If you saw my Golden Rose haul, then you'll have been awaiting this post! I am seriously mind-blown about these lip crayons. For roughly £5 you wouldn't think much of them, but oh my god are they amazing. I've never used something with such good staying power!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The crayons themselves are in the typical crayon product packaging, that look smart with their matte black casing and white wording. I also like having the coloured ends, so you know what you're picking up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The product itself is lovely, they are so smooth and creamy and easy to apply. The pigmentation is amazing, the colours really pack a punch. Being matte is always a worry for my mega dry lips, but they almost feel conditioning as they go on, and dry matte with absolutely no dryness what-so-ever!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, their staying power is what has really got me excited about these. I normally avoid dark lips at all costs when I know I'm going to be eating or drinking without a straw, as it's usually just so much hassle and you end up looking like you've just lined your lips throughout the course of your meal until you can reapply. Annoying! But, this doesn't move. Seriously. They won't budge from drinking without a straw, and it barely even fades from eating. <b>INSANE.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only gutting thing about these is that they're not available in the UK. Not just yet, anyway. I'm really hoping Golden Rose might break through into the UK, but then I think they wouldn't be such amazing value. If you're in Poland or Turkey (and wherever else they might have them) then I would 110% recommend!</div>

After seeing a few TV adverts about <a href="https://www.wahanda.com/" target="_blank">Wahanda</a>, I decided to give it a go. To be honest, apart from the hairdressers, I've only ever been to a salon once and that was a for a pedicure when I was 13 in LA. It does intrigue me, so I thought I'd download it and see what it was all about!</div>

All you have to do it create an account with your name, email and location. It's super simple to join up. The app then finds all the salons in your local area and filters out their treatments into 8 main categories. Each category also has sub-categories. If no-one if your local area does a treatment you want, you can expand your mileage.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Categories</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Hair</b> - filing under hair you can choose from <i>haircuts & hairdressing</i>, <i>blow dry</i>, <i>hair colouring & highlights</i>, <i>hair conditioning & scalp</i>, <i>hair consulting</i> and <i>Brazilian blow dry keratin</i> treatments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Massage</b> - showing offers of a variety of different massages: <i>therapeutic massage</i>, <i>deep tissue massage</i>, <i>Swedish massage</i>, <i>aromatherapy massage</i>, <i>stone massage</i> and <i>Indian head massage</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Face</b> - <i>facials</i>, <i>eyebrows & eyelash</i>, <i>microdermabrasion</i>, <i>HD brows</i>, <i>men's facial</i> and <i>eye</i> treatments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Hair Removal</b> - <i>waxing</i>, <i>hollywood waxing</i>, <i>brazilian waxing</i>, <i>threading</i>, <i>French bikini wax</i> and <i>laser hair removal</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Nails</b> - choose from a <i>manicure</i>, <i>pedicure</i>, <i>gel nails</i>, <i>two-week manicure</i>, <i>foot scrub</i> and <i>nail extensions & overlays</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Med & Dental</b> - includes <i>dental</i>, <i>teeth whitening</i>, <i>fresh breath</i>, <i>cosmetic injectables</i>, <i>dermal fillers</i> and <i>collagen</i> treatments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Spa</b> - the spa category searches for local spa's near you so you can book anything from spa breaks to specific treatments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All categories have the option of all treatments so you can see prices and what salons offer what treatments, or you can go on "other" and search for the treatment you want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't booked anything yet, but I'm planning on a massage and maybe a manicure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really rate this app, it works really smoothly and is perfect if you fancy treating yourself or a salon regular.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Have you tried out Wahanda?</div>

The one thing I couldn't get my mind off whilst on holiday was the Golden Rose store I found in the local mall. It's serious makeup heaven! The quality of makeup is amazing, and so cheap. I've come home wishing I bought more things. There's a limited range available for the UK, but it's nothing like what's on offer overseas!</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The nail polish is brilliant, they have hundreds of shades but I whittled it down to 7 colours and a fast-dry topcoat. Everyone needs a fast-drying topcoat in their lives! They do chip quite easily but their life is a lot longer if you use a higher quality top coat. These came in at 5L each (roughly £1.13)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I only bought one single eyeshadow as I don't really need anymore eyeshadows but I couldn't resist this pretty golden-orangey pink-toned one! The quality is amazing, it's so soft and buttery and blends amazingly. It's very, very similar in texture to the MAC shadows! I believe this was around 17L (around £3.84)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked up one lip liner as I didn't have a darker liner in my collection. This is a nice berry shade, and works really well under the new crayon I bought too! It's soft, non-drying and is in an easy twist-up tube, no sharpening required! This was 7.50L (around £1.69)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The matte lip crayons I bought are by far my favourite things I bought, I wish I had bought every colour they had! I'm doing their own review as they really deserve it! I picked up a rich berry shade, and a pink. They were 24.50L each (around £5.54 each)</div>

I really, seriously love the things I picked up from Turkey. I do feel a little guilty about some of the fake things I bought, as I normally hate fake goods but I gave in to temptation as pretty much every other shop has "genuine fakes" as they call them, haha. I also adopted a "someone like me will never be able to afford a real one" attitude, oops! Oh well. When in Turkey!</div>

So, I'm finally back. Having nearly 3 weeks off work has definitely been what I've needed, and I've even made some rather large life decisions. The time off to clear my head has been really good to me, and has made me realise what I want to do with my life. Yay!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, back to the post!</div>

Turkey has never been a place I've thought of travelling to. I've known many people go, many people love it, and many people return again. I've always been a bit nervous about it, as it's neighbouring some pretty dangerous countries, but once you get there, all nerves just vanish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We saw absolutely no hints of trouble anywhere in Marmaris, Icmeler, Dalyan or Dalaman. However, during the last few days of our holiday, Istanbul saw a fair bit of trouble.</div>

Marmaris is one of the main beach tourist areas, with many of the hotels situated either on the beach or around 100-200m away! All hotels own their own part of beach, which are chock-a-blocked with beds. The best way to experience the beach is by going on a tour to one of the many less-touristy beaches!</div>

We had an absolutely fantastic time. The resort is beautiful, in a bay with tree-covered hills lining both sides. You wouldn't believe how green and floral it was, especially with the heat. It was around 40'C each day, so very hot! However it was surprisingly comfortable, not too humid and it's so easy to cool down - just jump in the pool! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like we were very lucky with our hotel as well. We stayed in the gorgeous Blue Bay Platinum, which has been newly refurbished and modern. The outer building is white, with lots of glass panels and silver detailing. It's then lit-up blue at night, which really makes it stand out. Such a gorgeous hotel! The staff are all fabulous as well.</div>

Shopping in Turkey is how you'd expect. Every other shop is filled to the brim with fake designer goods for insanely good prices. Some stores have incredible fakes. Although I don't usually condone fake goods, I couldn't resist in the end and picked up a couple of items, oops!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some store owners are pushy, they are very good salesmen and will just keep talking. Some do feel quite aggressive, but it's easy to avoid those situations by just walking away if they pressure you before you even get inside! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Marmaris has a mall called Blue Port which I can recommend, they have an amazing makeup brand called Golden Rose which I'll post a haul on soon. The makeup is so cheap, but incredible quality!</div>

It's really such a beautiful place, I had some moments where I was wondering how much an apartment would cost! If you haven't been to Turkey, I really recommend Marmaris. Make sure you do some trips too!</div>

As many of you probably know, I've really gotten into my plants recently. Me and Aaron were quite lucky to get into Ball Colegrave, which is a huge site literally full of new and "experimental" plants which is usually only open for horticultural business owners and growers. We were put on the list to get in thanks to one of our suppliers at work!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought that this would make another very pretty post!</div>

I've kind of been obsessing over SheInside recently, I can't help looking on their website and adding things to my wishlist. So many bloggers and vloggers have things from SheInside, which is where my curiosity came from!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I continue with my wishlist of things I've spotted, I just want to say that I am well aware of the bad things I've heard about this company, whether it be bad customer service, poor quality clothes and slow shipping. I feel the best way to shop from here, would be shop through their Style Gallery (which is where customers upload their items/outfits) and check reviews on everything!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

*This is a scheduled post as I am on holiday til 12th August! :)</div>
Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181093529239533423.post-30069472028500996462015-07-31T08:30:00.000+01:002015-07-31T08:30:01.303+01:00Beauty Packing 101: Your Makeup Bag<div style="text-align: center;">
I've noticed a lot of people really struggling to pack their makeup bag for holiday. If it's one thing I'm good at packing-wise, then it's definitely my makeup bag. Fashion packing on the other hand is a totally different story!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tWQK4droXJc/Vbe6laq7xaI/AAAAAAAADVE/c5DVvZIdxxQ/s1600/makeuppacking1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tWQK4droXJc/Vbe6laq7xaI/AAAAAAAADVE/c5DVvZIdxxQ/s640/makeuppacking1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to keep to 2 rules when packing. <b>Keep it simple</b>, and <b>be realistic</b>. Are you really going to need 4 eyeshadow palettes? Or 10 different lipsticks? Chances are, you'll stick to one, maybe two, shades the whole holiday. As for all those travel minis, is a mini shampoo and conditioner going to be enough for your 2-week beach holiday? Definitely not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I'm still taking a fair amount of makeup, it's nowhere near the scale of my normal arsenal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me, it's mainly basics and about not wanting to ruin any of my favourite cream products. Getting a highlight/contour palette like the Golden Sugar palette from Makeup Revolution is fab, as not only does it have your face covered, it also passes as an eyeshadow palette! 4 lipsticks so you have a range of things to choose from, without going overboard. Four is enough for me; red, orange, pink and nude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brushes are another hard one, but just take your favourites that you know do the job.<br />
<br />
For the evenings, I'll have primer, BB cream, brows, mascara, highlight/light contour and a lipstick. For day, all I'll need is powder, brows and mascara! Planning out what you want is one of the best ways to do your makeup packing, as you will be able to condense what you take and able to decide on some multi-tasking products!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope this post helps with your holiday packing!</div>

Thanks to the wonderful happenings at the <a href="http://www.thebloggerslvehub.com/" target="_blank">Bloggers Hub</a>, I was able to try out the <a href="http://www.dollwhite.com/" target="_blank">Doll White teeth whitening strips</a>* that seems to have taken the blogging world by storm!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7-w3qmOgtAo/Vbe1ik4s1mI/AAAAAAAADU0/OnW_neDOa1Y/s1600/dollwhite.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7-w3qmOgtAo/Vbe1ik4s1mI/AAAAAAAADU0/OnW_neDOa1Y/s640/dollwhite.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doll White offer teeth whitening strips that are made with no peroxide, so they won't harm your teeth! They claim to be able to make your teeth brighter and whiter within just 14 days. I received a 7-day trial, which I was told I would be able to see a difference. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The strips themselves are really easy to use. In each sachet there is a set of strips, one for your upper teeth and one for your lower teeth. All you do is clean and dry your teeth before applying the strips, as this gives the best results. Make sure the strips are lined up with your gums. When I applied them, I folded back the excess strip to keep it out the way and to help secure it on. Just wait 30 minutes without eating and drinking, soak off the gel remaining on your teeth and you're done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, although Doll White claim there will be no irritability or sensitivity with these strips, I did actually unfortunately get a very sensitive/painful sensation when using these and for the day after. I do have sensitive teeth occasionally, however I started to feel some pain during the 30 minutes and experienced really uncomfortable sensitivity for the day after, which I was really disappointed about. Due to this, I didn't use the other 6 strips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As holiday is approaching fast I decided to stop as I didn't want any discomfort that could possibly spoil my time. I will definitely give the other 6 strips a go when I get back though!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope I have better luck with them next time. I'll do an update!</div>

I've wanted to do a shoe collection post for a while now. I personally love reading collection posts, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to throw my own into the mix. My shoe collection grows all the time, I'm expecting a Boohoo delivery as I'm typing this, which includes another 2 pairs!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never used to have a huge collection of shoes, and I still don't now, but I have a lot more variety than I used to. With shoes, I tend to buy a pair and wear them with absolutely everything until they are ruined. I've done it with everything, from Vans to Converse to little flats. But now my style is growing and changing and I'm feeling a need to expand my shoe-drobe! I also currently don't own any heels, haha.</div>

I don't think I've ever done a favourite nail polish post, or if I have it was a very long time ago! I thought I'd share some of my favourite shades that I've been wearing on my nails through these last few weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g8XR5-1qchc/VaFiYWOLGVI/AAAAAAAADQA/d4ylRhpYYz0/s1600/summernails1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g8XR5-1qchc/VaFiYWOLGVI/AAAAAAAADQA/d4ylRhpYYz0/s640/summernails1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Barry M: <i>Coral</i></b> - I love this shade for a typical bright pop of colour during summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>No7: <i>LE Spring Meadow</i> </b>- although originally released as a spring colour, I'm loving pastel shades for this summer. This mint green is stunning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Ciate: <i>Cream Soda</i></b> - I'm a huge fan of grey polish, and I wanted a lighter "pastel" grey for summer. Cream Soda is that exact description, although it needs a few layers to build up it's true colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Ciate: <i>Raspberry Collins</i></b> - a mini from the Beach House collection, this gorgeous bright pop of raspberry pink is your perfect summer pink. Currently loving on my toes!<br /><b>Ciate: <i>Doll Face</i></b> - from the Porcelain Collection, this shade is pretty pastel nude. Be sure to topcoat with your favourite topcoat (or matte topcoat) to prevent chipping, these chip a lot without it.<br /><b>Ciate: <i>Baby Doll</i></b><i> </i>- from the Porcelain Collection, this is a pastel peach. Like Doll Face, this needs a form of topcoat to prevent any chipping.</div>

One of the most recent things to catch my eye is <a href="http://www.thebloggersplanner.com/" target="_blank">The Bloggers Planner</a>. I find it hard to keep up with blogging sometimes, there's just so much to do! Writing, editing, scheduling and more. I've found that planning things out, setting myself schedules, writing checklists, ideas for future posts and even outfit ideas that spring into my head. Whilst I'm happy using a plain notebook I picked up from Tesco, as a blogger and sucker for all things pretty, I was hankering after something nicer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Bloggers Planner offers a wide range of planners, notebooks and printables to keep you organised with your blog, such as style journals, blog planners, meal planners, to-do lists and monthly calendar print-outs. You can also build your own planner, and each planner gives you the option of your own wording. Pretty neat, huh?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't ordered mine yet, but I'm planning on buying either the <a href="http://www.thebloggersplanner.com/collections/planners/products/the-bloggers-planner" target="_blank">Bloggers Planner</a> or the <a href="http://www.thebloggersplanner.com/collections/planners/products/the-content-planner" target="_blank">Content Planner</a>. They both include really great pages to help you keep on top of your blog, such as a stat tracker and even haul tracker. I'm finding it hard to decide!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason why I couldn't wait to share this before I'd even picked up my own copy, is because the lovely folks over at The Bloggers Planner have given me a 20% off code to share with you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simply use the code "<b>TREATME20</b>"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Enjoy!</div>

I'm starting to enjoy cooking. It's something I've never really done before, as I started full time work I didn't have too much to pay for so I ate out a lot, or bought in quick and easy meals. Not good, I know. Anyway, now having a bunch more to pay for I decided that it's more affordable, and better for me, to cook myself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to <a href="http://www.thebloggerslvehub.com/" target="_blank">The Bloggers Hub</a>, I got the chance to work with <a href="http://s470425189.websitehome.co.uk/posh/store/" target="_blank">Posh Pickles</a>, who let me sample their <a href="http://s470425189.websitehome.co.uk/posh/store/?q=content/product-display/spicy-sticky-barbecue-sauce" target="_blank">Spicy Sticky BBQ Sauce</a>*. I'm a huge fan of BBQ sauce, so I was really excited to be trying this out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first I wasn't sure what to do with the sauce as I had a lot of ideas floating around my head, but then I thought I may as well create one of my favourite pub dishes - BBQ chicken melt! The only difference is I used pre-diced chicken, as that's all I had in my fridge at the time.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cooking up was simple. I just cooked the chicken in a pan on the hob, then when done, I covered them up with cheese and popped into the oven til it melted. Finally, topped with the Posh Pickles BBQ sauce, and served with a side of curly fries we were ready to eat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sauce is gorgeous, I highly recommend. It's sweet and smokey, with a kick of heat to boot. I also love that it's not totally smooth, it gives it a lovely homemade feel. Food is better when it's loving made and not from a production line!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all, I really loved this sauce. I'm considering buying a full-size bottle, and trying out their other products!</div>

As summer seems to be officially here, I thought I would do a post on natural tanning. I'm definitely a fake-tan-free kind of girl, although I have been thinking about it more recently, but I still haven't caved. As I have olive skin, I tan very easily, so my main challenge is prolonging the colour. I haven't really been out in the sun properly for years (due to health reasons) so this year and on my holiday I'm making the most of the sunshine, especially as I look super ill with pale skin!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YukRzgMT35Q/VZ6qyOEEE0I/AAAAAAAADPE/L7ziQmWEceQ/s1600/naturaltanning1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YukRzgMT35Q/VZ6qyOEEE0I/AAAAAAAADPE/L7ziQmWEceQ/s640/naturaltanning1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>PROTECT YOUR SKIN</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is so important to protect your skin from the sun, even if you don't burn. The sun can really damage your skin, cause ageing and even skin cancer so I think it's really important that you use the correct SPF for your skintone and where you are in the world, also check out the star rating on the back of your sun cream bottle to check out the protection it gives you from other rays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the UK, I use a Factor 20 spray and that is enough protection for my skin tone. For my holiday in August, I have bought Factor 30. My BF however, is very white and needs more protection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When your skin burns, it really damages the skin and doesn't leave you with a darker tan. It may be darker for a few days, but will quickly fade. You also really don't want that irreversible damage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>EXFOLIATE!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To deepen your tan, all you need to do is exfoliate. By constantly removing that dead layer of skin, you tan has a chance to deepen and darken without being "shaved off". If the dead skin cells aren't removed, they will come off when you shave, which will slightly remove your tan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For everyday, I use a gentle everyday exfoliator from Sanctuary Spa. For a couple of times a week, I use a very scrubby scrub from Superdrug. It's probably one of my favourite things I've bought recently, as it leaves skin incredibly smooth and soft thanks to the added oils.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>AFTER CARE</b><br />For my time in the sun in the UK, I only use after sun if I've been in the sun all day at work. Otherwise, I just mosturise as normal. But for my holiday, I will be using after sun everyday, and everyday once I'm back home. After sun helps sooth and repair your skin from being in the sun, whilst helping the colour last that bit longer.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>MY TOP TIPS FOR NATURAL TANNING</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Always use an SPF that matches your skin tone, Boots have a good quiz on what sun cream you need depending on where you are and your skin tone. My general rule is the paler you are, the higher SPF and the hotter it is, the higher the SPF.</div>

This time last week me and Aaron took ourselves off to West Midlands Safari Park. As it's so local to me (about 20 minutes drive), I have been loads of times but I haven't been for a couple of years, plus their new dinosaur attraction really made me want to go. So much dinosaur hype at the moment! (Jurassic World is amazing if you haven't seen it already!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never get bored of going to safari parks, zoos or anything to do with nature or animals really. I absolutely love nature and animals, I love learning about it/them and like to support conservation and breeding. Also, it's not everyday you get to see such amazing animals so up close! My favourite parts of the day was petting an over-friendly zebra, having huge giraffes wandering around us and going on the off-road lion track and having lionesses walking right next to our car. So awesome! I took a lot of snaps of my day, so I decided to post my favourite images.</div>

The next biggest thing to send the beauty world into total meltdown is a new technique called "strobing". And just like when the beauty world went crazy over contouring, it has been a thing for a very long time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To put it really bluntly, strobing is just highlighting. Contouring, without the contour. It's something I have done for a while, I personally love it, especially in summer. It gives your face light and structure, without going heavy on makeup, which is one of the reasons why I love it so much in summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f1aBLgEh5Eo/VZ5-ttfTKQI/AAAAAAAADK0/w6gVLuWqWTU/s1600/strobing1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f1aBLgEh5Eo/VZ5-ttfTKQI/AAAAAAAADK0/w6gVLuWqWTU/s640/strobing1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Strobing, in my opinion, is far easier than contouring. Although I don't find contouring difficult, I know a lot of people really struggle to understand it or the best way to do it for their face shape. With strobing, all you need to do is sweep highlighter over your highest points; above the brows, on the brow bone, down the nose, on your cheekbones and your chin. Done!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am currently swtitching between 3 products for my highlighting, all of which are slightly different:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Highlight from Maybelline Master Sculpt</b> - this is probably one of my favourite highlighters ever, I hope Maybelline release it on it's own. A rather pale highlight, but blends perfectly into the skin and gives you a really natural light to your face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Makeup Revolution Golden Sugar</b> - there are 3 shades in the Golden Sugar palette that I enjoy using for highlighting. The first is a very white/silver highlight, that doesn't really suit me but is good for the brow bone and inner corner of eyes. The second is a champagne colour which gives me a more natural looking highlight, and the third is a gold - but without being too gold - which is my favourite for my skin tone at the moment. It especially looks great on a sunny day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Radiance Fluid from No7</b> - I still have this sample-sized tube from No7 of their Radiance Fluid. I really like this to luminise my skin underneath my foundation, or just on it's own. Pure radiance in a tube!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think of strobing?</div>

Part of being a beauty blogger and/or beauty addict is getting majorly excited for new releases. Especially new releases in which you can easily wear and afford.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LFwBpKdu-4o/VZkU1veoXiI/AAAAAAAADKE/O_PVi_DE9yg/s1600/KateMossNudeLipstick1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LFwBpKdu-4o/VZkU1veoXiI/AAAAAAAADKE/O_PVi_DE9yg/s640/KateMossNudeLipstick1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9BetW4fUo10/VZkUuPpEjAI/AAAAAAAADJ0/OqpSxD-xk1Q/s1600/KateMossNudeLipstick2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9BetW4fUo10/VZkUuPpEjAI/AAAAAAAADJ0/OqpSxD-xk1Q/s640/KateMossNudeLipstick2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really excited when I heard about Rimmel launching a new line of Kate lipsticks, a nude range to be specific. I love nude lipsticks, and I think I must own almost every shade of nude possible by now! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure what nude lipstick to get? Don't worry! At Rimmel stands they have a chart of which lipstick will suit what skin tone. #43 is probably the lightest I could go, especially as I normally go for caramel nudes or rose nudes, but this is a very warm true nude. And like I said, probably the palest I could go without looking like I had smothered concealer all over my lips. #43 is for warm skin tones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I quite like the packaging, it's a pale pinky-nude tube which I like as it matches the collection. I really like when brands step away from their usual packaging when they bring a collection out, I just think it makes the product feel more special.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lipstick itself is brilliant. I have come to expect no less from Rimmel, as they seem to really nail their lipstick formulas. It's their usual lippy texture, a sort of satin, without being drying.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really like this lipstick, I really want to pick up another one. I saw on the chart another lipstick that would suit me, it's slightly darker but I can't remember which shade it was, oops!</div>

Oh, how I have lusted after this item since Makeup Revolution released it. For so long this was an online-only exclusive (as is many of their items), and I never seem to be able to fill my order with enough excitement-inducing items to justify placing an order. Just recently though, they are bringing more out onto Superdrugs' shop floor. Hooray!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Latest to catch my eye were the blusher palettes, including the much-wanted cream blush palette. My eye, however, was drawn to Golden Sugar. I've wanted this SO badly, I'm just drawn to anything golden toned and I knew immediately that this would suit my skin tone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are 8 shades in this palette, 2 highlight shades, 3 blushers, 1 golden shade and 2 contour shades.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are all very pigmented as you would now expect from Makeup Revolution, especially with the white highlighter shade and golden shade really packing a punch.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My personal favourites are the second highlighter shade, it's a champagne colour so looks great as a natural highlight - perfect for strobing.This palette is great for experimenting. I will get wear from all of these shades as either face products or as eyeshadows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so happy I finally picked up this palette, I would definitely recommend it for everyone! It's a great palette for playing with, and will create some brilliant glowy looks.</div>

After falling in love with the L'Oreal True Match Foundation (<a href="http://eleanormaes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/loreal-true-match-foundation-review.html" target="_blank">review here</a>), I decided I wanted to give the True Match concealer a go. It's landed straight into my top 3...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-trFkMCSm9V8/VZglxBYRMAI/AAAAAAAADIk/5IIouWzxK2I/s1600/True%2BMatch%2BC%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-trFkMCSm9V8/VZglxBYRMAI/AAAAAAAADIk/5IIouWzxK2I/s640/True%2BMatch%2BC%2B1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fzuVskowOz0/VZglvgwr0BI/AAAAAAAADIY/LP_0jUldlpo/s1600/True%2BMatch%2BC%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fzuVskowOz0/VZglvgwr0BI/AAAAAAAADIY/LP_0jUldlpo/s640/True%2BMatch%2BC%2B2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Like it's foundation sister, the True Match concealer offers brilliant coverage. I would say it was a medium coverage concealer, which is great for under the eyes as it doesn't look too cakey, and doesn't really crease under the eye which is great, and something I struggle with quite a lot.<br />
<br />
The packaging is the bog standard concealer tube, with a fluffy doe-foot applicator. This is personally my favourite way to apply concealer, as it's quick, efficient and requires not much effort.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ii8hjKrBt-c/VZglwxBSLRI/AAAAAAAADIo/4OxGF6YT3nc/s1600/True%2BMatch%2BC%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ii8hjKrBt-c/VZglwxBSLRI/AAAAAAAADIo/4OxGF6YT3nc/s640/True%2BMatch%2BC%2B3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6cXwlY_xtO8/VZgl2P1nOqI/AAAAAAAADI0/5td2euNqHEg/s1600/True%2BMatch%2BC%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6cXwlY_xtO8/VZgl2P1nOqI/AAAAAAAADI0/5td2euNqHEg/s640/True%2BMatch%2BC%2B4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The formulation is good, and like I said above, provides medium coverage. I bought shade Beige, which is actually a lot paler than I thought it would be, but is good for covering any blemishes before my foundation. I will definitely be picking up a darker colour once back off my holiday!<br />
<br />
This is defnitely one of my top 3 favourite concealers, due to it's good coverage. The only thing I will remember next time is that I need to buy a darker shade!<br />

Just a little intro as I'm going to let the pictures do the talking for this one, but I work at a garden centre and summer is just beautiful. I'm surrounded by stunning flowers all day and I've been dying to get to do some photography and filming of them! Look out for my videos, I'm entering the YouTube game very soon, eek!</div>

As usual, my very regular trip to Tesco ended up with discovering yet another awesome cosmetic purchase. I was so excited to see one of Maybellines newly released Master Sculpt contouring kit for only £1.99(?!?!). I'm not sure why it was reduced, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and it's a new release. Anyway, I'm not complaining!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This kit is in the shade light, and it is by far too light for my skin tone. Anyway this isn't too much bother for me as 1. I've been using the contouring powder on my lids to darken them up (as they get very white after all my concealing... damn redness!) and 2. I've been preferring to "strobe" my face, which is a form of contouring using highlighter only.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The packaging on this product is quite smart, I do like the square glossy black casing. It's also really clever as underneath the powder there is another layer, which includes a little mirror and a small round brush. The brush is very soft and a really good shape for getting into the contour area of your cheeks and along your nose.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The powders are really great. I wasn't expecting them to be so silky and smooth but they are stunning and so easy to work with. The highlighter powder is really easily flaked off, and makes a bit of a mess, so you need quite a light hand when getting the product onto your brush.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both powders are very blendable and look very natural. I am actually really impressed with the highlight in this kit, it's exactly what I have been looking for, for so long! Package up the highlight and sell seperately, pretty please? :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am really impressed with this little kit, I think it's a great affordable contouring kit which is perfect for everyone, beginners and contour lovers alike. I especially can't recommend the highlight enough, I just wish there was more of it in the pan!</div>

Quite a while ago I bought L'Oreal True Match liquid foundation after seeing such good reviews, yet I never got round to reviewing it! I have now picked up another bottle, but this one is 2 shades darker as I am slowly tanning. It's hard to get a tan in England when you are dodging the rain haha!<br />

I have to say I was impressed with this foundation. This has jumped straight to my favourite highstreet foundation. It offers amazing coverage, a fantastic colour range and makes your skin look incredible.<br />
<br />
I really like the packaging. It's your average glass bottle with a pump, and personally, I feel like this is the best design for foundation. It's easy, fuss-free, mess-free and you can control how much product you use better, I feel. It is also a smart little bottle, I definitely think it has a more expensive feel about it.<br />

<br />
The product itself is absolutely amazing. I've never tried such a great highstreet foundation, plus it's only £9.99! The formula is pretty runny compared to a lot of foundations I've used but once on the face it's fine, gives fantastic coverage with ease and is super blendable. I find this foundation applies best with a sponge. It is non-drying too, which is the first thing I look at when buying a product.<br />
I really like the colour pay-off with these foundations too. I always worry about summer foundations as I need a much darker shade, yet it's so hard finding one that's not orange. Yet these manage to have darker shade foundation without having that slight orange tinge.<br />
<br />
I am so, so impressed with this product. I've been loving L'Oreal recently, keep up the good work guys! I am definitely a new fan.<br />
I'm also really impressed they have darker shades and a more wide shade-range.<br />

If there's one thing I know, it's dark under-eye circles. I'm always on the lookout for new products that could help me out, and changing up my makeup routine in the hope I may find something that works well on my tired-looking eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've seen Phwoarr Paint floating around the blogosphere for a while now, so I just decided to pick it up and give it a try!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The packaging isn't my favourite, although it probably is the best way to package this heavy creamy formula. It does come with a small mirror which is always handy.<br />
<br />
I don't think I've ever used such a heavy concealer before, it certainly doesn't lack coverage. I have pretty deep coloured dark circles and this does help a lot. I apply this before foundation, then add another concealer layer after my foundation for maximum coverage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find this applies best if I use a firm flat eyeshadow brush, then blended in using my fingertips.<br />
<br />
The one thing that bugs me about this product is that it can be drying. A couple of times I've worn this concealer I've noticed that my skin looks awful, like my makeup hasn't gone quite right or that my skin is really dry. It also doesn't stand up to heat very well, creating the same problem with dodgy looking skin!<br />
<br />
Overall, I'm pretty on the fence with this one. Maybe over time I will begin to love it more, I think I just expected a bit more from the product. It's great when I'm having a good skin day and I don't get too warm throughout the day, but of course these things aren't always avoidable.<br />
<br />
What's your opinion on this concealer?<br />
