<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, my most recent video is now LIVE yaaaaay. It's this Summer Sunset Smokey Eye look that was inspired by Shani Grimmond & Stephanie Avila (Insta @ssstephanieavila). Would love if you could give it a watch down below and leave some feedback.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you know me, you'll know that I have have an extreme obsession with false lashes, a whole drawer overflowing and can't leave the house without a pair! I was never blessed with long, beautiful lashes, instead, they're short, stubby and thin (thanks mum haha!) so false lashes literally SAVE me and every makeup look looks so much better and put together because, if I don't wear them, I look like a 12 year old boy *cries*</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The lovely guys over at <a href="http://falseeyelashes.co.uk/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;"><b>FALSEEYELASHES.CO.UK</b></span></a> were kind enough to send me some amazing pairs of lashes for me to try out. So, after bloody hours of searching through the different brands and styles on their website, I ended up choosing the Eyelure Vegas Nay Glamour Lashes and the Eyelure Exaggerate No 143. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/goog_1931841674"><br />
</a></span> </b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://falseeyelashes.co.uk/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;"><b>FALSEEYELASHES.CO.UK</b></span></a> is a website that retail for eyelashes and a few other bits, like eyelash glue and remover, mascara and brows. They </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Stock the biggest selection of eyelashes in the UK - over 40 different brands & 300 styles to choose (which is insane!!), from</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> affordable brands like <b>Eyelure</b>, <b>Ardell</b> and <b>Red Cherry</b>, to the luxury mink lashes like <b>House of Lashes</b>, <b>Velour Lashes</b> etc. Also, another plus, they have <b>FREE 1st Class UK Delivery</b>, which is amazing, so you won't have any extra annoying delivery costs and they'll be here the next day!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A little bit about the lashes I chose..</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b><u>EYELURE LONDON - VEGAS NAY GRAND GLAMOUR </u></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've seen this a couple of years ago and just couldn't believe how beautiful they were for 'drugstore' lashes and they look just like the luxury mink lashes too! If you follow me on Instagram (@katieamerrick) you would have seen that I only ever really wear mink lashes or very voluminous/bold lashes as thats what I just prefer, so when I saw these, I just HAD to choose these. They are so fluffy and they do have a thicker lash band, so they are a little harder to apply, but practice makes perfect, right? Also, what I love about the Eyelure falsies, is that they always come with their on eyelash adhesive, so you won't have to worry about spending more money on eyelash glue. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b><u>EYELURE LONDON - EXAGGERATE NO.148</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Again, another pair from Eyelure, but I bloody do love their lashes! These are a little more natural/subtle but still glamours. Because I have short, stubby lashes, I do like quite full lashes, so I thought this pair would be perfect for an everyday basis for length and volume. Some may think these are a little too much for everyday wear, but these are definitely toned down compared to what I usually put on! Also, again they have eyelash glue included (bonus!). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I honestly cannot get enough of these lashes, and definitely need to do an order on their website as soon as possible, as i've got my eyes on some beautiful mink lashes (I can't get enough!) and I definitely think i'll be getting all my eyelashes from this website from now on, especially with all the choice! If you've never heard of <a href="http://falseeyelashes.co.uk/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">falseeyelashes.co.uk</span></a> before, you seriously need to head on over to their website, because you'll fall in love and probably spend a fair bit of money (sorry in advance dolls)! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hey lovelies, i'm here with my monthly favourites for January! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Now I know I haven't done one in donkey years, I think my last was actually back in August (I'm the worst!!!) but since it's the first month of 2017, I thought i'd try and get back into these posts now as I love sharing my beauty faves with you all! </span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So lets get onto these beauty gems...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1. Anastasia Beverly Hills - A23 Highlighting Brush</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Okay, so this HAD to be in my favourites. In fact it's probably going to be in every monthly favourites! I got this A23 highlighting brush back in November and I haven't put it down since. I've legit been using it EVERYDAY without fail. It is a little pricey (well extremely pricey), but it's honestly so worth investing into getting one, your highlight game will be on a whole other level!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2. Ofra Cosmetics - Rodeo Drive Highlighter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is my absolute new OBSESSION!!! My brother got me this highlighter for Christmas and i've worn it every single day since. I've been lusting over the Ofra Cosmetics highlighters for a while now, especially Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills, so when I saw Hooked Up Shop stocked Ofra Cosmetics and my brother asked what I wanted, it was mean't to be! Rodeo Drive is a gold/champagne highlighter, it's so pigmented and glowy, and just overall the most gorgeous highlighter I own. I definitely want to get more, so keeping an eye out for when they come back in stock!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3. Maybelline - Age Rewind Concealer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This concealer is actually one of my all time favourites, but I hadn't repurchased it for ages (I don't bloody know why, cause it's so good!), until this month! I always buy the shade Light and use this on a daily basis to highlight the under eyes and cover those dark circles and the coverage is amazing. The only thing i'd love is if Maybelline brought this concealer with a bigger shade range as there is only 3 I believe!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4. Gerard Cosmetics - 1995 Lipstick</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've always loved the tone and shade of this lipstick, but never actually worn it since getting it last October until now. I saw this years ago from Jaclyn Hill and wanted it since then. The Gerard Cosmetics lipsticks are really good quality, so buttery, easy to apply and very opaque! As a plus, the finish of this lippie is matte, which you guys know are my faves! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This paired up with the Essence Berry lip liner is such a nice combo, as it gives off a berry/brown nude lipstick!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5. RCMA - No Colour Powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I bought this back in September, used it for a while, then put it down and forgot about it. But recently, i've picked it up again and haven't put it down since! I don't ever know why I stopped using it because it's such a good loose powder and 1/3 of the price of my Laura Mercier! It's a no colour powder, and is so soft & finely milled that it creates such a flawless base. I love love love to use this to bake my under eyes as it sets concealer beautifully without looking too powdery or cakey.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6. Lipcote - Browcote Brow Gel</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you saw my December Glossybox blog post, you would have seen this little gem in there and if not, you can go catch up <a href="http://www.katherineamyx.com/2017/01/glossybox-december-2016.html"><span style="color: #ea9999;">here</span></a>! For months and months i've been using a Benefit brow gel which has been my holy grail, but since receiving this last month, this has been the ONLY brow gel I've used. It honestly sets your brows like magic and emphasises the hairs nicely for a more natural look, only thing I can complain about is the smell as it kinda smells like glue, but it's not intense at all so I wouldn't worry!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">7. Essence - 05 Soft Berry Lip Liner</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Honestly, if you haven't tried the Essence lip liners, you must get down to your local Wilko's ASAP!!! For £1, the quality is bloody amazing. So pigmented and creamy and they have a great range of colours which I love and need to pick up more. This lip liner has become a part of my everyday makeup look and you generally can't go wrong with a £1 lip liner!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, were here at this time of the month again with my Glossybox review! Can't believe this is my first one of 2017 already... January has gone SO quickly, yet so slow, who else agrees?! I've seen a lot of people say they were pretty disappointed with January's box, but I'm pretty pleased with it to be honest! I still think December 2016's box was the best so far since i've subscribed to Glossybox, but I definitely enjoyed this month's subscription!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This month's Glossybox was the "Edible Edit with Deliciously Stella" with all the items pretty much <i>'good enough to eat'</i> but not literally and everything smelling HELLA' GOOD! Again, there were 5 full sized products, which is bloody amazing.. <i>Glossybox, you do know how to treat us! </i>It's so nice to receive full sized items and not sachets or samples where you can literally only use it twice. I was actually really pleased with everything, maybe except for one product, but you can't win with everything so i'm not really that bothered. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><u><b>NIP + FAB - Kale Fix Moisturiser | RRP £19.95</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is definitely my favourite item of this month's Glossybox. I honestly thought it would be the eyeshadow from The Balm, but as soon as I opened this box, I used this cream and haven't put it down since. This daily moisturiser consists of kale, watercress and almond oil (sounds so yummy). The cream enriches the skin, with t aloe vera and shea butter helping to sooth and moisturise the skin, which is definitely does! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've been using this daily after my skincare and it's even replaced my usual face cream! I really want to repurchase this cream once this tube runs out, but the price is a little bit over my budget, so we'll see if I love it enough to repurchase it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><u>THE BALM - Meet Matt(e) Trimony Single Eyeshadow | RRP £34 for the palette</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Super exciting seeing makeup from The Balm included in one of the Glossyboxes, I will say though, I couldn't believe how SMALL the pan was when I opened this shadow... BLIMEY! Absolutely love this eyeshadow, I actually already own the Meet Matt(e) palette, so i've used this before and it's definitely one of my favourite shadows from the palette. It's a deep purple/red burgundy, very creamy and extremely pigmented, which you can't go wrong with!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've only just used this cleaner tonight as I honestly completely forgot about it and it was sitting in my draws for the whole month (whoops!). I'm actually so IMPRESSED with this milk cleanser. Usually I don't faff around for cleansers and all sorts, just the basic skincare, but my god I LOVE THIS! I used this to remove my makeup and it did an amazing job and made my skin feel extremely smooth. Definitely going to be using this cleanser on a daily basis!</span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As i'm writing this blog post up, i'm currently wrapped up in my dressing gown with this face mask on, and thoroughly enjoying myself I must say! This is a Korean face mask, made with extracts of Manuka Honey (sounds so good!) and has a triple layer technology. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As soon as I saw the 'Manuka Honey' I was instantly excited to try it and it honestly left my face SO SO soft, amazing face mask! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I won't lie, I'm not buzzing about receiving a sponge in my box. Especially when I already have these type of sponges from Superdrug for like 50p. I saw others received a multi task balm, which I was looking forward to, and was raved about, so after seeing this I was extremely disappointed! This sponge retails for £7.99... I cannot believe that, because to me that is bloody extortionate!!!</span><br />

I also posted a photo on my Instagram a couple weeks ago and so many of you said you would love to see a review, so here it is!</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcJ8nzlZgCuGErwtTtDIFunq-zX8LR5CL07hxSh81K83YCuUc8zD__HdzjlrslDVtxnAkIcrWziUPKkmtkQfQZE9I-0ZD18S4oUH0buQVNn_b6TJ6qi_74UkGqBFcdEDZ6V6Nt_Vd35WE/s1600/IMG_9139.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcJ8nzlZgCuGErwtTtDIFunq-zX8LR5CL07hxSh81K83YCuUc8zD__HdzjlrslDVtxnAkIcrWziUPKkmtkQfQZE9I-0ZD18S4oUH0buQVNn_b6TJ6qi_74UkGqBFcdEDZ6V6Nt_Vd35WE/s1600/IMG_9139.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><u>Price & Description</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Starting off with the price, this foundation retails for £27 and you can buy it from SO many places; <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Urban Decay</span></a>, <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Debenhams</span></a>, <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Feel Unique</span></a>, <a href="http://www.sephora.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Sephora</span></a>, <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">House Of Fraser</span></a>, <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Selfridges</span></a> & many many more. You get 30ml of product, which I find is the standard for pretty much all foundations, so no complaints there and there is a HUGE range of shades including pink, yellow and neutral under tones, which is always great, as I find many brands lack in that department! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The description of this foundation honestly sounds like the PERFECT foundation for any of those oily skinned gals/boys, <i>me lol.</i> It's described to provide full coverage with a matte finish but not flat, a flawless finish that will last all night and it's oil-free,<i> sounds like a dream! </i>Also, it's claimed to be water and sweat-proof, which is a big bonus!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><u>Packaging</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You guys know my love for makeup packaging and you already know what i'm going to say... LOVE LOVE LOVE! I just honestly love how different the packaging of this foundation is. Usually foundation packaging can be simple and sleek, or be on the tacky side and I can appreciate this as it's just definitely my FAVE foundation packaging yet. I really can't fault the gun metal casing! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Another bonus with the packaging is that this foundation has a pump! It's the simplest of things, but I really prefer having a pump on my foundations. Another thing with the pump, is it actually shows you how much is left in the bottle once used which is just like the EX1 Invisiwear foundation, which I find super helpful. It's hard to explain, but the bottle pushes the product up every time it is used and shows you the level of product you have left!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05OLNEKYi04uKvTU4g_HhMl6iGCkWzI-GCiXCYC5nm77AyXmi43LPYppPEwvVDEdd4tlXfPWsMgfyEE2ywFqVfgDw5Ec3fAUivjsMkxHGRIYYGrYugSGj1HHEmGptHiehri2y1t-3DEY/s1600/IMG_9153.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05OLNEKYi04uKvTU4g_HhMl6iGCkWzI-GCiXCYC5nm77AyXmi43LPYppPEwvVDEdd4tlXfPWsMgfyEE2ywFqVfgDw5Ec3fAUivjsMkxHGRIYYGrYugSGj1HHEmGptHiehri2y1t-3DEY/s1600/IMG_9153.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><u><b>Wear</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I ended up getting the foundation in the shade 3.25 which has a neutral undertone as I found the shade 3 was a little too yellow toned for me and those with the .5 shades are pink toned. As I had heard it oxidised quite a lot, I thought I would go for a lighter shade, hoping it would then match. I do wish I had maybe gone a shade darker, as I do find it slightly too light for my complexion, but it's still definitely wearable and not extreme!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When I first applied it, you can notice it oxidising quite a lot and very QUICKLY (watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG3NNjUbBj4"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Holly Boon's video</span></a> review to see it in action, it's honestly CRAZY). As you can see from the photo above, the right swatch is it first applied onto my hand and left is when it had started to settle and the change in colour is rather a lot! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I wore it previously once, but only for an Instagram photo #bloggerproblems, so I couldn't really get a feel or impression on how the foundation would wear throughout the day, but for my first impressions, the foundation is very matte, not cakey, looks flawless and has great coverage! were that it really made you look flawless and had great coverage. The other week, I decided to put it to the test properly and put it on before going to work for the day and hoped for the best! U</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">nfortunately after 4 hours, it did start to separate on my chin and around my nose, which seems to happen to me with all my foundations, but this was worse! Other than that, the rest of my face looked pretty good, a tiny bit of oily-ness peaking through on my forehead but everything still looked presentable and intact. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><u><b>Overall thoughts</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I don't hate it, but I don't love it like crazy... kind of in between I think. I don't think it will be replacing my favourite <a href="http://www.toofaced.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Too Faced Born This Way</span></a>, and be a foundation I would be picking up to use daily, but I definitely would wear it again on occasions! I honestly don't think it's a bad foundation at all, especially for those with oily skin as I found it did keep my oils intact for longer, but if you have dry skin I wouldn't recommend it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I know, I know... it's pretty late to be posting my December's <a href="http://glossybox.co.uk/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Glossybox</span></a>, but I can't not! It honestly feels like FOREVER since I did my last <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Glossybox</span></a> blog post, but I am super excited for this month's box! I've only had 2 or 3 Glossboxes (I honestly can't remember and i'm being super lazy to check because i'm wrapped in duvet burrito rn) but I am so so so <b>IMPRESSED</b> with each month's box contents and so glad I changed over from Birchbox, <i>sorry not sorry!</i> This was easily my <b>FAVOURITE</b> <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Glossybox</span></a> so far, just everything from the packaging, and the products were definitely up my alley and all makeup related, <i>BONUS.</i> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Decembers subscription didn't come in the usual girly pink box, which I always end up using as makeup storage in my drawers (great use btw) as for Christmas they went and made it all festive with some white and gold packaging and a gorgeous beige & gold bow, which I loved! Everything was wrapped nicely in some shredded paper and as soon as I opened the box, I knew I was going to love it all. You just know, when you know!</span><br />

Obviously, you can tell I got sent the nude box, which I am super happy about as I'm a nude kinda gal!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, lets get onto the exciting part...</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">MDMFLOW - Semi-matte Lipstick in Bossy | RRP £18</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This brand is completely new to my eyes, but this lipstick definitely stood out straight away when I opened the box with it's sleek, bright gold packaging. I honestly didn't expect to love the lipstick as much as I do, usually when I receive anything lip related in these kind of boxes, they're not really what I would use, but the colour is a gorgeous taupe nude, not too mention the finish is semi-matte which is all I ever wear! I will say that the colour of the lippie does apply differently to the colour of the bullet, but i'm not complaining as I prefer the warm, chocolate nude and I know I will get so much use out of this as I've already used it a ton!<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">LIPCOTE - Browcote | RRP £6.99</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You guys may know by now, I love brow products and i'm always up for trying something new, so when I saw a brow product I was so stoked! This is essentially a little brow gel, that seals in any brow product for long wear and is waterproof. I actually tried this product the same day as I was dying to use it and I love it! I've been using the <a href="http://boots.com/"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Benefit Cosmetics Ready, Set, Brow!</span></a> for months now and this has been a good contender. It has such a little brush which helps get into all the little brow hairs and the product really emphasises brow hairs for a bushier look, which is what i'm going for recently! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I saw that there was two different products from </span><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://lipcote.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Lipcote</span></a> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">featured in this month's Glossboxes and others received a Lip product sealer, so I'm absolutely over the moon I got the </span><a href="http://lipcote.com/" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Browcote</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> as i'm in love and used it literally everyday since getting my box! Only thing I will say is, it kinda smells like glue... weird.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">ESSENCE - Light Up Your Face Luminizer Palette | RRP £3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">One of the items was this strobing trio from Essence, which I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. No photo does this palette justice I must say. For such an affordable product at £3, this luminizer palette is <b>STUNNING</b>. Of course, it's no BECCA Cosmetics or MAC, but it honestly does such a good job for the perfect glowy skin and is <b>SUPER</b> pigmented. In the palette there is three different highlighters, one satin which could be great for the under eye, and two shimmery, one gold and the other pink toned! So you get a real variety in the palette and i've had tons of use from it already!<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">REVLON - Nail Enamel in Grey Suede | RRP £6.49</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm never usually too pumped for nail varnish, as I hardly ever use them due to getting my nails done monthly, but as soon as I saw this in the box, I removed my nail varnish that night and had to put this on, I am in </span><b style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">LOVE</b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">!

<span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">GOSH - Mono Eyeshadow in Dark Green | RRP £8.99</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Lastly, I got a single shadow from Gosh who i've heard of before and i'm sure they are stocked at Superdrug. When I saw this in the box, I was really excited to try it as i've been wanting a nice green shade and although it's not the worst eyeshadow i've used, i'm not too keen about it. In the pan, it looked super glittery/shimmery and when swatching it showed different! The swatch in the photo above was me really going back and forth to get a good pigment, but with one swatch it felt really dry and didn't have much pay-off which is a shame. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I wouldn't personally buy this for the price it is and the quality as you can buy high-end single shadows for a similar price which I think are much better quality, or even Makeupgeek shadows for cheaper!</span><br />

<i>BASE PRODUCTS:</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Applying the base makeup has to be my favourite part of putting my makeup on, <i>weird I know</i>, and for primer, the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=508590224&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Benefit Matte Rescue</span></a> has got to be my favourite. I've used it non-stop since purchasing it and it keeps my face matte throughout the day. I couldn't choose, so i've included two foundations, the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=537611358&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Too Faced Born This Way</span></a> & <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=616726117&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless</span></a>, these foundations are just bomb.com for those with oily or combination skin, make you look absolutely flawless with the amazing coverage! I've tried a fair few new concealers this past year, but I always fall back to the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=611619950&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in Light</span></a> for highlighting under the eyes and the centre of the face, SO GOOD!!! For face powders, my most used is the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=328287473&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder</span></a> for baking under the eyes, and the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=476274936&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Rimmel London Stay Matte</span></a> for the face. Lastly, you may have seen this product mentioned in quite a few of my blogposts, which is the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Seting-Spray-and-Oil-Control/Makeup-Revolution-Pro-Fix-Oil-Control-Fixing-Spray-100ml/p/245602"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Makeup Revolution Oil Control Spray</span></a>, which is AMAZING. Love love love. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">No makeup is complete without some bronzing and highlighting!

<i>EYE PRODUCTS:</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My brows have been changing recently and I've tried quite the few brow products the past year but haven't found anything better than my special combo of the <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/anastasiabeverlyhills/dipbrowpomade?utm_source=google%2Bshopping&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=shopping%2Bfeed&selectedSku=ANAS0049F&ctyid=gb&gclid=Cj0KEQiAtK3DBRCBxt-Yxduq5p4BEiQAbFiaPdEh9xV-asB42aGBlcVc8wukhpevq30y_mGQdkR7cJoaAnN18P8HAQ"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade in Dark Brown</span></a> & the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=531454529&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Benefit Ready, Set, Brow!</span></a> gel which really defines all the hairs, love these two together. As an eye primer, I've loved using the <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/13840/1573/products/makeup/eyes/shadow/pro-longwear-paint-pot?cm_mmc=GoogleBase-_-ShoppingFeed-_-Eyes-_-Shadow&gclid=Cj0KEQiAtK3DBRCBxt-Yxduq5p4BEiQAbFiaPTEX-e9esx4yPdquy25QEwVw6DggVnhi05_xJreySnYaAu2v8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CKeckIP4ptECFUoT0wodM9kE1g#/shade/Soft_Ochre"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot</span></a> as it covers any veins or discolouration on the eye lid and is great for that clear base. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You guys, must know what my favourite eyeshadow palette is by now... literally the whole of 2016 I was obsessed with the </span><a href="http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/zoeva/cocoablendpalette/" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Zoeva Cocoa Blend Eyeshadow Palette</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">, I must have used it at LEAST twice a week. For single shadows, again the </span><a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Makeup-Revolution/Makeup-Revolution-Awesome-Eye-Foil-Rose-Gold/p/976360" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Eye Foil</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">, which I must have used a million times (great dupe for the Stila foils btw) and </span><a href="https://colourpop.com/products/copper-eyeshadow-sequin" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Colourpop Sequin</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> which is GORGEOUS!!! I'm not much of a mascara wearer, but my fave is the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=537406393&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara</span></a>, nothing else gives my lashes the length and volume that this mascara does. I literally wear falsies 24/7 as my lashes are so short, and my favourites is these cheap set of 5 from <a href="http://ebay.co.uk/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Ebay</span></a>, they're so wispy and fluttery!</span><br />

<i>LIP PRODUCTS:</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Lastly, onto the lips! I always prep my lips before I apply any sort of lipstick or liquid lip to keep them hydrated, cause no one likes flakey lips, and my favourite has been the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=532807197&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Dr.Paw Paw Original Balm</span></a>.

I just absolutely LOVE the formula of these, not drying at all, so lightweight! Althought I literally wear liquid lipsticks 95% of the time, my all time favourites that I still use now and then, especially for when I'm wearing a more natural makeup look is the </span><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=602576421&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">MAC Honey Love & Mehr</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I absolutely love Gerard Cosmetic's products, especially their liquid lippies. So after seeing this around Instagram here and there and browsing on the </span><a href="http://www.beautybay.com/" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Beauty Bay</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> website, I ended up giving in and buying their <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/gerardcosmetics/slayalldaysettingspray?utm_source=google%2Bshopping&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=shopping%2Bfeed&selectedSku=GECO0106F&ctyid=gb&gclid=CjwKEAiA7ejCBRDlp8uF6ezPnjoSJAAPED7M35Vc97LvBt3NGa4s_noLv8wpTweQbErX5pihLWzbYxoCNnDw_wcB"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Slay All Day Setting Spray</span></a>! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I thought i'd do a quick blog post with my thoughts and review on this setting spray as after searching, I never really found much about it and if I did, it was nothing but good reviews, so I wanted to share my honest opinion with you guys, what I liked and what I didn't like about the product. Let me know in the comments if you've tried these sprays and what you thought!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">PRICE AND PACKAGING</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Of course, as always i'm starting off with the packing. Yes. The packaging is great, no denying that! It's definitely the biggest aspect to which it attracted me to the product in the first place, not the product itself and the wear but the packaging (if you've read my previous reviews, you know how much I care about it!). </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Price wise, it currently retails on <a href="http://beautybay.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">beautybay.com</span></a> for £14.50 which i'm like 99.9% sure has increased as I bought it a couple months ago for £12.50... weird. I think for the price I paid, it's pretty reasonable with the quality of the spray, but what it's retailing for now, I personally wouldn't bother and would just opt out an extra fiver and go for the Urban Decay sprays as they are bomb. I know it's literally an extra £2, but you know, there's a line, thats nearly £15 and in my opinion it's not worth it!</span><br />

</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>PRODUCT PERFORMANCE</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There is currently 7 different "flavours" (is that what it's called?) or scents of the <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/gerardcosmetics/slayalldaysettingspray?utm_source=google%2Bshopping&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=shopping%2Bfeed&selectedSku=GECO0106F&ctyid=gb&gclid=CjwKEAiA7ejCBRDlp8uF6ezPnjoSJAAPED7M35Vc97LvBt3NGa4s_noLv8wpTweQbErX5pihLWzbYxoCNnDw_wcB"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Slay All Day Spray</span></a>, and as you can see from the photos, I chose the scent in 'Jasmine' which came in the pretty pink bottle. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Now, there's no doubt that this product doesn't keep your makeup in place all day.. because it does! As it's a matte setting spray, it really locks in your makeup and any oils and does a great job at that. However, even though I have oily-combo skin, I find that</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> it really dulls my highlight and I honestly feel 'too matte' if thats even a thing? I like to look a little hydrated and not 'flat'?!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">However, my main problem with this setting spray is the scent. There's no denying that jasmine is a horrid scent anyways, </span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">well in my opinion, god knows why I chose it! </i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">But, I find this spray unbearable. At first, I thought "Ooo, this smells a little funky" but as time has gone on and i've used it more, i've unfortunately had to stop using it as I just can't stand it! Obviously, it could be different for anyone else, they may love it so don't hold that against me, but I really wish I had chosen a different scented spray, possibly Cucumber or something. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>MY OVERALL THOUGHTS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My overall thoughts on this product is basically a thumbs down unfortunately. I don't think the formula of the setting spray is all that bad, it's more the scent for me. Having chosen Jasmine, the scent of the spray is REALLY bad and extremely distinctive! I tried passing the scent and using it, but it's literally impossible, and anything I wore whilst I sprayed this setting spray picked it up like sh*t to a blanket and smelt like I was wearing it as a bloody perfume for day, <i>ew! </i>I honestly wish I brought a different scent, but who know's if they would be the same? What are your thoughts on this setting spray?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It's only bloody 4 sleeps until Christmas... AHHHH where has the time gone? So I thought i'd do a last minute (yes, very last minute guys) blog post featuring some great product ideas for stocking fillers or if you like gifts! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm not planning on doing one for guys, as they're bloody hard to buy for I swear! But, if you're a guy and you don't receive a Lynx set, then do your parents even like you?... I'm joking, but seriously, I don't know one guy that hasn't received a Lynx set at Christmas.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As you guys know me, most of these ideas are beauty related, whether it's makeup, toiletries, hair care etc. so if you know someone who is utterly beauty obsessed, these will be perfect for them! Btw, how cute is my Christmas confetti?!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>FALSE LASHES</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You can't go wrong with popping in a few pairs of false lashes into a stocking filler. As a girl with the shortest and thinest eyelashes, stocking up on falsies is always a must for me as I wear them literally everyday and I know I would LOVE to receive some beauty fluttery lashes in my stocking. My favourites to wear everyday at the moment are the <a href="https://nouveaulashes.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Nouveau</span></a> Strip Lashes. They are super affordable and are amazing quality, each box also comes with adhesive too, which is INCREDIBLE by the way, <i>those lashes aren't gonna go anywhere!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">These are my FAVOURITE hair brushes in the whole bloody world and theres no going back! They have completely changed my hair game since I first purchased one years ago and I know if you've never tried one and you get your hands on one, you will fall in love and never use another hairbrush again. At first, it does take some time to get used to it as it's completely different than your standard hairbrush with a handle, but hair brushing becomes painless which is what I ALWAYS had as my hair loved to matt together and be a b*tch to brush! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>BEAUTY BLENDER</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Beauty Blenders are an absolute must-have for your makeup bag. They apply foundation and concealer FLAWLESSLY and great for setting with loose powder, the uses are endless! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Obviously the Original Beauty Blender is a whopping £16, which is insane, but I guess you get what you pay for. But, there are some great, cheaper dupes in the market. My favourite is the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge which is priced at only £5.99, another great dupe i've recently found was a pack of 4 from Primark for only £2.50. There is 3 different sizes in the pack and they are EXTREMELY soft, not rock hard which is what you would expect from cheap sponges and... they expand loads when dampened!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>LIP BALM</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The worst thing for me in the Winter is chapped lips, ESPECIALLY in the morning. I can't even explain how dry and cracked they are when I wake up (grim I know) and I'm sure many of you can agree with me on this one. Stocking fillers are usually bits and bobs, here and there, so a lip balm would be great to pop in. My absolute favourite at the moment, which will be SO hard to beat is the <a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Dr. Paw Paw</span></a> <a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/store/dr-pawpaw-original-balm/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Original Multi-purpose Soothing Balm</span></a>.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You can never have enough fluffy socks for the winter, i swear half of them go missing anyways, but who can say no to a fresh pair of soft, fluffy socks? <i>Not me! </i>Personally, I never spend more than £2-£4 on fluffy socks and my favourite place to get them from is of course, Primark! These socks (pictured above) only cost £2 each and are great quality, absolutely love them. Btw how cute are these socks? The little pom pom's!! <i>My dog will definitely attack these as soon as I put them on.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Now that it's pretty much Winter and Autumn has just passed (MY FAVE SEASONS), we can all rock the warm shadows, darker lippies, fluffy socks & big coats. Autumn/Winter are my absolute favourite seasons, just because of the colours and especially the warm tones, just literally <b>ME</b> all over. As you can see from the photo above, I got a little creative and decided to go wandering in my garden for perfect those autumnal leaves #bloggerprops, <i>hope you like it!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #db7ca4; font-size: x-small;">1. COLOURPOP - Ultra Matte in 'Stingraye'</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is quite new to my collection.. well okay, a couple months ago. I didn't expect to wear it so much, but i've honestly worn it at least once a week and <u>ALWAYS</u> get compliments when I do *happy face*. I hadn't even heard of this shade until watching YouTuber Shani Grimmond apply it in one of her makeup tutorials and I bought it straight away after that and never looked back. It's a gorgeous purple with a slight brown undertone and nothing to 'in your face'. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is such an oldie but a goodie. I think this was one of the FIRST ever <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=436217943&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><b><span style="color: #666666;">MAC lipsticks</span></b></a> I bought.. i'm like 98% sure it is. I don't remember buying it tbh, I just remember putting it on years ago and never taking it off. It's a perfect deep red with a purple tint, the perfect vampy lipstick! </span><br />

<span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">3. MOLLY COSMETICS - Metallic Liquid Lipstick in 'Rose Gold'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"> If you've seen my recent blog post on Molly Cosmetics (Go read it, you need to know about these lipsticks!), you would have seen this little gem in there. Along with the most amazing liquid lipstick formula, the colour of this metallic lip is just perfect, well for me anyways. I find it on the coppery/orange side, so I think it suits Autumn/Winter so well, match with a smokey eye and you're ready to go!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is a true, deep, vampy, dark purple. It's quite hard to rock this on a day to day basis, but during these seasons you have no excuse not to! I love wearing this with a super smokey brown eye look, just think they compliment each other so well. The application is a little tricky as it does come off quite patchy which is a disappointment, but the colour is beaut!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">5. KYLIE COSMETICS - Lip Kit 'Dolce K'</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Okay, you can wear this <u>ANYTIME</u> of the year, but it's just so beaut, you know? It's literally the perfect brown nude and when you're stuffing your faces with mince pies, dark red lippie ain't always the best choice for that, so this is just perfect! </span><br />

</span><span style="color: #db7ca4;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">6. TOPSHOP - Matte Lip Bullet in 'Get Me Bodied'</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This lipstick was only £5 if I can remember which is an absolute bargain for the quality. I bought it a few Christmas' ago, which it came in a little Christmassy packaging as a stocking filler, but I opened that shit straight up and loved it from then on. It's a perfect deep red/purple. Very vampy which I love for the colder months. Although it has a matte finish, it's not drying at all, it's actually super creamy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #db7ca4;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #db7ca4; font-size: xx-small;">7. GERARD COSMETICS - Hydra Matte in '1995'</span><br />
I picked one of these up at the <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/"><b><span style="color: #666666;">Beauty Bay</span></b></a> event I recently attended and i'm SO glad I did. I've always wanted to try the 1995 lipstick since Jaclyn Hill mentioned it years ago, and then I saw they had it in liquid lipstick form... I died. I love brown tone lipsticks (if you didn't know already haha) and this is just perfect, not too dark, not too light. I <u>LOVE</u> how this sits with my complexion and think it's great for autumn/winter instead of the generic reds!</span></span><br />

</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">8. COLOURPOP - Ultra Matte in 'Limbo'</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I bought this as it was highly recommended as a dupe for the <b><a href="https://www.kyliecosmetics.com/collections/frontpage/products/true-brown-k"><span style="color: #666666;">Kylie Lip Kit in 'True Brown K'</span></a></b>, which I couldn't afford at the time so I hopped on Depop (don't worry, it was brand new) and bought this for £9. I don't wear this enough as i'd like, just because it does look a little gothic on me, but when i'm feeling extra confident and don't give any f's I love this. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I can't believe it... we're here, in December already?! My 21st birthday is in 2 days <i><b>YAY</b></i> and Christmas is just around the corner, <i>how crazy!</i> Anyways, so November's Glossybox blog post is here and I was quite happy with this month's box if i'm honest, although I saw that a lot of people weren't too keen on social media. I think the contents of the box were pretty well matched to my liking, and I know i'll get plenty of use out of most of the products, if not all of them. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is only my second subscription box with Glossybox, but i'm actually pleasantly surprised and being honest, i'm so glad I made the change from Birchbox!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Okay, so lets get onto the products...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Ruby Professional - Large Tapered Blending Brush | RRP £8</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I love buying new brushes, so seeing this little gem in the box made me SO happy, especially when it comes to eyeshadow brushes... you can NEVER have too many gurl. I've never heard of this brand, but this blending brush is incredible! It's super fluffy, like SO soft it's insane and blends eyeshadow seamlessly. As it's on the larger side and so fluffy, I actually tried this to contour my nose and it worked perfectly. It's also cruelty-free guys woo!</span><br />

<b style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">111SKIN - Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask | RRP £20</b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When I saw this, I was automatically spotted the packaging and thought "ooo, very nice". When I saw this was a Harley St. product, the first thing that popped into my mind was blimey, this would cost a limb wouldn't it? And yes it bloody would... £20 for a face mask, <i>oh my!</i> That's hella out my budget, but this is why I like subscriptions like Glossybox, odd times you get to try expensive products you'd never ever purchase in a life time. So, this mask is supposedly very 'techy' and locks in moisture, has key ingredients to brighten and stimulate collagen production, <i>fancy! </i></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I haven't actually tried it yet as it's packed away in my bag, saved for tomorrow night. I have a flight on Saturday morning, so I always like to do some sort of facial or face mask the night before to prep my skin!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Okay, something I least expected but a girl can always do with some razors, right? (they can be expensive!) In the pack there are 3 disposable razors that have 4 blades. These razors supposedly have a pivoting head that helps the razors glide in the curves of the legs, ensuring a close, smooth shave and producing a silky finish. I've already used 2 of them and they've definitely performed how it says on the package. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">They're also raspberry scented, I couldn't actually smell anything, so not sure about that!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For some reason in the swatch photo above, it looks really grey however it is very bronzey. On the information card it actually says it's a khaki-grey, but if i'm honest it's far from khaki in my opinion! I don't think i'd reach for this type of product very often, if not ever, just because it's not something i'd usually use or I am keen on due to having very oily eyelids so cream shadow + oily lids = disaster, but i'll definitely still give it a go, maybe use it as a base! Personally, I find it VERY expensive for what it is, I know it's probably a high-end brand but still, theres so many similar products that work the same in the drugstore!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Kiss - Looks So Natural Lashes | RRP £4.95</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you've read any of my other posts or know me well, you would know how often I wear false eyelashes... literally everyday, just because my eyelashes are horrendous. They're short, stubby, thin and overall just don't work well without falsies, so I always stock up for my eyelash drawer. However, I wouldn't usually use these type of eyelashes, I like mine quite wispy, full and fluffy but i'll definitely give these a try, maybe for more of an everyday sort of look!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Ahhh, i'm honestly so excited for this blog post revolving around this gorgeous palette! I know this palette is ALL OVER Instagram and Youtube, but I thought i'd do a blog post, sort of review anyways and share my thoughts. Kylie Jenner seems to be adding new products every month or so to her cosmetic line and it's definitely hurting peoples bank balances, like seriously. Just yesterday she revealed on Snapchat her holiday collection (if you haven't seen it, I suggest you get on that sh*t quick) which looks absolutely incredible and includes ANOTHER Kyshadow palette, <i>help me please *cries*</i>. </span><br />

</span> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLp1P7PwG4ACoqMbMTnFuQjrw6sG7zSvUhtEwL9QKdqsIMgu7APYMExHr7rmHEbRLgFG72kjMiDCgM3PhIhuGciyAr2-UfigRjGsStFLrMnXJmXMHHOG5C3P_FHiQlYITYX67Ay8ZfGz0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2016-11-18+at+04.16.18.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLp1P7PwG4ACoqMbMTnFuQjrw6sG7zSvUhtEwL9QKdqsIMgu7APYMExHr7rmHEbRLgFG72kjMiDCgM3PhIhuGciyAr2-UfigRjGsStFLrMnXJmXMHHOG5C3P_FHiQlYITYX67Ay8ZfGz0/s400/Screen+Shot+2016-11-18+at+04.16.18.png" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Last month another Kyshadow palette was added to Kylie Cosmetics, and after taking a miss on the first palette, just because it costs a limb, hearing mixed reviews and then seeing some amazing swatches on her Snapchat I <b>HAD</b> to get my hands on this. I was lucky enough that my boyfriend is the biggest babe and bought me the palette as an early birthday pressie, <i>thanks babe! </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br />
</i></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, lets talk about prices because thats pretty much the first thing I want to know when I see a product I <b>NEED</b>, well want but you know. The palette itself cost $42 and shipping to the UK was $14.95. Obviously when ordering from the US, it's always a risk whether you will be hit with the dreaded custom charges... unfortunately I was *sad face* <b>FIFTEN BLOODY POUNDS </b>it was, like why? Royal Mail, Why do you do this? Luckily my babe of a boyfriend offered to pay the customs along with "This sh*t is expensive".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you've read my previous blog posts or just know me well, you will know i'm a huge sucker for packaging. It's <b>ALMOST</b> as important as the actual product for me, which may sound silly but I just like things lookin' pretty. This definitely passes the spectrum for good if not amazing packaging, it's definitely become one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes packaging wise as it's simple but nice and it's so original, <i>well done Kylie, you did good boo! </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Just like her other palette, the front of the box/sleeve packaging and palette shows a drawing of her eyes and then the palette itself has detail of tears falling corresponding to the colours in the palette, all in metallic which is such a sick touch and definitely original to any other palette on the market.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The back of the palette shows all the names of the shades and the ingredients of the shadows. I know I've heard that the way the shadow names have been laid out are confusing as it's technically back to front, but thats only minor, nothing important really.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I know a huge thing that many people wanted in her palettes was a mirror. For me, i'm not bothered at all about having a mirror in a eyeshadow palette as i've never used them, so in that aspect it doesn't affect me at all, although her new Holiday Kyshadow Palette does now contain a mirror! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Damn, those swatches are so professional... only joking, i'm probably the worst person possible for swatching, you always see those people getting creative, using tape, I tried and failed that is all. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In the palette you get 5 mattes, 2 foiled and 2 shimmers which I think is a great balance for a palette. Can we just talk about how PIGMENTED this is?! Literally dying, all the shadows are super creamy and blend like a dream!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Overall thoughts, I bloody <b>LOVE</b> this palette and it's so worth it, you need to get your paws on it asap!!! The colours are essentially 'me' in a palette and such beautiful shadows that could be worn everyday, so this baby won't be neglected and shoved to the back of the draw for sure.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">What are your thoughts? Do you own the Burgundy palette?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hi lovelies, today's blog post is on these incredible multipurpose balms that will are super nifty! A couple weeks ago, I received four of the <a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Dr Paw Paw</span></a> <a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/shop/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Multipurpose Soothing Balms</span></a>* in the post which they kindly sent me and i've been using them everyday since! Personally, I had never tried any of their balms or products, but heard so many good things about them from others I know and on especially on Instagram. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Especially in the colder months, my lips are a tragedy and as a massive liquid lipstick wearer, these are </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b>PERFECT</b></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> for saving those dry ass lips! What makes these my favourite balms is the formula. It's fragrance free and non-sticky, SO smooth and so nice on the lips I can't even describe. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Other than using these balms on the lips, they can also be used for a number of other things such as applying to dry areas of skin, hair and nails! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Each 25ml balm retails for £6.95, or you can get the collection of three for £20. (Original, Peach Pink & Ultimate Red) and as these are multipurpose balms, I think it's a great price for the product you get and they fit perfectly in your handbag which is always great for us girls and boys! </span><br />

I've been using this balm multiple times a day and I<b> LOVE</b> it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You can also get the multipurpose balms in tinted versions; <a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/store/dr-pawpaw-tinted-peach-pink-balm-2/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Peach Pink</span></a> and <a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/store/dr-pawpaw-tinted-ultimate-red-balm/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Ultimate Red</span></a>. The tint in these balms is quite subtle and not too opaque which I like and my favourite is definitely the <span style="color: #db7ca4;">Ultimate Red</span>! As these are tinted, these balms are also great to use to add a tint to the cheeks. I can definitely see myself using the <span style="color: #db7ca4;">Peach Pink</span> during the summer and warmer months to add that little peach tint to the lips when wearing a natural glowy makeup look!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I wasn't actually expecting to receive the <a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/store/dr-pawpaw-red-sparkle-limited-edition/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Limited Edition Red Sparkle Balm</span></a> so this was a lovely surprise upon receiving the package! This definitely gets you in the Christmas spirit with it's red and gold sparkly packaging and think especially this and the other balms would be <b>GREAT</b> for stocking fillers (just a hint!). My picture doesn't do this justice... the product is a beautiful tinted red balm with gold glitter specks (nothing too in your face, just perfect) and I think this is a beautiful tint to use on the lips or adding colour to the apple of the cheeks!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I can't recommend these balms enough, they are by far the <b>BEST</b> and my <b>FAVOURITE</b> balms to use... they've even replaced my Elizabeth Arden 8hr Cream and anyone that knows me well will know that I used that religiously! You can get your paws on these on the <a href="https://www.drpawpaw.com/"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Dr Paw Paw</span></a> website, <a href="http://www.boots.com/"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Boots</span></a>, or </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.feelunique.com/"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Feel Unique.</span></a></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I don't really wear mascara as i'm a false lash kinda gal and RARELY even touch eyeliner (hooded eye problems), obviously lipstick I do which would be a huge sacrifice, but I think i'd rather keep my palettes and eyeshadows because there are so much you can do. I could still contour and highlight, apply shadow, fill my brows in and I guess I could use a foiled shadow of some sort for lippie!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I had to think about this for a while... but most likely chop off all my hair, just think about all the cool wigs you could wear!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've really, really, really neglected my wardrobe since becoming utterly obsessed with makeup the last few years, so I'd probably spend it on clothes and show my wardrobe some lovin' plus... i'm always moaning I have nothing to wear haha!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is actually quite a hard one because I get cold so easily but when i'm hot in the summer I get really irritated and grumpy haha... but I think i'd go for summer clothes in winter.

But, a</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">s it's Autumn, basically Winter here in the UK, keeping warm is everything and I mean, looking good at the same time can also work! I thought i'd put together all the bits that are currently on my wishlist or that I <u>LOVE</u> from <a href="http://www.missguided.co.uk/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Missguided</span></a>. I honestly can't fault them, everythings affordable and great quality and they usually have really good student discounts going on weekly (20-30% off), so keep an eye out!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, if you follow me on the Gram (<span style="color: #fec7cb;">@katherinem_x</span>) you would have seen these liquid lippies on quite a few of my posts recently, <i>i'm sorry, they're just so damn good</i>. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A couple of weeks ago I received a package with four liquid lipsticks <a href="https://www.mollycosmeticsshop.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Molly Cosmetics</span></a> kindly sent to me including Rose Gold, Bare Soul, Bubble Tea & Cupcake*. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm a massive liquid lipstick hoarder, so receiving these in the post got me super <b>EXCITED</b> as I always love to try new lippies!</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://www.mollycosmeticsshop.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Molly Cosmetics</span></a> is an indie brand based in Hong Kong, co-founded by a makeup artist and stylist. They sell high quality liquid lipsticks and their products are completely cruelty-free and Paraben-free which is always great! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All their lipsticks retail for £15.23, so not the cheapest, but for the quality you get it's definitely worth it. They also have special package sets with great discount!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you've read many of my other blog posts, you would know how much I talk about packaging for any product and I think it plays a big factor (well, to me anyways). I find that with so many liquid lipsticks out on the market now, there are so many designs that catch the eye like the Kat Von D, Too Faced Melted Mattes, but others are quite similar. Personally, I love the packaging of these liquid lips, i'm all about simple and sleek which these definitely are!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Before I carry on to any lip swatches and what not, I just need to take a minute and tell you all about the formula... <b>IT'S SO DAMN GOOD!</b> When I first discovered <a href="https://www.mollycosmeticsshop.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Molly Cosmetics</span></a>, I had a little peak on their Instagram and amongst all the beautiful selfies, flat lays and lip swatches, the reviews were amazing, so I had high hopes for their products. After trying them for myself, I found that this liquid lipstick formula is the <b>BEST</b> i've ever tried, better than my Kylie Lip Kits, better than Colourpop, ABH. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For starters, the product is so light weight that you can't even feel it on the lips one bit, it's completely non-drying, not sticky at all and has <b>GREAT</b> colour payoff. All their lipsticks dry down completely matte and the wear is insane!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This definitely has to be my <b>FAVOURITE</b> out of them all. If you've seen my Instagram, recently I posted quite a few photos and makeup looks using this lippie and I didn't want to take it off I loved it that much! This is the first metallic lipstick I have ever tried and now own and I just <b>LOVED </b>it straight away. I find on myself, it is on the coppery side which I think really suits my complexion and skin tone. I just bloody love it ya know.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm absolutely <b>LOVING</b> this one. I find it quire comparable to one of my fave liquid lipsticks, Colourpop's Stingraye but a lighter version (mauve nude/purple with brown undertone), so i'm all for it! This lipstick and the others dry completely matte, which we all know is my favourite finish when it comes to lipsticks. I actually like to mix this and use <u>Bubble Tea</u> in the centre for more dimension and I love the finished look!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Bubble Tea</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Unfortunately, I can't wear this liquid lippie on it's own as it's too similar to my complexion and I feel it looks like i'm rocking those foundation lips like back in the old days, which really sucks!!! So, to put it to good use, I </span><b style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">LOVE</b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> using it with other lippies in the centre to create an ombre effect and it works so well! Even if I use this with a darker lip liner and blend, it works great this way too!</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is my least favourite out of all of them, unfortunately, but the colour isn't something I particularly wear very often and quite out my comfort zone, I have quite a few colours similar in my collection that have hardly, if ever been worn! I find that it's very pink on me, which i'm not used to wearing but I am straying away from nudes and experimenting more these days! I can definitely see myself wearing this in the summer.</span><br />

</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I honestly can't recommend <a href="https://www.mollycosmeticsshop.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">Molly Cosmetics</span></a> liquid lipsticks enough, they are by FAR my favourite liquid lippies I own and you won't regret it! I'll definitely be placing an order asap (probably more nudes cause i'm boring like that). </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Go checkout their website for more information and the full range. They also do other products for the face, nails and lashes and sell makeup tools and accessories. I really hope you enjoyed today's blog post!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So... this is very new to my blog and if you read my <a href="http://katherine-amy.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/birchbox-october-2016.html#more"><span style="color: #edc7fa;">October Birchbox</span></a> post, you would know that I decided to take the plunge and cancel my subscription and try out <a href="https://www.glossybox.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KEQjw4_DABRC1tuPSpqXjxZwBEiQAhMIp619bYzKaHTjJVF4PY8spKTXl5QSM8CWxNnE__0NB8KoaAs_u8P8HAQ#"><span style="color: #fec7cb;">GlossyBox</span></a>! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I decided to change after I came across the Glossybox's Instagram. I decided to have a peak, you know, to see what other boxes are offering and I clearly liked what I saw, plus I hadn't found <a href="https://www.birchbox.co.uk/"><span style="color: #444444;">Birchbox</span></a> to be all that great so I thought it was time. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When I first wanted to subscribe to a monthly beauty box, I did go back and forth between <a href="https://www.birchbox.co.uk/"><span style="color: #444444;">Birchbox</span></a> and <a href="https://www.glossybox.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KEQjw4_DABRC1tuPSpqXjxZwBEiQAhMIp6xDsrlthWzpub1hTOKsrjiyGdF8236OhQLTCFHZctLcaAmWd8P8HAQ"><span style="color: #fec7cb;">Glossybox</span></a> and it was a very hard decision to make... so here I am now, trying out <a href="https://www.glossybox.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KEQjw4_DABRC1tuPSpqXjxZwBEiQAhMIp6xDsrlthWzpub1hTOKsrjiyGdF8236OhQLTCFHZctLcaAmWd8P8HAQ"><span style="color: #fec7cb;">Glossybox</span></a>!</span><br />

UNIIDAYS was actually holding a 25% discount for the first two months, so I've ended up getting this box and next months just at £10 including postage, which I feel has </span><u style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">DEFINITELY</u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> been worth it so far!

<span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Trifle Cosmetics - Lip Parfait Buttery Lip Cream | RRP £12.95</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This lipstick has the</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><u style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">CUTEST</u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> packaging i've ever seen. As you can see from the photo above, it swatched as quite a nice nude pink, but unfortunately when applying to my lips, it came off very different (bummer). I don't know if it's because my lips are quite pigmented and dark, that it came out EXTREMELY pink, like a baby pink... which i'm not a fan of at all! It's not a very pigmented lipstick as it's mean't to be more of a moisturising lipstick and is infused with vitamin E, so it's pretty sheer on the lips! </span><br />

<span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>The Body Shop - Drops Of Youth Concentrate | RRP £25</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was really excited to see a product from The Body Shop as I literally <u>LOVE</u> all their products i've ever tried. This tiny little green bottle is a face serum which softens, soothes and brightens the skin! I've only tried this a couple times as I actually have specific facial cream I need to use for my breakouts, but I really like this. I was kind of expecting it to be a little oily, but it wasn't at all and made my skin feel <u>SO SO SO</u> soft. I don't think i'd repurchase this product unfortunately as it's hella expensive!</span><br />

<span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Universal Beauty Cosmetics - Secret Flush, Soothing Cream Blusher & Lip Stain Duo | RRP £15</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was super excited seeing this in the subscription. The first thing that stood out to me was how cute the packaging was! It kind of reminds me of Topshop makeup packaging, which I think is super sleek and cute. I've personally never heard of this brand, but as always I love trying out new brands and products. So this is a multi-tasker product that can be used as a cream blush or a lip stain which is really handy! The colour really reminds me of one of the NARS blushers but I really can't remember the name, ahhh!!! I'm not really much of a blush wearer and I do try to stay away from cream products as my skin tends to get oily very quickly so it hasn't been much use to me in that sense but I do like using it as a lip stain on those no makeup makeup days!</span><br />

<span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Bee Good - Honey & Camelina Facial Exfoliator | RRP £10.50</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I <u>LOVE LOVE LOVE</u> this! Definitely my favourite from this month's box! If you've read any of my other blog posts, i've really gotten into skincare and exfoliating so when I saw this I was stoked. This facial exfoliator is suitable for all skin types and exfoliates, hydrates & calms the face all in one. I really love this exfoliator as it's super gentle on the skin and makes your skin feel <u>INCREDIBLE</u> after, definitely want to repurchase this once i'm finished!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Obviously, as i'm writing this it's already been revealed what brand the mystery shampoo is from. I'll just say and be honest... I <b>REALLY</b> don't like it at all. I've seen people say they're really impressed, but it made my hair feel <b>HORRIBLE</b>. I've never actually used any products from Head & Shoulders (which is where it's from btw) so I can't say I've hated any of their other products. </span><br />

<span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>PS... Pro - HD Mascara Black | RRP £3</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was a little surprised to see a beauty product from Primark in the box and I know others were too, but i'll say i'm not disappointed at all as I <u>LOVE</u> this mascara! Primark recently (I say recently, but i'm not 100% sure) brought out a new makeup range called PS... Pro, everything is still super affordable, but better and higher quality. I actually wanted to try this mascara after seeing so many YouTubers using it in those 'Testing Primark Makeup' videos and heard really good things about it! I'm not much of a mascara fanatic as I have the shortest and thinest eyelashes ever so I always wear falsies, but this mascara really surprised me. I find it really does add volume and length to my lashes and I particularly like the wand/brush as it's really flexible and rubber. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Ever bought something, have high expectations and end up being extremely disappointed? Yep, I think it's bound to happen with everyone at least at some point. So, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I thought i'd do a blog post on some beauty products I regret buying myself, because I love reading or watching YouTube videos of these, as I like to see what others found disappointing! It really helps especially when i've been eyeing up a product for ages but i'm not 100% sure, so I love to know what others think of it.</span><br />

<b style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">NYX - Matte Setting Spray</b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I bought this at the beginning of August and honestly only tried it out once or twice. Having combination-oily skin, a matte setting spray sounds like a godsend however, unfortunately i'm not feeling it *sigh*. I found it to be "too matte", although it may not have necessarily looked it, but my face felt quite powdery and cakey. I prefer a spray that make you feel refreshed and feels though it's broken down the powders a little. Another thing I hated about this spray was that it dimmed my highlight <b>SO MUCH</b>. I can't deal with that. I <u>LOVE</u> having a poppin', glowy highlight so this isn't for me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Maybelline - Baby Skin Primer</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I bought this quite a while ago after hearing quite a lot of hype on YouTube and after many people saying it was a dupe for the Benefit Porefessional. I really, really, really don't like this product. I tried it out a fair few times just to make sure it wasn't a one off, but unfortunately this product just didn't work with me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It made my skin greasy as hell, and I already have oily-combination skin, so I really didn't need the extra bit of shininess. I actually had high hopes for this, because foundation applies so smoothly on top and does look flawless to begin with, but after about an hour my face looks horrid! I think this could be great for those with dry to normal skin types but if you're oily, i'd stay far away!</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">MAC - Studio Fix Fluid Foundation</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After wearing it for a couple hours, it really flakes around my nose, goes patchy and looks horrible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The lady at the MAC counter colour matched me and i'm sorry, but it was horrendous. I have never bought a foundation that is so <b>ORANGE</b> toned. Being half Asian, I do have a yellow/olive undertone but she matched me as if I were wearing extremely <b>ORANGE</b> fake tan (which I don't, I hardly even fake tan!). It does not look natural at all, does not match me one bit, I can't even make it work, so disappointed. If the foundation was matched correctly, maybe I would have liked the foundation just a tiny little bit more, but it still doesn't change the finish and wear I guess. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Nivea Men - Post Shave Balm</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Now everyone and their nans are raving about this after Nikkie Tutorials started using it in her videos. Of course, I jumped on the bandwagon and purchased myself one (I had too, it was only like £5?!) to see if it would really work, and if it did, what a <u>BONUS</u>... a primer for £5! At first I thought I really liked it and used it every single day, then eventually, I got the worst breakouts and I <b>STILL</b> haven't recovered from it 5 months down the line. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My pores have never been this blocked before and I have the worst blackheads, which nothing seems to be getting rid of them. I really can't tell you how much I regret buying this because, no I didn't have perfect skin before, but it was clear. Now, my skin is a hotmess, and just keeps getting worse months down the line (obvs it's still not doing this to my skin, but I believe it started it off). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #db7ca4;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Spectrum Collections - Unicorn Tears Sponge</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I bought this on a whim as I love using beauty sponges to apply foundation and blend in my concealer, so I thought i'd try this one hoping it would be as good as the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=488465965&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #fec7cb;">Real Techniques Mircile Complexion Sponge</span></a> or the <span style="color: #fec7cb;"><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=490208287&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #fec7cb;">Beauty Blender</span></a><span style="color: #fec7cb;"> </span></span><span style="color: black;">as I <u>LOVE</u> these two sponges</span>. I always dampen my sponges, which I find is the real test as to ow much the sponge expands. The sponge expanded quite a lot, but it's generally just very dense and I find it sucks in a lot of the product whilst trying to blend. Whilst this isn't the worst sponge i've tried, i'm just not a fan and will be sticking with my originals!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>YSL - Touche Eclat</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I wanted to try a highlighting pen for ages, so I thought i'd buy this in duty free before going on holiday (only saved me about £3 though). I really didn't find this product to be 'all that' to be honest. Yes, it did it's job on the highlighting front, but i've used waaaaay more products that worked better and didn't cost me a limb! The coverage was very sheer and I found that there was literally hardly any product in the tube, as it ran out so quickly! I'll definitely be sticking to just concealer to highlight as I was really disappointed with this!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Sleek - Matte Me Liquid Lipstick</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I had such HIGH hopes for this! I only own one, and I don't think i'll be buying anymore unfortunately... I got one in the shade 'Birthday Suit' which is <u>BEAUTIFUL</u>, it's definitely a dupe for Kylie Lip Kit in Candy K, but I really <b>HATE</b> the formula. I don't know if I got a bad batch or something, but I find once it has dried down matte, it is very dry and sticky which is the worst thing ever! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>ABH - Gleam Glow Kit</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Now... I know this will be a shock and an unpopular opinion, but I don't regret buying it because I thought the product was crap, I regret buying it because I just don't think it's worth it! It's a really gorgeous highlighting kit, with beautiful shades, but I have so many highlighters with similar tones that I hardly ever touch this kit and it's just a complete waste to me now. I own the Sweets Glow Kit and <u>LOVE</u> it as I find the highlighters are different to others that I own and make a lot more use out of it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hey lovelies! So today's blog post is a little different from the usual beauty posts. This month, Darwin and I collab'd with <a href="https://pawsomebox.co.uk/"><span style="color: #50beee;">Pawsome Box</span></a> to review one of their monthly Pawsome subscription boxes (how exciting?!). </span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcLsuxv1z2qfPFEmWI8iV20ujRCM4JkOFXpxGe-WvdafdgoHvO1ZI-dg9dZw4T4JZbwT97qUXBTvcnDisFSJa3oL8O-SeVeWRDhK2uH0EKuC1Sf7rdulQ1g0e1nUONNiqUYE84QNQz37A/s1600/IMG_6818.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcLsuxv1z2qfPFEmWI8iV20ujRCM4JkOFXpxGe-WvdafdgoHvO1ZI-dg9dZw4T4JZbwT97qUXBTvcnDisFSJa3oL8O-SeVeWRDhK2uH0EKuC1Sf7rdulQ1g0e1nUONNiqUYE84QNQz37A/s400/IMG_6818.JPG" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://pawsomebox.co.uk/"><span style="color: #50beee;">Pawsome Box</span></a> is a monthly subscription, containing surprise items worth over £30, designed for your fur babies! So just like how we have beauty subscriptions... but for dogs! Each box contains 6 items of variety from accessories & hygiene to toys and treats, also they are personalised to match your dog the best! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You can either sign up and subscribe as a monthly subscription for <b>£19.90</b> or you can buy a one of box as a gift. They also have </span><a href="https://purrfect-box.co.uk/" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #ec6fae;">Purrfect Box</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">, which is for cats of course!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Each monthly box is usually dispatched between the 10th-15th and takes around a week to arrived in the UK as it's shipped from Germany. All the items are wrapped nicely in a cute little box which you can see below and wrapped nicely with paw printed tissue paper (so cute)!</span><br />

He is super spoiled and has about a million toys already, but he absolutely loves a good play and gets so excited with new toys! Right off the bat, I could tell these toys were really high quality, definitely from the higher price range which is lovely.<br /></span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The ice cream toy makes Darwin go absolutely mad, great for a good play. Every time I bring out one of his squeaky toys he runs around the house like a crazy man, tail down, back hunched, never seen him run so quick it's so funny! You can tell it's also a high quality toy, compared to cheaper ones. I've bought a few from the pound shop and are nowhere near as good, the squeakers don't work very well/ break and the general quality of the toy, you can tell is cheap!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I actually bought something similar to the red chewy bone when Darwin was a little pup and found it great for he was teething. Darwin absolutely loves this one and gives it a good chew at least every day! He's 7 months old now, and his favourite toys are those he can chew and nibble at, so this has been brilliant for him, definitely have to say this has been the most popular with him!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The pictures above was Darwin attempting to chew the rope toy, I think it was a little too big for his mouth as he wasn't quite sure what to do with it and ended up suckling it while he fell asleep! I can imagine this toy being great for a little rough tug-of-war, although Dar hasn't got the greatest grip yet.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've never heard or knew of such a product, but i'm so glad they were featured in this month's box because these are great! As it's Autumn coming to Winter, the weather hasn't been great, so walks have been a little messy on our local field/park. We always use regular wipes to wipe him down but these have been great! Also, w</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">e usually bath piggy every once every 2-3 weeks, or when it's needed and these have been great using in-between</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> as a 'quick wash' to wipe down his fur, paws and face after walks.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Darwin's favourite out of the whole box, I must say! He is the biggest foodie (even more than me) and he was dying to get his paws on these when I showed him, I don't know how he didn't demolish it all when we were taking photos haha! In this month's box, he received three different treats; Healthy Treats - Breath & Dental bites, Trixie - Duo Sticks and Les Filous - Beef Meat Slices. He loves any kind of stick treat, and of course he's already eaten those and healthy/ dental treats are always great for those pups teeth!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Darwin absolutely <u>LOVED</u> the Beef Meat Slices. He was chewing on one for what felt like ages, which kept him occupied for a while! As you can see from the photo below, I gave him one to try and he was inspecting it before he demolished it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Overall, I think this is such a good idea for fur babies!

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Put your hands up if you've ever been a victim of the horrid brush cleaning.. I know I have and I <u>HATE</u> doing it, I hope you can all agree with me! Your hands start to look like prunes, your wrist hurts from all that deep cleansing and your just drained by the end of it, but of course you do feel pretty good you've got that time consuming chore out of the way and finally have pretty, clean brushes ready for use again BUT thats besides the point.</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">So when the lovely guys over at Dee&Co contacted me asking if I wanted to review their <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FShadow-Switch-Brush-Cleaner-Removes%2Fdp%2FB01CPIUWK2%2Fref%3Dcm_cr_arp_d_product_top%3Fie%3DUTF8&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk&pid=uid209-35947953-58"><span style="color: #db7ca4;"><b>SHADOW SWITCH</b></span></a> dry brush cleaner from </span><b style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Beauty Essentials</b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">, I had to say yes!

All you have to do is take your eyeshadow brush and swirl it gently into the wired sponge, which gets rid of all the excess shadow and WALA a brand new, clean brush ready for more colours! I've been using it for over a month now and it's worked so well and i've been able to create so many different looks. I really recommend this product to anyone, It's so simple, just make sure you clean the sponge with some soap every now and then to get rid of any built up bacteria.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Today is a sad day. Unfortunately, I have taken the plunge and this will be my last Birchbox post as I have officially cancelled my subscription... I may re-subscribe in the future, you never know! I love having a monthly beauty subscription, because it's something to look forward to and great to discover new brands and new products and after some thought, I decided to be a traitor and switch over to Glossybox,<i> sorry Birchbox!!! </i>I've never tried it before until this month, but heard many good things. So it's a goodbye to Birchbox for now...</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As I mentioned above, I did find this month's box a little disappointing. I think out of the 6 products in October's box, 2 of them I really liked and know I will be using often, but the others i'm not keen or happy with! I wouldn't say it was the worst box I received, but just wasn't as exciting as usual. As you may know, I love doing my monthly subscription box blog posts and after ANOTHER disappointing box with Birchbox, i've decided to try another subscription so keep your eyes peeled for those blog posts coming soon!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This month's theme was quite exciting, all about horoscopes! When I first initially opened my package, I actually thought it was in the theme for Halloween, but that was just a coincidence to my horoscope which came under 'Fire' (Aries, Leo & Sagittarius). I believe there are 4 different boxes in total; Earth, Air, Fire & Water which are all glow in the dark? However mine isn't... so thats a little disappointing hmm.</span><br />

At first, I had absolutely no bloody idea what in the hell this was. The packaging is very plain and doesn't say much other than it's an oil. I honestly thought it was like a cuticle oil or something, turns out it's a repair and restore oil! I can't even explain how much I loved this, like I reckon I will have to buy a full size product after this little bad boy runs out, because my hair felt <u>INCREDIBLY</u> soft and for me £18 for a hair product but I think it's probably worth it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For years now, i've used my John Freida Frizz Ease and the Aussie Serum which worked for me really well, and if I used anything else, my hair just felt horrid and not the same, so I was a little skeptical trying out a hair oil as it's never really worked for me before. I just used a couple of drops through damp hair before I blow dry!</span><br />

<span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>The Ritual Of Sakura - Magic Touch Body Cream | RRP £19.50</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've tried this body cream and it's honestly great... just not keen anymore receiving these type of products every month, I literally have so many in my drawers, which will take me FOREVER to use. It feels like it's Christmas when you receive endless amounts of bath and body stuff. I have lots of moisturisers as it is, so I won't use it like ever, so not a fan!</span><br />

<span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Doux Me - Pure Spring Water Spray | RRP £16</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was pretty intrigued with this water spray as I haven't used anything like this before. This product was a BIRCHBOX EXCLUSIVE and helps refresh the skin whilst hydrating and soothing the complexion too! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've tried it a couple of times and it's super refreshing, but I think this would be suitable for hot weather and in the summer, and at the moment were in Autumn going into Winter. I can't really see myself using this very often to be honest. Also, I think £16 for a water spray is kind of ridiculous... literally a rip off.</span><br />

<span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Lord & Berry - 20100 Maxi Matte Crayon Lipstick | RRP £12</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This was this month's full size product and I was so so so excited to see this in the box. One of the products I LOVED and was happy to receive. I love buying new lip products so this was a plus. Only downside I found was that swatching the crayon on my hand and applying it on the lips, the colour payoff was a little different which kinda sucked as I LOVED the swatch colour (brown/mauve nude), whereas it came off quite pink on the lips, so I think i'll be using it to mix with other lippies. But, other than that, it's super creamy, pigmented and easy to wear!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Like... this is SO disappointing, i'm sorry but really? I honestly thought when I first saw this, it was seeds to grow my own vegetables or something, i'm not even joking!!! I read the booklet to find it was a powdered drink of 'super greens' with a blend of antioxidants, herbal extracts and vitamins. I mean, this is definitely the most disappointing product I have EVER received, even more than the little hand-sanitiser I received in previous boxes. I thought i'd try it anyways, because I was intrigued how it tasted.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When I saw this, I was so excited as I bloody love mud masks, face masks, the whole lot! I love the sleek packaging and was really hoping this would be a good. This mask is apparently packed with fruit enzymes to purify and brighten the skin which sounds bloody amazing! All I can say, is i'm so disappointed to find that when I went to use it, it was <u>LITERALLY 3/4 EMPTY!</u> I had to squeeze the tube so much before product came out. I think the product itself is good, but just an absolute ripoff for a brand new product to be that empty... God knows what the full size tube retailing at £29 will be like!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When you're completely and utterly obsessed with makeup, you end up with makeup all over the place, mess EVERYWHERE, so investing in some good ol' storage is definitely worth it! Plus it's nice to have your makeup collection all organised and looking pretty on display. For me, my makeup storage needs to be something convenient, that doesn't take up the whole room. I would LOVE to have a beauty station/room but mine isn't big enough so this will do!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.herclutterbox.com/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;"><b>HerClutterBox</b></span></a> very kindly sent me the <a href="http://www.herclutterbox.com/shop/spinning-lipstick-and-powder-tower/"><span style="color: #fec7cb;"><b>'Spinning Lipstick & Powder Tower'</b></span></a> acrylic storage which is one of their new products and retails for <b>£80.11/ </b></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>€88.99/ </b></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>$97.63</b>. They also have so many different models of storage from nail varnish racks to acrylic drawers, which all look incredible. Currently, they have these special bundles of storage pieces for great prices and a massive pre-Christmas sale on right NOW!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If I am honest, I was very skeptical at first because of how expensive their storage is. I know there are loads of acrylic storage for SO much cheaper from Muji, China, Ebay so I was thinking... is it really worth these prices? I've bought acrylic storage previously for like £7 if that from China which you can tell is very cheap and low quality! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When my HerClutterBox storage arrived, I honestly just laughed at how different and amazing the quality of the ClutterBox is. You can instantly tell how high quality it is from how it looks and the weight. It was INCREDIBLY heavy, the acrylic was very thick and sturdy, and the storage overall was MUCH bigger than I imagined, which I feel that other companies lack.</span><br />

There are sides compartments which can be used for </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">lip liners, or </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">makeup brushes and liquid lipsticks. To top it off, it also has 5 drawer compartments at the bottom including both sides. It's so compact and perfect for holding lots of makeup in a smaller area as it's very tall and spins for more storage!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I love that this storage has little side compartments, it's a nice little touch and whatever you choose to store in them looks pleasing to the eye! You can store lip liners, liquid lipsticks, brushes, there is so much you can store in there, I just recommend don't put anything thats short otherwise you'll have a hard time getting them out haha! I chose to store some of my favourite liquid lipsticks such as Colourpop, Lime Crime, Kylie lip kits and my favourite and only Kat Von D, which I DEFINITELY need to get more of! On the other side, I popped some of my Spectrum Collections brushes, because they're some of my faves and of course... they look super pretty!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">If you are a lipstick hoarder or fanatic, this storage is literally perfect for you. I mean 72 lipsticks.. seventy bloody two lipsticks, what more could you ask for! Personally, I don't own 72 lipsticks, I didn't even manage to fill one side of the lipstick storage, but it just gives me ambition to fill it all up I guess... any excuse really! I even managed to store some smaller lip glosses and concealer, which worked perfectly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">In the mid section, they have 9 compartments on each sides of the storage. 6 of the compartments are great for storing powder, highlighter and bronzer compacts or even small eyeshadow palettes/quads as they are larger and 4 are smaller, which I like to use for storing my Colourpop shadows, glitter pots and my Anastasia brow pommade! I'd say the only downfall of this storage is the smaller mid section compartments. The compartments are slightly slanted, which i'm hoping you can see from the photos and I find that it's quite hard to pull out any shadows and what not from the smaller compartments.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In the first two draw compartments, I used these to store a highlighting palette from Sleek (which is amazing btw) and some of my favourite false eyelashes from Ebay of course, and they fit in so perfectly and with easy access. For the other side, I used the drawers to hold some more highlighter compacts and pressed powders. You could use these draw compartments for any palettes you own too!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The bottom drawer is the deepest of them all, so I used this to store my absolute favourite base products and my most used eyeshadow palette, just so everything was together and easy for me to grab! Although it doesn't look too big, you could actually store more smaller eyeshadow palettes in there if you wished or single shadows to create it a shadow draw.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Overall, I absolutely love this storage. I think I would have preferred maybe a drawer type of storage, but it really surprised me with how much use I could get out of the<b> </b></span><a href="http://www.herclutterbox.com/shop/spinning-lipstick-and-powder-tower/" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #fec7cb;"><b>Lipstick & Powder storage</b></span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">What makeup lover doesn't love new brushes to add to their collection? I can finally put my hands up and say I have enough makeup brushes to supply Europe, <i>not that it's a bad thing... </i>My makeup addiction turned into a brush addiction quite some time ago, and i'm over flowing, like literally. It's just like the excitement of buying new makeup, but for brushes,<i> </i>although cleaning them i'm not fond of, but who is?!<i> </i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've had my eyes on some <a href="https://nanshy.com/shop/ref/318/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #d28aaf;"><b>Nanshy</b></span></a> brushes for absolutely ages now! I saw quite some time ago, some youtubers; Maddie Bruce, Just Jodes and others using these and they looked so sleek, simple and great quality, so when I had the opportunity to collaborate with <a href="https://nanshy.com/shop/ref/318/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #d28aaf;"><b>Nanshy</b></span></a>, I was absolutely over the moon!!! They </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">kindly sent me </span><a href="https://nanshy.com/product/the-eye-brush-set/ref/318/?attribute_pa_brush-handle-colour=pearlescent-white-1&campaign=The%20Eye%20Brush%20Set" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #edc7fa;"><b>The Eye Brush Set (7 Makeup Brushes)</b></span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">* in Pearlescent White, which are seriously stunning, I was dying to use them straight away!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Nanshy have some absolute amazing quality, sleek brush sets and individuals brushes that are extremely affordable. They also have beauty sponges and accessories, like makeup bags etc and to top it off, everything is vegan and cruelty-free!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So lets get onto the good bits...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All of the <a href="https://nanshy.com/shop/ref/318/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;"><b>Nanshy</b></span></a> brushes are actually made with synthetic Taklon bristles which are <u>EXTREMELY</u> extremely soft. Not stiff or itchy/scratchy... <i>yes, I have an eye brush that feels like it's scratching my eyelid every time I use it, it's horrible but it works so well so I can't give it up just yet!</i> I've been using them for over a month now, and I feel that because they are so soft, it makes blending eyeshadow so much easier and gives that seamless blended finish. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">They also claim their brushes do not shed, and from what I have tested so far, especially when washing them, they haven't shed once unlike my other brushes!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">These brushes are so aesthetically pleasing to me, they have <b><a href="https://nanshy.com/shop/ref/318/"><span style="color: #db7ca4;">'Nanshy'</span></a> </b>engraved into the ferrule (metal part - I didn't know it was called that either until I googled it shh!) which is a nice touch. The handles are a pearlised white, with specks of tiny glitter. They just look and feel so luxurious and sleek, not too heavy but not light and cheap either!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In the Eye brush set, you get 7 brushes in the set, which is literally all you need to complete the perfect eye look! All of the brushes are so versatile and can be used for many different things! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The brushes in this set include...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="color: #fec7cb;"><u>Tapered Crease</u></span></b> <b><span style="color: #fec7cb;">-</span></b> Is a very small, precise fluffy brush. I love using this either to smoke out the lower lash line or blend a cut crease.</span><br />
<b style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #fec7cb;"><br />
</span></b> <b style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #fec7cb;"><u>Blending Eyeshadow</u> -</span></b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> This is my favourite for blending in those transition and crease colours, as it's super fluffy and soft it gives that super blended look. </span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><br />
</b></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="color: #fec7cb;"><u>Large Shader</u> -</span></b> This brush is very thick and dense, so I find using it to Pack shadow on the mobile lid works really well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="color: #fec7cb;"><u>Eye Crease</u> -</span></b> This is a smaller version of the 'Blending Eyeshadow' brush, it has more precision and I love using this in the crease or outer crease for darker colours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="color: #fec7cb;"><u>Angled Detailer</u> - </span></b></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This brush is just your standard angled brush which are great for filling in the brows, especially as it's so tiny and dense.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="color: #fec7cb;"><br />
</span></b></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="color: #fec7cb;"><u>Flat Definer</u> -</span></b> I</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">'ve never owned a brush like this, so I was really happy to try it out! I love using it for carving out my brows with concealer, but it would also be really good for tight lining/ smoking out the lower lash line.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="color: #fec7cb;"><u>Precise Bent Eyeliner</u> -</span></b> Again, i've never owned one of these. They're meant for eyeliner, but as I don't wear eyeliner (hooded eye probs) I love using this to imitate brow hairs to make my brows look bushier and thicker!</span><br />

They're just amazing quality for such an affordable price and work so well for blending and applying shadow etc! I've been using them for over a month now, and they have been great for creating literally any eye look!</span><br />

Treat yo' self. If you would like to have a look at this brush set or their other sets, individual brushes and accessories, have a peak at their website <a href="https://nanshy.com/shop/ref/318/"><span style="color: #edc7fa;">here</span></a>.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So guys, it's mid October... <i>like what, already?!</i> It's crazy how quick the year has gone, meaning Christmas is only round the corner and my 21st birthday woo!<i> </i>Also, I feel like I can finally wear chunky knits and cute booties, as it's gotten so bloody cold, not complaining though... it's my favourite season! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As you may know, I like to do monthly hauls as these are one of my most popular posts and do so well! I just want to apologise that I haven't been posting as much recently and that this is going up late this month. It's been a crazy couple weeks as i've just gone back to uni and it's already been manic so I haven't had much time to sit down and blog, but I will definitely make time now the first couple of weeks are done and dusted, </span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">sorry guys!</i><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, lets get onto what I purchased last month!</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=506637838&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #db7ca4;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b>NYX </b></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">- Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick| £6.50</span></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've always wanted to try some lip products from NYX. I originally wanted to try the 'Matte Lip Creams' but when I started to swatch the Liquid Suedes, I fell in love with the formula. I purchased the colour in 04 and I absolutely love it! It's a pinky nude, and has been my go-to lipstick at the moment. I really like the formulas as they're so moisturising. I find they don't dry down completely matte, so there is no drying to the lips which I really like! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Earlier in September, I attended my first blogging event in London (blog post all about it <a href="http://katherine-amy.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/bloggersfestival-2016-scarlett-london.html#more"><span style="color: #edc7fa;">here</span></a>). Ellie (Go follow her on Insta <span style="color: #edc7fa;">@makeupbyelv</span>), one of the lovely bloggers I met up with said she wanted to head to Guru Makeup Emporium shop to stock up on the RMCA No Colour Powder, and I had never tried it! So many youtubers like Jaclyn Hill have raved and raved about this and Ellie herself said it was amazing, so I thought I'd give it a go and it's definitely replaced my <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=204553242&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #fec7cb;">Laura Mercier powder</span></a> and 1/3 of the price!</span><br />

</span><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=490208287&pid=uid209-35947953-58&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><span style="color: #db7ca4;"><b style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">BEAUTY BLENDER</b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> - Pink & Black | £16 each</span></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For the absolute longest time, I have wanted to try the Beauty Blenders, but could never justify the price tag! For the last couple of years I've been using the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lookfantastic.com%2Freal-techniques-miracle-complexion-sponge%2F10846538.html%3Futm_source%3Dgoogleprod%26utm_medium%3Dcpc%26utm_campaign%3Dgp_bodycare%26affil%3Dthggpsad%26switchcurrency%3DGBP%26shippingcountry%3DGB%26gclid%3DCjwKEAjw-Oy_BRDg4Iqok57a4kcSJADsuDK1RuULThnVLc7wG_VqWdGADGMGnfv0JL5wTNNgeFwVFxoCV3Pw_wcB%26gclsrc%3Daw.ds%26dclid%3DCPK0g_Od0c8CFe6jUQod94UH9Q&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk&pid=uid209-35947953-58"><span style="color: #fec7cb;">Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge</span></a>, which apparently is equally as good, but quarter the price and i've absolutely loved it! Recently, I took the plunge and bought my first ever beauty blender and I loved it so much... I ended up buying another <i>whoops!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <a href="https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/anastasia-beverly-hills-modern-renaissance-eye-shadow-palette.html"><span style="color: #db7ca4;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>ABH </b>- Modern Renaissance Pa</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">lette | £41</span></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This palette has been EVERYWHERE on social media. YouTubers have raved, it's been raved about on Instagram... so you know the deal, I went and bought it! I'm easily tempted, but who wouldn't be?! It's stunning and even better IRL. It is on the pricey side, but personally, it's definitely worth it as I've been using it non-stop. I recently featured this in a <a href="http://katherine-amy.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/eyeshadow-palette-picks-autumn-makeup.html#more"><span style="color: #edc7fa;">Autumn Eyeshadow Picks</span></a> blog post, so if you want to know more about it, with photos, head on over <a href="http://katherine-amy.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/eyeshadow-palette-picks-autumn-makeup.html#more"><span style="color: #edc7fa;">here</span></a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">One of my fave Youtubers Shani Grimmond recently created a makeup tutorial using this liquid lipstick and I fell in love straight away and had to buy it! It's a purple/pink lippie with a brown undertone and it's nothing i've ever owned before but I LOVE it. It's definitely different from what I usually wear, but it's always good to get out your comfort zone isn't it?!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you've read my previous posts, especially the makeup looks, you would know I love buying my false eyelashes from Ebay as I think most of them are great quality for such a cheap price. Obviously I'm obsessed with lashes, so of course I had to stock up and buy some new ones to add to my collection, cause you can never have too many pairs!</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> </b><a href="http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/morphebrushes/35p35colorplumpalette/"><span style="color: #db7ca4; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>MORPHE BRUSHES</b> - 35P Palette | £19.50</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've had my eye on this eyeshadow palette for SO long as I think purple tones really complement brown eyes, but never got round to buying it. My boyfriend is an absolute sweetie and treated me, <i>thanks boo! </i>Literally, as soon as I opened the palette, it was like heaven. I love palettes when they're brand new and pristine, I don't want to touch them! The 35P eyeshadow palette is filled with mauve and purple shades, mattes, shimmers and foiled shadows and the pigmentation is INSANE.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is my first ever product from Gerard Cosmetics and the name of this setting spray just called at me! I got the spray in Jasmine, mostly because it was pink... I'm not too keen, but I'm not going to say too much about this spray as I'm planning on doing a review post on it, so I will leave it at that! I do plan to buy the Peach spray next, as everyone says it's the best out of the lot.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After buying the <a href="https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/anastasia-beverly-hills-glow-kit.html"><span style="color: #fec7cb;">That Glow Glow Kit</span></a>, I just had to buy another, and the Sweets kit really caught my eye! I'm a sucker for packaging, and I just fell in love and literally love all of the highlighters in the kit. They're super pigmented and make your highlight poppin' which is everything I need in a highlighter!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've wanted to try the LA GIRL concealers for the longest time now, after seeing countless of YouTubers raving about them and for the price, they're insanely cheap! I got mine from an Ebay seller, which I regret completely. I have a feeling it's a counterfeit product as it's horrific! It doesn't blend at all, the tube is half empty, not at all like what i've heard, so disappointed :( Will have to buy from an official store when I can and see the comparison!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Again, fellow blogger Ellie bought some soft box lights and recommended them to me, so I thought I might as well invest and it was the best thing ever, <i>thanks girl! </i>I can't tell you how much it has changed my photos. I am SO much happier with my photos for my blog and Instagram now as the quality and brightness has improved so much. Before I used to just use natural lighting with lots of editing, but my room hardly had much natural lighting, so buying these have been a game changer!</span><br />
