<div>
Since last year blogging has been somewhat of a difficult topic for myself. I have had so may changes in my life since last year. I got married, new job and I am now the proud owner of a beautiful cat.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I sort of 'quit' blogging for the year and deactivated my blog because I feel that it's become somewhat of a competition. When I started blogging like years back (possibly 6/7 years ago?!) it was the most amazing thing. It was my time to myself and it made me forgot about any worries I had. It was like therapy. We had such an amazing blogging community who helped and supported each other. There wasn't any sort of pressure to have your blog in some sort of way or even what sort of content we posted about. Overall it was really great. I used to blog as a hobby and to be honest I did miss doing this last year. I hadn't had a lot of time to blog but more importantly I didn't want to anymore. I didn't enjoy it because it become such a competition and almost very bitchy. I have literally seen women change in the blogging community. I have seen people not support the people they used to help and I feel I just didn't want to be in that sort of environment. I have even experienced people not being able to go to blogging meetups because they'd have a low follower count. Who even does that. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I look on YouTube or Instagram all I see is a follower competition or someone posting about how they have haters commenting or someone making a video about some sort of drama going on between bloggers or vloggers. If I ever scroll through the comments all I ever see is some sort of a comparison between bloggers or hateful comments. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All a little negative. I am certainly not saying that there are no bloggers who still help and support other bloggers. They deffo are all still here but I just wish things would change a little. Blogging has become a job for many people which I think is great but I do feel that bloggers who are only blogging as a hobby don't get much appreciation no longer. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But anywho, these are all just my opinions and that's all this is. I am certainly hoping to blog more and share many more beauty related reviews but also a lot more lifestyle posts too. Many changes to come soon. </div>

</script>In January I was invited down to <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/beauty/" target="_blank">Debenhams Leicester</a> where <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/beauty/estee-lauder" target="_blank">Estee Lauder</a> were hosting an event. I am very familiar with Estee Lauder as a brand and adore their range of products and what they have to offer. I think my mum has been using Estee Lauder for as long as I can remember and that has clearly been passed down to me. I am an avid user of their Double Wear Foundation and their lipsticks not to mention perfumes. Double Wear is such a well known foundation that I don't think I even need to go into detail about it.<br />

This was what I would describe as a very unique event to go to personally. I like events where the people behind the brand actually speak to you and what they represent as well as demonstrating the amount of hard work that goes into each and every product they develop, and I got all of that at this event. This was one of the 4 events in the UK I believe so I was very lucky to be there. Estee Lauder had actually brought their product development team with them where they almost demonstrated the science in beauty for all of us.<br />
<br />
They team had brought and showed us guys how the imaging machines worked, where it would essentially take a photograph of your skin that then measures the tones, pigmentation and textures in your skin. This information is then used to develop products where aspects such as the varying tones and textures are considered. I remember one of the team members mentioning that this way they could even find new tones or textures that exist, that may not be on their database or that they may know off. I found this very informative and just felt that yeah this brand that I like using actually is putting so much effort into what they are offering to the various consumers and just to see what sort of research they do and how they decide to incorporate this research and results into their marketing and products.<br />
<br />
After the science came the part we all love. Makeovers. I wanted to my foundation colour re-matched and one of Estee Lauder's global pro makeup artists, Blair Patterson assisted me through this. He has been with the brand for 15 years or so I believe (don't quote me). He was just amazing. I had a slight fan girl moment because I am a little bit of a fan of him and he helped me so much. I had been using 2 different shades of double wear mixing it together, and thanks to him it is a new shade and 1 bottle that is all. He helped me by telling me what my actual undertone is and in the end he actually just did a full makeover for me and I loved it.<br />
<br />
I was kindly given a goody bag with some skincare and makeup bits in there which I will hopefully review soon. I feel as though their skincare needs a massive shout out because it really is amazing. I love their serums and moisturizers. I have a sheet mask that was in my goody bag that is amazing. The best. This was genuinely such a great little experience I had. It was so great to actually see and hear what a brand does when it comes to creating products and all the hard work and effort.<br />
<br />
PS - I need to get my hands on their Bronze Goddess bronzer. I am very into my bronzer at the moment and I was in love with it. I have just purchased the double wear maximum coverage foundation. Amazing.<br />

Kylie Cosmetics has a lot of us on the path of being broke. </div>
<div>
I ordered some items to try out a while back now and these pictures have been sitting in my camera for ages so about time I blogged. My official first post of the year. And I hope everyone's start to the new year is going well!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have ordered more products by Kylie Cosmetics after this order. The KoKo Collection ($40 back in stock) is amazing btw which was one of the other things I got. It was limited edition and was the item I had a terrible shipping experience with but my millions of angry blogger lady emails may have gotten them to sort it out and one day it appeared on my doorstep which I was surprised about because they stopped corresponding. lol. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anywho, if you are ordering from the UK there is a hefty shipping charge (free international delivery for over $60) and not to mention the even heftier custom charge. I paid about £25. But for some reason I really like the products. I have tried not to like them but not working guys. I can't wait to sit there again at 3 pm PST to order the Valentines day collection. What is life.<br />

<div>
In this haul, I ordered both the palettes. I know there was another one that came out during Christmas time but I wasn't a fan of the shades. They were more on the cool toned side and I much prefer warmer tones. So featured above are the the Burgundy and Bronze palettes along with 3 liquid lipsticks in 22, Ginger and Pumpkin along with a complimentary liquid metal which I haven't even opened yet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have gotten so many compliments for 22 everytime I wear it. I recently went to an Estee Lauder event and everyone asked about my lip colour. Pumpkin and Ginger are very similar but equally really pretty shades. The palettes are both just so nice. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I missed out on the Royal Peach Palette but I feel she might release it again. </div>
<div>
If you guys want reviews on any of these leave me a comment or tweet. </div>
<div>
The burgundy palette is still available retailing for $42 and the lip kits for $29. </div>

This was one of my more exciting trips to a salon, firstly because I've heard great things about Rush since I started blogging years ago however they never had a salon near by. Mostly in London is what I heard or read about but this is the first one here in the Midlands I believe so yeah exciting and secondly my hair needed some deep TLC. Badly. It got to a point where I couldn't make it look great any how. Haircut was needed.<br />

They invited me over for a cut and finish a few weeks back which went really well. I didn't want a re-style or anything drastic at all. All he had to ask was how much shorter I'd like my hair to be and I think he saw the panic in my face. Yup. But I gotta tell you nothing like that happened and I actually felt really relaxed the whole time and it all goes to my stylist Shane who was so great. He did everything to make me be comfortable and I loved talking to him. I even got a coloring consultation with him which I haven't been able to make my mind up about but after talking to him I will be booking myself in to get a balayage done which I really excited about. He literally handed me the colour chart to look through.<br />
<br />
He used Kerastase products on me which as always were fantastic. I will deffo be investing in their heat protectant that they do which is something I really need to add to my hair routine. Instead of getting a whole new cut I just wanted my layers that were already present to be blended in and any damaged hair to be gone and just something to frame my face. After blow drying my hair he actually decided to curl it as well and I loved it. My hair looked so good. It felt soft and nourished and had that whole bounce to it. So just a big thank you to Shane for all the hard work! It's been weeks now and my hair looks good still.<br />
<br />
The salon itself is really spacious and really modern. I loved the decor and really liked how open it was.The salon had a great atmosphere which I really loved and the stylists there all provided really great customer service as well. Would I recommend it Yes. Deffo check it out if you are in need of a little hair pamper!<br />

</script>This is an overdue post and I'm not sure why its taken me this long to post it but here it is. I went along to the East Mids Meetup which was organised by <a href="http://www.carpediememmie.co.uk/" target="_blank">Emmie</a>, <a href="http://www.behindthescent.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kirstie</a> and <a href="http://www.thebrunettesays.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lianne</a>. It was held here in Leicester and a lot of planning and work had gone into this so I was pretty excited to finally go!<br />

<br />
We all met up at Manhattan 34 here in Leicester which was a really nice place to hold an event like this. I think about 40 other bloggers were also there so sort of a mini bloggers party really and it was pretty good if I may say so myself.<br />
<br />
Once we all got there we were all given a fact about another blogger and as an ice breaker we had to sort of ask around and find out who it was which I thought was a fun little thing to start off as most of us were nervous I bet but this was well a great ice breaker. We all had drinks etc and the lovely people from Bru were there as well who were so great to talk to. I am sure if you live in Leicester you've been to Bru. I love the cakes there and lucky us they brought a great selection of their cakes for all of us to try. Their Brownies are the best!<br />
<br />
During this time we also had some great entertainment by a very talented young singer, Becky Bruce. Besides this the lovely ladies from <a href="https://www.blogospheremagazine.com/" target="_blank">Blogosphere Magazine</a> were also there who talked about the magazine for bloggers written by us bloggers. I had a flick through the issues they had brought with them and they look really great and quiet informative yet a fun read. I think I will be subscribing very soon. If I do remember correctly there are 4 issues throughout the year for £25 I believe. Not bad at all.<br />
<br />
Gabby from <a href="http://www.coolasleicester.co.uk/" target="_blank">Cool as Leicester PR</a> was also there who gave a really informative talk on the PR side of things when it comes to blogging. It gave a great insight as to how to form relationships with PR's as well as basic things to do when approaching them, keeping your blog up to date as well as knowing your stats. <a href="http://www.daniquehairdressing.co.uk/" target="_blank">Danique Hair</a> and Angel eyes were also their giving us bloggers lash extensions and hair consultations which was really great of them.<br />

There was also a raffle where all the proceeds were going to Rainbows Hospice and Bowel Cancer UK. There were some really great prizes if I may say so. I think we all wanted the happiness planner! Also, the goody bags we all received at the end were so good! Thank You to <a href="http://www.matalan.co.uk/" target="_blank">Matalan</a> for the lovely items. I loved the home-ware items as well as Witch and Merumaya Skincare, Vita Coco, Lush and Carex.<br />
<br />
This was a really great meetup. It was organised really well and also really informative. I really liked that there was a lot of thought behind and I am sure everyone will agree with that. I really did pick up a lot of info and most importantly had a lot of fun and it was so great to meet so many other local bloggers! Thanks to all the girls who put this great meet up together!<br />

On Monday, along with a few other local bloggers, I was invited down to a little three course meal - Highcross style. I knew this was gonna be good. When food is involved it always is. Also, this may be a photo heavy post but it's food so you know how it is. I could take a million photos of the same item and well it's all worth it. </div>

We first headed to Pizza Express for starters. We ordered the Pizza Express original bruschetta, calamari, the antipasto platter and some dough balls. The dough balls. I could have just these on there own as the main. They were so good. I ate all the olives too I think. Yum, I also ordered the raspberry lemonade. So good! Also guys get the dough balls if I haven't already said enough. </div>

After Pizza Express we headed to Bills for the mains. Bills is just a pretty place to be. I think we were all excited to photograph the decor. I mean it's good food and just a great atmosphere to be honest. We were served possibly the best fish finger sandwich at Bills which is a specialty of theirs, along with some good old chips. It was also the biggest fish finger sandwich. The portion size is massive hence I didn't even get to finish it. I also ordered a watermelon cooler which I have had before and it was just as good as the last time I had it. Really refreshing and makes a bit of a from all the minty and lemony drinks I usually go for. </div>

For our third and final stop, we headed to ED's Diner for dessert. Little did we know they had a whole meal prepared for us as well as dessert. They were great and actually let us take it home but we all did have a milkshake and oh my gosh, it was so so good. I love recess peanut butter cups since I was about 9. I used to have a pack of it in my lunch at school almost every single day and this milkshake was just so good. Also, there was so much of it. Like literately a jug for a person. If you love anything peanut butter, like me, you will love this a lot. Go and get it. Please. Also, I got to take home a chickpea and quinoa burger which was really nice. I forgot to photograph it but it was delicious and different to the normal vegetarian variety you get. Also, the staff and ED's diner is so lovely! Such great service and so polite. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">On the Sephora website the description for this is stated as a thick velvet cream that dries as a stain. I </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">bought mine in 01 Always Red. It's a matte bold classic red. It comes in your typical liquid lipstick packaging with a doe foot applicator which is always nice because I find this sort of an applicator always provides a very finished and precised look, especially when you are trying to shape your lips. I've inserted both liquid and dry images so you can see the consistency which is fairly thick and velvety once you start applying. Once the formula is dry the colour actually becomes slightly darker which I sort of knew would happen and I much prefer it. It's not as drying either as many of the liquid lipsticks can be and neither does it start to crumble away particularly when you've eaten which the MUA ones do. It's more towards a cooler toned red I'd say with blue undertones. I'm more warmer toned, complexion wise, however it actually suits me well which I was surprised by because when I did see at first I was sort of like nah not for me. The consistency is great. It is not too heavy on the lips so</span> feels fairly light and there isn't a lot of transfer either. Overall it's a great lip stain and I would <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">recommend it if you ever have the to pick it up. </span></span></span></div>

I found my Collection fast stroke liner which I've used before but I sort of didn't love it at the time but I didn't hate it either. It was all I had that I could use and to be honest I haven't used another different eyeliner in a month now hence the rediscovery.<br />

At first glance, this is your typical old school liquid liner but who doesn't love that. The best eyeliner looks that I've seen so far (Instagram addiction) are from a very standard liquid liner. As much as I love gel liners I have the whole transfer problem where five minutes later it's all transferred on the crease. So annoying. I've been using this everyday and love it way more than I did before. I like my liner to be on the thicker side and this is perfect for it. Once you get used to it, a winged liner is so simple to create with this. The formula is great too with a perfect consistency. It's not very watery where you keep having to add layers but fairly thick. The applicator itself seem thick but it's actually pretty simple to create a thinner liner or wing as well because of the tip. Oh and my fave part. Dries matte. Completely matte with zero shine. Perfect. £2.99. Even better. </div>

I really like the concept they have. I mean it's a coffee shop as well as a place where you can browse and shop. It's quiet unique. Not only the concept but also their collection. If you're after something that is funky but elegant and not found in your local high street then this is your place.<br />

Whatever your personality and style is, you will find something accordingly. It's a brand that really provides great customer service. If you're ever in Leicester or are local, you have to check this place out. Besides shoes, there's coffee too and might I add they do the best coffee not to mention the tea and cakes. I've been here a few times before and the service is always great! </span></div>

It's always really great to see the other bloggers and have a catch up. We met up with Tristen from Frank PR who was so lovely and really great! We headed over to Bills for drinks (I've forgotten what I had but it was so good!) followed by a personal shopping experience at New Look and then a talk about the new Urban Decay products at Debenhams. Gotta say I was really excited about Urban Decay seeing as I am a massive fan of their products particularly the lipsticks and the setting sprays. <br />

We were shown around New Look in Highcross which is one of my personal favourite places to shop from. It's much bigger and there is a lot more variety. We were shown what colours and tones are in for the season as well as the top sellers. A lot of different textures and prints as well. Loving the tartan and the fur particularly. I loved the reds and oranges. The red bag on display really caught my eye. A great statement piece.Their display last month by the way was gorgeous. If you're from Leicester you must have seen it. It was so Christmasy and wintery. Loved it. We were also shown the Menswear section in new Look which is actually really good. Some really great pieces with a very selective range all being great. <br />

Next stop was Urban Decay where we were shown the New Vice Palette and how it came about. The colours are stunning and the packaging is gorgeous. I expected nothing less from Urban Decay. This new Vice palette is all about going back to the roots of Urban Decay and bringing that back. However what really really caught my eye was the Gwen Stefani Palette in collaboration with Urban Decay. One of the best collaborations in my option and oh my gosh it is beautiful. The colours and packaging which is unique and the overall look of it is interesting. A lot of neutrals but there is still that pop of colour to it so it's so very easy to create a day to night look with this. A very urban (hence Urban Decay) and rustic look to it that I think looks beautiful and something that defines Urban Decay and Gwen Stefani's signature look. <br />

</script>Camel coloured coats are all the talk this season. Literally. Everywhere you go, every picture on instagram you may come across, you're bound to see a camel coloured coat of some sort. I do think people have a love hate relationship with it though. I love it. Not since now but since last year. I think this fashion hype has been elevated ever since Kim K was spotted sporting a camel coat and then followed by other countless celebrities. What you may think the colour 'camel' is may not actually be 'camel' for someone else hence why I do like that it's basically all different shades of nude. Tan, beige, camel, nude etc. whatever you'd like to call it. I was actually looking for a coat today online and thought hey why not do a little blog post about it. I miss doing my fashion posts that I used to do (even though they're not that great. I try!) and I had an urge to blog today as well after so long. I am back to studying with a new job hence why I've been gone but hey better late than never. Clearly going off tangent now. Anyways back to the camel coat. I've put together a little inspirational collage with a few affordable coats. My favourite is the <a href="http://www.newlook.com/cart/quickBuyDetail.jsp?productFind=pdprecs&icProduct=347282017&height=500&width=970&parentPageUrl=/shop/womens/jackets-and-coats/black-brushed-coat-_360337401" target="_blank">Newlook Camel Coat</a> which is around £30. Not bad for a coat at all. I actually tried this on in store today but for some reason I didn't get it and yes I do regret it now. I am currently on the <a href="http://www.newlook.com/cart/quickBuyDetail.jsp?productFind=pdprecs&icProduct=347282017&height=500&width=970&parentPageUrl=/shop/womens/jackets-and-coats/black-brushed-coat-_360337401" target="_blank">Newlook</a> website right now buying it by the way just to let you all know. It was such a great fit. Oversized but just right. Also the coat from <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/all-coats/jeeny-camel-wool-look-coat/invt/azz06155?utm_source=AWIN&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_term=92295&awc=2319_1448131174_0fb7b6443a5f65d78aaf8d07197229ed" target="_blank">Boohoo.com</a><span id="goog_2049198216"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_2049198217"></span> is quiet nice too. I am sort of loving the exaggerated collar there. Let me know what you guys think about this current trend. I'll link the rest below :)<br />

<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;">I've been a Zukreat fan for a long time now. If you follow her on Instagram then you know what I am talking about. I love the way she creates beautiful yet natural makeup looks. </span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;">The event was lovely and really fun and one that I was really excited about. A few of us bloggers were invited for the launch where we helped ourselves to some delicious macarons and canapes. After this we all received a masterclass by Zukreat herself which was amazing. She talked about her makeup line and talked through how to use the products as well where she created a beautiful look on on of the Femi girls (with amazing eyebrows). It was great to see how she used the products and I am sure we all learned and picked up a few tips and tricks. I was really impressed by the cream foundations she applied on the model. The coverage was beautiful and the foundation itself looked so natural. </span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;">There was also a meet and great with Zukreat later on for which the queue was huge! It's safe to say the place was completely packed out. It was great to test out the products as well. I was most excited to try the ever so popular art liner and the contour sticks, both of which we were kindly given to us to try out ourselves along with some eyeshadows. I will be doing reviews soon of all products so keep an eye out for that. </span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;">PS - The eyeliner is amazing and everyone needs to grab it! </span></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;">Afterwards we had a tour of the salon as well which I might add is huge from the inside! All the rooms are beautiful and just by looking at them you can tell you'd be relaxed. They offer a range of treatments and lots of facilities as well. I know that I will soon be a making a trip on my own to experience the different treatments. The staff also were all so helpful and lovely which is always a plus! </span></span></span></div>

You either hate them or it's love at first sight (swipe<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; line-height: 18.2px;">?</span>). It takes time to get used to a new mascara but you know that you'll either love it or hate in the first application. That is the case for me at least. I LOVE <a href="http://www.iheartmexo.com/2013/01/revlon-grow-luscious-mascara.html" target="_blank">the original Revlon grow luscious mascara.</a> It is one of my top 3 and forever will be. I did <a href="http://www.iheartmexo.com/2013/01/revlon-grow-luscious-mascara.html" target="_blank">a review</a> of it a long time ago. I thought I'd try the Revlon grow luscious lash potion mascara (waterproof). The packaging did sway me have to say. But do I think it's better<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; line-height: 18.2px;">?</span> That's the question. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In comparison to the original, this is nothing. I did not like this when I tried it and even after weeks of testing it I still thought it wasn't all that great. The packaging I do love. Really eye catching. The wand I liked as well. It's on the bigger side and a little tapered which helps to get the inner corner lashes. What I didn't like was the formula and the after effect of it. I found the formula of this mascara to be rather dry. I felt like that there was no product transfer on the wand at all. At first, after trying to get some product on the brush, it does apply well but the whole application of it is dry. I find this to be really flaky and clumpy. Even after building it up it make my lashes look really unnatural, dry and clumped. When I do have it on I also found it to smudge even though it's waterproof which didn't make sense at all. Overall great brush but wrong formulation I'd say. It does give you volume and length but not in a very nice way! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">If you've tried this let me know what you thought. </span></div>

It was great to see a few familiar faces and I am pretty sure all of us had a lovely time as well! Being the foodie I'am, I couldn't say no and hence I was so excited. It was a great food filled evening at Highcross who were celebrating the launch of the brand new<a href="http://www.highcrossleicester.com/news/plus" target="_blank"> PLUSapp</a> which a free app filled with lots of exclusive discounts.<br />

We first headed off to <a href="http://bills-website.co.uk/" target="_blank">Bill's restaurant</a> for some delicious starters where I met up with Gabby who organised the event for us and the rest of the bloggers. I love the atmosphere in Bill's. I've been their for their breakfast before which is a really lovely treat. It's so laid back and relaxing and the staff members are so lovely. The starters were a mixture so there was something for everyone as I opted for a vegetarian option. Ps- You need to try their humous. The best. I also loved their take on cheese on toast and their bread. So good! You have to try it if you haven't already.</div>

Afterwards we headed off to <a href="http://handmadeburger.co.uk/" target="_blank">Handmade burger co</a> for the mains which was my first time there and it was worth it as I would deffo be going back soon. Again I opted for a vegetarian option and usually most places make the vegetarian options really boring but this place had a good range and I actually found it difficult to pick one. I went for the Italian mushroom stack with extra cheese and sweet potato fries with rosemary salt (it made all the difference) which was probably the best vegetarian burger I've had no joke. You have to try the fries as well *insert heart face emoji*.Oh and their peanut butter and banana milkshake was just the perfect drink. I am actually not exaggerating but if you haven't been here yet you HAVE to go because it's delicious. Also I have to say their staff and the service was perfect. Everyone is so lovely and polite and really helpful as well. They explained everything to us as well as telling us the menu faves.</div>

We were suppose to head off to Patisserie Valerie for dessert but we were running a little late so we were unable to make it but everyone got to try dessert at Handmade burger co instead which I am sure everyone enjoyed. Overall I really loved it. It was so great to see <a href="http://www.tattooedtealady.com/" target="_blank">Sophia</a>, <a href="http://www.notyouraverage.co.uk/" target="_blank">Emma</a>, <a href="http://www.faiiint.com/faiiint/" target="_blank">Stephanie</a> and <a href="http://www.sugar-darling.com/" target="_blank">Nancy</a>. I loved talking to all the bloggers and it was the perfect size for a mini event. Thankyou to Gabby for inviting us all! If you haven't been to Highcross Leicester yet, then what are you waiting for! So many great places to dine and shop. It's a win win. </div>

I've done a bit of shopping recently and there was a lot so I thought I'd do a little haul post since haul posts are my most favourite things to read. It's always quiet interesting to know what others are trying out and what they've bought. A while ago I just kinda stopped buying makeup because I wanted use up what I had but last week I had it and I went out and well this blog post is now happening so ofcourse damage was done. Also guys I am so sorry about the image quality. Just trying to sort my camera out - get a new one *insert crying emoji*. </div>

I picked up the Urban Decay electric palette from beauty bay which I've been wanting for so long. I don't actually have a palette that has bright colours in it so this is perfect. The colour payoff is gorgeous as always and the packing is just beautiful. Full review to follow. The Too Faced natural matte palette was a gift for my birthday from two of my friends and it's so lovely! You can never ever have too many neutral palettes and I'll hopefully review this as well.<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TT1FgAYF0o4/Vbqm7G8PzyI/AAAAAAAAFX4/sxCLwBu0F38/s1600/IMG_1569-002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TT1FgAYF0o4/Vbqm7G8PzyI/AAAAAAAAFX4/sxCLwBu0F38/s640/IMG_1569-002.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
On to some lip products now. I am obsessed with matte lipsticks. Lip products in general actually. I love the Mua matte lip lacquers. I have a few already but ofcourse can never have too many. I picked up the colour Kooky which is a purple. And following with the purple theme I also got the Sleek matte me lip cream in fandango purple. I am loving purple as you can see. These are awesome and may have purchased more of the sleek matte me lip creams. Also got the Sephora lip stain in 01 which is SO beautiful. Love, Will review that soon. Nyx matte lip cream in Copenhagen and Chanel rouge allure velvet lipstick in 37 are also two new addictions.<br />

TK maxx sometimes have hidden gems in the beauty section. I found this Maybelline gel liner and great lash mascara set for £7.99 which is a bargain considering the gel liner itself is about £7.99. (love the gel liner - have gone through about 6!).<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wzmrdmo_HHU/VbqnFJhHHhI/AAAAAAAAFYI/-IlPQTk9BXY/s1600/IMG_1616.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wzmrdmo_HHU/VbqnFJhHHhI/AAAAAAAAFYI/-IlPQTk9BXY/s640/IMG_1616.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
Mac soft and gentle highlighter (gift) and an empty quad as you can see. Mac is just too tempting these days. I need to make a huge order soon for my clients so any must haves let me know!<br />
Sleek contour kit in medium. Perfect for light to medium skintones and such a great kit to have.<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8Oct6vpzxjY/VbqnPX80oSI/AAAAAAAAFYQ/H9NVCUPlICE/s1600/IMG_1621.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8Oct6vpzxjY/VbqnPX80oSI/AAAAAAAAFYQ/H9NVCUPlICE/s640/IMG_1621.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
I can not tell you how many containers of this no7 translucent powder I have gone through. I use this for myself as well as for my clients and it's the finest powder I have come across. It's around £11 and gives such a great refined finish. I prefer this over my Mac loose powder. I also picked up the small version of the Urban Decay de-slick makeup spray. I thought I'd get the smaller one to see if I like it or not.<br />

I mentioned TK maxx before and from there I picked up some eylure, eye candy,babyliss, eco tools and Ardell lashes all costing around £2.99 or less. Bargain. Never have too many lashes. I actually didn't know eco-tools were doing lashes (not that I've heard of) but these looked great so I will be reviewing them soon and will let you guys know what they're like. And ofcourse some Duo lash glue which drys matte black. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me know if there's anything in particular you guys want me to review!</div>

A few years ago this was ALL the hype. Everyone blogged about it. Everyone raved about it. Everyone loved it. The name of this product is actually very impactful if you think about about. Talks about removing an annoying problem and who would say no to that. Clever indeed. I used it then and wasn't sure about it. Few years later I try it out again and still not sure. It's just a bit blah for me if you know what I mean.<br />

So it's a blemish treatment gel and I know that gels usually dry out your skin. They're meant to dry the spot down and make it disappear. I have got some crazy skin issues going on right now and I went and said let me go get this and try it out again. It's worked for so many people and I had high hopes for the second time but it's still a no. It does nothing for me at all. Makes my skin really dry and it somewhat b<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">urns my skin. But my skin is super sensitive so this may not happen to everyone but if you do have very sensitive skin then I'd say stay away. I used it twice a day for weeks but nothing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And also I feel like it's actually not a lot of product. I did have to use quiet a bit. Maybe someday this will work for me but as much as I wanted it to work it didn't.</span></div>

Time to ditch the nudes and pull out all the bright lip colours. For me at least! A favourite bright lip colour of mine to use is Impassioned by Mac. I've had this for a long time and as soon as the sun comes out so does this lipstick.<br />

Impassioned is an amplified finish so the pigmentation and the colour payoff is very intense. Amplified finish is usually very creamy as well as having a high shine factor. I use a lip liner in a bright pink colour under it so that it lasts longer and usually with a lip liner it makes your lips look fuller as well as neater when you apply lipstick on top. It's a stunning bold and vibrant lip colour. So if you love a good bright lip then deffo go for it. It's almost like a neon pink but looks different on different skin tones. On me it looks very bright and I absolutely love it. It lasts for about 4-5 hours on me. It starts to fade from the center so you would need to re-apply because of the creamy consistency. The colour payoff is beautiful in one swipe but I prefer to intensify the colour so I apply a bit more. It's deffo a very buildable colour. If you have a tan this would look stunning! For anyone who loves bright pinks then have a look at this. </div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey Guys</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Gonna start this off with a question. Is it just me or is really difficult to find an exfoliator that satisfies you<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">? I do. It's just one of them things that I'm really very picky about. I've been using a new exfoliator recently followed by a serum by the same brand and so far it's been great. I've reviewed a few products by Rio Rosa Mosqueta before and was really happy with them and the skin brightening exfoliator and serum are no less. </span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This is so lovely. It's the perfect mix of gentle and coarse. So it's great on my skin which is sensitive yet still having that exfoliate feel to it where you have that 'clean' feel about your skin. I use this to take of makeup as well and it does the job so well. It has ingredients such as rosehip seed oil, avocado, shea butter and golden bamboo. I am always a little skeptical towards products when they mention things like brightening but I could actually see my skin appearing brighter. Sometimes my skin needs a boost when it becomes really dull and since I've started using this it just looks a lot better as in it's no longer dull. It feels a lot softer and smoother and after moisturising makeup goes on flawlessly. I love that it has beads in it that are slightly on the coarse side yet still being gentle. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who feels their skin needs a boost and a lift. I am almost completely out of this now so will deffo be getting another! </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Along with the exfoliator, I've been applying the firming face serum as well every day. I prefer to use it once a day particularly at night. This contains ingredients such as rosehip oil, babassu, sacha inchi and white tea. It has a medium consistency similar to that of a standard mosituriser. It's another lovely product. I love this. It's gotten rid of the very very annoying dry patches under my eyes for which I am so thankful. Everytime I'd apply foundation or concealer it would just look terrible but at the moment my skin is great. It feels tighter and much firmer as well as looking much brighter. </span></div>

I was recently invited along to the first Spring Beauty Fix event held at <a href="http://www.highcrossleicester.com/" target="_blank">Highcross</a> Leicester. The weather was pretty good that day too so big thumbs up for that. Highcross had many offers on throughout the center for the two days the event was held (last weekend) and I decided to check out all the discounts and offers. Ps- I am so sorry about the image quality. Currently searching for a new camera! </div>

The first thing I was pretty excited about was the Beauty Amnesty. Here you were able to ditch 5 old or unwanted beauty items and in return you got a £10 gift-card that you were able to use anywhere in Highcross. Since the makeup hoarder I am, I do have a lot and many items that I don't use any longer. I brought quite a few bits that I put in the pink bin and in return got a £10 gift card. (Got more makeup with that). This was such a great idea I think. Another thing that I loved was the free colour consultation where you were able to take a look at and discuss what colours and palettes are best for you fashion wise. I loved taking a look at all the outfits and the colours for spring. I have my eye on the most amazing jumpsuit from River Island *insert heart face emoji*. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After this I got myself a seven day YSL foundation sample and also some foundation and primer samples from Urban Decay who were also offering demonstrations. Rituals were offering complementary skin consultations. They were also offering goody bags once you sign up to their mailing list. Can't say no to that. Clarins were also offering a skincare update and a mini facial. I actually didn't go to Clarins but such a great offer. Overall it was great day and there were so many offers and discounts. My two favourites were the beauty amnesty and the colour colour consultation! </div>

I don't know about you guys but everytime I go shopping I have to go <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/">House of Fraser</a>. They always have some lovely things and I always find something at a really good price too. Plus they stock a lot of makeup that's hard to find ya know. Anyways, it's actually jewellery that I wanted to share with you guys today. They have a beautiful selection of jewellery in-store and online and I selected some gorgeous <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Necklaces/S1820,default,sc.html">statement necklaces</a>. There's so much on there that's reduced to crazy prices at the moment as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first one is a beautiful necklace by Ziba called the <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Ziba+Harriet+necklace/197395219,default,pd.html">Ziba Harriet necklace</a>*. I adore this. This is reduced from £95 to £17.10. Cray. I know. That's some discount there! I actually didn't know this but the studs or the gems are actually on some felt I think which is actually good. The necklace actually stays put on your clothes and doesn't move about hence you don't have to keep fixing it etc. This one looks great with a white collared shirt. Brings out the colours in the necklace. I love the pop of blue it has.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But my favourite is the second one. This is by <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Coast+Alannis+necklace/211429023%2cdefault%2cpd.html">Coast called Alannis*</a> which unfortunately now that I've checked is out of stock and this was reduced to something crazy as well. I LOVE it. I can just tell I am gonna get so much wear out it. It's a mix of gold and brassy toned metal with clear gems and goes with so much. I love the design of it. It's very current. I also love the chain to this. Both of these are such great quality as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'd love to know which is your fave! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I have a bit of an overflowing collection (as my mum likes to say) but you can't blame me. It's another addiction. The <a href="http://thelibraryoffragrance.com/products/bulgarian-rose" target="_blank">Library of fragrance Bulgarian rose*</a> is a new addition to the 'overflowing' collection. I'm sure you guys have been reading lots of reviews on fragrances by the <a href="http://thelibraryoffragrance.com/" target="_blank">Library of Fragrance</a>. When I first heard about it I thought the concept was great. It's different and sometimes that's what we need. The fragrances are described as cologne sprays and they have a huge variety to choose from. What I love about these is not only that there's an array of scents but how unusual and different they are. Some of these include gin and tonic, baby powder and even play doh.<br />

I love a good floral sc<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">ent and roses are deffo one of them. Out of all, <a href="http://thelibraryoffragrance.com/products/bulgarian-rose" target="_blank">Bulgarian rose</a> (30ml) is what sounded lovely to me which is a cologne sp</span>ray. It's described as a clean, fresh scent. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">'Harvested by hand, Bulgarian rose oil is also known as ‘liquid gold’ in the perfume industry, because it takes more than 1,300 rose blossoms to create just one gram of rose oil! This incredible flower is still only grown in two places in the world – Turkey and Bulgaria – which offer the perfect conditions for it to flourish.'</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">I did have an idea of wha</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">t this scent will be like as I've previously have used products with the same fragrance. At first when you spray this, it starts off as being quite a sweet and sharp scent but then instantly turns into a floral rose fragrance. Within a few seconds the rose note comes through. I wouldn't say it's a light scent as described but a little stronger. You literally only need about 2 sprays or even 1 as I do find it to be quite overpowering if used too much. It may not be light but it's certainly a soft fragrance and is 'very' floral. If you like rose scents then you'll love this. The best way for me to describe this for you guys in simple words is that this is a soft yet quite a strong fragrance and almost like a'grown up' kind of a fragrance. It lasts a really good time as well. Certainly better than some of my perfumes if you ask me. You can also layer these scents to almost create your own personal fragrance. Also, the bottle itself is great I think. The size is great to throw in your handbag. It's a nice simple bottle which I really like. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Boots are currently stocking 28 of their fragrances which can be bought online at <a href="http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SolrSearchLister?storeId=10052&langId=-1&catalogId=11051&stReq=1&searchTerm=library+of+fragrance#container">Boots.com</a> but this one unfortunately is not part of the Boots line up but you can purchase this online from the brands own site. They all retail at £15. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
I've been into my Boots and have had a look at all the other fragrances that are available and I kinda want a few because they smell so lovely and unique. There's very different scents like thunderstorm, fresh laundry, fresh cut grass (which btw smells exactly like fresh cut grass!) and rain. I'll be honest and tell you guys that if you want to maybe get a present for someone this would be great. To me this is like getting a fragrance according to someones personality and it's different. I have peony and jasmine on my wishlist currently. Let me know what you guys think!</div>

I'm currently expanding my brush collection and I've added a few new ones to it one being the Real Techniques setting brush. I've not actually seen many reviews of this but I can't remember who's blog it was where I first seen it and I knew I had to have it. This was a while back as well. Anyways before I ramble on I finally got it and thought I'd share my opinion on it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll just say it now asap that I love this brush. There isn't a single thing that I don't like about it. It's a good size and is pink which is a win. The brush itself is quite small and the brush is cut in a way that it fits in the small areas or contours of your face. So it's perfect for setting under eye concealer or setting foundation around your chin, eyebrow and nose area. I also love using this to apply highlighter. I think it works really very well for that. So your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose and on your cupids bow. Another thing I use this brush for is to contour with. The size of it helps to that well as well. It blends the product away really well too. The brush like other Real Techniques brush is cruelty free. It's one of the softest brushes I have ever used. Everytime I use this on a client they always comment on how lovely it feels. I can't remember exactly but it's around the £8 mark but well worth it. I've washed this countless times and like the other Real Techniques brushes no shedding at all. If you're after something that makes contour and highlighting easy as well setting concealers then this is what you need.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also, I'd love to know any other Real Technique recommendations. </div>

I'm one of them for sure. It's really handy especially for someone who starts getting limp hair on day 2 after the wash. Sigh.<br />
I don't use dry shampoo for only getting rid of oily hair but also to lift it from the roots. I have long hair so a lot of the times my hair can get really flat from my roots. I've used many dry shampoos and I kinda love trying different ones. I've been recently trying out a <a href="http://www.hairtrade.com/fudge-dry-shampoo-150g-p-1891.html" target="_blank">dry shampoo by Fudge</a>, a brand which I really love. Their <a href="http://www.iheartmexo.com/2013/05/fudge-salt-spray.html" target="_blank">salt spray</a> is one of the best I have used.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Fudge dry shampoo* -<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> '<span style="background-color: #f5f6f8; line-height: 17px;">This waterless aerosol shampoo is on-the-go cleansing to remove excess oil for all kinds of hair'</span></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: #f5f6f8;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">This dry shampoo has two special ingredients - apricot kernel oil which smooths the hair and rice starch to absorb oil. I spray a fair amount of this into my roots and massage it in as you do. You don't actually need a lot but I sort of prefer to add extra cause my hair can be extra oily or flat. It does have a white residue like a lot of the other dry shampoos but you can easily brush that out. It makes your hair appear matte instantly and adds a lift and volume to your hair. It almost thickens your hair after massaging this in. Good to use if you want to make a high messy ponytail. The only thing I dislike about this is the scent. I can't exactly put my finger on what the actual scent is but it's quite strong. It's stays in your hair for a while and starts to fade away in a few hours which is good as I didn't quite like the smell. I also love the overall packaging. It doesn't affect the product but it's always nice to have something eye catching. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: #f5f6f8;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">Overall, this was a really great dry shampoo.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hope you all are doing great and a very very late happy new year to all!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The last time I posted was like all the way in October. A much needed break was needed because I have lots going on all at once. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But during that I had a think that blogging recently has become so same. I know that same is not the best word to describe it haha. I'm just gonna get straight to the point. I feel like maybe I should write about how I feel even though many people won't really care but hey let's do it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />I feel as if recently it's just all about stats, how to increase traffic, PR samples, giveaways and followers as that's what I've been seeing. Yeah all those things are great. They really are but where is the originality gone to<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">? </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">My number one reason to start blogging years go was simply because I loved anything to do with beauty and thought to myself this is great. I love the interaction with followers. It's one of my favorite things about having a blog. Every comment makes me smile. People who love the same thing as you and get you. I mean who wouldn't love that right</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">? I just feel that there is a lot of negativity around blogging at the moment as if it's a followers and stats competition. Which it was not like before. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">I didn't know what PR was at that time or the fact that you get samples and things. The first time I got a PR sample my exact thoughts were oh that's cool but I didn't forget why I started blogging. I still blog cause I love the beauty world and not because you get 'free stuff'. I have people that have literally asked that I want to start a blog can you help and I am all up for that. Of course I'll help but straight after that their second question is how do you get free stuff and how do you get paid through it</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">? That's where it just makes me think is that why you want to do it</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><span style="color: #252525;">Sometimes I feel that there is a pressure to post and update regularly on other bloggers but to be honest you should blog when you feel like it. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><span style="color: #252525;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Then secondly is there like a stats competition going on</span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">? I'm just gonna leave that here. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">I want people to genuinely read my blog and not just follow because I have a giveaway up which makes me think is it even worth me updating this blog and I actually love and am very proud of. </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">My heart is still in this and not for a second do I want to stop blogging but you know you get them thoughts. I sound so serious don't I</span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">? Like this is my baby</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">?! Which I guess it is. I've worked hard on this blog and I love blogging. It's almost like a getaway.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">You don't need a fancy camera or an amazing editing program all you need is a little bit of passion which will get you far in a lot of things in life.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">But I had to kinda put this out here. Like a mini rant. I've actually had a few emails and tweets from some of my readers to update and the fact that they loved reading my blog which did put a smile on my face if you ask me! These are just my thoughts and no one has to agree with it at all but let me know if we share similar thoughts or even if not I'd love to hear from you!</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Hareem x</span></span></span><br />
