<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Recently I was very lucky to have a Voxbox from Influenster land on my doorstep. Influenster is an app/website you can sign up to and review your favourite products, occasionally you might be picked for campaigns as well, where Voxbox's are sent complimentary to review.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Inside this particular Voxbox was two of the Marc Jacobs Matte Highliners. As Marc Jacobs Beauty is found in the London, John Lewis store. I've not yet managed to try anything from the range. As I like to have a good browse in person when I try new brands. This has been perfect to see what all the hype has been about, when it comes to Marc Jacobs Beauty.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;">I was given two shades to try. They are <a href="https://m.johnlewis.com/marc-jacobs-matte-highliner-gel-eye-crayon/earthquake/p3153276" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">(Earth)quake</a>; a cool toned dark brown and <a href="https://m.johnlewis.com/marc-jacobs-matte-highliner-gel-eye-crayon/pink-of-me/p3153276" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pink Of Me</a>; a pale baby pink.

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: normal;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;">When they promise a matte finish as well, they do not dissapoint. Plus they're also a waterproof formula.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf2ybgQcjQ7yeMiCWAJHMfBFiqeSavy83iPR0oMFFR5OiJVuERDTDecVZT8B4u9JZUHDTESp9ep69xB1sbYNcH8i7Ptk947dK7NA8PkvucFpCG6yWLSN8uS7rYoKm3vJFT7TANrLnOhE-x/s1600/IMG_0245.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf2ybgQcjQ7yeMiCWAJHMfBFiqeSavy83iPR0oMFFR5OiJVuERDTDecVZT8B4u9JZUHDTESp9ep69xB1sbYNcH8i7Ptk947dK7NA8PkvucFpCG6yWLSN8uS7rYoKm3vJFT7TANrLnOhE-x/s1600/IMG_0245.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;">They are a gel formulation rather than a cream based pencil. However they still glide onto the skin, with </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">no drag on the eye's at all. As they're so rich in pigment, you really get a bold application of colour while using such minimal effort. But you can blend them out beautifully, to make them more subtle if desired.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">As the tip of the pencil is tapered off, you can be quite precise and really get into the lash line with them too. The packaging is retractable, so there's no need to hunt for the constantly disappearing sharpener! (I'm sure they go to live with the bobby pins!)</span> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCiL65SMj3BeU-Pf5pzRLLgIbqbTryGwYo7Xx1D3O80jPWQTq-zgpFYlwSVP2vRT8ultoGVsmmBN9KyCS36hTGvTjq8wQGZj2LjKUvnuKyiu-lsKKuNVfUCOqCjDVRNgMfkkUv082WfIrk/s1600/IMG_0247.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCiL65SMj3BeU-Pf5pzRLLgIbqbTryGwYo7Xx1D3O80jPWQTq-zgpFYlwSVP2vRT8ultoGVsmmBN9KyCS36hTGvTjq8wQGZj2LjKUvnuKyiu-lsKKuNVfUCOqCjDVRNgMfkkUv082WfIrk/s1600/IMG_0247.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I created an eye look using both shades, (Earth)quake and Pink Of Me. I wanted to really test what these pencils can do.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I started by applying (Earth)quake into the crease and blending it out, to create depth to the eye. I then applied a little bit to the outer corner, blending out towards the crease. I applied Illamasqua's Stealth all over the lid, as well as a tiny bit of Wolf into the crease. However I didnt want to set all of the pencil in the crease, just to see how it lasted. So I only applied Wolf to add a little bit of warmth in the socket. I also applied a little bit of Pink Of Me to my inner corner, blending it with my ring finger, just to brighten the eye.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I then took (Earth)quake across my lash line, just smudging the edges slightly. As well as running Pink Of Me through my waterline and applying a coat of Illamasqua Masquara in Gain to my lashes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
I'm also wearing Illamasqua's Antimatter Lipstick in Bang.<br />

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">They claim to wear for twelve hours. I had that makeup on for six and I was pleasantly surprised by how it lasted. I fully expected the liner in my crease to of well creased and be a bit of a mess. It wasnt! It actually still looked like just how I applied it. Granted the liner in my waterline had dissapeared a little, although some of it did remain in the centre of my eye. Once these set they really do not budge. But removal </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">wasn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> a pain either, I used an oil based makeup remover and it came off like a dream. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I actually cant wait to get to London now and pick up more shades. (Brown)ie is next on the list!</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey,</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's safe to say I'm a teeny weeny bit obsessed with Illamasqua, I have been for years. Over this time I've collected quite the personal collection of their lipsticks, some of which are now holy grails or have been repurchased for my pro kit too.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am guilty of always reaching for the exact same shade in particular from Illamasqua. So I'm hoping by getting them all out I can encourage myself to use more than just nude.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Especially as after the past year I've bought quite a few new lllamasqua lipsticks as a pick me up treat, but as I hadn't been wearing makeup they're not been used as much as they would of been. So I'm determined to experiment more because they're absolutely stunning! As well as offering a brilliant formulation range, you really </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">don't</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> need a lot to get a bold lip though, as they really make a statement with their pigmentation. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Illamasqua offer four different formulations;</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Original - Matte finish, highly pigmented.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Glamore - High pigment, moisturising, satin finish. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Antimatter - A semi matte finish, highly pigmented but c</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">omfortable. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lava - Highly pigmented marbled satin lipsticks.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They do also offer liquid lipsticks, however this post would be ridiculously long, so I'm only talking about the traditional lipsticks. However just let me know if you're interested in their other lip products. I can say as someone who's not a lip gloss fan, Illamasqua will completely change your mind on that!</span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Activist - A marbled bright pink, from the Lava range, it has a mixture of blues and teals running through it. This one was limited edition and a part of the <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2016/06/illamasqua-hypnotica.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hypnotica Collection</a>. </span></li>

<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Vendetta - A cool toned bright blue Glamore. This may be one of my secret favourite lipsticks, granted not one I get a lot of wear out of, but I fell in love with it from the <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2015/05/illamasqua-to-be-alive.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">To Be Alive Collection</a>.

</div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey,</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I dont know what it is about January, probably the whole New Year New Start thing. But it makes me want to just redecorate, reorganise, basically any excuse to have a good browse at all the gorgeous homeware pieces. One of my favourite stores to do that on aswell is Oliver Bonas...</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So I've compiled together a list of reasonable and well, not so reasonable things that I'm currently lusting over. I mean a girl can dream!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGEVDTE2M6Qqo_QX4qZugHyXhhgctiGFlxh84daeXkBdSeBouCWkUWEPs-c7N1DE2EiPUbJ1ES0CSBWzDIdwJuK6VBhUe2Gv9_ESUe68NbB2g6dyrXLc7Kx2x8u6R1piFlUOw6S0Suyh7/s1600/oliverbonaswishlist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="945" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGEVDTE2M6Qqo_QX4qZugHyXhhgctiGFlxh84daeXkBdSeBouCWkUWEPs-c7N1DE2EiPUbJ1ES0CSBWzDIdwJuK6VBhUe2Gv9_ESUe68NbB2g6dyrXLc7Kx2x8u6R1piFlUOw6S0Suyh7/s1600/oliverbonaswishlist.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I must admit, I'm partial to the odd gin and tonic. I fell head over heels in love with an Oliver Bonas Bar Cart because of course I *need* one of those! However it's since disappeared (insert sad face here). However If I had managed to get my mitts on one, I'd of decked it out with the <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/marble-copper-bar-tools-set" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Marble and Copper Bar Tools Set</a> - £60. Though to make sure I actually have any idea what to actually do with it, I'd also probably invest in the <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/gin-shake-muddle-book" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gin Shake Muddle and Stir Book</a> - £9.99 too. Though this looks like such a great book to have anyway if you're a gin fan and there's even a rum one too now.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I also love the design of the <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/abstract-confetti-carafe" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Abstract Confetti Carafe</a> - £15. I do admit I have no idea why I need a carafe, I'd probably end up using it for flowers. Although seeing as the <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/haze-small-vase" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Haze Small Vase</a> - £16, is actually designed for flowers. It's probably the better investment, I love this wider style of vase for rose's or peony's.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Furniture wise, it's easy to get carried away on Oliver Bonas. They do such stunning pieces, like the <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/hudson-pouffe-52944" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hudson Pouffe</a> - £195, I'm sure <a href="https://www.theannaedit.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Anna Edit</a> has this and it looks great with her dressing table. My totally ridiculous furniture want is the <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/furniture/margot-hallway-bench" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Margot Hallway Bench</a> - £395. Mainly as I dont have a halway to put it in, I just love the style of it though, even if it does come with the eye watering price tag.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm very tempted to pick up the <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/wire-shelf-with-hooks-43480" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wire Shelf with Hooks</a> - £25 to keep bags on. The shelf would be great for my handbag and then I seem to have a thing for crossbody bags, which could be stored on the hooks.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally Oliver Bonas are great for little trinket bits like the <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/jewellery/ring-holder-jewel-54753#selection=color:Pink__69;size:Small__401" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jewel Pink Small Resin Ring Holder</a> - £5. It looks a lot more expensive than it actually is and is handy to keep rings on at the bedside. Also a luxurious wish is the <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/marble-brass-oil-burner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Marble and Brass Oil Burner</a> - £28, I prefer wax melts over candles and this burner is by far the most gorgeous one I've ever seen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Firstly sorry to bombard you with haul after haul. I'm just very </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">conscious</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> that things tend to sell out rather quick and I'd hate to post about something for someone then to want it and not be able to get their hands on it. I promise there's lot's of non shopping obsessed posts to come! Apart from a Topshop post, as I didn't want to add it all to this one, so keep an eye out for a more fashion related post from me for once! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've gone a wee bit nuts this Boxing Day, but I'm really pleased to of managed to get mainly items I've been eyeing up for months.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My name is Eloise and I'm a Cath Kidston Mug Addict. I've calmed it down over the years, bar the disney purchases. But I do love a Christmas mug. I didnt really like last years design, so I left it. But this years <a href="https://www.cathkidston.com/search/go?view=grid&w=Christmas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Polar Bear Mug</a> - £7.50 (NOW £5) was too adorable to pass up on.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I also fell in love with my first ever <a href="https://www.cathkidston.com/search/go?view=grid&w=Christmas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cath Kidston Snow Globe</a> - £30 (NOW £15), again in the Polar Bear design. I promise not to get addicted to collecting you! I also grabbed the <a href="https://www.cathkidston.com/search/go?view=grid&w=Christmas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Polar Bear Christmas Organiser</a> - £25 (NOW £10) to put away for next year, as I must admit I was far from organised this Christmas and I'm determined to get things together next year. I'm glad I only paid £10 for it though, as it's really just a lot of note pages, there are some cute little stickers and handy pockets to store things in though. As well as an address book and recipe pages, for you to add to, so it is at least a little bit more interactive than I first thought when I opened it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The trusty Boots half price sale, how can you say no... I cant say there was a lot in the Boots gifting range that really took my fancy. But I did really like the scents Zoella Lifestyle released this year. So </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I added the <a href="http://www.boots.com/zoella-cosy-christmas-candle-10234850" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cosy Christmas Candle</a> - £12.50 (NOW £6.25) and the <a href="http://www.boots.com/zoella-cosy-christmas--reed-diffuser-10234849" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Reed Diffuser</a> - £14 (NOW £7) to my basket. I'm not usually one for foodie sweet candle scents at all either, but the subtle vanilla scent of Festive Cookie is actually quite appealing. So I also grabbed the <a href="http://www.boots.com/zoella-festive-cookie-candle-10234854" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Candle</a> - £12.50 (NOW £6.25) and the matching <a href="http://www.boots.com/zoella-festive-cookie-reed-diffuser-10234855" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Diffuser</a> -£14 (NOW £7) in this scent too.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think the design of Zoella's Lifestyle gifting range this year was the best yet. The dark green and golden accents are festive, yet the palm leaf design of the <a href="http://www.boots.com/zoella-journal-10234856" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Journal</a> -£14 (now £7) makes it perfect for all year round. Plus they're just massive journals and have well spaced lines inside.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Superdrug know how to have a sale. I kicked myself last year for buying everything beforehand when I saw how much they reduced things by. So I took the risk and put off</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">, buying a few of their bigger items, in the hope I'd get a better bargain the year. I'm glad I did, as I cant believe the <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-Treasure-Me-Pampering-Gift-Collection/p/738892" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zoella Treasure Me Pamper Collection</a> - £40 (NOW £19.99) has gone down half price. I have a post that details everything inside, <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2017/12/zoella-gifting-2017-snowella.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also in the sale is Zoella's, <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-You%27re-Cracking-Xmas-Cracker-Bathing-Set/p/738901" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">You're Cracking Christmas Cracker</a> - £12 (NOW £4.99) which include, her Winter Wonder hand cream, Snow Fresh body wash and Snow Silky body lotion.

I'm not usually a fan of double ended brushes, they're an absolute nightmare to store, but at this price and as they're Real Techniques I'll make an exception. I really like the looks of the dense spotlight brush for highlighting though.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I finally picked up both of Tanya Burr's Palettes. The <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-A-Season-To-Sparkle%2C-Day-Palette/p/738785" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Day Season to Sparkle Palette</a> - £18 (NOW £6.99). The more natural glowy one or the two, with liquid illuminator, Champagne Cream shadow stick, a lip gloss in the shade Sweet Sundae and an eye shadow trio. Which consists of a shimmery vanilla apptly named Vanilla Pod, a warm golden shimmer; Honey Truffle and a cool matte brown in Toasted Coconut.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then there's the <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-Jingle-and-Mingle-Night-Palette/p/738796" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Night Jingle and Mingle Palette</a> - £18 (Now £6.99), the more dramatic kit. Again it contains a lip gloss in French Fancy and another eye shadow trio. This time more purple in tone, Frosted Violet; a glitzy taupe. Latte Love; a warm matte brown and Chocolate Drop; a purple toned matte brown. There's also a bronzer in Toffee Crunch, a standard black eye liner and a fun little pot of silver glitter in Silver Ice. Superdrug actually have loads of Tanya's range in the sale, I reviewed it - <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2017/12/tanya-burr-beauty-and-feast.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>, If you fancy a peek.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I usually go nuts in the Illamasqua sale, so I cannot believe I only picked up two products this year. I must admit its mainly because I seem to have most of the sale items already, I'm adicted I know! I made my purchases through the Cult Beauty website this year too. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I got a new <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/sketch-stick-fly/11291377.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fly Sketch Stick</a> - £15 (now £7.50) as I damaged the one I have and I love it for fun eye looks.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The only other product I grabbed was the Powder Shadow in <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/illamasqua-powder-eye-shadow-forgiveness-2g/11540327.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Forgiveness</a> - £17 (now £8.50) which is a purple toned chocolate brown matte shade. I did get another item, (I'll review soon), which was full price. So as I spent £50, they also gave me a free makeup bag, filled with a full size Prescision Gel Liner, Hydraveil, Gel Sculpt in Silhouette and a full size Climax Lipstick.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Kinda </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">completely</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> randomly I also picked up the Aromatherapy Associates Space Nk Bauble- £10 (now £5) as it was too good a deal to mess for a vial or the Support oil and I've completely forgotten to photograph it! But if you see it in Space NK, definitely grab it! </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well I'm all shopped out now for quite a while.. Though it's perfectly alright to have a browse through other boxing day sale hauls right...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey,</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">I did it, I braced the Lush Boxing Day Sale. It's a bit of a controversial subject this year, as they did only hold it in store and not online. Personally I much prefer to shop it in store every year. Mainly because my local Lush store is amazing to me all year round. Their staff have been extremely kind to me over the years and I have to say a massive thank you to Iain especially as he actually put a few bits and pieces in a basket aside for me. As he knows I haven't kept well this year and didn't want me to miss out on </span><span style="line-height: 16px;">the couple of things I really wanted if I couldn't make it in for the 9am start.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9lGr2juQkhEhwgbSUqUDZ6r0sbSMJuUDxY3Fqk6zg8ryh7LdZSmsOt1KDNWkhIy0WzWRI9kLuy_LM-NFein9nU7nrctvUCbc54wDEYFcD3JoMzLLKmpmkOEOgQnfl9E-PoNMlVUnVNJhp/s1600/IMG_0189.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9lGr2juQkhEhwgbSUqUDZ6r0sbSMJuUDxY3Fqk6zg8ryh7LdZSmsOt1KDNWkhIy0WzWRI9kLuy_LM-NFein9nU7nrctvUCbc54wDEYFcD3JoMzLLKmpmkOEOgQnfl9E-PoNMlVUnVNJhp/s1600/IMG_0189.JPG" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is probably something I'm not sure I should admit haha, but I stock piled the Christmas range so much last year, that I've hardly gotten through it. I mainly always get bath products, but unfortunately this year I've had to swap my usual relaxing bath for showers as it was too painful for me to lie in the bath. Hopefully when I'm starting to feel better I can crack out all of last years haul too and get on with using them up.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has meant however, that the classic Christmas products I would usually stock up on in the Boxing Day Sale I haven't really needed. So I've really just gone for the new releases I really fell in love with this year.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBbLD_D4WUubPLtnSNpgh8YPKbRq4Urpt44fBaPSsV6_0m3PLzmW8UUW-gag5_6oUDHeeSHB6cRXVIhRYKqUsWMV5Z7SZKmcyXjZ5sbRYVB7_RebOdOJDLOPHJV6qaInekY4KjNr7FDC7x/s1600/IMG_0190.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBbLD_D4WUubPLtnSNpgh8YPKbRq4Urpt44fBaPSsV6_0m3PLzmW8UUW-gag5_6oUDHeeSHB6cRXVIhRYKqUsWMV5Z7SZKmcyXjZ5sbRYVB7_RebOdOJDLOPHJV6qaInekY4KjNr7FDC7x/s1600/IMG_0190.JPG" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think its safe to say Sherbet Dip is probably my favourite bath bomb this year. I just love the concept behind it and its refreshing scent. So I did go just a teeny bit nuts on the Sherbet Dip front...</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">I couldn't resist stock piling a couple of the Snow Fairy Jelly Bombs too. </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">Controversially</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> I'm not the biggest fan of Snow Fairy, but I actually prefer it in this form over the shower Gel. I tried not to go too nuts with this one though, just as it is a wee bit of a pain in the neck to clean out of the bath.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I also grabbed a Plum Snow Bubble Bar, as Plum Rain is my favourite permanent shower gel scent that Lush do. As well as a last minute add to the basket in the form of Never Mind the Ballistics, mainly because I'd just used one on Christmas Eve and couldn't bear the thought of having one less in my stash.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love a Lush Christmas tin. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have a couple sat in my bathroom already, protecting my current to be used up stash. I love the traditional design of Seasons Greetings and I love the goodies it house's inside. Which include Christmas Sweater, Sherbet Dip and Thundersnow Bath Bombs. The Snowman Bubbleroon, Two Front Teeth and The Man on the Moon Bubble Bars. If you'd like a little more info on them all, I have a post <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2017/12/lush-christmas-2017-part-one.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>, that rounds up all the bath products from the 2017 </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Christmas Range.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A bit of a go on treat yourself purchase was the Secret Garden Gift Set. My all time favourite Lush Christmas Scent is Rose Jam. So when I saw this combined with Twilight, I couldn't resist. I swear by Twilight to help me sleep, so to have a great little selection of Sleepy Body Lotion, Twilight Shower Gel and the Lavender Vida Loca Soap on hand. I know If I need that extra help to get to sleep I've got it. I'm excited to try the soap too as that's one thing I've never picked up.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">It also includes Rose Jam Shower Gel, Buffy Body Butter, my favourite shampoo bar; Jason and the Argan Oil and the Ro's Argan Body Conditioner. Which again I've never tried, so that </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">completely</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> sold it for me, as I always put off purchasing it, as it is a slightly more expensive lush product.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">I grabbed a bigger bottle of Twilight Shower Gel too, just for </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">emergencies</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> haha. Plus I loved the Berry Berry Christmas Shower Gel scent this year, plus its glittery and I'm a sucker for glitter. (The </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">second</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> half of my Lush roundup which covers what each scent is like for the soaps and shower gels is <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2017/12/lush-christmas-2017-part-two.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a> if you're </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">interested</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> in what they're </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">like.)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I really liked the scents of the Bucks Fizz Body Conditioner this year too. It's sweet but refreshing with its orange base notes. But I also went for a big tub of Once Upon a time too, as So White is a favourite scent that they hardly do anymore. So I jumped at the chance to have the crisp apple smell back in my life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I got back ups of the Twilight and Snow Fairy Sparkle Jars, as I'm paranoid they're going to run out really quickly in their new solid form. Which is probably far from the case, but just in case!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then finally for similar reasons, I got the Sugar Plum Fairy and Santa Baby Lip Scrubs as backups. As again I'm not sure how quickly you go through these new naked forms.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I also picked up the Shades of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh lip block. Which I know in my Christmas Round up, I said I wasn't really that interested in. When I saw it in store, I couldn't resist it's gold shimmering goodness. I've not tried any of the lush makeup in this form, so I'm intrigued to see how good it is.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Lush Sale is still available until January 7th in stores or until stocks last. My local, Lush Buchanan Street still had lots left when I popped in, so if you fancy a couple of things be quick just in case!</span></div>

<br />
Firstly Happy New Year! Here's to hopefully a wonderful 2018!! Plus I just want to say a massive belated Merry Christmas too and I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday!<br />
<br />
I love reading everyone's What I Got for Christmas posts. It's probably<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">because I'm really nosey and love a good snoop at all the makeup goodies especially! I was well and truly </span></span>spoiled<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> this year, with such generous gifts from my Parents and Family, I can't thank everyone enough for everything I </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">received</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">.</span></span><br />
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeH-zqk_1n3s1ykezyz8JdwEYsx3_ojvbROg-ytvT2XmXhjWMAkV0V5pWI7Co9yftouLACFkZ4yccgU-q3bRUzremLitMkjwmqZN_222Ihyphenhyphen24rcNeWIQR0gaGZG80ygDczb0r9nk6qJIhW/s1600/IMG_0188.JPG" /><span style="font-family: inherit;">I just want to add the usual Christmas not bragging disclaimer, I just genuinely love to see what everyone else gets and I'm extremely thankful for all of my lovely gifts.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So if these types of posts aren't really you're thing, then you'll probably just want to skip this one please.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">My Mum very kindly got me an engraved bottle of <a href="https://uk.burberry.com/my-burberry-blush-eau-de-parfum-90ml-p40493291" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">My Burberry Blush</a>, to match my bottle of my Burberry. I wear the original constantly, its probably my Signature scent. The blush is sweeter, with notes of </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">pomegranate</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">, lemon, apple, jasmine and my favourite rose.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I also got the <a href="https://m.johnlewis.com/babyliss-8875u-true-smooth-ipl-radiance-200-hair-remover/p3349928" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Babyliss True Smooth IPL Hair Remover</a>, very glamorous! Haha, but I absolutely love it. The thought of not having to constantly shave my legs fills me with sheer delight. I'll probably do a full review on this, as IPL is quite an investment but hopefully totally worth it in the long run.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My little brother picked the <a href="https://www.kiehls.co.uk/new/new/just-arrived/disney-creme-de-corps-limited-edition-holiday-2017/UK-00090-KHL.html#start=3&cgid=gifts-under-50GBP" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kiehl's Disney Creme De Corps</a>. Which credit where credit is due, I didn't think he usually paid that much attention. But l've been desperate to try this ever so popular body moisturiser and how can you not love a festive Micky Mouse.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">I could of jumped for joy upon opening the </span></span><a href="https://styltom.com/products/stylpro-expert-makeup-brush-cleaner-and-dryer" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stylpro</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><a href="https://styltom.com/products/stylpro-expert-makeup-brush-cleaner-and-dryer" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Expert</a>. I </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">don't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> know what it is about cleaning my personal brushes, but the thought of it makes me want to cry. Yet hand me my work 1 kit brushes and I'll clean them to my heart's content. I </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">don't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> know If it's because I'm all brush cleaned out after them, but I really neglect my personal brushes a bit too often. </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">However</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> I can honestly say now, I've never been so excited to clean my brushes in my whole entire life haha!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's no secret I'm Illamasqua obsessed, so my Dad got me the <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/illamusthaves-gift-set/11581358.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Illamusthaves</a> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">set. Which is filled with some of my all time favourites in the most adorable minis. </span>Masquara<span style="font-family: inherit;">, Hydraveil, Gel Liner and Gel Sculpt, now I can travel easily with all my holy grails by my side. I also received the <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/powder-eye-shadow-shiver/11534897.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shiver Palette</a>, a stunning cool toned colourful eight pan eyeshadow palette. I'll pop up a full review of this soon, with its warmer counter part too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">A little fun fact, I love Lego! Makeup, Ikea and Lego, those three are like music to my ears. Haha. So to </span><span style="line-height: 16px;">receive</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"> these Batman Lego sets, well I'm already dreading finishing building the <a href="https://shop.lego.com/en-GB/The-Joker-Notorious-Lowrider-70906" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Joker Low Rider</a>.

<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I spend a lot of my time being all cosy nowadays. So I'm over the moon at the thought of wrapping up in my <a href="http://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0412758001.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">H&M Star Fleeced Blanket</a>, with the <a href="http://www.boots.com/zoella-catching-zzz-s-10234848" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zoella Catching ZZZ's Hot Water Bottle</a> and <a href="http://www.disneystore.co.uk/rex-large-soft-toy-toy-story-412325739891.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rex</a> by my side.

My Dad also got me the most stunning <a href="http://www.foliosociety.com/book/PW2/peter-pan-and-wendy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Peter Pan and Wendy Illustrated Book</a> from the Folio Society. I almost feel awful reading it though incase I ruin it.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">I also wanted to give a little mention to a local small business that I was lucky enough to </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">receive</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> some gifts from, from </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">various family members. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/aliscissorspaperstones/?fref=ts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Scissors Paper Stones</a> is a gift shop here in Glasgow, that I've purchased from over the years. Ali makes the </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">loveliest</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> personalised gifts and homewares, a lot of my little trinkets and things in my blog photo's have come from her. I've linked to her Facebook Page. I would really </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">recommend</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> checking it out if you're looking for really nice quality handmade or personalised gifts. (The wax melts are to die for) I'm sure If anything took your fancy, Ali would happily ship to you. But if you're a fellow Glaswegian and on the South side, pop in and take a peek for yourself, You wont be </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">disappointed</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally I was kindly given the best Converse I've ever seen, <a href="https://www.office.co.uk/view/product/office_catalog/5,21/2452093412" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rose Gold Low Leather Sneakers</a>. I think they'll be great to dress up or down, plus they're really comfy. Speaking of comfy, I also recieved a pair of <a href="https://www.jackwills.com/redbrook-leggings-100011696002.html#q=Leggings&start=3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jack Wills Redbrook Leggings</a>. I get biological drug transfusions every two months for my Crohns disease. They're not the most thrilling of experiences as It's just being sat in a chair for hours hooked up to an IV. So I like to be comfy, especially as I seem to have a thing for passing out due to my needle phobia. Yay! So a pair of really comfy leggings is so grately appreciated. Then when I get home I can get even comfier in my <a href="http://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0459230008.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mickey Mouse Pyjamas</a>!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A huge, huge thank you to all of my family for being so generous gifting me these thoughtful gifts. I'll try and get all my reviews up asap too!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">

<br />
I've been kinda bad, for two reasons... I was suppose to be on a spending ban, which I admit lasted all of two minutes. Hey, if you cant treat yourself when you're sick, when can you! (Let's just pretend that Dr's prescribe retail therapy..) Not only that, but the spending ban fail was caused by this palette in particular. I've actually had it for a few months now, I purchased it back when the prelaunch was announced in September. But as it's so utterly insanely gorgeous and as I had kinda given up on makeup for a few months as steroids reek havoc with your skin. It's been sat in its also equally stunning gift box (bar the odd necessary photoshoot of course!), until I finally bit the bullet and ruined its pristine perfection.<br />

I haven't really tried much from Charlotte Tilbury, I've wanted to for years. But I always put off the purchase in favour of something usually from Illamasqua for example. Just as in my eyes, Charlotte Tilbury is such a luxurious brand, a treat brand like Chanel or Dior.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvUXCb-05S2IN6JRsWDMlOIqnpHwtf3ApUWLizVTx6qZZZVxMyLsTX_hjLAtSGGucKIl7HtbGUr6eXSF4ZVVc0Dvzhe2D_6Krtome1Mp22ismpbu9LmIhNfbwwZ45jVMmrwCJ6oa_Eenl9/s1600/IMG_0178.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvUXCb-05S2IN6JRsWDMlOIqnpHwtf3ApUWLizVTx6qZZZVxMyLsTX_hjLAtSGGucKIl7HtbGUr6eXSF4ZVVc0Dvzhe2D_6Krtome1Mp22ismpbu9LmIhNfbwwZ45jVMmrwCJ6oa_Eenl9/s1600/IMG_0178.JPG" /></a></div>
I totally blame the packaging, it's just so awe worthy in it's rose gold signature Charlotte Tilbury style, that I always just think her products are way too pretty to actually use. They feel heavy and scream luxury when you pick them up, as the packaging is so weighty. I love the art deco theme of this palette especially. As Charlotte said herself; it was really difficult to produce due to the moulds needed to create the embossed casing, however Charlotte was so committed to the idea that she had envisioned, it was getting made exactly how she wanted no matter how many times everyone else said no.<br />
<br />
Plus dont even get me started on the gift boxes... I would really recommend going for a gift wrapped option, even if it is a treat for yourself. The gift boxes arrive so beautifully wrapped and they're really good quality sturdy boxes, that can be kept on display and used as very stunning storage.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ok well enough fan girling and onto the actual palette...<br />
<br />
It's the largest eyeshadow palette Charlotte has released to date, it contains twelve shadows, in a variation of matte and shimmer finishes. The concept behind it is that it'll give you all the shades you need to give you four different eye looks for four different occasions. Of course you can mix and match however you please as well though.<br />
<br />
The first of the four looks in the palette is the Day Eye, A trio of cool taupe tones, to give you a natural but defined eye look for everyday wear. The trio's are split into Prime, Enhance and Smoke.So unfortunately the shades themselves don't actually have names, but it's been designed this way to make the application process quick and easy. Prime the whole lid with the matte cream. Which I have to say is the most disappointing shade in the whole palette, it really doesn't carry much pigmentation at all, which is a real shame as its the only let down to the whole palette. You can then enhance the eye with the glittery taupe shade by popping that in the centre of the lid and finish it off with the matte brown smoke shade on the outer corner and crease.<br />
<br />
The Desk Eye is the warmer toned trio of the four. Personally I think this is my favourite. In this one the prime shade is a shimmer, a light champagne. Followed by the most gorgeous warm peachy matte. Finally finished off with the rich brown tones of the smoke shade.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQijmRpUsCvrTChCxNhK-ChMMQ1r19WOk7qlsQaOxfgSo32VoXZ0DkcTvxb0_05czP3ZGHJgiqJJ8tKOFOHhl283r-JuM6e47-TquSlz9BIpU_a5F5oNMfPWzgeCKIpSH1YYrqNp9OuqVv/s1600/IMG_0175.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQijmRpUsCvrTChCxNhK-ChMMQ1r19WOk7qlsQaOxfgSo32VoXZ0DkcTvxb0_05czP3ZGHJgiqJJ8tKOFOHhl283r-JuM6e47-TquSlz9BIpU_a5F5oNMfPWzgeCKIpSH1YYrqNp9OuqVv/s1600/IMG_0175.JPG" /></a></div>
Both the Date Eye and the Disco Eye sets are cooler tones again. The Date Eye is more on the pinky chocolate side. Starting with the baby pink shimmer, as well as a chocolate brown with a pink shimmer running through it and then theres the only matte in this trio; a cool dark brown matte.<br />
<br />
Disco Eye is where things start to get dramatic. Starting with a pretty golden shimmer, which is lovely as an inner corner highlight or just as your base shade. Followed up with the most stunning olive green shimmer to enhance the eye look. Then you can smoke it out using the apparently matte black shade, however I do think there's an ever so slight shimmer running through it.<br />
<br />
I'm so used to just reaching for my Illamasqua shadows all the time, that I forget to use other things. However I'm now kicking myself for not reaching for this sooner, as the pigmentation of these shadows has blown me away. The matte shades especially blend out beautifully and take hardly any effort at all. You really don't need a lot, but you can build the shades up to really intensify the look. The glitter/shimmer shades are more subtle, they're not jam packed full of glitter, but they do catch the light beautifully and are almost creamy in consistency.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh212BrXcbLZstj0VxHr8M2C1GO7l-cje2lzbl8fPQjdQ9fFSrwRrocFYsfU_Ld8pVC-6r6d9prWJquaa18JKmdHJ4sn3Lxol-gykKPcFi4CxFOit6ClsnFJBSh2Kz_9QjeplN5Kb0B80b/s1600/IMG_0177.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh212BrXcbLZstj0VxHr8M2C1GO7l-cje2lzbl8fPQjdQ9fFSrwRrocFYsfU_Ld8pVC-6r6d9prWJquaa18JKmdHJ4sn3Lxol-gykKPcFi4CxFOit6ClsnFJBSh2Kz_9QjeplN5Kb0B80b/s1600/IMG_0177.JPG" /></a></div>
I created a really soft warm eye look using the Desk Eye trio. (Excuse the brows, they need rescuing asap!) I did prep my eye with my trusty MAC Painterly Paint Pot, so that does boost the pigmentation a little bit. I applied the warm matte peachy brown to my crease, then the darker brown to the outer corner and ever so slightly through the crease. I finished it off with the shimmering champagne over the kid and inner corner. As well as a coat of Illamasqua Masquara in Gain and a slick go Powersurge Pencil from MAC in the waterline.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglyURK71Oy0ZHoyH-x0G98bz663nABkT1_OIFnA-BBE5zBtTXk29Xx8fOTKHnZ3-5a7h_qRqlge6p2gNhqsV_E195G3Vx_H9r6aA6FgrXwMrCvyTx6kNMYNs3St8wu3m6fDldQGMxeNAVa/s1600/IMG_0176.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglyURK71Oy0ZHoyH-x0G98bz663nABkT1_OIFnA-BBE5zBtTXk29Xx8fOTKHnZ3-5a7h_qRqlge6p2gNhqsV_E195G3Vx_H9r6aA6FgrXwMrCvyTx6kNMYNs3St8wu3m6fDldQGMxeNAVa/s1600/IMG_0176.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the best bits about ordering from Charlotte Tilbury too is how generous they are with samples. You get to pick two from a whole array of cosmetics and skincare and then it seems to be that when you spend so much, goodies such as Scent of a Dream and K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick samples are added to your basket too, win!</div>

<br />
This is part two of my bumper overall of all the Lush Christmas collection of 2017. If you missed it, Part One is <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2017/12/lush-christmas-2017-part-one.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>, it sums up all the bath goodies. Bath bombs, bubble bars, oils and melts galore...<br />
<br />
Part Two is everything else in the range, such as the shower gels, soaps, body care and some really exciting bits and bobs when it comes to their makeup range...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbG-5ZnZkFAYJV767QVMK4_XbVhjpI191boSxCGPmSsap60Ojhv29ny0xMOh30e7HTnDAwHvm_IOTEJO2-Zk9gmHi3g28DmaIEJUHhMpfM498jJJ5xXigHXwf8ys_HBoIiGAtn2gq2w8Wf/s1600/IMG_0165.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbG-5ZnZkFAYJV767QVMK4_XbVhjpI191boSxCGPmSsap60Ojhv29ny0xMOh30e7HTnDAwHvm_IOTEJO2-Zk9gmHi3g28DmaIEJUHhMpfM498jJJ5xXigHXwf8ys_HBoIiGAtn2gq2w8Wf/s1600/IMG_0165.JPG" /></a></div>
Lush have really come up with some innovative products this year. Including a whole solid range, most of the liquefied products that usually come in tubs and bottles have a solid alternative. This is to cut out excess packaging, which they're proving really isn't needed if you prefer the formulation of the solids. As I do admit the solid shower gels do still baffle me a bit though, haha. I'll link to both versions of the products that have a traditional and solid version.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPfaCLdcFpqJr1383MlqXodhNpkLNP7U6n0UX7qIxuyU7HXZnt-nKXVnZwv_l1uOeLgSc9zAXLfuMZUt6C9Fi0FFyvslJxZgbXHPQ44m93H3-BpcMdVuE2SIsZFyxhX2SmC4zR-n42GFNN/s1600/IMG_0166.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPfaCLdcFpqJr1383MlqXodhNpkLNP7U6n0UX7qIxuyU7HXZnt-nKXVnZwv_l1uOeLgSc9zAXLfuMZUt6C9Fi0FFyvslJxZgbXHPQ44m93H3-BpcMdVuE2SIsZFyxhX2SmC4zR-n42GFNN/s1600/IMG_0166.JPG" /></a></div>
<u>Shower Gel and Jellies...</u><br />
The shower gel I wish they did all year round is <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/shower-gels-jellies/twilight" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Twilight</a> - £9.95 (<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/twilight-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SOLID</a> - £9.75). It's soothing lavender scent is a god send when it comes to helping me sleep. It's always limited edition at Christmas time, but this one is a must have if you want a calming wash before bed or even add a bit into your bath to make lots of lavender scented bubbles.<br />
<br />
My new favourite this year is <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/berry-berry-christmas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Berry Berry Christmas</a> - £11.95 (<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/berry-berry-christmas-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SOLID</a> - £11.75). I actually have the solid version of this and although you might just think a solid shower gel is basically just a soap, they really are different. This has a thicker consistency when wet and really does lather up like a shower gel would. It's a really lovely fruity scent with its base of cranberries, blueberry and orange.<br />
<br />
The favourite of many from last year is back, <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/bubbly-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bubbly</a> - £9.95 (<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/bubbly" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SOLID</a> - £9.75). This bubbly alcohol inspired shower gel is sweet but has a fruity kick, if you love oranges then you have to get a sniff off this.<br />
<br />
Another new one to the group this year is <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/santas-christmas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Santa's Christmas</a> - £10.95 (<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/santas-christmas-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SOLID</a> - £9.75). This one again is slightly different as it's actually one of their body creams, so its formula is thicker and keeps the skin moisturised for longer compared to the usual gels. Santa's Christmas smells of cola, but is also filled with spices, its like everything about Santa in a bottle.<br />
<br />
Of course it wouldn't be a Lush Christmas without Snow Fairy and Rose Jam Shower Gels. They are back again this year but I've reviewed them <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2015/11/lush-christmas-part-two.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>. They have solid versions too, <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/rose-jam-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rose Jam</a> is £10.15 and <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/snow-fairy-2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Snow Fairy</a> is a solid bargain at £8.25.<br />
<br />
Both Santa's Belly Shower Jelly and the Snowman have returned too and are also <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2015/11/lush-christmas-part-two.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u>Soaps...</u><br />
I have to say <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/golden-pear" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Golden Pear</a> - £6.50 is one magnificent looking soap, its absolutely coated in golden glitter. So if you're not a fan of the sparkles, I would steer clear as it does get a teeny bit messy. However it's worth it for its delectable fruity pear scent and soothing aloe vera. You can even run it under the bath tap and make lots of bubbles for the bath too.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/saucy-snowcake" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Saucy Snowcake</a> - £5.40 is the beloved Snowcake reimagined with a fruity twist. Snowcake is a much loved Christmas favourite for Lush, for it's moisturising properties and soothing formulation. This year its got a berry top, with lots of cranberries and even some cashews for a bit of a scrub.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/shooting-stars-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shooting Stars</a> - £4.95 will wake you up in no time, it's so zingy, jam packed with lemon and lime. It's basically like a refresher in soap form.<br />
<br />
Then there is <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/christmas-rocker" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Christmas Rocker</a> - £4.50, another one to wake you up just maybe a teeny bit more subtly. As this time its made with apricot, mandarin and tangerine, it's literally a fruit salad in the shape of a rocking horse.<br />
<br />
To add to the ever growing Snow Fairy family this year there is the Snow Fairy Cold Pressed Soap - £5.95. The cold pressed soaps are made differently to the usual Lush Soap, as its not heated up and pure into a mould, so it retains all of its oils. This one has a dusting of glitter to finish it off and the ever so popular sweet sweet candy scent.<br />
<br />
Why is it that the Butterbear range is always way too cute to use. I feel so bad at the thought of ripping off a piece of the Butterbear Wash Card - £2, that I cant bear to use him! However these wee guys are so handy when it comes to travelling, just pack a little sheet for a couple of days and rip a bit off when needed. No more bulky shower gels and you get to smell like cocobutter!<br />
<br />
There is also Baked Alaska - <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2015/11/lush-christmas-part-two.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>, from their 2014 Christmas Collection as well as a few other new ones. If you fancy something uplifting with citrus notes of orange flower and neroli, then go for <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/snowcloud" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Snowcloud</a> - £5.70. Or if you're looking for something really fresh, especially if you were a fan of their Grass scent, then go for <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/hidden-mountain" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hidden Mountain</a> - £5.70. <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/christmas-citrus" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Christmas Citrus</a> - £5.10 is a mood lifter, bergamot, lemon and lime to refresh the system and get you ready for the day or maybe give you a bit of a boost after a heavy Christmas Day...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii_pPfckBGEsGnirtb4sGKVNyzLin977VooF3N_klaOBlbvIca_tYxpHtEVw66YLKE6wd0GPTXSojEs5y_AxSv7JZ55Ru0BAQjB1G1Nc9EGjICpgDcSiHeSwXnwnSyJSoAKJ4QASQb1Tb_/s1600/IMG_0168.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1158" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii_pPfckBGEsGnirtb4sGKVNyzLin977VooF3N_klaOBlbvIca_tYxpHtEVw66YLKE6wd0GPTXSojEs5y_AxSv7JZ55Ru0BAQjB1G1Nc9EGjICpgDcSiHeSwXnwnSyJSoAKJ4QASQb1Tb_/s1600/IMG_0168.JPG" /></a></div>
<u>Bodycare...</u><br />
The last two additions to the Snow Fairy family are here to moisture your skin and add a bit of sparkle to proceedings. <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/snow-fairy-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Snow Fairy Body Conditioner</a> - £15.95 (<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/snow-fairy-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SOLID</a> - £8.25) has returned from last year and there is also a Snow Fairy Sparkle Jar - £6.95. Which is a naked concept for the dusting powders, the jar itself is made from massage bar and you poke the holes in at the top, to find a big helping of snow fairy dusting powder hidden inside. There is also a <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/massage-bars/twilight" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Twilight Sparkle Jar</a> - £6.95 too, if you don't want to go for the sweet Snow Fairy scent and prefer the calming side to Twilight.<br />
<br />
Though back to the Body Conditioners as there are a couple of new additions in the shape of <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/bucks-fizz" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bucks Fizz Body Conditioner</a> - £8.95 (<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/bucks-fizz-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SOLID</a> - £8.75). Another boozy inspired treat, perfectly paired with bubbly due to their citrusy smells. Or if you prefer something a little bit softer, the So White inspired fragrance of apple and grapefruit in <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/once-upon-time-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Once Upon a Time Body Lotion</a> - £13.95 (<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/once-upon-time" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SOLID</a> - £7.95) makes you feel good enough to eat.<br />
<br />
There is only one Roulade this year and its <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/candy-cane-roulade" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Candy Cane Roulade</a> - £6.95. The peppermint treat is great if you find the soaps too drying for your skin, the roulades are fresh and really squidgy in feel compared to the soaps. As there is such a high content of body moisturiser inside compared to traditional soap.<br />
<br />
My favourite body conditioner has to be Christingle and it has a brand new <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/christingle" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Solid Version</a> at £9.75 too this year. It pairs perfectly with the Salt and Peppermint Bark, both of which are <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2015/11/lush-christmas-part-three.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
The only skincare item in the range this year is Buche De Noel - <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2015/11/lush-christmas-part-three.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Which personally isn't a favourite of mine just because I don't like the really nutty scent that it has. But apart from the smell it is a really lovely cleanser in itself.<br />

<u>Makeup...</u><br />
Lastly and possibly the little guys I'm most excited about this year is the naked makeup range. There are five products in total, all working together to give you some very looked after and festive lips. There is the cola flavoured <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/santa-baby-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Santa Baby Lip Scrub</a> - £5.75 (<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/lip-scrubs-balms/santa-baby-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Traditional</a> - £5.95), which is a solid scrub that you can use straight on your lips instead of putting your finger in a jar. As well as it's lip colour partner in crime <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/santa-baby" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Santa Baby Lip Tint</a> - £6.25 (<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/lip-scrubs-balms/santa-baby" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Traditional</a> - £6.50), which unfortunately my store is sold out of so I couldn't get one to show you. But its a traditional true festive red in shade.<br />
<br />
If you like a sweeter flavour and a deeper shade on your lips, there is also the <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/sugar-plum-fairy-2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sugar Plum Fairy Lip Scrub</a> - £5.75 (<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/sugar-plum-fairy-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Traditional</a> - £5.95). They do all come in these handy little cardboard matchboxes too, so you can store them easily and keep them that bit fresher. <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/sugar-plum-fairy-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sugar Plum Fairy Lip Tint</a> - £6.25 (<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/sugar-plum-fairy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Traditional</a> - £6.50) is a deep berry, I love that you can really control the shade by applying as little or as much as you want with a lip brush. You can go for a full on purple lip to a stain or wash of colour in just a few swipes.<br />
<br />
Lastly there is the <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/shades-gold-frankincense-myrrh" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shades of Gold Frankincense and Myrrh Lip Block</a> - £12.50, I didn't grab this one as I just don't really need a gold lip product. However if you fancy something a little different, or you could even apply it as a lip topper on top of other shades for a bit more sparkle. These blocks are made up of three different shades, in this case different shades of silver and gold, to mix and match and completely customise your lip wardrobe.<br />

<br />
In a previous post the other day about <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2017/12/tanya-burr-beauty-and-feast.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tanya Burr's Beauty and the Feast Collection</a>, I mentioned how much I enjoy looking out every year to see what's on offer when it comes to their Christmas gifting. But I also genuinely love to look out for Zoella's Christmas offerings as well. This year it's arrived in the form of Snowella! That name just had to be done!<br />
<br />
Zoe has actually really gone all out with this gifting range, I think its possibly the largest one she's done, with such a massive selection to choose from. Wether thats body care, fragrances or treats to make your bath a little luxurious pamper zone.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtn6R1TSm6jsrs8EEzsVYtebuQXLONkLobrwjRjCpt1yAX_6plh8d6rAxyiQFDiy9-SUjJEgHkpH1axzXtHu1_4TRxzDZYLVxXUrV-coRQb5olHbLAn5I5LGKnKGkX-ydn6-jFV5BU0dor/s1600/IMG_0156.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtn6R1TSm6jsrs8EEzsVYtebuQXLONkLobrwjRjCpt1yAX_6plh8d6rAxyiQFDiy9-SUjJEgHkpH1axzXtHu1_4TRxzDZYLVxXUrV-coRQb5olHbLAn5I5LGKnKGkX-ydn6-jFV5BU0dor/s1600/IMG_0156.JPG" /></a></div>
Ultimately they all share the same scent, which actually for me, has to be my favourite scent Zoe has ever done. I just love a fresh smell, something light and maybe a teeny tiny bit fruity or floral. Basically if it's subtle or refreshing, sign me up! The fragrance itself has the notes of Peony, Cranberry, Mint and Pink Pepper, it just makes me think of crisp white snowfall.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMt_7Sx82JcMWIzKvVPowF3xMIiuPTp3kqgefL9Fbtve1PKmEGuFtHHcYYlWWFKAxuvizZziy21TNZ8JvSRKggDlIeHM7kjdClk8tPayULjMssuVjsjCqKqLQH_XEN81SQI5Q19TwL8rWw/s1600/IMG_0157.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMt_7Sx82JcMWIzKvVPowF3xMIiuPTp3kqgefL9Fbtve1PKmEGuFtHHcYYlWWFKAxuvizZziy21TNZ8JvSRKggDlIeHM7kjdClk8tPayULjMssuVjsjCqKqLQH_XEN81SQI5Q19TwL8rWw/s1600/IMG_0157.JPG" /></a></div>
There's a couple of really large gifts in the collection. The main one being the <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-Treasure-Me-Pampering-Gift-Collection/p/738892" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Treasure Me Pampering Gift</a> - £40 (NOW £30), which is also a Superdrug exclusive. It's filled to the brim with product, though quite a few are repeated throughout the other gifts which is why I don't have one to show. But inside there is...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>2x Sachets of Splash of Milk Bath Powder 40g</li>
<li>Winter Wonder Hand Cream 90ml</li>
<li>Snow Fresh Body Wash 250ml</li>
<li>Snow Silky Body Lotion 160ml</li>
<li>Snow Polished Body Exfoliator 100ml</li>
<li>Snow Smooth Body Butter 100ml</li>
<li>Snow Scoop Bubble Bath 400ml (Exclusive)</li>
<li>A Shower Lily </li>
</ul>
<div>
One of the larger gifts I can show you inside however is the <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-No-Peeking-Christmas-Stocking-Body-Gift-Set/p/739176" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">No Peeking Christmas Stocking</a> - £30 (NOW £15). Which straight off the bat, the stocking itself isn't the most luxurious of quality , I'm not going to lie. However value for money wise if you consider the sale price, I can't really complain. The design of the stocking is lovely though, it's mainly grey felt with a faux fur white trim. There's then a trio of products tucked away inside, they're all 100ml too. Snow Fresh Body Wash, is lovely by the way, the scent does linger on the skin but doesn't strip away any moisture either. There's also the Snow Polished Body Polish, Snow Silky Body Lotion and another Shower Puff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtu2SAQN__WTFm_HmeGO-QUuy-7cLLheROkofLjE0q_hGYriR-yngwE44M0h5QuotWqfPCkryzwZvi9Y45H_ngoTRYt10JP_O6MjHrGz9VKEh3unK9lBvMWyU_0fJXmR-l7tvtCiMXTYlD/s1600/IMG_0158.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtu2SAQN__WTFm_HmeGO-QUuy-7cLLheROkofLjE0q_hGYriR-yngwE44M0h5QuotWqfPCkryzwZvi9Y45H_ngoTRYt10JP_O6MjHrGz9VKEh3unK9lBvMWyU_0fJXmR-l7tvtCiMXTYlD/s1600/IMG_0158.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
<a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-Im-Dreaming-of-a-Bath-Filled-with-Bubbles/p/738875" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">I'm Dreaming of a Bath Filled with Bubbles</a> - £14 (NOW £12) would be great for anyone who loves a relaxing pamper in the bath. Complete with fluffy bow headband and a pair of exfoliating gloves, the cutest mini Snow Bubbly Bubble Bath 100ml and a lightweight, fast drying body lotion; Snow Silky 100ml.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The little body care duo is <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Sparry-Night/p/738889" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SPA'rry SPA'rry Night</a> - £11 (NOW £5). A great little secret santa gift or even just to stock up on some travel size goodies, especially the Snow Smooth Body Butter 100ml, plus a Snow Polished Body Polish 100ml to prep.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is also a giant cracker in the range, apply named <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-You%27re-Cracking-Xmas-Cracker-Bathing-Set/p/738901" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">You're Cracking Xmas Cracker</a> - £12 (NOW £10). Which has Winter Wonder Hand Cream 90ml, Snow Fresh Body Wash 100ml and Snow Silky Body Lotion 100ml hidden inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGI6sWf9OOw5ZrJbwWKCAidC8Ts8Ol0dz6OCJhYpnIWcoCn49YGwp5RoW5oBmwebkygphJ3OJ5BJgjoWMEkXxeomIFlX0i-SA4jgYwuHy3UMN-Rxp_HXfll6h6V9Jwc8YT_fITK8JQql8O/s1600/IMG_0159.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGI6sWf9OOw5ZrJbwWKCAidC8Ts8Ol0dz6OCJhYpnIWcoCn49YGwp5RoW5oBmwebkygphJ3OJ5BJgjoWMEkXxeomIFlX0i-SA4jgYwuHy3UMN-Rxp_HXfll6h6V9Jwc8YT_fITK8JQql8O/s1600/IMG_0159.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
For more individual bathing treats there's a great wee choice. Wether you like something soothing, bubbly or a bit of fizz, there's an option for everyone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Zoe's bubble baths are one of my favourite products she has, I've gone through so many bottles of the original, its nuts. It just creates so many bubbles with such little amount of product actually required. This year's winter option is <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-Merry-and-Bright-Shimmer-Bubble-Bath/p/738876" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Merry & Bright Shimmer Bubble Bath</a> - £10 (NOW £6), which lives in the most stunning glass decanter style bottle. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you like a bath bomb, go for the <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-Snow-Relaxed-Snowflake-Bath-Fizzers/p/739178" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Snow Relaxed Bath Fizzers</a> - £8 (NOW £4). You get two big flat snowflakes inside. I wouldn't go as far to say that they're as magical as a Lush bath bomb for example, they do just kind of fizz away and leave the fragrance behind, so I do prefer to pair them with something else.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you're not fussed about the bubble and fizz, maybe fancy a more moisturising formulation. Then I love this pack of bath milks and tea bags! <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-Brew-Me-a-Bath-Splash-Of-Milk-Bath-Treats/p/739174" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brew Me a Bath Splash of Milk Treats</a> - £14 (NOW £7) It's just such a fun concept. Use them separately to combine a sachet of the milk powder, while running a tea bag under the tap to create a soothing milky bath. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpuzWaL_J9EeqqGtvHsrE4Wt5AOKgxWUowq8SX-_63cJoY2PSpyFs5cw2r5zV2Cyeob1SDtKSlXC446bC7ZvxSlgOctJ2Crm6wmb6HT5aBG5BudBDmX1aNh7KY0NUrlY32-4ndCsFj0Ubi/s1600/IMG_0160.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpuzWaL_J9EeqqGtvHsrE4Wt5AOKgxWUowq8SX-_63cJoY2PSpyFs5cw2r5zV2Cyeob1SDtKSlXC446bC7ZvxSlgOctJ2Crm6wmb6HT5aBG5BudBDmX1aNh7KY0NUrlY32-4ndCsFj0Ubi/s1600/IMG_0160.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
If you're on the hunt for a few little stocking fillers, these little guys tick that box...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another personal favourite item of mine is Zoe's hand creams. Just as the formulation is lightweight, fast absorbing and not sticky in the slightest, all while still leaving your hands nicely moisturised. <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-Hand-Cream-Winter-Wonder-Hand-90ml/p/738900" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Winter Wonder Hand</a> - £6 (NOW £3) is no exception to that, plus it's such a generous size at 90ml!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There's a little makeup bag this year, <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-A-Winter-Soiree-All-Is-Bright-Makeup-Bag/p/738870" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Winter Soiree</a> - £16 (NOW £6). It's made in the same grey felt as the stocking but has the quote "All is Bright" written across the front. It also has a mini Winter Wonder Hand inside, very adorable and a Snowella 10ml Rollerball too. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's not a Zoella Christmas collection without a lip balm set. <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-Snow-Balmy-Lip-Balms-Duo-Gift-Set/p/738879" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Snow Balmy Lip Balm Duo</a> - £7 (NOW £4), contains two little star tinned balms. Snow Soft is just clear and minty and then Snow Sparkle is a caramel sparkly nude. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmeXHwXeDK_MVKYzvqqgGg6ljlx9dmjLrXO5FcdlbvN0iWxEfpwAwgQirDvCsjvKUVWgaWG2Nh_BjEQ4mdLgGhf51kZN5B1MBeZxVcunn1Gevev0s4VHbQaSv3YtoMN69T_ubWoPqvHEmn/s1600/IMG_0161.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmeXHwXeDK_MVKYzvqqgGg6ljlx9dmjLrXO5FcdlbvN0iWxEfpwAwgQirDvCsjvKUVWgaWG2Nh_BjEQ4mdLgGhf51kZN5B1MBeZxVcunn1Gevev0s4VHbQaSv3YtoMN69T_ubWoPqvHEmn/s1600/IMG_0161.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
Then finally there is a whole array of different sizes that the fragrance itself can actually come in. As well as including lots of past and present perfumes in a couple of sets too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you're as obsessed with the Snowella scent this year as I am, I would recommend the Jumbo <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/Zoella-Snowella-Body-Mist-100ml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Snowella Body Spray</a> - £14, in a limited edition 100ml size. Or you could go for the usual 45ml spray size in the <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-Perfume-and-Body-Lotion-Gift-Set/p/738887" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Snowella Perfume and Body Lotion Gift Set</a> - £14 (NOW £8) which again also has a 100ml Snow Silky Body Lotion.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Or if miniatures are more your thing, because after all they are really really cute as well as being handy for your handbag. There is the <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-All-Four-You-Mini-Perfume-Gift-Set/p/738871" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">All Four You Mini Perfume Gift Set</a> - £16 (Now £10), which includes four mini bottles each 15ml in size. The scents really vary between the four, of course theres the fresh scent of Snowella, Blissful Mistful is subtly sweet, Bake My Days has a spicy kick and Gelat' Eau is fruity.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lastly there's this great wee trio of rollerballs, again brilliant for chucking in the bag to touch up through the day. <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Zoella-Snowella-We%27re-On-A-Roll-Perfume-Rollerball-Trio-Set/p/738898" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">We're on a Rollerball</a> - £9 (NOW £8) includes Snowella, Blissful Mistful and Gelat' Eau all in 10ml.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So wether you have a Zoella fan to buy for, or are just looking for a pampering treat for yourself or others. There really is a bit of everything in the Snowella gifting this Christmas.</div>

<br />
I've grown up with Lush all my life, as my Mum was a big fan of Cosmetics To Go as it was previously known. So Christmas time in my household, for me, just isn't quite the same without a Lush festive offering of such.<br />
<br />
For the past three years I've been trying to create, what I guess is a Lush database of sorts for the Christmas products. They release new products to add to their firm festive favourites every year. So I'm hoping that over the past few years of posts, I have their mammoth 2017 collection covered. I'll link to all the previous posts that include this years line up, which will all have updated shopping links too!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK4wFtJLu9NHe_Fl6GCWldRhJ_-zn0lZ9-QaESx900b_LzUru3UcmfYrIuonDhGmnVAnvY9qWKi3dEEzoJ34neAUSBbq-bz2mL8nwmYzWZ61fQWnACX8qTbMycu1Jf72MOjoAJGDw9adlK/s1600/IMG_0152.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK4wFtJLu9NHe_Fl6GCWldRhJ_-zn0lZ9-QaESx900b_LzUru3UcmfYrIuonDhGmnVAnvY9qWKi3dEEzoJ34neAUSBbq-bz2mL8nwmYzWZ61fQWnACX8qTbMycu1Jf72MOjoAJGDw9adlK/s1600/IMG_0152.JPG" /></a></div>
In this half I'm hoping to cover the bath bombs, melts and bubble bars. As they've really gone to town with the bath treats this year. Then in Part Two, it'll be body care, shower gels, soaps and cosmetics. Plus probably a random item I'll of completely of forgotten about, oops!<br />
<br />
There are a couple of items though, such as the <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/snow-fairy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Snow Fairy Fun</a> - £6.25. That I just won't be including, as I just don't purchase it every year. As although Fun used to be a 'Fun' thing in my house, it just goes to waste now and never gets used. But I'll be sure to give anything like that a mention and a link too!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4wNccCdP-C1NXcgOkmlh2vurhGedUlAqkg67S8hka8L_fGGscHTTlt17vysK4GOUeWTyBboWJWVBikvYzcRi6y3cGWQOVj9HkC_SMp5MbDJfT2vtu6iEG0f5MuXR6qp-msqfiPonjq7HC/s1600/IMG_0153.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4wNccCdP-C1NXcgOkmlh2vurhGedUlAqkg67S8hka8L_fGGscHTTlt17vysK4GOUeWTyBboWJWVBikvYzcRi6y3cGWQOVj9HkC_SMp5MbDJfT2vtu6iEG0f5MuXR6qp-msqfiPonjq7HC/s1600/IMG_0153.JPG" /></a></div>
<u>The Bath Bombs...</u><br />
Of course its not a Lush Christmas without a bit of Snow Fairy. This year the range has increased dramatically in size and now includes a <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/snow-fairy-3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Snow Fairy Jelly Bomb</a> - £4.95. So not only will you smell of candy floss, but there's the added extra that you can now bathe in a candy floss pink layer of moisturising jelly too.<br />
<br />
On the complete other side of the smell spectrum is <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/christmas-sweater" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Christmas Sweater</a> - £4.50, inspired by cosy and warm fair isle print christmas jumpers. This one will keep you cosy and toasty with its ingredients of clove, coriander and ginger. Plus as its so warming both scent and ingredient wise, its great for those sore achey muscles after a days Christmas shopping.<br />
<br />
This year saw the retirement of a Lush classic, Honey Bee Bath Bomb. However fear not, as <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bath-bombs/shoot-stars-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shoot For the Stars</a> - £4.50 is basically the Honey I washed the Kids scented favourite redesigned. This time with the added bonus of three little gold melting stars, to add even more moisture to your bathing.<br />
<br />
If you fancy something to wake you up instead of something relaxing however. Then grab a <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/sherbet-dip" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sherbet Dip</a> - £3.75 based on those old retro favourite sweeties. This literally is just a giant fizzy lemon sweetie for your bath, if you've ever wanted to bathe in a DipDab nows your chance...<br />
<br />
Finally the last new addition to the bath bomb range this year is <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/thundersnow" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Thundersnow</a> - £4.50. When I smell this I'm instantly reminded of an After Eight mint, it is packed full of coco and peppermint oil after all. As well as a little bit of popping candy for an extra surprise.<br />
<br />
Though don't worry, the returning favourites such as Butterbear, Golden Wonder, Snow Angel, Luxury Lush Pud are all back too and are <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2015/11/lush-christmas-part-one.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>. As well as the punk inspired favourite Never Mind the Ballistics - <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2016/12/lush-christmas-2016-ballistics-bubbles.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>, too.<br />

<u>The Bubble Bars...</u><br />
I actually thought this was a bath bomb when I first got it, so I'm really glad I checked the label before I chucked it into the bath. <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/christmas-cracker" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Christmas Cracker</a> - £5.95 is huge! It'll definitely last a good maybe 5 baths I would say. With lemon and lime, this cracker will boost your spirits in no time and it had to have a sprinkling of popping candy inside too, just for that added effect!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/man-moon" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Man on the Moon</a> - £5.95 is a fairly massive bubble bar too actually, you really get a lot for your money with these ones. If you love limes you'll love this guy, he's very citrusy and leaves a golden hue to your water depending on how much you add to your bath.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bubble-bars/my-two-front-teeth" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">My Two Front Teeth</a> - £3.95, has a bit of a personal story added to it. As when my brother was little, he knocked out his two front teeth and for a good few years asked for them back for Christmas. So this one brings back a fair few memories. It's got such a calming scent as well due to the lavender used and it'll leave you feeling relaxed and smiley with all the soothing vanilla and neroli.<br />
<br />
If your a fan of the Plum Rain Shower Gel that Lush have, then you need <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/plum-snow" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Plum Snow</a> - £5.95 in your stash. It shares the exact same fruity scent, however now you can have Plum bubbles in your bath as well as in your shower.<br />
<br />
Both of the reusable bubble bars are back this year too, Magic of Christmas and Magic Wand. As well as the return of <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bubble-bars/christmas-eve" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Christmas Eve</a> - £3.95, although it's had a slight makeover this year, it's still the exact same scent of calming jasmine. Then Candy Mountain has also rejoined the crew too - <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2015/11/lush-christmas-part-one.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u>Bath Melts, Bubbleroons and Oils....</u><br />
The classic <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bath-oils/star-light-star-bright" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Star Bright Star Light Melt</a> - £4.25 has made a return. If you want something to really give your skin a good moisturise, then this is the one. Although you may be a tad sparkly afterwards, but I mean if being covered head to toe in glitter isn't acceptable at Christmas then when is it?!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bath-oils/tree-d" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TREE-D Bath Oil</a> - £4.50 is brand new this year and almost too cute to break up and use. You could chuck the whole lot in for a really luxurious bath. But I would say you can probably get four baths out of this one. It really softens the skin due to the amount of coco butter in it, but its also great for hydration due to the almond oils too.<br />
<br />
Finally the last little guy for this half of the range is <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bubble-bars/snowman" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Snowman Bubbleroon</a> - £4.25. Another one that I feel super guilty about crushing up and shoving in the bath, why do they have to make them so darn cute! Plus he's the best of both worlds, lots of bubbles but lots of moisture too.<br />
<br />
I hope this is helpful when it comes to deciding what to add to the Lush stash at this time of year, as well Lush can be a bit overwhelming at Christmas time. There is just so much going on! Look out for Part Two popping up in the next day or two as well...<br />

<br />
Every year when christmas rolls around in the beauty industry, I get excited for the release of Tanya Burr's annual festive collection. It's always a great little mix of products either from the permanent line up, usually in brand new exclusive shades or a selection of new exclusive formulations and products.<br />
<br />
For this years gifting range, the theme is Beauty and The Feast. Including lots of sweet treats. inspired by the traditional sweet chocolatey delight of Christmas, even down to that iconic chocolate coin.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirGozfuU13hhh3R3ENDrdKH77Lpk4OWmcwG_bLr9Pf0FmTqyijfIqBNa6mSSuJX1p5gorPiG0y1XRijRBwFB4swhDZHdpSNTWmQhXk89dFK4JDoFed0V8k2fUDQuu_KtPvK-QS1FGLNjpB/s1600/IMG_0145.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirGozfuU13hhh3R3ENDrdKH77Lpk4OWmcwG_bLr9Pf0FmTqyijfIqBNa6mSSuJX1p5gorPiG0y1XRijRBwFB4swhDZHdpSNTWmQhXk89dFK4JDoFed0V8k2fUDQuu_KtPvK-QS1FGLNjpB/s1600/IMG_0145.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Part of the collection is two makeup palettes, they're kind of more like makeup kits housed in little books. Unfortunately I don't have either to show, but they are made up of a selection eyeshadows, lip products, blushers and highlighters. One is the Jingle and Mingle Night Palette - <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-Jingle-and-Mingle-Night-Palette/p/738796" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>, with three cool toned shadow shades; Latte Love, Chocolate Drop and Frosted Violet. A pigment pot in Sugar Ice, nude lip gloss in French Fancy, bronzer in Toffee Crunch and finally a pencil liner in Santa's Boots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The day palette is called A Season to Sparkle - <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-A-Season-To-Sparkle%2C-Day-Palette/p/738785" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>. This version again has a shadow trio in Vanilla Pod, Sparkly Bauble and Toasted Coconut. Cream Shadow in Champagne Party, Liquid Illuminator and a Lip Gloss in Sweet Sundae.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is also A Little Pick Me Up Makeup Bag - <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-A-Little-Pick-Me-Up/p/738784" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>, with mini mirror and Sprinkle of Sugar, baby pink lipgloss. Plus a mini palette named Glow Du Coco - <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-Glow-Du-Coco/p/738795" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>, a bronzing duo; Toffee Crunch bronzer and Frosted highlighter, teamed with mini golden lipgloss, all resembling a chocolate bar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_v-NZzL1llPjICAZI1AYGSi9miRBe6I2FmQqkGoLCwqiNDWi77LYdc8C1FJjNnzTVFP6DRRqjgnmWGGTPWsZCcLN684CZdx5ROZH9kYIb3FzepDQJu_mgweusjJB9AuR0c42fxh39Ndyl/s1600/IMG_0149.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_v-NZzL1llPjICAZI1AYGSi9miRBe6I2FmQqkGoLCwqiNDWi77LYdc8C1FJjNnzTVFP6DRRqjgnmWGGTPWsZCcLN684CZdx5ROZH9kYIb3FzepDQJu_mgweusjJB9AuR0c42fxh39Ndyl/s1600/IMG_0149.JPG" /></a></div>
<u><a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-Beauty-and-the-Feast-Beauty-Makeup-Box-Set/p/738790" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beauty and the Feast Makeup Box</a> - £50 (NOW £30)</u><br />
The main attraction of the whole gifting collection is this amazing hat box stuffed full of brand new treats. It includes...<br />
<ul>
<li>2x Matte Lipsticks</li>
<li>2x Cream Shadow Sticks</li>
<li>Too Tempting Eyeshadow Palette</li>
<li>Sweet Cheeks Face Palette</li>
<li>Liquid Illuminator </li>
</ul>
<div>
Plus there's also a little voucher to redeem 1/3rd off on the permanent line of cosmetics in Superdrug, as I believe this set is a Superdrug exclusive. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOsGNWIWmXk-8cowOeDbYOkQJaoo1phUumGD0iEexYFxiaSwIWcyAT-2PrIkwtN3W8IbeTuDlhivRyypJEb4ij25RRD9X4-HEsSBiXGABdXhTXTNsBHhWu2WLFvxy3gDLfEbZxsOHubxrE/s1600/IMG_0150.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOsGNWIWmXk-8cowOeDbYOkQJaoo1phUumGD0iEexYFxiaSwIWcyAT-2PrIkwtN3W8IbeTuDlhivRyypJEb4ij25RRD9X4-HEsSBiXGABdXhTXTNsBHhWu2WLFvxy3gDLfEbZxsOHubxrE/s1600/IMG_0150.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
I think out of the whole range this is my personal favourite, just due to the sheer amount of exclusives tucked away inside. Both of the lipsticks are future releases for Tanya, so you can grab them here first before they officially launch in 2018! They're both gorgeous wintery shades, a festive deep wine; named Winter. Then also a warm nude called Belgian Truffle. I wouldn't say they're the most pigmented lipsticks ever, when compared to their liquid counterparts, but they are still comfortable to wear and not too drying either.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the face, there is the Sweet Cheeks Palette. It's home to a bronzer, blusher and highlighter trio. The bronzer in Toffee Crunch adds warmth and a glow to the skin, however if you're as pale as me, it does come across a tad golden. The blusher; Coco Blush is a pretty perky coral shimmer and the highlighter is a cool pink in comparison. However if you do prefer a warmer tone to your highlight, there is the liquid Illuminator too, which can be mixed with moisturiser and foundation for a golden glow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoVFx8Ct7Lgp0qUBpNVpzdETzEMcI7M265B3IZsWs4aTQlXqpA1_gl2C69p-5dVcDn6CWQ-mvcEPQ9STS5leMKHTjmDmpeRhi0KHQOG7cvMsJVyjqsbJO6PBRJ-OT0hM8oj6raw8AFMGCo/s1600/IMG_0148.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoVFx8Ct7Lgp0qUBpNVpzdETzEMcI7M265B3IZsWs4aTQlXqpA1_gl2C69p-5dVcDn6CWQ-mvcEPQ9STS5leMKHTjmDmpeRhi0KHQOG7cvMsJVyjqsbJO6PBRJ-OT0hM8oj6raw8AFMGCo/s1600/IMG_0148.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
The Too Tempting Eyeshadow Palette lives up to it's name, all of he shades inside are just Too Tempting. It may only include six colours, but I think the shades included are a good mix to create a number of different looks. There is a matte cream; Creme De La Creme, a toasted neutral pink; Gold Star, which also has a shimmer running through it. Then there's the ever so handy warm matte brown; Hazelnut Coco. Cookies and Cream; a shimmering pink. A festive cranberry shimmer; Christmas Mocha. Then maybe my personal favourite of the palette, Chocolate Coin, a smoky burnt taupe, I want to say that it almost has a green tinge to it too. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I do have to say though, that although the pigmentation of the shimmer shades is fantastic and they're wonderful and creamy. The matte duo, especially Creme De Le Creme, just doesn't pack that much of a pigmented punch.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally in this box there are two Cream Shadow Sticks. Which as far as i'm aware, Tanya has never actually done before. Both are really creamy and glide onto the skin no problem, then once set they stay in place. Sweet Sugar; a champagne, is lovely for an inner corner highlight to really brighten the eye. Then Melt My Heart; the warm bronze, would make a stunning grungy smoky eye base. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJxwKxS1bO4KU9RK42nKVWwr_jWpeFR3GfWARgs5yqTtuWIkSJYGJ9EHZ9nfXvhwwiQg34bk5E4FqrE0i4Xjdo3WX8BkomyuvsLuTDIpoTyvVlgg2_iVdaD9KLPvUyKT2Cy0EKaHETX629/s1600/IMG_0147.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJxwKxS1bO4KU9RK42nKVWwr_jWpeFR3GfWARgs5yqTtuWIkSJYGJ9EHZ9nfXvhwwiQg34bk5E4FqrE0i4Xjdo3WX8BkomyuvsLuTDIpoTyvVlgg2_iVdaD9KLPvUyKT2Cy0EKaHETX629/s1600/IMG_0147.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
There are lots of little great gifts, that would make fabulous stocking fillers from the range.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u><a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-Tip-Top-Treats/p/738805" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tip Top Treats in Rose Gold</a> - £9 (NOW £5)</u></div>
<div>
Every Year I love Tanya's polish sets. The Tanya Burr Cosmetics polishes are some of the best I've tried from the drugstore. They last well, don't chip quickly and require very few coats to get a very nice finish. This set includes two shades on a double sided polish, a dark berry and a rose gold glitter topper. As well as coming with a handy nail file too. There is a more subtle french manicure style version too, available <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-Tip-Top-Treats/p/738801" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u><a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-Lucky-Penny/p/738798" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lucky Penny </a>- £5 (NOW £2)</u></div>
<div>
Possibly the cutest edition, is this peppermint flavoured creamy pink tinged lip balm. Housed in a tin to resemble a traditional giant chocolate coin. I have to admit as someone who cant currently eat chocolate, I would be over the moon with this as a dairy free chocolate coin replacement in my stocking. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u><a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-Sweet-Lip-Creams%2C-Matte-Liquid-Lipstick/p/738797" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sweet Lip Creams</a> - £9 (NOW £7)</u></div>
<div>
Also for the lips is a mini matte liquid lipstick duo. These handy miniatures are great to throw into your handbag or party clutch. Both shades are quite bold but equally as festive. There is Santa's Little Helper, a true pink toned red and a purple berry in the form of Blackberry Fudge. The formulation of these is great for the price, comfortable and I don't find them to go patchy as they eventually wear away.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u><a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Tanya-Burr-Velvet-Vanille-Eau-De-Toilette/p/738792" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Velvet Vanille Eau De Toilette</a> - £18 (NOW £10)</u></div>
<div>
Tanya's debut fragrance, Velvet Vanille. There's something that reminds me of the 1920's about the bottle, it's chunky and really heavy with its big metal lid. It feel's a lot more luxurious than it's actual price tag. The scent itself, although alludes to being really quite sweet, is sweet but not overpowering in the slightest. I personally cant stomach sweet fragrances, I have a headache in no time. However Velvet Vanilla, has a warmth to it. There's almost a note when it's first sprayed that reminds me of key lime pie strangely enough. It's like a little kick of citrus that fades away into a comforting warmth of vanilla thats far from sickly sweet. </div>

<div>
I love a beauty calendar, again as I cant have chocolate or sweets. Tanya's calendar is a great beauty treat without getting too expensive. As really some beauty advents are just extortionate in price. This one may only be twelve days, so I open it every other day or you could open it on the twelve days of Christmas. I haven't opened all the doors just yet, so I cant say what's behind them all. But so far there's been a varied selection of nail polish, pigment, a mirror, glitter liners and lip gloss.</div>

<div>
I have to say, if you pick up one thing from this christmas range. Grab that advent calendar, £8 for twelve full size makeup products! Well eleven and a lovely little mirror, its a bargain! Also I'm hoping to get a blog post up every day this week, almost as like my mini version of blogmas this year haha. Hopefully I'm not too late with the festivities, December has just flown by! </div>

<br />
Back at the start of the year, I made my first Colourpop order. Just unfortunately, being in hospital, I never got around to wearing it or even posting about it. However recently I've got stuck right into the products and thought I'd finally share what I think about this ever so popular brand...<br />

When I made my order there was an offer on for free UK delivery, woohoo! (However I was hit by an £18 customs charge, boo!) As well as an offer, for a free brush with the purchase of any two Super Shock Shadows. So I took full advantage of course!<br />
<br />
I got the <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/small-shader-brush" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Small Shader Brush</a> for free, which If I'm honest, I'm never usually a massive fan of this stye of brush for shadow. I prefer a much denser brush or blending brushes instead. Though I tend to use flat cat tongue brushes for sharpening any lines and details with concealer. Which I have since used this for and it works perfectly due to its sharp edge.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The two Super Shock Shadows I went for to get the offer were <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/cricket" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricket</a> and <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/so-quiche" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">So Quiche</a>. Basically I wanted to go for the more unusual shades and anything that may include glitter!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Purple is one of my favourite shades to wear, as it really brings out the blue in my eyes. Cricket is perfect for this, as it's a really cool purple with a pretty multi faceted glitter running right through it. Then there's So Quiche, which is a subtle green, again great on blue eyes. What drew me to it in the end however was the gorgeous purple shimmer. As well as also carrying a hint of gold too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The formulation of the Super Shock Shadows are cream to powder. They're creamy and blend well, however once they set, they won't budge! You have to make sure the lids are really screwed on really tight though, so that they don't dry out. However the pans are actually quite shallow, so there's not a huge amount of product inside the chunky packaging. But for the price you really can't complain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB4_S_HMgaBrcNQEkRnwU0DJd3COUlr6PG5jWmCfhBI_LUUThSNGiO8nEHjycmrpDLOXFbTzL3kqBAZ3_YT8SvmRRmR1OCChl8pXal6p65d3dnYzQaCHqk7g595qF0MKOLiXYYRDm0oedS/s1600/IMG_0115.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB4_S_HMgaBrcNQEkRnwU0DJd3COUlr6PG5jWmCfhBI_LUUThSNGiO8nEHjycmrpDLOXFbTzL3kqBAZ3_YT8SvmRRmR1OCChl8pXal6p65d3dnYzQaCHqk7g595qF0MKOLiXYYRDm0oedS/s1600/IMG_0115.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not one to shy away from bold colours. Give me brights and glitter any day! So I was really drawn to this little quad, the Studio 1400 collection. Unfortunately I cant find this exact set on the site anymore, but some shades are still available, so I've linked to the ones I can track down. </div>
<br />
All four shades are of a pearlised finish. So they are really shimmery, perfect for a bit of sparkle on he lid. I did notice, even though I didn't purchase any; the matte shades also have a sparkle running through them. So they're not 100% matte...<br />
<br />
The quad is made up of 8 Track; an olive/antiqued gold shade. It reminds me of MAC's Woodwinked, but just not not as warm. Then there is <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/love-line" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Static</a>; a really deep burgundy, perfect for Autumn/Winter. Donna; a rich jewel toned emerald green, which may just be my favourite of the bunch! However it is a close call between <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/white-rabbit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">White Rabbit</a> too. As orange tones, again look incredible on blue eyes. The warmth to this particular shade is stunning, this metallic copper just makes me want to wrap up all warm and cosy.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNVDlmtfPNX-cULZqCtY7hP0DKxm3ewIfLOnFoZWlmiMwxxW84mTRT5iMhAkLEEFrk1-9NIug927MuOZ8yhlaPsOLld3hhwMn_t47ouC9CulRZogjKL4aEmFhKHKkHITPR4yO5XzdQiM8o/s1600/IMG_0116.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNVDlmtfPNX-cULZqCtY7hP0DKxm3ewIfLOnFoZWlmiMwxxW84mTRT5iMhAkLEEFrk1-9NIug927MuOZ8yhlaPsOLld3hhwMn_t47ouC9CulRZogjKL4aEmFhKHKkHITPR4yO5XzdQiM8o/s1600/IMG_0116.JPG" /></a></div>
I couldn't decide between trying the much talked about Lippie Sticks or the Liquid Lipsticks from Colourpop. However Colourpop offer some fantastic sets, letting you try more for your money. So I went a tad out of my comfort zone and went with the <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/just-peachy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Just Peachy</a> Trio.<br />
<br />
I don't tend to go for peach or orange lip products, I would much rather reach for pinks or nudes. But it's nice to try something new sometimes...<br />
<br />
The Trio consists of two Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks; Instigator, which is a terracotta peach and <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/speed-dial" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Speed Dial</a>; a warm deep brown. Then there is also one Ultra Satin Lip, <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/screenshot" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Screenshot</a>; the palest shade, but still a rich peach.<br />
<br />
Consistency wise, the satin lips are much more comfortable to wear, they are just that bit more moisturising on the lip. That being said though, the matte lips aren't that bad. They sit a lot better on a well moisturised lip though. But both formulations will not move once set.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(Swatches: Left to Right - White Rabbit, 8 Track, Static, Donna, Speed Dial, Screenshot and Instigator.)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Overall I would definetly go for the Super Shock Shadows again. The amount of pigmentation you get from them for the price is incredible. I would also grab more of the Ultra Satin lips, though I doubt I'll be reaching for any more peach tones.<br />

<br />
I am so late with this post, compared to when this collection actually launched at the start of this year! But seeing as the majority of the products are permanent and utterly gorgeous! Plus possibly the prettiest Beyond Powder, ever to exist is back in stock! I thought I'd still share this stunningly glitzy launch with you.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgsnGyVIeafH2NgIlG37qQ_UIctyzKwylDW0a3SU5_VrbuTAGQnZ2QYkXtwyv-v85AR4UmxpwjdeLzsVoQMiHO6FgUZXugbfNnmTlXEUMkr_MDDkFKs7RIQbh7jp3Y_E30943dXjQ6s64h/s1600/IMG_0017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgsnGyVIeafH2NgIlG37qQ_UIctyzKwylDW0a3SU5_VrbuTAGQnZ2QYkXtwyv-v85AR4UmxpwjdeLzsVoQMiHO6FgUZXugbfNnmTlXEUMkr_MDDkFKs7RIQbh7jp3Y_E30943dXjQ6s64h/s640/IMG_0017.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The May Queen collection, mainly consists of new shadow shades. As well as a dreamy highlight and two previously launched lipsticks from the Antimatter collection. I don't have the two shades from this specific collection but they are; <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/antimatter-lipstick/11378683.html?variation=11378685" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Binary</a> (a warm coral) and <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/antimatter-lipstick/11378683.html?variation=11378691" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charge</a> (a hot pink). Both beautifully bright but they can still be subtle colours, if you wanted to tone them down you can. They're the perfect pop of colour now that it's getting that bit drearier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Illamasqua do the most incredible matte shadows, which have been firm favourites of mine for years. After the success of their shimmer shadow in Jubilance, from the <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2016/09/illamasqua-extinct.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Extinct Collection</a>. They've decided to expand and release three new jewel like shades. Which include; <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/powder-eye-shadow/11387464.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Invoke</a> (a cool bronze), <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/powder-eye-shadow/11387464.html?variation=11438998" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maiden</a> (a soft yellow gold) and <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/powder-eye-shadow/11387464.html?variation=11438998" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ritual</a> (a lilac pink).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All three shades have a soft buttery texture, with no compromise on the quality of the pigmentation either, wether you use them wet or dry. However when wet, they create a gorgeous liquid metal like finish. You just cant fault Illamasqua for the versatility of their products, including these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglc20Sf8CfVe2_n8Ni1k9IDKnKwUnnrJX3uD-yVzlOgBSC4-etOzZrwoHHnfsadNF8nS9i7hYxhCpuIJy_v0CQANH2STi6Sj9r5SVGJ-G0ZX63IM4Shmjx38T-z8L3fGwfbcGFglZqADPD/s1600/IMG_0019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglc20Sf8CfVe2_n8Ni1k9IDKnKwUnnrJX3uD-yVzlOgBSC4-etOzZrwoHHnfsadNF8nS9i7hYxhCpuIJy_v0CQANH2STi6Sj9r5SVGJ-G0ZX63IM4Shmjx38T-z8L3fGwfbcGFglZqADPD/s640/IMG_0019.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A range Illamasqua do, which I don't think gets nearly enough love, are the Pure Pigments. You can do so much with these little pots of pure joy! This pretty subtle shimmer shade is no exception, <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/pure-pigment/11387493.html?variation=11438994" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Muse</a> (a baby pink champagne) makes a lovely highlight, especially on a paler skin. As well as of course being a shadow shade, liner; when mixed with a sealing gel and you can even pop it on your nails!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The gem of this collection however is the Beyond Powder in <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/beyond-powder-deity/11438995.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Deity</a> (a soft golden green shift). It's just such an usual shade, which sadly my camera just isn't doing justice! It became such a popular shade, with pleads for it to come back after it sold out so quickly in it's initial launch. But it's back, however I'm not sure for how long? I'd recommend grabbing it quick just incase!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm actually going to do a full post dedicated to the Beyond Powder range, as they've fast become my favourite way to highlight!</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

If you fancy a bit of glitz and glam, I can't recommend taking a peek at these enough. I'm off to cover my face in Deity, as you can never have too much highlight!<br />

<br />
I'm not exactly the most organised person on the planet. I mean I try to be, but then that all but lasts for two seconds and returns more to some sort of organised chaos. However now with my never ending list of hospital appointments, I have to get my act together!<br />
<br />
For my 21st birthday, my Mum very kindly got me a Heidi Swapp Memory Planner. I think in the hope's that I would actually write everything down and not leave everything to the last minute for once!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIVWPnZgR3gLZXm_-v1E6cegWaLHPJjtW8ubwMtZiUxqzuuEyT7CxSAtSYews9s-mH5WYWaWoavYolUPrJ1AiteDH7TVxFWYPMihNVT7vtURY0JWJNQlxMWxyWHodNW7TU9orBhOdGSyUr/s1600/IMG_0122-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIVWPnZgR3gLZXm_-v1E6cegWaLHPJjtW8ubwMtZiUxqzuuEyT7CxSAtSYews9s-mH5WYWaWoavYolUPrJ1AiteDH7TVxFWYPMihNVT7vtURY0JWJNQlxMWxyWHodNW7TU9orBhOdGSyUr/s1600/IMG_0122-1.JPG" /></a></div>
The specific one I have is the <a href="http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/heidi-swapp-memory-planner-228-x-203-cm-122-pieces/613952-1000" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">White and Gold Polka Dot Personal Planner</a>. Which is like a proper chunky American style planner. I love these as they're so great to customise and make your own. Plus I can use it for multiple things, aka keeping track of my shifts, planning my blog posts and everything that comes with it and of course for all the other appointments and what not that comes with life.<br />
<br />
The memory planners do come in slightly smaller sizes too though. If you're looking for something a tad bit easier to travel with and carry around day to day.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTC8wI0uvy_B9TvqAnYXaZprgPP32PQiJvonIEcpZBXarRizj1C5N1wwauLI6L9ePWMcN-R1a0ui5HUQFrcF-q4XS0N-8O57YXtYhV5JYjElfr_QLy5L7lTfRG1z5JuyoOdhoyLubJ_qom/s1600/IMG_0123-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTC8wI0uvy_B9TvqAnYXaZprgPP32PQiJvonIEcpZBXarRizj1C5N1wwauLI6L9ePWMcN-R1a0ui5HUQFrcF-q4XS0N-8O57YXtYhV5JYjElfr_QLy5L7lTfRG1z5JuyoOdhoyLubJ_qom/s1600/IMG_0123-1.JPG" /></a></div>
I love that it has a calendar for each month, that makes it easy to see everything at a glance. However there are generous sized pages to scribble away on and fill up with all the important details for each day. I personally love them for organising blog posts and making sure I keep on top of content, as I'm great at changing my mind last minute when it comes to posts and shuffling them around. Now once it's in the planner, that's it! I'm doing it!<br />
<br />
At the end of each month there is also a notes page, as well as a tick list and lots of boxes to doodle away in at the start. Great for keeping birthdays or special dates altogether.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBIVgIegY5yl09Rqkj4F3V50u36tE29EYABvZRzJp9772DJ-X6COwLudUW-W2hgrZSsUNWcCgarZQkGpYGIdET4l-RfL1QyJV3HBCQFNGjuYgVF5fyYCBM__-p8Fod9Zlij-USHjiwbVoW/s1600/IMG_0124-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBIVgIegY5yl09Rqkj4F3V50u36tE29EYABvZRzJp9772DJ-X6COwLudUW-W2hgrZSsUNWcCgarZQkGpYGIdET4l-RfL1QyJV3HBCQFNGjuYgVF5fyYCBM__-p8Fod9Zlij-USHjiwbVoW/s1600/IMG_0124-1.JPG" /></a></div>
When it comes to customising your planner, you're spoilt for choice with the Heidi Swapp range. I personally love the wee picture cards, which you can purchase in packs of around 24. To slot into the little picture binders each month. You don't have to necessarily use them though, you can customise them with your own photos instead! There are even little frames in different kits or packs to accessorise them with too.<br />

I went all out and purchased three different sets to add to my planner. I got the <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/American-Crafts-Planner-Acrylic-Multicolour/dp/B017P51TES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509393503&sr=8-1&keywords=Heidi+swapp+cards" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Love</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heidi-Swapp-Hello-Beautiful-Pocket/dp/B00RGFMRV2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1509393503&sr=8-3&keywords=Heidi+swapp+cards" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hello Beautiful</a> Foil Card Packs.

You can even stick them on the pages with a bit of washi tape (aka my new found love!) to jazz them up a bit!<br />

There is also a great selection of kits to choose from. All with different themes to help you organise different aspects of life and decorate accordingly if you with. I love, love, love these kit's! It's basically like an adult version of all the crafting I used to do when I was younger. Plus mainly because I've fallen head over heels for all of the little stampers...<br />
<br />
I have the <a href="http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/heidi-swapp-memory-keeping-everyday-embellishment-kit/626513-1000" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Keeping Everyday Kit</a>, which comes with some fun bright frames, a couple of insert cards, bulldog clips and a selection of floral and quote stickers. As well as also including some gold glitter alphabet stickers and a sheet of washi tapes, which do also come in my other kit too, just in a different design. My other kit is the <a href="http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/heidi-swapp-memory-keeping-time-capsule-kit/626510-1000" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Keeping Time Kit</a>, (very apt!), which features cute little letter paper clips, some stampers, stickers and memo cards galore!<br />

<br />
Apologies for the lack of posts, especially after saying that was me back to blogging. I just seemed to lose the blogging mojo. But I couldn't miss an opportunity to dress up for Halloween. It is practically a makeup artists favourite time of year after all!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoScFvFUGf-aH1qXnBqOilxAYemrh4fYWXgDF3h1ksHZpJRt8A9GnwqeGmReUsSCO613I__wZOflWe40nWPYPoPm5dsNB4Fln4PTLMDoiRJoK-LzpLS8-3VvRlgZuPeHRXL1XPtMvufB1F/s1600/IMG_0014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoScFvFUGf-aH1qXnBqOilxAYemrh4fYWXgDF3h1ksHZpJRt8A9GnwqeGmReUsSCO613I__wZOflWe40nWPYPoPm5dsNB4Fln4PTLMDoiRJoK-LzpLS8-3VvRlgZuPeHRXL1XPtMvufB1F/s1600/IMG_0014.JPG" /></a></div>
Batman is probably my favourite comic book hero, along with all the villains too! Last year I did a Suicide Squad Harley Quinn and a take on The Joker too. However I couldn't help myself and do a Harley Quinn look again this year. But just based on the comic book Jester version instead, after finding this amazing <a href="http://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0557082001.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jumpsuit</a> and <a href="http://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0591967001.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Alice Band</a> from H&M.<br />
<br />
To start off I blocked out my brows with soap, just like in my Joker Tutorial. I created a base consisting of my shade in Illamasqua <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/skin-base-foundation/11264625.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Skin Base</a>; 3.5, mixed with 01 White. I didn't want it to be completely white, just a pale base, so that the highlights stand out. I applied it over <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/hydra-veil-primer/11264666.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hydraveil</a> as a primer, as my skin is so dry at the moment. It's basically a priming saviour! I also did a rough sketch of where the mask would be placed, using Illamasqua <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/colouring-eye-pencil/11387445.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Honor Colouring Pencil</a>, using the shape of my brows as a guide and leaving enough space for a cut crease and winged liner look.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Dzipofz2oGDBV5EL7SLDbOFRIsKvz-yFO-X4iET25I7uqniA0S0nUMmvzopLZRbdJn571XsflcitTocA2ZVwRRvehTsq4Dzqsc33uUhlgDTjmdgI1Ol4X6QemIHp6xwJAGk7asoLZhD5/s1600/IMG_0001-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Dzipofz2oGDBV5EL7SLDbOFRIsKvz-yFO-X4iET25I7uqniA0S0nUMmvzopLZRbdJn571XsflcitTocA2ZVwRRvehTsq4Dzqsc33uUhlgDTjmdgI1Ol4X6QemIHp6xwJAGk7asoLZhD5/s1600/IMG_0001-1.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the eyes `I primed with a base of MAC <a href="https://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/13840/1573/products/makeup/eyes/eyeshadow/pro-longwear-paint-pot#/shade/Painterly" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Painterly Paint Pot</a>. Then blended Sugarpill's <a href="https://www.love-makeup.co.uk/sugarpill-cosmetics-pressed-shadow-compact-p-4581.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Love +</a> Shadow just above my natural crease, pulling it into the inner corner of the eye and keeping it quite high up in the socket. I lined and added wings to the eyes using Illamasqua's Precision Gel Liner in <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/precision-gel-liner-infinity/11540334.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Infinity</a>. Then to cut the crease, I mixed Illamasqua's gorgeous Pure Pigment in <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/pure-pigment/11387493.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Berber</a> with their <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/sealing-gel/11270472.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sealing Gel</a> to create a shimmery blood red paste. Applying it to where the Love + starts at the crease and bringing it out to stop just before meeting the gel liner, leaving a small gap in-between. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To finish off the eyes I ran Berber slightly underneath the eye. As well as applying MAC's <a href="https://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/13840/372/products/makeup/eyes/eyeshadow/pigment#/shade/Vanilla_" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vanilla Pigment</a> to the lid to clean up and brighten the eye and a coat of my favourite mascara, Illamasqua's <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/masquara-gain/11264673.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gain Masquara</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFk5zPvvy2H1xwuapStTVOqndB8oz4Y7i-y1UqkqGPx51UvBXvXrrex36j0MpgicUTKKr3ir3awINSOHn3JyUR0XSx4_N0MkJi-ljqmbMWJtKswlrfWF4oSX5ss24mbQ9KGK7UoC21YhDz/s1600/IMG_0002-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFk5zPvvy2H1xwuapStTVOqndB8oz4Y7i-y1UqkqGPx51UvBXvXrrex36j0MpgicUTKKr3ir3awINSOHn3JyUR0XSx4_N0MkJi-ljqmbMWJtKswlrfWF4oSX5ss24mbQ9KGK7UoC21YhDz/s1600/IMG_0002-1.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the mask, I tweaked some of my original lines made with Honor. Once the eyes are done you can really judge it better. I went over my final lines with gel liner, blending the inside edges. Then filling it in by pressing Obsidian from the Illamasqua <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/neutral-eye-shadow-palette/11264669.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Neutral Palette</a>. Basically colouring in the lines! Haha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So that the mask doesn't appear really flat on the face, I used <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/colouring-eye-pencil/11387445.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Elate Colouring Pencil</a> to sketch in some white highlights, mainly around the high points and slightly under the eye. However that didn't seem like enough for me, so I also topped them off with a bit of glitter, using Urban Decay's Heavy Metal Liner in <a href="https://www.urbandecay.co.uk/en_GB/eyes/eyeliner/heavy-metal/390.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Distortion</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ZTGJ-tX5REYngOssQ08gm_ZnmwwzD1unzSQ8b55P8P13rbh-PHLTm1JLfYC1KHaFTzA4nYBa5QCz7-PP1hjl19SFnIhfffyW8tRg6IiW4MEhpqwxtpOIIfiuoY2oLvspTVxPGigcvfB8/s1600/IMG_0003-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ZTGJ-tX5REYngOssQ08gm_ZnmwwzD1unzSQ8b55P8P13rbh-PHLTm1JLfYC1KHaFTzA4nYBa5QCz7-PP1hjl19SFnIhfffyW8tRg6IiW4MEhpqwxtpOIIfiuoY2oLvspTVxPGigcvfB8/s1600/IMG_0003-1.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To complete the rest of the look, I swept Illamasqua's Blusher in <a href="https://www.illamasqua.com/powder-blusher/11387427.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nymph</a> over the cheek and up to the top of the ear. I skipped any bronzer and contour, but you could add them in as well if you prefer. I also added a couple of drops of the Barry M Liquid Chrome Highlighting Drops, in <a href="https://www.barrym.com/product/Liquid-Chrome-Highlighter-Drops" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Precious Pearl</a> to the tops of my cheeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the lips, I went for a bit of gel liner into the inner corners and blended it outwards towards the middle of the lip. This deepens the corners and makes the lip look fuller in the centre. I went over the top with Illamasqua's Matte Lip Liquid in Fire, which I've since realised is discontinued! The MAC Retro Matte Lip Liquid in <a href="https://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/13854/37620/products/makeup/lips/lipstick/retro-matte-liquid-lipcolour#/shade/Feels_So_Grand" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Feels so Grand</a> or the Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick in <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Rimmel/Rimmel-Stay-Matte-Liquid-Lipstick-Fire-Starter-500/p/736186" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fire Starter</a>, could be good alternatives. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After taking Fire all over the lip, I also extended it out at the outer corners of the mouth. Hinting to that iconic joker like smile. I couldn't help but add a little bit of Berber Pigment over the top in the centre of the lip too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR7oUefNjRNMNseFK4uYmy9HKqiHm2kmOzUhsu1MDsNVi78kus9rL38ak6fG7h52zbxP2iOUHjWEcvRWwgpecMYJwz3rAf2i0BpDLxsDit4fq56APc5b3sTyTcd1uKRxJTJ0chWXiHc5s2/s1600/IMG_0004-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR7oUefNjRNMNseFK4uYmy9HKqiHm2kmOzUhsu1MDsNVi78kus9rL38ak6fG7h52zbxP2iOUHjWEcvRWwgpecMYJwz3rAf2i0BpDLxsDit4fq56APc5b3sTyTcd1uKRxJTJ0chWXiHc5s2/s1600/IMG_0004-1.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was just going to leave it there but I couldn't help myself and had to turn it into a Pop Art Harley Quinn instead! </div>
<br />
I simply just drew the lines under the cheekbones to contour, around the lip line but not completely, chin and the temples. As well as adding a few around the mask to make it stand out from the face that bit more. Plus having a couple of little lines down the nose too. I did all the line work with Infinity Gel Liner and an angled brush. Finally finishing it off with a couple of white lines next to the to highlight. When blending them on the cheeks, chin, nose and temples, it turns ever so slightly grey, creating a gradient effect and adding that bit more depth. As I used White Skin Base, so the two cream based products blend well. The only white line left unblended was on the lip to give that Pop Art glossy effect.<br />
<br />
Happy Halloween!<br />

<br />
I must apologise for another haul already! There are other posts coming, just as I'm currently housebound and bored, online shopping has become rather addictive! As if I needed any more encouragement to shop! Space NK also sent me quite a few lovely emails with discount codes and with Ndulge points to spend, I couldn't resist a treat.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkesLTOGa0ou0MdYiPH9proEn-p4dvDHQ-epSlwLVosXZUs0OHSrQc6l_Tenub9kI5dboTG7c2YinUuGN4Ma5D2wuyyrxtJSXqDK3d6tym9KNK45FvHhjZpEJrCNHpefHSs7SrNT9pVPgM/s1600/IMG_0023.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkesLTOGa0ou0MdYiPH9proEn-p4dvDHQ-epSlwLVosXZUs0OHSrQc6l_Tenub9kI5dboTG7c2YinUuGN4Ma5D2wuyyrxtJSXqDK3d6tym9KNK45FvHhjZpEJrCNHpefHSs7SrNT9pVPgM/s1600/IMG_0023.jpg" /></a><br />
I've had my eye on quite a few things from NARS for ages now, yet I never ever purchase them. So while I've not felt great, its kinda amazing how you can convince yourself to spend to cheer yourself up!<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeriReoKDpgk3026upEqAt846ZuQbKEUApwSbC10nLUOl-fFw4aU6yzHmM8Ov4tIMQJPLJ63l3g4r_P12gACXx3D3r23sj0fSEqLwrkzgHG_zsjFloaIv3ixPF2-z0Upfi52OeWdtGUEVC/s1600/IMG_0025.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeriReoKDpgk3026upEqAt846ZuQbKEUApwSbC10nLUOl-fFw4aU6yzHmM8Ov4tIMQJPLJ63l3g4r_P12gACXx3D3r23sj0fSEqLwrkzgHG_zsjFloaIv3ixPF2-z0Upfi52OeWdtGUEVC/s1600/IMG_0025.jpg" /></a><br />
I can't say I've tried a huge range from NARS until now, I know the products that I love and I tend to stick with them and not try anything new. Which has led me to these repurchases, which I must admit its very rare repurchases happen unless they're in the form of an Illamasqua product.<br />
<br />
My first repurchase was <a href="http://www.spacenk.com/uk/en_GB/makeup/complexion/foundation/sheer-glow-foundation-MUK200005274.html?dwvar_MUK200005274_color=UK200005272" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sheer Glow</a> in Mont Blanc. Which is an absolute nightmare to get a hold of, I feel like I stalked the website for months for this little guy. I grabbed the <a href="http://www.spacenk.com/uk/en_GB/accessories/tools/makeup-tools/foundation-pump-MUK200007445.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Foundation Pump</a> too, as thats always out of stock as well. Sheer Glow has to be one of my top foundations, as it doesn't cling to any dry patches and offers a really good coverage without looking or feeling heavy in the skin. Plus it comes in a pale enough shade for me, woohoo!<br />
<br />
I love the <a href="about:invalid#zClosurez" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Light Reflecting Powder</a> to set my makeup as its so finely milled. However I have it in the loose form and thats just a bit horrible to travel with. So I've finally bitten the bullet and invested in a pressed version, so my makeup bag no longer looks like a powder explosion.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.spacenk.com/uk/en_GB/makeup/cheeks/bronzer/bronzing-powder-MUK101046552.html?dwvar_MUK101046552_color=UK101046552" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Laguna Bronzer</a> is one of those cult NARS products. It's a bronzer I was scared of due to being so pale. However I was wrong, it doesn't leave me looking like I've been tangoed or muddy either. You can contour with it as its matte, but I just think it adds a lovely warmth to the skin. It was also a bit of a panic buy, as they've just launched the Sun Diffusing Bronzers as well. That range also includes a Laguna, so hopefully this one is staying put!<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF6wUK1JPwbKcM_0HQuyiFHdKuf1tJuPNpmx0rf6hW6ce6kkk8TgC3gT9gyx8rdFAOxDmahueEiBejv3wqPfI6sdRdPKzbyomrThOPf_xkvPryBM0Vs5AojqxRKxCmx8m84QY0A18aHKDM/s1600/IMG_0086.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF6wUK1JPwbKcM_0HQuyiFHdKuf1tJuPNpmx0rf6hW6ce6kkk8TgC3gT9gyx8rdFAOxDmahueEiBejv3wqPfI6sdRdPKzbyomrThOPf_xkvPryBM0Vs5AojqxRKxCmx8m84QY0A18aHKDM/s1600/IMG_0086.jpg" /></a><br />
When it comes to trying something new, I've still stuck with products I know I love. I haven't really been as adventurous as I thought... I've gone for the classics such as Cruella <a href="http://www.spacenk.com/uk/en_GB/makeup/lips/lip-pencil/velvet-matte-lip-pencil-MUK153089647.html?dwvar_MUK153089647_color=UK200018574" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Velvet Matte Lip Pencil</a>. This stunning blue toned red has to be one of NARS' best sellers by far.<br />
<br />
I remember seeing Ingrid or Miss Glamorazzi as she used to be known, use the <a href="http://www.spacenk.com/uk/en_GB/makeup/eyes/eye-primer/smudge-proof-eyeshadow-base-MUK200006041.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Smudge Proof Eye Shadow Base</a> years ago. It's been on the wish list ever since, but as I'm so loyal to my trusty MAC Paint Pots, I've never purchased it. I'm looking forward to giving it a go though as I go through a love hate relationship with the Urban Decay Primer Potion.<br />
<br />
I actually picked up the <a href="http://narscosmetics.co.uk/en_GB/soft-touch-shadow-pencil/999NACSTSPL01.html?dwvar_999NACSTSPL01_color=7845082064#start=10" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Soft Touch Shadow Pencil</a> in the shade; Iraklion, from TK Maxx. Just as a quick no fuss eyeshadow when I'm in a hurry or as a base for other shadows. They're still available from NARS, but I cant really find them anywhere else. Definitely pop into TK Maxx though as it was filled to the brim with NARS when I went in.<br />
<br />
Finally I got the well loved <a href="http://www.spacenk.com/uk/en_GB/brands/n/nars/eyeshadow-duo-MUK101020272.html?dwvar_MUK101020272_color=UK101030397" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eye Shadow Duo</a> in Isolde, I blame Zoella for this one. I think it'll be perfect for the Autumn Winter months, with its warm copper tone. Plus was it is slightly on the orange side, It looks great on blue eyes. I was also blown away by how creamy and pigmented the texture of them is as well!<br />

<br />
Recently Illamasqua had their annual summer sale and of course, me being me, I couldn't say no. It was absolutely jam packed full of amazing goodies though. Which are really hard to resist, so I may go gotten ever so slightly carried away to say the least...<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhadXdzeniO1DC0rJWpsfjIihVGlisl7CP69cpQ3TBS5t_uGMsVkmkipk-KPnH26txFETmJD4Ldx65KUmdEv_oScETaqQfGyIpBe8D5Rg9fmKuG_b_uppsavWSRXllCzsqvKHTWUQIOkxG/s1600/IMG_0067.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhadXdzeniO1DC0rJWpsfjIihVGlisl7CP69cpQ3TBS5t_uGMsVkmkipk-KPnH26txFETmJD4Ldx65KUmdEv_oScETaqQfGyIpBe8D5Rg9fmKuG_b_uppsavWSRXllCzsqvKHTWUQIOkxG/s1600/IMG_0067.jpg" /></a><br />
Like usual with an Illamasqua Sale, there was up to 70% off and at least 50%. Plus then every so often they add a whole new drop of goodness to the line up, so I did end up making something like four orders overall for this lot, oops! Thank goodness for free delivery!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzs6Weg_8ipfh-Zq3AF941NS8Dum0wUB5sIaAk9xT3gqan7cayQP2qSMAnj8VX3dVTM-ULoQnayT9ldnnzpqGafwvDchR-GbpAd2DcAw0I_dzKup6x1ty4L2r8PvaBoSkhWeA9hkyjJavl/s1600/IMG_0063.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzs6Weg_8ipfh-Zq3AF941NS8Dum0wUB5sIaAk9xT3gqan7cayQP2qSMAnj8VX3dVTM-ULoQnayT9ldnnzpqGafwvDchR-GbpAd2DcAw0I_dzKup6x1ty4L2r8PvaBoSkhWeA9hkyjJavl/s1600/IMG_0063.jpg" /></a><br />
Firstly I picked up the <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/face/blusher/gel-colour-charm/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gel Colour in Charm</a>, as I already have the contour version of this in the shade Silhouette and it's one of my all time favourite Illamasqua products. As they're a gel consistency, even though it looks like a terrifyingly bright neon orange. It applies to the skin in such a natural subtle flush of colour, you can see the skin right through it. You can either build it up or keep it light and sheer, plus it can also be used on the eyes and lips.<br />
<br />
I also grabbed two lipsticks that I've been eyeing up for years and yet never actually got around to purchasing. They are <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/lips/lipsticks/climax-lipstick/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Climax</a>; a rosy matte nude and the <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/lips/lipsticks/satin-lipstick-buff/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glamore Lipstick in Buff</a>; which is a cool brown with a satin finish. I must admit Buff is a tad darker than I was expecting it to be. I've always loved it on other people, however when I think about it they always have gorgeous luscious tans. Unlike little old me and my MAC NW10 complexion, so maybe I can still rock it with a bit of bronzer!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I love the Sketch Sticks, I've got two from the <a href="http://www.editingeloise.co.uk/2016/06/illamasqua-hypnotica.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hypnotica Collection</a> already. They are just such versatile products, you can use them for pretty much anything, from body art to eye shadow. Plus they don't take up too much room in your makeup bag. They have a really lovely creamy consistency that stays put. Shades such as <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/catalog/product/view/id/2554/s/sketch-stick-trance/category/213/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Trance</a> (orange) and <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/sketch-stick-trip/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Trip</a> (green), make great colour correctors. A little bit of Free (pink) is a very pretty blush. Then its always handy to have a product like <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/catalog/product/view/id/2556/s/sketch-stick-haze/category/213/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Haze</a> (black) and a fun shade such as <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/sketch-stick-higher/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Higher</a> (yellow).<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyg1z_uxNCE1fmTIW5osn_GF3r4O9BloWhgB7iUe66Bdp9kQtcYEhqwIW_neSL8bAIiMOOdbYJfy7WefkCi6INe7ZgjB4vASbgkVxlRif5qBeQa5WiAQgzaJqQUk3HedRWM6u-Qb1OAMYu/s1600/IMG_0065.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyg1z_uxNCE1fmTIW5osn_GF3r4O9BloWhgB7iUe66Bdp9kQtcYEhqwIW_neSL8bAIiMOOdbYJfy7WefkCi6INe7ZgjB4vASbgkVxlRif5qBeQa5WiAQgzaJqQUk3HedRWM6u-Qb1OAMYu/s1600/IMG_0065.jpg" /></a><br />
Another product I went a bit nuts over, were the single shadows. They were reduced down to something like £5 each. I couldn't say no! Especially when there were so many of their popular shades included in the selection. I would highly recommend adding Illamasqua shadows to your stash. They are matte shades, pack a real punch in terms of pigment, as they always do! I love them as they're such a dream to work with, they blend so easily and they just do what you want. So I grabbed <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/eyes/eye-shadows/incubus-powder-eye-shadow/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Incubus</a>; a dark grey, this one is great at Halloween for skulls by the way! <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/eyes/eye-shadows/powder-eye-shadow-in-vernau/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vernau</a>; a warm ochre brown, <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/eyes/eye-shadows/justify-powder-eye-shadow/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Justify</a>; a cool pale sand, <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/eyes/eye-shadows/wolf-powder-eye-shadow/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wolf</a>; a rich chocolate brown, <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/eyes/eye-shadows/truth-powder-eye-shadow/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Truth</a>; a cool almost purple toned brown and I couldn't not pick up a fun bright colour like <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/eyes/eye-shadows/powder-eye-shadow-in-apex/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apex</a>; which is an orange toned red, it is Illamasqua after all.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjPNxuQgHLZLcEJ4pGipV2IOWvAGvs-GRqg7d7tfGMZOqLE0t56J1dR7xTudOFfLwVodxgVm3RePgAhG0cIRE3kqzMqhT-66nfW-fEmIyY2d975HM0P1RR7zrtYJDIVdRLNNPJwFotDw_H/s1600/IMG_0066.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjPNxuQgHLZLcEJ4pGipV2IOWvAGvs-GRqg7d7tfGMZOqLE0t56J1dR7xTudOFfLwVodxgVm3RePgAhG0cIRE3kqzMqhT-66nfW-fEmIyY2d975HM0P1RR7zrtYJDIVdRLNNPJwFotDw_H/s1600/IMG_0066.jpg" /></a><br />
Lastly I added a few cult Illamasqua products into the mix, such as <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/catalog/product/view/id/395/s/android-pure-pigment/category/13/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Android Pure Pigment</a>. Which is basically just the most magical black pigment with a silver shimmer running through it. Again another great one at Halloween for a glam skull look. Or even just pressed into some liner or onto a smoky eye.<br />
<br />
I couldn't believe it when I spotted <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/eyes/eye-shadows/androgen-cream-pigment/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Androgen Cream Pigment</a> in the sale. The Cream Pigments are another great one for colour correcting, I highly recommend adding these to your kit if you're a makeup artist. The peachy pink tone of Androgen is great for under the eye, to tackle any stubborn dark circles. Due to its waxy texture it won't be disturbed by any makeup you put on top of it either. However it does also make a really great blusher or an eyeshadow base too.<br />
<br />
Finally I thought I would try the <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/face/bronzer/glint-solar-bronzing-duo/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bronzer Duo in Glint/Solar</a>. Bronzer isn't really a product I use too much of. It is one however that I want to get into the habit of using more often, these two are both more of a warm summer glow kinda product though. Not really suitable if you're looking for a matte bronzer instead, but I'm still looking forward to giving them a good go!<br />

<br />
I've been putting off writing this post for days, or had several failed attempts at writing it already. Which is really frustrating as it's something I've wanted to write ever since I started Mallow Beauty. However I've never had the guts to do it, but now after the year I've had, I want to make a change.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc5u-0GXs_83w0T5VnJIUNOt0C75gb-2BqEiUuKeI0aPzHVtJxyyZG245IgT2j6YRYvydIw5-Cbi5FAoNq6QP2SEre5NXMuQW5aXTzFmFjXyYtvKrWiWEMQS-eLyeAp1HUlHHvwLQVoO1K/s1600/IMG_0014.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc5u-0GXs_83w0T5VnJIUNOt0C75gb-2BqEiUuKeI0aPzHVtJxyyZG245IgT2j6YRYvydIw5-Cbi5FAoNq6QP2SEre5NXMuQW5aXTzFmFjXyYtvKrWiWEMQS-eLyeAp1HUlHHvwLQVoO1K/s1600/IMG_0014.jpg" /></a><br />
Which is why I'm relaunching my blog, as Editing Eloise. A place that's no longer just really about beauty, I want to discuss more than that, I want to discuss whatever I feel like discussing. Although lets face it, there still be a hell of a lot of beauty! A fresh start for the blog and me, as it's a step towards more confidence.<br />
<br />
I've missed blogging so much and I cant believe this is actually my first post of 2017! I mean I've had a year and a half of Illamasqua hauling to catch up on, haha! I feel like there's so much to cay and I don't even know where to begin. This new chapter in blogging is going to be more personal. I want to actually put more personality into Editing Eloise, which I feel Mallow Beauty lacked.<br />
<br />
The main thing that's spurred me onto do this is actually my health. I've not been feeling fantastic since January this year, which is why among other reasons, I haven't blogged in so long! Then last month I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. I've also kinda mentioned in the past on here that I also suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as well. But in a way I've always been scared of what people would think of me If I talked about it on here. However they're both things I'd like to discuss more of and just health related topics. I don't know if my experiences can help anyone else at all. But it feels good just to have somewhere for it all to spill out, which I think is what's so amazing about blogging.<br />
<br />
So before I get carried away, that is something coming to the new and hopefully improved Editing Eloise. (I hope you like it!) Please let me know If there's anything you'd like me to discuss however, as I must admit I'm still terrified of sharing more than my favourite lipsticks for once, so I might need the occasional boot up the bum to get me to stick to my word! Although it's sad to say goodbye to Mallow Beauty, here's to more beauty, fashion, food, home decor, lifestyle and whatever else takes my fancy coming in the future!<br />

Hi Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">I may of fallen into the trap of buying gifts for myself while buying for others this Christmas. With so many bargains about in the run up to Christmas and of course Black Friday too, I think it can easily be done. (I hope I'm not the only one!) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've mainly just been picking up bits and pieces for the house and some beauty bargains too. I promise I've also done some Christmas shopping too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">I picked up two of the Clarins Ombré Waterproof Shadows in </span>01 Gold Peach and <a href="http://www.clarins.co.uk/ombre-iridescente-02/80008419.html#start=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">02 Golden Sand</a> <span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">at my local Clarins counter, as they were both half price. So I like to think I kind of got a buy one get one free kind of deal haha. They were a part of this years summer collection, I already have one that I purchased for going on holiday this year. I really enjoyed using that one and it really is waterproof, it didn't really crease or smudge at all and it was comfortable on yet long wearing. I was kicking myself for not picking up more shades, though I'm glad I waited now. </span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">Of course I couldn't miss the Illamasqua Black Friday sale! I tried to be good, although they had some fantastic bargains, which were very tempting, I just stuck to four. Which included the Nail Varnish in</span> <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/remains-nail-varnish/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Remains</a> and <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/quagga-nail-varnish/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Quagga</a> which are from the <a href="http://www.mallowbeauty.co.uk/2016/09/illamasqua-extinct.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Extinct Collection</a>.<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;"> I </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">love painting my nails, but I'm limited to the shades I can wear while at work, so as much as I would of paid full price for both of these. I decided to not to purchase them originally, but at £4.50 a polish, I couldn't say no. Remains is a gorgeous purple Jewel toned glitter, which completely captures my heart. As well as quagga, which reminds me of petrol, with its green duo chrome finish. </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">I also repurchased my all time favourite Mascara, </span><a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/masquara-gain/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Masquara in Gain</a> from the <a href="http://www.mallowbeauty.co.uk/2016/04/illamasqua-metamorph.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Metamorph Collection</a>. <span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">It just does a bit of everything, length, volume and it holds a curl. As well as subtly tinting your lashes the more you use it, so even when you're not wearing mascara, it gives a little bit of definition to the lashes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">Finally from Illamasqua I grabbed </span><a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/the-corruptor/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Corruptor</a> <span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">which is their pro product. It's a thick gel consistency, that you can apply over the eyes, cheeks or lips for a glossy finish. But also layer it over other products, which it then breaks down slightly and leaves you with the most gorgeous textured finish. Especially if you want to use it for a grungy eye, it just gives everything that un perfected rougher finish which I love. I also love the packaging too, which is like an origami box, which opens up to reveal the corruptor inside. It's a bit different and something that really stands out on the market. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">Ever since I got my hands on Face By Pixiwoo, I've been trying to find the </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Face-Compact-By-Pixiwoo_1913399/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Face Compact</a>. <span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">Which is kind of like a miniature condensed version of Face. It's handbag sized and great for traveling with, it's just jam packed of useful tips and tricks, as well as gorgeous photography. It's exclusive to boots and is available online and in store, I did have a bit of difficulty trying to find it in store. But it seems to of recently popped up, so if you see it, I really recommend just grabbing it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">I can't say I'm usually one for sweet, food type scents, so I went out on a bit of a whim and purchased the </span>Zoella Lifestyle Reed Diffuser in <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Zoella/Zoella-Reed-Diffuser---Home-Made-Treats/p/713475" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Homemade Treats</a>. <span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">Every diffuser in the range comes with a matching candle, bar this one. Which made it pretty difficult to judge what the scent was going to be like. However I actually really do like it, it's quite subtle and not too over powering, it mainly smells of vanilla to me. However it does say it's suppose to be a salted caramel, baked goods kind of scent. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">Last Friday Cath Kidston released the Disney collection of dreams, collaborating with the brand to create a Mickey and Minnie Mouse collection. Which was part two of their Disney collaborations, after a successful Winnie the Pooh collection a few months before. Now although I had signed up for the Pre Sale in August and had a VIP pass, it took me nearly two hours to be able to check out and by then my basket had sold out. Which may have been the most infuriating shopping experience I have ever had. So instead I decided to go to the store the next morning and try to grab the mugs, as I've collected Cath Kidston Mugs for years and there was no way I was missing out on these. But I was in luck, as I managed to get my mitts on them in store. I've never been so pleased to see a mug in my life haha. </span>Although sadly the mugs have sold out online, you can still get a good selection of pieces from the range <a href="http://www.cathkidston.com/disney/disney-viewall/list?" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </div>

Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">I'm back with another Glossybox opening post, the last one of 2016. (I still can't get over how quick this year has flown by!) Over the past four or five years that I've been subscribed to Glossybox (I've lost count!) the festive boxes are always good, however they've picked a winner this Christmas! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm6lsajHeanEpxqOmab73IiIS62K9tkuHPk0y6Pv3ioAbcMehmZVc57AeSn6KPvt9aEA2JjIOsZ7tL3EJuyCenIeIwaol4LwLmmlaLg6LteothUtYE2qDXrPiYoo2djVm8VxxrGZgMbtmK/s1600/15388741_1393775960645994_328603026_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm6lsajHeanEpxqOmab73IiIS62K9tkuHPk0y6Pv3ioAbcMehmZVc57AeSn6KPvt9aEA2JjIOsZ7tL3EJuyCenIeIwaol4LwLmmlaLg6LteothUtYE2qDXrPiYoo2djVm8VxxrGZgMbtmK/s640/15388741_1393775960645994_328603026_o.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">There's quite a few collaborations included in this box, which is themed Mistletoe Kisses, as it's all based around lipstick. There's a collaboration between Glossybox and Missguided, which I think I'll give a go. Ive not tried a lot from Missguided, but the things I have tried have been great for the price. Then there is also another collaboration between Glossybox and Give and Makeup, who ask for new or sometimes swatched cosmetics and toiletries. Which they then donate to women in need after suffering domestic abuse. Which I think is a lovely thing to do and I'm glad Glossybox are helping to promote the idea too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">A few weeks ago I received an email from Glossybox, asking me to complete a survey to chose which lipstick I would like from MDM Flow. There were two options; a nude or a deep berry shade, whichever one you picked would determine the contents of your box for this month. It was a difficult decision seeing as at this time of year I wear both shades religiously, however the nude shade swayed me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>GOSH Mono Eyeshadow in 014 Dark Green - £8.99 for 1.7g</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">Glossybox really do know how to win my heart, a shadow that's dark green and glittery, this just screams Christmas to me. GOSH isn't really a brand that I've tried a lot from, but anything I have tried again I've loved. But they're still not a brand I would go out and pick up while in SuperDrug. As I tend to stick with what I know and love in the drugstores. However this shadow is gorgeous, the pigmentation is great, you really don't need a lot at all. The glitter doesn't seem to fall down too much and cause a massive under eye mess and it blends really nicely too, which is a win win for me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Revlon Nail Enamel in 705 Gray Suede - £6.49 for 14.7ml</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">I think Revlon polishes are one of those brands that you just can't go wrong with</span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">They have such a pretty selection of colours in a wide range, from classics to brighter and even smelly ones too. I've been looking for a new nude polish to wear to work, as I seem to have every other type of colour in my collection. I love the very subtle shimmer that runs through this, it is quite a cool toned nude, but it's wearable and doesn't drain the colour right out of your hands. Plus Revlon Nail Enamels hardly ever chip, they've got one of the best long wearing formulations I've ever tried. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>MDM Flow Lipstick in Bossy - £18 for 3.5g</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">MDM Flow is a brand that I think is a little bit more unknown, although I've heard of them and I've wanted to try one of their lipsticks for a while. It's one of those ones that I never got round to trying. (I'm still kicking myself for missing the MDM Flow X House of Glamdolls collaboration!) The lipstick itself is lovely, the formulation of it means it has a semi matte finish. It's moisturising while on and has a good amount of colour pay off, due to the formulation it doesn't drag while being applied either. The colour is quite a warm toned nude, it's definitely a little browner than I thought. The only thing I found a tiny bit disappointing is the packaging, I kind of thought it would be quiet weighty in feel. However it's quite light and just not what I expected from the look or price of it unfortunately. However I do love how fun and different it is, it really stands out on the market. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Browcote - £6.99 for 4ml</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">I can't say I'm the biggest fan of Lipcote in the world, however I'm super excited to try their newest product, Browcote. As soon as I read that it's a waterproof sealing gel for your brows, I was sold. I haven't got around to trying it just yet, but I hope I've not built my hopes up too much. As I'm imaging my brows never moving again haha. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to my trusty Illamasqua Brow Build, that also gives me colour and thickens too. As the Browcote just seals the brow hairs in place and won't give it any extra colour or depth. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Essence Light Up Your Face Luminizer Palette - £3 for 14g</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">A palette that's just £3 with three different highlighter shades inside?! Now usually I'd be a bit dubious of this actually being any good, but as its Essence and they're actually a really incredible brand when it comes to quality for the price. I'm very excited about this, especially as each shade has a slightly different finish too, giving you so many different options. The three shades are Nude Highlight; a satin natural highlighter, Rosé Highlight; a subtle shimmer pink toned highlight and Golden Highlight; a pearlescent warm golden highlighter. They're all really pigmented, although not the creamiest in feel, they are more powdery when applied. They're an incredible bargain for the selection and standard of the product. </span></div>

Hi Guys,</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">I get excited for Christmas for many reasons, one particular reason however is the fact that the Lush Christmas range makes a come back. One of the best things after a freezing cold day is to have a relaxing lush bath and they have the perfect treats to make it a festive affair. </span></div>

Last year I did a similar post, with everything that was available in the range for 2015. However as it is one of the biggest, if not the biggest collection lush does, I had to split the post into three parts. So I'm going to do the same this year, just with this years new products and I've updated last years list. Some products have changed slightly in design compared to last year, but the scents and their job has stayed exactly the same. </div>

As much as I'm very excited about the new bits and pieces, I do love the reoccurring favourites every year. You can see all of last years Christmas bath treats HERE. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u><a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bath-bombs/never-mind-ballistics" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Never Mind the Ballistics</a> - £4.50</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Growing up in a punk household I can recognise the reference anywhere to the iconic Sex Pistols album. Even the colours match up perfectly, however I personally think I prefer the bath bomb over the music. It's one of the new designs for Lush this year, just like Roller its half dipped in bath melt, to make it turn when you add it to the bath. As the fizzy orange and peach bath bomb side fizzes away, it leaves you with the relaxing, slowly dissolving melt side, to moisturise the skin. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u>Mistletoe - £4.25</u></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is such a fun one due to the colours it leaves you water, its </span>bright<span style="font-family: inherit;"> show just makes you grin with excitement as it shoots about the bath. It's a sweet scent, however its still a comforting smell and not too sickly. It includes Jasmine and Ylang Ylang to soothe and calm after a long day. </span></span></span></div>

<u>Ruby Red Slippers - £3.95</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">I couldn't quite believe it when I smelt Ruby Red Slippers, as I've had this bubble bar before, just not in the form it is now. Many moons ago Lush had a bubble bar with the same name, although it was more like a blob shape than a shoe. So it's lovely to see it back, as it's more of a spicy scent, which I don't usually love, but this one is subtle due to Rose and orange. Covered in gorgeous ruby red glitter too, it can't help but get you into a festive mood. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Snowie - £4.25</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">Snowie is of course a lovely little tribute to David Bowie from Lush. It's a lovely relaxing scent, packed with Rose, Neroli and Grapefruit oils. It's subtle but effective when it comes to leaving you feeling calm and relaxed. It's also got a subtle shimmer, adding a little bit more fun to the bubbles. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Jester - £6.50</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">As much as I've been using the reusable bubble bar wands for a few years now. I have to say it's only really been this year I've properly gotten into using them and they're great. They're so quick and easy to use, they create a mountain of bubbles with hardly any product being used and you do get a lot of uses from them. I love how fun and colourful the Jester is, I think it would be great for kids for Christmas. It's packed full of zesty mandarin and tangerine oils, which really lift the mood, which I think at this time of year can really be needed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Santasaurus - £5.95</u><br />
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">However I think this little guy wins cutest product of the year. Whoever came up with Santasaurus is a genius, although I do feel a little bad having to run him under the tap. He's too cute to meet his bubbly fate! He's another uplifting one, with orange oil inside him instead. He does also include bergamot too, just for a little bit of a floral twist. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I had to reccomened one product from the new range that's a must have, it would have to be Never Mind the Ballistics. If it's anything like Rollerball, I think I'm going to have to stock up, as I think this one is going to be the most popular this year. </div>

Hi Guys,</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the Christmas range that has become a bit of a Tanya Burr Cosmetics Tradition. They just seem to get better and better every year and this year is no exception, with lots of new products and shades, as well as popular long time favourites. Plus I think this collection has a bit more of a grown up feel about it, which is nice as it includes an older market too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBzW7x_LkrtekstgUfopfHyMSQDLH7u7ElNcBVDj-WsTsFWZXBdwHUywIMllQ8256DYIIc1o_jdQYGgSot0WKv1zij1vNKDC76rcdpCynZpZhzE5PXMiyVtA3q648KYxLM3oFFdM8l2gzt/s1600/blogmas6a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBzW7x_LkrtekstgUfopfHyMSQDLH7u7ElNcBVDj-WsTsFWZXBdwHUywIMllQ8256DYIIc1o_jdQYGgSot0WKv1zij1vNKDC76rcdpCynZpZhzE5PXMiyVtA3q648KYxLM3oFFdM8l2gzt/s640/blogmas6a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are also two other items available in the collection, however these cant be bought in store. They're either available at Feel Unique, or are online exclusives for Superdrug. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They include the Pretty Unstoppable Palette -£10, which includes a mini (and currently sold out) Martha Moo Liquid Lipstick, from the <a href="http://www.mallowbeauty.co.uk/2016/07/tanya-burr-cosmetics-soft-luxe.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Soft Luxe Collection</a>. But also a selection of warm neutral shadows; Vanilla Sugar; a satin champagne shade, Toasted Tea Cake; a ochre brown, Hot Chocolate and Cream; a shimmery taupe and Cocoa Dust; a dark cool brown. Finally there are two shades for the cheeks too, a soft highlight shade in Champagne Shimmer and a natural warm peachy blush in First Kiss. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As well as a gorgeous and quite generously sized golden holdall bag, otherwise known as The Beauty Hold Haul - £17, it's very Lulu Guinness like, with the baby pink lip pattern too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu3T2DAf8e3fo6CxAEOWHU3W9J_4-96AX3a5PGmpHIpSgAkkqhFvU33P_JyA-T6JROPIEaIniTuM2BW1yc0t9rSoxOBLPqTkpMjSYjfKWrw8UhxdJaZo2S2ZMjYiEaP0zWiVVFBanIGH4i/s1600/blogmas6b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu3T2DAf8e3fo6CxAEOWHU3W9J_4-96AX3a5PGmpHIpSgAkkqhFvU33P_JyA-T6JROPIEaIniTuM2BW1yc0t9rSoxOBLPqTkpMjSYjfKWrw8UhxdJaZo2S2ZMjYiEaP0zWiVVFBanIGH4i/s640/blogmas6b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Mrs Claus Manicure Polish Set - £5</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Mrs Claus Manicure Set comes in two different variations this year, but still both have a matching nail file too. Just like in the Candy Cane sets from last year, though I think I do prefer this years packaging. The two shades available are both very glam, especially for this time of year. There is Fairytale, the pink glitter polish, which was first released in the Tanya Burr Lips and Nails Eyecandy collection as a Christmas Limited Edition. It's nice to have it back, although is giving it a run for its money. It's such a winter shade, the rich burgundy with a creamy finish is lovely at this time of year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf9G6WeGWr-6HndW6u-7aocjsDnTuVhp1D2kx8HpAhyt-by-3ZARafX0_UCVgpBR17Lf7qg0oQQCB-fNj_5uBa6t8Gf1ZryUzk7iSRYnuq1nWftqTofsW9r8_PttoD5G2ALZe0w6NphsoE/s1600/blogmas6c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf9G6WeGWr-6HndW6u-7aocjsDnTuVhp1D2kx8HpAhyt-by-3ZARafX0_UCVgpBR17Lf7qg0oQQCB-fNj_5uBa6t8Gf1ZryUzk7iSRYnuq1nWftqTofsW9r8_PttoD5G2ALZe0w6NphsoE/s640/blogmas6c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Sealed with a Kiss Cosmetic Bag Set - £16</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: start; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">I especially love this set in particular for two reasons, the bag is great due to the fabric it's made from. It's easy to wipe down and that's always handy if you're anything like me and get makeup bags covered in makeup. But also because it includes two new products, as well as a handy little gold pocket mirror. The two new products though are both named Cherry Macaron and come in the form of a liquid </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: start; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">matte lipstick and a lip liner. Which Tanya hasn't done before in her range, both are creamy and a dream to apply. As well as being one of the most festive shades of deep cranberry red. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Baby It's Cold Outside Palette - £11</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is such a cute little blush palette, with the added extra of housing a gloss too. The gloss included is the ever so popular Afternoon Tea shade, from Tanya's original line. It's a pigmented, moisturising and long wearing gloss in a pretty coral pink shade. Then there's the blush and highlight duo, which is embossed with snow flakes to keep up the winter theme. The highlight is a pink champagne shade, with the blush being more of a pink toned nude, which is very natural but a nice flush of colour too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghp-Y6L9KpzRF_b_pwLUovfwvy9qUF7sLMts-fr7IS_fbXSpdH28511g6al8kthmP_NGZ1LiaGvKaM0CT36weT7RELZ0GWKQi8EmyTxANF3nQ3mJYSL5exw_MNuzx8qfezyoUfUqSuehhm/s1600/blogmas6d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghp-Y6L9KpzRF_b_pwLUovfwvy9qUF7sLMts-fr7IS_fbXSpdH28511g6al8kthmP_NGZ1LiaGvKaM0CT36weT7RELZ0GWKQi8EmyTxANF3nQ3mJYSL5exw_MNuzx8qfezyoUfUqSuehhm/s640/blogmas6d.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u> It's Kissmass Lip Gloss Duo - £6</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the little Lipgloss Duo is a fun little sticking filler and perfect as an introduction to either Tanya's range or just to the glosses. As I find gloss is almost the marmite of the beauty world, I must admit I'll only wear certain ones due to their formulation. But I can happily say that the formulation of Tanya's glosses is one of my favourites. The two shades on the set are Berry Pavlova, which is the true traditional red and then there is also Candy Cane, which is a fun bright pink. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Beautifully Defined Palette - £11</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Beautifully Defined Palette is the biggest palette overall, but it's perfect to create that bronzed glow look. As the Pretty Unstopable Palette is cool toned, Tanya also wanted to include a much warmer palette in the range. It still includes the Highlighter in Champagne Shimmer, but instead of a blush it also includes a warm bronzing shade too. It also has a generous sized face illuminator, which has quite a golden undertone. As well as three shadow shades in Silk Pyjamas; a shimmery milk chocolate, Cuddle Me; a copper and Baking Brownies; a dark smokey brown. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ATcPIvOWDhyhklY2eH_s7DtYxj-Ewm6b8IHd7791TSuU-SIyeG35Sat49woEWqqRxhioQFlH1UlTMgEG1dhGQCRGTzCZo2thb1XJs2t3dDL0fMvrt0N8Hk_g68xjiSb1s6ug0oHHlNnw/s1600/blogmas6e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ATcPIvOWDhyhklY2eH_s7DtYxj-Ewm6b8IHd7791TSuU-SIyeG35Sat49woEWqqRxhioQFlH1UlTMgEG1dhGQCRGTzCZo2thb1XJs2t3dDL0fMvrt0N8Hk_g68xjiSb1s6ug0oHHlNnw/s640/blogmas6e.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Tanya Presents Beauty Box - £50</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year there's also a bigger gift included in the range, unlike the <a href="http://www.mallowbeauty.co.uk/2015/11/a-tanya-burr-christmas.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">2015 Christmas Collection</a>. There wasn't really anything that went over the £25 mark and although this collection has stayed relatively the same. I think it's nice that there is this option, for more of a keep sake style gift too. It's packed full of new and exclusive goodies, such as the smokey eye trio, which is much more of a taupe and slate grey coloured palette. As well as a travel sized face illuminator, pocket mirror in a baby blue polka dot print. Plus two mail files and two classic products, Bambi False Lashes, which are natural and great as an everyday lash. Then finally a mini gloss in Picnic in the Park too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>12 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar - £25</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just like last year Tanya is back with another Advent Calendar, it's another twelve days of Christmas one. Which I do wish was a little bigger, as this has become my favourite and only beauty calendar I've purchased this year. However for cost reasons it does make more sense to have it as a twelve for calendar. So I do open this every other day, which means I haven't discovered too much of what's inside just yet, however it's always a good variation of glosses, polishes and pigments. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can find all of the items mentioned at either <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/b/Tanya%20Burr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Superdrug</a> or <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/brands/tanya-burr/sets" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Feel Unique</a>.

Hi Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've decided this year to split my gift guides into two parts. This post; which is more based on the bigger beauty gifts available this year, that would make great Christmas gifts for any beauty lover. As well as a slightly smaller second part, filled again with a fair bit of beauty, but more stocking filler bits and pieces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXLXYU4vTgqQ1F3fioLYwFqskWY5mdCp-UNFXDi1XL0FwZNngLG_PQSlF8j3RnkBOlqFhPA1iEdmGWg9KTTLUYairBh3wEpGvh_DAG9Q3pL5gfAJdE5-8v_O0JdFq-aSc9r9Tpzmw5S3hL/s1600/blogmas4a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXLXYU4vTgqQ1F3fioLYwFqskWY5mdCp-UNFXDi1XL0FwZNngLG_PQSlF8j3RnkBOlqFhPA1iEdmGWg9KTTLUYairBh3wEpGvh_DAG9Q3pL5gfAJdE5-8v_O0JdFq-aSc9r9Tpzmw5S3hL/s640/blogmas4a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many brilliant Christmas gift's available this year, to the point where I found it quite difficult to whittle it down to just eight. I've noticed that a lot of the gifts, especially with premium brands, are incredibly priced, with so many of them being the same value as the main products themselves just with added extras. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDr4CmyuLVdnFoKluR7lQCrGMzrajF-Lugw71BBrZCXBJa5mApwtSRjdmvtTD_z-KElL3Mb2GwIHI52zbkgKozo97J1mt4jSNYQfUrExaZkPGgEp6L-10sv3CLiw9V8-8SWt5tktIiX3gP/s1600/blogmas4d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDr4CmyuLVdnFoKluR7lQCrGMzrajF-Lugw71BBrZCXBJa5mApwtSRjdmvtTD_z-KElL3Mb2GwIHI52zbkgKozo97J1mt4jSNYQfUrExaZkPGgEp6L-10sv3CLiw9V8-8SWt5tktIiX3gP/s640/blogmas4d.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Possibly my favourite gift of all is <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Face-Pixiwoo/dp/1910536741/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480877193&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=pixiwooo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Face By Pixiwoo</a>, from the lovely Pixiwoo sisters, Sam and Nic. These ladies are incredible, they've been an inspiration of mine for years and a massive influence in my career. Not only are they Youtube royalty, they're such phenomenal makeup artists who have so much to share, especially now with Face. It's a fantastically educational read, it's a must have for any makeup enthusiast, I could just stare at the gorgeous photographs all day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Though the ladies also have one of the best brush brands around and this year there are plenty of gift sets to go around. Including the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Real-Techniques/Real-Techniques-Artistry-Set/p/718822" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Real Techniques Artistry Set</a>, packed full of a bit of everything. It's a great kit to either top up your brush stash or as a starter kit. It includes a range of brushes for the face and eyes, as well as the award winning miracle sponge. Plus a brush cleaner, to keep everything well cared for and a brilliant case, to keep your brushes in while travelling as well as storing plenty of makeup. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For me Christmas means sparkle and two brands that do sparkly makeup ever so well are Illamasqua and Urban Decay. This year is no exception especially with the <a href="http://www.urbandecay.co.uk/en_GB/what-s-new/holiday-2016/naked-illuminated-trio/ud786.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Urban Decay Naked Illuminated Trio</a>, the Naked Illuminated Powders are so popular for Urban Decay. So it's very exciting to get these three miniature limited edition shades in a palette. It includes Pyrite; a golden champagne, Oasis; a marbled taupe and Twilight; a coppery pink, as well as having quite a good quality double ended brush too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Illamasqua have carried on the theme of their Extinct Collection for Christmas this year. I could of squealed with delight when I saw the <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/whats-new/eyes-that-hypnotise-gift-set/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Illamasqua Eyes That Hypnotise Gift Set</a>. Illamasqua Pure Pigments are gorgeous, they're one of my favourite products and I would recommend them to everyone! These finely milled shimmery loose pigments can transform any look and are so multifunctional. Wether you want to use them in a body lotion, on the eyes, as a highlighter or even mixed with Sealing Gel as a lipstick. The three shades included are Beguile; a pearl, Fortune; a true gold and Alluvium; a midnight blue.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A brand which I think is a little unknown but screams luxury is Aerin and the <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/aerin-evening-rose-eau-de-parfum-50ml/p1127580" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aerin Evening Rose Eau De Parfum 50ml</a> is no exception. It's such a gorgeous bottle to have sat on the dressing table, with the gemstone top. It's a warm scent, with a softness about it, with its main note being Bulgarian Rose, as well as Cognac and Blackberry too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the candle lovers, Jo Malone is a go to when it comes to luxury. I personally love the <a href="http://www.jomalone.co.uk/product/3560/29549/for-the-home/home-candles/green-tomato-leaf-home-candle" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jo Malone Green Tomato Leaf Home Candle</a>, as it's such a clean fresh scent. It's really not what you expect when you read tomato, but its homely and lovely for the new year. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Though if you're after something that smells a little bit more like Christmas. Then the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Gifts-For-Her/Zoella-Spa-In-A-Jar/p/709718" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zoella Spa in a Jar</a> is the one, the Zoella Christmas range this year is Gingerbread scented. It's warm and cosy and good enough to eat and I even say that, as someone who isn't usually one for the spicy scents. Included in the jar are a Shower Gel and Body Cream, as well as a very soft flannel too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally there is also the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Gifts-for-Her/Gifts-For-Her/Tanya-Burr-%27Tanya-Presents%27-Beauty-Box/p/709703" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tanya Burr Tanya Presents Beauty Box</a> in the run up this year too. Especially as it's currently such a bargain at nearly half price at Superdrug just now. The box is lovely as it can be reused and great just to store all those beauty bits and pieces in. But inside its packed full of goodies, such as a little hand mirror, mini lipgloss in , two nail files, an exclusive smokey eye trio set made up of champagnes and taupes, Bambi lashes and a face Illuminator too. </div>

Hi Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: start; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">For my third and final Halloween this year, I had to break out the colour. I love these Cartoon Zombie looks as you can literally just go to town with lots of fun bright shades and make it your own. So even though I've gone for more of a purple theme, the world is your oyster and you can easily mix it up a bit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiqZi7g4OO20obzXFRmhDfU9QKBT2qs1-QEEYsBpt-bOaNCshQEoHsU_H4UcNfScksoEHIYI7zPfL5GoanfC1ZvNfxu1_zTMQ5-4oIiNqS25PH8SgKG9HcqORNkPAL9UIZ1kLX1b5fgHBB/s1600/zombie1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiqZi7g4OO20obzXFRmhDfU9QKBT2qs1-QEEYsBpt-bOaNCshQEoHsU_H4UcNfScksoEHIYI7zPfL5GoanfC1ZvNfxu1_zTMQ5-4oIiNqS25PH8SgKG9HcqORNkPAL9UIZ1kLX1b5fgHBB/s640/zombie1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: start; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"> I also knew I wanted glitter, so I must admit I kinda just went with it for this look. But sometimes just having a bit of an experiment and play around creates some of your favourite looks. But mainly my inspiration has come from the fantastic cartoon zombie make ups I've seen over the years, if you haven't seen them, you need to have a snoop. There's some absolutely brilliant ones out there. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi06OFbNVRxqBGvF1EQJUE5r8MD5iJeGv09R8hYerfdt8wYS2w4G6ymdtmNAereHF2T4HI1c4FFJGuZu9PeGa2zZ8GAs421T91HJgVqr2HIiTlrSS9vltHXVTH0EACb6vqp9PUhnxvyI2DH/s1600/zombie2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi06OFbNVRxqBGvF1EQJUE5r8MD5iJeGv09R8hYerfdt8wYS2w4G6ymdtmNAereHF2T4HI1c4FFJGuZu9PeGa2zZ8GAs421T91HJgVqr2HIiTlrSS9vltHXVTH0EACb6vqp9PUhnxvyI2DH/s640/zombie2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To begin with I started off with a good layer of Baby Blue Snazaroo Face Paint. You could also mix a pigment with a white foundation, that would give you a more even finish and leave your skin feeling a bit more moisturised too. However I went for the face paint, just be careful however as they do tend to go patchy sadly.<br />
<br />
I also used the Illamasqua Colouring Pencil in S.O.P.H.I.E to create an outline for my brain, I didn't colour this area blue so I could get a truer colour too. I then filled in the area with Illamasqua Skin Base in White and patted Sugarpill Dollipop Shadow over the top. This really makes the colour stand out. Finishing off the brain with the added squiggly details with S.O.P.H.I.E again.<br />
<br />
As well as taking S.O.P.H.I.E through the brow and around the mouth, as an outline for later on.<br />
However I did also fill in the brows with Illamasqua Powder Shadow in Obsidian too, just so there were no gaps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggo9d8WLLcEl4CNhPs5Gjc3IKLhGo3pt8A3YJAxljKGp4WencBDJ_U5Rpn47v4qA8RBFpssVE5m9oF5lZs_ogGPbPQM5sZXAWevZaf7dVPmiOG2IwBeaBhFoRK8XcbTj0lAf6CXEvltFyd/s1600/zombie3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggo9d8WLLcEl4CNhPs5Gjc3IKLhGo3pt8A3YJAxljKGp4WencBDJ_U5Rpn47v4qA8RBFpssVE5m9oF5lZs_ogGPbPQM5sZXAWevZaf7dVPmiOG2IwBeaBhFoRK8XcbTj0lAf6CXEvltFyd/s640/zombie3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the eyes I used my trusty base of MAC Paint Pot in Painterly, and then dusted Illamasqua's White Blusher over the top. Followed by Illamasqua Can Can through the crease of the eye lightly, but also Illamasqua Inception to deepen it slightly. Over the whole lid of the eye, I pressed MAC Vanilla Pigment, to give a subtle shimmer and really contrast with the purple tones. Finally I finished the eye off with Illamasqua Obsidian Powder Shadow as a liner and Can Can and Inception ran under the lower lash line too. As well as a good coat of the Illamasqua Masquara in Gain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWoLpJXqqk0lhc6QnnfNnntkJzNQwY_-k1xoWO5TbF4A2IIZ9ghIMWlzHQL7cWaCkG-qRB3a4_ygCJkE0Pk9rxaACtzQ2dhtPZ1jNxQzslplcjH9ztXEDlwZqFjDjsyGLI9DqCgnYSbAwh/s1600/zombie4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWoLpJXqqk0lhc6QnnfNnntkJzNQwY_-k1xoWO5TbF4A2IIZ9ghIMWlzHQL7cWaCkG-qRB3a4_ygCJkE0Pk9rxaACtzQ2dhtPZ1jNxQzslplcjH9ztXEDlwZqFjDjsyGLI9DqCgnYSbAwh/s640/zombie4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The contour is pretty simple, it basically consists of two Sugarpill Powder Shadows in After Party and Velocity. To give some depth and then a thin line of Illamasqua Gel Liner, for the definition, then you've got Zombie Cartoon cheekbones! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrieKHIH0bKXx2wC6ABF0vqDIykcrcSDBtrTCqpik63193uscnYYcHd0Co9buXQs95gbwPMrOD9o5kW9siLc3y907zTnZstXAqCiRZ1t83CCzDzyOijdq_IU-PshtPmJj6xp7VBM2UmICv/s1600/zombie5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrieKHIH0bKXx2wC6ABF0vqDIykcrcSDBtrTCqpik63193uscnYYcHd0Co9buXQs95gbwPMrOD9o5kW9siLc3y907zTnZstXAqCiRZ1t83CCzDzyOijdq_IU-PshtPmJj6xp7VBM2UmICv/s640/zombie5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To add some little finishing touches to the final look, I also used the S.O.P.H.I.E pencil to dot some pretty simple scars across the face. Mainly just where there isn't a lot going on, it really adds and finishes the final look off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then finally for the glitter tears, I used the Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner in Distortion, to draw on a rough shape. Then outlining it again with S.O.P.H.I.E, but adding more glitter to really fill in the gaps. You could press a loose glitter on top to make it extra sparkly, as this certain shade of glitter reflects under the light but isn't overly glitter either. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_8BdLXbqYx0IF_HOr6cHt_NqFX-9vy-16FD0bZRNSvUNDbiKHXxyPXF5_vTH6KoRZIADMisWiPJDTxI8v8t-1On4wJ5HTLpCO2_WqUz1W4P-l4iUKvc0tAfgcldCFy2mDP4U1OAtbMuXq/s1600/zombie6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_8BdLXbqYx0IF_HOr6cHt_NqFX-9vy-16FD0bZRNSvUNDbiKHXxyPXF5_vTH6KoRZIADMisWiPJDTxI8v8t-1On4wJ5HTLpCO2_WqUz1W4P-l4iUKvc0tAfgcldCFy2mDP4U1OAtbMuXq/s640/zombie6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the mouth, I followed the same kind of steps as I did with the brains, a base of White Skin Base. Then outlining the teeth with S.O.P.H.I.E filling them in with a layer of Intrigue Blusher from Illamasqua to keep it set in place. Then filling in any of the white outside the teeth and inside the outline, withSugapill Dollipop.<br />
<br />
Then with a coat of the Illamasqua Matte Lip Liquid in Exoskeleton for the other side. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lush are back with another fantastic Halloween collection this year and I think it's also one of the largest ones they've ever done. It's been a while since theres been such a selection of spooky goodies to pick from, wether they're bath bombs or body products too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdoZmaXkPDUtQ6wA7Wa59P7ZXa6s4zXy2pEPnmmHyKP3qDXOOg10Ob444jtldppsqOYnpipDqPRC8p4pZ-Max0GGMOJVoJ_T433byj1N5imc8w5axS3PyF-BN5aPhYfn02a2oPN5wYwMZV/s1600/lushhalloween1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdoZmaXkPDUtQ6wA7Wa59P7ZXa6s4zXy2pEPnmmHyKP3qDXOOg10Ob444jtldppsqOYnpipDqPRC8p4pZ-Max0GGMOJVoJ_T433byj1N5imc8w5axS3PyF-BN5aPhYfn02a2oPN5wYwMZV/s640/lushhalloween1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a couple of products that I haven't mentioned in this post, that came out in the <a href="http://www.mallowbeauty.co.uk/2015/10/spa-tacular-halloween-with-lush.html" target="_blank">Halloween</a> 2015 range. Though I have reviewed them before, the two products that had to make a comeback are Sparkly Pumpkin and of course Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb and Shower Cream. I am a little sad though that Nightwing Shower Jelly hasn't made an appearance this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But as well as the old favourites making a comeback, there are also two traditional soaps included in the collection too. There is <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/soaps/fireside" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fireside</a> - £4.25, a spicy and warming scent made from clove and vanilla and then there's <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/soaps/magic-wand" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Magic Wand</a> - £3.50. Which is a citrusy uplifting scent, with its main ingredients being tangerine and pomegranate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid7Yf0KPsSwnlKIy5XZLG0m4Tpn9so3nLzIWgzpcFdmVonTcLVcfLgKX3MKw18yox_A_VboYkqmozGaEv0Po_vMbHWo26d8GcktjOWRMqiWYjsqCPmG0bJLOnTKvnddfxiR3dN37xhwNxU/s1600/lushhalloween2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid7Yf0KPsSwnlKIy5XZLG0m4Tpn9so3nLzIWgzpcFdmVonTcLVcfLgKX3MKw18yox_A_VboYkqmozGaEv0Po_vMbHWo26d8GcktjOWRMqiWYjsqCPmG0bJLOnTKvnddfxiR3dN37xhwNxU/s640/lushhalloween2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two of the new bath bombs in this collection include <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/new/autumn-leaf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Autumn Leaf</a> - £3.75, which may be my favourite of them all. I cant quite decide between this and Pumpkin, it's such a crisp scent. I love the hint of lemon that's hidden inside, plus the colours that explode from it while it fizzes away in the bath makes you feel all autumnal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bath/pumpkin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pumpkin</a> - £3.25 is another quite fresh scent, although I would say it's a tad heavier than Autumn Leaf. As much as it still has that citrus kick, it's packed with spices such as cinnamon. Yet it's soft enough for me, as I'm not one for spicy scents, as it also includes vanilla. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/new-products/boo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Boo</a> Bath Melt - £3.50 might be the cutest little bath melt I've ever seen since the Melting Snowman. This little guy dissolves softly and slowly into the water, leaving a lovely moisturised feeling to the skin. It's soothing and relaxing, while also meaning that if you're like me and never have enough time! You can skip the body moisturiser as Boo will do it all for you. </div>

Although the <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bath-bombs/monsters-ball" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Monsters' Ball</a><span style="text-align: center;"> - £4.25 is a bath bomb, it includes a little treat in the shape of his eye. A hidden bath melt! So you get the fun of the fizz, but that little bit of an extra treat as it moisturises the skin just like Boo. The scent of this one is uplifting with lime and so much fun, it really perks up your mood, which can be needed when it's so dull and dreary outside. </span></div>

The last product I picked up from the Halloween collection this year is <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/new-products/goth-fairy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Goth Fairy</a> - £5.50. Of course I couldn't leave this one behind, sharing it's scent with the ever so popular Snow Fairy. I hope this little one will be around for years to come. The Shimmer Bars have been a favourite of mine for years, filled with gorgeous shimmering lustres, you can't help but love them. A bit of sparkle never goes a miss at this time of year!</div>
