Autumn is here, but I'm already thinking of winter. I'm in desperate need of a Jacket or Coat that I could wear during those days whee the weather can't decide whether to rain or not. So I really need one with a hood to block out the rain and the wind. British weather, why are you so frustrating. Here are my favourite three jackets/coats that I've had my eye on. Have you had your eyes on any Jackets this Autumn/Winter? Are you a hood, collar or even collarless person?<br />

<br />
I know that I'm very late for discovering this little beauty, but I always try to find a bargain first. The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water was on offer in Tesco, so I thought might as well see what all the fuss is about.<br />
<br />
I don't think I will find something better than this. I'm kinda grateful I haven't tried the Bioderma before using the Garnier one. Some bloggers that i've read prefer the Bioderma, but I don't have enough money for that.<br />
<br />
With a slightly drenched cotton pad with the Micellar Water would be enough to take off both my eye makeup and waterproof mascara. I don't scrub my eyes off with it, just a gentle wipe would get any heavy duty makeup off.<br />
<br />
It's currently cheaper in <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Garnier/Garnier-Cleansing-Micellar-Lotion-400ml/p/809257#.VEuXN5PF8hE" target="_blank">Superdrug</a>, (pssst, if you're a A Level or University student you can get an extra 10% off if you show your NUS extra card)<br />

<br />
I finally got my hands on the Real Techniques Core Collection. I mainly wanted this for the Buffing Brush and the Contour Brush, but don't worry I wont neglect the other brushes. At the moment I am using the Expert Face Brush for my Foundation/BB Cream, but I needed a brush with a flatter top.<br />
<br />
This is a great starter kit for any newbies entering the make up world.<br />
The Buffing brush can be used for your base - (Foundation, BB Cream, CC Cream)<br />
The Contour can be used for either contouring, highlighting or highlighting under the eyes<br />
The Pointed Foundation Brush can fit perfectly under the eyes to apply concealer<br />
The Detailer brush can be used to conceal spots or can even be used to apply lipstick.<br />
<br />
Quick tip, buy the Core Collection or any Real Technique brushes from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Real-Techniques-Core-Collection-Kit/dp/B004TSFBNK/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1409260929&sr=1-1&keywords=real+techniques+core+collection" target="_blank">Amazon</a>. Forget your student discount at Superdrug or the buy 1 get second half price at Boots. Go to Amazon, they sell the same thing but for much cheaper. I got £8.00 off the Core Collection. I have no regrets. Just means I can save my money or buy more brushes ;)<br />

<br />
Time to wash those makeup brushes. If you don't then some problems may happen<br />
<br />
- It could be the main problem for break outs on your face.<br />
- The colour pay-off of eyeshadows, blushes and foundation may not come out as nice as it would if the brush was on the cleaner side.<br />
- Bacteria can transfer from makeup to brush to face, it's better to wash away and start afresh.<br />
You don't have to necessary wash your brushes after every single use but you can spot clean, which means you can use your makeup wipes and just swirl your brush onto that. You won't get a thorough clean like with the shampoo but it will eliminate most of the product in the brush.<br />
Let me show you how I wash my brushes. I wash my brushes every two weeks as I find doing it every week it just a bore. I prefer to wash my brushes in the kitchen because there's more room.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9wJosfpy70TYaGLF4v2ehiFDQiMIWpyNaw78e5yPn04AHmJxMnPLSzYT1XcUtE63wDnyAbypk4KkglsHut2e3ysvJGzqhulWn79awvjYVQCRrR23frsp0rc-Q6Wg7CIYqdr-AxzMvOQQ/s1600/IMG_9160e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9wJosfpy70TYaGLF4v2ehiFDQiMIWpyNaw78e5yPn04AHmJxMnPLSzYT1XcUtE63wDnyAbypk4KkglsHut2e3ysvJGzqhulWn79awvjYVQCRrR23frsp0rc-Q6Wg7CIYqdr-AxzMvOQQ/s1600/IMG_9160e.jpg" height="402" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I've tried using Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Baby Shampoo but I found it clogged my brushes. I just stick to my trusty Johnson's Baby Shampoo. It's gentle and does the job well, it smells nice too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNz0qlBLPB9sn8UQb582rS-jHdj7SdW_k-11MO01EnugNk0WBf2cC-zb9H9ZIHmSpriDkJyecZMzVrQPAnlMgApvuPLCQjuKKzgKrThLGgzrD2DWGDrc2CJ8BKAFLSxluWX3NMVKc4qoQ/s1600/IMG_9171e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNz0qlBLPB9sn8UQb582rS-jHdj7SdW_k-11MO01EnugNk0WBf2cC-zb9H9ZIHmSpriDkJyecZMzVrQPAnlMgApvuPLCQjuKKzgKrThLGgzrD2DWGDrc2CJ8BKAFLSxluWX3NMVKc4qoQ/s1600/IMG_9171e.jpg" height="392" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
First I wet my brushes in lukewarm - warm water just to get the bristles wet and ready for the wash! Make sure you have the brushes face down so no water goes into the base of the brush.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFM7rIhe1GJZPoAeNsLlZTrV85awiL8fbDluGiiC4pHUkOZZ7q7WRjO8_JcrBL5FTq3mrxRWZZARn2uhg_9IVtWFrQkMo8cu0XwY6y_0uYFgdhnhN4FjzGANXMfysVDRsFxyT04jdcAw/s1600/eIMG_9174.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFM7rIhe1GJZPoAeNsLlZTrV85awiL8fbDluGiiC4pHUkOZZ7q7WRjO8_JcrBL5FTq3mrxRWZZARn2uhg_9IVtWFrQkMo8cu0XwY6y_0uYFgdhnhN4FjzGANXMfysVDRsFxyT04jdcAw/s1600/eIMG_9174.jpg" height="364" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I then put a blob of shampoo on the palm of my hand and swish the brush around until all the product has been taken out. It usually takes me two blobs of shampoo just to ensure that the brushes are clean.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
To dry them I hang them upside down on the Real Technique cases or I put them on a flannel over the counter. This ensures all the water is dried up from bristles and doesn't travel down to the base of the brush as this can loosen up the glue.<br />
<br />
I find that putting a reminder on my phone helps me know when I should wash my brushes. I always tend to forget. Have you guys used anything else to wash your brushes? Any recommendations?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Whenever I go to Mauritius I always like picking up my favourite brand for face masks which is the 'Freeman Beauty'. They have a lot of different types of face masks from brightening to hydrating. There are so many you just have to find the right one you want. </span><span style="font-size: 13px;">I purchased 3 masks and I am in love. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><b>Charcoal and Black Sugar Facial Polishing Mask</b> - Brilliant for deep cleaning and getting rid of any dry skin flakes. A scrub and mask, 2 in 1. The only way I can describe my skin after using this would be CLEAN. My skin did slightly feel tight after using this but it did make me feel like my skin was rid of all the pollution in the air. I think this mask would be best for oily skin and it removes oil straight away after on use.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13px;"><b>Avocado and Oatmeal Facial Clay Mask</b> - I bought this mainly because it said Avocado and Oatmeal. Avocado and Oatmeal are the best ingredients for dry to eczema prone skin. After using this mask your skin feels soft and hydrated.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13px;"><b>Golden Grain Facial Brightening Mask</b> - Due to my eczema prone skin I find my skin tends to lack brightness and a glow. Even after staying in the sun for a whole day my skin looked dark rather than having a nice glow to the skin. I found that after using this my skin definitely appeared clearer rather than glowly. If you hate face masks that crack like clay masks this is the mask for you.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlI5h7iTIKsCS6o61HlrM6ILW-QQ2veb3YTW61aGq1JrpLIuuiak8iV0fCPwoKu1g1uvZsem4VvIQog9T3ADqN5fgITDb7g7-tYhlhzezT3lS9yAn6ddq7lMPSOv_ze_wWOYmkOuA44K4/s1600/IMG_9111editted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlI5h7iTIKsCS6o61HlrM6ILW-QQ2veb3YTW61aGq1JrpLIuuiak8iV0fCPwoKu1g1uvZsem4VvIQog9T3ADqN5fgITDb7g7-tYhlhzezT3lS9yAn6ddq7lMPSOv_ze_wWOYmkOuA44K4/s1600/IMG_9111editted.jpg" height="374" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">^This is what the mask look like when applied when dried only the Avocado mask becomes dry and crackly.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 13px;">For each mask I left them on for 10 minutes max. Any longer and my skin would not thank me after. To remove them I prefer using a face towel soaked in warm to hot water. Then I place the face towel on my face and gradually wipe away. Put on your daily face cream on and you should feel that your skin has gone softer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13px;">I haven’t seen any Freeman Beauty product in Superdrug or Boots, but you can order any Freeman product from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=bl_sr_drugstore?ie=UTF8&field-keywords=Freeman&index=drugstore&search-type=ss" target="_blank">Amazon</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13px;">Freeman have a range of products from face mask to foot scrubs. You just need to know your skin type and browse away. I’m thinking of looking into their body lotions as my skin has dehydrated after being in the warm sun of Mauritius.</span><br />

I have been away from England for about a month. I've been away. Far far away in the Island of Mauritius. My family and ancestors come from Mauritius so it was only fair to go visit my lovely family after 4 years. I had such a great time seeing my cousins, so many girls and all roughly my age. I think my relationship with my cousin have grown so much stronger. I can never forget them.<br />
<br />
Those pictures above are from a trip to the beach only 30 mins away from where my family lives. It was hot, sunny basically a paradise away from grubby England. (Don't get me wrong I love England and it's weather)<br />
<br />
Now that I'm back home it's made me think about how we should treasure our family, through thick and thin. I love them so much and it was so hard to say goodbye to them especially when you've built a bond with them.<br />
<br />
Right. I'm back. I've unpacked, I've washed my clothes and sorted out my bedroom. Ready for some posts? They'll be out soon so keep an eye out for them. Follow me on <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/11983661" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a>' or <a href="https://twitter.com/kristalovesx" target="_blank">Twitter</a> for updates.<br />
<br />
Hope you had a lovely holiday or if you're going on holiday have fun and treasure each moment. Take loads of photographs! Here's a little selfie on the beach for you ;)<br />

Butter up your brownie baking pan and our in the batter. I got mine at <a href="http://www.lakeland.co.uk/12505/My-Kitchen-Cook-and-Bake-Brownie-Pan" target="_blank">Lakeland for £11.99</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bake the brownie at <span style="color: #323333;">170</span><span style="color: #252525;"><b>°</b></span><span style="color: #323333;">c for about 20 - 25 minutes. Check that the top layer is firm before taking it out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once done, allow to cool and you can cut them up into rectangles. It’s optional but you can sprinkle some icing sugar onto to add a bit of decoration. Plus it looks yummier.</div>

High shine polish in Lychee. Perfect for a bit of class. I wanted to add a bit of sparkle, so I used some silver and gold glitter polish and added them to my ring fingers and thumbs.<br />

It is the L'Oreal Paris False Lash Flutter. The amount of hype there was about the mascara was almost unbearable. I thought my trusty Volume Million Lashes (from L'Oreal too) was the other mascara in the world for me. But oh no no. I was wrong. It was on offer in Boots, so I thought I might as well try it and see what all the fuss was about, and now I see.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtcWrBKsFsRa5TUM6YVRJT5hYa0bh2_yoBR70ZYnyiRQZnxKzESk9pNECYQb_rNlp0TmcxhG1Q6Ff_iDLFs71hN75gTaQ5UjWzg1ml2SF0eL-Hvi3ODkcERuVL9_ptiweP-OyIPhyphenhyphenLGP0/s1600/IMG_5990-final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtcWrBKsFsRa5TUM6YVRJT5hYa0bh2_yoBR70ZYnyiRQZnxKzESk9pNECYQb_rNlp0TmcxhG1Q6Ff_iDLFs71hN75gTaQ5UjWzg1ml2SF0eL-Hvi3ODkcERuVL9_ptiweP-OyIPhyphenhyphenLGP0/s1600/IMG_5990-final.jpg" height="268" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The mascara claims to extend the look of lashes towards the outer eye without clumps. It also claims to have Cacoon fibres which help to make the lashes look longer. The wand for this mascara is thicker one end and becomes tapered towards the end.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwBRRTEeDqirjAbp_yMwN2noMm1BOhse9bSlvAK2kA0fsMrLQBi3XQLDqUxC8yq20UUdhc0MkbSBZKIFzbA04UYR6ljt68-PMsA8EH8Gan7g7GL3ZtmnTUphKG_aK3NPsQAMIRqIgpJiQ/s1600/IMG_5999.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwBRRTEeDqirjAbp_yMwN2noMm1BOhse9bSlvAK2kA0fsMrLQBi3XQLDqUxC8yq20UUdhc0MkbSBZKIFzbA04UYR6ljt68-PMsA8EH8Gan7g7GL3ZtmnTUphKG_aK3NPsQAMIRqIgpJiQ/s1600/IMG_5999.jpg.jpg" height="296" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I normally apply two coats of mascara just to build up volume and length. I find that this mascara work even better when you wear winged liner. This mascara definitely gives me longer lashes and definitely winged out. You just need to be careful with how you apply the mascara due to the wand. Use the wider part for the outer ends. So you do find yourself in an awkward position when it comes to the left eye. Use the rounded side of the wand for the bottom lashes as it catches every single hair.<br />
<br />

<br />
Two coats are just enough for my lashes. Anymore and it will look spidery. Excuse the untamed brows.<br />

It's called Exposed. Oooo sexyyy aha. I am almost surprised at the amazing quality of this polish. Two thin shades dried so quickly and was so opaque. Amazing.</span></div>

So I got a Macbook for my birthday and I really needed a case or a laptop bag for it. It is actually difficult to find a stylish or modern looking laptop case or bag. I started looking at retail stores because you can be surprised at what they offer. </div>

I came across ASOS and they had Laptop Cases. They were simple and modern even though it's supposed to be for a guy. I still bought it though. It was a good bargain, just £14! They also have another version were the straps are brown. But I prefer the whole case being one colour. My 15 inch Macbook fit's perfectly in the case with enough room to fit the charger too.</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sorry I haven’t been posting, been piled up with work for uni. Save me. Anyways let’s get back to the post.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't done a post like this before, but let's give it a try. I thought as well as beauty and skincare products, I should put a non empty product just to mix things up a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/pantene/pantene-hs-ultra-strong-300ml/invt/334681" target="_blank">Pantene Pro V Extra Strong Hairspray (£3.69)</a> - If you remember my <a href="http://kristalovesx.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/superdrug-and-matalan-haul.html" target="_blank">haul</a> from a while while while back in September, you know that I bought two different types of hairspray. I thought this one would be the hairspray would hold any curl in place, turns out it doesn't. Well not for my hair anyway. But I still tried to use it all up to its very last drop. I wouldn't purchase this one again though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/max-factor/max-factor-false-lash-effect-waterproof-mascara-black/invt/497355" target="_blank">Max Factor False Lash Effect (£10.99)</a> - This mascara is amazing!! Especially in the waterproof version. I wore this whilst swimming and it holds up and does not flake at all. But you do need a good make up remover to get this off. Preferably something oily like the Botanics Eye make up remover. Definitely need to repurchase this after I finish my Maybelline's Big Eye Mascara.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/witch/witch-anti-blemish-skin-clearing-primer/invt/239959&bklist=" target="_blank">Witch Skin Clearing Primer (£6.99)</a> - I LOVE this. If you get spots frequently and need something to calm it down and reduce the size and redness, get this. I apply this before my make up on days I get breakouts and I sometimes use it before bed to just to calm down the spots. It really does work. Definitely another repurchase.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/mua-makeup-academy/mua-pro-base-fixing-mist/invt/580251&bklist=" target="_blank">MUA's Fixing Mist (£5)</a> - I know fixing mists are supposed to be used for after you finish applying all of your make up. But I find that using it to wet or dampen your make up sponge works better rather than using water. It's just another reassurance that your make up will stay put before you after your powder, blusher and all that jazz.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/lip-make-up/maybelline-baby-lips-balm-repair/invt/706859&bklist=" target="_blank">Maybelline's Baby Lips in Intense Care (£2.99)</a> - Another amazing product, I've literally scraped every last bit of this lip balm. It's a must have for me. I also did a little <a href="http://kristalovesx.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/baby-lips-review.html" target="_blank">review</a> previously, make sure you check that too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last but not least, GREEN TEA! <a href="http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=272374077" target="_blank">Twinings in Mango and Lychee (£1.59)</a> - I can't get enough of this flavour, it's so sweet and comforting. Perfect with my breakfast, after my lunch and after dinner for ease of digestion aha. It's healthy and helps with burning fat as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that sums up my empties for now, I might do this after every time I get a significant amount of empty products rather than every month. What do you guys think?</div>

Sorry for not posting this week, just been busy with university things and family. Anyways, onto the post. I have been feeling quite grungy and gothic recently, which is weird as it's been amazingly sunny this week.</div>

I personally think that black nail polish looks better with longer nails but it still works with short too. I think I might add a matte top coat just to have something different rather than it being glossy all the time. What do you think?</div>

It's March. It's nearly my birthday! Woooo. Right onto the favourites.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAlPBMPk1WSiKPOjo0BMGxGXlmzfpBKPCcgmgy5UHwAIUk25Piv9lORjd603JsJDbF2m2P3bF0KO95GOa97Twn_9DWd14spij1MoBcf2Q4IdRQyLqul9TFeEKajmXejBxZOau2-rAkOEA/s1600/IMG_5786.JPG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAlPBMPk1WSiKPOjo0BMGxGXlmzfpBKPCcgmgy5UHwAIUk25Piv9lORjd603JsJDbF2m2P3bF0KO95GOa97Twn_9DWd14spij1MoBcf2Q4IdRQyLqul9TFeEKajmXejBxZOau2-rAkOEA/s1600/IMG_5786.JPG.jpg" height="372" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So my favourite foundation this month has actually been a BB Cream. I bought the wrong shade I bought a shade lighter. But it actually blends out evenly and gives a glow to the skin. <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/make-up/face/all-in-one-bb-cream.aspx" target="_blank">Retails for £12.00 at The Body Shop.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Favourite power to set my face with is the Sleek's Suede Effect in the Shade 02. It has an almost velvety feel to the touch and creates a matte finish when setting your face. <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/sleek-makeup/sleek-suede-effect-pressed-powder-02/invt/449759" target="_blank">You can get this at Superdrug for £6.99</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next on the list is my favourite eye product and this month's favourite is the Maybelline's Colour Tattoo in the shade On and On Bronze. I love using this as an inner eye highlight when having my usual winged eyeliner. It also works as a great base when doing any eye shadow combo, it's kind of an alternative to primers. <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/maybelline/maybelline-colour-tattoo-eyeshadow-on+on-bronze/invt/414464&bklist=" target="_blank">Superdrug are currently doing a 3 for 2 on all Maybelline product so snatch yours for £4.99.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favourite lip product is the Hoola lipgloss by Benefit. I've currently got the sample size which means I have to use it sparingly. It's a gorgeous shimmery nude which is perfect on a lazy day.<a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/hoola-ultra-plush-lip-gloss" target="_blank"> You can get the full size on Benefit's website for £14.50.</a> A little tip for you guys, if you are a student you can get 10% off Benefit cosmetics if you sign up to Uni-Days. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Favourite brush at the moment is the Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush which I have been using for my concealer under my eyes. The brush is fluffy and soft and doesn't drag the skin around, which is a plus! <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Real-Techniques-Starter-Set-1406_1252040/" target="_blank">This brush is part of the Real Techniques set which you can get at Boots for £21.99.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hair product timeeeee. I have no hope in getting volume in my fringe, back combing does not help at all. So I have resorted to back combing spray, which works better than dry shampoo believe it or not. I just spray it inbetween my fringe and ruffle my hair to distribute the product. and BOOM. Voluminous hair. <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/vo5/alberto-vo5-plump-it-up-dry-backcomb-spray-200ml/invt/481652&bklist=" target="_blank">It's on offer at Superdrug, 2 for £5, but usually sells for £3.79.</a></div>

And last and not least my favourite scent. It has to be Next's Milan. This fragrance is fruity, with a floral heart and a woody base, perfect for entering spring time. It just smells so feminine without being too overpowering. I couldn't find the 100ml online but I could find the 50ml. <a href="http://www.next.co.uk/g9038s10#763000g90" target="_blank">The 50ml retails for £8.</a></div>

Nearly every Friday I always remove my chipped off nail polish and start all over again with a fresh new lick of nail polish.</div>

Time to moisturise those hands. I'm currently using Skin therapy's Intensive Hand and Nail cream which I got for 59p in Wilkinson. Bargain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moisture those cuticles with a rich cuticle cream. Dot the cuticle cream on your cuticles and rub in well. Lemony Flutter is my favourite at the moment just because of the scent. It smells exactly like lemons. You can get this in Lush for £6.50.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Once the hand cream and cuticle cream have absorbed into the hands, I then use some nail polish remover over my nails. This will get rid of any oily residue left from the creams.</div>

Top coat time. Barry M's basecoat, topcoat and nail harder is a perfect 3 in 1 clear polish. Get it in either Boots or Superdrugs for £2.99.</div>

I'm a bit weird when it comes to cutting and filing my nails. I prefer to have my clear coat on first then cut my nails and then file them down to get rid of any sharpness. I'm currently using Tesco's emery boards because they're cheaper and they last so long. I prefer using a bigger nail cutter because then it cuts straight in one go.</div>

Here are the lovely products that I bought on my recent trip to the town centre. Let's get started with the Primark things.</div>

Sunglasses - £2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may think I'm silly for buying sunglasses in this weather, but it is genuinely getting sunnier. I have mostly black framed sunglasses so when I saw this brown tinted sunglasses, I immediately picked them up. These sunglasses also come with a fabric case, which is handy when you don't want to carry those bulky cases around. Thanks Primark for cheap sunglasses, it just means I can buy more. Muhaha.</div>

Felt Tip Eyeliner - £1.50</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you didn't know, Becca Rose (YouTuber and Blogger) works with Primark. She did a recent Beauty Tutorial with just Primark makeup. It was so simple and elegant. but from the makeup look I really liked the Felt tip liner. It was only £1.50! It has a fine tip and if you use it on the side you can acheive a thicker winged look.</div>

9 Packed Earrings - £2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it when Primark comes out with new earrings,, especially the 9 packed ones. My favourite ones would have to be the triangular and spiked earrings. So simple and adds an almost effortless look.</div>

Purse - £5</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My original purse was getting overloaded with cards, so I needed something that would hold 8 or more cards. I have a lot of food cards like Nandos and Subway. Mmmmm. This reptile skin purse was perfect. It had two separate places to hold coins, one at the back and another when you open the purse to reveal the cards. The gold plates add a bit of elegance to the entire purse.</div>

Midi Rings - £2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was looking at the accessories section in River Island and found this little beauty for only £2! This is the price of something in Primark. The chevron ring gives something extra rather than it being a single round band.</div>

My dark circles are getting on my nerves. The Moisturecover is perfect for dry skin just like me. I got mine in the shade NW30, it matches my skin perfectly so I can use this on blemishes aswell as my dark circles. A bit pricey but worth every penny.</div>

Midi Ring - River Island - £2<br />
<br />
This lovely colour cost only £2.99. It has a thick brush which means it's easy to apply to your whole nail in just two swipes. I also spotted a Nail Polish in H&M called Mermaid which would be perfect to put as an accent colour on the ring finger.<br />
<br />
What colour would you put as an accent?<br />
<br />
Hope you are having an amazing day x<br />

A new year and a new skincare routine.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqx3XvIvI5NPd28DCM3XHPTt38fdnN8LDBn0fpZUaT6axxT6qee-FpOMhPOJIAUnWvCL2yNKFHvyNwx9u0bTT-1JJVQokJSTns36FDNrs0Om7AfrmUyC9q36fAWSl3fdS16xrTySK065I/s1600/IMG_5389Botanics.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqx3XvIvI5NPd28DCM3XHPTt38fdnN8LDBn0fpZUaT6axxT6qee-FpOMhPOJIAUnWvCL2yNKFHvyNwx9u0bTT-1JJVQokJSTns36FDNrs0Om7AfrmUyC9q36fAWSl3fdS16xrTySK065I/s1600/IMG_5389Botanics.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During the partying season, I may have neglected my skin a bit. My skin felt dull and lacked that glow you usually get after taking a hot shower or just after washing your face. I needed a product that would not strip away my skin yet remove all the makeup and dirt left on my delicate dry skin. I finally found a few products from Boots that have actually helped my skin regain that youthful glow that I had been craving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all we have the oil based brightening eye makeup remover. I don't think I have ever found a product that has brighten up my dark circles whilst removing tough waterproof mascara. This would probably be my holy grail item, can't go a day without it. It genuinely removes every last trace of makeup. It may be a tad bit too oily but I think that helps in moisturising such a delicate area.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we have the Cleansing cream. I use this product after a face wipe just to remove any tough makeup but later go in with this. It's a light creamy consistency with a mild scent. It keep my face feeling moisturised and clean.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I never used to use a toner after my cleanser just because I thought it's an unnecessary step to keeping clean and clear skin. Although after buying it on a 3 for 2 offer I had to use it. The toner is not drying at all and defiantly removes every last dirt trapped in the pores.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I finish off my skin routine with the hydrating day cream. The smell of this is light and subtle which is perfect and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I usually have a problem with branded day creams because my eczema prone skin is always irritated by them or it's just not hydrating enough. But after a long day at university, my skin doesn't need another layer of cream to keep me going through the day.</div>

How are we already in February?! I still remember getting excited about Christmas. Why does time fly so fast! So let's get started on my monthly favourites.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGbhHuwnbFsileYlSolXgFzZH4JLr0FVRxQ4_38gDEwG8jgVvO35V-UTVTQKhnWnhSp-AjRYkw8ojO2B2XTjCRWZb3Y3RWA_OtrRgGM-oq620f3kL3gIy3m-QsFfU8bsB7kstRzpgNsck/s1600/IMG_5479editted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGbhHuwnbFsileYlSolXgFzZH4JLr0FVRxQ4_38gDEwG8jgVvO35V-UTVTQKhnWnhSp-AjRYkw8ojO2B2XTjCRWZb3Y3RWA_OtrRgGM-oq620f3kL3gIy3m-QsFfU8bsB7kstRzpgNsck/s1600/IMG_5479editted.jpg" height="380" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First on the list is Foundation. L'Oreal's Eau De Teint is amazing. That velvet-y feel on the skin just makes me want to apply layers upon layers. It's lightweight, leaves a powder finish and has a SPF 18. It gives such a flawless finish. I have been wearing this every day to university and I don't think I want to try any other foundations until this one finishes right to the end. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/loreal/loreal-eau-de-teint-foundation-golden-sand/invt/764259&bklist=" target="_blank">This lovely potion in a bottle, retails for £9.99 in Superdrug. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BABY SKIN. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW KNOW. (Know the song?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Maybelline's Baby Skin isn't a primer like POREfessional. This is mostly a silicone primer which smudges your pore's away. I haven't found an absolute difference between not using this primer and using it. Although I have noticed that my foundation does glide on better and blends in quicker, which is a plus for me as I don't have time to keep on blending. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/face-make-up/maybelline-baby-skin-primer/invt/839263&bklist=" target="_blank">Still worth it as it's only £7.99.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get rid of them wrinkles. Eye Creams/Gel are a must in any girl's makeup bag. It helps when you're concealing the eyes and leaves a smooth finish. The Body Shop's eye cream is unperfumed, lightweight and de-puffs those eyes from a night out on the town. <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/whats-hot/best-sellers/elderflower-unperfumed-eye-gel.aspx" target="_blank">Retails for £7.00</a>. A little steep for a basic eye gel but does the job well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flutter them lashes with Revlon's Lash Potion. I prefer the plastic wand when applying mascara, like the Maybelline's Rocket, but this is amazing for a bristle wand. The non-waterproof holds my lashes in place and there is no fall out whatsoever which is normally a big problem for me. I actually bought this for £5 as it was on offer after Christmas. <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/eye-make-up/revlon-grow-luscious-mascara-blackest-black/invt/667150" target="_blank">But it's usually £9.99.</a><br />
<br />
And last but not least, PERFUME! Oh and not any kind, oh no no no, it's the Katy Perry Killer Queen. Ever since buying this, it's been my scent every single day. It's sweet and mature at the same time much more mature than her first ever perfume Purr. The only thing I don't like about it is that I thought there would be some sort of holder for the perfume, just because it just lies on the table and get's in the way. Apart from that it is AMAZINGGG. Usually retails for <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/fragrance-for-her/katy-perry-killer-queen-50ml-edp/invt/775863&bklist=" target="_blank">£29.00 for the 50ml</a>, but it's sometimes on offer in <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Katy-Perry-Killer-Queen-Eau-de-Parfum-50ml_1374496/" target="_blank">Boots</a> so always be on the lookout.<br />
<br />
What's been you're January Favourites and what are you looking forward too?<br />
