<span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;">Hi Everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today I have a short but sweet post for you. Craig and I have just finished decorating our dressing room and today I wanted you show you the finished result. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;">
It has always been my dream as a little girl to have my own walk-in-wardrobe/ dressing room and buying this house has allowed for that dream to come true. I knew that I wanted open plan wardrobes so you could see all of our clothes, which gives the room a boutique feel. So, we opted for the Ikea pax wardrobes as you can customise the compartments and size of the wardrobes. Naturally I gave myself more space over craig but I am so pleased with how it turned out. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;">We were lucky that the wardrobes we're delivered a few days after we completed, back in December and Craig and his dad worked extremely hard building these. I am proud to say that I did assist and was able to build one drawer by myself in the end. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;">
Having the clothes all on show means that I have to keep my wardrobe organised at all times which is easy for me but not so much for Craig, however I am happy to take control of the dressing room and keep everything in it's place. The first time I unpacked our clothes and put everything away was so therapeutic and I am quite particular where everything goes once we hang the clothes back up afte a wash load. It’s the little things in the life that make me happy...</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;">
Once again, as the wardrobe is an open plan I knew I wanted to purchase some athletically pleasing hangers so I chose a nude and gold colour for myself and black for Craig. Overall I am thrilled with the finished result of the wardrobes and I’m overjoyed that we decided on the pax system. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;">I knew that since the wardrobes were white I wanted to have a matching dressing </span></span>table area at the other side of the room therefore I chose to stick with products from Ikea. Being a lover of beauty products it was important to me that I had plenty of drawer and table top space for my makeup. Along with having the open plan wardrobe I knew that I would have loved to get a Hollywood mirror, although when looking</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small;">online we saw that they were extortionately priced. Whilst shopping in Ikea we saw</span></span><span style="clear: right; display: inline; font-family: "courier"; font-size: x-small; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">a show room with a DIY Hollywood mirror and it looked absolutely perfect, and at a fraction of the price.</span><span style="clear: right; display: inline; font-family: "courier"; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;">ALong with my makeup mirror I chose to have a full length mirror to use when picking an outfit, which we have placed next to the dressing table. This huge mirror was from Ikea and is the perfect finishing touch to the room.</span><span style="clear: right; display: inline; font-family: "courier"; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;">The next step was styling the dressing table. I wanted to tie in colours such as gold, nude and black and keep the desk looking clear and simple. I chose to display a few items of makeup on top along with a bit of greenery to brighten things up a little. Finally, I purchased a couple prints from desenio and then the room was complete. </span><span style="text-align: center;">I cannot express how happy I am to have my dream dressing room. It's the perfect space to get ready in and I'm so grateful that we were able to create the room I have always wanted. </span></span><br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mB_cOxpWZ9g/Xp7C6Q0AVHI/AAAAAAAAB0M/Ldni08KFwHQ09_PFy_neFHmAgHsbpTeswCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/2ABCF052-8B3F-4287-A4D4-A75025DFFE67.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1501" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mB_cOxpWZ9g/Xp7C6Q0AVHI/AAAAAAAAB0M/Ldni08KFwHQ09_PFy_neFHmAgHsbpTeswCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/2ABCF052-8B3F-4287-A4D4-A75025DFFE67.jpeg" width="300" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: small;">Ensuring that you get the right amount of beauty sleep is vital as your body repairs itself during those eight hours, allowing your skin to look it's best. Elemis has created a skincare range specifically for your circadian cycle which works whilst you sleep to reveal a brighter and smoother complextion, giving you the look of well rested skin. I have tried all the products from this range however one stood out to me inparticular, and that's the Thousand Flower Mask, so today I am going to be reviewing this product for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The Elemis Peptide Thousand Flower Mask is available at <a href="http://simpsonsbeautygroup.com/">simpsonsbeautygroup.com</a> and retails for £37. The mask comes in a tube which means it's easily dispenced and more hygienic as you're not dipping into a jar. I love the smooth purple gradiant packaging, it's sleek, modern yet practical. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: small;">The mask's texture is unlike anything I've ever felt before. It contains brazillian black clay which allows for a velvety and mousse- like consistency. However, like traditional clay masks, this product does not dry out the skin. The clay works to purify and smooth the texture of the skin, whilst helping to reduce any excess oil. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The key ingredients in this mask is what makes it unique. The peptide blend is designed to synchronize with your internal clock, releasing the essential ingredients to repair your skin. Lack of sleep disrupts skin's natural recovery process, leading to a dull, dehydrated complexion.This mask helps to restore essential moisture and antioxidants needed for a healthy-looking skin.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: small;">It contains nordic peat, developed over thousands of years, which is rich in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants to improve skin radiance and revitalise dull, lackluster skin. <i>One fact to be aware of is that the nordic peat can stain, so always use a dark wash cloth to remove. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: small;">Admittedly, you do look a little like you've been cleaning chimney's with this black coloured mask on, but those 15 minutes are worth it for the results that you get. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: small;">After removing the mask, you will instantly feel a nice cooling sensation which leaves the skin feeling fresh and clean. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: small;"><br />
I find this mask to be one of the most luxurious mask's I have ever tried. The floral fragrance is so calming and the skin appears brighter after just one use. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: small;">This product is a beautiful skin treat and combined with the rest of the peptide range. it's an unbeatable skincare routine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">With love, </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">What are the benefits of getting a professional facial from a skincare expert?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If you're seeking clearer and healthier skin, recieving a facial and getting expert advice can make a dramatic difference to your skin. Here are my reasons why:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">1. Skin Consultation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">When browsing online or in a department store it can be difficult to know what products suit your skin needs, especially if you're unsure of what your skintype is. That is why I believe one of the most valuable components of a facial is the skin consultation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Before your treatment begins your therapist will discuss with you your lifestyle, current routine and any skin concerns that you may have. Once they have cleansed the skin they are able to asses your skin type through looking at the apperance of the skin and feeling it's texture. This will help with the selection of products to allow them to create a personalised treatment that caters to your skins needs. They are also able to create a customised homecare routine to help you achieve the best results.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">2. Prevention</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If you're already happy with your skin, why get a facial?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The honest truth is that getting regular facial's can help to prevent future skin concerns that may appear- from the first signs of aging, dehydration and breakouts. Recieving a monthly facial can help you to maintain healthy skin, as it's always better to prevent rather than have to fix.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">3. Exfoliation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Your skin needs to get rid of the waste that it accumulates on a regular basis, but when this is not done correctly it can lead to breakouts. That's why a skin detox is necessary. Exfoliation is a crucual part of the facial as it removes the top layer of dead skin cells which allows for a deeper penetration of the moisturising products. Exfoliation increases your skin's ability to absorb oils, serums and moisturiser effictively and leaves your skin feeling smooth and soft.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">4. Increase Circulation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">There is no doubt that when blood circulation slows, the skin's health is impaired. Aging leads to slow circulation which inevitably results in dull, tired looking skin. One important benefit of a facial is massage to the face. This process helps to increase blood flow bringing nutrients to the skin and it will encourage a youthful radiance and glow to the surface of the skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">5. Relaxation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Aside from the various skin benefits facials offer, they are also extremly relaxing and provide an immediate stress release. Facials can include neck and shoulder, head and hand massages which allow you to feel ultimately pampered. The room has dim lighting, soft music and a warm bed, creating the ideal environment to completely unwind. An hour of relaxation is definetly something we all need after this stressful time and facial's have always been my go-to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I hope you enjoyed this post about the benefit's of a professional facial. Performing facials as a Beauty Therapist is a pleasure, and that's why it's one of my favourite treatments to do. I love seeing the results that can be seen after just one treatment and working along side my client to create a bespoke skincare routine with our Elemis products. If you would like to try one of our Facial's or you think that you're in need of a pamper yourself, visit our webite www.simpsonsbeauty.com and get booked in ready for when we reopen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">With love,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Whilst in Paris we made a trip to Sephora to browse their selection of products and whilst at the Charlotte Tilbury counter I spotted the Hollywood Flawless Filter. I have quite the collection of Charlotte Tilbury products already and knowing that everything I have previously tried from her range I have loved, I thought I would pick this product up to give it a go. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jZH_1dIs8so/Xkz2GriLUfI/AAAAAAAAByY/YofKvR7I0EEGagqtKuohsXh_jTuu7fb0QCEwYBhgL/s1600/64AC14B6-4BA3-4892-B10A-651D1BF940CA.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1235" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jZH_1dIs8so/Xkz2GriLUfI/AAAAAAAAByY/YofKvR7I0EEGagqtKuohsXh_jTuu7fb0QCEwYBhgL/s320/64AC14B6-4BA3-4892-B10A-651D1BF940CA.jpeg" width="246" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Upon purchase I assumed that this product would be a light coverage foundation however it doesn’t necessarily fit into that foundation category, according to it’s description. It is described as a complexion enhancing illuminating primer and in all honesty it does exactly that but with added coverage, which is why I have been using it as my foundation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For my normal to dry skin type this product is perfect for winter when I want a healthy dewy look that isn’t too heavy, like fuller coverage foundations can be. It makes the skin feel plumped, radiant and evens out any imperfections, whilst still looking natural. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">In terms of the finish, it feels juicy and hydrating but without being greasy. I do feel this product is best suited to someone with a dry skin as the glossy look might be too much for an oily complexion. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I went for shade one however as it is not advertised as a foundation the shade range isn’t very precise. As it’s technically a primer it doesn’t need a whole lot of blending into the hair line however because of the coverage it does need somewhat blending to prevent leaving marks or streaks behind. I used this product with a beauty blender and follow up with a concealer for further coverage under the eyes and on any blemishes. Charlotte Tilbury herself recommends using this product over foundation on the high points of the face to highlight which would be great for an oiler skin as you can mattify the oily areas and highlight where needed. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">All in all, this product to me is like glow in a bottle. It’s not full coverage, your skin still looks natural but slightly perfected. So for ladies who like a matte finish this product is not for you, but my glowy girls will love this! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi Everyone,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Craig and I have just got back from a weekend away in Paris, for Valentine’s Day. Not only was this trip to have some time off for Valentines but it was to treat ourselves and celebrate buying our first house together. This was a well needed break to have some quality time together after the stress of moving in, which happened over Christmas. We had four days seeing the sights of Paris and I made sure to take pictures of my outfits throughout our trip, so if you would like to see what I wore in the fashion capital that is Paris, keep on reading.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Day 1- </span></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We travelled for the majority of our first day and arrived in Paris just after lunch. We walked a fair way from the train station to our hotel but it was fantastic to get a real taste of the city on our walk. Once we arrived at our hotel, Hotel Eiffle Turenne, we dropped off our bags and went off to explore. A few hours later we came back to get changed and decided to view the Eiffle Tower on the hour as it sparkled. Luckily our hotel was only a ten minute walk to the eiffle tower so we were able to see it light up most nights. Then, after some food we went back to the hotel to rest ready for a busy day tomorrow.</span><br />

We were up bright and early, had a quick breakfast at the hotel and caught the Disney shuttle bus to the park. We had tickets to both parks and spent the entire day exploring all that there is to offer. We went to the studios first, stopped for lunch and then went over to the main park. We luckily didn’t have to queue for too long on the rides and managed to go on all of the ones we were interested in. We saw the parade at lunch time which was so magical and loved the illuminations show in the evening, singing along to all the Disney classics. We arrived back at the hotel just after 9pm and chilled for the rest of the evening. </span></div>

In the morning we had breakfast at Angelina’s which is famous for their delicious Hot Chocolates. Once we were full on eggs, fruit and pastries we did a spot of shopping, stopped for some pizza and then headed to the Eiffle Tower. It was very busy queuing for the Eiffle Tower however eventually we managed to reach the top and the views were breathtaking! We then walked behind the Eiffle Tower and got onto our Seine river cruise to finish off the evening. </span></div>

We steadily packed up our bags and had breakfast down in the hotel. Before check out we went for one final walk and got a few supplies from the supermarket for our travels home. We then walked across Paris with our suitcases to the train station, soaking up the views one final time. We made sure to make one final pit stop at Laduree to get some macaroons for pudding! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We had the best weekend in Paris and would happily visit again! The whole atmosphere in the city is indescribable and it’s a trip we will never forget. I do wish that we had more time as there is so much to see in such a short space of time. If you are yet to visit Paris I would certainly recommend it and we would love to visit again one year during the summer. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi Everyone! Welcome back to my blog.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">First of all, I want to apologise for the lack of content recently however I can assure you that I have a good excuse...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I am so overjoyed to announce that my boyfriend and I have finally bought our first home together, and we could not be happier!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This whole process started last September when we began looking seriously online for houses. We knew the area we wanted to purchase in and after completing a mortgage offer form online we had a rough idea of our budget. Things got serious when we found a house that we truly loved! We hadn’t planned on looking round any homes or even considering starting the process until the new year however when we saw this house come up on the market we knew that it was a sign, so we booked a viewing. </span></span><br />

I had a few pointers such as the fact I wanted a three bedroom with a good size garden and preferably a downstairs toilet (which is something older houses don’t typically have) and when this particular house came up ticking all of those boxes and more, we decided to place an offer.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">There had been a lot of interest in the house already and it had only been up for a few days once we found it, so for that reason we acted quickly as we really didn’t want to lose this opportunity. To our delight, the offer was accepted and we then went on to find a mortgage advisor and solicitors. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The entire process of purchasing a house is long, slow and stressful especially when doing so around Christmas time. We completed the purchase on December 19th and were able to move in before Christmas 2019! I worked extra hours over Christmas as it's a very busy time in the salon however Craig was able to take time off to build furniture and decorate the house. He did an incredible job along with our family at getting the house ready for us to move in! For us, buying a home together is an amazing achievement and we are so lucky and grateful to be in a position to do this at such a young age. We are finally feeling settled in the house and slowly but surely we will get everyone decorated exactly how we want it to look. All of our family have now visited the house and we are very much looking forward to the future and all the memories we will make in our home. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hey everyone, I'm back today with a first impressions post for you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I recently popped into Boots to have a sneaky look at their Christmas gifts and stumbled across the Face Halo. I'd never seen them in store before and had only heard about them through Chloe promoting her product on her Instagram.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This 'game-changing', echo friendly sponge is said to remove all your makeup by simply adding water and when hearing this my first thought was "How can a fluffy pad remove all makeup including stubborn mascara, with only water?". I wondered whether it was all a gimmick and something that had just been hyped about, so for that reason i had to give it a try.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So, how does it work? Adding water to the pad helps loosen your makeup allowing the 'halotech fibre strands' to reach deep into your pores and remove and trap makeup. This sponge is designed to be used gently on the skin meaning there is no need to rub or scrub however for heavier eye makeup you can hold the pad over the eyes for 10 seconds to break down the product. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I paid £7 for one pad which I thought wasn't too bad since they claim you can get two hundred uses out of one product. They recommend that after every use you hand wash with soap and water and when cleaning your Face Halo in the washing machine you add it in with similar colours.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After a long day of working with a full face of makeup on, i arrived home and decided it was time to test out my Face Halo. After a few swipes I was pleasantly surprised! For some strange reason i was expecting the product not to work however it certainly removed my makeup and did it gently without irritating the skin. The pad soon went from a bright white to a shade of brown so i turned the pad over and used the clean side to test if there was any makeup left on my skin. The Face Halo did an extremely good job at removing makeup and works well as a quick fix in the evening, but according to the Face Halo there is no need to cleanse afterwards. As a beauty therapist i understand the importance of thoroughly cleansing the skin so i made sure to follow up with my facial wash afterwards. I feel that this product is a great alternative to the dreaded makeup wipes that millions of women still use but I would never use the Face Halo as my only cleanse. I think Chloe has created something quite revolutionary and i feel this product should be spoken about more. For those who find makeup wipes 'easier' than cleansing with a product and wash cloth, the Face Halo is a much better alternative. It's chemical free so wont dry the skin out as makeup wipes do and it would stop us throwing away billions of wipes a year (which take 100 years to decompose). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My final thoughts?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I enjoyed using this product and will continue to use it as my first cleanse as it works wonders removing makeup. I think the Face Halo is ideal for travel or after a night out and I would absolutely recommend that if you haven't tried it that you give it a go. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The Elemis Superfood Facial Oil has been raved about for the longest time and since recently discovering Elemis products and doing some research I knew from my findings that this product in particular was one that I had to try. But the question is, is it truly worth the hype?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Facial oils are a must-have in my skincare routine especially this time of year as my skin can begin to feel much drier. The ingredients in this particular oil seemed impressive which was one of the reasons I was so eager to try it. It contains ingredients like flaxseed and broccoli which are known to seal in moisture within the skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The one thing that stood out to me after first use was how glowy it made my skin feel after application and this has continued since using it. I prefer to use the oil during the evening however it can be used morning too. It applies smoothly, smells gorgeous and sinks into the skin quickly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If you're not using a facial oil in your routine and you're wondering whether to try one, now would be the time to do so with this oil. I always find that this time of year as it approaches Christmas my diet starts to plummet and that can take it's toll on my skin however this product is going to be my skin saviour. This product has 9 essential oils within it and it's packed with natural plant ingredients such as broccoli, cucumber oil, raddish, flax seed and macadamia oil therefore this oil gives my skin the luminosity and healthy dewy look that it needs. I have seen a huge improvement in the texture and appearance of my skin since using this product and can't wait to continue using and loving it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Is this oil suitable for you?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If your skin is feeling dull, lifeless, lacking nourishment and hydration you MUST try this product! You may be seeing the first signs of aging and your skin is lacking nutrients however with this oil your skin will be intoxicated with key omega and fatty acids to condition the skin. For those of you with oily skin do not feel that you need to shy away from this oil because of its hydrating properties as it can actually help to balance the oils in your skin so it's definitely worth a try. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">All in all, I am loving this oil and would 100% recommend it to YOU. I am now jumping on the hype of the Elemis Superfood Oil and cannot wait to try more products from this range. Are there any products in particular that you think I should try and review? Let me know in the comments below. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi Everyone,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Can you believe that it's almost October? I feel like I say this at the end of every month but this year has truly flown by. However, it is now officially my favourite time of year...Autumn! I love everything about this time of year including the fashion, food, cosy evenings, movies, bonfire night and of course Christmas!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For today's post I thought I would share with you all a few of the outfits I have been loving for this season. There is a mix of outfits depending on the weather of the day, as we all know how varied it can be in this country. At the moment the weather is all over the place, one day its sunny and warm and the next it's cloudy and rainy so I attempted to cater for the both in this lookbook. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If you enjoy reading this type of post please let me know as I'm more that happy to continue and create more content like this. But without futher a do, if you would like to see my current favourite autumnal outfits then carry on reading...</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I have always heard great things about Decleor products but up until a few months ago I had never tried any of their products. For my first Decleor product I decided to try the Cica-Botanic Balm as I was intrigued by It's claims and benefits. </span><br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I have been using this product for a month, post cleanse and tone. This is a multi purpose product that you can not only use of the face but the body too. This balm can be used on dry skin almost anywhere. Including but not limited to face, lips, cuticles, dry heels, elbows and more. </span></div>

When I wake up in the morning my skin feels soft and fully hydrated. A product like this, in my opinion is one that you have to stick with as It's definitely grown on me after seeing the improvement in the condition of my skin. Due to the ingredients in the balm it does have a strong scent and one that can be either loved or hated by the consumer. I personally enjoy the scent and find it very therapeutic and relaxing. When I apply the product I genuinely feel like I am having a spa treatment and to me it feels like a treat. </span></span><br />

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; display: inline !important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; zoom: 1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I believe that all skin types could use this product but it's especially ideal for those with sensitive skin who suffer with eczema or psoriasis. Testing new products when you have sensitive skin can be difficult as It's important to look for key ingredients designed for delicate complexions. This balm is nourishing and specifically designed for drier skin to soothe and hydrate. Due to it's lightweight texture I believe most skin types would suit this balm, perhaps more so on winter evenings. For those with post inflammatory pigmentation from acne it's fantastic at soothing redness, irritation and for healing the skin. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Overall, I am thoroughly enjoying using this product and can feel an improvement in the texture and appearance of my skin.

<span style="color: black; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Since my last blog post I have turned a whole year older! I have said goodbye to my teenage years which is a very strange feeling. It seems like I should now be better at adulting without ‘teen’ at the end of my age but I’m hoping I will magically wake on an up-and-coming date feeling like a whole new woman that’s ready to take on the world! </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Today I’m going to be sharing with you what I did to celebrate my 20th birthday! I had a really lovely day and I thought I would write a blog post about it. I’ll be honest in saying that I was unprepared for my birthday this year as it came around so quickly and knowing that I didn’t have a huge party planned and that I hadn't asked for any gifts I wasn't counting down the days to August 8th. As my boyfriend and I are saving for a house we decided not to do gifts this year so instead we had a low budget birthday celebration. With that being said, it was a wonderful day with beautiful weather and great company. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">In the morning we woke up and opened up all my cards in bed. After chilling for a bit we got up, showered and I did my hair and makeup. We then started the day the right way by having a delicious cooked breakfast. </span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After breakfast we headed to the lakes on our bikes. We cycled for over an hour exploring the lakes and beautiful surroundings. We came across ducks, geese and swans and decided to feed them some of our picnic which was very entertaining. We sat down for a picnic and I had my little birthday cupcake. The weather was luckily stunning as the rest of the weeks forecast was rain! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After a wonderful bike ride around the lakes we took our bikes home and headed into town for a walk to grab an ice cream. We walked up the hill to a gelato shop and I treated myself to a tub of mint choc chip. </span></div>

We ordered a Garlic bread, Spaghetti Bolognese and Rustica Pizza. After a lovely meal we headed home and watched movies and ate plenty of birthday chocolate. Overall, it was a relaxing and chilled birthday! </span><br />

<br />
After a week full of joy at the Oceanis Resort in Kos we are back to the UK, feeling relaxed and truthfully looking forward to the next trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday on the tiny island with so much character, that is Kos. Our hotel resort was breathtaking with huge grounds and a private beach area. Everything was perfection including the food, rooms, views and entertainment. For me the excitement of preparing to go on holiday starts with the outfit planning and I always look forward to taking photos of everything we get up to whilst away. So, of course I had to do another look book this year. If you would like to see what I wore whilst in Kos, Greece then please carry on reading...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
DAY 1 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During our first day in Kos we took a walk around the hotel grounds, which is a mighty plot of land might I add. Our hotel had 2 pools, four restaurants, a private beach area, mini golf course, tennis courts, 3 bars and huge areas of greenery which made for quite the walk. After finding our bearings we got into our swimwear and headed for the main pool. As we arrived there was water aerobics in the pool which really made for a great start to the holiday. It was such a laugh and so much fun! After lunch and a chill out session by the pool we went back up to the room to get ready for the evening. On our first evening we went to explore the best spots to take pictures, had dinner, drinks and enjoyed the night time entertainment. And this marked the first night of a fantastic holiday....</div>

DAY 2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On day two we took a trip into Kos Town Centre. Our hotel was approximately a 10 minute drive away from the town square. The town square was a busy place with quaint streets, quirky buildings and plenty of restaurants. We soon realised that this area of the world has crazy moped drivers that come out of nowhere and certainly won’t stop for anyone...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hoped back on the bus and to the hotel for a spot of lunch and ended the afternoon with a swim,<br />
water polo and sun tanning. Tonight was the Gala Dinner at our hotel with the dress code of black and<br />
white. All of the guests and staff were dressed to impress and it was an elegant evening with good<br />
food and music.</div>

DAY 3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On our third day we got a boat over to Bodrum, Turkey. Kos is next door to Bodrum and only takes 40 minute to drive over. We spent the full day in Turkey exploring the town and it’s narrow streets, traditional houses and markets with salesmen wanting to bargain with you. The day was a great chance to enter the east with it's distinct smell of spices and to experience it’s culture first hand. In the evening we had a glorious meal and chilled by the bar until it was time for bed.<br />

DAY 4</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a busy few days exploring Kos and Turkey we decided to have a completely chilled day on Saturday by the pool and the beach. We woke up and had a beautiful breakfast in the sunshine, relaxed on the beds by the pool, joined water aerobics, had a swim and did all that you’re supposed to do on a summer holiday. During the evening we had our meal and chatted by the bar until it was dark. </div>

DAY FIVE<br />
On Sunday (our final full day) we spent the morning sunbathing by the pool and making the most out of the beautiful weather. During the afternoon there were free hand and arm massages which as a Beauty Therapist I can really appreciate. After lunch we visited the hotel Spa and spent an hour in the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and laying on the loungers. On our final evening we took a walk around the hotel grounds, played a few games of pool and watched the evening entertainment.<br />
The following day we got up, packed up our belongings and left for the airport in the evening after dinner. We spent the majority of this day soaking up the sun and reminiscing on what had been a fabulous holiday and one we will never forget. </div>

Thank you for reading my Kos Style Diary and I hope this post gave you some holiday outfit inspiration. If you're thinking about visiting Kos for your next holiday I would 100% recommend it. Our hotel the 'Oceanis Beach and Spa Resort' is also a gem of a hotel and one of the best in Kos, in my opinion.<br />
Also, be sure to follow my Instagram as that is where I posted other pictures from the holiday on my story: @Jodielbeauty<br />
<br />
If you have any requests for future blog posts please do let me know in the comments below.<br />

Have a great weekend!<br />

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tonight we attended the Gala Dinner at our hotel and I thought I would do a get ready with me, showing you my current go-to makeup routine. During summer I like to have the ‘less is more’ approach with very little on the eyes and a glossy lip. I mix up the products that I use all the time but these are the products I am loving the most at the moment.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Foundation: L’Oréal True Match Foundation in shade 8 Cappuccino Dore & Makeup Forever Ultra HD Stick Foundation Y215</div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi Everyone, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So today's post isn't going to be particularly long however I wanted to share some very exciting news with you! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">You may or may not know that I have been working at my current Beauty and Laser Clinic for a year now and have learnt so much in my time with them. It has helped to grow my confidence as a therapist and enabled me to see what areas of the industry I enjoy the most. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I can happily announce that I have started my new job as a full time beauty therapist at Simpsons Beauty Group. My new position at Simpsons is allowing me to focus on Elemis Facials and advance my training in skincare which is something I am extremely passionate about. I love performing relaxing aroma therapy treatments and am so excited to be working in the Simpsons salon surrounded by a team of girls who share the same passion as me. They are a reputable company that perform high quality treatments and I am so excited to learn from the best in the business. They have the most beautiful and calming treatment rooms and I can truly say that I am thoroughly enjoying working for Simpson’s and providing the best service to my clients, in a bliss atmosphere with luxury products. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Perhaps you are lookin</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">g to train in the beauty industry or have just finished college and are ready to apply for your first job? Although I have only been in the beauty industry for 4 years, perhaps you would like to see a post explaining my journey, interview process and time working as a Beauty Therapist.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi Everyone, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After a long week at work, every once in a while I like to use my Sunday off to have a bit of a pamper day. I love to unwind, relax and have a bit of 'me' time. If you haven't had a bit of 'me' time recently, I would definitely recommend giving it a go. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To kick off my day of pampering I like to indulge in a delicious breakfast. Whether this be in bed or at the kitchen table, I love to enjoy a homemade waffle, pancakes, muffins, sausages or some fruit. Once I'm feeling well nourished and full I will head into the bathroom and light some scented candles to set the mood and play some of my favourite music. Whilst soaking in the bath I will take the time to perform my full pamper routine of exfoliation, shaving, hair mask, face mask and finish with a body oil or moisturiser. I have always loved the Soap & Glory bath range, especially the Sugar Crush Body Scrub and Body Wash so I will normally use these products during my pamper day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After my bath I will head into my beauty room to blow dry and straighten my hair and then I will begin my skincare routine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>If you would like to see an updated skincare routine, let me know in the comments below.</i> I have a few stand out/favourite products at the moment that I wanted to share with you, one of those being the Pixi Glow Tonic. This product helps to tone, firm and tighten the skin whilst also removing dead skin cells for healthier looking skin. I am a huge fan of the Ordinary products and I adore their Vitamin C which is a gentle serum that targets uneven skin tone, exfoliates the skin and helps to brighten. I am also really enjoying using the Dr Jart Ceramidin range which are encapsulated with ceramides to keep skin well hydrated for long periods of time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The next step of my routine is to put on some comfy clothing which will either be pyjamas or leggings and a slouchy top. Once I'm feeling cosy and snuggled the next step is to give my nails a good seeing too. I do have a post on my 'At Home Manicure Routine' if you would like more detail on exactly what I do to maintain my nails. Essentially I will file and smooth the nail, cuticle work, apply a gel polish and finish with hand cream. I like to have matching hands and toes, and if I'm feeling fancy I may even delve into some nail art. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Once I'm all pampered out I will usually get into bed and watch some Netflix or YouTube, with my boyfriend. I take movie snacks very seriously, so for me this is the best time of the day. I will gather as many sweet treats as I can and enjoy my time relaxing at home. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">That concludes my Pamper Routine, I would love to know what you do on your Pamper days at home. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Thank you for reading everyone and happy pampering!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">With Love,</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I recently went on a crazy skincare shopping spree and treated myself to some new products. I have been using these items for a few days now and I'm very much looking forward to performing my morning and evening routine, trying everything out and seeing what works well together. Today I thought that I would share with you the items that I bought, in case you were interested in trying any of them too. If you would like to hear my thoughts or see a review on any of these skincare products, please let me know. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi all, </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Long time no blog. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My life has been pretty hectic recently which has left my blog
neglected. With that being said, I have really missed blogging and sharing my
life with you so today I vow to post <span style="color: #d5a6bd;">at least once a month </span>(baby steps right). </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I thought I’d welcome you all back with a bit of a life
update, since a lot has changed in the last few months. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Where do I begin?</span></i></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Lets start with my work. I began working as a full time Beauty Therapist last Summer and it's been incredible. I absolutely love what I
do and find my chosen career very rewarding. This job has completely boosted my
self confidence and I believe that my skills are improving day by day. I’ve trained in many new treatments since starting this job such as; Hopi Ear Candles, Hot Stone Massage, Genie Take 10, Female Waxing and much more. The beauty industry is ever growing and there are always opportunities to grow and learn new treatments, which is another reason I love what I do so much. A part of my role in Clinic as being Assistant Clinic Coordinator allows me to create marketing materials for Social Media, which is a new found love of mine. I very much enjoy the creativity of advertising and have worked hard at creating new treatments and pamper packages for the business.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Just recently I organised a Giving Back Charity Party in support of St Barnabas Lincolnshire. The event was on March 22nd and involved beauty treatments such as Manicures, Facials, Massages and Brow treatments with half the proceeds being donated to the charity. I worked extremely hard creating posters and advertising the event whilst running my busy column in Clinic. I contacted local businesses for raffle prizes and received many kind donations. Overall, the party was a huge success and thanks to all the clients, my friends and family we were able to raise £420 for St Barnabas. This is a great achievement of mine and I am so proud to be supporting such an incredible and deserving charity who I hope to support again in the near future. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The Clinic I work in has been taking votes from clients since September for our ‘Employee of the Year’ award. The ceremony took place in April at Branston Hall. It was a black tie event and we enjoyed a delicious three course meal, sat through an enjoyable presentation by our Manager and I can happily announce that I received the award for ‘Employee of the Year 2019’. I was elated to hear that I had been voted by clients, colleagues and my manager for this award and so pleased to see that all my hard work has paid off. I’ve been working in the industry for a short space of time however I am so excited for the future and to continue this journey learning and improving as a therapist. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Just recently my boyfriend received the news that he got the job for the graduate scheme he applied for and I couldn’t be prouder of him. Soon enough we will be starting our journey into buying our first home together which is something we are both really looking forward to. He is studying International Business at Loughborough University and soon will be sitting his final exams. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We have a holiday booked in July to Greece to celebrate our 2 year Anniversary and his University Graduation. So, you can anticipate that i will have fashion posts coming shortly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I hope you all enjoyed reading this little update and I can truly say that I have missed writing these posts for you all. Let me know in the comments how you’ve been and if you have any blog post requests as I’m hoping to write more frequently! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><u>Improve Circulation</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Keeping the blood flowing promotes lymphatic drainage which helps to remove waste and toxins, leaving your skin glowing. Every evening when I apply my facial oil I take the time to massage my skin to improve circulation. This can also be done by using a facial brush or exfoliating. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;"><u>Exfoliation</u></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;">Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells on the outermost layer of your skin, known as the stratum corneum. It is one of the most important parts of your skincare routine as it not only helps with many skin problems but it can also increase blood circulation and allow you to achieve a healthy and glowing skin. Exfoliating once a week can i</span></span>ncrease cell turnover to improve the health of your skin and even out your skin tone. It also stimulates collagen to give your skin strength and elasticity. It a</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">llows deeper absorption of the following products you use- serums and moisturisers</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> will be able to reach those new cells rather than sitting 'on top' of your skin. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><u>Beauty Sleep</u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">One of the most known skin care tips out there is ensuring you get enough sleep, but it truly matters. While you're sleeping your skin cells repair and renew so it is important<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> that you not only sleep for eight hours a night, but that it is quality sleep. The position you sleep it can also take an effect on your skin. </span><span style="background-color: white;">Sleeping on your stomach can scrunch your face </span></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: white;">and this can then tighten your facial muscles, allow the skin to sag and cut off circulation. </span>It has been said that using a silk pillowcase <span style="color: #222222;">can help </span><span style="color: #222222;">your </span><span style="color: #222222;">skin stay healthy and smoo</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">th and can help reduce </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">the</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> appearance </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">of</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> facial wrinkles.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><u>
Sun Protection</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><u><br /></u></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Especially this time of year, we all enjoy some time in the sun however it is important to do so safely and protect our skin from sun damage. The sunshine always puts everyone in a great mood and for a short amount of time, makes us look good too. However, too much sun exposure can cause premature wrinkles and age spots on our face. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Choosing a high quality sun cream is vital and some are better than others. You need to search for one that protects against both UVA and UVB light, and ensure that it has a five star rating. Certify that you are applying the cream correctly and allow for it to be applied half an hour before sun exposure so that it can be fully absorbed. You also need to reapply sun cream every few hours, especially if you are swimming or sweating (this goes for sun creams that claim to be water resistant too). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">On my previous holiday I took precautions to make certain that my face was kept out of sunlight, where possible. For example, when sat in the sun I would always cover my face with a towel and to protect my head I wore a wide-brimmed hat as I was kept in the shade and it made sure my scalp, ears and nose would not burn. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><u>Minimize makeup</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><u><br /></u></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For many years I loved nothing but to spend hours applying makeup. Over time I have started to wear less makeup and by doing that I have learnt and witnessed the effects that has had on my skin. A lot of makeup products include chemicals that will only clog the pores leading to breakouts. Ensure that you<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> check the labels of makeup products for the word 'comedogenic' which means it has been scientifically tested not to block pores.There are in fact safer alternatives for those who cant bare not to wear makeup.</span></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> I have minimized the amount of makeup I wear or, leave it for special occasions. I know my skin is thanking me for it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><u>Healthy Eating</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><u><br /></u></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">When I think about food and my skin a certain saying comes to mind- 'You are what you eat'. Beautiful and radiant skin truly starts from within, so keeping an eye on your diet could do wonders for your complexion. This includes, getting your 5-a-day, receiving enough Vitamins, drinking plenty of water to hydrate the skin and avoiding the cravings. It's important to remember that a miracle isn't going to happen overnight and it takes time for your skin to resurface. <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">For persistent skin conditions you can visit Body TLC in Lincoln, talk to your GP or consider seeing a dermatologist.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Like millions of other people, I absolutely adore chocolate. Naturally you would think that by cutting out chocolate your skin would improve, right? Wrong. There are plenty of reasons to continue eating chocolate due to the skin benefits that it actually has. Cocoa has both antioxidant (flavanols) and anti-inflammatory properties, this will hydrate your skin and improve circulation. Flavanols help the skin to reflect UV light which in turn reduces the appearance of skin damage and contributes to reducing collagen breakdown. So, you can have the best of both worlds- continuing to indulge on a few squares of chocolate a day and also maintaining that glowing skin. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Well it's back to reality after a blissful week in the sunshine. My boyfriend and I were in desperate need of a break and some relaxation, and that's definitely what we got in Gran Canaria. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We stayed for 7 days, all inclusive at the Hotel Riu Vistamar and it was paradise. We had a stunning view of Amadores beach from our balcony and no matter where you were in the hotel, you could always see the sea. This was both of our first times visiting Gran Canaria, so naturally I did a lot of research before we arrived, but I still wasn't 100% sure of what to expect. However, I do not have a bad word to say about our hotel; the food was outstanding, all three pools were beautiful, the room was clean and modern and each and every staff member was friendly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Amadores was absolutely breathtaking! We took a boat ride to Mogan and walked along the cliff to Puerto Rico and both areas were also gorgeous. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We spent several days just chilling by the pool, making the most of the all inclusive drinks (of course) and working on that summer tan. We also took a boat to Mogan for the Friday market and went on a peddle boat on Amadores beach. We had a tournament at three different mini golf courses throughout the week (I lost unfortunately) and I took part in karaoke in our hotel.Overall, we had a wonderful holiday and would certainly re-visit in the future. If you were thinking of visiting Gran Canaria.....don't hesitate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">With that being said, I figured that for today's post I would share with you a selection of my outfits from this trip. It took a good few shopping trips to put together my outfits and personally I love to see what other people wear on holiday. So without further a-do, here is my style diary for Gran Canaria....</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xbw-kJ6hxNM/WxPBbqGgmiI/AAAAAAAABYQ/J48SEcwg0_oJlKd3UVJI2dPG1dxjbttcwCLcBGAs/s1600/isle%2Bof.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><img border="0" data-original-height="949" data-original-width="1200" height="253" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xbw-kJ6hxNM/WxPBbqGgmiI/AAAAAAAABYQ/J48SEcwg0_oJlKd3UVJI2dPG1dxjbttcwCLcBGAs/s320/isle%2Bof.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #454545;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #454545;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="color: #454545;">As Summer approaches us, there is nothing that gives you confidence like a glowing tan. I have tried every method of tanning such as self tan products like; lotions, gradual tanners, mousses and sprays. I've also had regular sprays tans and used sun beds however no-matter-what the tan never seems to work or stay in place on my fa</span><span style="color: #454545;">ce. </span></span><br />
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After struggling for years to find the perfect facial tanning product I discovered the Isle of Paradise drops. These have been raved about on social media, so I decided to purchase the product and try it myself. I bought mine in store from Boots for £19.95, and on first impressions I like the overall appearance of the bottle and the price isn't too extortionate. The product is dispensed with a pipette and you simply add 1-12 drops (depending on the darkness you wish for) into your normal moisturiser and apply to the face. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Isle of Paradise are a vegan, organic and cruelty free brand which I know appeals to a lot of people. The tans are formulated using ingredients such as chia seeds, avocado and coconut oils which makes them kind to the skin unlike other tans which can personally sink into my pores and break me out. They use colour correcting technology which is something I’ve never seen before in a tanning product. I use the Purple bottle for a dark tan however you can also get Peach for a light tan and Green for a medium colour. There's a flowery scent to this, which makes a pleasant difference to the usual biscuit smell.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<div style="color: #454545;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Before my first application I made sure to exfoliate my face to buff away any dead skin and allow for a smooth application. I decided that I wanted to apply the product in the morning so that I could watch the process and see how quickly it develops. Although, the bottle does suggest to apply it before bed and allow it to develop overnight. I applied 8 drops into my Liz Earle moisturiser and mixed it together in my hands before applying directly onto my face. I know people like colour guides, which is something this product doesnt have but once you get used to it, it’s easy. This particular moisturiser needs a bit of help absorbing and rubbing into the skin so I made sure to be careful as i didn't want to risk getting streaks, especially on the neck. Lastly, I thoroughly washed my hands to avoid<i> orange</i> <i>fingers</i>. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="color: #454545;">Throughout the day I continuously asked my boyfriend for his opinion on my facial tan and I gladly got his approval. After about 9 hours I washed my face and found myself not overly satisfied with the colour. So, when applying my night cream I decided to add a couple more drops (which took me up to 10 drops). In the morning I woke up to find the most dark and glowing tan of my life, so I just washed my face, applied some mascara and headed off to work. I will happily admit that I have never gotten so many compliments on my tan, almost every customer asked me if I had been on holiday. I take that as a compliment! Approximately 5 days later I found the tan to have faded completely which I believe to be a great amount of time considering the skincare products that I am constantly applying to my face.Before my next application I will follow the same steps by exfoliating beforehand just to ensure every trace of the tan is removed.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="color: #454545;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="color: #454545;">Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase and recommend any fellow-facial-tanning-product-addicts give this one a go! </span></span><br />

<br />
When I first started my journey into becoming a Beauty Therapist, a blog post like this would have been so helpful! So, I decided that after 3 years of hard work I could talk you through my journey to hopefully inspire and most importantly, educate any aspiring Beauty Therapists out there to know exactly what this course involves. So sit back, get a snack and prepare yourself for a long post....<br />
<br />
It all began by applying to College through my Secondary School and I knew that I needed a grade C in English and Science to achieve a place on the course. I attended an interview date to meet my future tutors and it allowed us to get to know each other a little better. I remember being extremely nervous as I’d never had an interview before and went in not knowing what to expect. She asked me a few questions such as- “Tell me about yourself” and “Why do you want to be a beauty therapist?”. A few months passed, I had finished my GCSEs (with the grades I needed) and I had to order my uniform and kit online. When everything arrived it finally felt real and I was very much looking forward to this next chapter in my life.<br />
<br />
I don’t have any memories of my first day of college but I know I was the most nervous I had ever been. I had bought myself a giant folder for any handouts that were given, a pencil case full of pens and felt tips and a diary to note any assignment due dates. On the first day I’m sure we would have focused on getting to know everyone in the class and spoke about what the course consists of.<br />
<br />
The treatments I learnt during level 1 were; Basic Manicures & Pedicures, Skincare, Themed face painting, Makeup and Creating an image. I attended college 3 days a week and had a mixture of 3 hour practical sessions and theory classes. I knew straight away that this was the career for me as I picked everything up so easily- the practical lessons were educational yet fun, the theory was very interesting to me and I loved writing assignments. It also became apparent that this course was difficult, the work load was plentiful and it involved a lot of creativity. One of my favourite things about level 1 was moodboards. We had two ‘Create an Image’ assessments- I did an 80s Bridal look and a Fairy. It allowed us to use our creativity to plan an outfit, hair and makeup look for our chosen theme. We also trained in face painting, which was something different that I didn’t expect from beauty therapy. It was messy, entertaining and quite hilarious to make my friends look like spider man or a mythical tiger. This year we had a week for enrichment which involved training in extra courses which was a great opportunity to fill up our CVs. I chose to do a makeup artistry course and gel nails.<br />
<br />
In order to achieve a Level 1 Beauty Therapy Diploma we had to put together a portfolio which had paperwork for every practical assessment we had gained. We would have pre and final assessments and our final assessment grade (pass, merit or distinction) would be the overall grade on our certificate. We did not work with many 'real' clients during level 1 as we mainly practiced on fellow students, so going into Level 2 I was nervous to know that all assessments had to be done on paying customers.<br />
Following the completion of level 1 I attended an interview to progress to the next level of Beauty Therapy. In this interview two of the lecturers asked a series of questions regarding why I wanted to continue training as a therapist and what my plans for the future were. I expressed my love for the industry and that I hope to continue on Level 2 and 3 and eventually have my own business in the future. A few days later, in the post, I received my offer of placement for Level 2 Beauty therapy and I couldn't have been happier.<br />

<br />
After a fabulous summer it was time to go back to college and begin my second year of studies. We had a new uniform and a kit with all new products and tools. I arrived at class with my perfectly neat bun and a makeup look I had spent an hour on, ready to show my tutors how excited I was for this new year.<br />
During level 2 we studied; Manicure, Pedicure, Facials, Eye Treatments (Brow & Lash Tint, Lash Extensions, Brow Shaping) Waxing (Bikini Line, Half/ Full Leg, Underarm, Forearm, Lip and Chin, Eyebrow), Create An Image and Makeup Application.<br />
<br />
I think that Level 2 was a great year and I made some wonderful friends in the class. Much like Level 1 we had a portfolio with all of our practical assessments and exam results/ assignments. This year there were many more practical assessments and an exam for each subject, so I knew that I had to work extremely hard. Most importantly, we had to work on 'real' clients. I had always been quite a shy, timid girl therefore having to work on clients was a little daunting to me. Nonetheless, I took on the challenge as I thought eventually it would become second nature, which it did. I wanted to do every client possible as I loved pampering them and getting good feedback after my treatments. I loved doing manicures/ pedicures, eyebrow/lash tinting and facials however I must admit that most students weren't looking forward to waxing as I think we were all a little bit reserved. I completely loved facials, still it did take me a while to learn the full massage routine and my hands did ache for the first few times practicing it.<br />
<br />
For my Create an Image I chose a Unicorn. I spent ages creating a moodboard, I bought bright pink spray on hair dye and a unicorn headband. I had a pleasant time creating my look this year as I felt my makeup skills had improved greatly and I had so much more confidence in myself as a therapist. This year for enrichment I picked Sienna X spray tanning and Eyelash perming which again were great additions to the CV.<br />
<div>
When it came to exam season I was apprehensive to say the least. Exams had never been my strong point and the hardest part was revising and not knowing what questions they may even ask. I think I passed half the exams and ending up doing written assignments for the ones I failed. I didn't mind though, as I love writing and assignments were quite enjoyable for me. </div>
<br />
At the beginning of the year I was concerned about finishing the course in time, knowing how many practical assessments we had to complete, however I got through them rapidly (because of my eagerness to take clients) and ended up being the first to finish. That allowed me to sit and revise ready for Level 3.<br />

I attended my Interview for Level 3 with two of my tutors and unravelled that even though I hadn't been offered a place yet, truth be told I had already been revising. At my college there were three different routes to Level 3. It was either; Electrical, Spa or Media Makeup Artistry. I spoke to a variety of the previous Level 3 students whilst modelling for them during my second year as I wanted advice to which route I should choose. I had always had a huge passion for skincare and facials therefore the Electrical route seemed the obvious choice. When speaking to one of the students she explained how thankful she was that she chose the electrical route nevertheless she made it evident how difficult the course was. Now finishing the course I can also accentuate how strenuous and demanding the course can be, although It has been my most favourite year out of them all.<br />
<br />
The treatments were studied were; Electrical Facials (High Frequency, Microcurrent, Microdermabrasion, Faradic, Galvanic, Vacuum Suction), Electrical Body Treatments (Microcurrent, Faradic, Galvanic, Vacuum Suction, High Frequency), Body Massage and Electrolysis. As you can see, that meant a whole lot of learning and training for these new electrical machines. It seemed impossible at the beginning of the year, yet after hours of work in the library I am now knowledgeable and trained to perform every one of those treatments and I couldn't be prouder. This year we were lucky enough to have 4 three hour practical sessions, one of those being time to perform and perfect our level 2 treatments. I found this to be beneficial to enhance my quality of treatment ready for going out into industry. We also had a theory class in which we learnt all of the anatomy and physiology however that simply was not enough time to learn it all, which indicated the importance of home study. My portfolio this year was as heavy as ever with all of my practical assessments and in the same way as before we had exams for every single topic. I can contemptuously say that I have passed every single exam and I could not be more thrilled after how diligent I have been. It truly shows how hard work gives results. I believe that after three years at college, my self-confidence and assertiveness has boosted and I am ready to start my career in the beauty industry and continue to grow and learn as a therapist.<br />

<br />
This Easter weekend my boyfriend and I took a trip down to Brighton. I have wanted to visit Brighton for many years now and It didn't fail to disappoint me. The weather started out rainy on our first day however it got better gradually, and we ended up getting some photos in the sun. I am so glad that I managed to take lots of photos so that I can remember what a brilliant time we had together, and I thought It would be nice to select a few and share them in a blogpost for you.<br />
<br />
Brighton really does have everything you would ever need! The stunning beach, the pier, the lanes with so many independent and quirky shops, the array of restaurants and the shopping centre with all your high street stores.<br />
We travelled to Brighton by train and on our first day we had a walk around to discover how easy it is to get lost. Brighton isn't very big but can get confusing at times. We had a lovely Italian meal that evening and then got a good nights sleep ready for the next day of adventures.<br />
The next morning we went out for a big breakfast to prepare ourselves for a day of shopping. We ended up walking over 40,000 steps in two days so we certainly burnt off all the delicious food we had been eating.<br />
The following day we ventured up the i360 which was a breathtaking and wonderful experience. The views of Brighton were simply stunning and I’m certainly glad we made time to do that. Finally, that evening we couldn’t decide where to eat- so, we went to three different restaurants for each course of our meal. We live a crazy life!<br />
Overall, we had a wonderful time in Brighton and look forward to visiting again in the future.<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It has been nearly a year since my last blog post and I’m at a place in my life where I am ready to open the laptop back up and update you on what’s been happening.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As you know I am a student and have been in my third year training as a beauty therapist. I knew this final year of studies would be difficult and I wanted to focus all of my down time on revision instead of blogging, which is exactly what I have been doing. I have gone through many note books and pens studying for my course. We had 9 new treatments to learn with all new machines, as well as all the theory and anatomy and physiology behind it all. I now only have five exams left and a couple of practical assessments and then I will be all signed off and looking for work in a salon. These past three years have been life changing for me, I have learnt a large amount and have grown so much as a person. <i>If you would like to see a post on my experience studying Beauty Therapy then let me know in the comments, as i feel it could be very beneficial for the aspiring beauticians out there. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i><br /></i>
This year i have put down the makeup and developed my passion for skincare. My college course includes electrical facial treatments and I have found studying the skin and the benefits these treatments have extremely interesting. I have trained with Eve Taylor skincare through my college and that opened up my eyes to the world of skincare, aromatherapy and body care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am still working in the bakery part time however this year I have gained work experience in a salon. During my work experience I answered phone calls, booked appointments and was also able to demonstrate a handful of treatments on the manager to gain feedback. Working in this salon only made me more excited to begin my career as a beauty therapist and to train in as many treatments as possible. In the future I am wanting to extend my treatment list and specialise as a esthetician. I would also love to learn more spa treatments as my course doesnt provide that. For example, Body wraps, Hot stones and Indian head massage are all treatments I would love to train in. Overall, I am looking forward to the upcoming years so I can find my feet in the industry and start the rest of my life as a beauty therapist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In other news, this year i have met my boyfriend. He and I have been to together for almost a year now and he has improved my life for the better. He makes me laugh, he has improved my confidence and makes me want to be a better person. We have been on many trips together this year, we have visited; Ambleside, Norfolk, Sherwood Forest, Brighton and we have just booked a holiday to Gran Canaria this summer. We met back in May 2017 and have been inseparable ever since. I have always had plans to open my own business in the future and it just so happens that he studies International Business at Loughborough University so i now have my business and life partner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">With all that being said, I have truly missed blogging and can't wait to begin writing again. In terms of blog posts I have many ideas of what I wish to speak about however your suggestions are always welcome in the comments below. I want to thank you all for reading this post and for sticking with me during this break I have taken. Here's to a new start!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">With Love,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">A question I always get asked is "What foundation are you wearing" or "What's the best foundation" but unfortunately there is no quick answer. When it comes to collecting makeup, foundations are a category that has quickly become out of hand. I love buying and testing new foundations which means I certainly have a large collection of them. However, today I've decided to discuss with you my most worn and ultimate favourite bases; Bare in mind that everyone's skin is different and a product that works wonders on myself may not be the perfect match on you. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I have a normal skin with a tendency to become oily in the TZone therefore I typically prefer a liquid or stick foundation with a matte finish and a medium to full coverage. But without further a do, if you would like to know my top 7 foundations then keep on reading...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For those girls with dry or dehydrated skin this is the perfect foundation for you due to its luminous and dewy finish, however I feel as though it could work on most skin types. It has great coverage and gives a flawless finish even with any large pores, texture, dry patches or blemishes. My prefered method of application is with a beauty blender and a little goes a long way with this foundation which is a good thing since it lasts a very long time. I have it in the shade 'Mont Blanc' which is a great match and I dont find it to oxidise throughout the day. Once set with powder it's longwearing and makes my skin look simply perfect. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I have purchased this foundation 3 times now which suggests it's a favourite; my only complaint would be the separate purchase for the pump that i feel should be included since it's a fairly expensive product. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This product has been a trusty makeup companion for years and has been repurchased countl</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">ess times. It's my go-to foundation that has a medium, buildable coverage that is also fairly matte, so it helps to combat my oily areas. I wouldn't recommend this foundation to those with a dry skin as I feel it could cling to dry patches nonetheless in my opinion it would work perfectly for oily/combination skin types. As a very pale person, I wear NC15 which i find to be a great colour match. I choose to either apply this with a dampened beauty blender or my Artis brush and I am able to achieve a perfect finish. Again this foundation doesnt come with the pump and you have to purchase it separately but it's such a minor setback to how much I love this product.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This is a great foundation for those with combination/dry skin due to it's moisturising factors and it is also fragrance free making it a great option for anyone with sensitive skin.It works well to cover uneven skin tone with its medium to full coverage and I love the packaging of this product which luckily comes with a pump. I like to apply this with a dampened beauty blender and I am left with a beautiful dewy looking base that once powdered stays put for hours. I have it in the shade 'Snow' which I find to be the perfect colour match for me. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This is my favourite drugstore foundation that I find compares to my more expensive bases. It is drugstore which suggests it's very reasonably priced so if you're on a budget and are looking for a product that performs like a high end foundation for half the price this could be the one for you. Again, this would be the perfect foundation for those with combination skin. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with overly dry or extremely oily skin as it feel it might not suit you. I find this to be an incredibly smooth foundation with a satin finish and brilliant coverage. The texture is so silky when applied to the skin with a beauty blender and it really blends so easily. This is the best budget foundation I've found for lasting power, once set it can wear for hours. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This is the foundation I will wear when I know I'm having a long day and I want my makeup to still be intact by the evening. This is hands down the best product for staying power and it's a great medium to full coverage foundation that is suitable for oily, combination or normal skin. For those with a more dry skin types I would perhaps suggest using the hydrating primer or thick moisturiser before using as I think It could possibly cling to any dry areas you may have present. A little goes a long way with this and I enjoy applying it with either a beauty blender or my Artis brush in order to get a flawless finish. In terms of finish I wouldn't say it's either matte or dewy and i dont find it to oxidise throughout the day. The packaging is very classic and beautiful but it doesnt come with a pump so I actually use a Mac pump on this foundation! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For those days when I want a quick and easy makeup look this is my go-to foundation. When applied with the Zoeva Buffer brush it takes a ma</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">tter of seconds to apply the stick foundation straight onto the face and buff it into the skin. It's very creamy and is simply a dream to blend, without effort you are able to get a medium coverage with a satin finish that looks smooth and flawless. This foundation works great on my combination skin although I can imagine it would stick to dry patches so be aware if you have dry skin that you will need to use a hydrating primer beforehand. I was worried that this might enhance or settle into my pores although it actually glides over them making my complexion look perfect. It definitely needs setting with a powder to ensure it doesnt slip around the skin or separate after a few hours but once set it lasts for a good 7 hours. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Today I decided to bring you a mini review on this Chanel Powder which I have been testing for the past few weeks. Before trying this I was using the RCMA no colour powder however the packaging soon became an annoyance and I'd been on the lookout for a new loose powder to replace that one. I then came across the Chanel Poudre Universelle Libra Loose Powder and figured I would give it a try. So, without further a do here are my thoughts on this product. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">First of all, it goes without saying that the packaging is simply stunning as all Chanel products are, It's most certainly a dressing table decor piece. My prefered method of application is with a beauty blender (although it does come with a Chanel Powder Puff); I like to press it into the skin as I find it ensures I stay matte all day and it keeps my makeup in place for absolute hours. The product itself is very finely milled which allows for a smooth finish without looking cakey, thick or dry. It has a natural finish that is light and weightless although i find it very mattifying without looking flat. Any other powder products i apply on top always blend seamlessly and I never have to re-touch throughout the day. I have it in the shade 20 Clair and it's a great match for my NC15 skin tone.T<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">he package itself is quite large, containing what seems to be an inexhaustible amount of product which I doubt I'll be using up anytime soon; It has a s</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;">ubtle scent that isn't noticeable upon application. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The first day that i tried this foundation I wore it with my Makeup Forever HD foundation stick and after being at work all day in the heat I got home and my base was still flawless. This for me is a true test of a powder as it's very important for my base to stay matte and to ensure the oil is kept at bay especially on my T Zone. It works wonderfully to set my concealer ensuring that it doesnt crease and looks impeccable. Because of that I would most certainly recommend this powder despite the fact it's pricey I for sure think it's worth it. This product has now taken place of the RCMA and Laura Mercier powders as I honestly think it's the best! </span></div>

Would you like me to continue doing posts and mini reviews on products as It's something I could definitely do. </span></div>
