote a while ago but never really noticed how true it was, but I've been constantly repeating it to myself and so far, positive things have happened!<br />

<br />
I'm becoming one of those annoyingly positive people, trying to find the tiniest positive in everything. But it truly is working for me. I've already completed one aim for the year, which you'll find out what that is soon! But until then, thanks for reading!<br />

<br />
I know, I know. I've been a gone a while but this year things are going to change.<br />
<br />
Already this year, things are going amazingly. I set myself a list of aims for the year, one of which I've already completed (I will explain more soon). I'm getting my backside in gear and getting back to this blogging thing, even if it means preparing posts in advance at every opportunity I get.<br />
<br />
I'm doing some shopping next week and buying supplies for some diy fashion bits & bobs so will blog those, and lots of other haul posts too! <br />
<br />
I know this has been short and sweet but it's just the beginning of something beautiful!<br />
<br />
See you soon!<br />

<br />
For those who don't know, a week ago today was my 22nd birthday! My brother's birthday is the day before so as a joint celebration, the family assembled went for dinner at a local 60's themed restaurant called Sgt Peppers. Following that, with my boyfriend, best friends and their boyfriends, we hit the town!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was a bit rubbish and didn't really take any pictures of my outfit, but here's a sort of what I wore:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKjRR7KEPIgNX1QE384Ma0NyWF3miBDsSy77uVQUZCc0E1qozwqzS0LejpcNUXsWUwNozSP-M9WZHAcwGNYAMMu201VbKzVewryAXO0ZZn-FuQmmjdPrM3SNJj6EvnN-WY8AiyFOZs_7WM/s1600/dress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKjRR7KEPIgNX1QE384Ma0NyWF3miBDsSy77uVQUZCc0E1qozwqzS0LejpcNUXsWUwNozSP-M9WZHAcwGNYAMMu201VbKzVewryAXO0ZZn-FuQmmjdPrM3SNJj6EvnN-WY8AiyFOZs_7WM/s320/dress.jpg" width="176" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This dress is from New Look. I bought it especially for the occasion, and I love it! I feel comfortable in it, especially because of the length. With shorter dresses I feel like I'm always pulling it down, but this dress sits just past my knees and looks great.</div>
<br /></div>

From the boyfriend I received two bags of sweets, two bottles of Cava, Cath Kidston Oyster card holder, Marc Jacob's Daisy Handbag perfume, Book, Marc Jacob's watch and a giant Millie's cookie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the best friends, I got Nicki Minaj's perfume 'Pink Friday' which I adore! For a celebrity scent, its surprisingly nice! I find some celebrity scents are very strong and sweet smelling but this is very different.</div>

<br />
Apologies for my absence, but I'm still laptop-less and struggling to find another one to use so am resorting to iPad blogging.<br />
<br />
During my absence, there has been some changes put in motion that I have missed. Something to do with google friend connect being removed? If someone could fill me in on this, that would be lovely!<br />
<br />
So anyway, on with the bloggings.<br />
<br />
I'm blogging on the last night of my week off work, a week off that was well overdue. I spent the majority of the week in London with the boyfriend. The main purpose of the trip was to watch a football match between the team we work for and another team. We also met up with a friend from America who was in town at the same time. The trip consisted of several Nando's visits, an adventure around Camden and it's markets and numerous visits to Westfield Stratford City.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTj8bGZxgxBld49lRmBJXoOY7xxjewtA0GOCp_Hs7Wjsj6i5DxUWXIxuw4o-nQ8GhPmOwtQ37sb1wvHkik5ZU2CvGkN7m_T21ZApwYefrujkCOi9nglkpFrobVnxFKcetbHa0gtv6JSBXW/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTj8bGZxgxBld49lRmBJXoOY7xxjewtA0GOCp_Hs7Wjsj6i5DxUWXIxuw4o-nQ8GhPmOwtQ37sb1wvHkik5ZU2CvGkN7m_T21ZApwYefrujkCOi9nglkpFrobVnxFKcetbHa0gtv6JSBXW/s200/image.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>
<br />
Unfortunately, the trip didn't go as smoothly as we had hoped it would. To start with, I had a horrible cold and cant go 5 minutes without coughing my guts up. Thirty minutes before we were due to catch our train to London, my card was declined as we attempted to pay for snacks for the journey. This then lead to me finding out my PayPal account had been hacked several days before leaving me with next to no money for the next few days. Thankfully, the boyfriends mum was on hand to save the day. Fast forward to the next morning; we attempt to have a shower to start the day and we have no hot water. Later that day, I break a tooth eating a sausage roll and have to call my dentist for an appointment.<br />
<br />
We were staying in the docklands area and for us to get to a tube station we needed to get the docklands light rail, and our stop was part of a part closure on the line for 2 days for engineering works. And with no visible signs instructing us what to do, we were left to figure out what to do, thankfully a bus replacement turned up moments later. However, the next day they decided that they couldn't serve that stop because of a crane that had been there the day before. So thanks to a kind stranger letting us know, we walked to the next stop and caught a bus from there.<br />
<br />
On the same day, a cold sore appeared on my lip, just to really top things off. Thankfully, the next day, normality was restored on the DLR and I received an email from PayPal informing me I would get all my money back.<br />
<br />
Since returning from our trip, all the money has been placed back in my account and I'm starting to feel human again! I think the girls night with the boyfriend may have helped! Candles, face masks, Mean Girls and munchies were all on the agenda.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
Before I go, I'd just like to say that all my thoughts are with anyone affected by the recent incidents in Boston and Texas.<br />
<br />
That's all for now, when I get a chance I'll post the overdue March instagrams and will hopefully have April's on time!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading, see you again soon!<br />

<br />
I'm so so so sorry I've neglected this again. I've been having trouble getting to a laptop and have had writers block. But I've had a breakthrough, so here I am. I'm attempting this from my iPad so fingers crossed!<br />
<br />
A few days ago, I made the decision to get my bum in gear and do something about the issue I have with my weight. This then fuelled the idea to make a 'to-do list for the year' which I thought I would share a little with you.<br />
<br />
One thing I aim to achieve this year is to be healthier. I recently started taking multi-vitamins which seems to be helping a little. I'm also joining the gym and starting to eat a little healthier. I have a few goals I'm working towards. My aunty is getting married in October so I'd like to find a gorgeous dress and feel comfortable and confident in it. As I properly get going with my healthier regime, I'll post my progress on here and let you know how it's going! If any of you are taking up a healthier lifestyle for the new year, let me know and we can support each other! It's easier with a buddy!<br />
<br />
Another aim is to save money which is something I've never been good at. I'm an impulse buyer and find myself spending a few quid here, a couple of quid there and not thinking about the fact that it all adds up. I want to start saving to move out, go on holiday, learn to drive and just to have some money behind me.<br />
<br />
Something I've been trying to do for a while is grow my nails. I used to bite my nails alot when I was younger which has kind of ruined them now. I don't bite them so much these days unless something is bothering me. I've started to take hair, skin and nail supplements as well as multi vitamins and so far they seem to be working. They're growing a little faster and don't feel as weak as before. I'll give it a couple more months of taking them before I really make a judgement on how well they work.<br />
<br />
That's just a few of the items on my list. If you've made a similar list, share some of your aims :)<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading, I'll try my best to blog again soon!<br />
<br />
Bye bye!<br />

<br />
If you don't know, one of my favourite make up brands is Seventeen at Boots. I love their products because they're great quality, and they're purse friendly. I use several of their products in my day to day make up, and own a wide variety of shades of their nail polishes.<br />
<br />
On this months monthly voyage to Boots for supplies, I took a look at the Seventeen stand and treated myself to a few new goodies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
(L-R)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Supreme Shine Lipstick in Day-glo & Barely Blush £4.99 each</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doll'd Up Mascara in Black £6.29 each</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doll'd Up 3 Way Liquid Eyeliner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nail polishes in Glisten, Fury & Potion £2.99 each</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Okay, so let's start with the lipsticks. I've only used one so far, Day-glo, and I love it! It's such a gorgeous colour and so easy to apply! I've found with some lipsticks (not Seventeen), that during application the colour goes a bit patchy and uneven, but this one went on straight away and evenly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Doll'd up mascara is a new release in the brand. I bought one and was saddened that there was none of the free with purchase 3 way liquid eyeliners left. But being eager to purchase, bought anyway and then bought another when there were more eyeliners. I adore this mascara. I find with other mascaras that they make my eyes itchy, but not with this one. The brush is an anti-clump brush and does exactly that. It's also curved to make application easy and gives the lashes a curl! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've only used one of the polishes so far, and that was Potion. It's a two tone polish, with tones of green and gold. As with all other 17 polishes, I was very pleased with this one. The colour is gorgeous and it dries quickly, as the bottle promises!</div>

Happy February!<br />
<br />
I have seen a few other blogs to Instagram posts, and came up with the idea of a monthly round up. It's a bit of a cop out post while I work on more exciting ones, but it's still a post. My Instagram has been a bit dull this month, but I'll improve for the next round up.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I thought I would do a little nail tutorial type thing today. I've been inspired by a picture I saw a while ago of Katy Perry's nails.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Katy rocked these nails back in 2009 for the MTV EMAs in Berlin.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">First, I put the gems into the lid of a small box. This was just to keep them all together and prevent a mess! I then painted each nail with one coat of the silver. Once this was dry, I applied a thick layer to the nail I was applying the effect to. I used tweezers to apply the gems to the damp nail. Some nail art kits, like the Andrea Fulerton nail studs, come with a dabber stick, perfect for times like this. Unfortunately, mine has gone walkies.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It took a while to get all the gems on but it was worth it in the end.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you're a regular reader you'll know I love anything nail polish and nail art related. So when I opened my stocking this Christmas, one stocking filler got me very excited!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The stocking in particular was a product by MUA (Make Up Academy) that I had my eye on for a while but never got round to purchasing. What I love about MUA is that their products are great quality and a low price! One of my favourites is their liquid eyeliner, which is just £1!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So anyway, the product that I'm raving about in this post is their Nail Constellation Effects, and the 'shade' I got was Gemini. The best way to describe this product is hundreds and thousands for your nails.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here's how I got on with it...</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvved7EnmU2A6-CwA7XjbEO8fef6wSeWDwYUu_-k93KNEM-ICpVO3FAyA4HrzGe5ifWwA5Jsb7YPDQiVTxGb_7kQsoIg36Zhb3B4lMnsDkPbsWCBW8u_Eb1tubz2khX9SSUhKSEDhYw_V0/s1600/IMG_3926.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvved7EnmU2A6-CwA7XjbEO8fef6wSeWDwYUu_-k93KNEM-ICpVO3FAyA4HrzGe5ifWwA5Jsb7YPDQiVTxGb_7kQsoIg36Zhb3B4lMnsDkPbsWCBW8u_Eb1tubz2khX9SSUhKSEDhYw_V0/s320/IMG_3926.JPG" width="238" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For the base, I used Barry M shade number 334, Teal.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I then gave each nail a coat of Teal.When that was dry, the nail I decided to put the effect on was given a thick coat of Teal. For the application, I used a tip my friend suggested, which is to pour some of the beads (as I will refer to them as) into an egg cup, and press the damp nail into the beads.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Admittedly, this is the second time I have used these effects, and last time I poured the effect on and tried to pour the extra back in, making a total mess. This way worked alot better for me.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">With my finger, I pressed the beads firmly into place, and waited for it to dry. This was a good opportunity to give my other nails another coat. When everything was dry, I brushed away any extra beads and was left with a neater nail. When I used these the first time, I put a clear coat over the beads, which made the colour fade abit. I know other people who have done the same thing and had no problems so it may just be my clear coat, and my poo luck!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here's the final result!</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #020202; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A bit of everything, more casual than anything. My main thoughts when shopping are 'Does it fit?' and 'Can I afford it?'</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I would LOVE to live in America, more specifically, New York City, or LA. I'm literally obsessed with America. The food, the way of life, and just the general goings on. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">Before I dive into this post, I thought I would briefly mention a few things. Regular readers may remember that a while ago the lovely Emily nominated me for a </span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Liebsterblog award. Well, one of my newest followers, <a href="http://beautythoughts38.blogspot.co.uk/">Rachael</a>, nominated me too! Her blog is beauty based and a good read! So click her name and it'll take you to it! I'll be posting <span style="font-size: small;">more <span style="font-size: small;">about then and a<span style="font-size: small;">nswering her questions shortly!</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">Secondly, I have seen other blogs offer giveaways for their followers. So I thought that when I reach 100 followers, I would put together a hamper type thing of my favourite products and offer a giveaway. But I'm a long way off so if you're not yet a follower, please do follow! Or if you're already following, please spread the word! I'd appreciatete it very much! :)</span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">Now for the actual post.</span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">The past week or so has been 'one of the weeks' that everyone speaks of starting Saturday of last week... </span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">Picture this, Saturday in a mall, around lunchtime, a busy shop. Just after 12, I'm taking my lunch break when the fire alarm sounds. So we spring to action, evacuating the shop and making our way outside. An hour or so passes as we all huddle together in the cold with other staff members from the mall and customers. Upon making our way back to the shop when all was safe, this is what greeted us in the back corridor.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">To anyone else, it may seem like nothing, but this was not what we wanted to see. You see, our store is located directly below Burger King. To cut a long story short, for a 3rd time, Burger King had a mishap, and the water made its way into our staffroom/stockroom.</span></span>

Thanks to the power being knocked out, (back up emergency lighting in the toilet) we were unable to open again that day, and didn't open till 1pm the next day, losing out on 9 hours trade. Good times!</span></span>

Hope you're all well!<br />
<br />
I have seen a few bloggers post what make up they use and thought that maybe I would do something similar, and came up with the idea of 'today's face.'<br />
<br />
So here we go!<br />

Here is a very bare faced before shot, yikes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I apply any make up, I wipe my face with a cleansing face wipe and moisturise using Simple's light moisturiser. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't usually use Chit Chat eye pencils, my eyeliner of choice is Barry M's kohl pencil, but I lost the one I had and being short of cash turned to Poundland's Chit Chat brand, it does the job but has nothing on Barry M. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Fearne cotton products aren't available to buy separately, which is a shame. I got them from gift sets I purchased in Boots. The eyeshadow base came in The Shimmering Eyes set, and the mascara was in the Fearne's Favourites Hat Box I was given as a gift.</div>

Hope you all had a good one and didn't get too messy! I can't quite believe it's 2013 already! 2012 went too fast for my liking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Every new year, we all sit and moan about how crappy the previous year was. I usually do this but I've spent the past 2 days reflecting on last year and it's made me notice actually how good a year it was and I thought I'd share my memories with you folks!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And the best thing this year... falling in love :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lots of other exciting things happened but I must have been having too much fun to take photos. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I learnt alot about myself this year too. I found a bit of body confidence, something I've been lacking for a long time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think more people need to sit back and look over the past to realise that things aren't as rubbish as they think. Although most of the things I've listed here aren't huge things or anything of any significance, they were still great times.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I hope you all had a great year, I'd love to hear some of your memories! Let's hope this year is even better, and we can review in 12 months.</span></div>

Sorry I haven't blogged in forever! I know I say it every time but I've been a super busy bee. Working in retail at Christmas takes up a lot of time, and when I'm not working I've been wrapping and what not, and when all that is done I'm too pooped to do anything else. But I'm here now, so it's all good. <br />
<br />
I hope you're all happy and healthy and not suffering to much from all the Christmas eating and drinking! I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure I have enough chocolate and sweets to last me until Easter!<br />
<br />
I don't really have a plan for this entry except it being all christmassy so I thought I'd share some pictures I posted on instagram and other snaps I took.<br />

One of my favourite parts of Christmas, after family time, is presents. I love giving presents, knowing the effort and thought I've put into a gift and seeing the look on the persons face when they open it. I also love receiving presents, and this year I was thoroughly spoilt, especially by my boyfriend! I love every single one of my gifts, so anyone who gave me a gift, THANK YOU! </div>

One of my favourite gifts is one that my boyfriend gave me. It's part of the Fearne Cotton range at boots, a range which I'm a little in love with! I got the 'Fearne's Favourite Hatbox' and it's full of delicious smelling goodies!</div>

If you're a regular reader of my blog then you'll know I'm a keen fan of nail art, so I figured I'd get all festive and decorate my nails to suit the occasion.</div>

That's all for now! I swear I'm going to get back into regular blogging. I'll have a sort out and post a haul post of my sale finds, and I'll have a go at reviewing some products. I also have some new nail art treats, so I might do some nail tutorials. If you have any ideas, leave them in a comment! <br />
<br />
Thanks for reading! Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!!<br />
