<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I keep disappearing and I am trying my best to keep my blog up to date, but the last month and a half have been MANIC, to say the least. My brother got married and preparing for it was hectic, crazy and very tiring, but the wedding day itself was amazing. Everyone looked amazing and we had a crazy reception party with everyone drunk (including me, first time in my life getting dunk- I drank everything under the sun). I also did a speech for my brother where I ripped him to shreds, which he deserves, haha! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Excuse the very poor pic, I took it from my Dad's iPad (the second one) and I did not know how poor the camera was, or is it just mine? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My favourites for this month are pretty simple.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1) La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo- After hearing alot of positives from this I decided to give it a go. I think it was around £13 from Boots and I really like it. It has helped with blemishes and helps to control my skin. When I bought it I thought 40ml is really small for £13, but I have used for a month and a bit, but there is quite a bit left. I just apply it to the areas of my face that I am most prone to blemishes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">2) Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Oil- This stuff is sooo nice, I have been using this on and off for around 3 years and I rediscovered it. Apply this after a shower and it moisturises the skin so well and you look glowy *BONUS*</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">3) Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser for Normal/Combination skin- Even though my skin can break out, it is very dry, so I use this cream at night to inject some moisture in my skin. I love this cream, my skin is soft and looks healthy when I get up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">4) MAC 239- I have been wanting this for ages. It works at packing on the colour of eye shadows and even paint pots. I used to use my fingers to apply paint pots, which I didn't like because I thought it looked poo on me. This brush is something you have to own (along with the 217) they are amazing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">5) Real Techniques Stippling Brush- I use this to apply my blush (current choice- MAC Margin), and it gives control and stops me from looking like a extra from Geordie Shore. Funny enough, the RT blush brush is HUGE to apply blush, so I use it for bronzer or setting my make up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Hope everyone is having a good weekend! :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I always forget to do these types of posts so here is my *first* loves of the month of July and its slightly late (oops!).</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here is the list of stuff I have been loving this month:</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> <div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi75XzWFOGHXT-ZWBXrPhhdt1n-guYdicedKqphjGJ5qho_vcO__UAQb29aV976vmN0VpS5QibkkZ0GR0plcpkz9ViUjrJA2DjClgCSs2LleiG9LUxkOn0pAN3_YtxO5EoEynEYQOfNomWL/s1600/SV105353.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi75XzWFOGHXT-ZWBXrPhhdt1n-guYdicedKqphjGJ5qho_vcO__UAQb29aV976vmN0VpS5QibkkZ0GR0plcpkz9ViUjrJA2DjClgCSs2LleiG9LUxkOn0pAN3_YtxO5EoEynEYQOfNomWL/s640/SV105353.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Kiehls midnight recovery eye cream</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I only picked this up in July but it has made it on to this list. I tried a sample of it before and I was amazed at how lovely it was. I can't say if it has sorted out my wrinkles, BUT my eye area is much more nourished and looks nicer in the morning.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">balance Me Rose Otto Intensive Lip Salve</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This was free in this month's Glamour mag and after one application I shot out and got another one. It claims to: <em>'plump, smooth and hydrate'</em> which is most <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">definitely</span>
</span>does. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This is s</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">uch a beautiful lip product, it has even replaced my Carmex (and that is saying something). Its a 100% natural, which is something I am becoming more and more interested/concerned about in terms of skincare.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I love the applicator and it smells good (very rosy). I apply it for bed and my lips have thanked me for it.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Real Techniques Detailer Brush</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is part of the Core Collection which I got as I never had <em>any</em> proper make up brushes. I never really wore foundation but I am beginning to and love this set of brushes. I hear a huge hype around the buffing brush (which is understandable, it is truly remarkable) but I personally love the detailer brush for concealing blemishes or small areas of the face, it does such a good job in concealing blemishes and redness around my nose.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume Mascara</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One of my all time favourite products. My aunt from Canada originally bought this for me when she visited last and have been holding onto this one for about a year (unopend, of course). This is my last one, sad times, but I managed to ask her to send me some over, so I felt it was the right time to open it ;) I seriously love this mascara, it is the only mascara that I get compliments on. My eyelashes are straight but slant down a bit, so I need something that will hold a curl fairly well and this works for me and plus it adds tonnes of volume. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">MAC Eye Kohl in Phone Number</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is one of my long lost products and I rediscovered it this month. I actually hated this when I originally bought it, but then again I never gave it a chance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Its like a charcoal grey with a silver sheen running through it, the glitter particles are <em>really</em> fine. I use this on the days where I don't want a heavy look but still want some definition. This does smudge but<em> </em>I found that when I applied it to my waterline it stayed in place and it is quite pigmented.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So there you have it, my favourites of July 2012. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Thanks for reading! :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I went shopping and this is what happened:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Topshop</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I don't usually shop in Topshop, but that has all changed now...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I went to the Oxford Street store and it is like heaven for any girl. Their current season stuff is really nice and one of my obsessions, jewellery, especially statement jewellery- were amazing. I had to control myself, but I only bought two rings and a cuff bracelet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The cuff is beautiful and it is one of those pieces where you can get away with wearing that and that alone. You can also cross over the bracelet, so the loops intertwine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">With the rings, I would personally wear them day or night. I especially love the scandi eye ring, I don't own anything like it. Its unique. Love it. </span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Miss Selfridge</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I spotted this clutch and I had hearts in my eyes. It is really well made, the only thing I hate is the strap, it is a weird colour of gold, but I am not intending on using it. The 'V' part of the purse has faux snake print, which adds a nice touch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It is really spacious (for those who have an iPhone, you know a small clutch is no longer applicable). This can fit everything, from face powders to compacts to even a MAC palette (just in case). I prefer black bags, as they go with everything. Can't wait to wear this!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The second item I bought was this ring, which is just beautiful. It reminds of the film Gladiators, it looks like the body armour they wore, very Roman times-esque.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Firstly, some sun in the UK! I need some vitamin D, was starting to feel like a zombie, so hurray for that. Secondly, sorry for being naff with posting but I want to start doing different types of posts, I'm sure its getting boring with me reviewing products almost all the time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This post is a review AGAIN! Hahaha!!! But I am having a really difficult time in trying to grow my hair, I have no idea why it doesn't grow. My hairdresser told me that hair can stop growing when it gets to a certain length and sure hope this is not me :( To help the situation along, I am trying to not cut it and decided the best way is to use a good conditioner to keep my ends in tip top condition. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">FYI: I did cut my own hair and failed miserably. It looked shit and was uneven, so that was a huge fail. Lesson: leave it to the professionals.</span></em></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As there was so much hype around the Macadamia hair range, I obviously jumped on the bandwagon and I wanted to add my two pennies ;) The product that got the most hype was the Deep Repair Masque and I totally see why. Macadamia say:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>"Our Macadamia and Argan oils combine with tea tree and chamomile oils, aloe and algae extracts to produce miracle-like hair rejuvenation"</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />It does nothing but good things for the ends of my hair (dare I agree and say it is a miracle product, a bit too far maybe, but not far off!). This is perfect with people who have really dry ends or use a lot of heat in their hair. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I use this in the shower, apply it to the ends of my hair and leave it for around 10 minutes (during which I exfoliate and warm up my vocal cords). When I wash it out, my hair is left feeling soft, smooth and very nourished! The texture is as expected: very thick, therefore, you need a small amount, but it is still really nice to apply to the hair.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It smells good and the scent stays in my hair. I expected the smell to be nutty or a chocolate/vanilla scent but it smells like a hair product (that is not even helpful, ha!), just quite feminine, clean and reminds me of the hairdressers.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have been using it for 5 months and this stuff is seriously amazing!!! I use it sparingly (once a week) because it is such a moisturising product, I think twice would be a bit too much, plus, my hair can get greasy really easy (but I have dry ends?...WEIRD!) I was lucky and managed to get mine off CheapSmells when it was £10.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The dodgy hair cut I gave myself did help hack off the split ends and the Dove conditioner I blogged about </span><a href="http://beauty-fullybloggin.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=dove" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and this hair masque has helped to condition the ends of my hair. My hair is naturally wavy/frizzy/bird's nest, with my Dad even questionning if I own a brush, but with this, I feel my hair is slightly more tame and it doesn't weigh my hair down. I also struggle with dry ends because of my hair type and the more I have used this masque, the better my ends are and so makes my hair look healthier overall. I also use a hair oil once every two weeks, which helps as well.</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you haven't tried it, you need to, it is an amazing product, but £25 is a bit much, having said that it does last me quite a while. If you check BuyaPowa, they had a deal recently where it was around the £8ish mark, so it is worth shopping around.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hope everyone is having a good weekend ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I know what you are thinking, Kiehl's don't do sales (thought the exact same), but I went in to the Westfield in Stratford and they had 20% OFF!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You might want to check if your local store has the offer because I am not sure how long they are doing this sale and I couldn't see the sale online. FAIL!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As usual, I wanted to buy everything but I controlled myself and got the one product I wanted to try for ages (this was the perfect time, with 20% off and all).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I ended up buying the Midnight Recovery Eye Cream, which I tried a sample of a while ago and I really loved it.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I do love to exfoliate my body, it makes it easier for my moisturiser to be absorbed and no more crocodile skin ;) But I'm not really fussed about the type of scrub, the only thing I ask for to do what it says on the tub/bottle (don't we all?!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now that summer has arrived (now and again, when it feels like it) in the UK, I think exfoliators, shavers, wax and <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">definitely </span>SPF are selling QUICK! So I thought I would let you know which exfoliators I love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A quick heads up, I cannot for the life of me describe scents, so sorry in advance :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
<strong><em>1) L'Oreal Exfotonic</em></strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is one that I have been using for ages, but I have a problem finding it in my local Boots and Superdrug. Any-hoo, it's a great foaming exfoliator which really slough's off any flakiness. But when using this product, you will need to ensure you use SPF as it contains AHA's, which I try to look for in both my facial and body exfoliators, as it makes it easier to remove dead skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The smell is fresh, clean- I want to say ocean like(?!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What I like about this one is that does quite a few things: tones the skin, smoothes rough patches, encourages cellular renewal and cleanses and clarifies the skin (very well copied from the packaging) but I can truly say I found it to do all those, except tone, but that is because this product is part of the 'Body Expertise' routine, where you 'need to use all the products to see an effect', but I didn't follow that, did my own thanggg, so didn't see any toning- I rely on Jillian for that, when bothered.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>2) The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Scrub</em></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This smells like the body butter which I love. The grains are not small and I think this is the most abrasive. The creamy texture and smell is what made it on to this list. It is not moisturising, but instead leaves your skin soft and my moisturiser sinks in a bit quicker.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>3) Soap and Glory Sugar Crush</em></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">(not pictured because I used it up and chucked away the packaging- (a normal non-blogger thing to do) )</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This one is my favourite for when I need a good scrub (or when I haven't exfoliated in ages). The smell. The consistency. The ingredients (brown sugar, almond oil and lime- all things I love). Everything. I just cannot fault it. It exfoliates really well, leaves my skin smooth and smelling good (the citrus scent is different to the "normal" S&G scent of products). It is however slightly abrasive, so if you have sensitive skin, a defo no-go. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>4) The Sanctuary Body Scrub Orange Blossom</em></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I quite like scrubs that leave a little moisture film after, I find that it helps my skin to stay a bit more softer for longer, especially in winter when my skin is drier. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is one of those- it has natural pumice, patchouli and orange oil. It smells fresh and makes me want to eat it, I can't really describe the smell, it smells like all the other Sanctuary products. A really nice <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">luxurious product.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It contains small exfoliating grains, so it is not as abrasive as some of the other ones. I only use this when I have been regularly exfoliating and do not need anything close to a sander. It doesn't leave my skin irritated or red.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>5) Soap and Glory Flake Away</em></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This was introduced to me by my sister around 5 years ago and since I have tried it I have loved it :) It smells amazing, melts into my skin and is moisturising. It doesn't leave that much of a film after the exfoliator is washed off and is perfect for getting my skin ready for summer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hope this was helpful. What are your favourite exfoliators?</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am obsessed with glitter nail polish. Seriously obsessed. So when I saw these two gems at the No7 counter in Boots I was, lets face it, mesmerised. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">They are reasonably priced at £8 each (9ml). BUT... if you spend £5 in store you get a £5 No7 voucher (I think for another week- not sure, so check it out) which makes these two polish's £3 each AND you get advantage card points... BARGAIN!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I know glitter nail polish is a pain to get off, but I just make sure that I apply a thicker layer or more layers of the glitter, so when it comes to the removing process, I am able to peel it off (bad for your nail and weird, but it works, trust me). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">However, with the No7 ones, I applied two coats and it wasn't that much hard work to take off compared to 'Rainbow in the S-Kylie' (from the </span><a href="http://beauty-fullybloggin.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/nicole-by-opi-kardashian-kolors.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Kardashian Kolor Line)</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> which is my favourite, but a real nightmare to take off :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">(Can't really see the front of the bottle, but if you look carefully you can see the 'No7' logo).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I really adore the consistency of the polish, it's very easy to work with and lets you 'place' the glitter where you want, which is difficult with some previous colours I have tried, where some of the glitter flecks can tend to clump together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The brush is amazing too, I am glad No7 have kept with their wider brush which all their <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">polishes</span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The first two nails are 'Gold', the index finger with one coat and the middle finger with two coats.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The last two nails are 'Silver', the ring finger is one coat and the little finger is with two coats.</span></div>

boy at times or football fanatic if you will, I just thought nope these will
just not work. HOW WRONG WAS I? I tried them on and even my Mum was like
"they look good" and I trust my Mum because if they looked naff she
would pull a "don't think so" face. By the way, buying
Converse/trainers can be just as addictive as buying cosmetics. As soon as I
got home I was thinking of my next pair... (I forgot to take a picture but, I have a picture on
my Instagram: @beautyfullyblog, if you are interested) or you can see them on the <a href="http://www.office.co.uk/mens/converse/all_star_leather_hi/21/1267/20230/1/1?fs=1267" target="_blank">Office website.</a></span></span></div>

not sure about this, I chose this and then realised it only had UVA protection.
I am becoming really fussy about SPF protection, it is so so so important. If
you are in the sun or even on a cloudy day you NEED SPF. I wouldn't go any further
than SPF 30, even in summer. I also think this cream is a bit heavy for me and
I have a few spots, so I think it may be from the cream. Not completely sure
yet.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am determined to make this
scent my signature and I think I am almost there. My other signature scent is
"apparently" Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy, which my cousin smelt
on me and she loves it now. Slightly obsessed like me :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But my new love is... <strong>Cacharel Amor Amor (EDT).</strong>
I had this before but never took notice. I <s>stole</s> got this off my mum and
have been wearing it ALL the time. I seriously love it and cannot believe I
didn't <s>steal</s> get it earlier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I love fruity smells but this is very fresh and floral. This is not a sweet scent but it is quite a sophisticted, "grown up" scent. <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It has notes of Vanilla, Mandarin, Jasmine, Black
Currant and Lily of the Valley. I think some people who prefer lighter scents
for daytime may find this a little heavy, I do like slightly strong scents, but
nothing like Clinque Aromatics. Urgh that is something else. My owns that too and I really dislike it, makes my nose hurt. Won't be stealing that one!</span></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Even though its EDT I thought it was EDP because it has such great staying power- I was really impressed and I love how I get a whiff here and there during the day ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the bottle, I ADORE it! Red is my favourite colour and the design is simple and to the point, no fancy stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In terms of the bottle size, it is "handbag friendly" compared to other bottles which tend to be so so big that I can't chuck it in my handbag and tote it around all day; but this is an exception. I know the 30ml is a big difference from a 100ml but I still think the 100ml won't be that much bigger in relation to the width. (I am comparing this to the Britney Spears perfumes, the 30ml are just right to take with you but when it gets to 100ml, it is like carrying a rock around, its so bulky/wide). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">WOOOO!!! My exams are finished *Beyonce booty shake* and I went out last night for my sister's birthday and got home at like 3am. Haha not used to it ;) Its 5.25pm, so I'm still in my pj's :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ok let's face it (no pun intended) we all have or have had spots/blemishes/zits, it happens. Luckily for me they are frequent visitors and enjoy a nice long stay with visible after affects.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am trying to get clear skin and I was almost there until I got a heat rash on my face (seriously?!) and so all that went blah.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But I have found a few products which have helped me during my exams, where my face was SOO bad, like the worst ever (partly my fault, a combination of chocolate and stress do not work together, FYI).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I mainly use these products at night, but on the days I am home I apply them during the day as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">At night, I use my cleanser (Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel) and then tone and then apply a face cream but miss out the areas where I intend to put the spot treatment. I have two different spot treatments I use:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1) </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Origins-Super-Spot-Remover-Blemish-Treatment-Gel-10ml_1212570/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Origins Super Spot Remover</strong> <em><strong>10ml for £12</strong></em></span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">- I tried the original one and I liked it, so I had really high expectations because it said it was 'super'. I do like it and it does reduce the size of the blemish. Depending on how stubborn the blemish is will obviously depend on how long/often you use it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSdLuwl09FJgu_0sR5N-I9LsaOovc4fa-XxkGZrhSNpMDOYJEsBg0FVmH5QVuzHciEC8w8NL301Gfr_tusT9EB6MWzYwhcUqiQaWlyaYJq36KNAnGNTTCRXcpy5zfv7m77I4C4O2Lae24l/s1600/SV105142.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSdLuwl09FJgu_0sR5N-I9LsaOovc4fa-XxkGZrhSNpMDOYJEsBg0FVmH5QVuzHciEC8w8NL301Gfr_tusT9EB6MWzYwhcUqiQaWlyaYJq36KNAnGNTTCRXcpy5zfv7m77I4C4O2Lae24l/s320/SV105142.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This product contains Salicylic Acid, a "blemish busting" ingredient. The product also claims to "minimise the appearance of post-blemish marks." I haven't found that much of a difference in the appearance of the scarring left behind, but it does a good job at reducing redness and blemish size. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I do find that when I use it every day for like 3 days (it can be used 1-3 times a day) it dries the skin out around where the spot was, but make sure you apply to the spot, not to the surrounding skin aswell. And to deal with the flakiness I just use a gentle exfoliator :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The only negative about this is that I think it is really expensive. The bottle is <span style="font-size: xx-small;">tiny</span>. It has a strong herby/spicy smell too, which I'm sure some will not like. When you apply it to the skin it does tingle, but not to the extent where you want to rip your face off, but some people would find it quite strong. FYI- do NOT put it on a broken blemish, which I cleverly did and screamed my butt off. And that did hurt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2) <strong><a href="http://www.superdrug.com/problem-skin/tea-tree-blended-oil-10ml/invt/587265/" target="_blank">Tea tree oil<em> 10ml for £2.99 </em></a> and <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Pharmaceuticals-Witch-Hazel-Gel-35ml-_1132109/" target="_blank">witch hazel gel <em>£1.99 for 35ml</em></a></strong>- I use these together and they have really helped my skin to clear up. I found that it is most useful when I keep reapplying like every 4 hours, well for me anyway, because I had a few horrible spots which would not go alone with the Origins spot remover. I had to call in some reinforcement. I moisturise my face before bed but leave the areas where I have the blemish. I apply the tea tree oil using a cotton bud and allow the skin to absorb it. I then apply a layer of the witch hazel gel, leaving it on overnight.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There are some tea tree oils which are pure and can be used alone, but I haven't used them, so I can't really comment. So, try a blended one first, if this doesnt work then move onto a pure version. Pure tea tree oil I imagine to be quite drying so use sparingly.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is a cheap alternative for a spot treatment, so I would try this method out, you do have to be persistent and if it doesn't work then have a look at other alternatives.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have found that these work great for me, until my skin gets used to it and I will be back to square one finding another spot fighting regime.</span></div>

I have coursework and exams all happening next month, so I am sorting myself out for that. So, if I am not blogging then I haven't been ejected into space (which would be quite cool!) I am just busy revising :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But I have a whole post dedicated to the three Dove products I have been really enjoying using. Two are hair products and the other is a body product.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOShKiAlsSepwrYjZsztOErWZtuD6APOvIpPKitCDrw9XXf7OdwvTGCBiBDgOGRq2PNfG0kdPUVE0ulqcVBgbZrx34sVsXTBIDvPqvrZ7Qg7CioqWgII3IuXSvJSWaaGtMpOSWy2UE0-NJ/s1600/SV105041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOShKiAlsSepwrYjZsztOErWZtuD6APOvIpPKitCDrw9XXf7OdwvTGCBiBDgOGRq2PNfG0kdPUVE0ulqcVBgbZrx34sVsXTBIDvPqvrZ7Qg7CioqWgII3IuXSvJSWaaGtMpOSWy2UE0-NJ/s640/SV105041.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Dove Intensive Repair</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">To be honest, I never really used to use conditioner, until I enrolled myself on this "long hair" project. I want my hair to my belly button (my hairdresser thinks I am crazy and boring as I only ever ask for a trim) which will take years, but I aim to be an Asian version of Rapunzel ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So, I don't know why, but my mum bought this and I just started using it as it was in the shower. It has helped to prevent split ends forming, I feel like I don't have as many as I did when I never conditioned my hair. So it must be doing something. It is nourishing and smells really nice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Owww, notice how I have the tiniest amount left. I have squeezed the life out of the bottle :( </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But remember no product gets rid of split ends, the only way to do that is to visit the hairdresser. </span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Dove Nourishing Oil Care</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">While prowling the isles in Sainsbury's I came upon this, I actually bought the shampoo first and thought it was the conditioner and was putting it in the ends of my hair. THEN I realised it was the shampoo (so stupid), so no wonder it wasn't moisturising. Jheeze. Anyway, when I bought the conditioner, I tried it straight away. Firstly, it smells amazing!!! I think all the Dove products have a nice pong. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I use it in the shower, but I never wash all of the product out because my ends are really dry. Then once I have let my hair dry, the following morning (I wash my hair at night) I put a tiny bit of this conditioner at the ends, to keep them nourished. I have found it helps :) But I also think it has been a combination of both the conditioners (which I alternate) along with my weekly hair oil treatment. I blogged about this </span><a href="http://beauty-fullybloggin.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/hair-hero-1.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">.</span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Dove Go Fresh Nourishing Body Wash with Nectarine and White Ginger Scent</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is perfect for summer, its zingy fresh and is moisturising. It doesn't dry my skin out and it <em>is</em> really fresh. I didn't even know they did it in a huge 500 ml. As soon as I saw it I bought it. It's <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">definitely really good </span>value for money. I think I got the 500 ml for around £2 (on offer!).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Happy April Fools :) And Khloe and Lamar is starting today, if anyone is a Kardashian fan like me ;) I am not ashamed to admit, I am excited :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Oh, and I have bought a few things over the past week which I cannot wait to try. I am stalking the postman, he must think I am a freak! Oopsie!</span><br />

<div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><span style="font-size: large;">Devia xxx</span></em></span></div>Deviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05557665584584364002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4820882767087105641.post-87903823405811704862012-03-20T21:12:00.000+00:002012-03-20T21:12:17.816+00:00TIGI Bed Head Headrush<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have SERIOUS love for this product and have for a LONG time (as in 6 years, yep at 13 I was using this stuff!) and have repurchased it many times. It's a shine spray that smells really good! Words cannot even describe how nice it smells- fruity/sweet/sophisticated but not a sickly sweet scent. (Well, maybe a few words, but does <em>not</em> do the smell any justice!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">My hair is oily and so every single time I would not even touch shine sprays with a bargepole, but this is lightweight and I don't spray it directly to my roots, I spray a little below and from a distance. It makes my hair look shiny and healthy and smell good! I also found that I don't get that much product build up with this. If used properly then it is an amazing product.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">And in terms of the packaging, if you know me, I don't really care about the packaging. If the product does what it says on the tin then I am happy. But the packaging is nice though. Bright, vibrant and colourful and does therefore stand out in my cupboard next to all my other 'boring looking products'.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl4AMYxsJ69XmiNewXkY8Dpb8N8EjP8FjOS5uO-KtJQw7fU8eGFmAtScSfwK8RP7a6oOCnGKGEH9EAHTVF73_EJvf2IW7RCpJA8dGnFKZeLlzfxQ2xvPggg-bY1pt3Yu9NV-Hk-8RSGTeK/s1600/SV105036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl4AMYxsJ69XmiNewXkY8Dpb8N8EjP8FjOS5uO-KtJQw7fU8eGFmAtScSfwK8RP7a6oOCnGKGEH9EAHTVF73_EJvf2IW7RCpJA8dGnFKZeLlzfxQ2xvPggg-bY1pt3Yu9NV-Hk-8RSGTeK/s400/SV105036.JPG" width="300" /></a></div> <br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I use this only after I straighten my hair, (only use on dry hair) which I rarely do now as I leave my hair to do its own thing and be natural. But I also use it to spritz into my hair just so that my hair smells good. I mean, come on, who doesn't like good smelling hair?!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I purchased this from <a href="http://www.cheapsmells.com/productPaging.php?category=4&brand=TIGI%20Bed%20Head%20Hair%20Care&name=Shine">Cheap Smells</a>, but you can get it in any Toni&Guy salons or any other hair salons. It varies around the £12.00 - £15.00 mark for 200ml depending on where you purchase it from.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Hope everyone is having a good week! I am soooo excited about The Hunger Games film :) Need to finish the book before I watch the movie though :P</span><br />

I took pictures of it on my iPhone in the car, so excuse the pics. :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This nail of the day is quite fit for summer, its bright and vibrant. I love this combination, it makes me happy when I wear it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I used No7 in 'Tangy', a bright orange, as my base colour. When that dried I applied a thin layer of Essie's 'Shine of the Times', from the Luxeffects collection. I blogged about this </span><a href="http://beauty-fullybloggin.blogspot.com/2012/02/essie-luxeffects-collection.html"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">.

</div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have been itching to get the Tangle Teezer for absolute ages, but I never really thought I need it. I mean £10 for a brush?! They all do the same thing! But how WRONG I was...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I tried the tangle teezer (which I got in my favourite colour- 'Tangerine Scream', very bright indeed) this week and I am in love once again with a beauty product, not a boy :) I was very excited to try it and I couldn't wait to wash my hair. Haha! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My hair is medium length and can get quite tangled, especially the hair near the nape of my neck- that is one area I have split ends and my hair horrible, so I "tangle teezered" it and my hair is little more content, not <em>as</em> frizzy but a bit more soft, I am impressed ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Have you tried any of these products? Thoughts?</span><br />

<br />
I am sure you are all already aware that magazines are giving away like crazy this month.<br />
<br />
Glamour are giving away Percy & Reed hair goodies. I have not heard of this brand before and I was really interested about the product. I picked up the 'Totally TLC Hydrating Mask' in a generous 100ml. I tried this the other day and I can't really comment on how it was. I would have to use it a few more times to know.<br />
I also picked up the moisturising conditioner and the finishing polish, which I am yet to try, but I think I may be onto something. I love the packaging, its simple and quirky. <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEHFQ0YmJ2aFSfaW4PHK1jF8HEgeUT8aK8b5PNgUicBvwZwbR4YKl9NCPRePy4Kp3MtmKbPkSb9NEm4dcPgUr1EHxHq1x_0zIjlNcFp84WaKw8MqRYkkx7-RHWhBjW214vBTcZLJSp0zR/s1600/SV104957.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEHFQ0YmJ2aFSfaW4PHK1jF8HEgeUT8aK8b5PNgUicBvwZwbR4YKl9NCPRePy4Kp3MtmKbPkSb9NEm4dcPgUr1EHxHq1x_0zIjlNcFp84WaKw8MqRYkkx7-RHWhBjW214vBTcZLJSp0zR/s640/SV104957.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">How beautiful does Jennifer Lawrence look???</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>I know Cosmo were giving away Clinique goodies, but it didn't appeal to me. I was more excited about trying the Percy and Reed range.<br />
<br />
So have a look next time you are in Tesco/Sainsbury's/Boots and collect them. I didn't get the shampoo because my hair is oily and a moisturising shampoo scares me a little bit. If you collect all of them, they are worth £43, while only spending £8 ;)<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. The sun has just made its entrance, but its Britain, I wonder how long it will last for?<br />

<br />
I have been researching alot into the products that state they are this way. Initially, it was difficult for me to find brands, but when I started to know what to look for, it became really easy.<br />
I have a few brands that I want to try, which I am sure many of you have tried, but I want to see if the "natural"tag that has been given to a lot of products is really worth investing in. <br />
<br />
So from now on, expect a new product mention/review at least one a month. Sorry, if I turn into a freak of nature :)<br />
<br />
I really hope that this helps people because I am still learning about the various chemicals/bad things we are exposed to.<br />
<br />
Have a good weekend everyone<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Firstly, Happy International Women's Day! xoxo</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">(the two women I love most are my Mum and Sister <3) yeah cheese I know! :P</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I was generously given this (along with some other stuff) by </span><a href="http://www.getgawjus.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Shifa at Get Gawjus</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, who is the <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">loveliest</span> </span>person ever, with the most AMAZING hair. I have serious hair envy ;) And it is obvious she is a beauty.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I personally have not heard of this brand before but I was really intrigued to try it out. I do love sea salt sprays as I find they are the best at creating and holding beach type waves :) and seriously we all want to look like VS Angels, don't we?</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So I applied this to damp hair and scrunched away. The first thing I noticed was the smell! It smells like coconuts and holidays which I love and does remind me of The Body Shop's Coconut body butter, so if you don't like that smell, you will dislike this. The scent does linger and I kept smelling my hair during the day! (I am almost certain people thought I was crazy).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><u><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Application and my thoughts:</span></u></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When your hair dries it leaves a slight residue, nothing that makes your hair feel like straw. It doesn't dry my hair out like other sea salt sprays and I can work with my hair a day after application as you can brush it out. But make sure that it you use it in small amounts, not like me, I went crazy with it the first time. Whoops!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I also found that when I came home in the evening (I applied the spray in the morning), my hair had dropped but some of the shape was still there (maybe because my hair is wavy). If you have straight hair and are looking for a sea salt spray with a really good hold, unfortunately this is not your product.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Source: Google and Fudge.com</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I did like the packaging, the nozzle made it easier to distribute the product all over my hair. I really like the colour of the packaging and the edginess of the product.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You can get this product from </span><a href="http://www.superdrug.com/hair-styling/fudge-urban-sea-salt-150ml/invt/250091/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Superdrug</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> which I was really shocked to find, as this seemed like a salon sold product. It usually retails for £6.99 for 150ml which is reasonable. It is half price at the moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I will may repurchase as I LOVE the smell and I liked how 'beachy' my hair looked. I felt like I was on holiday in the middle of winter..weird! I am also interested in some other products on the website. Yep, I can hear my bank account cry from here. Bless!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Has anyone tried any of the Fudge Urban products? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And before I go... Enjoy! Beyonce didn't make this song for no reason ;) She knows :)</span><br />

I have been researching about hair care and the best way to help my hair grow.The best advice I found to not cut my hair as frequently as possible,but to nourish the ends, to prevent split ends. If your ends are not dry=no split ends.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I want my hair like this ;) </span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My hair type for reference is frizzy, wavy and can get oily very quickly. (unfortunate combination, I know!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My new hair hero is Coconut oil.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Coconut oil- helps to moisturise and keep the hair healthy and shiny. My Grandma used to used Coconut oil every day (because in Indian cultures, everybody swears by this stuff!) and when she passed away at the age of 74 she still had black hair, not ONE white hair and she never dyed her hair, so I guess I can say it works :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Since I was a baby, my Mum always put Coconut oil in my hair on a Sunday, which I would leave all day then wash at night. But as I got older, I rarely put it in my hair and quite frankly became lazy. And so my hair is paying the price!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hair oils can be used in different ways:</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Overnight</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Deep penetrating mask for 1 hour or more</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Quick mask for 15 to 20 minutes.</span></li>
</ul><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My Mum mentioned trying Coconut oil again and I have now begun applying the Coconut oil to my hair, paying special attention to the ends of my hair. Even though my hair is oily, I was actually quite scared that my hair would get really oily, greasy and I was dreading having clean hair that looked oily (as it may not have been washed out properly). The best way to overcome this is to use a <em>'clarifying'</em> shampoo so that it really cleans your scalp. Don't worry your scalp will have absorbed the amount of oil it requires.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The hair oil I use is solid. When it comes into contact with skin, it melts which is much easier than the other solid oils where you have to put the bottle in hot water, in order for it to be a liquid.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My hair oil routine: </span></u></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>Night before I wash my hair:</em> I just take a scoop and melt the oil in between my fingers then apply to my hair. I then put in extra at the ends. I tie my hair up or put it in a shower cap and then I go to sleep. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>Important: By putting your hair in a shower cap or towel will create heat which helps opens the hair cuticles and allows the oil to be absorbed and penetrated to the scalp. If you are going to sleep with the oil in your hair overnight, without a shower cap/towel (as it can be uncomfortable) then put a towel over your pillow so you don't get oil stains, which are really annoying to get out. But it would be best to sleep with a towel over your head overnight or use a shower cap.</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>Day of washing my hair</em>: If it's the weekend, (like a Sunday, which is the day I groom myself for the week, hair nails, etc) I leave the oil in an extra few hours. I then wash my hair with a clarifying shampoo. I shampoo twice then condition as normal. :)</span><br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My Thoughts</span></u></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Most people with oily hair types would stay away from hair oils, but I completely disagree. These natural hair oils provide many nutrients to your hair, so it is worth having a look at the hair oils on offer. I would personally recommend natural/organic oils as they don't have any bad additives, coconut etc that might damage your hair.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have found a <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">definite </span>improvement in my hair. The ends are much softer and I my hair feels lighter. But just remember to make sure the oil is washed out completely, so shampooing hair 2-3 times if needed. I only shampoo twice, like usual, but I massage my scalp and leave the shampoo in for 5 minutes then wash it out</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Where?- Any ethnic food shop. Don't bother buying it online the postage is like 3x the price of the product.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Price?- Around £2</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Remember to get one that says- 100% pure Coconut oil, Natural Coconut oil or Virgin Coconut oil, as they are pure.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Yesterday I went out with my bestie Cherise, we went shopping and then had a nice meal. It's so nice to see and have a catch up with her, we have THE best times :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I bought quite a few things, which I wanted for ages and I just never had the time to scoot and get it.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is the FIRST time I ever bought something for Kiehl's (sad but true) and I always pass out when I go into Kiehl's, its soo lovely in there, it makes you want to buy everything!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I bought the<strong> 'Olive Fruit Oil Nourishing Conditioner'</strong> in the smaller size (75ml) which was about £9 and <strong>'Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 in Mango' </strong>which was also £9. The lovely lady was giving me a sample of practically everything that I wanted to try! One thing I have to mention is that the products are a littlepricey at first look</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, but I haven't tried the products so at the moment I cannot say whether it is value for money.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I decided to get a hair product because I am beyond OBSESSED with looking after my hair. I really want it to grow as I have a wedding in my family coming up and my hair just does not grow :( I only wanted to buy the lip balm but when I went in the shop, this caught my eye, so I will keep you updated on how they pan out (excuse the pun!).</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I bought two rings from Republic which I LOVE! I always wanted these types of ring. You can wear a simple outfit and wear these kinds of rings as a "statement". I personally think it will be the perfect summer accessory.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.republic.co.uk/women/jewellery/ornate-diamante-ring-93910/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here.</span></a><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I went to Paperchase as well, which is the first one in my area, so woohoo! I am obsessed with this shop now. They have the cutest things in there, some stuff just made me smile :) I got a book, where I can write all my thoughts and general malarky in. Its divided into 4 sections and I have dedicated one area to hair and skincare brands that I want to try as there are soo many! But, the nicest thing I found was this <a href="http://www.paperchase.co.uk/invt/00494406/">'Checkerboard Pass Case'</a>, which was £4 (bargain!) and I will use to hold my Oyster card and my University pass. Look how nice the inside is. As soon I saw this, it was sold, my friend also bought one! Ahhh it's the little things :)</span><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And I also received my delieveries for stuff that I have ordered online:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My red wallet from Asos. It was on sale <a href="http://www.asos.com/French-Connection/French-Connection-Quilted-Purse/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2081666&Rf-400=224">here</a>. I absolutely love it. Its bright and red is my favourite colour, even though I am a 'safe' buyer, meaning that I buy everything in safe colours such as black and neutrals, so this wallet was a big step for me!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I got a few things from The Body Shop, a shampoo, a facial moisturiser, a body scrub and a lip product that I am really disappointed about :(</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anyone been shopping this past month? Any good finds?</span><br />

Woo!)</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Even though the 'festive season' is over, I am still rocking glitter nail polishes and I will continue to do so for the rest of the year :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I ordered these babes from </span><a href="http://www.beautybay.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Beauty Bay</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and I only got 3 out of a possible 5, this was for two reasons:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1) One didn't appeal to me (Pure Pearlfection)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2) The other (Set In Stone) was similar(ish) to my Barry M one (not exactly, because the Essie one does look better, but there would be no point!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The colours I got were: </span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>'A Cut Above'</strong></span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">A clear base with rose pink glitter specks. It's quite sparkly and it does look good when layered <em>thinly</em>. It has chunky glitter flecks as well smaller ones too.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyYZSq5GUIZzt-Mt-FLSEDb4pB9UsY6H3A4cJ9UFZtW4bMkLflNYP3j5n_S9VkS5xYKuNEFp0dan3H18oUCm-vL6iaSwBbed6Yu9qr4tZK9JaYeCXVt64XDStNB_s1Gp7vVKDJ3xAqKSDE/s1600/SV104850.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyYZSq5GUIZzt-Mt-FLSEDb4pB9UsY6H3A4cJ9UFZtW4bMkLflNYP3j5n_S9VkS5xYKuNEFp0dan3H18oUCm-vL6iaSwBbed6Yu9qr4tZK9JaYeCXVt64XDStNB_s1Gp7vVKDJ3xAqKSDE/s320/SV104850.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvb6lrVpUKfhDTDaPnZeOchfHDCMVlHckR0T1K6PNGUh0x3NUnwFj5uukxRvQCExMEamqNsm9k4AyjzjufE6UWc3eTPcMlEEf6C9mR1r0kT5hNYDVJUOw3XvlidJUv-E78gEKCtKXMc7Xk/s1600/SV104854.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvb6lrVpUKfhDTDaPnZeOchfHDCMVlHckR0T1K6PNGUh0x3NUnwFj5uukxRvQCExMEamqNsm9k4AyjzjufE6UWc3eTPcMlEEf6C9mR1r0kT5hNYDVJUOw3XvlidJUv-E78gEKCtKXMc7Xk/s320/SV104854.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>'As Gold As It Gets'</strong> </span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I am slightly disappointed by this colour. I had high hopes for it and it looks a bit dull. Maybe a few layers of top coat would help, but it is not as amazing as the other two colours I bought. The glitter is really fine and NOTHING like 'A Cut Above', this is more 'low key' and I would only suggest applying one coat for this colour.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>'Shine Of The Times'</strong></span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This colour is unique and my favourite. I personally haven't seen anything like this. I layered it over a dark base because I found this the most beautiful combination :) I think for summer, this would look really nice and iridescent over a pale base.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><u>Overall</u></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Each polish is 15ml for £7.50, which I don't think is that bad. But I have a feeling these might dry out quickly and I doubt many people would use them all the time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">All of the colours have good pigmentation and the glitter and specks are distributed evenly on the nail. A second coat will help achieve the desired look. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am obsessed with glitter and I need to get my hands on OPI's Muppet Collection.</span><br />
