<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I realised the other day that I had a number of nail polishes that I have bought for some reason or another and I haven't actually used. Most of these were purchased on my lunch break where I will <em>'pop into Boots'</em> to see what they have got. I have made swatches of them to get an idea what they look like. It's sunny outside today (for a change) so I think I am going to wear Barry M's Ridley Road. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For a long time to me foundation has meant completely getting rid of flaws, imperfections and creating a new base. I have a lot of dark areas on my face which is something I developed from adult acne. So normally I would reach for a foundation that gives me a medium/full coverage and then cover-up with concealer and touch-up with powder. Over the past nine months I have really invested my time (and money) on a skincare routine and feel my skin has really improved and lately have been thinking that I could get away with wearing a lighter foundation and just touching up on my imperfections with concealer. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I mentioned in a previous post that I visited the Laura Mercier counter, where I was originally looking for their Silk Crème foundation, but was kindly introduced to their <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Laura+Mercier+Oil-Free+Tinted+Moisturizer+SPF+20/133996508,default,pd.html" target="_blank">Tinted Moisturiser SPF 20 Oil Free in Walnut</a>. Its described as <em>"...the perfect blend of skincare and makeup..."</em>, this give my skin a really light coverage, almost even coverage and any imperfections I cover up with concealer. Throughout the day my skin looks normal and stays oil-free for at least 8 hours, which is great cause this means my face doesn't start to slide off and I don't feel like I am wearing a mask towards the end of the day. And a new plus + its got an SPF20 which helps protect my skin form the sun, this is something I have never really been to concerned with, but in my old age any anti-ageing benefits are good to me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But seriously I really like this, I love the way skin still feels like my skin and I still look really natural. I think this is going to become a staple in my make-up bag and I would definitely recommend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Are there any Laura Mercier Foundations you like or is there another tinted moisturiser you would recommend.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There was a day lady week where I was footloose and child free. I took full advantage of this a trip into Colchester, which is about 20 mins from where I live. I am an only child so I really enjoy my own company and love, love, love shopping on my own and I kinda knew what I wanted so knew what shops to hit. First was William & Griffin, is a department store (part of the Fenwick Group) and I have been wanting to get my hands on Laura Mercier Silk Creme so I headed straight for that counter. I was served by the best sales women who I had the best time with. She advised me that the didn't make the Silk Creme in my colour range (boo!!) but colour matches me to their Tinted Moisturiser SPF20. I was with here for quite a while but she was fab and I was able to try a few other products too. Then I popped into Topshop, there is a small TS where I live but they don't have makeup and I have heard so much about their range but viewing online is different to what you actually see, so I invested in one of their crayons. My final stop was Boots where they had such a big range of the Real Technique Brushes. I got the blush brush with my points, I have been want this for ages and I must say points well spent. Then I took advantage of their 3 for 2 promotion and got the Real Technique Shading brush, Revlon Girly polish and Barry M Gelly polish in Plum. I was there for just a short time but feel I spent my time wisely and was very happy with my purchases. I am sure full reviews will be up as soon as... </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have been wanting to do this post for a while now. People often ask me what moisturiser I use on my face, not because I have amazing skin I think its more that they cant get over how old I am compared to my skin. This is not something I have just gotten into... Honestly this is like my religion, I have been moisturised since the day I was born. Since my teens I have been trying to find the perfect facial moisturiser and I think I have. I have said before that I have combination skin, so there are areas of my skin that are normal, oily and even dry throughout the day. My main mission is to find something that provides me with balance, and I think I have...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.origins.co.uk/product/3868/23830/Skincare/Concern/Rehydrate-Repair/Make-A-Difference-Plus/Rejuvenating-Treatment/index.tmpl" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Origins Make a Difference Plus + </strong><em>Rejuvenating Treatment</em></span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, 50ml, £33.00</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This rejuvenating treatment is infused with rose of Jericho Lychee and Watermelon together these help to add moisture to dehydrated skin. The gel-like formula is recommended for combination skin and has a scent that reminds me of essential oils. I find this to be a really light moisturiser and after I apply it to my skin it feels a little tight. I tend to wear this on the days that I wear makeup where I will layer my skin with a serum, moisturiser, primer and then foundation and that is enough for me as my makeup lasts a lot longer. This will be great in the summer, but on its own at the moment its just not enough, I need more hydration, which leads me to...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.esteelauder.co.uk/product/688/13158/Product-Catalog/Skincare/By-Category/Moisturisers/DayWear/Advanced-Multi-Protection-Anti-Oxidant-Creme-SPF-15/index.tmpl" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Estee Lauder </strong>Daywear <em>Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Crème</em> SPF 15</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, 50ml, £39.00</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This comes in two formula's for oily/combination and dry skin. The oily/combination formula is lightweight and silky for just right balance of richness and refreshment, it has an SPF and contains vitamins C and E. I actually got this as a sample from an Estee Lauder counter and I have fallen in love with it. It gives me a little more that I have been looking for and is perfect for this time of year as it is that much creamier to take you through the day. My skin is really dehydrated so the richness of this great on its own on my days off but I do wear this on my makeup days and will wear it under a mineral foundation which helps keep my oiliness at bay. This can be used day or night, I think this is the best way to start the day as it has the most refreshing cucumber scent. This was a free sample so I only found out the price after I started using it and I only have a tiny, tiny amount left. The price tag scare me and my bank balance a little but is some thing I would definitely recommend, pop down to your local beauty counter to see what little treats you might get.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">What is your go too moisturiser? Do you use Origins or Estee Lauder products? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since my post on Bioderma Crealine H2O, I have been waiting for what seems like forever to get through my bottle of Bioderma. I only used it to take off my make-up and I only wear make-up when I have been at work, I work part-time so that's four times a week. Anyway I have really enjoyed using it this miracle solution to remove my professional face. But for the past two weeks I have be using a new</span><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/La-Roche-Posay-Physiological-Micellar-Solution-200ml_866277/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Micellar Water by La Roche-Posay</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, it's a solution for sensitive skin that helps remove make-up and impurities from face eyes and lips. I am going to be honest I wasn't to sure about this when I first started using it, I don't know what it was, but the texture of the water felt a little hard, you know like when you visit a country with warmer climate and their water feels, well a little softer. I don't know... well I am over that now after using this for a few weeks because it does do the trick. After a hard day I soak a cotton pad first and remove my eye make-up and I have to say this is very gently around the eyes and removes every trace of eye make-up, I have to admit that this sometimes didn't happen with the Bioderma. The same with taking my make-up off my face, I do this three time and the last cotton pad wipes away almost clean and that's when I go on to <em>double cleanse</em>. Overall I like the product as it does a good job it's really gently and helps me get a head start on my evening cleanse. The only negative thing I have to say is that your not really getting that much for your money, I found this in Boots' premium skincare sections, so I paid £11.50 for 200ml and I got 500ml from Bioderma for around the same price. Bioderma is now available in the UK and you can find cheaper Micellar Waters from places like </span><a href="http://www.superdrug.com/b/skin/icat/bs-bskin" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Superdrug</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, Will I buy this again?? Probably not any time soon as their are similar products I would like to try out and I have got my eye on the Micellar Water from Bioderma for dehydrated skin, so watch this space.</span></div>

I first heard about this product after reading rave reviews about it in </span><a href="http://www.beautymouth.com/2012/08/hall-of-fame-hydraluron.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Beauty Mouth</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> where I was immediately drawn in. I ummed and arhhed about this product for a while, until I finally purchased it about 8 weeks ago. My skin was feeling really dehydrated, I was happy with the moisturiser I was already using but felt I needed something a little extra. After reading the packaging I knew not to expect anything great to change straight away and that I would have to give it at least eight weeks. For the first two weeks I followed the directions and applied a small amount of the serum onto my face before applying my usual moisturiser and I have to say I wasn't happy. My skin still felt tight and like it needed more of a punch (of moisturisation, not an actual punch), I am quite lucky as my work colleague had purchased Hydraluron around the same time as me, so we had bonding material during <strong>quite</strong> periods of work (just in case my manager reads this). I expressed my concerns to her and she felt the same, but we both said we were going to continue using it. Two more weeks down the road I completely changed my mind and I had actually noticed a difference in my skin, there was no more tightness, no dry patches across my nose, my skin felt evenly hydrated and plump. I am in my eighth week of using Hydraluron and have got to say that I am really happy with it. I apply it once a day after cleansing but before moisturising in the morning as I have a different routine in the evening. A little really does go a long way as I apply only a pearl size amount of the gel like formula onto my face. Also I feel using this product has taught me a real lesson about myself I am really impatient and expect miracles to happen over night, when actually if you give things time they may actually pay off. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hello...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have been away for a little while... I have not really been up to much, in fact I have been bored out of my brain doing the usual mundane everyday things. I think it quite easy to get stuck in a rut, so I have been thinking about the things I like doing and top of my list was my blog... so here I am!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I knew winter was on its way, but nothing tells you like your lip splitting when you smile. Yeah this happened to me!! Every winter I suffer with sore/chapped lips and I have to make sure I am in constant supply of lip balm. This year I have decided to treat my lips to a little TLC!! The other day I went a little crazy in </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Lush</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, as one has recently opened in the town I live in. I had heard allot about there </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/6080/Popcorn-Lip-Scrub" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'Popcorn Lip Scrub' </span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">from reading other blogs so headed straight for it! Where I found that I had a choice of three </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/search/results/?term=lip+scrub" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'Mint Julips and Bubblegum'</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. After smelling/trying them all the little girl with a sweet tooth within me could resist the Bubblegum Lip Scrub, this pink lip scrub contains Caster Sugar which helps to buff off any dead skin and Organic Jojoba Oil which leave the lips moisturised and soft. This smells so good you could eat it <em>(no really, you can eat it!!) </em> But just brush the excess of and then follow up with <em>in my opinion</em> the ultimate lip balm Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm, for deep conditioning lip treatment. Perfect!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Are your lips more chapped/sore this time of year? How do you treat your lips with a little TLC?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I would love to here from you. </span></div>

Ta Dah... Oh?!<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/No7-Match-Made-service-find-the-right-foundation-for-you_1283248/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Source</span></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Long time, no blog... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sorry I have been abit MIA but, I have been really busy at work, then I was ill and then everyone else in my house hold was ill, so I had to play nurse. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Anyway I am back and I want to share with you my thoughts on some of my new purchases. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here in the UK there has been a little buzz with the new No.7 Foundation Match Made Service. I was desperate to see how this worked and would pop into Boots in my lunch break to get my foundation match but, would always be met by a long ques of women waiting to take their turn in the chair. Finally on my day off I got my chance to sit down with one of there lovely assistants who placed their machine on my jaw line on each side of my cheek to discover my perfect foundation and colour matched me with Walnut. We discussed what my skin type was like and what I was really looking for in a foundation and she suggested the Stay Perfect Liquid. When applied it gave me medium coverage and a semi matte finish, its long lasting (up to 16 hours) and left my skin feeling nice when touched... Sold! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When I got home it was a different story, when applied to my whole face my skin looked lifeless, dull and ashy. I think the problem is that there are only two shades for darker skin tones and the machine and the assistant just worked with what they had and this just wasn't right for me. Which is a shame because my experience good, I really liked the glass frosted packaging and was really happy with the aftercare service when I told them of my complaint. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Technology is great but you cant beat the old fashioned way of going int a store, blending there foundation into your jaw line, stepping outside into natural daylight with a mirror and seeing if you have got a good colour match... For me anyway I am part of that 8% who was not satisfied.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Have you tried the new No.7 Foundation colour Match Made Service? What did You think?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I was recently tagged in a <em>'This or That'</em> post by </span><a href="http://misslaceyloves.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">misslaceyloves</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and thought why not join in as it a fun way for you to get to know me a little bit more. I was given 13 <em>'This or That'</em> questions about makeup and I also threw in a couple more in the mix. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Makeup</strong></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>1. Blusher or Bronzer </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have to admit that I have a thing for blushers, I am usually drawn to bright pinks but I recently discovered </span><a href="http://www.sleekmakeup.com/en/products/blush-rose-gold-428.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Flushed by Sleek Makeup</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> which is more of a plumb colour. I use my blush brush to sweep this powder formulation over my cheeks, which give me a warm look and I think it suits m skin tone perfectly. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>2. Lipgloss or Lipstick</strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Mmmm this is a tricky one as I prefer coloured lip balms because I have got dry lips I find the more hydrating, so I am not sure what category they fall into?? My coloured lipbalm/stain of choice is Revlon Just Bitten in Lovesick </span><a href="http://five10eleven.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/revlon-just-bitten-kissable-lovesick.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">review</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. I love it as it is a lush colour, hydrates my lips and stains my lips all day long. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>3. Chapstick or Lipbutter </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I do always have something hanging around but I am going to have to choose lipbutter(ish). I cant tell you enough how much I like Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm (actually I can </span><a href="http://five10eleven.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/my-bf-went-to-france-and-all-i-got-was.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">review</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">). I apply this matte lip treatment at night and wake up with lovely feeling lips.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>4. Matte or Sparkle Eye Shadow</strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">At the moment I use a little bit of both, I put </span><a href="http://www.barrym.com/products/eyes/shadows/dazzle-dust.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Barry M Dazzle Dust in Bronze</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> all over the lid and No7 Stay Perfect Matte Mocha is blended into the crease of my eye. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>5. Eyeliner or Mascara</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This one is easy... Once upon a time my bf told me that I have got little eyelashes like a pig (romantic, eh), anyway this has stayed with me so I pile on the mascara. At the moment I am using </span><a href="http://www.feelunique.com/brands/benefit/make-up?gclid=CJjf-tGg-7ECFUVTfAod-UQA_w" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Bad Gal Lash by Benefit in Black</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and am tempted to try their <em>They're Real! Beyond Mascara in Black. </em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>6. Gel, Liquid, Cream Pencil Eyeliner</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have them all but I always use pencil in black and I just use one from </span><a href="http://www.superdrug.com/eyes/collection-2000-khol-eyeliner-pencil-1/invt/142331/&bklist=" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Collections</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> that seem to do the trick, it precise and smudges well. I apply this to my top lid the smudge/blend for a more natural line. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>7. Foundation or Concealer</strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Foundation gives me a good, all over, even coverage. I have a few foundations but the one I like using at the moment is Yves Saint Laurent Le Teint Touche Eclat in B90 </span><a href="http://five10eleven.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/le-teint-touche-eclat-new-foundation.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">review</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. Excellent coverage leaving me with a even skin tone. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>8. Liquid or Powder Foundation</strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">See Above.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>9. Neutral or Statement Eyes</strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Neutral eye during the day and smokey statement eyes for the evening. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>10. Pressed or Loose powder</strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I use pressed for that finished look as I always drop some powder on my light carpets. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>11. Waterproof or Non-Waterproof</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Waterproof all the way as there is no movement and I have a fantastic makeup remover. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>12. Brushes, Sponges or Fingers</strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have a (OCD) thing about makeup being on my hands so I use brushes as I think sponges are a little unhygienic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>13. Powder, Cream or Liquid Highlighter </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I don't really use highlighter, I do own the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.yslbeauty.co.uk/make-up/complexion/touche-eclat/touche-eclat.aspx" target="_blank">Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat in Dark</a> but it doesn't really do anything for me as I think I got a shade that was too dark for me and I after that Kim Kardashian look. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>14. Eyebrow Pencil or Powder</strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">When I am in the mood I try to go for the <em>'Scouse Brow'</em> and I try to achieve this by using <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/shaded/149/263/Products/Eyes/Brow/Eye-Brows/index.tmpl" target="_blank">Mac Eye Brow in Stud</a>. I flick it through the brow and then brush my brows for a natural look. Its great cause there is no need for a sharpener as you just twist the end. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>15. Fake Eye Lashes or Eyelash Curlers </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I do use eyelash curlers more often but as I have 'little piggy' eyelashes I am going to go with fake, fake, fake... There is a girl at work with amazing eyes lashes and after grilling her about them she recommended a really cheap pair for just £1.99 from Just Eessentials and they are 100% human hair. They look amazing on I got them in short, I will review soon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For a while now I have been reaching for </span><a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/skincare/serums/nutriganics-smoothing-serum.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Nutriganics Smoothing Serum</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> by The Body Shop. It was recommended to me by one of the Sales Consultants who gave me a sample to try at home. After my trail I was so im pressed I purchased the full size. I was drawn to this because the ingredients are 99% organic, it's pre moisturiser agents and claims to fight the first signs of ageing (which comforted my ageing paranoia). At the time my skin was also dry and dull in areas so looking for something to give it that boost and this worked it really did, to the point that my face has almost been glowing... too much. My face has been glowing so much that my make-up feels heavy and is almost sliding off of my face and breakouts... I don't mind the odd blemish but my skin of late has had spots the size of boils, they are under the skin and painful. So I changed my moisturiser to one that is more for oily/combination skin but I was still finding myself with the same problems, so I stopped using the serum and my skin feels normal (well as normal as combination skin can be). This is a shame because this is a really nice product and seem to do everything it said it would, it just wasn't right for my skin. I do think that on the right skin this could really complement someones skin routine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I would also like to say a big THANK YOU to <a href="http://misslaceyloves.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lacey</a> and to Makeup and London for being my first followers xx</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Do you use a serum? Is there a product you love but hate? I would love to hear from you.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This foundation is Yves Saint Laurent latest edition to their <a href="http://www.yslbeauty.co.uk/make-up/complexion/foundation/le-teint-touche-eclat-foundation.aspx" target="_blank">Touche Eclat</a> range. I have been hearing the buzz about this foundation for a few weeks now, so I went to my local department store and picked up a sample. There are 22 shades available and I got shade B90, the shade is a little darker that I would usually wear but my skin is a little darker with it being summer. during the winter months I think I could probably get away with wearing B80 or even BD70. The light of Touche claims to:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'... target shadowy areas and highlights the contours of the face. With no opaque powders, its perfecting texture evens the complexion and helps conceal your imperfections, while enhancing your skin’s natural beauty. Illuminating foundation. Dimensional radiance. Weightless perfection.' </span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is a light formula with medium coverage, I have pigmented areas of my skin and this really did even it out giving me an even skin tone. I blended this into my skin using my finger, I didn't get that heavy feeling you sometime get, almost like you are wearing a mask. My skin felt flawless for most of the day, I did get that congested feeling towards the end of the day, but I think that maybe due to my skin being really oily at the moment. The first day of wearing this foundation a women approached me to tell me that show thought I had <em>flawless</em> skin and how <em>lucky</em> I was, so I had to let let her in on the YSL foundation (should be a rep'), and was left feeling fantastic for the rest of the day. This is something I will definitely be purchasing the full size of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This is avaliable in all good department store <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/beauty/yves-saint-laurent" target="_blank">link</a> and <a href="http://www.yslbeauty.co.uk/make-up/complexion/foundation/le-teint-touche-eclat-foundation.aspx" target="_blank">online</a> RRP £28.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hi Guys, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I wanted to share a little beauty buy I made the other day before work. You may or may not know that </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Revlon-Just-Bitten-Kissable-Lip-Balm-Stain_1208067/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Revlon, Just Bitten Kissable</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> has finally arrived in the UK. I don't want to say it, but they are the high street dupe of </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Clinique-Chubby-Sticks-Lip-Balm_1189413/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Clinques, Chubby Stick Lip Balm</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and in my opinion they are much better. I picked up Lovesick to describe the colour it is like a fuchsia pink, which is very adventurous for me. It was that or Crush which I felt I already had a few variations of this colour already and felt like a change. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is really easy to apply, I apply it to one lip and then rub my lips together and then apply to the other and then repeat as I feel this give me even coverage. I am left with hydrated, smooth, tingling, fuchsia tinted lips. I think the tingle comes from the smell of soft mint which I quite like and think that this also encourages me to pout more too. The colour on my lips is exactly the same as the stick and this is amazing to me because I have dark lips so expected the colour to change once on, but it didn't so I am happy. This is a stain so once the balm has worn a little my lips still have that hint of pink on them. I love the packaging, but the content doesn't really reflect the size of the pencil, which is abit of a shame. This currently available to buy in the UK from </span><a href="http://www.superdrug.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Superdrug</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Boots</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> at an introductory price of of £5.99 (RRP £7.99). Grab them while you can they are a steal. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Have you tried the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable? Or any other lip stain? </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor; text-align: justify;">

<div style="border: currentColor; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hi Guys,</span></div>
<div style="border: currentColor; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Long time no speak. I have really missed not updating my post but, I started my new job on Sunday and have been really busy. Excuses, excuses, I am going to try and get into some regular posting now. I am loving it and constantly thinking of new ideas to keep you updated. I am always thinking 'oh I can blog about this and that...' think it might turn into information overload and you guys will be like <em>too much information, </em>so I will filter my ideas (manic). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Anyway I said a few posts ago that my <em>bf</em> was going to France without me, so he was given a shopping list. He is not good with things like this and I would never think about sending him out with a shopping list here because he would get it wrong or get over whelmed by the range of product and just give up (his not a marathon shopper like me). So when he came back and told me that he couldn't get what I had asked for I wasn't too disappointed, however he put a massive smile on my face when he told me he <em>did</em> get everything that I had asked for!!! He is well and truly in the good <em>bf</em> books!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have been using these products for a nearly a week and let me tell you that they are worth the hype. Where should I begin... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Bioderma</strong> Crealine H2O, 500ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is a a very gentle make-up remover that looks just like water. I have oily/combination skin but he picked up the one for dry skin but it does what it says on the bottle (in French) and my skin feels really refreshed afterwards. With alot of make-up removers I have used in the past, they have really irritated my skin, especially around my eyes, it sometimes get a burning sensation which is abit alarming. But this is just like wiping water across your face, so gentle. There are very few ingredients and it basically smells of nothing which is a good sign. I use about three cotton wool pads and with the last one there is no or very little make-up remaining on my face, and the I just carry on with my regular routine. It is quite pricey but I know you can get this online for alot less then what I got it for. I have been using this for almost a week and have used a tiny amount so I know I am going to get my money's worth. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Nuxe Reve de Miel Baume Levres</strong> - Lip Balm, 15g</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'Wow' is what I said the morning after my first use. This is a nourishing and repairing lip balm and has a real sweet citrus smell which is the ingredients of grapefruit, hone and shea butter. I apply this matte balm on my lips at *night so it can really get to work and it is still on my lips in the morning. My lips feel <em>a-maz-ing</em> all that dry flaky skin has vanished. I have never had this experience before, I really suffer with dry skin on my lips and every though the conventional lip balms hydrate my lips I have never seen them is such good condition. I feel Nuxe Baume Levres and I are going to become very close companions this coming winter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Caudalie</strong> Beauty Elixir, 100ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This has really blown up in the blogging world and now I am about to put my 2p's worth into the pot. I wasn't even going to try it because the reviews that I read were really mixed and had heard there was a cheaper alternative on the high street. I really like this product, it smells so fresh and natural and the fact that one of the ingredients is organic balm mint makes it feel like it is doing something because it tingles when sprayed onto the face. I have just used it instead of a toner, so I spray it on just before I apply my moisturiser. I know alot of people aren't into toners but I feel they really help with the application of a serum and moisturiser. This helps to tighten pores which is a real aid to my overactive patches of skin. You can get a smaller size bottle if you would like to try this out and again you can purchase this online. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">*<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">I use this product at night you can also use this throughout the day. </span></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Are you using or will you try any of these products?</span></em></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hi Guys, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You probably already know about the fact the Boots have have repackaged their Botanics range and have currently got a 1/3 off promotion across the range. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Botanics-97-Organic-Hot-Cloth-Cleansing-Balm-70ml_1262019/" target="_blank">The Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm</a> caught my eye as I had already read a review on another blog, but that was before the ingredients had changed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Let me tell you that I think that it is absolutely glorious... I have combination skin where some parts of my skin are oily, normal and dry (I know high maintenance, right). I am usually use foam cleansers which seems to balance all these things out, so I was a little worried that this may be a little rich upon opening the pot, but I need not of bothered. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>This organic deep-cleaning balm contains a luxurious blend of Shea Butter, Rosehip and Jojoba Oil to leave skin smooth and beautifully clean. The ultra-rich softening formula swiftly lifts make-up, while the gentle polishing action... helps dislodge pore clogging debris, revealing your beautiful radiant complexion.</em> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I use this in the evening and apply after I have removed my make-up with a gentle remover, I message the wax like balm onto my face, soaked the muslin (supplied) in hot water, placed it onto my face and applied a little pressure, I then use the muslin with circular motions to remove the rest of the balm, then splashed some cold water over my face to help close my pores. I really like the way my skin feels and afterwards even in the morning I haven't got those shiny patch's it seems to really settle my skin. It smells delicious, you can really smell the rosehip and the other essential oils that are included within the formula. This is going to last me a long time because a little really does go a long way and at it current promotional price that's a bargain. I you are looking for some thing a little special at a reasonable price <em>hotfoot</em> it down to your local Boots or online before this promotion ends. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This product is suitable for all skin types, my skin type is combination and this is my own opinion on how this work for me and my skin. </span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">What do you use to cleanse you skin? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hi Guy's,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have to share the fact that I have fallen in love with... a bag!! This is not just any bag, this is the </span><a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/uk/en/zara-S2012-s/244410/873043/PLAITED%2BSHOPPER" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Plaited Shopper</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> from <em>Zara</em>. This bag first caught my eye a couple of weeks ago but the person was walking past me so I didn't get the full affect of this bag, but while at work a customer walked past me with this bag and thats when it happened. I had to go up to her (followed her around the shop... ok stalked her) and ask "Where did you get your bag from ?" She actually told me she had to do the same to someone else in order to find out. Imagine the things I can put in this bag (daydream). Anyway when I got home I finally found the shopper online thinking if it's <em>£40.00</em> I will buy it there and then but, it's <em>£79.99 </em>and I know that I cant justify this purchase when I know there are other things we need. So I have decided to raise some funds by selling things around the house that I no longer have any use for, like my moses basket (sad face). I am going to create an account when I do I will link it so you guys can have a look. I really want this bag!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In the mean time if you know of a cheaper alternative let me know!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hi Guys, </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">First I would like to say a big THANK YOU for coming over to look at my blog! I get so excited when I see how many of you have had a look and I have had views from all over the world so I know that they haven't all been just me (tehe).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What have I been up to so far this week? Well...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1. I worked my notice of my job and I am now enjoying a week off, so I am currently 'inbetween jobs' as I start my new one on Sunday. That job has to be the shortest on record I lasted 8 weeks, which I am not very proud of cause I usually stick at things no matter what but, I just could shake the feeling that things were not right. So I got out quick! I am trying to look at everything positively and believe that I learned a massive lesson about that short lived experience and that's I would have realised my worth and that I can do great things. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2. I bought some goodies... well actually I traded in some of my tatty old silver jewellery for a second-hand ring which I saw on </span><a href="http://cherryhealey.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Cherry Healey</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> while watching her programme <em><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01kxtkp/Cherry_Healey_How_to_Get_a_Life_Work_and_Play/" target="_blank">How to Get a Life</a></em> (I know <em>copycat</em>). I also got a silver stags head broach that I have had my eye on since January, I love it and will pinit to my beloved fur coat I got as a Xmas present a few years ago from River Island. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3. I had some money left over from my sale and popped into </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/?cm_mmc=bmm-_-google-_-Boots+Main+Account-_-Boots+-+Brand+Keywords" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Boots</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and picked up a Collections 2000 eye liner in black because I had seen </span><a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&langId=-1&viewAllFlag=false&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=277017&parent_categoryId=208495&beginIndex=1&pageSize=20&interstitial=true&intcmpid=W_SUPERCAT_MAKEUP_UK_WK45_PUNKREBEL" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">this</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and wanted to try a recreate the look with shades that suited my skin tone. I will let you know how I get on with this as I think that its gonna be fun. Also I picked up a pot of </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Botanics-97-Organic-Hot-Cloth-Cleansing-Balm-70ml_1262019/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Botanics Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> I saw this on </span><a href="http://www.lipssofacto.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Megs blog</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> but I will post my own review and let you know what I think of the balm after using it a couple of times, my views are positive at the moment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">4. Finally the <em>bf</em> has jetted off to France for a few days so as punishment I have given him a list of things to bring back with him so I will let you know if he comes good. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am learning so much from my short time of blogging and reading up loads trying to improve the look and hope to learn more. I hope you guys have had a good week to!! Let me know what you have been up to.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hi everyone... Welcome to Five10Eleven this is my very first post, so here goes...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I love abit of Boots me, on one of my lunch time visits I was looking for a beauty treat (and wanting to use my £5 off No.7 Voucher). I stumbled across their </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/EndecaSearchListerView?storeId=10052&searchTerm=10097981.P&ta=1&typeAhead=true&langId=-1&catalogId=11051#container" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Luxurious Foaming Shower Oil </span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> . I have really sensitive skin (which I choose to ignore), but the ingredients list and the fact that it is <em>hypo allergenic</em> had me interested. The shower oil contains Argan and Grapeseed oil and is also packed with Omega 6 and 9, the fragrance is to <em>die for</em> and is like a spa experience in your own bathroom. I used it with a cloth and the product foamed a little when applied to my wet skin while in the shower. I was expecting more foam/lather but, because of the oil content I suppose a little will do. The nice thing was after I dried my body there wasn't that tight feeling I get after I have used a shower gel. It claims to <em>leave your body hydrated all day long,</em> I still moisturised (but that's because moisturising is my religion), I can see how those with less dry skin could 'shower and go' after using this product. I do think the price tag of </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/EndecaSearchListerView?storeId=10052&searchTerm=10097981.P&ta=1&typeAhead=true&langId=-1&catalogId=11051#container" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">£9</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> is abit pricey but if you are using their £5 off No.7 Voucher its well worth the treat. Boot £5 off No. 7 Vouchers expire 15/07/12. This is a product I liked and would defo recommend, plus my son told me I spelt like flowers when I got out of the bath which is always a bonus!!</span></div>
