I use it, without fail, every day to contour my face. It is the perfect size to get excellent cheekbones. Once I've done the initial cheekbone contour line, I like blending until it is no longer a clear line and this brush does this seamlessly as it is so fluffy. I will then wipe off the excess and apply blush and then highlighter with the same brush.

However, I do really like using it with the Rimmel Scandaleyes Gel Liner. The brush works well with the creamy texture of the gel, and feels very soft on the eye. As I often have irritated eyelids (hey trich!) it is an absolute dream to be able to use a soft brush to apply eyeliner. It is easy enough to do the wings with this brush, but like with any eyeliner, practise makes perfect!

I have been really impressed with this palette so far. The pigmentation is great and the powders are really easy to apply. I pretty much wear these powders on a daily basis! I like to blend the powders in a lot, there is nothing worse than an orange slug on your cheekbones. I have found that I don't use the left top and bottom powders, as the top one is too pink for my skin and the bottom one too dark. I will be able to use the bottom left during the Summer though! Being able to use five out of six powders is a valiant effort in my opinion! Although mine is the light/medium palette, it would easily suit a lot of different skin tones.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nTo use the contour palette, I first prep the skin first with primer, foundation and then concealer under my eyes. I will apply the middle bottom colour on my cheekbones with my Glamher Sculpting Brush to contour my face. I will then warm up the face a little more by using the bottom right powder, with the same brush, around my temples and down to my chin. Using my Real Techniques Setting Brush, I use the top middle powder to highlight my face, popping the powder under my eyes, middle of my forehead and the bridge of my nose. I will then use the top right powder, which has a bit of a sparkle, to highlight on the top of my cheekbones! Et voila, I'm done. This process takes me literally two minutes, I often use the same sculpting brush to put blush on as well to speed up the process even more.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEyeshadow Palette\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nAs an AVID eyeshadow palette collector, I was very interested to try out the Lami eyeshadows. I am pleased to announce that these shadows are super pigmented and last all day. I have been seriously impressed with them. I wore them today, putting them on around 8am and they were just as pigmented at 6pm. I then took my makeup off because it was annoying me... I know they would have lasted much longer though if I had any patience!

I would easily say that they are just as good as MAC eyeshadows. They are also very buttery to the touch and blend easily on the eye. The colour selection is varied, very similar to your standard nude eyeshadow palette. The shadows are all of a shimmer formula, and no matte shadows at all. Not an issue for me, as I have a million eyeshadows, a lot of which are matte, but I can imagine that may be a downfall for some people. I love the copper gold colour and the pink shimmer colours, and there is plenty of choice for crease colours as well. I love playing with eyeshadow looks and I have a lot of fun with this palette.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEye Primer\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nThis is essentially a dupe for MAC paint pots, it is pretty much exactly the same as Soft Ochre. I find these kind of eye primers a little dry, and prefer more liquid primers, but that is my personal preference! The primer is easy to apply, just apply with your fingers and dab and spread it all over your eyelids. I like to take it all the way up to the brow bone. The shadows stick to it and blend really easily, and works well with the Lami eyeshadows. If you want to save yourself a couple of quid, definitely check out this eye primer.

They are a brand new company, based in Leicester, run by couple Fatimah and Mohammed. They are a couple who decided to release a line of products, which make full use of the wonders of natural resources and leaving out chemical ingredients.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\nThe products are all handmade and use natural ingredients, most of which are certified organic, fairtrade and vegan. Due to the beeswax used in some products, they become non-vegan by default. They are not tested on animals and the packaging is recyclable.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\nThe gift set was a pretty little black and white box, made out of the same plastic as the products come in. I really loved the little bow and have even managed to keep it intact! The gift box included: a Cleansing Balm, Face Balm, Body Butter, Body Bar, Eye Balm and Lip Balm.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCleansing Balm\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThis is one of my favourite products out of the set. I use it as a makeup remover in the evening. I only have to take a little bit out of the pot, rub it in all over my face and then wash off with a warm muslin cloth. Easy. It takes off all of my makeup, including waterproof eyeliner. It smells great and leaves my skin feeling really soft. I have a similar Clinique makeup removing balm and they are just as good as each other for taking off makeup, but I think the Natural Potions one leaves the skin feeling more moisturised!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFace Balm\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI use this product as a night cream, and it works really well. It's not sticky at all and very comfortable on the skin. It does take a little while to sink into the skin, but I find that is normal for night creams. I wake up and it has all been absorbed but my skin is left feeling soft. It smells of lavender, which is supposedly supposed to help you fall asleep. I have no idea if that makes much of a difference or not, who knows! It's very thin and easy to apply. I will be very sad when this runs out!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Butter\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThe body butter has a real strong citrus smell to it, mostly orange but there is a hint of mango as well. It instructs you to put it onto damp skin but I have used it on both dry and damp. When it's dry, I find it is a little bit too thick for me as it does take a little while to sink in, but that is purely down to personal preference. I have never been a fan of the Body Shop body butters either! When wet, the product sinks into the skin much quicker and it is much more pleasant for me. It smells lovely on the skin, you can really smell the sweet citrus smell for a long time after applying.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Bar\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThis product is quite something! I wasn't expecting quite so much to come from such little effort. I only had to rub the bar once to have that area covered. I've never used a body bar before, it's been fun trying out this one. Once applied, it does take a little while for the product to sink in. I pop it on before going to sleep/binge watch Jessica Jones and by the time I've woken up, it's completely sinked in and left my skin feeling really soft. Although you can smell the orange in the bar, it's much more subtle than the body butter. It is a little bit more sweet and you can smell hints of lavender in it.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEye Balm\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nHonestly, I am absolutely useless when it comes to eye cream. I couldn't tell you if it worked or not because I just don't know what I'm looking for. It is quite a thin consistency, very moisturising and doesn't have a strong scent. It smells slightly of mango. That's all I got! I find that if I have the face balm on, then there is no need for me to have an eye balm on as well.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLip Balm\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nAnother favourite of mine in this set. It smells GORGEOUS and moisturises my lips really well. It's thick but very comfortable on the lips. It smells of mango and makes me very happy. I have found in the past that lip balms will stop working for me after a couple of weeks, but that hasn't happened with me so far with this lip balm. Let's hope it stays that way!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThat concludes my review of the Natural Potions Gift Set box!

I've really loved all of her products so far and I had never tried a crystal deodorant before!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nWhen it comes to deodorant, I'm usually a Mitchum max strength cream kinda gal. I'm a bit of a sweaty betty and need a decent deodorant. Justyna did tell me that you could use it to sooth cuts as well but I never used it like that. It is also vegan as well! Win win.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nIt's really easy to use, you just run it under the water and then rub it onto moistened skin. I found the easiest way to do this was to put it on straight out of the shower. I really struggle to remember to put it on, which is a pretty big downfall for me. As there is a flight of stairs between my room and the bathroom, I often just opt for a different deodorant.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nIt lasts around 24 hours and it's unscented. It's an antiperspirant as well and works like this for 24 hours, and then I feel like I have to shower, which isn't a massive issue as I do tend to shower daily. #hygienegoals\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nConsidering I'm used to pretty strong deodorant, I am really impressed with this. I have found that I prefer to use scented deodorants and it is a massive faff to have to go to the bathroom to apply deodorant. But apart from the practicalities, it works well as a deodorant and if you want to try a vegan crystal deodorant - I would recommend this one!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://organiquestore.co.uk/products/8071/natural-crystal-deodorant/#.VszWRJOLQ00\" rel\u003d\"nofollow\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003eYou can find it on the Organique website here!\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\nThank you for reading!

I have found I have needed around 4 pumps to get the desired amount for my body. It rubs in easily and you don't really need a thick layer. I have had to be quite conservative with the amount of pumps though, as it does run down quite quickly otherwise.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nIt smells really nice, you can really smell both the lemongrass and grapefruit when applying. I really like pairing it with the Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub, as the two smells compliment each other. It washes off straight away as well and leaves a light scent on the skin.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThe product isn't particularly moisturising, but it doesn't have any soap or sls in so it doesn't strip the skin at all. Although I usually prefer moisturising shower products, this wash has still gone down well with me. I feel clean, but not that 'squeaky clean' feeling where you feel like you've lost a layer of skin. It's very gentle on the skin, it would probably work well for people with sensitive skin (not that I'm an expert on sensitive skin!).\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nLike all of the other Eco by Sonya products, this wash is also certified vegan.

This period is the absolute worst.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI had pulled a lot at the start of October, and they had started to grow in a lot by December but then I had three important essays in for January.

Not only do I not like the look of it, it was also really hard to wear false lashes.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI'm in a bit of a better place now, a month on.

Covering up the area reduces the availability of the hair to be pulled, reducing hair pulling. BUT, it also breaks the cycle of hair pulling. The less hair pulling you do, the better in the long run.

Putting this all over my eyelids when doing work helped so much before Christmas. Now that I have to wear glasses to do work, I no longer need the Castor Oil during the day. It works as a barrier to the lashes/brows, when they're all slippery it's difficult to actually pull a hair out. It's also REALLY annoying to get oil all over your hands, even less of an incentive to pull! On top of that, Castor Oil helps with regrowth of lashes. I put it on before going to sleep most nights as well.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeep your hands busy\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\nSome people use fidget toys, some people knit etc you get the idea. Anything you enjoy doing that keeps your hands busy, get them in your life. Preferably something that needs two hands. For me, watching TV or doing something where I don't really actively have to do anything, are some of the worst times for me to pull. I do need to get a replacement, but at the moment I just play games on my phone. My farm game is definitely my favourite at the moment. Otherwise, I do enjoy liking photos on Instagram. Basically, I use my phone to keep me busy. Although this works a little bit differently, but I really enjoy doing my makeup as a way of keeping my mind off pulling.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eExercise and Healthy Eating\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\nThis goes without saying that it's good for you. By doing exercise, your stress levels are lower, which means that you're less likely to pull. At least, that's the case for me anyway. It is also another activity where you can't pull your hair out. It is win, win, win, win, win. You feel better, you look better, you pull less?

They tend to leave your hair feeling really soft and shiny. However, I never found that there was a distinct smell of Argan Oil which makes me think there wasn't actually that much in them to start off with. Whereas with the Organique products, the smell is really distinct. I recently visited Agadir, Morocco where a lot of the Argan Oil is sourced so I am very familiar with the smell.

This is the order I would buy them in naked 1, naked 2, smoky and then naked 3. That is taking into account the variety of colours and the likelihood of people using it and the colours suiting them.

This has been a bit of a life saviour for me recently. You can make the line quite thick so that it's hardly noticeable that the lashes are all at awkward lengths. My favourite eyeliner product is by far the Benefit They're Real Push-up Liner. It just doesn't budge all day, you even need a proper eye makeup remover to take it off. This is particularly good for us trichsters, if you find yourself pulling in public then you don't have to worry too much about the eyeliner coming off.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nAside from the formula being awesome, the pen itself is really easy to use. You do have to get the hang of it at first but once you do then you will never look back. As for drawing on the line itself, I think this comes down to preference. What I do is draw a line on the lash line and then draw a separate winged line. For the winged line, I follow my bottom lash line for the angle for the winged line. I then connect the two lines together and thicken it a bit. I hope that makes sense. I am no expert on winged liner, that is just what I've learnt over the past couple of months.

You simply pop a generous amount onto your exfoliating glove and apply onto dry skin in circular motions then wash off. I would advise doing this in the shower, before turning on the water. As it is a salt scrub, it isn't a gel like formula and so can flake a little. If you've used salt scrub before, I'm sure you know what I mean!\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\nThe glove worked wonderfully with the scrub. It is a mitten shape with elastic to go around your wrist. It also has a little loop on it so I can hang it up to dry in the shower. I would definitely recommend using a glove with the salt scrub. It is also brown and matches the colour scheme on the scrub, not relevant but a very satisfying touch.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rhvFwDp8t74/VgwMSUpUDCI/AAAAAAAAAxQ/plTtgo4SnYI/s1600/eco%2Bby%2Bsonya%2Bexfoliating%2Bglove.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt\u003d\"Eco by Sonya, Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub Review G Beauty\" border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"223\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rhvFwDp8t74/VgwMSUpUDCI/AAAAAAAAAxQ/plTtgo4SnYI/s400/eco%2Bby%2Bsonya%2Bexfoliating%2Bglove.JPG\" title\u003d\"Eco by Sonya, Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub Review G Beauty\" width\u003d\"400\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\nThe scrub itself went onto my skin really easily.

The purple handles are for eyelids and eyebrows, such as eyeshadows. Lastly, the pink handles are for finishing makeup on the face, for example blushers and highlighters. Although they are supposedly specific, I have seen the Chapman sisters using the brushes for different uses on their videos.

Out of all of the products, I think this gives the most realistic look of brows. You can put on as many layers of the powder on as you want. I've started to put pencil on and then powder on top and I find that is a good way of creating brows. I recommend patting and dabbing your angled brush onto your brows rather than using brush like strokes. Some eyebrow powder sets have a waxy product to pop on your brows first, I love these waxes!

I used to use my Maxfactor eyebrow pencil religiously. When I say religiously, I mean because I had no eyebrows and had no idea about other brow products. I tend to stay away from pencils because my eyebrow area is often quite sensitive and brow pencils can be rough on the skin. However, they are the quickest way of drawing on brows from nothing. The look it gives is good but I find it's quite difficult to put more than one layer of it on. Like I said, I like to put on some powder afterwards. I have also found that pencil can reflect bald patches but I think a bit of brow powder tends to get rid of that shine.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eMy Eyebrow Pencil Recommendations\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.boots.com/en/Max-Factor-Eyebrow-Pencil_1179500/\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003eMaxfactor Eyebrow Pencil\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Paris-Brow-Artiste-eyebrow-Pencil_1323341/\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003eL'Oreal Eyebrow Pencil\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEyebrow Tint\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-748LOVLN0_Q/VcJoNWPylhI/AAAAAAAAAp8/0jvhb1flsBo/s1600/Aqua%2BBrow.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg alt\u003d\"Eyebrow Products for Bald Eyebrows - Trichotillomania\" border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"266\" src\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-748LOVLN0_Q/VcJoNWPylhI/AAAAAAAAAp8/0jvhb1flsBo/s400/Aqua%2BBrow.jpg\" title\u003d\"Eyebrow Products for Bald Eyebrows - Trichotillomania\" width\u003d\"400\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nDespite the name, this tint is not permanent. It's a liquid you pop on and basically paint your eyebrows on. This makes your eyebrows look quite drawn on but it doesn't budge when it's on.

I don't have to keep on layering it on because it's already the colour that I want my brows to be. It's not the most natural way of creating eyebrows but it is my failsafe.

I found the company through Instagram, whether I found them or they found me I can't remember but I have been following them for a few months and following their progress.\u0026nbsp;They post loads of gorgeous pin worthy pictures as well!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nAt the moment, there is just the one lipstick tower on the website and I chose the white version. The tower is £79.99 which may seem steep to all of you. I got my name on the preorder list and didn't know the price at the time. I was able to get £10 off from having my name on the list. I have noticed that there have been a few discount codes, usually around £10 so it is possible to not pay the full £79.99.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI have been looking for adequate makeup storage for a while now but haven't come across much that I've liked until I came across this tower. Don't get me wrong, I think £79.99 is a bit steep for storage but I saw it as an investment. Finding lipsticks are the bane of my life, especially MAC ones and so I took the plunge and spent the money. I am also a terrible impulse buyer, especially during exam periods. Oops.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nLuckily enough, my money has been well spent and I do not regret a single penny.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9SKAz5I-Kio/VYaYzJdihnI/AAAAAAAAAh8/qaYg8v0daCM/s1600/blogger-image-1865280382.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"395\" src\u003d\"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9SKAz5I-Kio/VYaYzJdihnI/AAAAAAAAAh8/qaYg8v0daCM/s400/blogger-image-1865280382.jpg\" width\u003d\"400\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThe tower looks beautiful on my dressing table. The tower itself is much smaller than I thought it was going to be, a definite plus in trying to save space! It has space for 80 lipsticks and I have been able to fit all of my lipsticks in the small compartments (bar one, thank you Kiko!) and I've even managed to fit in my entire lipstick collection! It turns seamlessly, making it easy to choose your lip product. It swivels pretty quickly too, if you're a fan of chairs that swivel then this will make you feel weirdly satisfied.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThe quality of the product itself is good. It is sturdy and I don't feel like it will fall apart. My one niggle with it is that the diamanté band is not completely straight at the joins. It's hardly noticeable but I just wish it wasn't there because I really didn't want to find a fault with it! But on the plus side, the diamanté band reflects light and it makes it look super sparkly when it's spinning!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nAs for the price, I like to support new up and coming businesses and I would rather pay a little extra to help out and to ensure that little bit of extra quality. You never truly know the quality of Amazon products and well, they don't pay taxes in this country. I've loved interacting with the Beauty Stash team on Instagram and I think it's important to support smaller businesses. Who knows, maybe they'll be huge one day!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nLet me know what your thoughts are on this product and if you would consider getting a tower yourself!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nLots of G love xxxxxxxxx"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.gbeauty.co.uk/feeds/7469701684880553742/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID\u003d35921444\u0026postID\u003d7469701684880553742","title":"1 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/35921444/posts/default/7469701684880553742"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/35921444/posts/default/7469701684880553742"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http://www.gbeauty.co.uk/2015/06/lipstick-tower-review.html","title":"Lipstick Tower Review"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Gweni"},"uri":{"$t":"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05387733318364856235"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"35","height":"35","src":"//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JmtiR4CryXo/VYaYxxMA4MI/AAAAAAAAAh0/0DH3gOilePY/s72-c/blogger-image-899706064.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"1"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921444.post-5431848147043874571"},"published":{"$t":"2015-06-03T13:35:00.000+01:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2016-02-12T00:13:45.018Z"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"makeup"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Limited Edition MAC Lipsticks"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TpEJcAB1eTo/VW7wSQ1_yFI/AAAAAAAAAfM/UKF8dlj0Fwo/s1600/mac%2Blimited%2Bedition%2B.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"640\" src\u003d\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TpEJcAB1eTo/VW7wSQ1_yFI/AAAAAAAAAfM/UKF8dlj0Fwo/s640/mac%2Blimited%2Bedition%2B.jpg\" width\u003d\"640\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: large;\"\u003eThought it would be nice to share with you all some swatches of my opinion on some of the 2015 Limited Edition MAC lipsticks.

It is really easy to blend and the staying power is incredible. Although it is not quite as long as Double Wear, it will still easily last you all day. If you are looking for a high coverage foundation, please do check this out. I believe there are different types to suit different skin types as well, an added bonus! It's really easy to manipulate. If I want a dewy look, then I will use my MAC Strobe Cream and MAC Fix Plus spray beforehand and I will get a gorgeous dewy look. If I want a matte look, I can just add powder and it has a wonderful matte finish. Without any products, it just sets a gorgeous satin your-skin-but-better finish.

For £35, this palette really is a bargain in terms of NARS. The palette comes with three blushes, a bronzer, a highlighter and a lipgloss. Unfortunately I haven't had much use out of the lipgloss, but everything else I have been gushing over. Entourage is my favourite blush, it is just a beautiful staple colour for your cheeks. It is a beautiful rosy matte colour which goes with every look under the sun. This blush to me, is the colour that you want your cheeks to look but never know what it would look like in the pan! I am going to do a full review on this product because I love it so much! \u0026nbsp;NARS Albatross and Laguna have already had their praises sung by enough people, but I can definitely say that I am a fan!

I have been using this shower cream for at least the past four years, I honestly don't remember when I started using it. I am not a fan of typical shower gel, as it leaves my skin feeling itchy and slightly dry. So shower cream is the best of both worlds for me. It leaves my skin feeling soft and with a slight sweet but tangy orange smell to my skin.

After some terrible translation with the other passengers, we found what had happened and we continued our journey to Berlin.

We had a bit of trouble navigating our way to the starting point, which led to a lot of rushing around and sore feet.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThe walking tour was so helpful and informative, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Berlin or just a new city. Although I struggled with hearing at some points, I still found out some really interesting facts about Berlin. I had studied and enjoyed History at GCSE and A Level (focusing on communism and the world wars) so I really enjoyed the tour. The tour informed us about some facts about the Berlin Wall and of course, Hitler. Did anyone else know that Hitler was on speed during his time as Chancellor? It blew my mind.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003ctable align\u003d\"center\" cellpadding\u003d\"0\" cellspacing\u003d\"0\" class\u003d\"tr-caption-container\" style\u003d\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2lz1Mz3U5lY/VSaj6cvaQZI/AAAAAAAAARw/BKWHCQTdpUQ/s1600/blogger-image--832898239.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"400\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2lz1Mz3U5lY/VSaj6cvaQZI/AAAAAAAAARw/BKWHCQTdpUQ/s1600/blogger-image--832898239.jpg\" width\u003d\"300\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd class\u003d\"tr-caption\" style\u003d\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003eThe TV Tower\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/tbody\u003e\u003c/table\u003e\nOne really moving part of the tour, and of Berlin, was the Holocaust Memorial. It's a really strange piece of architecture but incredibly powerful. It was designed to symbolise the holocaust. The different sizes of the blocks were to symbolise that all days were different, and the fact that you could easily get lost and lose your friends were to show the loss of identity in a concentration camp and the fact that inmates could never see a fellow inmate again.

We encountered a downpour of rain at this point, not the highest point of the trip. Looking back at it now, the Reichstag is not what I expected.

We ended up really struggling to find the tram back into the centre. There are two systems in Berlin, the U Bahn and the S Bahn. The U Bahn is their underground system, and is really easy to follow. But the S Bahn, a tram system, seemed to be almost impossible to figure out. After a good hour, we found our way back to Alexanderplatz and got ourselves a delicious burrito.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nWe had our burritos in a quirky establishment called Dolores Burrito.

I don't really know why I didn't fancy a wrap, sometimes I am just too lazy for my own good and a fork seemed to be less effort. I also had a strawberry juice which was delicious.

Honestly, I have no idea where the bar crawl took place. Our main girl Ellie took us there and we met up with some fellow Strasbourgians there. The night was a bit of a blur and I managed to not pay for a single drink, even though every time I went to the bar I was fully intending to buy my own. It was a Saturday night so perhaps people were feeling generous! We ended up at a club called the Matrix which was pretty good. Only 10€ entry, which is surprisingly cheap for a Saturday night in a capital city. Again, no complaints from me. We ended up getting back to the hostel around 6am and had a few hours sleep.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: large;\"\u003eSunday\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nDue to a slight lack of sleep, we spent Sunday slightly delirious and laughing a lot.

This was one of my favourite parts of the trip. I really loved walking along and seeing all of the different artwork. There were a lot of meaningful messages, or \"poignant\" as Emily described it, and also a lot of bright colours to look at. There were also a lot of funny messages written on the wall by visiting tourists which were a subject of many of our jokes.

This was really weird when I first bought it, as I had never used a balm makeup remover before. Its super easy to use, you just dip your finger in and swirl it around, as you would with a lip balm, until you have enough product on it and then distribute it onto your dry face. You don't need much product to cover your entire face, so the pot does tend to last a pretty long time. I bought this in January 2015, I believe, and it has not gone down much at all. The instructions are that you should pop it on your dry face and then rinse off with water. I, however, am lazy. So I will happily pop it onto my face and then wipe it off with some makeup wipes, which are of course wet, and it does the job just the same. You are able to use this on eye makeup as well, but I prefer not to. I would happily use it for eyeshadow but it is a bit of hassle to take off mascara, especially as I do tend to wear a lot of mascara. As it is a balm, it is really moisturising on the skin and leaves it feeling soft. But I would not recommend this for people who have oily skin, unless you're going to go in with a full face wash afterwards. Again, I am lazy and only wash my face once a day in the morning, so when I use this on the night the silky soft feeling sort of works as a bit of a night moisturiser for me.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrice: £22.00 for 125ml\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2uZO9DGfx2w/VR1rYuMcX3I/AAAAAAAAARI/9hfZL5vXoWc/s1600/blogger-image--615552663.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"200\" src\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2uZO9DGfx2w/VR1rYuMcX3I/AAAAAAAAARI/9hfZL5vXoWc/s1600/blogger-image--615552663.jpg\" width\u003d\"200\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sSxVl0y6wdU/VR1ke7IemsI/AAAAAAAAAQo/Oa2gn6zkx0E/s1600/blogger-image--204367631.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"320\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sSxVl0y6wdU/VR1ke7IemsI/AAAAAAAAAQo/Oa2gn6zkx0E/s1600/blogger-image--204367631.jpg\" width\u003d\"320\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eClinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes \u0026amp; Lips\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\nThis is one of my all time favourite products. It gets off your eye makeup really quickly and without irritating my eyes. It feels really odd the first time you use it. It is a really soft formula and feels silky on your skin but slightly greasy. It takes off everything really easily, including really stubborn waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Clinique recommend using a cotton ball but I use this with cotton pads. I find that cotton balls can fall apart whilst using them, getting bits of fluff in your eyes. But application is perfect using the cotton pads. I feel like it does nourish your eye area when you use it, but I'm not sure if it does actually have ingredients that are made to nourish the area. The only down side to this product is that it can run out quickly. Out of all of my Clinique skincare products I own, this is the one that goes down the quickest. Apart from that, if you have sensitive eyes I would definitely recommend this for you. If you're not sure about it but want to try it you can always ask for a sample. If not, it's really easy to get a small sized bottle as part of Clinique Bonus Time, I find that they're often included.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrice: £17.00 for 125ml\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XZvmOOid56U/VR1kajUONNI/AAAAAAAAAQY/l-IOztyvrhw/s1600/blogger-image--1822666967.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"320\" src\u003d\"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XZvmOOid56U/VR1kajUONNI/AAAAAAAAAQY/l-IOztyvrhw/s1600/blogger-image--1822666967.jpg\" width\u003d\"320\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: large;\"\u003eClinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Milk\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\nThis product is my least loved out of the three, despite the fact that it's on its last legs. I bought this product around 6 years ago, if not even longer than that (sue me, use by dates) but I stopped using it at the time as it was way too moisturising for me. The packaging instructs you to massage the product all over the skin and then rinse or tissue off. I never use water to take it off, again because I am lazy and don't like getting my hair wet before bed. Am I alone in this? I hate it! Anyway, so I tend to just put it on a cotton pad and massage it all over my face. This does work but I find I have to use quite a few cotton pads to do it. That's why I prefer the balm, as it takes one makeup wipe to get rid of it all. I used to use the same makeup wipe trick with the milk but it irritates my eyes. When I originally bought the product, I had asked if it took off eye makeup and the sales assistant told me that I could. Either she was ignorant or she was lying because it stings the living hell out of your eyes. As it is a Cleansing Milk, it is really moisturising on the skin. I would definitely recommend this for people who have really dry skin and are only looking for face makeup remover. Otherwise, for the price you pay, I feel like there are hundreds of cheaper alternatives. But they may not look as pretty.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrice: £19.00 for 200ml\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zu_rcvtuaag/VR1khMDwPmI/AAAAAAAAAQw/Z1e44xB_deI/s1600/blogger-image-1140745560.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"320\" src\u003d\"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zu_rcvtuaag/VR1khMDwPmI/AAAAAAAAAQw/Z1e44xB_deI/s1600/blogger-image-1140745560.jpg\" width\u003d\"320\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\nThank you for reading and please let me know in the comments what your experiences with Clinique makeup removers are!

Avoid matte consistencies, go for sheer or creamy consistencies and choose a more wearable colour, think nude pinks and reds (unless your Mum is often seen wearing really bold lips of course!). Clinique's Chubby Sticks are also really wearable and easy to use. Debenhams is a great place to have a look for products like these.

I very seldom get breakouts, if I do it's because I couldn't be bothered to take my makeup off after a night out or if I'm eating my body weight in chocolate every day of the week. So I like using skincare products just to keep my skin healthy and clean, especially as I do wear a fair amount of makeup. I am not using it for any specific purpose.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThis combination works really well for me and I think it may be the most common combination. Like I have said, it can be expensive, especially when all bought together. I have not used any of the products in any other skincare routine, I have always stuck to using the three together. I have used many other skincare ranges in the past, for example Nivea and Witch but I always went back to Clinique. I felt I was always running out of the other products whereas Clinique would last forever, so I felt like I was actually spending less on Clinique in the long term. As they are designed to be used together, I do feel like you get the most out of your products by using them together. On a smaller note, I really love the minimal design to the products and the colours of the packaging.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nAs for my daily routine, I don't really have one. I like to use the products whilst in the shower, so depending on lectures/plans for the day that is when I'll wash my face and go through the motions. I used to wash my face twice a day, morning and night but I felt like it was too much for my skin and so I stuck to doing it once a day. As a rule, I wash my face before I put makeup on. Makeup sits on my skin much better than without and I feel like I'm not clogging up my skin by doing it this way.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eClinique Liquid Facial Soap Mild\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-aZIi9seOYGk/VNy8BkW3xPI/AAAAAAAAALg/9Fib5HIJ4_M/s640/blogger-image--78244796.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"200\" src\u003d\"https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-aZIi9seOYGk/VNy8BkW3xPI/AAAAAAAAALg/9Fib5HIJ4_M/s200/blogger-image--78244796.jpg\" width\u003d\"200\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003eThe first step is the facial wash. I really like this wash as it is really gentle on the skin and eyes. It leaves skin feeling soft and clean. The dispenser means that you get as much as you need from just one pump. A tiny amount of this product goes a really long way, I remember being advised to use a pea sized amount and it is so true. I have the 200ml bottle and I started using this bottle last summer, perhaps around August. I'm not even half way through and it is now February so by that logic it should last me an entire year. For me, £16 is not expensive for something that lasts a year. I am essentially paying £1.34 a month for it. The product foams up really easily in your hands and is easy to distribute over the skin with your hands. It is fragrance free which is something I like about it, as I feel like I'm using less chemicals on my skin. There are also soap bars but I personally do not like bars of soap and prefer liquid consistency to my facial wash.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrice: £16.00\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1572/8279/3--step/Step-1-Cleanse/Liquid-Facial-Soap\"\u003ehttp://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1572/8279/3--step/Step-1-Cleanse/Liquid-Facial-Soap\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eClinique Clarifying Lotion 2\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pus27Xd6PPU/VNy9JOY9q3I/AAAAAAAAALw/A2T7UsAF4jg/s640/blogger-image--975910908.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"200\" src\u003d\"https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pus27Xd6PPU/VNy9JOY9q3I/AAAAAAAAALw/A2T7UsAF4jg/s200/blogger-image--975910908.jpg\" width\u003d\"200\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003eI really like this step because I can feel it working on my skin.

It does need moisture afterwards though as skin does feel a bit tight. I particularly like it on my blackhead area, although it doesn't clean them in depth, I still have to exfoliate and use nose strips, but it does work well on the surface and it keeps on top of my pores. They do look smaller after using the lotion. Although it's called a lotion, it has a water liquid type consistency. I took a new 200ml bottle with me when I moved to France, last September and I would say I've used around 1/5 of it so far. The bottle was £26.50 and so far I've spent £5.30 on it for 5 months, so technically it should last me another 20 months.

You really need the tiniest amount and it goes a really long way. It is a thick moisturiser but you can always use it with a bit of water if you want a lighter application. I do think it works best after washing your face but I do sometimes use it without, before putting foundation on. I think it works really well with my Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation. It can take a while for it to all sink in properly, and you can feel like you have a thin layer of moisturiser on for a long time, I like that feeling as I feel like it's still working on my skin. But if you put on foundation straight away, this feeling quickly disappears. Out of all of the 3-step products, this is the one that could easily be used in a different skincare routine. It is a really nice moisturiser which does exactly what it says it will, it's long lasting on the skin and is non greasy. This 125ml bottle was a Christmas gift from 2013 and is still going strong, so it has lasted over a year and there seems to be around a quarter left. The pump gives you exactly the right amount needed whilst also making sure you don't waste any of the product. It is the most expensive of the three products, at £30. But like I said, it has already lasted over a year so it really can be regarded as an investment.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrice: £30.00\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1574/26651/3--step/Step-3-Moisturize/Dramatically-Different-Moisturizing-Lotion\"\u003ehttp://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1574/26651/3--step/Step-3-Moisturize/Dramatically-Different-Moisturizing-Lotion\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6ocqD2uQ8gk/VNy8K1yzwRI/AAAAAAAAALo/SHPa91WE6ug/s640/blogger-image--1186672936.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"320\" src\u003d\"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6ocqD2uQ8gk/VNy8K1yzwRI/AAAAAAAAALo/SHPa91WE6ug/s320/blogger-image--1186672936.jpg\" width\u003d\"320\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eClinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing System\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-pwUp77NSwdA/VNy7-bXGzwI/AAAAAAAAALA/s3hS3w62v6g/s640/blogger-image--2133810019.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"200\" src\u003d\"https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-pwUp77NSwdA/VNy7-bXGzwI/AAAAAAAAALA/s3hS3w62v6g/s200/blogger-image--2133810019.jpg\" width\u003d\"200\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003eThis was a gift this year for Christmas so I'm not able to give an in-depth review on this but so far I really like it. It is very minimal and easy to use, it's easy to charge and is waterproof. I use it before the 3-step routine. There are two different types of bristles, the white are soft and are for all of your skin and the green are harder bristles for the T-zone. I couldn't say I've noticed a long term difference as I haven't had it very long, but I do notice a difference after I use it. My pores are smaller and my skin feels softer and clearer. Once the button is pressed, it works for 30 seconds, you can just press the button again for another 30 seconds, very easy to use. My only issue with this is that I needed to buy the Foaming Sonic Facial Soap to go with it. When I asked Santa for it, I assumed it would work with the 3-step without buying any extras. When I first started using it, I used it with the facial wash and I just felt like I would have had the same results with or without the brush. So I found out that there was an accompanying soap and bought it and have found that the brush works much better. The soap wasn't too expensive so it wasn't too much of a blow. Perhaps Clinique should have included a sample of the soap with the brush. In comparison to other well known sonic systems such as Clarisonic, the Clinique version is cheaper.

It is more of a cream based texture in comparison to the wash. It is more soap like, and leaves skin that weird squeaky clean feeling that you get from an old fashioned bar of soap. I don't tend to like that kind of feeling but I can feel it working and giving me a deeper clean so I don't mind. I bought 150ml for 22€, and £16 in the UK.

If you know me in person, you're more than likely to know that I am an enthusiastic feminist. For those of you who aren't sure what feminism is, or what it stands for, it is simply believing that all genders should be equal. It is not pulling men down so women can be more powerful, it is not about emasculating men and it certainly is not about hating men. Not all feminists are the same, some focus on equality in the work place and others focus on LGBT but they all have the common goal of gender equality.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eFor me, feminism is about choice. I believe all people on this planet should be able to do whatever they want, as long as it is not oppressing another person. Therefore I think that women and men should be able to wear makeup if they want to. The act of wearing makeup itself does not actively harm or oppress another person when it is being worn. Of course there are arguments against this, such as animal cruelty and the treatment of workers in factories, but for this post I am merely talking about the freedom of expression through makeup, it is not a post about the industry. Freedom of expression is for all genders, so if you're a 7 foot male basketball player and you want to wear sparkly blue eyeshadow on your eyelids, you have my full support.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003ePersonally, I wear makeup most days. As I have mentioned in an earlier post, I have a hair pulling disorder called trichotillomania. I have been dealing with this for around half of my life, I have gone through patches of no eyebrows or no eyelashes and sometimes even without either of them. So for me, makeup has helped me cover up my problem areas. Although I am very open about my hair pulling, I don't particularly want people to stare at me when I'm just trying to live my life. As a result, I do tend to wear brow and eye makeup every day. I end up wearing a full face of makeup often purely because I enjoy doing it.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eI want to make it clear that I do not wear makeup for anyone but myself. I think it's very important to make sure that your self happiness and self worth is not linked to how \"beautiful\" you are. Unfortunately, we live in a world where we are bombarded with attractive (very airbrushed) women everywhere we go, so it can be very difficult to remain happy within yourself if you're basing your self worth on your attractiveness in comparison to women who almost don't exist. I speak of women in my example but of course the pressure is also there for all genders.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eSo? Why do I wear makeup? Because it is fun! It's the adult equivalent of a huge art and crafts world where you can go mad, drawing painting and creating something wonderful and pretty and then parading their masterpieces around with pride for the rest of the day! Finding the perfect shade of nude pink lipstick is the equivalent of finding the right indigo colour to complete your rainbow. I like being creative, especially as I do spend most of my time studying my degree (unless drawing hearts all over my work counts). It is an outlet for me to try new things and to not have any rules to follow, if I want to wear a red lipstick, it's not as if someone is going to tell me off and give me a C, it is just a bit of fun. Although my Dad did try his best to do so once when he told me that my lipstick was \"hideous\". I told him that he didn't know what he was talking about and carried on wearing it because A) it was fabulous and B) I was wearing it for myself, not him.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eWhen I started using makeup, I didn't have the same healthy attitude as I have now. I used it when I was younger to look prettier so that I would get noticed in school by boys and to make sure I fitted in. Now that I am older (well, 21) I know that it doesn't matter. Anyone who judges you on what you look like and how much makeup, or lack of thereof, you wear is just not worth your time. You become friends with someone to have fun, to laugh and for emotional support. I can never say that I've ever had a friend that I'm only friends with because I like looking at him/her, it's just bizarre.

Ever. Nothing has ever even come close to it. It is a long wear foundation that really does stay on all day. The range of colours is good, there are over 30 different shades and I am currently using Desert Beige 2N1. I have used a few different shades, mostly because I tan easily in the summer and then go paler in winter. It boasts 15 hour staying power and I would agree that it does do the job. It really does last all day, from when I'm going to lectures or waitressing part time, it doesn't budge all day. Other makeup, for example blush and bronze sit nicely on it as well. I have been recommended to put blush/bronzer on straight away for staying power but I personally prefer to wait until it has dried properly as I find it's much easier to blend. It does set quickly so you do need to work quickly with it. I tend to put my Clinique moisturiser on first, which makes it easier to work with and gives you longer to really blend it into your face. I have combination skin and it works perfectly for me. It is particularly good for covering blemishes and acne prone skin. However, it is a very thick foundation so I wouldn't recommend it for people who have a lot of acne and want it to clear up quickly, but it is good for covering it up. For people with dry skin, I would recommend putting on a thick moisturiser on first. I find it looks its best after I have done a thorough wash of my face, I am currently using the Clinique 3 Step set, in which i will describe in a future blogpost about my skincare routine. The price is quite hefty (£29.50) but I do find it lasts me a long time and a little bit goes a very long way.\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.esteelauder.co.uk/product/643/3894/Product-Catalog/Makeup/Face/Foundations/Double-Wear/Stay-in-Place-Makeup-SPF-10/index.tmpl\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003ehttp://www.esteelauder.co.uk/product/643/3894/Product-Catalog/Makeup/Face/Foundations/Double-Wear/Stay-in-Place-Makeup-SPF-10/index.tmpl\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eConcealer: Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7P1jjPap9wk/VMU1qHKvU5I/AAAAAAAAACE/SBEgCFMwfy8/s1600/DSC01006.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"150\" src\u003d\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7P1jjPap9wk/VMU1qHKvU5I/AAAAAAAAACE/SBEgCFMwfy8/s1600/DSC01006.JPG\" width\u003d\"200\" /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eThis concealer is creamy and thick. I love the way it goes onto the skin and its texture. As you can see I only have the sample size but it has lasted me a very long time. I have been using it for at least 6 months, perhaps not everyday but probably at least 3-4 days a week. I am fairly certain it lasts all day and I think it works well in combination with the Double Wear foundation. I haven't tried many different concealers but I definitely prefer it to a stick type formula. I tend to only use it under my eyes and just use my fingers to blend it in. I sometimes put a small amount on my nose to create the illusion of a smaller nose. It's price is again, not cheap (£21.50), but my 4.7ml sample size has lasted a very long time so I may consider purchasing the full size at some point.

I have used other well known bronzers, such as Too Faced Chocolate Soleil and Benefit's Hoola, but I still prefer the Clinique bronzer. I find it blends much easier than the others and it seems to be the perfect colour for my skin tone. I use it for contouring, so in my cheek bones and I take it up to my temple and a bit on my chin. It comes with a small flat brush which can be used well on the cheek bones, but I personally think it's a bit too thin and creates too much of a harsh line. (I will go into details on what brushes I use for what and how in a future blog post). This bronzer does have glitter in it but I never notice it on my skin, that may be down to me being so used to it but I don't think I've ever had anyone telling me that my bronzer is too glittery. It does tend to be down to personal choice when it comes to glitter in bronzers, but I personally love it. It is £24, which is expensive but it lasts a very long time, I bought this one in May 2014 and it still has tonnes of product left in it.\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1594/5737/Makeup/Bronzers/True-Bronze-Pressed-Powder-Bronzer\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003ehttp://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1594/5737/Makeup/Bronzers/True-Bronze-Pressed-Powder-Bronzer\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eBlusher: Nars Blush in Orgasm\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\n\u003c/span\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b-gEaHT919U/VMU1mA9Z4wI/AAAAAAAAABs/ydb1tWWjutc/s1600/DSC00991.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"150\" src\u003d\"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b-gEaHT919U/VMU1mA9Z4wI/AAAAAAAAABs/ydb1tWWjutc/s1600/DSC00991.JPG\" width\u003d\"200\" /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eI know it's cliché but I really like this blush. I only recently got hold of my own but I seem to be using it all the time. It really does go with everything and it's a fail safe if you're not sure what blush would go with the look you have created. It is described as \"peachy pink with golden shimmer\" on the website, which I guess is the best way to describe it. It looks pink but when you swatch it the colour reflects a goldeny peachy gorgeous colour. It can be built upon to create a deeper colour but not too much, it is hard to go overboard with it. It suits me with my paler skin at the moment and I'm sure it will look even nicer when I have more of a tan, as I can imagine the golden shimmer will complement it nicely.

I love putting in my brow arch, it highlights the brows perfectly and it really does open the eye more. The pencil shape makes it so much easier to use. I haven't seen many other products like this on the market and so it is a relatively unique product. It has a soft creamy crayon texture and I use my fingers to blend it out.

Unfortunately I can't seem to find a link for it online and I don't think I have ever seen it in store so it may have been discontinued. However, I have trichotillomania and I pick heavily on my brows especially during stressful periods. Brow powder, I have found, is the best way to cover it up and giving you the most natural looking brows. I haven't tried any other powders but I'm sure there are hundreds of very similar products on the market. Using a good brush will give you a great shape to your brows, whether you have a little or a lot of hair. I like using the Makeup Forever Aqua Brow as well but I do think powder gives the most natural look. I prefer powder over pencil as my skin can get quite sore in the area and putting on pencil can be quite painful. This product glides on wonderfully and its really easy to correct any mistakes I make with a cotton bud. The colour suits my hair nicely and you can build it to create a light or dark brow.\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eEyeshadow: Urban Decay Naked Palette\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6Botvu2Kxa0/VMU1uBB04QI/AAAAAAAAACY/APCGYWJOkr8/s1600/DSC01016.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"150\" src\u003d\"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6Botvu2Kxa0/VMU1uBB04QI/AAAAAAAAACY/APCGYWJOkr8/s1600/DSC01016.JPG\" width\u003d\"200\" /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eIf there is one eyeshadow palette that everyone should own, it is the Naked palette. I had heard a lot of good reviews on it before and it really does live up to hype. I use every colour in the palette and despite having a lot of other eyeshadow palettes I still will reach for this one a lot. The two matte shades: Naked and Buck are two of my all time favourites, especially for a really normal day time look. I put Naked on my lid and then Buck into the crease, it takes two seconds but makes a huge difference. For a darker day time look I wear Toasted and Hustle, this worked particularly well in the summer when I had a tan. There are various different combinations you can do for a night time look, it's perfect for a nude smokey eye (a favourite of mine). The shadows are all so easy to blend and they're all so pigmented. There are two shadows at the end (Creep and Gunmetal) which are great for late evening, clubbing looks. I also like using Creep to create an eyeliner look by using a small angled flat brush. There are two highlighter colours as well which I like using under the brow and in the corners of my eyes. All in all, it really is a perfect palette. It has a colour to suit every occasion and the quality is excellent. At £37 it puts each separate shadow at £3.08 each, which technically makes it a bargain.\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.urbandecay.co.uk/naked/naked-colour/naked\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003ehttp://www.urbandecay.co.uk/naked/naked-colour/naked\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eMascara: Natural Collection Lash Length Mascara\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OxyKsCHCpfI/VMU1tkK4tjI/AAAAAAAAACQ/7M1dgnJQ2S8/s1600/DSC01010.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"150\" src\u003d\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OxyKsCHCpfI/VMU1tkK4tjI/AAAAAAAAACQ/7M1dgnJQ2S8/s1600/DSC01010.JPG\" width\u003d\"200\" /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eThis is the only high street product I have on this list (oops) but it probably is my favourite product of all time. I have naturally long lashes and it works perfectly for them. It separates and lengths them perfectly, I feel like they really do just accentuate my natural lashes. The brush is a relatively normal bristle brush and the product itself is light weight and easy to clean off your skin. It doesn't clump and builds wonderfully. For a normal day I will curl my lashes with a curler and then put on two layers of mascara on. You can easily just wear one layer but for me personally I like two. If I have darker makeup on I tend to put a few more layers on, sometimes curling my lashes between each layer. There are a few other mascaras in their range, I like to use Lash Build and Lash Definition as well. Lash Build seems to be very popular as it's always sold out in the store. I used to chose Lash Build over Lash Length but I found that longer length made my eyes look nicer than having voluminous shorter lashes. It's really easy to take off with a makeup wipe or makeup remover and it doesn't take out lashes with it when you take it off. The best part of this mascara is its price - £1.99! In the past, there was often a 3 for £5 deal on all Natural Collection products. Obviously I always bought 3 mascaras then, which I prefer doing anyway as I don't use the same mascara every day. I find if you use them every day they dry out very quickly. I like to alternate my mascaras every day and for the incredibly cheap price, I can afford to do so. The only downside is that it is a Boots own brand and so I'm only able to get it whilst I'm in the UK. I've been using this mascara for years and am yet to find one similar that just gives you the results you want - long natural looking lashes.\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.boots.com/en/Natural-Collection-Lash-Length-Mascara_24319/\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003ehttp://www.boots.com/en/Natural-Collection-Lash-Length-Mascara_24319/\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eLipstick: MAC Rebel (Satin Finish)\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vt-5_UJeM64/VMU1ohzug6I/AAAAAAAAAB4/-2z2bHLIcmM/s1600/DSC01000.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"150\" src\u003d\"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vt-5_UJeM64/VMU1ohzug6I/AAAAAAAAAB4/-2z2bHLIcmM/s1600/DSC01000.JPG\" width\u003d\"200\" /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003eThis isn't my normal day to day lipstick but it is definitely my favourite. I absolutely love the colour, it's perfect for autumn and winter and it just looks fabulous. The colour is a beautiful plum purple which really does stand out. It is a satin finish, so it doesn't last as long as a matte or a retro matte, but it does last a long time without drying out your lips. Satin finishes are probably my favourite as they are creamy enough but not at all sheer. It is pigmented enough to not need a lip liner as well. I like wearing this one if I'm going out for drinks and want to make my makeup a bit more dramatic. It is also quite versatile in the way that you can wear it with a little or a lot of eye makeup. The price is cheap for a high end lipstick, but expensive for a lipstick at £15.50.
