<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hiii,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The summer is fast approaching and I don't think there is a person in sight who is not anxiously waiting on the sun to finally make it's appearance. Personally, I'm not a fan of long, hot summer days as I absolutely hate lathering on greasy sun cream and feeling sticky, but sun protection is important especially for paler skin tones, like myself, and I can't deny that the sun makes me feel more positive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyway, just because make up on a hot day tends to wear off pretty quickly, doesn't mean we shouldn't bother and I think I may have found my favourite product that will surely be on my cheeks every day of summer. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've had this highlighter for quite some time now and I still adore it just as much as I did when I first bought it. I believe its current retail price is £9 and you can find it in any Topshop store or on their online website.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I bought this highlighter I was new to the whole contouring and highlighting scene and by chance just picked it up in store one day and thought I'd give it a go. It is in cream form and you only need the tiniest bit because the saying 'a little goes a long way' is very relevant for this product. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As you can see I've not even started to reach the bottom of the tub yet and I'd say I've been using this product for about 6 months now. The highlighter is a pearl white colour with tones of purple and pink and looks amazing just above the cheekbone and on the brow bone. I've swatched it along my hand just so you can see how reflective of the sunlight it is. Perfect for summer!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have tried other forms of highlighter since purchasing this product and I just can't seem to find anything that matches it's quality for the same price. Sometimes I even wear this highlighter alone just on my cheeks and I have had so many compliments about how radiant and healthy looking my skin appears. </span></div>

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

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hi everyone, sorry it's been such a long time since I've been on here but my life has went from doing absolutely nothing in the summer to full on studying and just being very active in general. Although being busy is a great thing and you can really get cracking, I've been having trouble just get myself in order.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't know if this is the typical 'student lifestyle' we've all heard so much about, but honestly I cannot for the life of me stop procrastinating. Assignment due in next week? No problem, I'll just watch another four episodes of Gossip Girl.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, I'm calling for help to give myself a good 'ole kick up the bum and start organising my life. Does anyone else get like this? How do you motivate yourself? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'd love to hear and maybe try a few of your techniques out myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks for reading my word vomit,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hello,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Something a bit different for you today. Aside from my love of fashion and beauty another keen interest of mine is reading. Usually when I find an author I like, I read every book that particular author has written, a major example is John Green, I adore that man. Anyway, I had heard alot about thriller books and really wanted to try reading one as I usually read teen/love novels. The most popular thriller book by far at the moment is Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I downloaded Gone Girl on my Kobo reader and to start with I was not exactly "gripped" by the storyline, infact I was a little confused and unsure if I wanted to read more. However, the beginning of the novel starts in a curious way and after deliberating I decided to read on to find out what happens. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With spoilers in mind I will give you a quick run over of the plot without spoiling anything. Basically the novel starts from a man called Nick Dunne's POV and his wife Amy has gone missing. The book then follows the tale of Nick and his dealing with the case of a missing person and perhaps a suspected murder. However there is a twist in the plot as we also hear from Amy's POV through a diary written before her disappearance.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Although the book has a slow start I was plunged well into the plot about a quarter of the book through and began to try and solve the mystery in my head. After reading Gone Girl, I highly recommend you give it a read as not only will it have you shocked by the plot twists but also jumping from who's side of the story to believe. But just to warn you, the ending may be a little bit of a disappointment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Also, another reason to read Gone Girl is because the movie version is due for release in cinemas in October 2014 and stars the very gorgeous Ben Affleck. Here is the trailer, but do NOT watch it if you are trying to avoid spoilers.</span></div>

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

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am finally at the end of my London Fashion Week Favourites with two amazing designers Julien MacDonald, who's artistic work I admire and frequently buy from in Debenhams, and also the one and only Vivienne Westwood. Since this could potentially be a long post I'll get to the good stuff...</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I actually struggled massively with narrowing my favourites from the Julien MacDonald collection as every design is just so beautiful and formal and gives me major heart eyes. This dress is just gorgeous, white is the perfect summer colour and the cherry red almost oriental design across the chest and up the thigh makes all the difference. This is the type of dress that could be worn over and over and still have the same wow effect.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This second dress has pretty much the same kind of style with the dipped mesh front but I can't get enough of the material of this dress, it looks so glamorous and red carpet ready, I absolutely adore the blue small pattern and front opening of the dress, another amazing design and overall collection for Julien MacDonald.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Vivienne Westwood will forever be the designer that brings creativity to it's full potential on the runway and the SS 2015 collection takes avant garde to new heights. One of my favourite designs is the one above as it combine simplicity with radical, and i adore the stripped trousers, definitely a must for next spring.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finally, a darker piece from Westwood, I love the lace detailing and I think it's both gothic and glamorous at the same time, I could see this on red carpets all over the globe for leading ladies who are daring and don't mind dressing a little dark.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hello again,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you hadn't already guessed by the title of this post, I am adding another designer to my LFW SS 2015 Favourites, and this time it's Topshop Unique. I have been a huge fan of Topshop for a while now, all starting with their high street collections and then progressing into their couture collection after watching previous shows at London Fashion Week. I think Topshop always deliver fresh fashion with bold patterns and statement pieces, ready to wear for those who enjoy high fashion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Once again, here is some of my favourite looks from this years SS 2015 collection...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhip-JqbsKqQUBU7vWDfWeQdVPyAWexe1mPZlMlDduyLHhl5GIcHIqK2FfVk49H1XHsA4d4RLo3bVcNJHNt1E4T3iCAQrVGHVlSiUhyVu0Yztz94CqNx3UVOp3Ywoe2sozvDiiswQQhX35S/s1600/228000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhip-JqbsKqQUBU7vWDfWeQdVPyAWexe1mPZlMlDduyLHhl5GIcHIqK2FfVk49H1XHsA4d4RLo3bVcNJHNt1E4T3iCAQrVGHVlSiUhyVu0Yztz94CqNx3UVOp3Ywoe2sozvDiiswQQhX35S/s1600/228000.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This look reminds me of Sandy from Grease, it's very 50's rock and roll and of course the colours red and black bring out a real authentic and classic style. I think the way the designer has matched high waisted black pants with a cropped midi jacket is very flattering and I love the way the sleeves have an unusual shape, definitely one of my absolute favourite looks from this years LFW.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3oJEI5YYklVwaCdPsVU9fA_VoRTChyphenhyphenAtb2y6GXIX__mBL9TC3ORD7RMElan1533zVTYjZaAGuWKSAR15PiP_UeFbzaIz9vH1CoJjUyC0mw-qXa-VfcQlj5Qcjd-CKFAE9mTh5dj3yk7iN/s1600/228003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3oJEI5YYklVwaCdPsVU9fA_VoRTChyphenhyphenAtb2y6GXIX__mBL9TC3ORD7RMElan1533zVTYjZaAGuWKSAR15PiP_UeFbzaIz9vH1CoJjUyC0mw-qXa-VfcQlj5Qcjd-CKFAE9mTh5dj3yk7iN/s1600/228003.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think this look is super girly and chic, I love any top that is off the shoulder I just think they're really classic and bring an almost old fashioned look to the outfit.This look is very playful and the ruffling on the top looks great with the thick leather band at the bottom of the skirt, super cute. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuvBJccbjJDzGg4UUnMxXrzC_wwFPXd3WAAMXuv0QpdZ2qfHaMJJzWrbRy7Xla0S19SgqJ2Vp3ZBMagwRjvaOzoRvXkaDpYiUFaT6Yn1sUWKdQJM6dTvpJC0DlfR5QzNFP4QHdqH1aPlXc/s1600/228010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuvBJccbjJDzGg4UUnMxXrzC_wwFPXd3WAAMXuv0QpdZ2qfHaMJJzWrbRy7Xla0S19SgqJ2Vp3ZBMagwRjvaOzoRvXkaDpYiUFaT6Yn1sUWKdQJM6dTvpJC0DlfR5QzNFP4QHdqH1aPlXc/s1600/228010.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now when I first seen this look I turned my nose up at it to be completely truthful, I didn't like the ruffling of the skirt and thought the shoes were not up to much. However, looking over the collection again, I have completely changed my mind and think this look is perfect for a city-goer in Spring.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUxmuIOeSP5qT3Vh3GQvVT8QxgjN2Rsl_o4PVBa5mrtRWVdAyDqrq9W-11vaxUmzQOVO8Pnj4bTKEwx3PVuj1Bs6zhJs0d-C3POj1qefEyHgO03FRzHaPPfRHHoDxz68oBS0uaukGfDZd8/s1600/228027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUxmuIOeSP5qT3Vh3GQvVT8QxgjN2Rsl_o4PVBa5mrtRWVdAyDqrq9W-11vaxUmzQOVO8Pnj4bTKEwx3PVuj1Bs6zhJs0d-C3POj1qefEyHgO03FRzHaPPfRHHoDxz68oBS0uaukGfDZd8/s1600/228027.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last but almost certainly not least is the gorgeous Cara Delevingne who opened and closed the Topshop Unique show this year. I am a huge fan of Cara and admire the way she can suit any look from grunge to elegant. This dress is floaty and embellished and I couldn't think of anything more suited for hot summer nights, I think the mauve/nude colour of the dress gives it a very girly flare with a reminder of 1920's fashion. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hiiii,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm back with another addition to my "London Fashion Week Favourites SS 2015" with one of my all time favourite British designers who have created classic looks since 1856, alongside the iconic tartan identity. At London Fashion Week it is no secret that Burberry put on a showstopping catwalk to preview their collection not only to the most prestigious names in the Fashion world but also to an ongoing list of famous faces. This year show brought out it's newest Spring/Summer 2015 collection including a heck load of denim, sheer materials and a mass amount of bows, what more could a girl want, i hear you say?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here are a few of my favourites from the collection...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi47yW7IT8QXhSw_og_b5KD9-WWznQsaz9aEUvo6waLXnX7R8iVYbNX0mLsAGcHj2Z2RNV0_BiwDACmbIJXoLKLak-ZODhD8IduQcRfKd3PgNjvajUz37cH5czLcGIZ7KKpnHZDNAvDgtH/s1600/228405.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi47yW7IT8QXhSw_og_b5KD9-WWznQsaz9aEUvo6waLXnX7R8iVYbNX0mLsAGcHj2Z2RNV0_BiwDACmbIJXoLKLak-ZODhD8IduQcRfKd3PgNjvajUz37cH5czLcGIZ7KKpnHZDNAvDgtH/s1600/228405.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I really love the texture of the materials used in this look, making it look clean and classy. The use of really basic nude and white shades make the outfit very fresh and perfect for hot summer nights, I am absolutely obsessed with the collar design and the sheer material on the skirt. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3UupJX7DHeVLIm7lCta89dD0sjpX3CoQ6sYuNPrhTc8SORRLHwXF5R5vnWZ9vXDbjYRhzK9zRJWcT7iABQeASyE1HYUDlHceOaO8KbZKE-iUflgJsHS9B5cwIH9Y7AWemJpI71cuazyhz/s1600/228433.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3UupJX7DHeVLIm7lCta89dD0sjpX3CoQ6sYuNPrhTc8SORRLHwXF5R5vnWZ9vXDbjYRhzK9zRJWcT7iABQeASyE1HYUDlHceOaO8KbZKE-iUflgJsHS9B5cwIH9Y7AWemJpI71cuazyhz/s1600/228433.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I was looking through the collection, this dress was what reminded me of summer the most. I think the ombre colour scheme allows the dress to have an almost floral look to it like lavender or violets. I love how the designer has incorporated blue with the purple, I need this in my wardrobe pronto.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_m4bJrf-8H6sbB_qmAq9dAuPobVxQrYmSFYQ0DXONdYByylnN2uM9NEZ1ydLghwhyphenhyphen06RsozbdsqjmjvcxuO2UBov_Ss6TyoKrjfLU13PMdef1Z7hO8HVx2GU1LCT0k5zOSdaKPahMXZrL/s1600/228446.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_m4bJrf-8H6sbB_qmAq9dAuPobVxQrYmSFYQ0DXONdYByylnN2uM9NEZ1ydLghwhyphenhyphen06RsozbdsqjmjvcxuO2UBov_Ss6TyoKrjfLU13PMdef1Z7hO8HVx2GU1LCT0k5zOSdaKPahMXZrL/s1600/228446.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Aren't the colours of this look gorgeous? I love the bright yellow pieced with a sheer black, both elegant and daring. The plunge line and cut around the pelvic area is definitely for those who don't mind flashing a bit of skin, but can be pulled of delicately with the jacket used by the designer. I <span style="color: red;">♥</span>.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOa-GvJ56RrEK-8h4POvLed9l-FmdTBNfoW_QEC_4tZfsPbBQfOORlwzvaJYIIuEOrTJvdzNwpQSADbdiHVR82py9hgxC7RU9ANULkG24YMMJ4MlT2xwA59KAG8wvVEhi_91dO1PkSESr0/s1600/228449.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOa-GvJ56RrEK-8h4POvLed9l-FmdTBNfoW_QEC_4tZfsPbBQfOORlwzvaJYIIuEOrTJvdzNwpQSADbdiHVR82py9hgxC7RU9ANULkG24YMMJ4MlT2xwA59KAG8wvVEhi_91dO1PkSESr0/s1600/228449.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finally, I found this dress really different from any of the others on the collection and think the modern art approach to this look is to die for. Modern art prints are very in season for next year and just look beautiful with pastel shades like in this look. The bag is a gorgeous and really brings the whole look together with the blue straps matching the sandals, very flattering.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hello,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As London Fashion Week SS 2015 comes to an end and the catwalks are packed away, I decided to look back on some of my favourite looks from international and British designers in the next few blog posts. Although I usually watch the shows live from the catwalk, this year I have been unable as this week has been chaotic with moving home, so looking through websites and social media has been the only options. However, I still really enjoy looking at the new season's patterns and trends for inspiration on outfits and styles. Here is one of my all time favourite designers, and will be followed by a series of LFW posts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I absolutely adore Henry Holland's creative input into the world of fashion, with bright colours and daring patterns to brighten up any designer wardrobe, Holland adds the essence of summer and excitement into his clothes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Hi</span>,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I've been gone for pretty much three months now but I promise it was all for a good reason, I got into my first choice of university, Sheffield Hallam University to study Public Relations, yipee!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Although A levels were incredibly hard and caused a lot of stress, myself and my friends all achieved good grades and are now starting university all over the country. As I live in Newcastle and got into Sheffield Hallam, I had to move out and straight into student accommodation. I moved in over the weekend after a teary goodbye to my family home, here's a little snap...</span></div>

<span style="color: #93c47d;">Hiiii,</span><br />
<br />
Usually my blog consists of everything fashion, beauty and lifestyle but so far I have not posted about my biggest love, music. If you know me personally then you know I will never go a day without listening to at least on song and I tend to play music just to encourage me to do minor tasks such as making a cup of tea or washing the dishes. I thought I would talk about some new music which I adore at the minute:<br />
<br />
1. <b>Leah McFall</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/lzxGnM3qB1U?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
Leah McFall was a runner-up on The Voice UK in 2013 and I absolutely fell in love with her voice. Her voice is very quirky and strong, if you haven't heard of Leah before please check out her cover of "Loving You" by Minnie Riperton, it's quite incredible. Recently, Leah has released her first official single 'Home' featuring her coach on The Voice, Will.i.am, (you can listen above and there is an official video but Youtube wouldn't let me attach it). The song is really catchy and I am obsessed. I wish Leah the best with the song and I really hope she gets the recognition she deserves. Eagerly waiting for the album.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. <b>Cheryl Cole</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/H8tS5UQmNQM?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<b><br /></b>
Cheryl's new song 'Crazy Stupid Love' has me up and dancing whenever I hear it. If summer had a theme tune, then this song would definitely be it. The saxophone during the chorus adds to the almost jazz feel to the song and it's easy lyrics make the song fun to sing and dance about to with friends. Check it out.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. <b>5 Seconds of Summer</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/4pfYCxoAdSI?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
I heard about 5 Seconds of Summer about a year ago when they supported One Direction on the Take Me Home tour and began listening to the songs they had on YouTube like 'Try Hard' and 'Out of My Limit'. Now the boys have became a massive success after "She Looks So Perfect" and I can't get enough of their music. I'm especially loving 'Rejects' off the 'Don't Stop' EP and have linked it above for you all to have a listen. I'm super excited for the album and can see big things heading our way from 5SOS.<br />
<br />
<br />
So there we have it, just a few little updates on what's currently being overplayed on my Spotify at the moment, I've just began listening to X by Ed Sheeran and I was going to include it in the post but I feel like I haven't listened to it enough to have a set opinion yet.<br />
<br />
What music are you listening to at the minute?<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading,<br />
For now,<br />

<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Hey</span>,<br />
<br />
So summer is officially here for me, yipee!<br />
<br />
All my exams are over and now I have so much free time on my hands I just don't know what to do with myself. It's such a dramatic change from having an excess of revision and work to complete to having nothing to do at all that I just can't cope with it. I like to be busy mostly all the time otherwise I get bored very quickly and as I left my job last month for the right reasons, I find myself just slobbing about the house and generally feeling sorry for myself.<br />
<br />
These are the times when I wish I had a hobby like drawing or playing an instrument to keep me occupied but if I'm being completely honest I'm a rather uninteresting individual and I just don't have the talent nor the patience. However, I am trying to lose some weight and exercise more to get fitter and just maintain a bit of a more healthier lifestyle before I go on holiday and university. I'm also attempting to learn a new language over the summer, Mandarin Chinese, which is keeping me busy too.<br />
<br />
What do you do to keep busy? Do you get bored quickly?<br />
<br />
Thanks for listening to my boring rants and I hope you all have a fantastic summer with lots of fun activities. I'll be having a lot more new content coming so watch this space!<br />
<br />
for now,<br />

<span style="color: #c27ba0;">Hi,</span><br />
I'm back again and very promptly too, it must be something in the air.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh01uHn8AG2debvD3RHLd_EGB7A7zOxP6UmJn7Z9So2zybS5QL94z6OuSjEsF_6G6d7GyvLik-YLLHgjDR3ViwFJNsQaqGV5z_CdP2OjX8MLuBwqgn39k_g0ZykQqpRlxhH1b6hKGt7UrUf/s1600/SAM_0648.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh01uHn8AG2debvD3RHLd_EGB7A7zOxP6UmJn7Z9So2zybS5QL94z6OuSjEsF_6G6d7GyvLik-YLLHgjDR3ViwFJNsQaqGV5z_CdP2OjX8MLuBwqgn39k_g0ZykQqpRlxhH1b6hKGt7UrUf/s1600/SAM_0648.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
I recently purchased one of the LUSH lip scrubs as it was a product that just everyone and their mother was talking about. I honestly have enough lip balms/products to last me and absolute lifetime so I don't know why I was so desperate to get my mitts on the popular LUSH product but alas I bought it out of total curiosity.<br />
<br />
I spent a good while in the shop trying to decide between the different flavours, Bubblegum, Popcorn and Mint Julips. I adore anything Mint so Mint Julips was the one for me. I never really understood the use in lip scrubs as they seem slightly harsh for such a sensitive part of the face but I can admit I was a little bit extreme in my expectations and the LUSH products are not rough in the slightest and do leave your lips feeling soft for a little while.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_eerMLQwE_7ipwme46hurHba0ReeT-vimngKxIB4xrl2NzrGhiE74LpdJVgiiO1-i0q4spJqh2H0_tegTra-3JLrZo8lzhPsDaMPdvPUlAsj-EfGZNR-pVCGlEVNufqXf04UhE0Ghyphenhyphenm0O/s1600/SAM_0649.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_eerMLQwE_7ipwme46hurHba0ReeT-vimngKxIB4xrl2NzrGhiE74LpdJVgiiO1-i0q4spJqh2H0_tegTra-3JLrZo8lzhPsDaMPdvPUlAsj-EfGZNR-pVCGlEVNufqXf04UhE0Ghyphenhyphenm0O/s1600/SAM_0649.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
However, as lovely as the scent is and the fun concept of rubbing the scrub onto your lips and licking it off (it's so tasty I almost ate the entire tub), I feel as though my money has been wasted just a bit on a pot of what is essentially mint-flavoured sugar. Of course, if the product is made for lips it has to in some way have natural ingredients but for £5.50 a tub I maybe expect just a little more.<br />
<br />
The product does do it's job by removing dead skin cells on the lips and I usually apply it before lipstick so my lips don't go all nasty in the corners (you know what I mean). Although, I do have to admit I don't think I will be purchasing another LUSH lip scrub in the future.<br />
<br />
You can view the product <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/mint-julips" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
Do you use LUSH lip scrubs? What do you think of them?<br />
<br />
Thanks again m'dears,<br />
Love<br />
Chanel<br />

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

<br />
<br />
Yes, that's right, the absolute beauty that is Cheryl Cole has swan dived (literally) back into the popular culture a circle and the country is obsessed with her again. Not only is the Geordie girl a dazzler but also a major hot topic when it comes to stealing fashion advice in beauty, hair and makeup. Can you remember when every drugstore in the UK ran out of red hair dye all off the back of Cheryl's fling with red hair?<br />
<br />
Cheryl's face may be back in all our magazines and on all the radio stations but I just can't seem to keep my jealous eyes off her fashion moves.<br />
<br />
From wearing Monique Lhuiller on the red carpet of Cannes to the sexy gym customed gym wear in the 'Crazy Stupid Love' music video, it is clear to see why Cheryl as a fashion icon is idolised by women all around the country.<br />
<br />
However, back when we seen Cheryl last her wardrobe seemed crammed with bright summer colours and risky clashes but now we are seeing a new, sophisticated side to her style. Wowing in white, Cheryl's statement colour of this summer is definitely making me consider risking the possible grass stains instead of reaching for neon.<br />

Although Ms Cole does have the money to splash out on expensive high end designers, it is easy to recreate similar looks at home with affordable clothes and still look just as fashion forward. Here is a White Mesh Shift Dress from LoveClothing.com which has a clean and edgy finish with the use of mesh pannel along the top and the sleeves, a little bit like Cheryl wouldn't you think? Also the great thing about wearing white is the endless possibilities of coloured accessories (I'm working up a sweat just thinking about it!)</div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So recently I've been super busy and unfortunately have not been able to get all dressed up and have a good time with my friends. However, last weekend I squeezed on my red dress and slipped on my black heels and headed for the closest bar. I decided that I should probably try the new product I was sent by the lovely girls at 'Coloured Heel Tips' as I'd been dying to try them out but just couldn't find the right opportunity to flaunt them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The tips that are currently on sale at the minute are exclusively in red and black, although the girls are pushing to add more colours to their growing collection. Being a student with a not so high paid job I find buying new shoes for new outfits a chore and to be completely honest I just end up sulking home with no new shoes and putting on the classic black lace ones I love so much. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The tips are quite difficult to take off, and you may need the help of a very strong person with a pair of pliers or a local cobbler to remove your old boring black tips and hammer in the beautiful new red ones. At first, I thought this was a lot more work than what it was worth but after seeing them on my shoes I fell in love. The red just instantly strikes you as something that is very rarely seen in the shoe department and livens up the whole outfit. My shoes are quite small-heeled as seen on the picture and the red tips just add a whole new meaning of life to them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The heel tips are very cheap at £1.50, a complete bargain for an expensive look and can be ordered in different sizes to match the tip of various types of shoes. They can be bought at the website <a href="http://www.colouredheeltips.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.colouredheeltips.co.uk/ </a> so go and have a look. Also on the website is a voting poll for what colours the girls should apply to their collection so please do take the time to vote.</span><br />

<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: x-large;">Hi!</span><br />
<br />
How are you all? It's been a while and I'm starting to feel like all I ever do is work.<br />
<br />
We all know what it's like when the daily grind is just too much and we just want to poke out our hands and jump on the nearest bus to relaxation, but at the minute I just can't seem to relax or take my mind off work.<br />
I'm currently writing this post whilst procrastinating with some A-Level revision which has been playing on my mind. I allowed myself a week off last week to travel, explore and socialize but every night before I fell asleep I'm faced with:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">"I have so much work to do!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">"I'm going to fail my exams!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">"Am I a bad student? Should I quit whilst I'm ahead?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">"Will I ever get into my dream job?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's taken it's toll and I'm starting to lose sleep and quite frankly, the will to live. I know it's the typical student stress that hits us all but I just can't seem to take my mind of it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thank you for reading my ramble, If you have an suggestions to what I can do to just kick back and forget about studying for 5 minutes then please let me know and I will happily take them under my wing. Do you ever find yourself stressed beyond belief? How do you deal with it?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Until next time,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Love,</div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Hi</span><span style="font-size: large;">,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
I received a new and upcoming product in the post last week to test out and inform you lovely people of the magical wonder of beauty products which are yet to blossom in popularity. With the 'Save the Blow Dry' shower caps I can insure you that not only will you spend approximately 90% more time in the bath or shower (not legitimately proven), but you will also cut down on the time wasted of trying to style your hair after a soak.<br />
<br />
If your hair stays perfectly styled after a relaxing bath or shower than your hair is one of a kind and I insist on you sharing your secrets. Unfortunately, for me, that is not the case. I have naturally very curly/wavy frizzy hair when not styled with heat (see below) so when I decided on having a dip, the struggle of having to tame wild frizzly bits and tats is almost off putting. Cue embarrassing old photo...<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh dear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The shower cap is like no other. The product has a absorbent towel on the inner layer with a water proof layer over the top, therefore trapping all humidity and condensation which would usually make you hair explode into a mass of frizz. I worried at first about the cap fitting as I have ALOT of really thick hair, but alas the cap is actually quite large and fit perfectly with all my hair tucked away. I've used this product several times now and have yet to be disappointed, my hair looks great and also doesn't get greasy as quickly. I love the retro turquoise, it's very appealing and the patters are super cute, urgh I love!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This product can be bought at <a href="http://savetheblowdry.com/">http://savetheblowdry.com/</a> for £14.95, and comes in a cute pink bow design also. Give it a look!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, someone has been away for a while.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, not intentionally, that person is me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been thinking about my blog alot recently and the cobwebs that it must be collecting without a new post but to be quite honest, I've been absolutely swamped by work. Who knew A-Levels held so much responsibility and effort?! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But behold, a new promise that this time i must keep, I am going to majorly work on improving this blog from here on out. The summer has some very promising post ideas and I can't wait to share and hear the best beauty routines and outfits to wear when the sun appears from behind the cloud (psst, we know you're there Mr.Sun). Also, I'm hopefully moving in September to go to University and I hope that means I can come and rant about all my problems on here when I'm feeling a bit on the down side, if you all don't mind.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Friday, woo!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So today instead of uploading a blog post full of pictures and reviews, I decided to just take a step back and instead have a little chat about skin issues. As I'm sure of, most of us have had a point in our lives (or several) when our skin gets so bad that we cannot bare to even step out of the house without a shop-worth of make up on, and if you're reading this and thinking, "this has never happened to me" then WHAT IS YOUR SECRET TELL US NOW. Anyway, I watched Zoella and Spinkle of Glitter's new <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYvOD1ZIFD8" target="_blank">video </a>on body image and even though it did help me feel more comfortable about my body size and shape, it also brought to my attention that maybe they way we are shaped isn't the only thing getting us down but also the skin we live in. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I personally think that skin is a huge part of body image and if we don't feel comfortable we tend to hide away and try to cover the problem. Although our skin may have it's absolute star days, when it looks revived and glowing, there is those days with breakouts. Acne is a massive part of teenage growth, as up to 40% of us are effected by it and even though, acne hasn't been much a problem from me, my friends who are sufferers tend to feel self-concious and paranoid about the way they look and what people think of them. This then brings on the whole 'caked' in make up idea as girls especially use an overload of concealers, foundation and powder to cover up any spots or scars caused by acne or just general breakouts. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Instead of using make up as a disguise to hide our skin's true beauty, we should really be taking care of it more. Even if it's just drinking more fruit juices or eating more healthy food, it's a step in the right direction to not only feeling great about yourself but also giving our skin the essential vitamins and minerals it need. Also, cleansing your face daily is a must, otherwise any dirt or leftover make up can leak into your pours and start a whole family of new spots and blemishes (we don't want this).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, embrace the skin you have. Even if you have bad breakouts, focus on the positives. Do you have beautifully rosy cheeks? What about that glow your skin tends to provide? That sprinkle of freckles across your nose? Whatever your skin positive is, always remember to highlight it and feel beautiful in your own body. If you or someone you knows is having a hard time with acne or spots, maybe suggest a trip to the GP to find out what can be done for your skin, and in the long-run it will clear up as you grow older.</div>

Hi everyone, Happy November! It's been a crazy past few weeks through from October until now and I have been absolutely rushed off my little feet, socialising, attending vintage fairs and eating (alot of eating). In this time I've been itching to receive my GlossyBox for November and to see what miniature goodies were in store for me.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first product I picked out from my box was the 'Connock London- Kakui Eau de Parfum':</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This product is retailed at £75 for 100ml which to be honest is a little stretch out of my pay boundaries (mostly because I use perfume so quickly) but I let my mam have a sniff and she absolutely loved it. The perfume has a distinct woody smell which leaves a floral sweet smell after a few hours wear. This product is absolutely gorgeous for a little bit of holiday luxury when you're feeling the blues of the winter but unfortunately for me I enjoy a highly sweet perfume. One for the mother, I think!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next product in my GlossyBox was the 'Yves Rocher France- Cocoa and Raspberry Hand Cream':</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;">
If you know me personally then you will understand how excited I was to see a hand cream in my GlossyBox this month. I can not describe how good this product smells, the sweet cocoa mixed with the fruity raspberry just leaves the most gorgeous smelling skin. I feel like the ultimate Christmas cherry with this product and it's an absolute handbag must for keeping away dry skin in the cold weather. This product is also cheap at £1.95. BONUS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another product in the box was 'Emite Make Up- Micronized Eyeshadow':</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Micronized Eyeshadow came in the lighter cream shade, which is a complimenting tone for my type of skin type, although I have seen other subscribers who have received a darker shade. This eyeshadow is ideal for sensitive eyes, much like it's description as it contains no oil or nasty chemicals that may irritate the skin. The eyeshadow is shimmery and I have been wearing it all day to highlight my brow bone, it looks fantastic and I can't wait to wear it more often. This product retails at £16.80.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The next product I received is the 'Elegant Touch-Nail Polish Remover Pads':</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Nail varnish is one of my favourite beauty products and as I like to experiment with lots of bright colours, I struggle to remember to take it off if I have to go to work or if my nails are horribly chipped. This product is super easy to keep in your handbag for a quick fix of remover if you're in a desperate state. I can't wait to try these pads. They are retailed at £2 for a pot of 20 pads and can be bought from all major drug stores.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The final product in my GlossyBox was the 3-set 'Vichy- Idealia Life Serum and Cream':</div>
<div style="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;">
With this little bundle I got 2 Skin Idealizer Serum and 1 Smoothing and Illuminating Cream, which I am extremely excited about especially because I enjoyed the Premae sample last month. So far, the products smell delicious and feel great on the skin, not too heavy but instead light and revitalizing. At winter I tend to have a bit of a skin disaster with dryness and breakouts so hopefully these little goodies will step up to help. Retail priced at around £29.50 for 30ml.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hi again! It's eventually autumn! (yay for cosy clothes, boo for bad weather).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Every autumn collection needs a luxurious moisturiser too make your skin super silky and smooth instead of dry and any product from The Body Shop is absolute perfection. Usually I treat myself every now and again to a range of products from The Body Shop because they are moderately cheap, smell insanely gorgeous and whenever I pass the store I just want to go inside and roll around in anything I can find.</div>

The first thing I wanted from the shop was a body scrub. I always feel as though my skin is dry and flaky, especially in the autumnal weather and I needed something that wasn't overly gritty and wouldn't take half of my skin off when I used it. Classically the basic body scrubs are a winner from The Body Shop so I didn't hesitate to pick up one straight away. The coconut scent is one of my absolute favourites and this scrub is so smooth and creamy and it just makes your skin feel brand new. I highly, HIGHLY recommend you give this scrub a try. It is retailed at £12.50 and can be found<a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/bath-body-care/body-scrubs/coconut-body-scrub.aspx" target="_blank"> here</a>.</div>

As there was an offer on at the time of buy one get one half price (this offer may still be on in some stores), I picked up the boy butter in Coconut too. This body butter is absolutely sensational. I apply it whenever I get out of the bath or shower or before bed and it just revitalises the skin and keeps it fresh and smelling divine. I also have an issue with stretch marks on my thighs and I have constantly used coconut oil to try and hide their appearance a little, but since using this body butter I have noticed a slight change in the colour of them, so it's great for body image too. There is also a shimmer option to this body butter which will be perfect if you are going on holiday or even a quick slap on if you are going to a party or on a night out. This is retailed at £13.00 and can be found <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/bath-body-care/body-moisturisers/coconut-body-butter.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

The Body Shop has a huge range of different scents to choose from and you might actually spend several hours just sniffing every thing you can find until you decide on the one that you want. I also find that The Body Shop products are great gifts for people, so you may want to keep an eye out for possible Christmas presents as everyone wants to smell like heaven, right?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><u><i><br /></i></u></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi, I've been gone for so long I literally suck so bad at keeping this blog going omg.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I was looking at my stats trying (and failing) to come up with an idea for a blog post and I decided that another review was in order. So here I am armed with lip balm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually refused to buy Baby Lips for a good three weeks before I caved because I did not need another lip balm in my life. I have so many from Vaseline to Chapsticks to Burt's Bees and just thought "no, I am going to save my money. I. DO.NOT. NEED. THIS."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But then I was in Boots and I seen the Maybelline stand and I just couldn't resist any more, I had to try at least one of the Baby Lips products. These have been hyped about so much and honestly, I felt like I needed to see if the excitement was real.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought a 'Hydrate' one in 005- Quenched which is actually clear. I find a clear balm easier because I tend to apply them before I put on my lipstick or gloss and with it being colourless, I had no problem with my lip colour changing prior to applying my chosen lipstick. Anyway, I found this product very satisfying. I glides on so easily without being overly greasy or rough to the skin (sometimes I find the Burt's Bees lip balm can be like this) and it leaves a perky glow to the lips. The taste is very minimal but pleasant non the less and I found within a week of using this product that my lips are a lot smoother. I usually bite my lip frequently when I get nervous or anxious (aka. all the blumin' time) so I needed something that would repair the broken skin and this has been super great so far. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This product is an absolute must for autumn and winter if you have problems with cracked lips. I apply it every morning and night without fail and it's became one of my essentials. 'Baby Lips' are relatively cheap, retail priced at around £2.99 (depending on where you buy it from) and can be purchased from any major drug store or online at the <a href="http://www.maybelline.com/Products/Lip-Makeup/Lip-Balm/Baby-Lips.aspx" target="_blank">Maybelline</a> website.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many different colours and flavours and I can't wait to finish this little one to try more. Yippee!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi again, little pops.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I thought that was cute because it sounds like coco poops, aw!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really super busy at the moment because I go on a cruise around the Mediterranean next Wednesday, so i'm sorry if i'm updating even slower then usual (i know.) in the next 3 weeks. Anyway. for the time being I thought I'd do a 'What colour suit me best' kind of post to help people who struggle finding the right shades of make-up to compliment their skin and eye colours. Let's go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Brown Hair</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Celebrity Inspirations: </u><i>Cheryl Cole, Mila Kunis, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Kate Middleton</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Brown hair + Blue Eyes: </b>Stick mostly to neutral colours on the eyes or even chocolatey browns to make the blue in your eyes really pop. For facial makeup, bronzes tend to look super gorgeous on brunettes so try some gold's to contrast with your eyes and bring out the darker tones in your hair. Finally, the lips will look perfect in a nuder shade to keep the look pretty and natural, this will bring out both the strong colours of your blue eyes and brown hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Brown hair + Brown/Hazel Eyes</b>: Try using a green's of a darker or lighter shade around the eyes as it will make the brownness in your eyes look desirable and mysterious. To match this look use a peach or coral colour on the cheeks to bring out the darkness of the eyes and hair, accentuating the green eye shadows. A dark coral or peach colour, much like the cheeks could be used on the lips, or even a clear gloss.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Brown hair + Green Eyes: </b>For this type of look use earthy tones such as deep purples and mauve's to bring out the beautiful green elements in the eyes. This can be matched with a peach pink cheek tint and a darker lip colour like plum or berry shades to illuminate the face and dark tones of the hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Blonde Hair:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Celebrity inspirations: </u><i>Cameron Diaz, Taylor Swift, Emeli Sande, Cara Delevingne</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Blonde Hair + Blue Eyes</b>: With this look, it's easy to create a angel-like essence by using gold eyeshadows and bronzed cheeks to emphasise the radiance of blue eyes. This looks great when matched with peach or very nude looking lips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Blonde Hair + Brown/Hazel Eyes</b>: Using lilac and lighter purple shades with this combination always helps to expose a fresh look. I would match this with a almost raspberry coloured blush and red rosy lips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Blonde Hair + Green Eyes</b>: For those of you with blonde hair and green eyes I would use brown's to create an almost cheeky look. By using a dark brown on the eye lids with a nude blush and clear glossed lips, this look will look truly flawless.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Red Hair:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="text-decoration: underline;">Celebrity inspirations: </b><i>Nicole Kidman, Nicola Roberts, Karen Gillan, Amy Adams, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Red Hair + Blue Eyes</b>: (That's me, yay!) I find personally that anything with golden and bronze tone's on the eyes works beautifully to bring together the blueness of the eyes and redness of the hair. Match this with a light brown blush and dark pink lips to complete the look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Red Hair + Brown/Hazel Eyes:</b> Green always looks pretty with redheads but if you have brown eyes then this is your time to shine by using a dark green eye shadow matched with a peach or terracotta coloured blush and dark berry coloured lips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Red Hair + Green Eyes</b>: Although you may have green eyes, your hair will be shouting for you to use a light green eyeshadow to make your eyes pop. Match this with a peach blush and light coloured lips to create a beautiful finish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Black Hair:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Celebrity inspirations: </u><i>Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian, Kristen Stewart, Megan Fox</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Black Hair + Blue Eyes:</b> With this look you should try and wear more lighter shades on the eyes such as cream's and light brown's as you have bright eyes that need to be contrasted against your hair. With this match a light pink blush and dark red lips. Very classic and stunning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Black Hair + Brown Eyes</b>: As black hair is very striking, brown eyes can be used to help tone the look down by using golden shades or pink light shades. This can therefore be matched with berry coloured cheeks and peachy coloured lips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Black hair + Green Eyes:</b> I would recommend with this look to bring on the smoky eye by using dark browns and blacks, matched with a peach or light pink blush and clear glossed lip or very subtle reds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I hope that helped you if you are struggling to find the perfect colours for you. Although this may be helpful please experiment with different colours and shades to find your ultimate look. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also I'm really sorry if I missed you out, I tried my best.</div>

No! It's me posting two days in a row ( cor, blimey!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So lately I went out on a little shopping trip with my dad, as we were looking for a jeweller that could craft a broken Mizpah ring into a one that fit my finger as it's a item that runs in the family and I am yet to get my grubby little hands on one as they are so rare to find these days! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I made the mistake of going into a couple of the drugstores on the highstreet, which for me is unfortunately money suicide. I picked up a few new products and I thought it would be nice to share with you which of them I have fallen a little bit (alot) in love with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, I have been told on numerous occasions about MUA's eyeshadow palettes and how great they are for their super cheap prices, so I decided to give them a go. When I spotted the 'Heaven and Earth' palette my heart melted a little and my eyes glowed like the light of the sun. The mix of creams, bronzes and browns are absolutely perfect for an all natural look or if you want to show off your sizzling summer tan. As I have red hair and blue eyes, bronze's are the colour I tend to for and this palette was an absolute steal at £4.00 from Superdrug. You can view the product <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/mua-professional/make-up-academy-professional-eye-palette-heaven+earth/invt/267771" target="_blank">here</a> and other's that are similar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Next, I picked up the L'Oreal Superliner Perfect Slim, felt-tip liquid eyeliner in Intense Black (phew, that was a mouthful!). I wear eyeliner religiously but I needed something a tad bit subtle for work and sixth form and although I usually use Collection 2000's liquid felt-tip liner, L'Oreal definitely have the edge when it comes to precision. The nib is very fine and allows a closer finish to the lashline, although maybe pretty tricky for those of you who are not familiar with using liquid eyeliner. I absolutely love this product, it's my new little gem and I wear it everyday as the colour stays where I put it (yipppeeee!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My last product I picked up was an inevitable happening as I strolled past the Rimmel London counter and stared at the array of beauty that is the Kate Moss Collection. If you know me at all then you will agree that I have a slight obsession with the Kate Moss lipsticks and I thought it would do no harm to expand my collection. The shade I chose was number 19 which is similar to another one I already have in number 8 but is a little bit darker with red undertones. Again, these lipsticks are amazing and if you haven't tried them what are you waiting for?! They apply very easily and have a lovely creamy texture. The lipstick also smells incredible and stays on for a long period of time, although slightly falters with food/ drink consumption but that's usually normal with lipstick. The only issue I have with these lipsticks are that you have to be super careful incase any get on your clothes as they do tend to stain and are tough to remove, but don't let that put you off.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi again. So it seems I am exceptionally bad at updating this blog and I would use the excuse that I've been working non stop but thats not acceptable and I deserve a slap on the hand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway whilst I haven't posted, I've broken my London virginity finally, hooray!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfect timing it seems as Princess Kate popped out the future king, Prince George (how cute is he?!) the night before we were due to go , so London was super duper busy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However we had a fantastic time eventhough we literally just got on our train after the final whistle blew whilst we were running about with coffees! Firstly we visited Camden Market which was really cool and artsy.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because the weather was ridiculously hot we had a break on Camden Lock where there a band called The Kings Parade playing and I picked up their EP for £2, which is incredible,. I highly suggest you check them out at @TheKingsParade on Twitter and give Vagabond a listen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next we caught the tube to Big Ben and the real touristy side of London. Here are a few snaps.</div>

We walked along the river at sunset until the moon came out and seeing St. Pauls all lit up is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. The next day we went to Buckingham Palace and managed to catch the changing of the guards. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hiii! I've decided to try and motivate myself to use this blog a little more that I should d0 a series of challenges based around fashion and beauty. So this week I've decided to look at all things yellow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yellow is a huge colour this season and the shops are packed with lemony treats. As it's summer we all want to be dressed in bright clothes and generally feel happy about everything because let's be real here, when is it likely that the sun will stay out for more than a few days (in the UK anyway, those of you in tropical countries, i envy you).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've put together some of my favourites that I've seen either in shops or online and they're all so gorgeous.Thanks for reading and I hope I've helped showcase how beautiful yellow is this summer. Hope you all have a lovely time in the sun and remember to stay protected with plenty of sun protection!</span><br />

These looks are a little more on the expensive side but they're just so pretty and girly. Perfect for summer time! If you have a yellow outfit planned and find yourself struggling with what colour to pair it with, white is always the key colour to make you look innocent and fresh. You could also use brown's and blacks to create a more glamorous statement outfit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My favourite yellow item I have found on my search has to be this beautiful <b>Crochet Neck Midi Dress</b> from <i style="font-weight: bold;">AX Paris, £30.00 </i>which can be found <a href="http://www.axparis.com/products/-Crochet-Neck--Midi--Dress-.html" target="_blank">here</a><i style="font-weight: bold;">.</i> It's both fine detailing around the neck area just gives the vibrant yellow a touch of glamour and delicacy. I love it!</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi guys, sorry I haven't been on for a while because of exams and issues in my personal life but I'm back and I'm armed with a new product review!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the <i><b>Apocalips Lip Lacquer</b></i> was actually recommended to me by my mam's friend when we were having a little chatter about new make-up products and she told me that it was her absolute favourite at the minute. Now, after buying my own and trying it out, I'm finding it hard to disagree. The lip lacquer glides on very easily and is slap bang right in the middle of a gloss and a lip stick (<i><b>which means more pigmentation and less stickiness, yay!</b></i>) and stays on for a long time, I even tested the 'drink a cup of tea and attempt to keep the colour intact' and it stayed put perfectly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The colour I picked up is the '<i><b>Celestial</b></i>' version and I squirmed at how cute all the names are in range as they are moon and galaxy themed. This specific colour is a subtle red with darker undertones and looks absolutely divine with a bronzed look, which is perfect for summer. Also what i find helpful about this product in particular is that it allows you to build up on coverage, just in case you don't want something bold and bright, a gentle slick of this lip lacquer will apply just the right enough to create a more delicate look. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This product is incredibly cheap at <b>£4.99</b> and can be found in most drug stores such as <i>Superdrug</i>, in supermarkets such as <i>Asda, Tesco</i> and <i>Morrisons</i> or can be found on-line at<i> <a href="http://www.asos.com/Rimmel-London/Rimmel-London-Apocalips-Lip-Lacquer/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2915026&SearchQuery=rimmel%20london&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Nova" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><b>asos.com</b></span></a></i><b>.</b> As usual my favourite store is<u> <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-London-Apocalips-Lip-Lacquer_1296026/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><i><b>Boots</b></i></span></a></u> and the product can be found here amongst other <i>Rimmel London</i> ranges.</span></div>
