<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, where did October go?! It flew past so quickly and I can't believe we are now in November. I thought I would share with you some photos of what i've been up to during the last month as it involved a visit to a cute little vintage village, a halloween party and some homemade biscuits. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the beginning of the month, me and my partner decided to spend a spur-of-the-moment afternoon visiting a gorgeous little village in Wiltshire with our dog, Ralph. It was like stepping back in time with a vintage bakery, small village church and local shops. We stopped for a delicious afternoon tea in a tiny tea shop and spent a few hours taking in the glorious scenery, which Ralph thoroughly enjoyed! The following week, I put my baking head on and decided to bake some butter biscuits as we had some friends to stay. Now i'm not the best cook in the world but I decided to try out a recipe from my new cookbook and whip up a batch of biscuits which thankfully, went down a treat! Finally, to round up the month nicely, we were invited to a halloween/bonfire party with friends. I decided to dig out my cat ears from the previous year, draw on a couple of whiskers and away we go. It was a great evening with lovely food, halloween cakes, pumpkins, fireworks and sparklers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a great October, I'm really looking forward to what November will bring! My diary is looking very full with lots of fun things including birthday extravaganza's, christmas lights, more fireworks and a mad hatter's tea party...all of which I will be sure to share with you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would love for you to let me know what you've been up to during October?</div>

I have been a tad busy with uni work and unfortunately I just did not have the time to sit down and create some blog posts. However, i've settled down on a rainy afternoon, sipping a gingerbread latte..(thank you Starbucks!) and decided to embrace the festive season early by creating a christmas wish list.<br />

*Attention: to fully appreciate this post, snuggle up warm and grab a cuppa!*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span id="goog_1710210982"></span><span id="goog_1710210983"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's Tuesday which means it's time for Tuesday Thrills number three!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't actually been up to anything specific over the past week so I thought this was a great opportunity to start embracing Autumn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its become considerably colder over the last couple of weeks, misty mornings and dewy trees, so I think it's safe to say Autumn has made an appearance. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I personally love Autumn and here is a little list which sums up why:</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrWNbj4OEmvVzW7LmKv2znIoukOw1ByA2rRrbYCh2C7OoT13ZYJ7LqvU8sRptO049yv5PyWYoecOKv6TeXxTiNkjxYGblDBwDT75IF0pwsJ50WfyVDvO1WQCpRLL2Z_ydDt0ruGY76Q9pv/s1600/IMG_6775.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrWNbj4OEmvVzW7LmKv2znIoukOw1ByA2rRrbYCh2C7OoT13ZYJ7LqvU8sRptO049yv5PyWYoecOKv6TeXxTiNkjxYGblDBwDT75IF0pwsJ50WfyVDvO1WQCpRLL2Z_ydDt0ruGY76Q9pv/s640/IMG_6775.JPG" width="412" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Autumn is a great time to wrap up warm and also a great excuse to buy some new wardrobe goodies. It's a great season to embrace and to me it symbolises the start of the end of the year. I look forward to the spooks of halloween, the sparks of fireworks night, spending nights in with friends, open fires, hot chocolate and preparing for christmas goodness (which is definitely my favourite!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ahh it's going to be so good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivYuqlp-7xm_OZF9FFLVBAsnTkY1vk_I_57f5cTEv0RWv_R5uH-LZEKvFh3nUA5zbZOU_kX4PJw2_xjZUftvej3-EFW2hnA1RJ_4pj8dUwS4HQdtwj8uq37R9RHgoEgoMYdn4VZveDcFKC/s1600/IMG_2427.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivYuqlp-7xm_OZF9FFLVBAsnTkY1vk_I_57f5cTEv0RWv_R5uH-LZEKvFh3nUA5zbZOU_kX4PJw2_xjZUftvej3-EFW2hnA1RJ_4pj8dUwS4HQdtwj8uq37R9RHgoEgoMYdn4VZveDcFKC/s320/IMG_2427.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here's to a warm and cosy Autumn which I hope you all enjoy!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a huge lover of drug-stores and could easily pass away time testing make-up samples, trying on perfumes and browsing the shelves for the latest hair products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Earlier this week I took a visit to Boots and after scanning the beauty aisles, my basket soon started filling up with products and goodies which I just had to share with you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First in my basket was the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I have been hearing great reviews about this foundation and I love the idea that it can brighten up your skin making it more radiant and fresh looking (which is needed when your half-asleep in the mornings!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWI9ho2XrHIYEx9Fn9vbPYifcGATqB7crdBoLTAYy7ni2HSl8c0P_4vgdm2-7aZSLVggFl6o2z44HYTmHWRVrOIuiMZk_SmOX3IVBRJScmM8OUn5a7yH0YeoqP3qrU25CqZTlHRRemnt9r/s1600/IMG_9565.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWI9ho2XrHIYEx9Fn9vbPYifcGATqB7crdBoLTAYy7ni2HSl8c0P_4vgdm2-7aZSLVggFl6o2z44HYTmHWRVrOIuiMZk_SmOX3IVBRJScmM8OUn5a7yH0YeoqP3qrU25CqZTlHRRemnt9r/s400/IMG_9565.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have only used this product once so far but from what i've seen, I think this might just be a regular in my make-up bag. It is medium to light coverage, easy to apply and leaves a dewy finish to the skin. Perfect!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I picked up Hair Xpertise Argon Oil which I have been dying to try for a long time. I was drawn to using Argon Oil as it is formulated to replenish dry and damaged hair. I try to look after my hair as much as I can as it is prone to dryness and split-ends after years of hi-lights, so I decided to take the plunge and buy this product in hope that it can restore my battered locks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlJP-bsxFJm-oTTzqVbaoGNodo2QRbmoqGpc-Zc0e_pr-6mp10YVT_XVDYI3XZHooa2qG53TCntnKRfwnR5cansV1OIkkm0B_Il6uz4XnxUQ26A8zmFxDV1QdNV9pKTWcHhmpyAIw6oaKm/s1600/IMG_1100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlJP-bsxFJm-oTTzqVbaoGNodo2QRbmoqGpc-Zc0e_pr-6mp10YVT_XVDYI3XZHooa2qG53TCntnKRfwnR5cansV1OIkkm0B_Il6uz4XnxUQ26A8zmFxDV1QdNV9pKTWcHhmpyAIw6oaKm/s320/IMG_1100.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am also in the process of growing my hair and if your hair is anything like mine (barely grows an inch for months) then you'll probably share the same enthusiasm as me when you see this product; Lee Stafford Miracle Hair Growth Shampoo and Conditioner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_D6npQdPF9cHGcSohWpDxa-YGAZZHj3SVPJ__qzkGxBC-IfPTHP1N1WQu594Kna0dPPBFGTurPUehDSKijwjSpBeFs2SlvzaC_zByVe6FjeJLdCqhHBXJLBWlHt6MKXkMUKETKpy2gYle/s1600/IMG_4729.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_D6npQdPF9cHGcSohWpDxa-YGAZZHj3SVPJ__qzkGxBC-IfPTHP1N1WQu594Kna0dPPBFGTurPUehDSKijwjSpBeFs2SlvzaC_zByVe6FjeJLdCqhHBXJLBWlHt6MKXkMUKETKpy2gYle/s400/IMG_4729.jpg" width="301" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first purchased these products a couple of months ago and loved them! It didn't make my hair grow miraculously over night unfortunately, but the condition of my hair had certainly improved as it became more stronger and fuller in appearance. So I have decided to buy these beauties again to help restore the condition of my hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As it was a 3 for 2 offer on haircare in Boots. I couldn't only stop at 2 products, so I also purchased Lee Stafford Hair Growth Leave-in Treatment to work alongside the shampoo and conditioner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6-Aw19SnSeNu_4ourDOWzfEp-d6v4YCfrSJu9hmc9c8CpcNfYRhZ7hkRf6BSzPmweJdkW3QiBVn5kiuZUy1G8dYxTnCCUkcHuDVQqUVF4JuoINLqKG-344WqnIStnFoTTzjZH9Ar57lC2/s1600/IMG_0674.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6-Aw19SnSeNu_4ourDOWzfEp-d6v4YCfrSJu9hmc9c8CpcNfYRhZ7hkRf6BSzPmweJdkW3QiBVn5kiuZUy1G8dYxTnCCUkcHuDVQqUVF4JuoINLqKG-344WqnIStnFoTTzjZH9Ar57lC2/s320/IMG_0674.jpg" width="295" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This product is designed to be spayed onto the roots of your hair before drying which will go to work in restoring and stimulating hair growth throughout the day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm very excited to see if the Hair Growth collection will work it's magic and I shall let you know how I get on with the Lee Stafford range and the results I get in a couple of weeks time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhPHXtzo2z26-XB4WGI_R79dMzuYBhoT0ovarxuDwj0YdAUypwlpO_nRgwcCwT66Gkmuo2PTuD9Ht0okUqKxtYlk1P_ulOFuSEoyZso1jJGj0mYzewIWzi7jcqYOxN8pYlWTNYuwq0qSuM/s1600/IMG_4709-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhPHXtzo2z26-XB4WGI_R79dMzuYBhoT0ovarxuDwj0YdAUypwlpO_nRgwcCwT66Gkmuo2PTuD9Ht0okUqKxtYlk1P_ulOFuSEoyZso1jJGj0mYzewIWzi7jcqYOxN8pYlWTNYuwq0qSuM/s400/IMG_4709-1.jpg" width="318" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, I purchased Batise Dry Shampoo XXL. Dry shampoo is amazing but I find I can sometimes go a bit crazy when applying it to try and 'plump' up my hair, making it look cakey and powdery (not a good look). So when I saw this product I just had to give it a go. My hair is rather fine and this product is great for adding extra 'oomph' to the roots, either after washing it or day-old hair. It smells really fruity and you only need a quick spray of this product to get volume and freshness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So there we have it, my drug-store haul! I would love to know if you have used any of these products? What's your favourite drug-store buys?</div>

<br />
I was really pleased with the great response I got from my first 'Tuesday Thrills' post last week and thank you for all the good luck wishes and encouragement you sent me for starting university (my first week went really well and I think I may have even made a friend or two!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those who have no idea what 'Tuesday Thrills' is all about, its a post I created where every week I will be posting <span style="text-align: center;">about delightful, exciting or new things that have happened or will be happening in my life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I understand that it can be a little boring just reading about what i've been up to, so my aim is to try and pass some of these thrills onto you in anyway I can. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Sunday I ran a half-marathon for the first time in my life and I can safely say it was the hardest thing I have ever done! I am not and never have been a natural runner (the type who can put on a pair of trainers and run gracefully non-stop for 10 miles) so I was terrified as I was approaching the starting line thinking I had 13 miles to tackle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to run a half marathon to raise as much money as I could for The British Lung Foundation which is a foundation very close to mine and my family's hearts. Thank god for Beyonce and Rhianna blasting in my headphones as I think it would have been quite torturous without them and I certainly couldn't have reached the finish line without supporters cheering me on! Half way through the race I could have easily given up, my legs felt like jelly and I had no puff left in me but I kept going and...I did it!!!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The quote above is very true in whatever circumstances you seem fitting. Something which may seem like a huge mountain to tackle does have a finish line and with strength and determination you can get to the top! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you have something big happening in your life-maybe a new job, moving away or tackling exams, just keep going as after every milestone you pass, you are one step closer to where you want to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I admire anyone who has ever ran a race, raised money for charity or tackled something huge in their lives, it's a great achievement and it's certainly not the easiest thing to take on. But it shows great confidence and you should be very proud of yourselves :)</div>

Over the past couple of weeks I have invested in a couple of pairs of new shoes! Seeing as we have now crept into Autumn, I thought there is no better time to purchase some lovely new flats to keep my feet nice and warm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I live in flats and I love how easy, cute and effortless they look when added to any outfit, so I thoroughly enjoyed shopping for some new shoes to add to my ever-expanding collection.</div>

(Excuse the scuffs, I wear these ALOT!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first item were these gorgeous bunny face flats from ASOS. Now I have been craving a pair of Charlotte Olympia Cat shoes for ages, but with a price tag of £465 they will have to stay firmly on my wishlist. So when I found these similar cuties for £25, I had to 'proceed to checkout' im<span style="text-align: center;">mediately-especially when I saw them in two colours! I know they aren't entirely similar (to start with they have 'bunny' faces instead of 'cats') but they tick all the right boxes in my book. I have worn these almost daily and they add a great finishing touch to most outfits. I particularly love wearing mine with black tights, a skater dress and chunky cardigan.</span></div>

Unfortunately I can't find them on ASOS anymore, but they have a gorgeous pair in a 'panda' style <a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-LUCAS-Ballet-Flats/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2878053&cid=13685&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=-1&sort=-1&clr=Black%2fwhite" target="_blank">here.</a></div>

My next pair are these gorgeous red ballet pumps from Primark. I was instantly drawn to these as I love the vibrant colour and gold embellishment and couldn't resist a price tag of £6. I have yet to wear these but I plan on teaming them with a black dress, chunky necklace and red cardigan for a subtle colour match.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Primark are great for shoes and I can never resist buying a couple of pairs, so I treated myself to another set of ballet pumps. I get easily bored of always wearing black shoes so I wanted a pair of shoes which are subtle but add a little colour to an outfit. These berry coloured slipper pumps come in at £5 and caught my eye straight away. They are really comfy to wear whilst being lightweight on your feet and I love to team these with black skinny jeans or chunky tights for an on-trend autumn look. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
In my opinion, a girl can never have to many shoes so I'm sure I will be on the look-out for even more! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would love to know what you think of my new purchases. Are you planning on getting some new shoes for the Autumn season? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have decided to create a little weekly post called Tuesday Thrills! Every Tuesday I will be posting about delightful, exciting or new things that have happened or will be happening in my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I understand that it can be a little boring just reading about what i've been up to, so my aim is to try and pass some of these thrills onto you in anyway I can. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would kick-start my Tuesday Thrills off with a boost of friendly encouragement. Tomorrow I will be starting at a brand new university where I will be studying full-time for a whole year...and I don't know anyone. (gulp!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ask me a couple of months ago how I felt about this and I would have shouted from the rooftops with great excitement, but now I know I start tomorrow, it's a completely different story as i'm a tad nervous to say the least!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be training as a teacher and I am delving into the complete unknown. But instead of being scared to start this new chapter in my life, i've decided to hold on tight and jump straight in!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The quote above seems very fitting and i've read, re-read and read it some more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't be afraid to take the first step into something unknown-a new school, new job, even a new relationship-because if you don't give it ago, you will never know what is waiting for you on the other side. It could be a great sense of achievement, an overwhelming feeling of happiness, maybe even a new friend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You never know unless you try, and that is the motto I will be sticking with when I wake up tomorrow morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if anyone else is stepping into the unknown, go for it! It may just be the opportunity you have been waiting for.</div>

I have seen a lot of these 'what's in my handbag' tags and posts floating around the blogsphere and I love reading them as I find they always give me great ideas for handy extra's to pack in my bag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am due to start University again soon so I thought I would add a slight twist and do a 'student handbag' edition. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was on the look-out for an oversized day bag which could carry all my essentials including books, A4 files and lunch! This tanned, animal lined tote bag from <a href="http://uk.accessorize.com/view/product/uk_catalog/acc_1,acc_1.1/4892052200" target="_blank">Accessorize</a> is the perfect size, it has an adjustable shoulder strap, removable pocket and will more-or-less go with any outfit choice (Hurrah!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what do I pack in there? Let's have a little look...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From left to right:</div>
<br />
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Hand Sanitiser: </b>To keep those pesky germs at bay!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Floral Patchwork Diary:</b> Perfect for writing down all those important assignment dates and coursework deadlines.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Cat Purse:</b> I use this cutie as my coin purse, it's easy to whip out when you want to buy a drink or grab a chocolate fix from the cafeteria.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Glasses:</b> Need these to read, write and see...</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Lipsticks:</b> I always pack a couple of lipsticks to have as handy top-up's to apply throughout the day.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Pencil Case:</b> Carries all the essentials I will be needing in lectures. This pencil case is the perfect size, not to big but holds everything; calculator, pencils, pens, hi-lighters, ruler, rubber, pencil sharpener, coloured pens etc.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Red Heart Retro Purse: </b>This is my main purse and holds all my cards, notes and of course my student i.d...great for getting discount on lots of goodies.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Pink Polka Dot Flask:</b> Unfortunately the polka-dots are too small to be seen in this photo but this little flask is from New Look and is great to keep topped up for when all that learning gets thirsty work! </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Sunglasses:</b> You never know when the sun might shine for 5 minutes in the UK.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Chew Bar: </b>I have a very sweet tooth and this little chew bar is great for a late-afternoon treat *note to self-must also pack fruit!*</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also pack my A4 file, paper pad and course text-books and the great thing about this handbag is that I can fit all of this in without having to carry anything around (so I have a spare pair of hands to open doors!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me know if you have done a 'what's in my handbag' post, I would love to see!</div>

I would probably come under the 'combination skin' category-I don't tend to suffer from dryness however, my skin likes to be cruel sometimes and decides to get oily and breakout over night! *sigh*<br />
<br />
<br />
So over the past couple of months I purchased three face products which I have tried and tested numerous amount of times. If your anything like me and have probably spent ALOT of pennies on products which just haven't worked, this review is aimed to help you out!<br />

What does it claim to do? Cleanses deep down into pores and conditions skin, leaving it soft, smooth and healthy looking.<br />
<br />
How did it perform? I was really drawn to this product as it was specifically designed for breakouts and I loved the idea of having a wash and mask all in one. When applied as a mask, it has a very thick consistency and leaves a fresh, tingly feeling after you have washed it off. However, I found that it dried my skin out after a couple of weeks. I could have been using this product a little too much (I was applying it as a mask once a week-sometimes twice) but from someone who doesn't normally have dry skin, I did inherit dry patches quite quickly.<br />
<br />
Final Verdict: I was disapointed that I did not get on with this product but then again, it might work better for someone with a different skin-type.<br />

<br />
What does it claim to do? Remove excess oil and impurities and moisturises skin leaving it feeling soft, supple and revived.<br />
<br />
How did it perform? This was a lovely mild mask which left my skin feeling clean and ready for make-up. It is a great 'pick-me-up' product and would be a great purchase for anyone with 'normal' skin who just needs a boost. Yet it wasn't quite strong enough for my skin and I didn't see great changes in reducing blemishes.<br />
<br />
Final Verdict: This product is great for minimising pores and very gentle on your skin. Unfortunately, it was too mild for my skin and didn't help reduce any blemishes.<br />
<br />

A 3-in-1 concentrated, deep-purifying formula with a natural blend of revitalising aromatic essential oils for an all round FAB PORE complexion.<br />
<br />
How did it perform? This product has been amazing at clearing up any blemishes and helping my skin look even and moisturised (horray!). It comes with a handy muslin cloth, has a lightweight consistency, doesn't dry out your skin and melts away make-up-which after a long day of make-up wearing, feels very refreshing! I am newbie to using muslin cloths so I don't have a huge amount of experience to go by, but it is handy in wiping away dirt and oil and rough enough to add a touch of exfoliation.<br />
<br />
Final Verdict: I love this product! My skin has really improved since using this cleanser and apart from the odd blemish here and there, my skin has cleared up completely. I will certainly be investing in another tube when mine run's out.<br />
<br />
I'd love to know if anyone else has tried any of these products. Do you have a favourite skin product that you love?<br />

<br />
I have been admiring these lipsticks for a while so decided to delve in and purchase one of these goodies as i've been hearing and reading great reviews about the Kate Moss collection. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was particularly drawn to the Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte collection as I love the creaminess of matte lipsticks. Now, I know matte lipsticks can be a bit hit and miss as they can emphasise dryness along with imperfections, but these products do the opposite! They are super soft with a velvet feel, highly pigmented and once applied, leave a fresh clean finish. Perfect!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizHLoiUme2WDtBT2PCuMoRbolBJo7yRWsldeXE2jiM6H9NTV7V8nH2-lHQzHG1kX4qWop1HeafLUyu_62FuhiRhS-5i84nfCcePjB7wdvEYTl5yDlacyjDWzINgbBDEocL8HUnb-ulg5qD/s1600/IMG_1374.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizHLoiUme2WDtBT2PCuMoRbolBJo7yRWsldeXE2jiM6H9NTV7V8nH2-lHQzHG1kX4qWop1HeafLUyu_62FuhiRhS-5i84nfCcePjB7wdvEYTl5yDlacyjDWzINgbBDEocL8HUnb-ulg5qD/s400/IMG_1374.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to purchase the beautiful 107 shade and i'm so pleased I put this little gem in my basket. It is a deep cherry red which leaves your lips looking bold and eye-catching. I admit, I was a tad weary about wearing such a rich shade, but I really do love it. It adds a touch of glam to your make-up, compliments a fair skin tone and is a perfect colour for AW13.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETUi4c7Sdo_CNCljsK_jMDLoMCTVpNZ3f3uFOrhaOvcztUVIR2d4fcJ8F7R-zNM3IFR0U_x3EeQWHPjxps-4aUsgNsyqae4CKejTvaOYaUE3ocpq3Bb0_sB8_oM72c97oGBMZF1I_DbLQ/s1600/IMG_5481.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETUi4c7Sdo_CNCljsK_jMDLoMCTVpNZ3f3uFOrhaOvcztUVIR2d4fcJ8F7R-zNM3IFR0U_x3EeQWHPjxps-4aUsgNsyqae4CKejTvaOYaUE3ocpq3Bb0_sB8_oM72c97oGBMZF1I_DbLQ/s320/IMG_5481.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The swatch above is a true match when applied to your lips and leaves an opaque finish in just one swipe. It has a lightweight feel so it doesn't leave your lips feeling sticky and includes Ruby Powder which works to maximise colour intensity.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would recommend using a lip pencil when wearing this shade as it can be a little smudgy during application, but all in all I am very pleased I took the plunge and added this shade to my ever-expanding lipstick collection. It smells fruity (a mixture of berries and watermelon-yum!) and it lasts a good four hours before having to re-apply. If your a newbie to trying out rich dark lip shades, then I would make this beauty your first red-lipstick purchase, with a price tag of £5.49, you can treat yourself without feeling too bad for your purse.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the moment I just can't get enough of the colour berry and i've been crushing on anything and everything in this wonderful shade. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As autumn is vast approaching, the new Autumn/Winter fashion lines are being released and I have a feeling this vibrant colour will be right on trend this season. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong, I have been loving the bright colours of summer; give me mint and coral shades any day, but I am actually quite excited to start investing in some warm autumn colours (we're now in September after all).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first item on my berry-crush list has to be this beautiful <a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/bags-accessories-1702216/bags-purses-462/edge-paint-satchel-2087854?bi=1&ps=200&siteID=a506MFlnxAg-w59PkLwOtNJ8_WPEMd5waw&cmpid=ukls_deeplink&_$ja=tsid:19906%7Cprd:a506MFlnxAg" target="_blank">Topshop</a> Berry Edge Paint Satchel. As soon as I layed eyes on this little beauty, I just had to have it, so it's definitely going in my shopping basket!</div>

Next on my list are a pair of these gorgeous slipper shoes from <a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-LADBROKE-Slipper-Shoes/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3003516" target="_blank">ASOS</a>, which are a bargain for £22! I think they would look lovely teamed with a pair of thick black tights-perfect for Autumn! </div>

A tartan skirt has been high on my wish-list since forever! Unfortunately I didn't manage to find a design which suited me last year; either to long (i'm a tad short at 5"1) or the wrong shape, but my prayers were answered when I discovered this <a href="http://www.missselfridge.com/en/msuk/product/skirts-299062/view-all-299168/magenta-tartan-skirt-2219042?bi=1&ps=40" target="_blank">Miss Selfridge</a> Magenta Skirt. </div>

Although the colour isn't a typical berry shade, it's close enough for me! This would look lovely with a white knitted jumper and black patent shoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Channelling my love for nail polishes, I added another Barry M nail paint to my ever expanding collection. For only £2.99, I can't get enough of these little gem's and seeing as i'm going through a berry-trend at the moment, this Raspberry colour fitted the bill perfectly!</div>

So there you have it, my new favourite colour at the moment and my top picks. The great thing about the colour berry is how it comes in a variety of different shades. Team this colour with light greys, creams, bottle greens and white for an on-trend look!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think of my fashion finds and what colour will you be crushing on this autumn?</div>

The other day something quite misfortunate happened, which involved my poor pair of glasses getting chewed up and thrown about my cheeky Bichon Frise, Ralph!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After some stern words and attempting to fix them myself (whilst trying not to think of the damage this will probably make to my purse) I decided to take a trip to my local Specsavers, hoping they could save the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seeing as I'm quite partial to a bit of spectacle wearing and i've had my old glasses for a couple of years now, I was secretly pleased that I had the chance to browse the displays and have a go at trying some new frames on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I do love the 'geek-chic' look and a pair of retro-framed specs teamed with a pretty blouse and chunky cardigan will always make me go weak at the knees. But unfortunately a pair of oversized, thick-framed glasses, just does not suit me (insert sad face here). However, in keeping with my passion for geek-fashion, I indulged in a fancy new pair of geek-chic specs but just a slightly smaller version. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are called AYANNA and come in at £45 at Specsavers, which I feel is a bargain for a pair of good-quality glasses, that I won't necessarily be wearing everyday. Although the design is very similar to my previous ones, this time I opted for a different colour; a rich, claret red. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJMHqZpnoKR4PlVvpwvwrAv_NVeBhnSxl2deEHhHa2ch2DG-rLlTVoE9bqHX9cPSyrv-xF2I5LZ6zZvaZW6MwgeH8yDbc_izFy-wu8nUQGQcGsuUnw97sRKUeJgI45VgcYdMha4QsUKUSg/s1600/IMG_0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJMHqZpnoKR4PlVvpwvwrAv_NVeBhnSxl2deEHhHa2ch2DG-rLlTVoE9bqHX9cPSyrv-xF2I5LZ6zZvaZW6MwgeH8yDbc_izFy-wu8nUQGQcGsuUnw97sRKUeJgI45VgcYdMha4QsUKUSg/s400/IMG_0003.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This colour is great for complimenting blue, green or hazel coloured eyes as the frame has bluish undertones. They are also a subtle shade of red, so they won't clash with any bright colours you choose to wear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can now relax as I have a fresh new pair of glasses, which I can safely say are securely placed in their new case and out of reach from my cheeky little pup! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

What are your thoughts on geek-chic glasses and how would you style these statement frames?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As September has arrived, I will officially become a student again, but this time, at a different university (gulp!). So, I've been on the hunt to find some new wardrobe items which are casual but a tad dressy, as I would love to look and feel my best for the new start in my life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply loved this dress the moment I saw it appear on ASOS and I thought it was a perfect find to share with you. Firstly, it is a simple, long sleeved, black dress but with an added vintage flare! Secondly, it is designed by Pop Boutique whose clothing I love, as they stock great vintage style items and cute peter-pan collar dresses. *swoon* <br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before long, my days will involve either attending lectures or completing placements and this dress is perfect for both! The material is stretchy so it is comfortable to wear whilst keeping busy, the design is casual yet smart and the long sleeves can help to keep you warm and toasty in these (soon to be) autumn months. </div>

Now, speaking of sleeves, this dress has cute lace cuffs with a small button attached to each one. I personally love them but the great thing about this design, is that the cuffs are easy to fold away under the fabric if you feel they look a bit too much or just fancy toning the lace down slightly. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before I attempt posting about anything fashion/beauty related, I thought it would be a fitting start to introduce my Bichon-Frise Ralph, as i'm sure he will be making quite a few appearances on this blog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is my one-year-old little shadow and if I had to describe him in only three words, they would be cheeky, charming and loving.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3lR0WWYawfu1K8HCAJNmyKhlouIX5_p-fKQhOIwUsTXZuqeuc-RGCdcDl5CLEuxbGJtWAjnFQNSjZlZtaGJ_Bvnc6mny7NVapuYDP3DJkEtaQmQC6tMnSXutiDCFGRurleK-j16aNtxSN/s1600/IMG_6687.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3lR0WWYawfu1K8HCAJNmyKhlouIX5_p-fKQhOIwUsTXZuqeuc-RGCdcDl5CLEuxbGJtWAjnFQNSjZlZtaGJ_Bvnc6mny7NVapuYDP3DJkEtaQmQC6tMnSXutiDCFGRurleK-j16aNtxSN/s320/IMG_6687.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong, he is constantly pinching items from my make-up bag and chewing things he shouldn't *thinks back to a pink blusher related incident resulting in Ralph having very rosy cheeks* but he has a huge amount of love to give. He loves nothing more than having a cuddle on the sofa or running around like crazy and no matter where about's in the house you are, he will always be at your feet, following your every move.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If anyone reading this has the pleasure of being a proud owner of this breed, you will know how sweet-natured and loving these little dogs can be. They are incredibly playful and very cheerful and because of their size, can more or less travel with you anywhere you go. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Apologies in advance for being a very 'snap-happy' dog owner, but I can't help but take handfuls of pictures of Ralph. <span style="text-align: center;">He is my fluffiest and most enthusiastic companion, he keeps me entertained and smiling on a daily basis and I hope he can bring a smile to your face too.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">I have been waiting to start my own blog, for what feels like a lifetime. After spending countless evenings and rainy afternoons reading blogs I so greatly admire, I've decided to take the plunge and go for it, which I couldn't be more excited about!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I'm not sure if I will have anything remarkable to say or if anyone will actually read what I post, but I love the idea that I have some space in this huge internet world to try and be creative. I love that by having this blog, I can diarise all my favourite things, from daily goings-on to posting about my recent fashion finds which are rarely seen by anyone and let's face it, are normally kept hanging inside my wardrobe! I feel like there is no better place to showcase them than here.</span></div>
