Where have I been?<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, Happy New Year and best wishes to
all!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">I hope you’ve had a brilliant festive break
and are now ready to take on 2016 in all its glory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"> I
did a bit of a disappearing act but now as it’s the new year I thought it is a
good time to come back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">Over the past few months I have been
through a bit a whirlwind with some big changes. At the end of summer, I
finally decided what I wanted to do career wise and applied to university to
study a masters, this meant a lot of last minute preparation and involved
moving to Nottingham, a city that’s completely new to me. I’m still working
part time so there’s never a quiet moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">New year, new starts and all that, 2016
will be the year that I get organized and hit blogging hard. I think I am long
overdue writing some general life posts so that you guys can get to know me
better. Over the Christmas break I’ve been thinking of ideas for potential posts
and I’m really looking forward to sharing these with you over the next couple
of months!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">In the meantime, thanks for sticking by me,
best of luck for 2016! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Always late with the Birchboxes these days, it’s nearly time
to post the September one already! There’s no excuse for such a delay but I’ve
been mega busy, with some exciting new changes in my life at the moment, all to
be revealed soon hopefully. Now back to this wonderful Birchbox…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Overall thoughts:</strong> Another mixed bag I would say. I
absolutely love the rice scrub, it smells amazing, the texture is just right,
not a bad thing to say about it! I like trying out new cleansing products so I
hope the BioNike one doesn’t disappoint (not that I’ve heard much about this
brand, with all the Micellar waters out on the market, there’s definitely some
competition!). To my surprise, I have been absolutely loving the L. Erickson
hair band. It’s not an item I would usually pay attention to, but as I was all
out of hair bands this was the only one I could find to hand – and it’s
actually amazing! It’s really soft but supportive and doesn’t feel like it’s
pulling on my scalp at all, even when I have my hair in a tight pony … never
thought I’d be getting so hyped up about a hair band haha!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The summer months seem to have taken their toll on my weathered locks so it’s now in serious need of some tlc! Over the last weeks I spotted some bargains in Boots and Superdrug mainly, and just couldn’t help myself. Although I was mainly on the lookout for hair care products I stumbled across some styling products too (if you can class dry shampoo as a styling product, definitely a bare necessity for me!). My (mini) haul consisted of:</div>

And finally .. the<strong> L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Summer Saviour Nourishing Mask.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I’m really looking forward to trying out the Extraordinary Oil as I’ve heard wonderful things and the Urban Fudge dry shampoo, as it’s not really seen this brand around but my housemate swears by it so I thought I’d give it a go. I’m a big fan of Aussie products too, so will enjoy getting reacquainted with the 3 minute miracle as I haven’t used it in years!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you tried any of these products? Would love to know what you thought!</div>

So so late with this one, but couldn't not share the contents of my lovely Birchbox! July's 'Make a Splash' theme Birchbox (which actually came in a bag) was the summer holiday prep edition. With four varieties in the mix: orange for St Tropez, pink for Ibiza, Green for Hydra and yellow for Somerset, I received the lovely pink one!<br />

My 'Ibiza' bag contained: the <b>Balance Me Congested Skin Serum, Unani Aloe Vera Gel, POP Beauty Eyeshadow trio</b> in <i>Peach Parfait</i>, the <b>Benefit Dream Screen, Jelly Pong Pong Glow Getter Luminiser Gel</b>, and the <i>Lifestyle</i> item this month was a <b>Pura Vida Headband </b>in <i>Aqua</i>.<br />
<br />
Overall thoughts: I really like the super handy clear bag, especially love it because it's pink (and coincidentally I've not long returned from a lovely holiday to Ibiza myself. Overall I think it was a good mix of products, particularly the luminiser gel (I'm really loving highlighter at the moment)and the Balance Me serum, which are my favourites from this box.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly I must apologise for my disappearance! It's been an extremely busy summer for me, with holiday planning, going on said holiday, helping out with arrangements for a friend's hen do and of course, general life admin. Boy do I have some serious catching up to do! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been meaning to write about this for a while as I've actually been using a sample sized version for over a year and oh my goodness has my life been transformed! Ladies, let me introduce, the spectacular, <b>Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion</b>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwKIjhiQ5yK5rK6SbCtkkmbR49VxcpKpPp1x3doVjAFNU_ZvFnb-Wzy5dwhV9Q4kqY3klRykHMLV9fiQvo89KnZkpaozVMX4UDAnAbDMg-XO7iO6_WmcSTWGZL1vML0TAEbF9ppu09ABmh/s1600/IMG_9943.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwKIjhiQ5yK5rK6SbCtkkmbR49VxcpKpPp1x3doVjAFNU_ZvFnb-Wzy5dwhV9Q4kqY3klRykHMLV9fiQvo89KnZkpaozVMX4UDAnAbDMg-XO7iO6_WmcSTWGZL1vML0TAEbF9ppu09ABmh/s640/IMG_9943.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This primer has changed my life and saved me so much time! It claims to give your eyeshadow 24 hour staying power and YES! It does exactly what it says on the tin. I have the Original, which is my favourite, as it's the most versatile in my opinion, as you can wear it as a base under any colour combination and also use it as a base for glitter (anywhere on your face like if you're going to a festival etc). The primer potion is also available in the shades Eden, Minor sin, as well as an anti-aging one, pore perfecting or the brightening & tightening version. I have tried Eden in store and it is the most gorgeous shimmery, champagne colour which I would love to wear on it's own, however as a primer I didn't think it would be suitable to wear under blue, green or berry shades.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know what Urban Decay have put in this formula but it is absolutely amazing! I apply the primer at 8am, followed by a a couple of eyeshadows from my Naked 1 palette and it remains absolutely flawless all day, without the need to top up if I decide to go for dinner straight after work. It is absolutely ideal for festivals as your eye make up will stay on whatever the weather. It is also super handy for anyone who is extremely busy and doesn't have time to top up make up during the day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The original primer dries clear so make sure you apply it evenly before it's too late. My only grievance with this product was that it comes in a squeezy tube and I always seem to squeeze out too much which gets a little annoying, However, I shall suffer no more! As Urban Decay have revamped their packaging to incorporate a handy doe-foot applicator like they have in the sample sized primers. I'm just gutted that I only bought mine a few months ago so have loads left and won't be repurchasing this for a while. If you haven't seen the new version yet, here it is:</div>

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

After seeing it receive so much praise in the blogging world I knew I just had to try out the <b>Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer</b> ... and boy have I been missing out! It's brilliant! For a bargain price of £4.19 I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly when it lived up to the hype.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="text-align: start;">Not quite sure about it's "16 hour coverage" but it definitely lasts throughout your average 8 hour working day which suits me just fine. With 4 shades to choose from (a relatively limited selection) I chose number 1 - fair, which was actually a pretty good match for me so added bonus points there. </span></div>

The Lasting Perfection Concealer provides great coverage and blends seamless and I'll definitely repurchase this when it runs out. Great colour, great coverage, great lasting power and a very affordable price - generally not a bad word to say about it. It has a handy doe foot application which is easy to use and then I generally just blend with my finger. I still cannot believe good it is and it's less than a fiver! If you haven't yet tried it out - GO GO GO!<br />

Overall thoughts - reasonably pleased! (last month's box was difficult to live up to so I had pretty high expectations haha :P). I'm most looking forward to trying out the Caudalie tinted moisturiser and the sea-salt spray - which will be a perfect size to take away on holiday this summer.<br />

Having a sort out of my make up station over the weekend reminded me just how much stuff I seem to acquire and store without actually using, especially since I've been subscribed to Birchbox. To try and keep this under control, each month I'll be doing a product road test, trialing 4 products (predominantly Birchbox items) where I will include a make up item, skin care item, hair product and an additional random beauty product. At the end of the 4 week trial I'll post a " To buy or not to buy" review post with thoughts on whether or not the products worked for me.<br />
<br />
In this first installment I'll be experimenting with:<br />

The<b> Green People Intense Repair Shampoo, Caudalie Vino Perfect Radiance Serum, London Butterflies Bath salt scrub </b>and<b> the Calvin Klein Delicious Pout lip gloss in Sparkle.</b> I've already used these a few times this month, with a mixed bag of thoughts, so stay tuned to find out more! :)<br />

As much as I love high street stores for clothes, shoes and accessories I can't help to stray towards department stores to raid MAC or Urban Decay stands as I love them so much! So here's what's on my Spring wish list:<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
1. The most gorgeous <b>Winged Tote Bag</b> from Topshop, which can be found <a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/belt-buckle-holdall-3911405" target="_blank">here</a>. They have it in a few colours but the black is definitely my favourite.<br />
<br />
2. <b>MAC Mineralize eyeshadow quad</b> in <i>a Glimmer of Gold</i>.(I've been naughty and actually bought this quad already as they were so beautiful and I just couldn't resist). Can be found <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/shaded/154/29221/Products/Eyes/Shadow/Mineralize-Eye-Shadow-x4/index.tmpl" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
3. <b>River Island Bikini</b>. Love this set! It looks like it gives your a fair bit of support as both the top and bottom look quite structured. This combo really remind me of the Triangl bikinis but are definitely a more budget friendly version. The top can be found <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/women/swimwear--beachwear/bikinis/aqua-textured-bustier-bikini-top-662638" target="_blank">here</a> and bottoms <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/women/swimwear--beachwear/bikinis/Light-green-textured-bikini-bottoms-646430" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
4. <b>Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter eyeliner. </b>These are all absolutely stunning but I think my favourite is the probably the <i>Midnight Cowboy</i> which is the gold glitter. I'm already a cult follower when it comes to the UD eye products so needless to say these were bound to make their way onto my radar at some point. These gorgeous eyeliners seem like the perfect way to take a look from day to night with an added glam factor. The eyeliners can be found <a href="http://www.urbandecay.co.uk/eyes/eye-liner/heavy-metal-glitter-eyeliner" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
5. <b>Waterfall Blazer - New Look</b>. I love waterfall blazers as they can be worn as smart or casual, day night, perfect addition to any outfit. I really like this cream one but the red is lovely too, really summery. The blazers in a variety of colours, can be found <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/jackets-and-coats/red-waterfall-blazer-_329074460" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

With so much hype over lip crayons/colour balms I thought I would treat myself to a lovely new addition to my make up collection. With so many brands to choose from, after careful deliberation I opted for this Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balm in Demure, which is a sheer, shimmery pinky-peach shade.<br />

The colour balm is lovely, with a smooth texture and a gorgeous glossy finish, which I absolutely love. It leaves my lips feeling really tingly straight after application so I think it's got lip plumping properties. It tastes a little minty too, not sure how I feel about that though. In terms of wear, pretty similar to what you would expect with all glossy lip products - the lasting power isn't great, especially if you're eating and drinking, so regular re-application becomes necessary. I like to wear it over a matt lipstick to give it that oomph of shine, also helping to maintain the lip colour for longer. With so many shades to pick from it was difficult to choose my favourite, but I figured that as the 'nude' of the collection it will be perfect for any season, and as I usually wear heavy eye make up I can incorporate this into more looks.<br />
<br />
Now I just have to fight the urge to buy every single colour in the range as they are all so beautiful!<br />

Overall impressions - what a brilliant box! Really cheered me up after the let down of last month. I've heard so much about the well loved Liz Earle Cleanser so I was super excited when it arrived in my Birchbox! Definitely the item that caught my eye the most, closely followed by the Laura Mercier Mascara which I'm also eager to try out. Overall I think there's a great combination of products this month all of which I can see myself using - something's that's a bit of rarity!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully next month's turnout will be just as great :)</div>

Hello lovelies! For my latest nails of the day I have been trying out a recently purchased Models Own Hyper Gel gel effect polish in Lilac Sheen. As I was madly in love with my Hyper Gel Turquoise Gloss I bought a 10 piece set containing a gorgeous variety of colours (you'll see the rest in my haul). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first to try out from the set if this lovely pastel lilac shade, perfect for Spring time.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;"> Having high hopes after being so impressed with my last Hyper Gel I was extremely disappointed with this one! Surely you would think the formula would be the same across the range? Unfortunately apparently not! The consistency was nowhere near as thick and I had to apply 3 coats to achieve an opaque finish, which of course added to the application and the drying time. Managed to go for a few days without chipping, but nothing above average. Although I love the colour (and would wear the polish based on that) I was really hoping it would be easy to apply and have the anticipated shiny gel-like finish which it was kinda lacking. Nevertheless, I will work through the set and hope for the best.</span></div>

This cream is absolutely amazing! I have been using it for many months now and it's powers seem to get better and better. I have dry skin and find it difficult to find a face cream that locks in moisture really well and doesn't cost an abominable amount. Usually retailing around £20-25 is it definitely in the higher price bracket, however Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour gift sets tend to be on promotion several times a year offering a great selection of usually 5 products for a great price. Having read reviews and received recommendations I decided to try out this wonder for myself.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Positives</b><br />
<br />
-Perfect for dry skin (absorbs slowly and thoroughly)<br />
-When applied before bed, my face feels extremely soft and smooth in the morning<br />
-Using the cream a few times a week made a significant difference to the condition of my skin<br />
-Best moisturiser I have used in potentially forever!<br />
-A little goes a long way so the product lasts for ages<br />
<br />
<b>Negatives</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
-The scent doesn't appeal to me whatsoever<br />
-The sticky balm like consistency is hard to apply until it warms up from heat of your skin<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S As you may have figured out, as lovely as this is, it really wouldn't be suitable for oily skin as it is so rich.<br />
<br />
Overall I am very impressed and will definitely be repurchasing this product when it runs out. Great first and lasting impressions with just a couple of points that didn't make it totally perfect for me.<br />
<br />
Have you tried the Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Skin Protectant?<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello lovelies! How has March crept around so fast? I'm so excited about Spring and digging out my pastel nail polish collection, starting with this little beauty from the <strong>Binky London</strong> range I picked up at the Clothes Show Live. Using the <em>Rose Pink</em> (the pale pink shade) and <em>Pink Crystal</em> (the glittery pink shade) for this NOTD ... here we are :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfdFWT44k0dApLQVT0Sp1FBdTJt9u5KSnTH7vq1wt7aMAv-lh3mBFHDSEiqTbilv5njqdg6jGE4AuuziUF_Qbmuq9Jq-km1OdTLtg-ZAMY4S5at4k9vzkLKL2i2RHGVRikRdHH-XYEYGZY/s1600/IMG_8929.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfdFWT44k0dApLQVT0Sp1FBdTJt9u5KSnTH7vq1wt7aMAv-lh3mBFHDSEiqTbilv5njqdg6jGE4AuuziUF_Qbmuq9Jq-km1OdTLtg-ZAMY4S5at4k9vzkLKL2i2RHGVRikRdHH-XYEYGZY/s1600/IMG_8929.JPG" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both polishes are of great quality, especially for the very purse friendly price tag. The glittery polish in particular lasted for several days without chipping (even with no base or top coat) but was also easy to remove (which I don't usually find with glitter polishes, especially long lasting ones). A fairly new range, the Binky London collection has a good variety of colours and finishes, and at £2.95 you can't go wrong! I would like to say I will definitely be purchasing some more Binky nail polishes, but I think I have a bit of a nail polish addiction so probably shouldn't be buying any more for a long while!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you tried any of the nail polishes from the Binky range?</div>

Ready for some Chinese New Year celebrations I'm going to be heading into Manchester for the infamous Dragon Parade around China Town. I always seem to associate the Chinese culture with bright colours, especially reds and golds (not to mention gorgeous food), so for Chinese NY inspired NOTD I have used the <strong>Estee Lauder Pure Color nail lacquer GF Le Smoking</strong> as a base, with an <strong>OPI nail lacquer</strong> in <em>Gold Shatter </em>as a top coat.</div>

I've never used a shatter/crackle top coat before, but remember when the Barry M ones were all the rage. AHH I'm in love! This lovely gold polish is so much fun to use! The combo lasts really well too, and when it does start chipping it's not very noticeable due to the lovely pattern - what a bonus! The Estee Lauder nail polish was also lovely to use, it applies really well and when worn as base colour you can probably get away with only one coat. This is my new favourite nail polish combo and I can't wait to try out new colours from both of these brands.</div>

<strong>Overall thoughts</strong> - Pretty pleased with this box, glad to see there are three full sized items this month too. I think I'm most looking forward to trying the salt scrub (which smells soo lovely) and the illuminating serum. Spring is perfect time for adopting the dewy skin look so I'm hoping this serum will give my skin the perfect luminosity.</div>

Birchbox have now introduced the 'Slim Box' design, not sure how they're going to manage to squeeze everything in though! I like the current box as it is, as they're great to use as drawer organizers, but sadly I believe they will be bringing them out to all subscribers as of March.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little side note - in case you were wondering what happened to my January Birchbox... Well I thought my subscription finished in February, not January, so I was patiently waiting (as my December box arrived late), until I checked my account to realise that was it! Re-subscribing in the last few days of January, my box ended up arriving only a few days before the February box. So if you wanted to see what was in mine, here is a quick snap of January's Women's Health themed box:</div>

<span lang="">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">With Valentine's day just around the corner, it is the perfect occasion to wear a bright lip. Dark lip colours don't suit me at all so I've been dying for Spring to come around so I can go back to Spring pinks and Summer reds. Whilst riffling throw my lip stash I found this <strong>So Susan Lip and Cheek</strong> <strong>Sublime</strong> (stain) which purchased at the clothes Show (the trip before last). I was absolutely loving it last summer. Although I haven't really seen So Susan products on sale in stores, they are available on their website <a href="http://sosusan.com/en/7-lips" target="_blank">here</a>: </span><br />

I love this lip stain as its highly pigmented and applies really well. The staying power is pretty good too, as when the initial creamy formula wears off, the raspberry colour remains. Raspberry is probably the best I can classify this! The swatch looks pink more-so than red, however in natural light it is definitely more of red, but hey, you decide! Unlike other lip stains I've used, I like the fact that the formula is pretty much that of a lipstick, just with great staying power, as opposed to a thin more liquid-like formula that you tend to get with other stains, as I find they end up making my lips look and feel pretty dry.<br />

As much as I have rekindled my love for this lovely lip colour, I don't think I would pay the current price of £10 for it, I think I would probably go to a more well known/reviewed brand like Revlon or Bourjois if I was looking to get a new lip crayon/stain product.</span><br />

I always feel that January is a time for new beginnings so I'm keen to try out new products, especially ones I got over Christmas, my birthday or in the sale. This past month I have been absolutely loving:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD0FK_C27WJOVV4oTlA-Y4I8wSXuwns6PKC0bCVjW4cGyAc-WKH8o7BixvANLWivjZO5YvHyIRCetHAmmUI0lbbtSoK5-chcChyphenhyphens99X3mcCHe_buD7YqV72vr990nRiwjhTXwv-mG9aLLL/s1600/IMG_8892+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD0FK_C27WJOVV4oTlA-Y4I8wSXuwns6PKC0bCVjW4cGyAc-WKH8o7BixvANLWivjZO5YvHyIRCetHAmmUI0lbbtSoK5-chcChyphenhyphens99X3mcCHe_buD7YqV72vr990nRiwjhTXwv-mG9aLLL/s1600/IMG_8892+1.png" height="640" width="488" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<strong>Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Deep Moisturising Body Milk</strong> - This smells absolutely delicious! Along with this Sugar Crush is my joint favourite Soap and Glory range! It's got a gorgeous, almond-vanilla scent and packs in so much moisture into my skin. I really like the consistency of this body lotion, as it's not too thick, not too thin, but just right! I usually use it before bed and wake up with my skin still feeling super soft. If you haven't yet tried it, I highly you recommend you go and get your hands on some!<br />
<br />
<strong>Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette</strong> - How amazing is this?! I am obsessed with this palette! I got this for my birthday in December and have not put this down since! It has such a great variety of colours, perfect for every occasion - day or night, and the formula is lovely to work with. I'm going to do a full review on this palette as I love it so much!<br />
<br />
<strong>Kiko Smart Lipstick in 902</strong> - This has been my go to lipstick over the last month. I've only got two of these as Kiko is relatively a new brand to me (due to a lack of stores in my home town!) and this is the first Kiko lipstick I've used and I am already very impressed. It has a great creamy formula so I'll definitely be getting another one as they're a great buy for the price. This one looks a peachy nude but when it's on it looks more of a pinky nude.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Body Shop Shea Lip Butter</strong> - One of the best lip balms I've EVER used, it has been an absolute life saver in the harsh winter months as my lips have been so chapped until I started using this. It tastes amazing, smells amazing (like does everything from The Body Shop, lets be honest!) and feels lovely and nourishing on the lips. The only downside for me with this product is the fact that it's in a little pot so you pretty much have to use your finger to apply it so I don't like to use on the go, unless I've had the opportunity to wash my hands just before application (I could carry around a little brush with me but would probably end up losing it and then still have to resort to using my finger).<br />
<br />
<strong>L'Oreal Colour Riche Le Vernis Glitter nail polish</strong> in <em>822 Bronze Parure -</em> I posted about this last year when I first purchased it (you can see what the polish looks like<a href="http://lana-loves-lipgloss.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/notw-still-feeling-festive-with-loreal.html" target="_blank"> here</a>), it was one of my favourite polishes over the festive season, it is gorgeous, sparkly and lasts pretty well for a glitter nail polish.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I was initially going to do a post about a gorgeous SpaRitual polish in Ballet which I'd recently purchased, however as I went to put it with the rest of my nail polishes I realised I already have a very similar one! Turns out I'd had my Rimmel Space Dust nail polish in Aurora tucked away at the bottom of the draw, completely forgetting about it, even though I don't think I'd purchased it that long ago. As are very similar I thought I would show you them both. Rimmel is the more affordable brand of the two, with SpaRitual products are available at discount retailers such as TK Maxx.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So let's start with Rimmel. Great nail polish, great coverage after two coats, giving you an even coating of polish full of shimmer and sparkle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The SpaRitual polish is also full of sparkle, goes on very evenly and the brush is slightly bigger, making the application process quicker. I also wore two coats of this polish, however if you're in a hurry and literally have 5 minutes to do your nails you could get away with just one coat - like I did the first time I used it.</div>

Both are gorgeous colours and finishes and so in terms of appearance I like them equally. However if I had to choose my favourite I would probably be the SpaRitual polish as it seems easier to apply and last a day or so longer without chipping (cos that's always a pain when it comes to glittery polishes!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which of these do you prefer?</div>

Hope you've had a great time celebrating with friends and family and are now ready for 2015! 2015 already, where does the time go? Crazy to think that it feels like I was school 5 minutes ago but I've actually turned 24! New Year's Day is the perfect time to set resolutions and reflect on what you have achieved in the last 12 months (I will be posting mine very soon!) Hopefully by now you have all recovered from your NYE antics and are setting yourselves up for an exciting year ahead!<br />
<br />
I'll stop rambling and get to the fun bit - here are my NYE nails using the <strong>Models Own</strong> <em>Obsidian </em>nail<em> </em>polish from my December Birchbox:<br />

<br /></div>
<span lang=""></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="">Earlier this month I attended the Clothes Show Live held annually at the Birmingham NEC in the first week of December. Tickets to the event include entry to a 45 minute catwalk show in the Alcatel OneTouch Fashion Theatre, hosted by a number of presenters, additionally featuring a performance from current artists. As I went on the Saturday, the show was hosted by Rick Edwards with a musical performance form Jetta. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few snaps from the show (it was so hard to just chose a few!): </div>

An absolute fiend for the Beauty Hall, I usually buy my ticket last minute, not really worrying where I will be sitting for the catwalk, but as this year was my mum's first visit to the Clothes Show, as a special treat we decided to upgrade and purchase platinum tickets. Previously going a number of times as a standard ticket holder this was definitely a nice change! As a platinum ticket holder you get a seat much closer to the front (which was a total highlight for me as I could pretty much see every sequin on the gorgeous gowns on the catwalk) as well as a goodie bag containing the show programme and various samples, fast track entry to the Fashion Theatre, exclusive access to the Saks Platinum Pamper Lounge, the Manhattan Bar and the Designer Outlet clothing stand. The price difference between the tickets is around £12-15 which I think is reasonable (when the goodie bags alone are sold for £8). I prefer to see the show in the morning to have the rest of the day to roam the stalls and check out what's happening at the event in general. </div>

My favourite section as usual was the Beauty Hall, where I spent most of the day. Adjoining, there were (I think) three fashion halls containing a variety of stalls including a vintage section. Throughout the day there were a number of performances held at Olympus Pen Designer catwalk stage and at the Image Catwalk stage (which was in association with company.co.uk) which displayed work from established designers, fashion students around the country as well as catwalks showcasing the latest trends on the high street. </div>

Another thing I love about the Clothes Show is the opportunity to crowd spot or meet celebrities, where you could do so at the THX total hair experts pen. Frequent Clothes Show celeb visitor are the cast of Made in Chelsea including Andy, Stevie, Proudlock and Jamie and TOWIE including Amy Childs, Lauren Goodier and Mario. This year one of my favourite bloggers Fleur from Fleur De Force was also there, doing a lovely Q&A session which was definitely a treat! </div>

All in all in was an amazing day shop till you drop day and I had a great time. Probably went a little too crazy on the spending but hey, who isn't guilty of that at the Clothes Show?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This has turned into a pretty long post so please check out my Clothes Show Live Haul/Part 2 blog post to see what I purchased.</div>

Enjoy!</div>

December's theme was "Put on your party shoes", perfect for this month's festivities. The box was an exclusive design by Sophia Webster who put a gorgeous jewel twist on the regular design. </div>

<em>Overall thoughts</em> - this has taken over as my favourite Birchbox so far! Once again, receiving such a well compiled box reminds me why I subscribed in the first place. This box is a classic example of how a mix of high street and high end items can work together and I extremely looking forward to trying out these items. In fact, I think the nail polish will be my go-to for NYE nails. I've only got one more box left of subscription and I'll definitely be subscribing again! Just one last thing - how CUTE was the Benefit Cracker?!</div>
