L'Oreal kindly gifted me their Elvive Dream Lengths Wonder Water 8 Second Hair Treatment to try.<div><br /></div><div>The concept of 'hair water' was completely new to me, so before trialing it, I did a little research. It claims to resurface hair fibres for hair that is 10x smoother with glassy shine and a silky touch- in just 8 seconds. Beauty guru Nadine Baggott had a wonderful IGTV video that explains the technology behind the product. In a nutshell, Wonder Water contains Lamellar technology, which is made up of moisturising agents and amino acids that are 10x smaller than regular conditioners and masks. These ingredients target dry and damaged areas of the hair and create a lightweight barrier called Lamella. These molecules create a super glossy, silky finish that doesn't weigh down your hair.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixIGOWW0MFpOVtb1DpUwVLJ-PZdBIAMD7XhI4QvNl3Z17gR7jd8mi83wi-ujAXgfZ5QUr16H3WiBz7cLrqjONKoqtxPOXH7Pm5ukYfOWTDDmSTSji3YKzLyo2VC60tenGKkWKIavV2NEs/s1280/thumbnail_IMG_9620.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="L'Oreal Wonder Water Product photographed in a flatlay style" border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixIGOWW0MFpOVtb1DpUwVLJ-PZdBIAMD7XhI4QvNl3Z17gR7jd8mi83wi-ujAXgfZ5QUr16H3WiBz7cLrqjONKoqtxPOXH7Pm5ukYfOWTDDmSTSji3YKzLyo2VC60tenGKkWKIavV2NEs/s16000/thumbnail_IMG_9620.jpeg" title="L'Oreal Dream Lengths Wonder Water Review" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>The Wonder water fits into your hair care routine after your shampoo and you can follow with conditioner if needed. On the side of the bottle, there are lines to indicate the number of doses in a bottle. It states 1 dose for medium-textured hair and 2-3 doses for thick to curly textured hair. The consistency is slightly thicker than water, almost like a very watered-down serum.</div><div><br /></div><div>The bottle has a handy nozzle tip to help you to apply it. I shampoo my hair and ring out some of the moisture and then squeeze the bottle to dispense the product starting at the ends upwards. With the formula being water-like, it feels like half of it will end up running down the hair into the drain and it's difficult to see where you have applied it as it's clear, so you do need to take care with the application.</div><div><br /></div><div>There is a slight warming sensation as you apply it, then you massage it into the hair for 8 seconds. The first time I used it I didn't apply conditioner afterward to give it a good test. I have naturally curly and coarse hair so the thought of not conditioning usually terrifies me! However, I was pleasantly surprised, as you rinse it out, you instantly notice a slight smoothed feel. </div><div><br /></div><div>I did my usual hair styling routine after hopping out of the shower, I used my Dyson Airwrap <a href="https://www.cherriesinthesnow.co.uk/2020/08/dyson-airwrap-review-on-curly-hair.html" target="_blank">(review here),</a> to blow dry and then my Cloud Nine Hair Straightener to finish off. My hair felt more manageable and tamed and I noticed the shine too. My hair stays straight for longer and looks more glossy. I really do enjoy using this product. I have also tried the Wonder Water with a conditioner used afterwards and it just enhances the conditioners properties when used in conjunction with each other.</div><div><br /></div><div>I tend to use this 1-2 week switching between my normal conditioners and masks and the Wonder Water, as there are only 5-6 doses in each bottle.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's around £10 but I have seen it on offer for £5 at Superdrug, Boots and Amazon, so check out if there are any offers before you purchase.</div><div><br /></div><div>Have you tried the L'Oreal Wonder Water?</div>Kathryn at Cherries in the Snowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01531751651857419951noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021279260878134272.post-8274299602673876982021-04-04T14:43:00.002-07:002021-04-04T14:44:09.563-07:00Dyson Airwrap Review - On Curly Hair, Using It To StraightenI've lusted after Dyson hair products for a while now, after using my aunty's Dyson hairdryer a few years ago (very lightweight and dries the hair quicker than a standard dryer by the way). When they came out with the Dyson Airwrap, I thought it was a hair tool I'd never own, due to the price, but then I saw it on offer on QVC's website. At the time it was £390 down from £450, plus I had a £10 off refer a friend code too! I chose to purchase the Airwrap on QVC because they give you the opportunity to try a product out for 30 days and return it with no issues if you don't like it. With this hair tool being so expensive, I thought this was the ideal way for me to try it out.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_xZK95aFpvIW1lHULP-Scb-x7oLamPdFKMSVZibCuaclvVV-eMaOKTDsWb0PxcryB1SkJ1HpV8l1-G9kowvNdbrw3Hdu3kA4gf3ufXTayr9gVEKRE4ns-M-7jNMLkXvoYTW-RTNP6_oE/s1280/dyson+airwrap+review++-+attatchments.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dyson Airwrap with attatchmets on display" border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_xZK95aFpvIW1lHULP-Scb-x7oLamPdFKMSVZibCuaclvVV-eMaOKTDsWb0PxcryB1SkJ1HpV8l1-G9kowvNdbrw3Hdu3kA4gf3ufXTayr9gVEKRE4ns-M-7jNMLkXvoYTW-RTNP6_oE/s16000/dyson+airwrap+review++-+attatchments.jpg" title="Dyson Airwrap Hair Tool" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqYQYJhuR0xEXNJfxoovQdTrXdRN_SWJ_gyLHdQhMmEClll9Qfm07Ob-gGXUsmJct8cGRp2TR6DmrSeczmxldswBJvTQOw4WKSS58rI7f95T_hAhUwyBb8rbLcqg293EMGdHviECGpxRQ/s1280/dyson+airwrap+review++-+tools.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dyson Airwrap with tools on display" border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqYQYJhuR0xEXNJfxoovQdTrXdRN_SWJ_gyLHdQhMmEClll9Qfm07Ob-gGXUsmJct8cGRp2TR6DmrSeczmxldswBJvTQOw4WKSS58rI7f95T_hAhUwyBb8rbLcqg293EMGdHviECGpxRQ/s16000/dyson+airwrap+review++-+tools.jpg" title="Dyson Airwrap Review - Tools included" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheIy0SWIo4jt9NXXdR46Dqv1zNuNN6S-M_NYitgbmAt8BOPwYR_L1R5Tq7R5A8-kPHeHinb9HHqW2FzH1lfz7RH4xtjcmTR-WWdNcK7ECK-Qm6-IUkc1FHDgCxIDmPHm8ZF5j2IQnNHBI/s1280/dyson+airwrap+review+-+dyson+box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dyson Airwrap box in tan" border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheIy0SWIo4jt9NXXdR46Dqv1zNuNN6S-M_NYitgbmAt8BOPwYR_L1R5Tq7R5A8-kPHeHinb9HHqW2FzH1lfz7RH4xtjcmTR-WWdNcK7ECK-Qm6-IUkc1FHDgCxIDmPHm8ZF5j2IQnNHBI/s16000/dyson+airwrap+review+-+dyson+box.jpg" title="Dyson Airwrap Review" /></a></div><div><br />
<br />
I purchased the Complete Styling versions which has:<br />
<ul>
<li>1 x Airwrap base</li>
<li>1 x pre-styling dryer attachment</li>
<li>1 x clockwise 30mm Airwrap barrel attachment</li>
<li>1 x anti-clockwise 30mm Airwrap barrel attachment</li>
<li>1 x clockwise 40mm Airwrap barrel attachment</li>
<li>1 x anti-clockwise 40mm Airwrap barrel attachment</li>
<li>1 x firm smoothing brush attachment</li>
<li>1 x soft smoothing brush attachment </li>
<li>1 x round volumising brush attachment</li>
<li>1 x Non-slip mat</li>
<li>1 x Filter cleaning brush</li>
<li>Storage case</li>
</ul>
You can purchase the Airwrap in smaller sets, with fewer attachments, so shop around and see if they have a set that matches your hair requirements.<br />
<br />
The attachments simply click into place onto the base, then there is a button for the release. The base and attachments are very lightweight compared to a standard hairdryer.<br />
<br />
The base has two controls, on one side is the heat setting, which has three settings, two hot and one as a 'cold shot' to set curls. The other control is the speed of the air. These are in a good position so you can change the settings while still styling the hair.<div><br /></div><div>Before buying the Airwrap, I would have to blow dry my hair for 20 minutes with a normal hairdryer, it would usually leave my hair frizzy and bushy. I would then have to spend a further 20 mins using my hair straighteners to tame the frizz down. My hair routine was an ordeal! <br />
<br />
My two most used attachments are the pre-styling dryer and the firm smoothing brush (the paddle-shaped brush with the silver bristles). which is intended to smooth frizz-prone hair. After showering I usually wrap my hair in a turban for half an hour to let it dry. Then I use the dryer to roughly dry the hair until it's about 70% dry. The dryer is very powerful without being overly noisy. I swap out the dryer attachment for the firm smoothing brush to straighten the hair. I section the hair and then put the section into the smoothing brush and then go in slow downward motions like you were brushing your hair in slow-mo. It doesn't pull or create tension on the scalp, it just glides down smoothly. I usually do 2-3 passes over the section of hair but after that, it's completely dry and straight. It takes me roughly 10-15 mins to do my hair in total.</div><div><br /></div><div>The first time I used it I was amazed! My hair was so smooth, free from any frizz and it was so quick to do. I have noticed that my hair stays straighter for longer too and doesn't curl up at the first sign of any moisture. It's also been in better condition so I have been able to keep growing it with less damage to the hair. </div><div><br /></div><div>If my Dyson Airwrap broke tomorrow, I would not hesitate to buy another one. It has been life-changing and time-saving, I couldn't be without it! </div><div><div><br /></div><div>Have you ever tried the Dyson Airwrap?</div></div></div>Kathryn at Cherries in the Snowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01531751651857419951noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021279260878134272.post-12899015386142270052020-05-21T04:08:00.000-07:002020-05-21T04:09:34.398-07:00Affordable Dupes of 2020's IT Handbags and ShoesI've rounded up some of the best designer handbag dupes to save you ££££!

The moisture quenches any dry patches on my skin and the light consistency doesn't disturb the oily areas of my face. They have become my 'go-to' moisturisers over oil-free or mattifying moisturisers recently.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The two I currently have in my skincare stash are the Clinique Moisturise Surge Gel and the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. One is more high end and the other is drugstore and more affordable, so what is the difference? Are they comparable?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Clinique Moisture Surge is a cult classic! It's a super lightweight gel that melts into the skin, it instantly relieves any tight feeling after cleansing and soothes the skin. I notice a difference in my skin when using the Moisture Surge Gel, it looks fresher and plumped. It has a slight scent but nothing offensive and it is unlikely to upset sensitive skins.</div>
<div>
Germaphobes might not like the pot packaging as you have to put your finger in to scoop the product out. I have seen tiny little skincare spatulas on eBay so this might be a good way to get around this issue.</div>
<div>
The 25ml size is £25, 50ml is £37 and the largest size, 75ml is £46. It is often on offer in Duty-Free so keep an eye out!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is £12.99 for a 50ml jar, so it's considerably cheaper than the Clinique option.</div>
<div>
The most obvious difference is the scent, the Neutrogena Gel is more heavily fragranced which is a shame, as some people are sensitive to this. If you don't mind a scented product, it does give a very similar, plumped look to the skin as the Clinique. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I find applying the Clinique Gel much more luxurious than I do with the Neutrogena one, I wonder if this is a placebo effect, as I know it's more expensive? Both are lovely products, with only the scent and the price being the major differences.</div>

My sister and I decided to visit again and spend my birthday at Disneyland Paris this year before the COVID-19 lockdown stopped us from travelling.<br />
<br />
We did a Monday to Thursday trip in early February (this was about £500 cheaper than a long weekend visit), we managed to get early flights on the way to Disney and then later flights on the return journey, so we had as much time in the Parks as possible. We booked through <a href="http://disneylandparis.com/">DisneylandParis.com</a>, we selected the Newport Bay Hotel for our accommodation and got park tickets for all four days. We decided not to go for the dining packages as we didn't think we would need 3 giant meals a day, we wanted to grab light snacks on the go.<br />
We did, however, want to eat at some of the themed restaurants, so we made reservations before our trip. We booked Character Breakfast at Plaza Gardens, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, Bistrot Chez Remy and Cafe Mickey.<br />

<hr />
Newport Bay Hotel<br />
For our February 2020 trip, we decided to stay at Newport Bay, which has a cute sailing theme. It was a toss-up between Newport and Cheyenne but NB's closeness to the parks helped with our decision.<br />
<br />
The hotel and rooms have a blue, white and gold nautical theme. Our room had two double beds and a bathroom with a shower and bath, a great size for my sister and I. The rooms were pleasant enough and were cleaned daily. We didn't use the hotel dining areas as we didn't opt for a dining plan, we also didn't get to use the swimming pool or gym, so I can't speak for those. It's also worth noting that each floor has a hot drinks machine, you use your room card to get free drinks, it's coffee or hot chocolate.<br />
<br />
For our first trip back in March 2018, we stayed in the New York Hotel, which located is on the grounds of Disneyland Paris. It is currently under renovation/re-theming and will re-open as a Marvel-themed hotel.<br />
New York Hotel is a closer walking distance to the Parks compared to Newport Bay, so I think we would opt for New York if we were to visit again, plus it would be nice to see it newly renovated. Free shuttle buses run from all of the hotels, which is ideal for families if you don't fancy walking.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">FOOD</span></div>
<hr />
As I mentioned earlier, we didn't opt for a dining plan, we wanted to have light snacks for breakfast and lunch. When we were booking our flights and hotel with DisneylandParis.com, we had the option to pay for experiences such as Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and a Character Breakfast at Plaza Gardens. I believe if you have a meal plan, you can use some of your credits towards these experiences but we didn't mind paying for them separately.<br />
We also used the online booking system to make reservations at <a href="https://bookrestaurants.disneylandparis.com/bistrot-chez-remy/">Bistrot Chez Remy</a> and <a href="https://bookrestaurants.disneylandparis.com/cafe-mickey">Cafe Mickey</a>.<br />
<br />
Chez Remy<br />
My favourite restaurant was Bistrot Chez Remy. Themed on the film Ratatouille, the restaurant has giant props that make you feel like you are as small as a mouse/rat, which is great theming! I ordered the seasonal soup to start and then opted for the beef fillet with ratatouille and brie gratin potatoes. The food was incredible, a much higher standard than the other restaurants in the park.<br />

<br />
<br />
Cafe Mickey<br />
Cafe Mickey is located in Disney Village and is open later than the Parks, so it's a great place to have a late evening meal. I'd describe the food as American Italian. Cafe Mickey is another location where you can meet characters at the tables and have a photo. Go for the Mickey dessert it's amazing!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show<br />
We decided to book the Wild West Show as something fun to do at night. We booked it at the same time as our hotels but I believe you can buy tickets while at Disney.<br />
As you enter you are given a straw cowboy hat and are directed to the bar area where Goofy and some musicians keep you entertained with country music and dancing. You are then directed into an arena, with the performance area in the centre, covered in sand, ready for the actors and horses.<br />
The show combines Mickey, Minnie and Goofy with cowboy actors and horses to perform a Wild West-style show, I really enjoyed it. As you watch the show, servers come round with your choice of soft drink or beer, then the food comes out in courses, served in old fashion skillet pans and dishes. We had cornbread, chilli for starter and followed by a meat skillet which has various meats like chicken, ribs and sausages, served with wedges. Dessert was a warm apple crumble with ice cream. The portions were generous and all the drinks were refillable. If you like watching live performances or would like to have evening entertainment, I highly recommend the Wild West Show.<br />

<br />
<br />
Character Breakfast at Plaza Gardens<br />
If you are interested in meeting as many characters as possible and getting photos with them, I highly recommend breakfast or lunch Character Breakfast at Plaza Gardens. It's buffet-style dining sitting where characters come to the table for photos. The buffet is a continental style breakfast with hot food such as a cooked breakfast, as well as cereals, fruits and yoghurts.<br />
The meet and greet with the characters is very well organised, each character takes the time to come to each table for a few minutes. I think this is a great option if you have children so you don't have to wait outside in queues to see characters, the children can meet their favourites while sitting and enjoying breakfast.<br />
<br />
Victoria's Homestyle Restaurant<br />
If you are after the large Mickey waffles you might have seen on Instagram, head to Victoria's Homestyle Restaurant. It's at the end of the Liberty Arcade so it's a bit of a hidden gem. Seating is minimal, so be prepared to wait 10 minutes for a table to become available. Victoria's doesn't open until 3pm, so it's perfect for an afternoon snack. I opted for the Mickey Waffle with Nutella and the Olaf Hot Chocolate, both delicious and Instagrammable!<br />

<br />
<br />
Boardwalk Candy Palace<br />
<div>
You'll find another Instagrammer favourite at the Boardwalk Candy Palace on Main Street, the giant Mickey chocolate chip cookies. It's a confectionary store with a bakery counter inside. The Mickey cookies are delicious, they also have cute cupcakes in here too. Take your cookie to the castle for a cute photo.<br />

<br /></div>
Hiver Gourmand Stalls<br />
<div>
Next to the Ratatouille ride in the Walt Disney Studios Park, there was a mini food festival on called Hiver Gourmand, which runs from November to March. The food stalls are in Germany Christmas Market-style huts. You could get a small variety of cheeses, wines, hot food and drinks at these cute stalls. We enjoyed a lemon crepe in between rides.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">RIDES</span></div>
<hr />
<div>
February was much quieter than when we had visited in March previously, so queues were small and manageable. The only rides which had long waits were Big Thunder Mountain, Ratatouille, and Crush's Coaster, which is to be expected as these are the most popular. Buzz Lightyear Lazer Blast was closed for renovations while we were there which is a shame. I've covered some of my favourite ride experience below but we also managed went on smaller rides such as Phantom Manor, Mad Hatters Tea Cups and It's a Small World etc.<br />
I recommend downloading the MagiPark app which shows you wait times of the rides. You can also download the Disneyland app for maps.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Big Thunder Mountain</div>
<div>
We managed to ride Big Thunder Mountain twice during our trip, the longest wait was around 45 mins to an hour after lunch, but I did see waits of 20-30 mins in the morning and last thing in the afternoon. The well-themed ride takes you on a haunted runaway train ride that runs through gold mines and caverns. I absolutely love this ride, well worth the wait!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Crush's Coaster</div>
<div>
We used our extra magic hours to queue for Crush's Coaster early. It's not a tame, child-friendly ride like most people think. You sit in twos inside a spinning turtle shell, the ride takes you momentarily outside before moving you back inside into the dark. The first drop is the scariest but after this, it's so much fun.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ratatouille</div>
<div>
The Ratatouille is a fun child-friendly ride with 3D glasses for the effects. The ride makes you feel like you have been shrunk down to the size of a mouse or rat. You take a trip through the kitchen and restaurant featured in the Ratatouille film, with twists and turns. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pirates of the Caribbean</div>
<div>
We managed to walk straight into the Pirates of the Caribbean ride during this trip. You board a small boat and take a journey through different pirate animatronic scenes. There are a few splashes as you go down small ramps but you don't get wet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril</div>
<div>
Again, another walk-on ride with only a couple of minutes wait. This has a pull-down, overhead harness as the ride does an upside loop at the end. Another fun ride to try.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Star Wars Hyperspace Moutain</div>
<div>
The biggest rollercoaster at Disneyland Paris and the one I have to close my eyes on! You are catapulted through hyperspace and then into a dark space where you do loop the loops. The momentary paused throughout the ride really add suspense.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Star Tours</div>
<div>
Star Tours is a ride not to be missed by any Star Wars fans, young or old. Like Ratatouille, 3D glasses are worn to give the effect of travelling through space in a spaceship. Some of the character dialogue is in French, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it, even though I didn't know what they were saying!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">OTHER ACTIVITIES</span></div>
<hr />
</div>
Mickey and the Magician Show<br />
<div>
I highly recommend seeing the Mickey and the Magician Show, it was actually recommended to us by a cast member and I'm so glad I got to see it. Mickey trains to be a magician with some funny consequences, he meets other Disney characters along the way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Frozen: A Musical Invitation Show</div>
<div>
We visited during the Frozen Celebration, as part of this there was a special stage show available to watch. It has character actors singing the famous Frozen songs, so it's well worth a watch if you yourself enjoy the films or have a child who does.<br />
<br />
Parades<br />
As mentioned above, the Frozen Celebration was on during our visit, this meant there was a Frozen themed mini parade a few times a day, as well as the normal parade. You can see the parade times on the Disneyland app.<br />
<br />

<br />
Disney Illuminations<br />
The Disney app also shows the times of the Disney Illuminations. They are a must watch while at Disneyland Paris! A combination of light protections, water fountains, music and fireworks to create an awe-inspiring show. Be prepared, grab a good spot early and prepare to be stood behind tall people if you are short! Also, people ahead over to Disney village straight after the fireworks for food so eat before or after the fireworks to avoid long waits.<br />

La Taniere du Dragon</div>
<div>
There is a dragon under Cinderella's Castle! There is a walkway to the left of the castle, make sure you visit and get a video of the dragon snorting steam.<br />
<br />
Shopping<br />
Disney has the best souvenirs! I recommend World of Disney in Disney Village, this is one of the largest stores and has the best selection. Harrington's has jewellery including Pandora, so head there if you want Park Exclusive charms. For spirit jerseys, I recommend Main Street Motors, they also have a cool Cruella de Vill statue inside. Try and shop in the afternoon or at night as the shops are crowded during the day.<br />
<br />
Wow, this was a long blog post but I hope it helps you plan your trip! </div>

I picked two items from the Age Defend line, which is aimed at people in their 30s and 40s, even though I am in my late twenties. This was because I'm already using anti-wrinkle care in my daily routines and these two pieces had great anti-ageing claims.<br />

<br />
Now I have been using the products for a number of weeks, I'm able to give a full review. Starting with the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/64e6">Pre-Cleanse Makeup Remover</a>. It's a silky oil makeup remover that feels luxurious to apply. The oil cuts through long-wear makeup with ease. I will say if you choose to use this on your eye makeup, make sure you thoroughly rinse to ensure there is no oily residue in your eyes.<br />
<br />
Next up, as my second cleanse, I've been using the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/64fi">Age Defend Conditioning Cleanser</a>. What I love about this product is that it's so nourishing and soft on the skin. Its texture is almost like a cream, so it doesn't leave your skin feeling tight like foaming cleansers would. It's a pleasure to use! One of the key ingredients is Moringa Oil, which is rich in Vitamin A and C, both known to help brighten and refresh the skin.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I've been loving the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/64fg">Age Defend Replenishing Moisturiser</a>. It comes in one of those hygienic, push down tops. You simply push down the circle at the top and a small amount is dispensed from the middle, this saves you putting your fingers into pots. The moisturiser itself has a dreamy consistency, it's creamy but not too heavy, which means it nourishes the skin without clogging pores. Key ingredients of this product are co-enzyme Q10 and Matrixyl, which are great for anti-ageing. I can't say how this has affected my fines lines for the long term, but I do enjoy the product so far.<br />
<br />
All of Ark's skincare is vegan-friendly and they are very transparent about their ingredients, which makes it a great overall brand!<br />

From her tutorials, it's clear she likes a very, very light base, whereas prefer a heavier base to cover my acne scarring. So when she recommended the Revlon Candid range, I didn't think I'd enjoy using it, assuming it would be too light of a coverage.<br />

<br />
I've been testing the three base products in the Photoready Candid range, the Natural Finish Ani-Pollution Foundation, Anti-Oxidant Concealer and Anti-Pollution Setting Powder for a few weeks now, and absolutely adore it! I have the shades, 110 Porcelain in the foundation, 010 Vanilla in the powder and 001 in the powder, which as far as I can tell are the lightest shades in the range.<br />
<br />
The Candid Foundation feels like a thick cream, rather than a liquid foundation, a little goes a long way. It gives a satin base that looks seamless on the skin. You don't look like you are wearing anything cakey on your skin. It covers most of my acne scarring, if you had a fresh scar, you may need to add further concealer.<br />
<br />
I've been using the Candid Concealer under my eyes, I would usually opt for a lighter shade than my foundation but unfortunately, even the lightest shade in the range doesn't provide that highlighting effect. I don't mind this for an everyday concealer but would opt for a lighter concealer if I was doing a night out makeup look.<br />
<br />
The Concealer sits well under the eyes but does need a touch of powder to help prevent creasing throughout the day. The Candid Powder is perfect for this, it's lightweight and it's too matte and cakey. It has slight 'lit from within' finish that helps the skin look youthful. The powder has a plastic cap, meaning that the powder doesn't leak out of the holes when you pop it in your makeup bag, which is a big plus!<br />
<br />
All three products combined help to achieve a satin finish makeup base that has longevity. I find I do need to powder around my nose at the end of a working day but the rest of the base still looks flawless.<br />
<br />
Have you tried the Candid range?<br />

I love spoiling people with gifts, especially my boyfriend, but I do know how they are hard to buy for! I've gathered some of my favourite gifts for him which you can bookmark for birthdays, Father's Day, anniversaries and Christmas. These options range from the more affordable ..... to the luxurious <a href="https://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/personal-health-care/mens-shavers.html">shavers from Panasonic UK.</a></div>

I've seen these backpacks everywhere! They are both on-trend and practical with a rainbow of colours available. They are perfect for someone who loves to go on trips or walks.<br />

Gadgets are a sure winner as a gift for men. Panasonic has a number of shavers available, he'd be over the moon if he was gifted one, plus they last for years!</div>
<br />
<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/ZKlK">Star Wars Poster</a><br />
For any movie nerd, I recommend hunting on eBay for a cheap poster or print. I've seen some great ones for Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Pulp Fiction and Top Gun, so simply select a design of his favourite film. Alternatively, if he's more into travel, why not get him a print of his favourite city.<br />
<br />

If he's got a travel bucket list as long as his arm, gift him this beautiful book by Lonely Planet. He'll have plenty of inspiration and will want to book his next trip ASAP!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/ZQeN">Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette</a><br />
Aftershave is a great option if you are stuck on what to buy him. I picked out the Boss Bottled fragrance but I also love Diesel Only For The Brave and Paco Rabanne. </div>

<div>
<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/ZQbe">No7 Complete Shave Set</a><br />
Boots No7 have an amazing skincare line for men. This one is a shave set but they also have daily facial moisturisers and cleansers for him so these would come in handy, especially if he keeps stealing yours!<br />
<br />
What will you buy him?</div>

Living near Chester, Liverpool is so easy for us to get to, but if you are from outside the North West area, I highly recommend booking one of the many gorgeous <a href="https://uk.hotels.com/de547662/hotels-liverpool-united-kingdom/">hotels in Liverpool.</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We both love fine food, so we booked a table for lunch at the infamous <a href="https://www.wreckfish.co/">Wreckfish</a>. They offer high quality food in their stylish city centre location. I recommend visiting at lunchtime as they have two offers available, 2 courses for £19 or 3 courses for £22, and they feature some of the same dishes on their evening menu, so the lunchtime offering is a more affordable way to try the dishes.<br />
<br />
To start, I had the confit crapaudine beetroot, candy beetroot, smoked beetroot purée and sticky walnuts. In layman's terms, it was beetroot three ways with candied walnuts. The dish had a great balance of textures and tastes. My boyfriend had the charred mackerel, nut ragù, roast cauliflower and confit turnip, which he enjoyed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Our main dishes arrived shortly after and they looked amazing! I opted for the Jerusalem artichoke risotto, poached hen’s egg and artichoke crisps. I'd never tried artichoke before but I adore risotto, I wasn't disappointed! Some risottos can be bland, but Wreckfish's offering was very flavourful and wholesome.<br />
<br />

<br />
My boyfriend had the braised feather blade of beef, cauliflower purée, parmesan and truffle chips (£3 supplement on lunch offer). I have eaten this at Wreckfish before and confirm that the dish is delicious.<br />
<br />
Although we were both full, we couldn't resist a dessert! We choose the honeycomb semifreddo, dark chocolate sauce and fresh honeycomb, it was the perfect ending to our lunch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We continued to explore Liverpool to work off some of our lunch, we wandered around the shops and then headed to Albert Dock and visited the Tate art museum. It has free exhibitions, so well worth a look if you are in the area.<br />
<br />
We also stopped at the Smugglers Cove bar on the dock to rest our tired legs. It offered a vast range of ales and spirits and an exciting cocktail menu. I opted for a Smugglers Martini, which was their version of the classic Pornstar Martini.<br />
<br />

We had a great day out in Liverpool! What's your favourite thing to do in Liverpool?<br />

<br />

<br />
What's different about this hair treatment is that it needs to be applied before you shampoo and condition! It promises to be a 'super conditioning pre-shampoo treatment, which adds elasticity. bounce and shine to all hair types'.<br />
<br />
I find the best way to apply this is to wet your hair in the sink, bath or shower, then add the product to your hair and make sure it's covered from root to tip. I then use a shower cap as you need to leave it on for 10-20 minutes, I'll usually exfoliate and shave my legs in this time. Once done you can wash the treatment off and carry on with your normal shampooing and conditioning routine. If you don't mind sleeping in a shower cap or on a towel, you can also leave this treatment on overnight and wash off in the morning.<br />
<br />
When I came to blowdry my hair after the treatment, I noticed it was more manageable and had fewer tangles. The Coconut Breeze scent is incredible and a few people complimented me on it!<br />
<br />
This treatment is best for those who don't mind patiently waiting in the shower or bath. If that's you, it's sure to make your hair feel softer and smells amazing!<br />

<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YObp">Milk Makeup Matte Bronzer</a><br />
Cult Beauty know exactly how to get the beauty community excited about new makeup launches, everyone has been hyped up over Milk Makeup coming over from the US to the UK. I myself have been caught up in this whirlwind and I'm currently lusting after the Matte Bronzer. I love stick bronzers and contours because their formulas tend to blend seamlessly with foundation.<br />
I've also heard great things about their <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YObm">Kush High Volume Mascara</a> and <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOcP">Blur Liquid Matte Foundation.</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOb5">Soap & Glory Wonditioner Intensive Conditioning Pink Clay Hair Mask</a><div>
I'm already a huge fan of the Soap and Glory body care, their range is affordable and smells incredible. I wouldn't expect anything else for their new haircare range. They have <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOfA">shampoos</a>, <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOfB">conditioners,</a> <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOhm">serums,</a> <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOhh">dry shampoos,</a> and <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOiW">oils,</a> but it was the hair mask that has grabbed my attention.<br /><div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOjl">Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Liquid Foundation</a></div>
<div>
I wanted to purchase the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOjz">original stick formula</a> of the Hourglass Vanish foundation but had read reviews that said it didn't last long, so it didn't seem good value for money. However, I think this liquid formula would be easier to use more sparingly than a stick. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOjZ">Dr Dennis Gross Skincare Clinic at Home</a></div>
<div>
I'm not going to lie, the name of this piqued my interest. It sounds like it would pack more punch than your usual at home skincare. It contains Alpha Beta Extra Strength Peels (30 pads), Alpha Beta Pore Perfecting Cleansing Gel (60ml) and the Alpha Beta Exfoliating Moisturiser (15ml). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOlc">BECCA X Khloé Kardashian Bronze, Blush & Glow Palette</a><div>
Keeping Up with the Kardashian's is my guilty pleasure, I think Khloe might actually be my favourite sister. Her collaboration with Becca looks dreamy, this powder palette would be ideal for travel. I imagine the texture and finish to be the same as the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YOnb">Flower Beauty Supernova Celestial Skin Elixir Primer</a><div>
I watched a few interviews with Drew Barrymore on YouTube for the launch of Flower Beauty into the UK market and her charisma is so inspiring! The Supernova Skin Elixir seems to be one of the hero products of the line. It promises a glowy base to apply your makeup to. It would be interesting to see how the purple tone comes through on the skin!</div>

Yes, I know wearing makeup in the gym is bad for you! However, as I have quite a bit of acne scarring, I need a little coverage even when going to the gym. Having a more even complexion gives me the confidence I need while working out.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
The <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YNFz">Garnier BB Cream</a> has been around for years, it was probably one of the first BB creams to become widely available to the Western market. I purchased the Oily to Combination Skin formula in the shade Light. Unfortunately, this product has a poor colour selection, I believe it only comes in Light and Medium. I'm a MAC NC15 for reference and the Light shade is slightly too dark for me.<br />
<br />
I use my fingers to work the BB Cream into the skin, I find a brush tends to create streaks as you apply. Using your fingers really helps you to work the product into the skin. The consistency is light and moisturising, it doesn't feel too heavy and has a nice subtle glow on the skin.<br />
<br />
The one thing that the Garnier BB Cream does not cover is my under eye circles, so I do need a touch of concealer to cancel out the purple tones.<br />
<br />
I use the <a href="https://www.glossier.com/products/stretch-concealer">Glossier Stretch Concealer in the shade Light,</a> which is a better colour match for me compared to the BB Cream. I lightly pat this under my eyes, it's a moisturising formula, which again works best when applied with your fingers. It creates a brightening effect, which is ideal for a minimal makeup look.<br />
<br />
Both products combined give me the confidence to go to the gym, they are sweat proof and can be easily be removed after your workout. I don't think that either product would stay on all day due to their moisturising formulas but they are both quick and easy products to wear in the gym.<br />
<br />
Do you wear makeup to the gym?<br />

I’m always on the hunt for new base products, I picked up the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/SN2D">Match Perfection Foundation</a> and the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/SN1G">Powder</a> up on a whim. I thought they could be a good affordable option to wear in work. I knew the foundation was a medium coverage but didn’t know what the lasting power would be like, so also purchased the powder from the same range.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

My skin has really improved over the last few years, fewer breakouts and oils compared to my teens. This means that I can opt for a light to medium base, then apply concealer to any blemishes if I have any.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/SN2D">Rimmel Match Perfection foundation</a> has a buildable formula, it feels light on the skin and coverage any redness. Big blemishes or dark scars do need additional coverage, so keep this in mind if you purchase.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

The foundation does need powdering and lasts for 4 hours on me before oils start to come to the surface. It’s easy to blot those away though. I much prefer a lighter coverage foundation and blotting than a mask like, heavy formula that is uncomfortable.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/SN1G">Match Perfection Powder </a>is a loose powder formula that comes in a plastic pot with holes to allow small amounts of product through. Once you take the sticker off the holes, there is nothing keeping the product in bar a round face puff. I don’t use the puff to apply the foundation, I much prefer a brush, but I keep it to use to cover the holes. For this reason, I don’t think this product would travel well. You might end up with a powder explosion!</div>

I’ll continue to use both the foundation and powder from Rimmel as they work as a cheap option to wear for work. I’d love to know what foundation you like to wear for work, send me your suggestions!</div>

I’m obsessed with homeware lately and look for budget ways to update rooms! eBay is an amazing place for this. Homeware trends change and update frequently so I tend not to spend much on trinkets and soft furnishing. I’ve trawled the thousands of listings to find you up to date trend homeware pieces at an affordable price. I hope you like them!</div>

They are an online beauty product stockist that offers a wide range of brands at discounted prices. You can find the likes of The Ordinary, Benefit, Elemis, Max Factor and Revlon on their website.<br />

Victoria from In The Frow mentioned Pureology haircare on her channel a while ago and I decided to pick up a shampoo and conditioner from their Strength Cure line, I fell in love from first use and I'll always repurchase when I finish up my bottles! They genuinely do help to improve the strength of my hair and I have noticed less shedding since I starting using them. Their haircare is sulphate-free too.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.justmylook.com/beautyblender-sponge-pink-p10954" rel="nofollow">Beauty Blender Sponge</a><br />
A cult beauty product that the beauty community loves. I can't go back to using a brush after using the Beauty Blender. It helps blend foundation seamlessly and can also be used for other cream products such as concealer, blush, and contour. Justmylook sell the Beauty Blender cheaper than the likes of Beauty Bay and Space NK!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.justmylook.com/revlon-professional-coconut-all-in-one-hair-treatment-150ml-p5117" rel="nofollow">Revlon Professional Uniq Coconut All in One Treatment</a><br />
I originally discovered this through my hairdresser, she swore by this for detangling knots in wet hair. It's a thick spray that you distribute and comb through the hair when wet. It helps to smooth and detangle, but it also provides heat protection and prevents split ends. The treatment also smells like coconuts which is heavenly.<br />
<br />
I'm so glad to have these items back in my beauty stash! What have you repurchased lately?<br />

A brand that was always recommended to me for my skin concerns was Dermalogica. I've previously used a few of their skincare products for acne, but now the aim of my skincare routine is balancing my skin while working on anti-aging. Dermalogica kindly sent me a whole new set of skincare products to try. I've been trialing the Dermalogica products for around 2 months now, so I'm ready to share my thoughts!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj30egrUxTP7uDCi8sjeGfd6eJXU6QnlI5n5NqqY8xgdbib7TYwl_B5Y4MZb1xX1FeP6dy2EwMujja4snsy0Q5k4qSFj3sKIO3D73Y4syqpXhMYiB4M9EaUZ0l4LUnTNhCHTWiuWhVI8Ww/s1600/Dermalogica+%2523Skinfluencer+Skincare+Review.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dermalogica #Skinfluencer Skincare Routine and Mini Reviews" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj30egrUxTP7uDCi8sjeGfd6eJXU6QnlI5n5NqqY8xgdbib7TYwl_B5Y4MZb1xX1FeP6dy2EwMujja4snsy0Q5k4qSFj3sKIO3D73Y4syqpXhMYiB4M9EaUZ0l4LUnTNhCHTWiuWhVI8Ww/s1600/Dermalogica+%2523Skinfluencer+Skincare+Review.jpg" title="Dermalogica #Skinfluencer Skincare Routine and Mini Reviews" /></a></div>
<br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Qi6g">Dermalogica Pre-Cleanse</a><br />
This is the first step in the skincare routine, removing your makeup. This is a cleansing oil which comes in a handy bottle with a pump. I just take two pumps of the oil and massage it into my makeup at night. It instantly melts makeup and even works on breaking down waterproof mascara. It's a wonderfully luxurious feeling oil and works well as a first cleanse.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Qi6j">Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel</a><br />
For a second cleanse, I've been reaching for the cleansing gel. It's a foaming formula that deep cleans the skin but doesn't leave the skin feeling dry and tight. This product would work for all skin types too!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Qi7G">Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant</a><br />
This is the first physical scrub that I have ever loved, usually, I'd stick to a chemical exfoliant but this works brilliantly. It's a fine, gritty powder that you add water to in your palms and then massage over the face and neck. The formula doesn't scratch too hard at the skin or leave you feeling sensitive, so as the name suggests it's perfect for daily use. I have noticed my skin feels so much smoother after using this product.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Qi7K">Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum</a><br />
Don't let the scientific name put you off, this serum works to firm and brighten skin and can be used night and day. It's a lovely thin consistency which smooths over the skin with ease. The lightweight serum sinks into my skin quickly and I wake up with refreshed, plumper skin the next day.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Qi6n">Dermalogica Super Sensitive Shield SPF 30</a><br />
Of course, the last step in my Dermalogica skincare routine is an SPF, which is very important for protecting your skin against aging sun damage. Unlike some SPF's this feels lovely and nourishing on the skin and isn't too oily. The SPF also has a beautiful lavender scent so feels calming as you apply it. I use this under makeup and I'll also be taking it on holiday with me!<br />
<br />
I've really enjoyed using this Dermalogica skincare routine over the last few months. I've noticed my skin looks more fresh and glowy, I'll be repurchasing these products for sure! Have you tried anything from their skincare line?<br />

I thought I would share the latest products I have purchased and my initial thoughts, I haven’t done a haul post in a while!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/MUDO">Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara Waterproof Mini</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
I saw Allana Davidson rave about the non-waterproof version of this mascara on her channel, so I originally picked up that option. However, as the weather has got warmer, the pigment has started to transfer onto my brow bone over the course of the day. Then I saw Anna from the Anna Edit talk about the waterproof version, I picked up this <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/MUFN">mini one from Boots</a> to see if that improved transfer. After testing, I noticed not as much pigment transfers as the normal formula, however as I have quite oily lids and hooded eyes, I still do get a few smudges throughout the day. If anyone has a good recommendation for a waterproof mascara, tweet me!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
<a href="https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/range/essence-lotion/drops-of-light-brightening-essence-lotion/p/p001047">Body Shop Drops of Light Brightening Essence Lotion </a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
Essences have hit the Western market after being highly successful in Asia. So if you aren’t sure what an essence is (I was clueless at first), it’s a watery lotion that you splash into your hands and then apply to your face using pushing movements with your palms. It’s a hit of moisture after cleansing, which a lovely sensation if your cleansing product has left you feeling tight. This essence feels lovely on the skin and would be suitable for all skin types. I’m keen to try more essences.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

<a href="https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/face/face-scrubs-exfoliators/drops-of-light-pure-resurfacing-liquid-peel/p/p002286">Body Shop Drops of Light Pure Resurfacing Liquid Peel</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
This is a very strange product! It claims to help peel away the dead skin cells. You massage the product over the face for a few seconds and you start to see little balls, which I assume is meant to be the dead skin cells coming away, gross I know! I’m not sure I 100% believe in this product but I do find my skin feels squeaky clean after. I’d be interested to see what others think of this product.<br />

I recently broke my eyeshadow palette spending ban for this dream! I talk more in-depth about the palette in this <a href="http://www.cherriesinthesnow.co.uk/2018/06/breaking-my-no-new-eyeshadow-palettes.html">blog post</a> but overall I've been loving experimenting with the colours so far.</div>

This is such an underrated cream eyeshadow from MAC, I bought my first post all the way back in 2015! It's a mid-tone matte brown cream, it's a 'one wash wonder', simply apply a thin layer over the lid and then blend the edges. It creates a modern, slightly grungey effect and I love it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

I bought this on the recommendation of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/xkatiemiddleton/?hl=en">Katie Middleton</a>. She'd raved about it on her Instagram and I was searching for a primer that minimised the look of my pores. This product has a velvety consistency which creates a smooth canvas ready for foundation. My pores do look less noticeable and it does help my makeup stay on longer. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

You might have seen me purchase the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/MUEv">mini version of this concealer from Space NK</a>, minis are such a good way to try a product before splashing out! I loved the consistency so I decided to purchase the full size. The finish is not too matte or cakey, perfect for someone who has fine lines or dry under eyes. </div>

Liquid eyeliner is one of my favourite beauty products to test out. While shopping on Beauty Bay, I saw this cute mini from Eyeko. It's a very easy to use eyeliner which has a thin nib, perfect for winged liner. The only issue with this product is that it does smudge in the inner corners of my eyes in hot weather, not great for summer!</div>

I've seen so many Youtubers mention this when they get ready for events. They use it as a quick way to perfect the skin without having to fake tan. I'm yet to try the product out as I haven't had a special occasion recently but I have high hopes!</div>

If you haven't heard of Jake Shoes before they stock a number of well know footwear brands such as Birkenstock, Sketchers and Dr Martens. I was spoilt for choice but finally settled on a pair of Havaianas.<div>
<br /></div>

Flip flops are one of the handiest things to have in your summer wardrobe. I picked out a simple <a href="https://www.jakeshoes.co.uk/item/havaianas/ladies-slim-logo-metal-sandals-in-black/2GTCJ#.Wylhi-4vzIV">black pair of Havaianas, </a>as I thought they would work well with a number of outfits. I'd pair them with blue skinny jeans and a white t-shirt to emulate that <a href="https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/536561743081813967/">model 'off duty' relaxed style.</a> I also have lots of floral dresses that these black Havaianas would look great with, I'd just add a denim jacket for evenings. Of course, if I go away on holiday this summer, I'll be packing these, they are perfect for pairing with your favourite swimsuit!</div>

I found some lovely fashion inspiration via Pinterest on how to style Havaianas.</div>

Think most people would agree that it's a boring chore, so I started researching those spinning makeup brush sets hoping it would make it quick and easy.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I believe the original product was the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/LvMA">StylPro Makeup Brush Cleaner and Dryer. </a>However, when I popped into Boots to find out the price, I was shocked to see it labeled as £39.99. Personally, I thought this was a little too expensive for a plastic bowl and a battery operated spinner. So I hunted on eBay for a dupe. I clicked order and it arrived a few days later.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When the dupe arrived, it was boxed up much the same as the StylPro one, a cube-shaped box, with illustrative pictures on the side. The only difference was that it wasn't branded. The contents of the kit were the same too, a plastic bowl, a battery operated spinning device, a few rubber attachments to grip your brushes while they spin and an instruction booklet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I put the dupe to the test, my dirty makeup brushes were piling up quickly. The eBay dupe didn't come with any brush cleaner so I used my <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/LvMF">Real Techniques Deep Cleansing Brush Gel.</a> I added warm water to the bowl and added a couple of drops of the cleaner. The kit provides you with rubber grips, you simply slide your brush handle into the grip and then attach it to the main body of the spinner. These were easy to switch over and ensured the brush didn't fly off as the spinning motion began.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmN6j_p-XyetUBcoJBEbGPkRVlWdAnqBRZdmWytWtSKXTmYQeI5XYC0E5MKs1i_hkWaraWzHGLyHT-3jSKHhlMIt7qaGc8i1yniKmcDIVVtM3cQk8jtw4R3Du7txTOjQIPCe3wjTR4Gus/s1600/StylPro+Dupe+eBay+Brush+Cleaner+Kit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1063" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmN6j_p-XyetUBcoJBEbGPkRVlWdAnqBRZdmWytWtSKXTmYQeI5XYC0E5MKs1i_hkWaraWzHGLyHT-3jSKHhlMIt7qaGc8i1yniKmcDIVVtM3cQk8jtw4R3Du7txTOjQIPCe3wjTR4Gus/s1600/StylPro+Dupe+eBay+Brush+Cleaner+Kit.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The spinning motion was quite hard to get used too, sometimes it wouldn't do much at all and then the next minute it was zooming around! This made it really difficult to control the speed and make sure my brushes were spinning correctly in the water. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm not sure if it was the brush cleaner or not, but the cleaning kit didn't really seem to be able to get the makeup from the inner part of my makeup brushes. So I was having to take them out and rinse them in the sink to ensure they were roughly clean. I also used the spinning to dry the brushes, it did really help speed up the drying time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall, I'm not impressed by this eBay dupe, I think I'll stick to washing them in the sink!</div>

Back in the days of old-school blogging, my makeup dream was to create my own custom eyeshadow palette from MAC. Does anyone remember the hype over Woodwinked and All That Glitters eyeshadow? The drugstore didn’t really have eyeshadows that matched MAC quality.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

Then came along the Urban Decay Naked palettes, they beat the quality of MAC shadows every time for me. They are highly pigmented and are easy to blend.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

I have every Naked palette; however, they now lay gathering dust. So, if I love the quality so much why am I not using them? Every time I open a Naked palette I feel so uninspired, I've had them for so long. I was actually thinking of getting rid of them, so I put myself on a bit of a palette buying ban to avoid more items gathering dust. I hadn’t bought an eyeshadow palette since the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/LvBY">Urban Decay Naked Heat</a> was released back in August 2017.</div>

The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/LvBW">ABH Soft Glam</a> palette has been the only item I wanted to break my ban for since last year! One of my blogger faves, Lily from Pint Sized Beauty, raved about this palette. From online swatches, the colours looked so pigmented and buttery. Most importantly I feel the colours work in harmony so I can create a look without reaching for substitutes.</div>

I ripped open the package when it arrived, and it didn’t disappoint. It looked just as beautiful in real life as it did on online. I’m not 100% sure on the velvet style packaging but I’ll try and keep it as neat as possible. I can’t wait to create some new looks, it’s really inspired me to start experimenting with makeup again!</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Antipodes is a scientifically validated organic skincare brand from New Zealand. It’s a brand I’ve heard lots about through the blogging community but until now I hadn’t tried anything from them.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqWlKWRny5UJ8SVRrFlu0fxn826hEEz4u4LutA46Z7tHfXFMvFy2QprIuLPlTw751SVdtGSVoDKFSgf22bhgiPjrgyPc5EiPlLXxIaG8X_YBvz5nFSiulYV9iiH3fCi8MVPiGQovLl2MU/s1600/Antipodes+Gentle+Cream+Cleanser+and+Divine+Facial+Oil+Review_edited.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Antipodes Gentle Cream Cleanser and Divine Facial Oil Review" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1063" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqWlKWRny5UJ8SVRrFlu0fxn826hEEz4u4LutA46Z7tHfXFMvFy2QprIuLPlTw751SVdtGSVoDKFSgf22bhgiPjrgyPc5EiPlLXxIaG8X_YBvz5nFSiulYV9iiH3fCi8MVPiGQovLl2MU/s1600/Antipodes+Gentle+Cream+Cleanser+and+Divine+Facial+Oil+Review_edited.jpg" title="Antipodes Gentle Cream Cleanser and Divine Facial Oil Review" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I think a good cleanser and facial oil are staples in a skincare routine. Antipodes kindly sent me their Grace Gentle Cream Cleanser and Divine Face Oil with Organic Avocado Oil and Rosehip to test out. I’ve been using both products for a few months now and wanted to share my thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">First up the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/J0Ld">Grace Gentle Cream Cleanser</a>. It has the most beautiful thick cream consistency that melts away makeup and is gentle enough to use as both your first and second cleanse without stripping the skin or leaving it feeling tight. I believe it would be suitable for all skin types, even oily skin. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Unlike plastic bottles, the metal tube packaging of the cleanser means you can squeeze out every drop of the product, meaning less waste!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/J0Lf">Divine Face Oil with Organic Avocado Oil and Rosehip</a> makes my skin glow! Even if you have oily skin, I would 100% recommend using an oil such as this, it stops your skin from overproducing its own oils which can sometimes lead to spots.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Antipodes oil wasn’t sticky and didn’t leave me feeling overly greasy. I apply a few drops at night after cleansing, the Rosehip ingredient that helps to soothe my skin when it’s dry or inflamed. Plus the dropper makes the product more hygienic! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I adore the packaging of both the Antipodes Grace Gentle Cleanser and the Divine Face Oil with Organic Avocado Oil and Rosehip, they look great on your bathroom shelf. The scent of both products reflects the organic origin of the ingredients, I would describe it as an herbal fragrance. Some may be sensitive to this, but I wouldn’t say it’s a heavy scent that lingers all day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I’m dying to try their face masks next. Have you tried any Antipodes products?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Balance Me is a brand that doesn’t get enough love and attention in the beauty community as it should! I think lots of people will have seen the brand through beauty boxes which tend to contain their gorgeous hand creams and body washes but Balance Me has a beautiful skincare range waiting to be discovered.</div>

They offered to send me a selection of their products and I picked out the Congested Skin Serum, Gradual Tanning Drops, and Instant Lift Primer. I’ve been trialing them for over a month now and I couldn’t wait to share my thoughts with you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

First up, the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Jq56">Gradual Tanning Drops. </a>I bring these out when I want to fake tan as I can’t use my body tan on my face. The pipette makes it easy to dispense a few drops into your normal moisturiser on the back of your hand. Simply mix and then apply an even layer onto your face and leave overnight. I woke up with a subtle golden colour to my face, it’s a winning product for me, I love it! You can increase or decrease your drops to achieve the depth of colour you require.</div>

Lots of people have mentioned the Isle of Paradise Tanning Drops, they are a bit of a marmite product, some people love them, and some have ended up with orange, blotchy skin. If you are looking for an alternative to the Isle of Paradise Drops, I highly recommend the Balance Me Gradual Tanning Drops.</div>

The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Jq6a">Congested Skin Serum</a> was right up my street, I suffer from breakouts, blocked pores, and blackheads, as you might know, I’ve struggled with acne for years. The serum has a light-weight cream texture which has a wonderfully cooling sensation, I think this comes from the eucalyptus ingredient in the formula. It has helped soothe angry breakouts, hasn’t dried out my skin and works well under my moisturiser and makeup.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Jq6e">Instant Lift Primer</a> is designed to smooth over fine lines and texture, which I can confirm it does. It minimised the appearance of my pores, especially on my nose. I think this formula is more suited to a dry or mature skin, as it didn’t keep my makeup on as long as my usual primer.</div>

I’m so impressed with the quality of Balance Me’s skincare line. No fancy gimmicks or marketing bumf, the products do what they say on the tin. Have you tried any products from Balance Me?</div>

While browsing for dupes I also found a number of straw bags that looked very on trend! They are even more affordable than what the high street has to offer.</div>

I've been optimistically looking for summer pieces to add to my wardrobe, praying that summer is just around the corner.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tobi</a> got in touch and asked they could send me a few summer pieces so I thought I would show you what they gifted. I find laying out my clothes and taking photos helps when packing for a summer holiday so you can see what pairs well together and which of your accessories work best.<br />
<br />
First up was this <a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb/product/67640-tobi-chelsea-off-shoulder-crop-top?color_id=97509" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">long sleeve off the shoulder top</a> and <a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb/bottoms/skirts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">check buttoned skirt</a>. These work so well together. The top gives boho vibes but the skirt ticks all the trend boxes for S/S '18.<br />

<br />
They also gifted me three mini dresses, which can be dressed up or down. I'd 100% pack these items for holiday! First up is a slinky <a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb/product/61641-tobi-revelry-halter-shift-dress?color_id=88784" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">black halterneck backless dress</a> which is incredibly sexy! There was also a body-con <a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb/dresses/red-dresses" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">red dress</a> that would be ideal for summer nights out. For something a little cuter and daytime appropriate I picked out this <a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb/product/69862-tobi-eileen-polka-dot-skater-dress?color_id=100330" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">red spotted off the shoulder dress</a>, I love it!<br />
<br />
I'd love to know what you have been buying ready for summer!<br />
