My skin is horrible to care for ... it's dry, it's sensitive, it's everything you don't want your skin to be. It's extremely difficult to find products which aren't drying but at the same time aren't greasy and don't just "sit" on top of your skin. I've only ever had a positive experience with Neutrogena products so I decided to give this a go.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When i was around 15, I was OBSESSED with <i>"eliminating spots"</i> and tried this <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Clearasil-Ultra-Deep-Pore-Treatment-Wash-150ml_867997/#BVRRWidgetID" target="_blank">Clearasil facial wash</a> targeted at people with acne/spots. My bad. After using it twice, my skin was so dry and flaky I had to go to see my GP, where i was prescribed with ointments and moisturisers because i was in so much pain (and my face very much aesthetically unbearable). So if you're like me, I don't recommend it. Since then (and it has been some years since) I have kept my skincare routine to a minimum as I was simply too scared to try anything new.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This has been a major surprise - i love it! I've been using it for 3 weeks now and whilst I can't judge whether it eliminates spots (as i only ever get random breakouts), I can tell you that it doesn't dry my skin and makes it clean and soft. I'm especially impressed with the scrub, it is very gentle with my skin and doesn't cause redness. The facial wash is also pleasant and lathers very nicely, and i can definitely feel that my skin is cleaner after using it. Both the products have an amazing grapefruit scent, that I'm absolutely in love with, it's so refreshing - especially when you're still sleepy in the morning! I will continue using this to see if it makes a bigger difference in my skin in the long run, but so far I'm impressed! And at £5 they won't break the bank either!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am <i>obsessed</i> with white. It's just such a happy and pure colour (albeit sometimes a bit clinical if overdone). It's the most perfect colour for summer besides all the other cheery pastels, stripes, florals and what not, and if fact, probably my favourite to wear with a tan. After summer, white normally slips away into the deep abyss of my forgetfulness, bearing in mind 1)my ghostly pale skin and 2) the horrible weather up here (note to self: Scottish rain and white <i>DO NOT</i> mix well). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been looking around for a white dress to wear casually to work but one that I could also wear out if I wanted to. I really don't feel like my body would physically fit into a tighter, more fitted dress (holidays are cruel), and genuinely prefer a more boxy, t-shirt style fit. I mean you can always cinch it in with a pretty belt later, right? Basically, a boxy fit is: 1)more flattering 2)more comfortable 3)more versatile. </div>

"I'm not going to spend any money this month" I thought in my little head. All my summer shopping down, I thought i wasn't in danger of forking out any money on clothes. Plus being away from home on holiday for most of the month meant that I in fact wasn't in a place where I could spend any money that wasn't meant to spent (i.e this month's pay). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But *drum roll* on comes the ASOS sale! First day back at home, and <i>BEHOLD</i> 70% off! Magic, right? I thought so too. </div>

The post title is relevant to how i feel... with all the rain we've been having up here, you could say i'm 'under the sea'... ANYWAY, I'm majorly in love with everything that's come out this summer! One of the things I've particularly take a liking to are metallics, this could probably interchange with some sort of a UFO theme, but I find i can relate it more to the sea (cue Chanel shell clutches). Also, all the blues just remind me of the seaside, and i'm just hoping I can go somewhere more exotic than Aberdeen as i haven't got much faith in the weather improving in the next couple of weeks. On another note, I wish I could pull all of this seaside-ness off and not look like I've come from another plant!<br />

The Chanel collection has literally made my jaw DROP - the shell clutches, pearl embellished jackets, textured fabrics, metallics ... the list goes on. Notice how the first time looks a bit like coral? The more I look at this collection, the more I'm convinced that Karl Lagerfeld is actually a genius. I'm never normally the person to admire and swoon over everything, if anything there's normally more things I will hate than like, and I never 'follow' fashion for the sake of it, but this is absolutely marvelous! Everything is just so pretty!<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">I'm absolutely in love with the lilac Bluemarine dress, it reminds me of mermaids! Katy Perry has recently attended the Billboard Music Awards wearing it, and she looked absolutely fabulous! You can see some pictures </span><a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/228266/katy_perry_in_pale_violet_blumarine_at_the_billboard_awards_pretty_or_boring/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="text-align: justify;">. Again, you can probably tell how in love I am with glitter nail varnishes, these ones here are absolutely fabulous, and the Mermaid one relates well to the theme haha. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Probably my favourite nail varnish at the moment! This is such a beautiful colour, I'm absolutely loving all those pastel blue hues! When i saw this I was instantly in love, but let me tell you something... THIS IS A PAIN TO APPLY. It's very sheer so you need at least 4 coats, it's time consuming and frustrating when you accidentally touch a nail and have to repaint all over again gaaah. There are some weird pearly purple particles in this but are completely unnoticeable on the nails, and they give a nice sheen. In my experience it lasts a good week on false nails and 4 on real nails, definitely living up the good Barry M standards, as all their nail varnishes are absolutely fabulous! They're only £2.99 which is a huge bonus, can't go wrong with that price tag!<br />
<br />
On the side note, is anyone watching the Euros? I never thought I would enjoy football this much, but i guess it's in my blood! The atmosphere in the house always gets a little tense as we all support different teams but I LOVE IT. Really rooting for Germany to win so can't wait until their next game on Thursday! Should probably refrain from entering the 'extreme fangirl' mode so I don't get too disappointed (the teams i want to win ALWAYS lose). Is anyone else enjoying the Euros as much as me, or are you all fed up of this football malarkey? (most likely the latter haha)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've had this lipstick for a while and never really gave it much attention as my skin is normally too pale for bright colours like this... it looks almost NEON ORANGE in the packaging and when applied from the bullet it's a little less scary but still very bright. Personally I prefer it with a clear lipgloss over the top to sort of neutralise the brightness of the colour. I absolutely love corals so this will be perfect in the coming summer months! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">What I like about the </span><i style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks</i><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"> is that they don't dry my lips. I find that many lipsticks emphasise the dryness and generally don't look very nice, but the moisturising formula works very well for me. The lipstick has average staying on power, just like any other lipstick, but re-applying doesn't bother me granted the lipstick is a nice colour. I can't stress how good the formula is and I'm hopefully going to get more of these in the near future, and at £6.29 a pop it's not exactly going to break the bank! </span><br />

</justify>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Genuinely been dying to share this with you! I think deep down i was always a fan of that little "bling" on the nails (though too ashamed to admit it) but I've seen so many people wearing glitter nail polish I think it's a bit acceptable now. I especially love this combination because of the nude-like polish underneath, it definitely makes the glitter stand out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">The nude polish is from Inglot, and if they have a counter near you I command you to buy some Inglot polishes. So amazing. I think they're around £8 here, so not TOO bad for a nail polish but i normally tend to stay around the £5 mark. Let me tell you something, i have NEVER come across a nail polish that doesn't chip for 5+ days, but this stuff is really great. Another advantage is you get 15ml of product, a nice big bottle that will last you for a lifetime. </span></div>
<br />
<center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Anyway the other polish is the glitter one by Miss Sporty, which was super cheap (£1.99) and i'm so surprised by the quality. There's bigger bits of purple and blue glitter, and finer bits of silver glitter - so sparkly! The coloured glitter isn't very flashy so it's not too "out there" and tacky. One coat of the polish is enough (I'm wearing two in the picture) so if you think about it, you're getting a lot of product for £1.99!</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><br />

I love it and hate it at the same time. I adore having time to spend with my family, as we don't normally have much time to get together. I can relax and hang around in my pyjamas all day and not do anything. On the other hand, the run up to Christmas drives me nuts - last minute shopping in crowded shopping centres, crazy errands and personal work on top of that. I still get disappointed every year that Christmas is just one single day - it's over before you notice! </span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was lucky enough to get quite a peaceful Christmas this year and to spend it with my closest family. I finished my shopping surprisingly early which is very unusual for me. Anyway, all I wanted to show you is some things that I got from my family. Since I'm saving up to get a new Mac, I got very little apart from money - but I find that it's the little things that make me happy! Where's the excitement in opening a boring envelope?! </span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

As pathetic an excuse as it may be I was busy with my exams, then I went on holiday and here I am! At first I was really confident about my exams but now I'm really unsure and genuinely dreading getting my results on the 4th of August. </center></center><center><br />
</center><center>Decided to do one of these what's in my bag posts because I always see them, and I actually find it quite interesting to see what people carry in their bags! I wouldn't say that i carry an insane amount of stuff around with me, because frankly my shoulders get really sore after about 2 minutes. For me it's only the necessities really!<br />

I said goodbye to my light locks and went dark! I genuinely wasn't planning on having it this colour (actually the photos don't show the colour well, it's a pinky red). I'm getting it re-dyed tomorrow because I had no intention in having it so bright, I was thinking more like a muted brown... <br />

On the side not the Maybelline Colossal 100% Black Mascara is absolutely brilliant, it volumized my lashes and lengthens them. So happy with this one! I know I have blogged very little, if at all, in the past 2 months but I have been extremely busy in the run-up to my exams which begin at the end of April. I'm literally so stressed out and there's so much pressure to do well. I hardly have any time for myself and shop therefore a lack of post, yes I know, typical excuses of a blogger. <br />
<br />

In fact, I was quite disappointed because most of the shops were about the same size as we have back in Aberdeen. Of course the highlight of my trip was going into Harvey Nichols and having a look at the MAC counter. I was also really tempted by <i>Smashbox at Debenhams</i>, but I didn't see anything that caught my eye so I didn't buy anything( I was also discouraged by the prices - they seemed slightly ridiculous to me!). <br />
<br />
I only bought 3 things at MAC, 2 were blushes and the other one was a foundation (Face&Body, as I heard many good things about it, I'm just scared that it might break me out horribly). I was actually planning to buy the "Breath of Plum" blush but after the MUA put it on me it seemed <i>FAR TOO DARK</i> on my pale skin (it might've been the lighting). I also wanted a red l/s but I looked unbelievably stupid so no red lippy for me! So in the end I ended up with these two beauties. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/23/macblushes.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<b>MAC PINCH O' PEACH BLUSH ( sheertone)</b><br />
<br />
MAC says: A wash of warm peachy hue<br />
<br />
<img src="http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/2302/pinchopeach.jpg" /><br />
<br />
In my opinion this is more <i>pink </i>than peachy, it looks light peachy pink colour in the pan and gives me a lovely flush on my cheeks however, it looks as if im actually blushing and I don't know why but I never liked blushing. I do like it because it actually suits my skintone and I'm happy that it was suggested by the MUA.<br />
<br />
<b>MAC MELBA BLUSH (matte)</b><br />
<br />
MAC says: Soft coral-peach.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/7057/melba.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I wouldn't say this is so much of a coral, because I don't see the pink undertone. It belongs in the light category and is obviously <i>peachy</i>. I love this because it looks so natural on my NW15 complexion and there's no shimmer and that's <i>exactly </i> what I was looking for. On the website, they make out as if its a really dark colour (second row down) whereas in real life its relatively light to what I expected it to be. I think this would be perfect for people upto warm olive skintone. I think that the Cremeblush alternative for this would be Lilicent - It's sooo lovely but they didn't have any in stock and I was sooo gutted! <br />
<br />
Next time I'll be looking into Cremeblushes ♥ Any recommendations? <br />

In reality, I first ombre'd my hair in November, i think. Since I haven't posted an awful lot since then I didn't get a chance to tell you.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/1617/image1102.jpg" /> <br />
<br />
This is after I have literally re-ombre'd it about 2 days ago- Excuse the bare face, awful "posing" and the crapola quality. It was the best way of showing y'all! I think you can see that my hair gradually gets lighter ...<br />
<br />
Ombre is easy-peasy to do, all you need is a little hair lightener (or darker dye than your hair colour if you like) and just slap it on the ends, wait depending of what colour intensity you want to achieve and voila! I use the <i>L'Oreal Perfect Blonde Highlighting Kit</i>, I don't think it's particularly expensive and you can get it at most drugstores.<br />

It's obvious that your ends will become damaged and split ends are one the not-so-nice effects, this is why i was forced to trim my hair a little and re-ombre. I also need to remember to condition my hair thoroughly and pay special attention to my ends! <br />
<br />
I don't think I'm going to channel this ombre look forever, next time I plan on going a bit darker (which might be a bit tricky considering that the last time I went dark brown I got told that I "look ill" - downright rude!) but I was thinking of dying it <a href="http://www.hairstyles.amild.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/cheryl-cole-curly-hair.jpg">Cheryl Cole</a> colour before she dyed it red. So I was thinking like warm chocolate brown with honey highlights? Sounds yummy doesn't it ;)<br />
<br />
As I have said before I plan on blogging wayy more because in fact I really enjoy it! It's a way of reaching out to people and a way to get more creative with my photos! In general, I just really like blogging! <br />

Nail Paints post! Here it is. I was majorly convinced that I have so many of those - I only have 7! I have plenty of nail narnish so I might do another post on my favourite colours perhaps? I will have a think about it! <br />
<br />

L - R<br />
<br />
• 305- Pink Flamingo, this is like a hot pink colour but it's got a hint of coral so it's not JUST plain pink. I absolutely love it, my bottle's half empty - way to show the love! You only need 2 coats to get absolutely opaque!<br />
<br />
• 308- Berry Ice Cream, this is lovely soft PURE lilac! No grey undertones or anything. 2 coats is just enough :)<br />
<br />
• 303- Bright Purple, I wouldn't call this "Bright Purple" its more like a mulberry colour to me. It looks really purple in the bottle but once you put it on it's like a different colour - i usually apply 3 coats of this<br />
<br />
I do looove Barry M nail varnishes, they dry quite quick and aren't streaky. The quality is brill and it isn't reflected in the price as it's only around £3 a bootle! <br />
<br />
On the side note, I plan to get a new camera - I can't quite decide what I want. I want a DSLR but there's so many to choose from. I haven't got a lot of money to spend so I was thinking of getting the Nikon D60. It's a bit aged but it'd be JUST RIGHT for a beginner like me! Also I plan on writing a post about "Confidence" but I'm not sure if I'll go ahead with it. <br />

Hope you all had a great weekend♥<br />

I had to change my post title font because for some reason my fancy one just stopped working - little bugger! It took me absolutely ages to change the html coding (i'm a bit technically challenged) but i finally managed it.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year everyone ;) I'm aware that i'm a little late - you know what they say? Better late than never! <br />
<br />
I decided to write about Barry M Nail Paints - I thought i had a VAST collection, only to turn out i had like 8. Hah. I still decided to split it into two posts because i don't want to be like a nail varnish troll. Stay tuned for the next part and FOTD's - who knows maybe i'll venture out into doing OOTD's (I really dont like using these terms they feel funny to say) but not entirely sure about that yet. <br />
<br />

<br />
L-R:<br />
<br />
•272- Shocking Pink, it's opaque after apply 1 coat! Bright alert with this one!<br />
<br />
•313- Dusky Mauve, supposedly a dupe for Chanel's Paradoxal. It's a bit dark, and there aren't as many purple particles as in Paradoxal but I guess it's good enough for a dupe. You have to apply 2/3 coats to get it completely opaque.<br />
<br />
•217-This has no name, i think it might've been a L.E edition item. Mmmmm, this reminds me of peacocks - it's kind of blue with green particles. It also contains silver glitter which I'm not too fond of but considering it's not that visable once it's on the nails it's okay :) I usually need to apply 3 coats.<br />
<br />
•295- Pure Turquoise, I actually love this - it's so lovely. It's actually what the name says! I normally need 2 coats<br />
<br />
It's a bit hit or miss with Barry M nail varnishes - some chip quickly and some stay on for ages but I can't complain because at around £3 the price is competetive and the choice is wide - you can BEYOND every colour of the rainbow. <br />
<br />
On the side, I got quite good marks in my prelim exams so I'm a happy bunny! Christmas was better that I initially expected so that's another reason to be happy. Just hoping 2011 won't bring major disappointments for me!<br />
<br />

I haven't written in what feels like an age. Justification? Well i was busy "preparing" for my exams (i wasn't really) but i had no inspiration whatsoever. I only have one exam to go- German listening. Considering that I didn't even need a dictionary for the reading I think I'll be okay! :D This is not going to be a long post, i haven't bought anything worth reviewing/writing about so yeah.<br />
<br />
<b>HOWEVER </b>I did go to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on the day that it came out. It is amazing. As a fan of the H.P books (big fan) i think that the film did the book justice, unlike the Half Blood Prince film which was awful in my opinion. <br />
<br />
Today I had a lazy, stay-in day as I had a day off school so I devoted my spare time to reading H.P again. It's snowed a bit, and put me off leaving the house. I must admit (to my shame) that I haven't read a book for a while, and this encouraged me to start again. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5325/dsc00112small0.jpg" /><br />
<br />
This is all i did today- painted my nails (Mystic Mauve, for any of those who are interested- supposedly a dupe for Chanel's Paradoxal) and READ READ READ. <br />
<br />
<br />
What have you been enjoying lately? ♥<br />

I have a love and hate relatioship with it, but as long as you look properly there is always something for everyone. They have so many cute jumpers in just now and they're comparable to Topshop or other more expensive high-end shops. I looove oversized jumpers, while I am normally a regular UK size 8, when I want something oversized I go for Size 14. <br />
<br />
Topshop has a sale on just now, and I managed to bag some things I've been wanting to buy. The sailor skirt, I ALMOST bought about a week ago but they didn't have my size so I gave up. However my size came up in the sale ♥ <br />

* Topshop navy sailor skirt (preciously £30), down to £18<br />
* Topshop top/dress ( i will wear as a dress ) previously £12, now £8<br />
* Primark nude pink thick woolen jumper (sooo cosy!) £11<br />
* Primark PVC lace up pumps, cute floral interior, £8<br />
* Primark Navy floral bodycon dress (looks so shapeless, but lovely on) £13<br />
<br />
I also picked up some jewellery but I'll dedicate a whole new post to that ♥ <br />

The colour that I was most interested in (amongst others) was Pink Blush which is a lovely blue toned pink (kind of reminds me of the Lady Gaga lippie but slightly darker). It was nearly sold out at my local Boots so I'm chuffed I managed to pick up the second last one or so. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2659/dscn4246v.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/8213/dscn4250z.jpg" /><br />
L-R : Swatched heavily, swatched lightly<br />
<img src="http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/4202/dscn4251f.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I didn't find this lipstick either drying or moisturing. It's not matte, it's not pearly. It has some shimmer in it (can be seen in some lighting) but when on the lips the shimmer is gone. So we could say it's technically matte. It lasts quite a fair bit as well - I put it on before napping during the day and 4hrs late I woke and it was still there. Considering that I twist and turn like mad when I sleep this it pretty damn good! <br />
The colour is wearable for the day as well as night because you can either wear it more sheer and build it up for a bold statement lip. <br />
<br />
I think that for £3.99 you can't go wrong with this little beauty. <br />

Basically I want to show you my favourite rings, I absolutely adore jewelerry and I have heaps of it so selecting just a few rings was a bit of a challenge.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Boredom had kicked in, altough its Friday after an exhausting week I can never be bothered to actually go out, so I just sit at home doing nothing. I should probably start revising for my prelims but I can never focus and I get a lot of homework everyday so I never have time. They've put them forward this year which means that I'll have to do them at the beginning of November and I'm s<b>****</b>ing myself!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I thought I would just post swatches of <b>The Body Shop Shimmer Waves</b>. I got these about 2 weeks about, because I thought this was a bit subtler than using one-coloured bronzer and it has a highlight to it. It pretty much reminds me of the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, that I never bought because of the whopping price (over £30, I don't think so!). This is £16, and I had a voucher and paid £11 which I thought was quite bargainous for the amout you get! I got the <b>01 Bronze</b> shade, unfortunately there was only 2 shades to choose from the other one being like a mix of pinks which I didn't really like. Actually I can't say that I didn't like it, because I didn't even swatch it, but the look of it wasn't too pleasing. Anyway here's the swatches for you!</div><br />
<img src="http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/2631/101msdcf.jpg" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Personally I really like it, but it is a matter of personal taste. It's wearable and suitable for daily wear when you haven't got a lot of time - it's crucial for me somedays when I haven't got as much time to do my make up in the morning. They do stay on for a reasonable amount of time, what you would expect from this type of product, I only ever tried this on top of foundation and it didn't settle into pores or anything so it's a <b>YAY </b>for me! It's also makeup bag friendly, it's a compact, won't crack and you get bronzer highlighter and blusher! So you do get a hell of a good deal for £16... I like how these could be used as eyeshadows, I've never tried it but I reckon that they would be okay to use on eyelids.</div><br />
<b>That's it for now, but you'll probably hear from me soon!</b><br />

They're pretty expensive glosses at £14 each so I was quite reluctant to make this purchase, but seeing as you get 15mls of product it isn’t too bad value (considering that you get about 5ml in Lipglasses which are about the same price). Looking it up on Debenhams' website, only 11 shades are available, however I believe that more are sold in store e.g. at Boots. They also release limited edition colours which are always lovely, however might be a bit odd sometimes - like apple green or turquoise! Still look pretty cool though... </span></center><center> <br />
<img src="http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/1006/dscn2970h.jpg" /> <br />
<br />
At the moment I own 2 of these - no.19 Lychee (one of the most popular shades) and no. 26 Sans Tabou which is now discontinued, I think... Lychee is a hot pink shade with silver/blue/violet shimmer and smells of strawberry/bubblegum whereas Sans Tabou is a lilac with silver/purple shimmer, it looks pretty scary in the tube but looks lovely on the lips, it smells divine but I can’t really identify what it smells of!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/5461/juicytubes.jpg" /> <br />
<br />
<img src="http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/6921/dscn2982.jpg" /> <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">They offer a lacquered effect, with shimmer which is multi-dimensional so isn't flat and boring and are okay moisture-wise but I wouldn’t say that their purpose is being moisturising. I have found that some particles of the glitter stay behind on the lips when the gloss is gone and it looks a bit tacky.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><br />
</center><center><br />
</center><center>I think that these are just like any other glosses, and possibly even stickier. But what I love about them is the every Juicy Tube has a unique, fruity scent ♥<br />
<br />
<br />
<b> Would I repurchase?</b> At £14 a pop, they’re not the cheapest glosses around, especially seeing as there’s nothing unique about them except the delightful, mouth watering scent but I think that there are some cheaper glosses that smell of fruit. <br />

they add a sophisticated and fashionable touch to any, even the most simple outfit. I wore mine (exactly the same as in the photo) to a gig with a black bodycon skirt, white vest and a light denim shirt. One thing, you need to be careful and pick not a very exposing outfit otherwise you might end up a bit tarty instead of sophisticated... haaa.<br />

<b>Mac e/s in Carbon</b>,<br />
Well what can I say, it is an eyeshadow that every girl should have in her make-up collection. It is so versatile (as the name suggests, its carbon black in a matte finish) and recently, I have been using it in the corners of my eyes and along the lower-lashline instead of eyeliner. <br />
<br />
<b>Carmex</b><br />

What a little gem this it! - Life saver! I swear that I applied this once, and my chapped lips were put in the past! So, for me this is a total re-purchase item, even though it smells a bit funny I will keep on using it because it's the best lipbalm I ever had :) I'm just waiting for winter to see it's ability to work then ... <br />
<br />
<b>Edinburgh</b><br />
I love it so much! I could literally live there.. Me and my friend are planning a little day trip to Edinburgh soon so be prepared for some serious Edinburgh-Haul. CAN'T WAIT :D<br />
<br />
<b>Skins</b><br />
<img src="http://www.hecklerspray.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/skins.jpg" /><br />
I have been so obsessed with it, and I watched the whole Series 1 in two nights. I love the original cast and the newest generation looks kind of crappy if you ask me. Series 4 wasn't too good either and it was a HUGE disappointment. I don't really have a favourite character but I do love Chris - such a shame that he dies :( Anyone who has seen Skins but not Series 1+2 needs to do it! NOW! And I would recommend it anyone in general... <br />

<b>The end of Summer!</b><br />
It's definitely gone far too fast, you don't notice the days go by... I'm going to be so out of place at school.<br />
<br />
<b>School Shopping</b><br />
Since school-uniform is compulsory at my school, before going back I need to buy lots of new stuff - shirts, jumpers, tights, skirts. It's such a pain and you can never find the things that are half-decent and that you like.<br />
<br />
<b>New Look</b><br />
Have you noticed they put their prices up and now they all have the annoying 99p ending? E.g £19,99 - I mean seriously , I don't need anymore 1p change, thanks . <br />
<br />
<b>Rude Men</b><br />
I just can't stand it when some weirdos wolf-whistle at you and toot their horn at you. Inappropriate and also gets on my nerves so much. Is it only me? <br />
<br />
Well i hope you enjoyed this little post and I'll be back with with some reviews and general ramble! :D <br />

If you're ever there, check out Essence (Ireland gets it but unluckily the rest of thhe UK doesn't ?!) and Manhattan. They're both really cheap brands but i love some of their products as they're real bargains! Here's the things I got on my recent trip that ARE worth mentioning! :D </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

^ I thought this was everything, but me being me it wasn't. Hahaha. <br />
<br />
<b>Back-Front : </b><br />
<br />
•<b>2 Kamill handcreams</b>- one for sensitive skin (fragrance free) and another one regular both contain camomile which makes them that bit special. I always buy these and I cannot stand any other hand cream (with Soap&Glory's Hand Food being the only exception)<br />
<br />
•<b>2 Bebe Deodorants</b> (yes, i buy deodorants on holiday) - these just smell so lovely like fruit and theyre also 150ml which means that they last longer than the ordinary 'Impulses' that I get in the UK. Lovelovelove them ♥ . <br />
<br />
•<b>Manhattan Intense Moisture and Gloss lipstick in 53K</b> (very much like Estee Lauder's Gloss Sticks) - they are moisturing, glossy lovely colour and a great smell! <br />
<br />
•<b>2 Essence Nail Varnishes</b> in no.27 No More Drama (lilac) and no.22 What Do You Think? (coral)<br />
<br />
•<b>Essence L.E Shimmer Powder</b> in no.1 The Famous Flamingo - lovely highlighter<br />
<br />
•<b>Essence Sun Club Bronzing Powder</b> in no.1 De-Light-Fully Delicious - not too much shimmer - nice sheen! <br />
<br />
•<b>Essence Eyeliner Pen in Black </b>- long lasting, easy to use - what else do you need? <br />
<br />
•<b>2 Bebe Lipbalms</b> - I cannot praise these enough. They smell of roses (actually.) moisture lips so good, last for ages and they're cheap. Lovelovelove ♥ - i always buy these. Kind of remind me of the Nivea ones but I like these much better (probably just childhood sentiment)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">This was obviously NOT all that I got . In the next photo I included all makeup related products (including nail varnish) but I forgot the bronzing powder (however i did swatch it later!)</div><br />

<br />
<b>L-R: </b><br />
<br />
•<b>Essence Nail Varnish Glitter Topper</b> in no.04 Carrie (when tackiness takes over...)its basically just little bits of glitter in different shades of pink. I think it's quite cute but really I'm at the age when I shouldn't be into things like this. Haha. <br />
<br />
•<b>Essence L.E Shimmer Powder</b> (described above)<br />
<br />
•<b>Essence L.E Glitter Eye-Pencil</b> no.02 Undead? (from the Twilight collection, hehe)- i was looking for a glitter eyeliner and this was cheap so i just bought it. <br />
<br />
•<b>Manhattan Intense Moisture and Gloss lipstick</b> (described above)<br />
<br />
•<b>Essence Volume&Gloss Lipgloss</b> in no.04 Bubblegum, it's hot-pink gives you that tingling sensation and actually smells of bubblegum!<br />
<br />
• <b>Manhattan Wake Up Concealer</b> in no.01- it's like Touche Eclat in different packaging and for like 1/20 the price. <br />
<br />
• <b>Essence Nail Varnishes</b> (described above)<br />
<br />
• <b>Essence Eyeliner Pen</b> (described above)<br />
<br />
<b>SWATCH TIME! </b><br />
<img src="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3917/dsc002632.jpg" /><br />
<br />
L-R: Manhattan Wake-Up Concealer, Essence Shimmer Powder, Essence Volume&Gloss Lipgloss (no.04), Essence Glitter Eye Pencil, Essence Bronzing Powder (no.01), Manhattan Intense Moisture and Gloss Lipstick (53K) <br />
<br />
And the nails varnishes. I'm sorry for the horrible nails, they're so short and in awful condition after i decided that I would be sporting fake-nails for ... 4 weeks :|<br />
<br />
<img src="http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/2415/dsc00292ll.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<b>Top-Bottom:</b><br />
<br />
•<b>Essence Glitter Topper no.04</b><br />
•Essence Nail Varnish in no.23 '<b>What Do You Think?</b>'<br />
•Essence Nail Varnish in no.27 '<b>No More Drama</b>' <br />
<br />
I have to say that these stay on for so long, mine stayed on for a full week when i decided to take it off but i barely had any chips! I have also received so many compliments on 'No More Drama' and I think it's UK equivalent would be <i>Barry M Nail Paint in no.np308 'Berry Ice Cream'</i>. It's such a lovely summery pastel colour!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope all of you are having a great time! :D <br />
