<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Halloween seems like forever ago yet it has not even been a week yet! I thought I would share some photos. As you can probably tell I dressed up as a mermaid or rather a drowning mermaid as I had a horrific cough/disappearing voice. After pinteresting some ideas I came across mermaid make up with scales. Simple and easy for someone who lacks any artistic skills. The trick is to use fishnet tights over your head! I ended up using a wig cap, the first fishnets I bought were too thick and a practice run showed they wouldn't work. I struggled to find thin fishnets that were under £5. A wig cap at 99p was a much better idea and more comfortable to wear over your face. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I started by applying foundation normally and giving it a little while to settle. Starting with the eye area I applied blue Seventeen eye shadow with a brush then purple Revolution shadow for definition. I attempted to contour my nose with the purple but it didn't look right instead of starting again I piled on more blue which seemed to work better. It was time to pull the cap over my face, mixed the blue shadow with some primer and applied with a cheap sponge that can be thrown out after all that shimmer will be tough to get out a beauty blender. Using the purple eye shadow to definite then used silver Illamasqua<span style="font-size: small;"> liquid metal shadow as a highlight. Removed the cap with help of extra hands to avoid smudging to reveal the scales. Filled in brows, added liner and mascara then loaded on Revolution purple lipstick and dabbing liquid metal to the centre of the lips. I used Bleach London's hair crayons in Bruised Violet and Washed Up Mermaid in random sections which was hard to get the colour pay off and ended up giving up due to running out of time. Perhaps hair chalk would have been easier and quicker. I <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">didn't go for whole the <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">shell top and fish <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">tail <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">costume <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">because any plus size costum<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">es are a fortune and wouldn't have arrived on time<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">,<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">plus </span>this is <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">S</span>cotland in Octobe<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">r<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> wh<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ich mean<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">s<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> i<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">t's a better idea to stay warm.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is what I wore for a night out for a 21st birthday. I found this dress on sale rail in Debenhams naturally being drawn in by the collar. I've never heard of the brand Threads before nor can I find any information about them. It makes me wonder if it had been abandoned in the back for awhile and now the brand doesn't exist which is a real shame because the I love everything about this dress. Surprisingly I found the jacket in Sainsburys for half price, I wasn't even in the market for a new leather (well, PU leather) jacket made me realise how battered the one I've been wearing since I was 18 was. I had been on the hunt for some more casual heels when I came across these boots, again on sale, even though they don't have much of a heel the platform adds that extra bit of height I was after. Now that I think about it the only full price item was the necklace, at £3.99 it wasn't exactly breaking the bank. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There's something about about Coast dresses that I always love but never anywhere fancy enough to wear the beautiful occasion dresses, and normally more than I'm willing to pay for a dress I won't wear often. I came across this dress last summer it was originally £95 and I think it was on sale for about £28. A good bargain when you think about it. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This dress
originally had full length sleeves, unfortunately something that does
not suit me but I was too in love with the way the dress fitted and moved
to leave it behind. Off the sleeves came. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I just love how the skirt swishes about, which you can probably tell by these photos. Despite how much I love it I don't wear it enough because the cut out give me a bit of a ridiculous cleavage that I can only get away with for a night out. I keep meaning to get some sheer fabric to put in the cutouts so that I can get away with taking it on daytime outing. The cardigan was one of those things that I picked up when looking for wedding outfit before I had a dress. Black and cropped I thought it was a safe bet and something that I could wear again. </span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In
the seven years I've been with my boyfriend Raymond, we've had never been invited to a wedding before, which is shocking considering he's one of those
people that knows <i>hundreds</i> of people. Raymond has been friends with the groom since school so he was invited to the whole day and as he was asked to be the official wedding photographer, I only went to the
reception rather than the whole day. I would've probably ended up on my own most of the day
while he was busy as I only knew the groom and no one else attending. Shy girl problems. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway
as I was only going to the reception I wanted to get a dress that I
could wear again. Before even finding a dress I decided that a wedding is the perfect excuse to crack out the an item from my crown and glory collection. For a girl who likes a good excuse to dress up the
search for the dress was took a very long time. I ended up taking a
chance and ordering this Oasis dress, they seem to occasionally have
selected items in size 18 (wish they would just go up to an 18 in every
item), it did fit but just needed some shaper tights underneath to make things smoother. I used this as the perfect excuse to go buy new shoes and a bag, who wouldn't?! The best buy were the shoes originally £46 then reduced in the sale but they had black scuffs all over them, I knew they would come off so after asking at the till I got them for £13.50 in the end. We had a lovely time even if we didn't manage to do much dancing as we left before people had enough drinks to break out the move on the dance floor. </span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being a teen in the noughties has meant that thin eyebrows where the shape you,. even though I went to a professional to get them waxed back then I think they followed a 'one size' fits kinda all shape. It's only in recent years since I started reading beauty blogs that I realised brows make a big difference in framing your eyes. I only used to fill them in on a night out but now I filled them in whenever I've got make up on. Mine are still very patchy at the front but generally the shape is much better. Tweezers and a spoolie are the basics to eyebrow care but the past year or so I've discovered some products that help me get a better defined brow. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Threading </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choose threading over waxing. It gives a softer more natural shape. It isn't as harsh on the skin meaning that it is as red or angry for as long (if at all) afterwards. I find that going in with your brows filled in the way you like shows them the shape you like. Don't be scared to say that if you want to areas left alone especially when attempting to grow them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eyebrow oil </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eylure Brow Nourishing Oil is something I had never even heard of before, and picked it up </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">on a whim. It seemed pricey for such little product however when used regularly it really does work and has helped my brows grow quicker than when I have just left them. Roll along your brows paying extra attention to those spare areas.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eyebrow pencil</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm talking about the waxy softer kind as they are much easier the get a natural look and often have a triangular shape which makes everything that little bit quicker. Eyebrow Stylist from Sleek is apparently a dupe for the infamous Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting pencil but a fraction of the price! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Powder </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Currently my favourite way </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to fill in my brows particularly when things are patchy and sparse as you can build it up in areas you need without looking drawn on as pencils sometimes can if its a larger area needing filled. Use matte eyeshadows or a brow kit, it doesn't matter as long as you find your shade. MUA and Revolution do good kits for under a fiver. I'd buy a cheaper power then invest in an proper brow or angled eyeliner brush, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gel </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tinted gels are a speedy way to hold and define, unfortunately they don't work for me. Too big wands for too little brows just ends in a mess. Clear gels are more forgiving of errors and set them in place to avoid smudge. Those with thicker brows can get away with using clear mascara. The best clear gel I've found is the Urban Decay Urbanbrow and at £12 it is certainly not the cheapest around. The straight stiff brush is just the right size, dries quick yet doesn't give you the dreaded crispy brows. My previous tube last me about a year with almost daily use, definitely get your moneys worth. An added bonus is the package is opaque which means you can't see the gel getting discoloured. </span><br />

My plans for posting more often haven't went very well! I have a little backlog of photos to work through so I will get those up soon. These photos were taken in June despite the sun peaking through there was still a slight nip in the wind so the tights were still on. This was the first outing for the dress that had been hanging unloved since it's purchase in the sale many months ago. I'm not usually drawn to insect prints but these little dragonflies are subtle yet are colourful plus the dress was my favourite style. The jewellery both remind me of Kate Spade items that I'm forever lusting over which are very out of my price range, These are are filling that Kate Spade void nicely and were obviously much much cheaper. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ae Spark O' Nature's Fire took place way back on December 29th. Yes, it's rather late to share but I found these in my draft posts I wanted to share them as I love the photos. This is only a small selection of my favourites. This was an event hosted by the Burns Birthplace Museum, the memorial gardens where lit up with fire displays, I guess you would call it, candles, a light show on the Burn's momument and musicians playing. The Auld Kirk graveyard was lit up to it's full ghostly potential. There were even actors dressed up as devils and witches who were really enjoying being creepy and freaking people out in the dim light. I had attempted to make use of the atmospheric background but this was the day my horrendous chest infection started so I look miserable in all the photos. I'm glad I braved th cold piling on as many layers as I could because the photos don't really capture the intense heat and atmosphere of the gardens or the scale of this. I hope this wasn't a one off as I would love to go again minus the chest infection. Most of these photos were taken by Raymond because he knows his way round a camera much better than me in low light conditions and at any other time for that matter. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have accidentally let </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">things go into complete hibernation on here over winter. The start of this year wasn't great to say the least which is probably why I had been unmotivated and uninspired. The rare appearance of the warm spring sun has been lifting my spirits and I've been missing being creative with photos and outfits. It should be easier to get photos now that I have access to a good SLR and my outfit photographer to hand whenever I please. Here's to getting the blog rolling again! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In case the title of this post didn't give it away, I dressed up as Salem from Sabrina The Teenage Witch for a Halloween party. There had been talks of making plans for Halloween which is when I decided to use my Crown and Glory cat ears as I had yet to find an excuse to wear. A friend decided she was going to have a sci-fi and fantasy Tv show themed party. There went my cat idea until it dawned on me that Sabrina counted as fantasy and Salem was a cat! after some googling to see how to make a Salem costume different from your average cat, I decided to go with <a href="http://www.oystermag.com/sites/default/files/Sabrina-jpeg26.jpg" target="_blank">this</a> as it was pretty easy to do. It is a very loose interpretation of him but I wasn't going to wear a furry skin tight catsuit as it's not something I would have felt comfortable in. I couldn't get creative with face paints as I have no talents in that department plus apparently I'm allergic to face paint so good old black eyeliner, eyeshadow and lipstick it was. I thought I would have a practice and take some photos as I'm forever running late when getting ready for parties (who doesn't?!). On the night I made the eyes sharper but the completely mucked up my whiskers so they ended up much thicker than I would have liked. In the end I think that made them show up in photos better. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://uk.spacenk.com/ultra-light-daily-moisturizer-spf-50/MUK200010933.html" target="_blank">Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily Moisturiser SPF 50</a><a href="http://uk.spacenk.com/ultra-light-daily-moisturizer-spf-50/MUK200010933.html" target="_blank"> - £31 </a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's certainly the most I've ever spent on a moisturiser, and reasoned with myself that if you're going splash out on skincare a good SPF is the way to go. I had been unhappy with the SPF I was using that made my face very shiny when worn alone, I kept coming back to this. I pondered over it for a long time and since I started using a chemical exfoliator then higher protection was needed. A little goes a long way which means that the tube will last me until the strong sun goes back into hibernation, possibly longer. It smooths over dry patches making the skin really soft and calms redness. Make up goes over it well (although I use a primer between) and when going barefaced it is not shiny in anyway. The only bad thing about it is that now I want to try more Kiehl's products. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Hair/Shampoos/Everyday-Shampoo/Aussie-Shampoo-Take-The-Heat-300ml/p/320554#.U-vSt2M0-So" target="_blank">Aussie Take The Heat Shampoo</a> <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Hair/Hair-Conditioners/Everyday-Conditioners/Aussie-Conditioner-Take-The-Heat-250ml/p/320752#.U-vSnWM0-So" target="_blank">& Conditioner - £4.49 </a>These are the products that surprised me as years ago my sister used a blue shampoo from Aussie and I really <i>hated </i>the smell. When looking for something different to use I spotted Take The Heat probably cause it was on offer, I had a naughty snifff of the bottle and found that the smell was much more pleasant. I first used the duo on my hair that was in desperate need of a cut after blow drying it was much softer. I'm now using it on freshly cut hair and makes it even softer. I wouldn't pay full price for bottle just because they seem to be on offer so often that it would be daft to. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Paris-Color-Riche-Mono-Eyeshadow_1471419/" target="_blank">L'Oreal Color Riche eyeshadow in Gold Mania - £5.49</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I picked this up on a whim when there was on offer on the L'Oreal stand and as I was picking up the Lumi Magique concealer then it was rude not to. A matte brown shade caught my eye first but the few left had all been opened and swatched. I settled for this gold shade which is really pigmented and has good staying power and doesn't crease on me. </span><br />
<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/3-for-2-Offers/Eylure-Brow-Nourishing-Oil/p/919958#.U-0xGWM0-So" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></a>
<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/3-for-2-Offers/Eylure-Brow-Nourishing-Oil/p/919958#.U-0xGWM0-So" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eylure Nourishing Brow Oil - £8.25</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have sparse thin brows as I am trying to grow them in. I have seen various eyebrow growth treatments going about, more often than not they are rather on the pricey side. This seemed like a decent price, and thought it would last a while and was a handy roller ball. I've had going on two months now using it everyday and it still looks like it's never been used. While it does magically give you glorious full brows over night it does nourish the hair that is there and the skin underneath making both be in better condition. It is hard to tell with my slow growing brows but I think it has been stimulating healthier growth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/products/sale-5-1/nail-varnishes-3/nail-varnish-in-prosperity" target="_blank">Illamasqua Nail Polish in Prosperity - on sale £5</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every so often the Illamasqua counter puts there past season colours on sale. I had seen this colour before and had loved the colour, it was just slightly more than I was willing to pay for a polish. It was swiftly purchased after spotting it on sale. The colour is an almost florescent purple that takes two coats to be fully opaque and smooth which is not expected when the first coat is quite sheer and streaky. It really lasted a good 6 days on me which is a long time when my nails take a battering. It probably could have lasted longer without looking really badly chipped but I had been in the mood for nail painting as you do. A good quality formula and if nail polish is the area where you like to splash your cash then this is a good one offering. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you ever tried any of these? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I've always loved vintage inspired cherry printed dresses </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">with full skirts, sadly they are either very much out of my price range and truthfully I wouldn't really wear them unless I had a special occasion. To my annoyance I don't get many excuses to wear a fancy dresses. When I spotted this on the website I had it bookmarked immediately until </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">DP dropped one of their promo codes that often appear in my inbox. It's casual enough to wear in daytime or dressed up with the heels. The neckline is flattering for us bigger busted ladies and this style is available in many colours and prints. Although it doesn't look like I have spent loads of time in the sun this summer with the factor 50 on of course, I still remain paler than pale on camera. </span></span><br />

Burgundy floral crown as I do love an opportunity to co-ordinate and my

height. The necklace was a present from the boyfriend. I didn't realise I
had unconsciously went with a fruity theme! I want to add more fruit
prints to my wardrobe as they are always colourful and fun.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few wee</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ks
ago I went across the sea on the Waverly Paddle Steamer for a day on
the Isle of Arran. The Waverly is the last sea going paddle steamer in
the world and sets off from harbours up and down the country during
summer months but can still be enjoyed on the Thames through to the end
of October. You can check out <a href="http://www.waverleyexcursions.co.uk/" target="_blank">here</a>
if there is a harbour near you. If you get the chance then I would
recommend a sailing on it, except if you get sea sick very easily as it
doesn't take much for the boat to rock back and forth. The day I went
the sea was almost perfectly still which made for a very pleasant
sailing across. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As
the Waverly leaves right from Ayr Harbour which is very convenient for
me as it is about about a 5 minute car ride for me. The sailing took
just under two hours</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">which
goes by pretty quickly when your boyfriend is overexcited about being
on a boat and taking a million photos of everything! </span>The weather
had been undecided on what to do but the minute we arrived at Brodick
harbour it was warm and sunny even if there were some dark clouds
lurking on occasion.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> We took the a rather bumpy open top bus to Brodick castle, </span>where we stopped for lunch before looking around the gardens and inside the castle itself. <span style="font-size: small;">You could wander the gardens for hours but as dark clouds appeared</span></span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">we decided to take cover inside. It didn't even rain in the end. There are alot of interesting things in the castle and I really liked how there were guides in each rooms should you have questions. I always feel I should ask intellectual questions but usually just end up asking "what's that?". </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We decided to walk back into the centre of Brodick which should only take about half an hour. However I thought we should take the much more scenic route along the beach but ended up of a flat rock covered and slippery beach instead of the sandy beach I thought it was. Seeing as I pretty much can't go anywhere without hurting myself I slipped on seaweed and went flying backwards landing on my right arm. Despite being incredibly painful I knew it wasn't broken as I could move my fingers and arm. A few days later movement became unbearable so off to A+E I went where after 5 x-rays I was told I had a badly sprained wrist/arm, hence why this post is belated. I had a sling to wear for a few days and painkillers to ease the pain. It's much better now but still can't do certain movements yet such as throwing the dog's ball with the ball launcher.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">After almost breaking my wrist and arm we stopped off at Arran Aromatics and the cheese Factory Shop. It was a quick visit as funnily enough I wasn't in the browsing mood. We walked back the rest of the way and got chips to eat at the beach while we waited for the Waverly. The sailing back was even better as it was still warm, if you stayed at the front or top of the boat. We had a very snap happy time on the way back but these are just a couple of my favourite shots. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have always been lazy with moisturising my limbs but recently I discovered that not being lazy means that I have been not having itchy arms and it helps the skin look more even. Who knew?! My guess is most people probably did. I've been switching between the Korres Body Milk and The Righteous Butter depending on what I feel my skin needs. The body milk is light but very moisturising and smells so good, I also have the same scent in a shower gel, together they're a dream team. The Righteous Butter makes very dry sky incredibly soft with its thick consistency and is well worth picking up and it's often on offer in boots.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've used many face scrubs in the past and most of them have been tea tree ones and The Body Shop offering is the best I've come across. When my skin has angry blemishes I can see a difference after using this, they look significantly less angry. Even though I used to prefer ones with larger beads but this one has smaller and works better than them. The Body Shop site description of it says it "</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span itemprop="description">combines micro-fine exfoliants with bursting beads" and i guess that's what makes all the difference. </span></span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Doll Eyes is my favourite Mascara and has been repurchased several times. I normally stock up on those reduced twin packs of them in the sales. These Alber Elbaz designed versions came out some time last year, not gonna lie this was a case of being a serious sucker for the packaging and it promptly went to the top of my gift wishlist. I like the fluttery effect this mascara gives and its buildable so you can do one quick coat for a natural look or build it up for more of an impact. It doesn't flake and once it's on it doesn't budge until you want it to. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="pd_productNameSpan" itemprop="name"><span style="font-size: small;">I've been feeling the brighter pink lips. I wrote about the Rouge Velvet in my <a href="http://adventureswithcupcake.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/payday-wishlist.html" target="_blank">Payday Wishlist</a> back in May. I am kinda annoyed at my self for not getting it sooner, it is just the right shade of bold pink for me. It lasts well and it does get fade into that odd ring around your lips if you're not strict about reapplication. It is as long as you use a good lip balm before applying it isn't drying for a matte lipstick. Only after removal with an oil cleanser do lips feel a bit dry, it takes some working to remove it. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="pd_productNameSpan" itemprop="name"><span style="font-size: small;">Another mini size this month, the Clinque Chubby stick and a sheer pink colour. It lasts well and fade evenly. I find it quite moisturising on the lips. I've been liking wearing it when I feel my skin needs brightening up when I'm looking tired. </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="pd_productNameSpan" itemprop="name"><span style="font-size: small;">I've had the convertible colour for a while and used up some boots points to get it, I really liked the brightening colour on my skin but my amateur blush skills meant I easily over did it. I had been applying it with a stippling brush before, and now I've been using my fingers to dab it along my cheeks and then blend it out. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="pd_productNameSpan" itemprop="name"><span style="font-size: small;">Seems to be that this month I learned that blending is the key skill to have when it comes to colours. I did know this before and somehow it never worked for me. Have you learned any new make up skills this month? </span> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">These photos were taken on possibly the hottest day of the year so far after walking about for a few hours which probably isn't the greatest idea but then add in that </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">being pale as a ghost I put on some factor 50, the transparent spray kind, and it wouldn't sink into my skin so became a shiny oily messy. My sister also used it and it didn't do this to her. As my hair was down it </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">touched the oily mess and went all greasy and strange despite having washed it the night before. Never again! I bought the good old fashioned cream sun protection the next day. </span></div>

Admittedly they aren't the most flattering on my legs, but they are comfortable and at the end of the day that's all you want in shoes!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last week I shot some photos for my guest post Scots Bloggers which you can see <a href="http://scotbloggers.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/one-dress-three-ways-with-adventures.html" target="_blank">here</a>. This was the casual look and it was my favourite out of the three ways I styled this dress. I'm sure I've featured all these items so there isn't much to say except to mention my bargain of the century £4 Dr Martens. I persistant to wear them even though they give my blisters from them. It might be to do with that that are shaped to someone else's feet despite not even looking like they had been worn outside when I got them Luckiest find ever in a charity shop! The bag is from a local independent shop a few years ago. I love this jumper with this dress, particularly the red collar against the black jumper. The little red nose of the cat face ties it all together. The heart collar clips also match the little heart nose. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's my monthly favourites, not exactly photogenic ones but they are good products and at the end of the day that's all that matters. I wanted to get these up on time but couldn't get my hands on my usual camera as it was busy being used elsewhere recently. My little compact had to make do this time round. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I needed a hair mask and this was on offer for under £2, in the basket it went. When I used this for the first time I noticed a difference straight away shinier and softer hair. It feels really nourishing and smells good. After that first use I decided to stock up on another plus the shampoo and conditioner too while they were still on such a good offer. They are now on 2 for £6.</span></span></span></span></div>

I have been using the Dove dry shampoo when my hair wasn't that dirty and needed a little bit of volume. It doesn't leave any white powder no matter how much you use and it smells good too. </span> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I couldn't make my mind up over between Peach Daiquiri </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">or Cute as a Button but when my beady eye spotted that Peach Daiquiri came in a set with Lilacism, you can guess which one I went for, especially as it counted as my 3 for 2 freebie! It's a lovely almost neon pinky coral and a perfect summer colour and lasts well as most Essie polishes do. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You've probably heard of the Super Spot Remover before and it's worth talking about for a reason. Depending on the type of blemish it's used on (I get all kinds) it either dramatically reduces smaller ones or with those painful under the skin lumpy types seems to speed the whole process up while reducing the size slighty. It is expensive for such a small bottle but you use a tiny amount each time. The first bottle I bought lasted 6 months with almost daily use. I will soon be repurchasing my third. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've been trying to grow the front part of my eyebrows for a what feels like forever. Using powder to fill them in wasn't always enough for me. While I really wanted to try the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil at £26 I would rather spend money on other make up items as I am not very big on eyebrows. I saw that Sleek had a similar offering and at a much more affordable price. It give much more defined look than powder and the brush at the end is great as you don't need to take a separate one with you when traveling. I like to set it with a clear eyebrow gel just to keep my brows in place if you have thicker brows then you may not even need to with the waxy consistency. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had used a few of these </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="brandInfo">Lancôme concealers before but foolish decided to stray away and try others. While I found others that are good for everyday use nothing else gave me the same coverage that this does. When I started to go for lighter bases and using a higher coverage concealer where needed then I had to get this back in my make up bag. It blends easily with a finger or brush and can be built up on days where you need that extra bit of help. I find it rarely needs touching up. It may be pricer than that Collection Long Lasting Concealer but this tube lasts a long time pus when you can't squeeze that last bit out you can cut the tube open giving you many more applications.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why is it the month seems to last forever when you could really do with getting paid?</span></span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been lusting after so many things this month and thought a visual wishlist would be better than a mental one because those tend to get very long very quickly. </span><br />

I really loved this top and even had a 20% off voucher, sadly I couldn't justify it so close yet so far to payday on the rail it stayed</span></span>.<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Let's hope another <span style="font-size: small;">20% off event happens soon. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My current sunglasses are black with white polka dots which would be nice to switch up for a coloured pair when I'm already wearing </span>a lot of patterns and/or black. I want to get a pair without those plastic bits that sit on your nose (anyone know the technical term?), they seem make much more obvious sunglasses marks on my nose when I'm wearing make-up. </span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've been wanting to try NYX products for a long time. I had heard that Next stocked it when I was in Glasgow I looked for it in the Argyle Street store and couldn't find any. However on the NYX site it says was stocked in that store. Maybe it was in a hidden corner that I missed. If anyone knows for sure where stocks it let me know. I was excited about the Bourjois Velvets before release, I never took the plunge as I just was undecided on the colour. I have since decided on the shade Pink Pong after I saw <a href="http://www.viviannadoesmakeup.com/bourjois-velvet-rouge-a-k-a-the-best-liquid-lipsticks/" target="_blank">Vivianna Does Make Up</a> wearing it in a video. It'll be bought the day my pay comes in. It also happens to be on 3 for 2 in Superdrug which is a dangerous thing.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What can I say I like polka dots and skater dresses! It's much more summery than my curent white and black spotted combos. Come the colder months I think it will be easy to layer up with some knitwear and boots. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I most definitely do not need another necklace and with a £18 price tag I probably won't be getting it as it pains me to pay that much for a casual necklace. It was the lilac and gold that caught my attention. I love the simple design and the long length. If it hits the sale then I'll probably be persuaded. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've always loved those amazing 50's cherry print dresses with the insanely puffed out skirts, <span style="font-size: small;">not something I can get away wearing often in my little town and I never get invited to fancy parties. This little dress from Dorothy Perkins has just the right amount of 50's style to make it unusual and perfect for those sunny days. This will be getting ordered as soon as another discount code is dropped in my inbox, probably along with the dress above too!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sandals seem to be either</span></span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">completely flat or too high, neither of which I find comfortable for walking any distance in even if its around the town. These sandals have the right kind of block heel that to me normal means comfort, and the same reason I often favour brogues.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Basically they are pretty much the sandal version of a brogue.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I wore this out to a night out but recreated what I wore a few days later as didn't have time to take photos before. I first found the top version of this dress. It had added cap sleeves and a collar, sadly the fit was odd due to where the sleeves finished. Said times. Then I found this dress in the sale some weeks later, I tried it on and it looked nice but I didn't think it was worth the £20 tag, when it isn't a dress you could get away with in daytime and it's short length, back it went on the rails. Another few weeks went by and I came across the dress again but it was now £12 I tried it back on and had was wearing tights this time and it looked much better although the lower price most likely swayed me on that one! I do wish it had the collar like the top did but you can't have everything. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was looking for a necklace to go with this dress one that wouldn't catch on the fine lace, a problem I've experienced before and nearly ruined a dress. It added a little sparkle to the dress and it doesn't seem to show up on the photos. It pains me to pay full price for jewellery these days, by luck this had 20% off. I need to find more excuses to wear these shoes. I've became a heel wimp as I hate to have sore feet and it makes me very grumpy when I do so if I know there will be a walk longer than five minutes then I'll opt for wearing flatter shoes. </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For my birthday this year I was truly spoiled and two of my friends both got me a Benefit kit! This month I have been loving the Dandelion blusher, High Beam and BadGal Waterproof Eye Liner in this kit.</span></span> I <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">have looked at Dandelion many times before but never bought it. It really brights up the skin with the natural sheer pink colour. The plus for me is that it is pretty hard to over do it, something I am prone to with stronger blushers. I have used High Beam before but was unwilling to pay for the full size as it is not something I would use often enough to justify. I dot it along my cheekbones and on my cupid's bow. I have never been that fussed about eyeliner pencils, if it applies easily then it gets a thumbs up from me. I was going to save using the BadGal eyeliner until I used up my current mini Lancome one up, this was first to hand when I was in a rush to get ready and although it faded a little by the time I removed my make up a good 6 hours later it was still on my waterline! I wish I had discovered this back in my heavy eyeliner phase at 15/16 and after a sweaty gig would have eyeliner all down my face. I am glad I am lighter handed with the liner these days!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I am not quite sure why but this palette appealed to me much more than any of the Urban Decay Naked palettes. I had saved up a lot of Boots points and couldn't decided if I should save up more and get a high end foundation with them. Every time I went into boots this was always sold out, when it was finally in stock I grabbed it. I'm glad I did! The shadows are so buttery soft with good pigmentation on the lids.I have seen complains about fallout but if you pat the brush into instead of swirling around along with a little tap on the side minimises fallout. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">My most used shades are Bare, Kitten and Bubbly and are the perfect daytime colours. I do get use out of all the shades but I tend to go for the ones that require the least blending out. I tend to be a bit heavy handed with the darker shades which I end up looking too much for daytime on me. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was buying a base coat and top coat separately for years and keep looking at the Nails Inc offering thinking it was too much. It suddenly clicked one day that I had been spending the same amount on base and top coats as the price of the Nails Inc Duo and that weren't making my polish last any longer. I can now keep a colour on my nails for over a week before the chips start to look really awful, which is a very long time for me or when I fancy a change. I have seen improvement in the condition on my nails, they don't break or split much anymore.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Revlon Balm stains are firm favourites of mine. I have the Honey shade as well and could easily buy every colour.</span> As you can tell Lovesick is well loved as I've had it since they <span style="font-size: small;">first came out. It's a bold pink that brings some much needed brightness to my face. I can easily wear it all day without topping up as it fades evenly. I will be repurchasing this when it eventually runs out. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was excited about the launch of the Matte Balms for a long time and I wasn't disappointed. It applies very smoothly and doesn't dry my lips out. Sultry is a mauve pink and along the lines of my lips but better kinda colour. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When it comes to foundations I don't change them much at all but I found myself needing a new one and wanted to try something new and after a long search of trails and errors found this Clairns one. There is good range of 11 shades with different undertones which is where I struggle to find matches as most have too much yellow or pink. The shade Nude matches my skin and adds just a little warmth to my complexion while still being a natural finish. It feels light on my skin and doesn't have me desperate to take it off at the end of a long day. I had £5 off with my Debenhams beauty card when I bought it but I would repurchase at full price. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I came across the Gentle Exfoliator Brightening toner by chance as I was offered some free samples. I gave it a try when my skin had broken out due to too many lazy days using face wipes (learned my lesson, never again!). The night before my skin was very uneven, red and angry but in the morning it was evened out and slightly less angry, it hadn't made my blemishes vanish but it did make a vast improvement on my skin. That was me sold and had to get the full size version. It is pricey for a toner but it does last a very long time and actually makes a difference to my skin.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I kept reading about cleansing oils and I was skeptical about using oil but this Super Facialist Cleansing Oil is the perfect thing for us lazy girls making removing make-up an under 5 minute job. There is no need to use a separate eye make up remover as the dissolves mascara very quickly. It doesn't require a double cleanse, I follow with a face wash and then toner which is enough. The bonus is that this is often on offer so if you are unsure about trying cleansing oils then keep an eye out. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had a rare two days off together this week which meant I actually got a weekend for a change, so me and my good friend <a href="http://claireizabeth.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Claire</a> took the chance to go on a wee adventure to take some photos for each other. She has amazing style and makes me jealous of everything she wears, make sure you check her blog out and have a look at the photos I took for her. I love cherry blossoms and brightly coloured flowers which is why this post is more photo heavy than normal. This park is normally mobbed on a day when the sun keeps peeking out but it was a friday afternoon meaning that most people were at work/school. It was good for us we could snap away without feeling awkward about being watched. </span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Polka dots are another pattern I'm instantly drawn to along with hearts and stripes, and when the polka dot skater dresses started popping up </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">everywhere it was only a matter of time before one ended up in my wardrobe. It does differ from my other skater dresses with its high neckline and little puff sleeves. I must try to remember to take my cardigan off in the future but it's easy to forgot when Scotland has yet to have any sort of heatwave.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can't quite remember how I stumbled across Head Full Of Feathers but I'd say most likely through someone's blog. The site is filled with glittery accessories so it was only right that I sent a link of my favourite find to my boyfriend before Christmas. I have worn it many times already but this is the first I have got photos of it. I love wearing it to jazz up a something plain.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was so lovely to see this garden bright and colourful again after many years of neglect.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> It was even completely closed off for a long time. There used to be a pond with Koi fish in it but it was still empty although it was clean so maybe it will be filled up again as there is a whole regeneration going on in this park. </span></span><br />

I'm pretty sure the next time I went in all of the tops were gone. I'd say I made the right move there. I really love the print and collar but it creases so much, even the sleeves. Annoyingly that's always something you discover after you've worn it. It was a bad choice to wear to the cinema, which these photos were taken after as you can probably tell by the creases. The skirt was a bargain find in Belfast at a fiver. I just can say no to a five pound skirt! </span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I thought I'd do a quick outfit post of what I wore to a gig at the Oran Mor the other night to see A Plastic Rose. I really liked this outfit but taking photos post gig and a train ride later isn't the best idea. The quality isn't too great as it was just my little Canon compact camera. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I went off jeans for awhile but when found these jeggings I started to like them again and have bought a few pairs of jeans since mostly from M&S too! Good quality, comfy and around the £20 so ticks all my boxes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> I've always loved a checkered shirt and ones like this made from thicker material are perfect for layering at gigs for me. Easy for tying around my bag when it gets too hot but isn't all creased when you put it back on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">You may or may not be aware of my love for The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, but when my t-shirt I bought wasn't fitting anymore I couldn't face not wearing it so I cut the design out of the t-shirt and ironed it on to a cheap sleeves top. I really want to this with other band tees I have that I don't wear due to the fit. They always come is such odd shapes! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is what I wore on for my birthday on Monday. I really loved this outfit but it seemed difficult to photograph due to the stripes as if the top had moved a bit it made things look odd. The skirt was a mere fiver in new look recently and I'm sure I looked at these skirts when they were reduced to a tenner but never found my size in any of the colours. The top was a present and I really love the thinner stripes and the lace at the top and makes it more unusual from other striped tops.</span> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always loved lighting bolt shapes and back in my days of youth I wore two lighting bolt necklaces on rotation that were big and bright. I still have them but I wouldn't wear them anymore, so I have always been on the hunt for something abit more subtle. I found this necklace before christmas and I'm sure it was much more than I would pay for a necklace even by an independent maker which is why it never came home but on a recent trip to the Edinburgh store I found it again and it was a much lower price that I was happy to pay. I wanted to find ways to style my hair so I could wear all my lovely Crown and Glory goodies that I won. The one I'm wearing I did buy back in November. This was my first attempt at using a larger bun doughnut and much preferred the outcome despite obviously missing some bits with the kirby grips! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The other week I took a trip to Edinburgh with my boyfriend to see my favourite band The Answer play at the The Liquid Rooms. I've been a rather dedicated fan since 2006 and have traveled to London, Newcastle and Belfast among other to see them on more than one date on tours. I must have seen them about 30 times now, I lost count after 23 times I think! I've been lucky enough to meet the lads after every show which more often than not ends up in a drinking session and this time we ended up in an Irish bar called Finnegan's next door to The Liquid Rooms. As you can see I do love getting up close and personal at gigs ;) </span></span><br />

I had to try a piece of cake as they looked amazing. The cake was so rich and tasty but the generous size defeated me which is a first. I am never defeated by cake! We then went to Museum of Scotland to see the Mammoths of the Ice Age which was interesting to see. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First photo is a sperm whale</span></span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">skull which was huge.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love Valentine's Day because of all the heart shaped items that hit the shelves. I am obsessed! If something is heart shaped and cheap I'll most likely be taking it to the till. I came across so many heart shaped novelties this year and the other week I bought heart shaped champagne flutes, balloons, and sparklers. I used the sparklers in the cake I made for <strike>myself</strike> my boyfriend which had a big purple heart on it made out of sprinkles which we then ate off heart shaped plates with a heart print on them, bet you are starting to get the idea now! Along with cake we drank out of our champagne flutes. I had Vimto in mine and he had milk in his because obviously we are adults. He bought me this adorable bag which I have wanted for so long. Hope everyone enjoyed their valentine's day and got to spend it how you wanted :) </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had this dress bookmarked for a while so when it into sale I had to get it even though it didn't have a lot off it. I'm glad I did as I love the colour, shape and fit plus it has a collar so that ticks off all my dress boxes! These shoes are from last summer and the little silver heel is just enough to make them not completely flat but still have the same look</span></span>. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The headband is from Crown and Glory and when there was a sale on it was in the basket quicker than you could say...well anything really. I thought this would satisfy my flowery hair needs but now there's new styles being added and I want them in all the colours! </span></span><br />
