I hope everyone has been well and that you are all having a great weekend. Firstly I just wanted to apologise for my absence. I've been going through a pretty rough time recently which has been taking up all my time and I also didn't have access to the internet for a little while....so I had to take a break from blogging and I feel really bad about that. It's wierd, I feel like failed at it or something as I'd only just started out and I was doing so well! <br />
Anyhow, I hope all you guys haven't given up on me and I hope to have new posts up and hopefully make some improvements on the look of my blog real soon :) I have quite a few new products that I'm really excited to try out and share with you all!!!<br />
I'll keep it short and sweet for now and will have some new posts up soon! <br />
<br />

I cannot believe it's November already, so as it's the start of a new month I thought I would do a post on what I've been loving in October. I also wanted to apologise for my absence over the last couple of weeks, I've been having a few personal problems and they have taken up all my time and energy over the last few weeks. It's amazing how guilty I feel for missing only a few weeks, I've been itching to get back! <br />
Here's a few things I've been loving this month:<br />
<br />
<u>Li‘l Lush Pud</u><br />
This was my first ever Lush purchase and I loved it! My skin smelt lovely afterwards and I could still smell it in my bathroom the next day! I've just made another order to Lush so I'll let you know what goodies I've got. If you've never tried Lush I would highly recommend you do. I've always been a bit nervous about Lush because whenever I've been in the shop I felt overwhelmed by all the different types of products and I wasn't sure what any of them did. I finally took the plunge and read their Lush Times paper and I feel like I understand what's what now! <br />

<u>OPI Sparkle-icious</u><br />
This is from the Burlesque Collection. Such a fun polish which I'm going to be wearing lots between now and Christmas. It will be great for all the parties over Christmas! It was really easy to apply and dried super quick.<br />

<u>Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish and MAC Studio Fix Foundation NC15</u><br />
I'll be doing a review on these two in the next couple of weeks so I'll talk about them more in depth then. <br />
I'm in love with MAC Studio Fix foundation, I know this is probably an old one for most of you but I have only just tried this for the first time this month. I bought the pump too, I thought it would be too fiddly to try and tip it out and would end up wasting lots of product too which you definately don't want!<br />

So on Sunday night I was sat trying to enjoy the last few hours of remaining freedom before Monday rolled round again when I got a lovely surprise! I went onto Twitter and saw I had received 2 blog awards from the lovely <a href="http://behindtheshoes.blogspot.com/">Behind the Shoes</a> :) It made my night and I was over the moon to receive the following:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtjtXUXL8UG-GBBsECHPqwk-rsOdKHfXd8PxRhcsD4m5NDwnWwr5x-20Vz-dbpddQZz3p6ygnm3VBAU3lJj8CvRsPq89e3mdDVSuKWsT4MywyV5Ne_Rhftdr8erU6KHKbGkRauw6Wx9X0K/s1600/beautiful_blogger_award.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtjtXUXL8UG-GBBsECHPqwk-rsOdKHfXd8PxRhcsD4m5NDwnWwr5x-20Vz-dbpddQZz3p6ygnm3VBAU3lJj8CvRsPq89e3mdDVSuKWsT4MywyV5Ne_Rhftdr8erU6KHKbGkRauw6Wx9X0K/s1600/beautiful_blogger_award.jpg" /></a></div><br />

As part of receiving these awards I have to tell you 7 secrets/facts about myself and pass these awards onto 10 other lovely bloggers.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure these are very interesting but here you go haha! <br />
<br />
1. I almost died once, when I was really small (about 5 I think) I almost drowned at hemsworth water park and a man jumped in to save me! <br />
<br />
2. I'm a big console gaming geek (when I get time!)...current favourites are Left 4 Dead and any kind of guitar hero/rock band game.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjKDNuUj84uNCdWoj6E1JFslHRg4kQFoUgMaY_XpKqi7ZSxahyphenhyphenj07l_lqkRWZVioolCm2Mshr95BRpyqRUDgq9W1mhw9_uGEA7oRSqu_pJt2iscSEDO8YQ_L4LUJ06AUyFRfiEsQV1PUHg/s1600/guitar+hero.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjKDNuUj84uNCdWoj6E1JFslHRg4kQFoUgMaY_XpKqi7ZSxahyphenhyphenj07l_lqkRWZVioolCm2Mshr95BRpyqRUDgq9W1mhw9_uGEA7oRSqu_pJt2iscSEDO8YQ_L4LUJ06AUyFRfiEsQV1PUHg/s320/guitar+hero.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
3. My favourite kind of music is rock/punk/metal music - bullet for my valentine, paramore, papa roach etc (hence my love of the above games!)<br />
<br />
4. I have a strange finger (lol) my mum trapped my finger in the door when I was 1 and the end of my finger came off and my nail is now stuck to my finger so it's curled over. I hate it but I forget it's there 99% of the time. (I will spare you a picture unless any of you would particularly like to see!!)<br />
<br />
5. I love to sniff any kind of catalog or magazine it's one of the best smells ever haha along with grapefruits, matches and fresh cut grass. Ooh I also like to sniff my cats fur, they smell nice! <br />
<br />
6. I don't drink alcohol very often and I much prefer a cup of tea (as sad as that is!) My other favourite drink is a snowball they make me think of Christmas my fave time of year :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKG571Ml2Po1uj4Z0BU0Vz4kUPslQgy_8wtt6UOJZuiw0Dba4OU27rJyBepKNfxFXFe9aGWlUiZM9FsFeuEh_I0Z817gPMMduMeFF8ZY_dnH1qa7wSNyz5K0-zUnd97wXevyafCXQqp6kf/s1600/snowball.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKG571Ml2Po1uj4Z0BU0Vz4kUPslQgy_8wtt6UOJZuiw0Dba4OU27rJyBepKNfxFXFe9aGWlUiZM9FsFeuEh_I0Z817gPMMduMeFF8ZY_dnH1qa7wSNyz5K0-zUnd97wXevyafCXQqp6kf/s320/snowball.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
7. I was an only child for most of my life (my mum had me really young at 15) and thought I always would be, but I now have a sister who is 4 and a little brother who is 1.<br />
So, the lovely ladies I have decided to pass this award on to are:<br />

They are both British Shorthairs - Dolly a Blue Cream and Bo a Blue. People never understand that Dolly is the same breed as Bo because she's a varient. Apparently hundreds of years ago the BS nearly went extinct so they bred them with Persians. Even though it's not done now the persian still runs in the blood and every now and then you get a fluffy one! (This is what I was told anyway!) <br />
Here they are, love them to bits<br />

How on earth is it Sunday night already, the weekend's just go way too fast! <br />
<br />
I had a request from the lovely <a href="http://skinscrubs.co.uk/">Skin Scrubs</a> a couple of days ago, who wanted to see me with green eyes. <br />
I kind of didn't want to do a FOTD because I've been ill this week and now my skin is all dry so I'm sorry about that!<br />
I had a rake through my make-up and the only greens I had were in my Front Cover Eye Spy pallette.<br />
<br />
<br />

There was 3 greens in the pallette - Lime Sherbet, Parrot and Amber Green. I first started off trying to do a day look with the Lime Sherbet and Amber Green but the colour payoff was just not good enough and you couldn't even see it on the camera. I think next time I will try those colours wet to see if it gives a stronger colour.<br />
<br />
So next up I thought I would try a more evening/party look using the Parrot colour. <br />
First I primed my eye's using Urban Decay Primer Potion, than I put the parrot colour all over my lid blending out the harsh edges and I also put a little bit underneath my eye as well. Next I put liquid liner on my top lid and lined my lower lid with a black pencil. On my eyelashes I have on Max Factors Xperience Mascara. Here are the results (click to enlarge) - <br />

After I had done this plain green look I thought I'd try adding some of the glitter that comes with the Eye Spy pallette on top of the green. I used Sweet Pea and Ingot - <br />

I had to be quite careful putting this on over the top as it tended to drag the eyeshadow colour underneath so I just tried to pat it on. Here's what it looks like with the glitter -<br />

I was sparkling like a Christmas tree! You can't see the effect as well on the pictures but it does look really pretty in real life and would be good for a party! On my lips I was wearing Models Own Lip Balm in Blackberry. <br />

I REALLY like Models Own Lip Balms, I would say they're more of a stain than a balm as I don't find them particularly moisturising but they give a lovely colour and they smell yummy! :)<br />

Well I hope you like today's FOTD and hope you all are enjoying the rest of you weekend! <br />

<br />
Well it's been a while since I've posted, or it feels like it anyway! I've been really ill the last couple of days and just really haven't felt like sitting in front of a computer, I'm not actually better yet but I felt like it was getting too long without a post! <br />
<br />
So a couple of days ago I got a set of 3 Juicy Couture 7.5ml rollerballs and I LOVE them! I have to admit I bought them without smelling them first which I don't normally do but I'd heard a lot of good things about them so I thought I'd take a chance and the gamble paid off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz6V1aPkD4dNDwsUQToSZjdTOXqsr7O9udQhXEZOb7wfNUwZmegBaxOdoXir9QpNNtiPHcR1isvPrGJ0JM6fhYj78nPtl_2goiph9hWdlvEQQxQmu_803TJGAibkFzhoarfGeleb_GnC9G/s1600/P1020732.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz6V1aPkD4dNDwsUQToSZjdTOXqsr7O9udQhXEZOb7wfNUwZmegBaxOdoXir9QpNNtiPHcR1isvPrGJ0JM6fhYj78nPtl_2goiph9hWdlvEQQxQmu_803TJGAibkFzhoarfGeleb_GnC9G/s320/P1020732.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<u><strong>Viva La Juicy</strong></u><br />
Described as having top notes of wild berries and juicy mandarin tempered with honeysuckle, gardenia, and jasmine. Underlying it all are warm tones of amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood, and praline.<br />
This one is my favourite out of the three! <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Juicy Couture</u></strong><br />
Featuring top notes of watermelon, mandarin, and passion fruit combined with the freshness of bright marigold and green apple, lightened by a splash of water hyacinth and crushed leaves. Deeper notes of wild rose with sophisticated princess lily and creamy tuberose undertones. Base notes of caramel créme brulé and vanilla meld with elegant precious woods and patchouli.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Couture Couture</u></strong><br />
Top notes of pink grape accord with orange flower and middle notes of blushed plum, honeysuckle and base notes of sandalwood this perfume inspires to show off, be loud, talk to strangers, make a scene, and love life!<br />
<br />
What I was really surprised with was how strong the scents are and how long they last. I have quite a few perfumes (Will do a post on my collection soon!) and most of the time I notice the smell for a while but then after a couple of hours I can't smell it anymore. With these I put a really small amount on my wrist and on my neck in the morning and I mean a really small amount...like a swipe on each and I immediately noticed how strong the scent was. Later on that night I could still smell it pretty much just as strong as when I first put it on!<br />
<br />
Another thing I like about these is the size, being 7.5ml they are so easy to pop in your bag or clutch and you always have something with you. As the scent is so strong this also makes me think it's really good value for money and will last a long time because you don't have to use very much.<br />
It's my first ever perfume in a rollerball and I'm liking very much! You can pinpoint exactly where you want it instead of it spraying everywhere!!<br />
<br />
So if you are thinking of buying a Juicy Couture perfume and aren't sure whether to go for it I would definitely recommend them, they're lush! I think I want a smell of their new one now - Peace, Love, Juicy Couture.<br />
<br />
Hope you are all having a good week so far, it's not long until the weekend girls! <br />

I'm wearing:<br />
- MAC prep + prime SPF50<br />
- MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer NC15<br />
- MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation NC15<br />
- The Body Shop All Over Powder<br />
- Urban Decay Primer Potion<br />
- MAC Venomous Villains Evil Queen Eyeshadow - Her Alter Image (All over lid)<br />
- Front Cover Eye Spy Pallette - Gothic Grape (In the crease and outer corner)<br />
- Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Liner<br />
- Max Factor Xperience Masacara<br />
- MAC Venomous Villains Evil Queen Blush - Bite of an apple<br />
- MAC Venomous Villains Cruella Lipstick - Innocence Beware!<br />
<br />
I'm really liking the new Max Factor Xperience Mascara so far, it makes lashes look long, is a nice glossy black and so far hasn't clumped!<br />
I bought the Front Cover Eye Spy Pallette last Christmas and as you can see I've barely even touched it! This is the reason I didn't buy the new To Go one they have on offer at boots at the moment for half price. I wasn't really impressed with most of the colours either. I really like the one I have so I'm just going to use this one up.<br />

While I was at it I quickly took a picture of me wearing the MAC Venomous Villains Malificent Lipstick in Dark Deed. (I know it doesn't really go with the rest of my make-up, I just slicked it on to show you) I really like it but with it being such a dramatic colour I think it would be best worn with simple eyes and a more natural blush.<br />
<br />
<br />

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend. I've been catching up on house work and all the TV shows I don't get chance to watch during the week and decided to paint my nails while I was watching the telly.<br />
I have to admit doing nail polish is not one of my favourite things to do, I don't know why I just find it really difficult to get it to look nice. I think it's because I've got quite small nails so I normally just have clear nail varnish on. <br />
Anyway, I decided to try out the Venomous Villains nail polish I picked up in Formidable! from the Maleficent line. It is a dark purpley (don't think that's even a word!) colour with turquoise shimmer in and I really like it, it's very pretty and dramatic.<br />
Here are the results, as I say I'm not particularly good at nail polish! <br />
<br />

The pictures just don't do it justice, it's so much nicer in real life and is really sparkley! :) I wish I had gotten Mean and Green as well but out of the 2 I'm glad I got this one.

<br />
So today on my lunch break I popped into boots to pick up a couple of things. The main reason I went was because I wanted to check out the new Xperience line from Max Factor.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIPAexMKEQuMKktY7Dh7Gl7bADoJfk8wcDNgG6qc-Sslk-R5mIVq11erf05rJKvSjkSdvB9RCFvCmM1eIHMn9i9gJ_Asc8XsUgKpGaJ0oQt9nqbC6TRpXgz9bUNhxfO7ooooSoAAUOi3xt/s1600/P1020562.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIPAexMKEQuMKktY7Dh7Gl7bADoJfk8wcDNgG6qc-Sslk-R5mIVq11erf05rJKvSjkSdvB9RCFvCmM1eIHMn9i9gJ_Asc8XsUgKpGaJ0oQt9nqbC6TRpXgz9bUNhxfO7ooooSoAAUOi3xt/s320/P1020562.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
There are 4 items in the range, a Foundation, Mascara, Lip Tint and a Sheer Gloss Balm. I was originally going to buy one of each item but when I swatched the Gloss Balm I decided I didn't really want it because it didn't give off a lot of colour. This is currently on introductory offer in boots with up to £3 off each item.<br />
<br />
The foundation comes in 6 shades and retails at £12.99. I got 40 - Light Ivory, which is their lightest shade and is described as being a luxurious full coverage foundation with a weightless feel. Suitable for sensitive skin, oil free and has SPF 10.<br />
<br />
The mascara is a volumising mascara which comes in black or brown. I opted for Black and this retails at £10.99<br />
<br />
Last but not least is the Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint. This comes in 3 shades which are all lovely and I wasn't sure which one I wanted the most but in the end I went for 03 - Pink Princess. This is just like a thick felt tip pen and you just colour your lips in with it! The lip stain costs £6.99.<br />
<br />
Here is a swatch of the foundation and the lip stain:<br />

The last thing I got was the Umberto Giannini Morning After Dry Shampoo. If I have to use dry shampoo I normally use Bastiste for Brunettes but even though it's kind of tinted brown it still makes your hair look abit grey! I've heard so many good things about this dry shampoo and that it doesn't leave hair white so I'll be letting you know how I get on with that.<br />
<br />
Over the weekend I am going to do some proper examples of the products I've bought recently on my face. I haven't so far this week because when I get home from work now it's already dark and when I take pictures in artificial light rather than natural daylight it takes me ages to to get a semi decent picture which shows the colours properly so I apologise about my crapness there! <br />
<br />
Hope you've all had a great week and thanks for reading.<br />

The reason is because I'm in the middle of a weight loss journey at the moment, I've lost 1.5 stones so far but want to lose another 2-3 maybe. I am only 5"3 so technically I should weigh about 8 stone even though I don't think I've ever weighed 8 stone in my whole life!! I tried on a size 12 and it fit like a glove but I could tell straight away that if I lose even a small amount of weight it's going to be too big.<br />
I don't want to waste money on clothes if they aren't going to last very long!

Well today was a very exciting day because I finally got my hands on the MAC Venomous Villains collection! I love Disney so this collection was very appealing for me :)<br />
<br />
The collection went on sale on the website on Monday 4th and is hitting the stores tomorrow. I would say now that if you are interested in this collection to get down to the stores sharpish because almost all of the items on the website are now gone!<br />
<br />
There is four parts to the collection - Cruella Deville, Malificent, Evil Queen and Dr. Facilier.<br />
Here is what I picked up (sorry about the photo's, I will take some better one's in natural light when I take pics of me wearing them)<br />

Small Eye Shadow - Her Alter Image - It has a little bit chipped out! :( <br />
<br />
I absolutely love this collection and can't believe how quickly it sold out but I do think there are a couple of things they could have done better or haven't thought about. <br />
In my opinion the Dr. Facilier part of the collection should have been something like Ursula from The Little Mermaid, that would have been awesome! Ursula likes red lipstick and the Magically Cool Liquid Powder from his range would have tied in with the water theme.<br />
The second thing I think could have been done better is that they did the Compact Mirror as part of the Dr. Facilier range but I think it should have been part of the Evil Queen range because her saying is - Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all! What do you guys think?<br />
<br />
I will put up some pics of me wearing some of these in the next day or so with hopefully some better pictures.<br />
Thanks for reading!<br />

I have to admit I never knew you could do this until about a week ago. I was wondering why all the boxes say back to MAC on them, so I googled it and found a page on MACs website which says that if you keep 6 empty containers and take them back to a MAC store (you can post them back in the US but not here) you can choose any free lipstick (but not limited editions like Viva Glam). Here is more in depth info - <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/customer_service/services.tmpl">http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/customer_service/services.tmpl</a><br />

It's a pretty good incentive. I have one empty so far :)<br />

<br />
I wasn't going to blog today but I'm seriously breaking out so while I was in the bath I thought I'd review a couple of the products I was using.<br />
<br />
As mentioned in one of my previous posts I get awful spots they're like lumps under the skin, I've been getting them for years and I'm 25 now! I went to the Dr's a couple of months ago and he gave me some tablets and I had a MASSIVE allergic reaction to them. It made my skin itchy and when I scratched it I got big welts (bit raised lumps when you've scratched) not nice! So I'm back to square 1 really and just trying to look after my skin and drink as much water as I can.<br />
<br />
Tonight I put on a Deep Cleansing Mud Mask from Superdrug, I can't remember how much it was think it was about 99p. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHar-pPcyrVcAR55Ap-dt_WVjc_t_cvTmJuUTReqWWG9B4eIk5nevByQGQwFc3T8CUo8-6u7EU1S0JaByMWNl3tkSJh3JXUeCGz669FK-iDWJqcZFWGim17VGSPz1xZEDH50eEnDaJfkh/s1600/P1020519.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHar-pPcyrVcAR55Ap-dt_WVjc_t_cvTmJuUTReqWWG9B4eIk5nevByQGQwFc3T8CUo8-6u7EU1S0JaByMWNl3tkSJh3JXUeCGz669FK-iDWJqcZFWGim17VGSPz1xZEDH50eEnDaJfkh/s320/P1020519.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>It has a thick green texture and a nice refreshing smell to it. Here is a scary pic of me wearing the mask so you can see the colour and consistency of it. I probably look a bit odd because I haven't added it to my whole face, I do this because I only feel like I need it on the bad areas and I don't want to dry my cheeks out too much and it also means it will last longer because I'm not using as much! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEiCzp6SofPcItUfRwbHRUMkKRQTUDfJbeY96RDzGqaimaOWc3zVQ2bHYGL9vUe1CZkMLpQu5qgFA7OSPIUOHnPP8WqUg_EKCDG4RoKvSd4KgZDXiT57Q-4cusDo34jEiboa6-VQmKHsN3/s1600/P1020510.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEiCzp6SofPcItUfRwbHRUMkKRQTUDfJbeY96RDzGqaimaOWc3zVQ2bHYGL9vUe1CZkMLpQu5qgFA7OSPIUOHnPP8WqUg_EKCDG4RoKvSd4KgZDXiT57Q-4cusDo34jEiboa6-VQmKHsN3/s320/P1020510.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Lush, not lol! This is a really nice product and has been really good value because it's lasted ages. I do prefer the MUDD masks but this does help when I'm having a skin crisis like today!<br />
<br />
Here's an example of the lumps under my skin, I know it's not very pretty I'm sorry!! But I'm just interested to hear if anyone else out there has the same kind of spots because I don't know anyone?<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The next product I want to mention is these Spot Reducer Gel Patches by Purederm which I picked up in Aldi when I was getting my fruit and veg.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiabWSWju4XjovC9aUcqFPyrR3FG4oEZ_h84MWGV_jjvKZQSN-xVreP70-eoUaAFHDtfFOTxXXpUT6EK_f3HlwZL1uk-4yN2RLigjrUoaLC04e49Cut0tre0yfO6VDclHURnh6X6CD8dAA6/s1600/P1020521.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiabWSWju4XjovC9aUcqFPyrR3FG4oEZ_h84MWGV_jjvKZQSN-xVreP70-eoUaAFHDtfFOTxXXpUT6EK_f3HlwZL1uk-4yN2RLigjrUoaLC04e49Cut0tre0yfO6VDclHURnh6X6CD8dAA6/s320/P1020521.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I have one thing to say about these, DO NOT buy them. Seriously, just don't! I got them because I thought they were going to be the same as the one's Montagne Jeunesse used to do called Spot Dots. So I was thinking great, definately going to get some of those. What you do is put them directly on the spot and then go to bed and it does improve the spot a little overnight (well the montagne jeunesse one's do anyway) The problem with these Purederm one's is you put them on and they slide all over and do not stick properly to your skin....complete rubbish! I will use the packet up but I won't be buying them again.<br />
<br />
Montagne Jeunesse PLEASE bring back spot dots! Didn't know this till today buy you can buy products from their website - <a href="http://www.montagnejeunesse.com/">http://www.montagnejeunesse.com/</a><br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a good week so far.<br />

<br />
I just wanted to share a tip that I find helps me ALOT! For those of you who suffer with really bad skin like me I find that if I take Zinc vitamin tablets I really notice the difference in my skin and I get a lot less spots. <br />
At the moment I'm just taking Tesco one's but my favourite type is the Holland & Barrett high strength one's.<br />

I got 2 Halloween themed one's for October from <a href="http://www.scentedcandleshop.com/">http://www.scentedcandleshop.com/</a> - I was really impressed with this shop, the order came really fast and you get rewards points for everything you buy too! (I think it's 2 points per £1)<br />
<br />
The candles I got were Pumpkin Patch and Witches Brew. My favourite is Witches Brew it is scented with Patchoulli and really does make me think of a witches brew, it almost smells magical! <br />

I'm going to buy some Christmassy one's once I've used these, I can't wait! :)<br />
<br />
I've been watching the X Factor tonight while burning these and I was surprised at what happened with Cher at the judges houses, I wonder if she get's through tomorrow.

I'm trying to catch up as it's taken me so long to get round to these! <br />
<br />
As promised here is my review of the Maybelline 24hr Superstay foundation and kind of my FOTD too...though I was a bit rushed towards the end as I was late for getting to work so after I'd done my foundation I just slapped the rest on!<br />
<br />
The shade I've got is the lightest shade they had which is 005 Light Beige. Here's a swatch and a pic of the bottle.<br />

Here is my skin when I have put the foundation on all over - I sometimes like to block my lips out too as it's a good base to put lipsticks on. I put it on with a foundation brush from The Body Shop (one eye is a bit bloodshot because I poked myself in the eye with the brush by accident ha!) As you can see the coverage is quite good but you can still see some of my spots and acne scars.<br />

This is a good foundation for £8.99 that has SPF15 in which you can get from boots/superdrug in the UK but it definitely doesn't last 24hrs! I put it on for work and by about mid day I had some shine so I had to use blotting paper but it still looked pretty good at the end of the day. It isn't the best foundation I've ever used but I would definitely say it's a good drugstore buy. I will carry on using this as an in between foundation. I am putting an order in with MAC soon so I'll be doing a haul on that but I am waiting for them to release the Disney Venomous Villains Collection first (very patiently I might add!) before I do the order so I'm getting a new foundation from there. I will use the Maybelline foundation until I get my new one.<br />

It's taken me a lot longer to do this than I wanted it to. Had a couple of rubbish things happen over the last few weeks but hopefully it's all sorted now. <br />
<br />
So, I wanted to talk about my skincare routine at the moment and I'm going to be really brave and put up a picture of my skin with no make-up on at all eek! I wanted to do this because I don't know anyone with skin as bad as mine and it doesn't even look too bad on this photo, sometimes it's much worse! I would love to hear from any of you that suffers from problem skin and what you do to try and battle the spots! Anyway, here goes...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXvwPC5oXSJ-iUkCPdPmSjR1DZww4UzS0ZIoe2j6OAexI9HuZulzeS404YR89v572L1c6abF2_7wQQuRvzFNi3okKW_n5b33S8IvXPRRORA5_7j11cal03zjz-EsfYFIebBUSA4z75Cm0d/s1600/P1020469.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXvwPC5oXSJ-iUkCPdPmSjR1DZww4UzS0ZIoe2j6OAexI9HuZulzeS404YR89v572L1c6abF2_7wQQuRvzFNi3okKW_n5b33S8IvXPRRORA5_7j11cal03zjz-EsfYFIebBUSA4z75Cm0d/s320/P1020469.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
As you can see, it's pretty bad! I have lots of acne scarring as well as spots, I don't really have any in this photo but I get big lumps under my skin which I think is cystic acne (not sure) which are really painful and take ages to go away. As well as the spots I'm really pale and I always think my skin is really dull and almost grey and I have black circles under my eyes. I'm really not sure why because I drink 2 litres of water a day, I eat plenty of fruit and veg and I try to look after my skin. Maybe it's hormonal? Does anyone else have these problems despite looking after yourself?<br />
<br />
So for the last month or so I have been using Clinique's 3 Step System. Step one is the Facial Soap - I use the oily skin formula. Step 2 is the Clarifying Lotion which is a toner - I've got number 3 which is combination to oily. There is a number 4 which is for very oily skin, and while I do think I'm very oily I do have some dry areas as well so I thought I'd better go for the combination. (For those of you with dry skins there is also a range available to cater for dry skins too) Step 3 is the Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel (the dry skin range has a cream instead). <br />
<br />
<br />

I use these 3 steps twice a day, morning and night, so what do I think of it so far? My verdict is that I really like it and I would definitely purchase it again but that it isn't a miracle worker. I really enjoy using it and I look forward to washing my face. It makes my skin feel lovely, but it hasn't stopped me from getting spots it has just improved them. My spots haven't been as big as they normally are but I still have to use spot creams to try and keep them at bay! <br />
If you are thinking about giving this range a try I would definitely recommend giving it go. You get quite a lot of product for your money so it is good value. The soap is 200ml, the toner is 400ml and the moisturiser is 125ml. Let me know if you have tried this and what you thought about it.<br />

<br />
<br />
Well this is my first post, it’s not a review or anything yet it’s just really to introduce myself and so there’s something up here on the site too!<br />
<br />
My name is Zoe, and I love anything beauty related…i love fashion too but I would say I definately have a thing for beauty products Now, one of the reasons I wanted to start this blog is because if any of you are anything like me then you are always on the lookout for those amazing must have beauty products that actually work and do wonders! I’m going to be letting you know what I think of the products that I use and hopefully it will give you a good idea of whether they’re any good or not!<br />
<br />
Now, the reason I called this blog Real Girls Beauty is because it is just that, I’m just your average girl. I have bad skin. I’m pale and my hair is terrible unless I spend time making it look nice so I’m always on the lookout for products to make it all that bit easier! I’ve recently been watching a lot of the You Tube beauty vlogs and everyone seems to have perfect skin (or much better than mine anyway!) So hopefully you will find my reviews helpful in some way or other. Doing a written blog seems a bit outdated now but I don’t think I’d feel comfortable enough to do vlogs, we’ll see how it goes!<br />
<br />
So, coming up soon I will be doing a review on Maybelline’s 24hr superstay foundation – I think 24hrs is a bit of a big claim so I will let you know! I bought this today to get me by until I have money to buy some Laura Mercier foundation so I will be doing a review on that some time soon too. The second thing I’m going to be reviewing is the Clinique 3 Step System but I think I’ll wait a few weeks for this one because I’d like to see how my skin reacts to it first.<br />
<br />
So that’s it for now, I will get that review up as soon as I can.<br />
<br />

Oh, on a seperate note…I went to watch The Runaways yesterday and I thought it was brilliant, much better than I expected. The clothes were awesome! You should go see :)Real Girls Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13228387410392975384noreply@blogger.com0
