This way hopefully I can narrow it down and save my bank balance! So, these are my most wanted products of the moment, I haven't tried any before.</span><br />

At the end of July I finally decided to visit my GP regarding my skin, she prescribed me a solution of erythromycin and zinc acetate. This is a 'watery' solution that comes in a small bottle with a sponge top, to be applied twice a day. My doctor recommenced changing my skin care to using just a tea tree face wash. So I took her advice and visited my local Superdrug after the appointment. I picked up the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/face-wash/superdrug-tea-tree-and-peppermint-foam-face-wash-160ml/invt/81221/&bklist=">Tea Tree and Peppermint Foam Face Wash</a> and began using it immediately. After a week or so I felt as if using a face wash alone wasn't quite enough to fully clean my skin and so I headed back to Superdrug and picked up the matching <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/make-up-remover/tea-tree+peppermint-cleansertoner-200ml/invt/81205/&bklist=">cleanser & toner</a> and the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/moisturiser/tea-tree-moisturiser-30ml/invt/81167/&bklist=">moisturiser</a>. I've been using these consistently for over a month now and have seen great results. In the last week and a half I've had no new blemishes, which is pretty amazing for me. I'd highly recommend checking these out if you have blemish prone skin too. They're very reasonably priced with most items being £2.99 (the whole range is currently on offer - <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/2-for-ps399-on-selected-superdrug/icat/2011e10_sdteatree/">2 for £3.99</a>). This is probably the cheapest and most effective range I've used for many years. The list of products I've tried over the years is never ending. All the popular things - Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish (worsened my blemishes a lot!), Oxy, Clean & Clear, Clearasil, Neutrogeona....I could go on.<br />

Have you found any great skin care products recently? I'm looking for a new eye cream at the moment, any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading.<br />

I'm hoping to redecorate my bedroom and have been searching for ideas and little bits and pieces. I really love Alex's style from<a href="http://www.hrhcollection.net/"> HRH Collection</a>, I can only dream of making my room look as chic as her apartment does. If you know of any other great interior design blogs/websites please let me know! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As many of you may be aware Habitat has gone into administration and are thus having a huge sale, everything was at least 50% off in the store I visited, I recommend visiting if you can. I picked up a few bits: some mini garland lights, tealight holders, a pretty glass and the plate below all for £10.40. I decided to use the plate to display my rings, rather than leaving them hidden away in a box.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know a few of the rings are bit rusty/worn, I threw away about 5 after taking these photos. I've only just started painting my rings with clear nail varnish (Sally Hansen Mega Shine) and it really does work! Most of the rings are from Topshop, Miss Selfridge, New Look or Dorothy Perkins - nothing expensive.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Let me know what you think, and do you have any great ways of displaying your jewellery? </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Basically you have to decide which 10 products you would keep if you had to give up the rest of your make up. So after a lot of deliberation here are my 10...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1.<i><b> Bare Minerals Mineral Veil </b></i>- I'm using this as a setting powder at the moment and I don't love it to be honest; but when my usual Maybelline dream matte powder ran out I decided I should use this up first before repurchasing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. <b><i>Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer</i></b> - I just repurchased my second tube of this, it really is a great concealer for the price. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. <b><i>Urban Decay Primer Potion</i></b> - I only started using this a few months ago and it's amazing. My eyeshadow always used to end up creased by the end of the day but with this it stays perfect all day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. <b><i>Models Prefer Eyebrow Pencil</i></b> - I have very light eyebrows so really need to use a pencil everyday, this is a great shade for me. I never seem to be able to find a good match in an eyeshadow.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. <b><i>L'Oreal Super Liner</i></b> - Everyone seems to talk about and it is definitely worth the hype.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. <b><i>No7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation</i></b> - This is my all time favourite foundation but has sadly been discontinued now and I still haven't found a replacement that's as good. I stocked up on a few when I found out they were stopping it and still have another full one left for now while I hunt for its replacement.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. <b><i>MaxFactor Flawless Perfection Blush in Mulberry</i></b> - I love this shade it reminds of the colour Kate Middleton tends to wear.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8.<b><i> Urban Decay Naked Palette</i></b> - I've used the palette almost every day since buying it and I love it. Great for every day wear and special occasions.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">9. <b><i>Guerlain Kiss Kiss Straus Lipstick in Rose de la Reine</i></b> - A fairly recent purchase this lipstick is a great texture and colour, I'll definitely be checking out more Guerlain products. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10. - <b><i>L'Oreal Double Extension Beauty Tubes Mascara</i></b> - I like this mascara as it's the only one I've found that doesn't smudge on me, I prefer the effects of other mascaras but they always end up smudged. Does anyone know of any other good 'tubing' mascaras?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tag all of my readers to do this, if you don't have a blog please let me know your 10 in the comments.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">....vintage <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Estée Lauder</span> make up catalogue. Whilst my boyfriend was tidying up at his home a few weeks ago he told me he came across an </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">Estée Lauder catalogue from 1987! I was amazed and wanted to see it straight away, an excitement he certainly didn't share. I was intrigued to see how much the style make up had changed in the last 24 years. The thing that struck me immediately was in fact the opposite, to me it doesn't seem to have changed a great deal and could easily be mistaken for less that 10 years old. I've included a scanned version of the catalogue below.</span></span></span><br />

Below is a photo of the new design I created and also a snapshot of this current design. Please let me know which you prefer by voting at the bottom of the page. Thanks.<br />

<br />
<b>1</b>.<i> TRESemme Instant Refresh Dry Shampoo</i> - This really is better than Batiste to me, it smells better and it's less 'powdery'. I don't really use it for its purpose as I wash my hair every day anyway, but it's great to add a bit of volume or to refresh at the end of the day.<br />
<br />
<b>2.</b> <i>Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream</i> - I've loved this product for years but this month I've been using it nearly everyday for a lip balm and it's great. I tend to put it on at night and my lips are really soft the next day.<br />
<br />
<b>3</b>. <i>Avon Mattifying Mineral Face Cream SPF 30</i> - I was attracted to this product as it said 'mattifying' and I have very oily skin, especially in the summer. I've been using it everyday on top of my moistuiser, it sinks in really quickly and I haven't noticed my skin becoming any oilier or my foundation lasting any less cause of a build up of product.<br />
<br />
<b>4.</b> <i>Leighton Denny Crystal Nail File</i> - I really love this! It's without doubt the best nail file I've tried., and I've tried a lot. It makes filing your nails so quick and easy and has a lifetime guarantee!<br />
<br />
<b>5.</b> <i>Nubar 2010</i> - This nail varnish is amazing, it's really hard to describe. I think I'm going to do a blog post about it with photos. It's a top coat and when applied sort of looks like gold flecks that change colour in the light.<br />
<br />
<b>6.</b> <i>ELF powder brush</i> - I've only had this for about a week so maybe it shouldn't be in here but I've loved using it. I use it to apply my foundation and then power. It's such a great brush for full coverage. It's really soft and dense and best of all it only cost £3.50.<br />
<br />
<b>7.</b> <i>ELF Luscious Liquid Lipstick (Baby Lips)</i> - Again I've only had this for a week but it's also great. It's a really nice colour, not sticky at all and has a peppermint flavour. The applicator makes it really easy to apply too. I wish I'd got more!<br />

</td></tr>
</tbody></table><b>1.</b> <i>John Frieda Go Blonder Lightening Spray</i> - So this was a bit of a disaster product, I think. I can't say for sure. I had been using this for about a week on my roots, as they needed dying. It worked really well, they were definitely lighter. However when I then dyed my hair, the same way as I have done for well over a year now, my roots turned a gingery/brassy blonde. This product is the only reason that I can think of that caused this. Maybe you're not supposed to use it before dying? Has anyone else experienced this? I pretty much have a full bottle left now and I'm not sure if I want to use it again!<br />
<br />
<b>2</b>. <i>Umberto Giannini Backcomb In A Bottle</i> - I was really hoping a lot of this product, but it was disappointing. To me it's just like spraying hairspray on your roots. It leaves them felling sticky and hard, and the volume doesn't last more then 5 minutes for me. Maybe I'm using wrong, I'm not sure. I followed the instructions but it just doesn't work for me.<br />
<br />
<b>3</b>.<i> Dark and Lovely Ultra Cholesterol Mask</i> - This may seem and odd product for me to buy as I have blonde hair but I had seen SWalkrmakeup recommend it (I think) and my friend told me it should work brilliantly on my hair. It really doesn't. It doesn't feel like a mask at all and leaves my hair feeling quite dry and course. The consistency of the product is really thick and creamy so I thought it would be great but as soon I washed it off I could already feel my hair wasn't as soft as normal. Then on drying it it seemed dryer and in worse condition than when just using a normal conditioner.<br />
<br />
So that was June! It was an exciting month for me as I started blogging! I'm so glad I did and I can't believe I have 26 followers now! I thought I'd be writing to myself for a while. Thanks to everyone for following and reading, it means a lot.<br />

Anyway these a few bits I picked up in London last week, I got some great deals in the sale so I thought I'd share.<br />

</tbody></table>The deal of the day was the Laura Mercier set in the Selfridges sale. It contains one full size tinted moisturiser, one smaller and a foundation primer. All for £21! I also picked up a few Bourjois items as they were 3 for 2 in Superdrug (more photos below). With my £5 Body Shop voucher from In Style magazine I got a mini satsuma body butter, I thought it would be great to take on holiday. The toothpaste is a bit of a boring one to include, but it apparently whitens teeth by one shade in one week. I was a bit skeptical when I saw the ad for this, but it was half price so I thought it was worth a shot. I've been using it for over a week now and can't say I've noticed a difference really, but who knows what constitutes 'one shade' of whiteness? Has anyone else tried it out and noticed a difference? The last items were some body scrubs from the Boots Extracts range.<br />
<br />
So the Bourjois items...<br />
<br />

I hadn't noticed this product before or seen any reviews of it. It's a highlighter product, and I'm still not sure on this. When you swatch it with your finger you get a nice pink toned highlight but if you apply it with a brush it just translates on to the skin as glitter, not a great look! Has anyone tried this?<br />

This product is far more talked about. I bought it as I'd heard numerous youtubers talking about it as a 'matte' bronzer. I saw it in the store and picked it up without looking at it really. This turned out to be a bad idea. It is certainly not what I would call matte, it quite clearly has glitter in it as you can see in the photo. It also says on the packaging, really should have read that! Does anyone know if there is another shade of this that is matte? I'm pretty sure I've heard many people calling it a matte bronzer, so I was pretty disappointed when I got home and tried it.<br />

These scrubs are a great product, that I'd urge anyone to try. They're reasonably priced (£7.99) for the size, and are the best scrub I've tried. They're really thick and 'proper' sugar scrubs, not watery at all. they leave your skin feeling smooth and moisturised, smell delicious and last ages.<br />

Just a closer look at the Laura Mercier set. I've only used it a couple of times and I'm liking it so far. It has great coverage for a tinted moisturiser yet still feels light.<br />
<br />

This was another great deal. £10.50 in the Debenhams sale online, I'd never tried a Guerlain lipstick before this as the price always out me off. For more details on this lipstick visit this <a href="http://makeupconfidential.blogspot.com/2011/06/high-end-lipsticks.html">post</a>.<br />

Thanks for reading, that seemed pretty long for a haul, hope you weren't bored. I'm going to get back to blogging more frequently now that I'm back in London with fast internet!. Hope you're all well :)<br />

It is quite shocking to actually see the figure! Although I do buy most things when they're on offer so I'd like to think it's a bit less (hopefully!), and some things were gifts. I do change products most days, so I dread to think the cost when I'm using a more expensive lipstick or mascara!<br />

The first is YSL Rouge Volupte Perle in Coral Sun number 102. These lipsticks have very luxurious packaging as do most of YSL's products. The lipstick has a very silky texture and glides on the lips easily however this is also its downfall. As easy as it glides on it also glides off in no time, one drink and this is completely gone. I still love this lipstick as it feels great on the lips has a fruity sent and the colour is fantastic. I choose this as I had no other coral lipsticks. In real life it's a brighter more orange coral than is showing up in the photo. I purchase mine from <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Yves+Saint+Laurent+Rouge+Volupte+Perle/142467265,default,pd.html?cgid=1001">House of Fraser</a>.<br />

This is Estee Lauder's Pure Colour lipstick in Wild Blossom. this lipstick also has great packaging but it does feel a lot lighter and more plastic than YSL's, but it quite a bit cheaper. I love the shade of this lipstick and the finish it gives. It's a very creamy consistency and is a perfect peach colour. It is also the most pigmented and long lasting out of the collection.

My third one is Chanel's Rouge Allure in Mythic number 69. This is my favourite packaging of any lipstick, it's very chic and timeless. The colour is a nude, but not 'concealer lips' sort of nude. It has a slight hint of rose in the scent and goes on like satin. This is fairly long lasting and a colour you can put on with almost any look and without great precision. It is my favourite one and I'm definitely considering trying out other Chanel lipsticks. I purchased this at <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Brand-rooms/Luxury/CHANEL/Makeup/Lips/ROUGE-ALLURE-Luminous-Satin-Lip-Colour_437-73004626-ROUGEALLURE/">Selfridges</a>.<br />

The final one and my newest purchase is the Guerlain Kiss Kiss Strauss Lipstick. I bought this in the <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_123382796399_-1?breadcrumb=Home~Sale~Beauty~Make+up~Lips">Debenhams</a> sale online for only £10.50, which is still quite a lot but not compared to the usually price tag of £21. I have only had this for about 2 days so can't really give a review. The colour is very sheer, the photos above are after a few layers.However I do like the consistency, scent and finish. The packaging is again great but also feels a lot lighter than the YSL one and very plastic.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also have two mini high end lipsticks which I got in an amazing advent calendar my boyfriend bought me last year from Selfridges. It had a mini luxurious sample behind each door, it was the perfect gift for beauty lovers.<br />
<br />

<br />
The first is YSL Rouge Pure Shine, in shade 10 I think (it has worn off a bit). The second is Lancome's L'absolu Rouge in shade 06. They are both really cute sizes and perfect to take in a clutch back for a night out. The YSL is very similar to the Rouge Volupte Perle but with a shiner finish. The Lancome one has great pigmentation and a creamy texture similar to the Estee Lauder one.<br />

I don't really know how useful these swatches are, but I really couldn't get a decent photo of them on the back of my hand. From top to bottom they are Estee Lauder, YSL, Chanel, Guerlain, mini YSL and finally mini Lancome.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for reading. Please give me your opinions on high end lipsticks, are they worth the splurge? And how many do you own?<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">This is my current bag of choice, I've only had it for about a week. It's from Zara, the basic range, and was £39.99. I really like the colours and the style of bag, I think it looks quite Mulberry esque and more expensive than it was. Excuse the bad blurring, I'm not great on photoshop, but I didn't think my neighbours would appreciate being in the shot! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh7_4Sat8yZ09zFGdUy_rMqJg8LeTseB14e1C3QTzPPs3IURZ740S5J37YhuOj4MuHI0JXNkOPi2S9TKpOvIh6xl6SGzbfXSvxFEQEgeJmixI3dY0Ym0hrC_3JdAZzrwDRs2y0Br6GWh8/s1600/Blog+Bag+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh7_4Sat8yZ09zFGdUy_rMqJg8LeTseB14e1C3QTzPPs3IURZ740S5J37YhuOj4MuHI0JXNkOPi2S9TKpOvIh6xl6SGzbfXSvxFEQEgeJmixI3dY0Ym0hrC_3JdAZzrwDRs2y0Br6GWh8/s400/Blog+Bag+2.jpg" width="317" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">It also comes with a detachable should strap as shown above. The inside is a brown cotton fabric with a large pocket on one side and one small closable pocked on the other with card holders next to it. Anyway on to the purpose of this post - the contents...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1tEap0n9jE8eOYvGOa7lE9rJcv8Vzfjwpf05INv4dUBugZLZLfvzV8dgRR1K1li_xqPsEGjZl0oc0irN9Dj4Xn28N5InFeXwYRjIWzq87KTjZQ7hGYNU-sdBwNUemOaXw0Jyy8pnK9CM/s1600/Bag+Blog3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1tEap0n9jE8eOYvGOa7lE9rJcv8Vzfjwpf05INv4dUBugZLZLfvzV8dgRR1K1li_xqPsEGjZl0oc0irN9Dj4Xn28N5InFeXwYRjIWzq87KTjZQ7hGYNU-sdBwNUemOaXw0Jyy8pnK9CM/s640/Bag+Blog3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">As I've only had the bag for a week or so it hasn't become too clustered yet! I have the basics things - phone, purse, keys, oyster card and some others. I know the brush I carry is for backcombing but it's much smaller and lighter than my other brushes so is easier to carry around. I have the latest copy on In Style magazine which I picked up today as it has a free £5 Body Shop gift card which the lovely Claudia told me about (if you haven't seen her <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TheClaudiaCouture?feature=mhum">videos</a> of <a href="http://theclaudiacouture.blogspot.com/">blog</a> do check them out). I also have a notebook from <a href="http://www.paperchase.co.uk/notebooks/posy-floral-a7-bound-notebook/invt/00483445/">paperchase</a> for endless lists and ideas for my blog. Some boring things - a hair tie, painkillers, chewing gum, hand cream and sanitiser. On the left you can see my <a href="http://www.denmanbrush.com/acatalog/Denman-Mini-Keyring.html#aKEYRING1">mini Denman brush</a> which I thought was so cute I had to purchase, attached to that is my Tesco clubcard (glamorous!) and Starbucks card. On to the best bits, I have two perfume samples, a mascara sample and so far only 4 lip products (I tend to build up a stash in my handbag over time). There are more shots of those below.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRwGPiX4GN0bs7fn-ORShvwypIDAEFFUR_Xak3kIjaWd0qplg8xx2rWKURKSDltvhBSCgfmNh6v59M1Y54AwERtFx3BtIfPRkZR6D9PQ9OYwz3aSEqnDGySqfLmbN-GyJ3M_x02ITggAI/s1600/Blog+Bag+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRwGPiX4GN0bs7fn-ORShvwypIDAEFFUR_Xak3kIjaWd0qplg8xx2rWKURKSDltvhBSCgfmNh6v59M1Y54AwERtFx3BtIfPRkZR6D9PQ9OYwz3aSEqnDGySqfLmbN-GyJ3M_x02ITggAI/s400/Blog+Bag+4.jpg" width="386" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">My purse is Mulberry and I got it on Bicester Village outlet last year. It's a muted pink leather with gold hardware. I am quite disappointed the gold is wearing off already after only about a year of use, I was hoping and expecting it would last a few years, but nonetheless it still does the job and I like it.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR_p3h-LHG5MsCunOCEI-yp0tOCfsg3MgoSQ6HWRS0qrSZGAIGXfScP7DQtcBO61SnC6GyRmnsjzvlTrtHqI1SoAwpvvzmi-dbKoQljfJGph32QwaVWd78ow48uWzQTQIbMly63euhjdY/s1600/Blog+bag+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR_p3h-LHG5MsCunOCEI-yp0tOCfsg3MgoSQ6HWRS0qrSZGAIGXfScP7DQtcBO61SnC6GyRmnsjzvlTrtHqI1SoAwpvvzmi-dbKoQljfJGph32QwaVWd78ow48uWzQTQIbMly63euhjdY/s640/Blog+bag+5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So onto the beauty things. I didn't have much with me today, I usually carry a foundation and powder too. I like to carry the perfume samples as they're so much lighter. I have the Gucci Guilty and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle sample, I do have the full size Gucci but not Chanel - I'm still deciding if I really like it or not. Then I have a Barry M Lipgloss that was in one of the Impulse sets. I have the Maybelline colour sensation lipstick in 109 Rosy Dream (shown in my last post). A No7 lipstick in Nude Rebellion - which came out last year some time as part of a limited edition collection, it's a nice matte nude colour which I don't find drying at all unlike some other matte lipsticks, I hope they bring it our again sometime. The final is a Mac lipstick in Fresh Salmon, I bought this in SparklemissA's blog sale last year (visit her <a href="http://craftylittlelipstick.blogspot.com/">blog</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/SparklemissA">youtube</a> if you haven't already, she's great too). Finally I have a miniature Lancome Hypnose mascara which I got in a gift set at Christmas. So that's the very exciting contents of my bag! It seems strange writing this as it seems so dull to me, but I love seeing other people's so hopefully this will be interesting for some of you! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I went to pick up Glamour magazine as I read on twitter last night they were doing the Benefit freebies again (I do love freebies!). I also got a few other things....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd1Eg-CSBpZmG9Vwn_tFjyU4rzdFmzuaP5WSfucq_xzX7B4R3DmsCPulV8X8tMk7-MkECSJv5FumIRLjgPns-KpHZUtaKg8tt3kzOAGvILbBc4nAvE_B7pgKqb4YEC-d2U8QZhE1DIzFE/s1600/Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd1Eg-CSBpZmG9Vwn_tFjyU4rzdFmzuaP5WSfucq_xzX7B4R3DmsCPulV8X8tMk7-MkECSJv5FumIRLjgPns-KpHZUtaKg8tt3kzOAGvILbBc4nAvE_B7pgKqb4YEC-d2U8QZhE1DIzFE/s640/Cover.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
1 - <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/gp/product/B000JJJAGW/ref=sr_11_1/277-4678343-5963653?ie=UTF8&bcBrand=core&nodeID=">High Beam</a> (4ml), a miniature of the 'luminescent complexion enhancer', one of the free gifts with this months <a href="http://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/">Glamour</a> (only £2!).<br />
<br />
2 - <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/gp/product/B0015YFJ4W/ref=sr_11_1/277-4678343-5963653?ie=UTF8&bcBrand=core&nodeID=">Posie Tint</a> (4ml), another miniature of the 'poppy-pink tinted lip & cheek stain', again free with Glamour. I haven't done any swatches of these as I'm sure there are plenty around, and I haven't properly tried them out yet. The other option is the Bene Tint, but I have a similar tint to this already so didn't pick it up.<br />
<br />
3 - Maybelline Colour Sensation Lipstick in 109 Rosy Dream - swatches below. This is one of the new colours that have been released. Currently on offer for £5.19 in <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/lip-stick/maybelline-colour-sensation-in-pink-brown/invt/222168/&bklist=">Superdrug</a>.<br />
<br />

I think it's a great piece for summer, and perfect to wear over plain vests or t-shirts.<br />
<br />
5 - <a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33053&storeId=12552&productId=2411704&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=291042&parent_categoryId=&pageSize=20&refinements=category~[291043|291042]^category~[291061|291043]&noOfRefinements=2">Turquoise and gold ring</a> (more expensive online than in store for some reason) - Also from Dorothy Perkins, reduced from £8.50 to £2 (you can see I don't like pay full price for things!), again this is perfect for summer. I seems to be building up a collection of turquoise jewellery.<br />

The lipstick is a milky bubblegum pink colour. The formulation seems to have changed slightly from the older colour sensation lipsticks, maybe a bit of a shinier finish ( I think they are supposed to be Hi-shine if I remember correctly). The packaging has also been made over with a holographic finish. The security tags Superdrug use really annoy me, they're so sticky and almost impossible to remove (it took me nearly the whole of Eastenders to open it!) and leave a horrible residue that somewhat ruins the packaging.<br />
<br />
The lipstick has good pigmentation and is very creamy. There is a hint of glitter which I would prefer not to be there, but I only really noticed this when I swatched it on my hands, it doesn't really translate to the lips.<br />

This is perfect if you like baby/bubblegum pink lipsticks and are looking for a shiny finish.<br />
<br />
Just a quick post today. Thanks for reading, and let me know if you have tried out any of the other new colour sensation lipsticks.<br />

This month <a href="http://www.redonline.co.uk/">Red</a> magazine are giving away a free full size <a href="http://www.jemmakidd.com/">Jemma Kidd</a> lipgloss worth £14 with every issue (priced at £3.80, maybe not completely free). There are three shades available - coral, pink and red. I picked up the 'pink' shade, personally I think it's more of a peachy/nude colour. This is my first item for the Jemma Kidd Make Up School range and I was pleasantly surprised. It was also my first purchase of Red magazine and so far so good, it has some great informative articles on skin care and diet. <br />

The lipgloss is named a 'Hi-Shine Silk Touch Lipgloss' and the shade I have is number 17 Petal. I wouldn't say the lipgloss is particularly Hi-Shine, just a normal level, but is definitely silky and creamy on the lips. The packaging is nothing amazing (plastic and a doe-foot applicator), but does feel sturdy and the lid has the soft rubbery texture of Nars packaging. I was expecting another nude lipgloss similar to the Barry M lipgloss wands, but this is far more pigmented and can be worn alone to give a great peachy/nude shade as shown below (cue embarrassing lip shots).<br />

From the swatches you can see the colour is buildable, the top swatch on each hand is with a few layers and the bottom with one. The actual colour is somewhere in between the two photos, not quite as nude as it appears in the flash photo. I think it's a prefect summer shade and a brilliant lipgloss, I'm definitely tempted to purchase the other two shades too. If you've never tried any Jemma Kidd products either this is the perfect chance to do so.<br />

Another great freebie this month is a full size <a href="http://www.leightondenny.com/product-detail/default.aspx?ProductId=153&ProductCategoryId=4">Leighton Denny</a> nail polish with <a href="http://www.harpersbazaar.co.uk/">Harper's Bazaar</a>. Again there are three shades available - a classic red, bright orange and a nude. I (again) opted for the nude shade, Supermodel, after hearing great reviews on it. <br />
<br />

I have tried some Leighton Denny products before (treatment and a file) but never a coloured polish. The shade is a nice everyday nude/greige colour but is nothing particularly special or unique. The coverage after one coat is wearable but I always prefer to use two. The photos below are of two coats and the Nails Inc Kensington Caviar topcoat.<br />

I would recommend this nail polish, the quality is comparable to that of Nails Inc and OPI, as expected. This is a great way to add a high end polish to your collection if you can't face spending £11 on one (as I often can't!).<br />
