<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope everyone is well! Some of you may be expecting this to be my post about my January Glossybox. My beauty box post technically won't exist this month because I was actually so disappointed with my box this month I didn't want to review the products. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll actually start off with a just overview of my box before I crack on with the rest of this post.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">January's theme was 'Back to Basics' and as much as I love the idea, the contents were pretty basic and didn't excite me in as much as I hoped. Inside my box was:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| <b>YU-BE | </b>Moisturising Skin Cream |<i> £13.50 for 33g |</i></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| <b>BALANCE ME | </b>Super Toning Body Wash | £10.25 for 250ml |</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| <b>THE VINTAGE COSMETIC COMPANY | </b>Floral Slanted Tweezers | <i>£8 each |</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">|<b> ANATOMICALS | </b>Puffy The Eye Bag Slayer Wake-Up Under Eye Patches | <i>£6 for pack of 3 |</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| <b>BEAUTYUK | </b>CC Cream, Shade 10, Natu</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ral | <i>£4.99 for 25ml |</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My favourite product was the tweezers, I've been meaning to buy a new pair for a while when I saw them inside my box I was overjoyed. The pattern is adorable and they're definitely essential for your make up bag. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was looking forward to using the under eye patched because I have fairly noticeable bags and my under eye areas can get a little dark sometimes. Since I don't sleep for as long, or even as often as I should do, I thought maybe they were the answers to my prayers. I didn't notice a difference at all. My eyes felt a little more refreshed after using, but not any more than they usually do after being awake and cleansing my face. I left them on for half an hour and I feel like nothing happened at all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's a before, after and during. I tried to take photos in the same positions to ensure a more accurate comparison. But I've noticed the lighting in the photos are different and it looks like the dark circles and bags have been reduced, but in reality, my eyes looks exactly the same after as they did before.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfmg2LYgTpeqC8oDM90H08w-KdvBXSLyLIST_p5hV3ddGgTiTry0rToDM2Ir3zzSMuHJ81leqRSqDv1muGU-k-r82wokanCIb0P7VgEBMeywlCBn6yoKWSy4UKGu6cygneIyGYLna8TFPF/s1600/ohgod.png" width="400" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The rest was just underwhelming for me, I wasn't actually intended to receive the CC Cream at all. My little product card and the online surveys I can take all mention the Montagne Jeunesse Passion Peel off Masque & Blemish Mud Masque, which I will actually purchase soon to try.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The CC Cream is the lightest colour available yet is still too dark for my skin after blending. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The box has had a make over, also. The box itself seems more sure of itself but I feel Glossybox took more time re-designing their packaging than focusing on the products this month. I'm just so grateful I got this box using my glossydots and didn't have to waste my money on something I feel so negative towards. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't help but feel like all I've done is complain, let's hope next month's box is better.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, onward with the rest of the post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been listening to Taylor Swift since I was about twelve. I remember first seeing the Love Story video on one of music channels on television and instantly became hooked. I bought her album Fearless and would listen to nothing but that on repeat. Like most girls back in 2008, my ringtone was Teardrops on My Guitar and her lyrics were plastered over my bebo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So over a week ago, at about eight in the evening on Monday the 3rd of January, when my friend Jess told me she had a spare ticket to Taylor's show I jumped at the opportunity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Within half an hour I had my travel booked and everything printed out. Just over twelve hours later I was on my way to London, literally squealing to myself with excitement.</span><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Jess and I in front of the stage.</i></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been to a fair few gigs in my life but oh my, this show was out of this world. Our seats were on the floor about eight rows from the stage. Having been my first Taylor Swift show I had absolutely no idea what to expect. Taylor's outfits were incredible and I was so envious that I was not in possession of any of them. She both looked and sounded absolutely flawless. The night was so perfect. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>One of my favourite outfits of the night.</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The set and how awesome it was is literally indescribable, there were ballet dancers, whose costumes were so spectacular. Taylor was carried through the crowd to a second stage and from there she was flown over the crowd. Confetti fell at multiple occasions and sparks flew. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Videos were shown, of her journey to where she is now and other things, obviously to keep the audience entertained when she was getting changed. But it's just amazing to observe how far someone has come when they love what they do, it just shows that hard work can pay off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also had a special guest, Danny O'Donoghue from The Script. Who came onstage with Taylor and they sang 'Breakeven.' </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taylor spent a lot of time thanking the crowd for everything they've done and it looked like she really really meant it. Just seeing how much fun she was having onstage helped the crowd's energy as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am so gutted there were only five dates in London on this leg of the tour and that I only attended one. I honestly recommend to go to a show if you can. I was constantly entertained and had the time of my life.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jess also attended the two shows before the one I went to and bought the top I'm wearing, she let me wear it and I fell in love instantly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Right, I think I may have remembered everything I wanted to cram into this post. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm still working on my time keeping and regular posting haha.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Are any of you fans of Taylor Swift? </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you been to one of her shows?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did you receive January's Glossybox and what did you think?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've recently been shopping and picked up a few new things for my make up bag.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This will actually be my first ever kabuki brush and I only use it to apply my powder. I love The Body Shop brushes and instantly had high expectations for this one. I wasn't let down at all. The bristles are super soft and feel great against my skin. I actually bought this originally with my bronzer in mind but found much better use for it. The powder brush I had before was certainly a lot smaller and often gave the effect that I had caked it on. I find this brush gives my powder an even distribution and helps my skin look as natural as possible with minimal effort. The brush is only a few inches tall and whilst it looks fairly hefty can fit into a make up bag or hand bag with ease. As much as I love this brush, I don't believe it's worth the price and I would definitely suggest picking it up in a sale. It's a fantastic brush, I'm just sure there are far better alternatives out there.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I popped into Space.NK with the intention of trying out the Sheer Glow foundation, when I discovered this one. My skin can get a little oily sometimes and I decided trying to mask it with a matte finish rather than draw attention to it with a glow would be the better option for me. I don't understand why I haven't bothered to purchase this foundation sooner. I was a little put off by how sheer it is but I sooner realised that isn't a bad thing. The coverage is light/medium, but buildable and still looks natural after using a fair bit. I love how easy to blend this foundation is and how close to my actual skin tone the shade is. I would definitely suggest buying the pump (it's about £3) to go with this as getting the liquid from the bottle may be a tad difficult without one. This foundation would be perfect for an </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">everyday</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 'no make up' make up look. It's breathable and so light on the skin, I sometimes forget I even have any on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They certainly weren't lying when they decided to call this concealer 'creamy.' The texture is so rich, creamy and applies with ease. The coverage is medium to high, depending how much you apply and is definitely buildable. This concealer has been the easiest concealer I've ever tried, when it comes to blending. It takes minimal effort and the results are still amazing. I find it perfect for my dark under eye circles and any other blemishes I may have. The price is a little steep, but I love the finish it gives and how it makes my skin look and feel so I really don't mind at all. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Out of everything in this post, this is my absolute favourite. Contouring has become a huge thing recently and I've been attempting to master it. Whilst still not there, this powder has been a huge help. It's a fairly unique colour, brown, with undertones of grey and red to help simulate the colour of the natural shadowing that occurs on the face. My skin is awfully fair and I was so worried this colour would look so ridiculous on me, but this colour is perfect for people with fair to medium toned skin. This powder actually leaves a better finish than any bronzing powders used whilst contouring due to the fact it is such a similar colour to the natural shadowing on your face. The powder is soft and silky and only a minimal amount is needed, otherwise it can look too dramatic. It blends really well, so you don't look like you've just drawn a brown line on your face. In my opinion, this powder is expensive, but because you only need a tiny amount, it will last for a really long time, so it's definitely worth the money. I would recommend finding a stockist and getting an artist to help you apply it, to see what results you can create with this powder.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to try this powder because I'm constantly running out of powder and wanted one to last me a fairly long time. I usually buy a pressed powder and even though I find them more messy, I opted for a loose powder this time. With very few colour options I went for the translucent one. I've found I can never really find a powder that is the perfect shade for me. I was impressed with this product. It's soft and silky to touch and feels so light once applied to your face. I've found it gives me great shine control and keeps my skin smooth and matte. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I suggest discarding the little sponge that comes with the powder because it can often make it look like you've put too much on. I apply this with the kabuki brush I mentioned earlier in this post and it gives me a light, consistent, natural coverage.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas or alternative. I certainly did! My Christmas wasn't exactly jam packed with excitement but getting the time to spend time with my family was enough for me. I got a few presents, which I love and I'm grateful for having such generous family and friends. The best part was most definitely the roast dinner my dad cooked for us all. OH I don't think I've ever eaten so much in my entire life. My dad sure does know his way around a kitchen. It was perfect, then we all sat around to watch Toy Story 3. My older brother and family then left and the rest of the evening was so lazy it's unreal, but it's nice to relax and have a glass of wine and finish your book. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ANYWAY, I digress.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Secondly, I'm aware I'm stupidly stupidly late with this post. I've noticed many other people have uploaded similar posts to this weeks ago. I've just been so preoccupied with other things I actually haven't been able to get down to my nearest Lush store. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was actually finishing my Christmas shopping with my dad, last week when I dragged him inside the store because I've been meaning to indulge.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn't go crazy, mind. I picked up a few of my favourite products at this time of year. (They're all so delicious smelling I can't handle it.)</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I adore Snow Fairy, genuinely, the only things wrong with this product is the fact it's limited edition and not at all edible. I'm actually kicking myself that I only bought the 250g bottle. I'm definitely going to have to purchase some online if it's still up. Stock up for the rest of the year. This shower gel is so incredibly sweet, both you and your bathroom will end up smelling like sweets for hours. Not that that's a bad thing at all. It's one of the things that actually makes me love this product so much. The scent isn't overpowering after you've used it, it's noticeable and lingers for a while, compared to other products I've used. It's a bubblegummy, candyflossy, pear droppy, sweet shoppy smell and I love it. The texture of the gel is thick and creamy and only a small amount is needed for it to lather rather nicely. If you're not a fan of sweet scented things, I would definitely stay as far away as possible from this product. It even has a hint of sparkle. What more can you want at this time of year?</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This little snowman is adorable. He has a lovely vanilla scent to him and he turns your bath water a pinky colour when you use him. The main ingredient in making him is cocoa butter and he's incredibly moisturising. I find myself getting out of the bath with lovely soft skin. The scent doesn't linger for too long on your skin after you've used it but it does give an enjoyable bath time, full of flavour. The photos of this snowman on the website are a little misleading because the products are handmade and aren't going to look perfect, but he's definitely still super cute. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT BATH MELT</b></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>£3.30 for 40g</i></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one of my favourite products I bought the other day. It's COVERED in glitter and when you pick it up will get all over your fingers. Since it's a bath melt, I suggest not to hold it for too long otherwise it'll start to melt a little in your hand. I love using this little star, it turns the bath water a lovely aqua blue colour and the glitter makes my bath time feel so magical. It's a quite refreshing smell, of limes and ginger, which always makes me feel fresh after I've used it. It's extremely rich and creamy in moisture and I've definitely noticed how amazing my skin feels after using it. Some glitter sticks around after using it, so I'd take a minute or so to properly clean your bath. I've found the scent stays on my skins for a while, which I love. I find myself constantly sniffing my skin because I smell so good.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>MAGIC WAND BUBBLE BAR</b></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>£4.95 each</i></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I loooovee this so much. It's a solid version of Snow Fairy, the shower gel. Besides the smell, the best thing about this bubble bar is that it's reusable. I think I've managed to get about five to six baths out of this before, but it depends how sparingly you use it. It comes on a stick, which in my opinion, isn't strong enough to support the weight of the head. You swish it about in you bath and it turns the water a lovely light pink colour. It just smells so heavenly. I find the smell it leaves on your skin and in your bathroom lasts so much longer than any of the products I've bought recently. As fun as swishing the wand in your bath is, to get the optimum use out of this, I would suggest running it under the tap.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>£2.95 each</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This little penguin shares the same problem as the little snowman, the photos on the website are misleading and the product itself isn't as perfect as you'd like it to be. I'm pretty sure I've lost this little guy's nose somewhere and I feel awful about it. Obviously the appearance doesn't really matter since you're popping them in the bath anyway. He has a lovely citrusy, almost menthol smell to him, extremely refreshing. When you've crumbled this bar under running water, your bath will turn a lovely pale blue colour and a load of bubbles will form. This bubble bar leaved my skin feeling soft and hydrated. I've found the scent doesn't linger for too long after use. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had so much fun writing my <a href="http://carrielouisee.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/glossybox-november-2013.html" target="_blank">post</a> about last month's Glossybox that I decided to make it a regular thing on my blog. I have a rolling monthly subscription to Glossybox and it's always so exciting when it arrives each month. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each month is themed and this month was 'Festive Treasures.'</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everything about the presentation of the box was so festive and it got me so excited about the festive season. Even down to the candy canes on the wrapper, you have to admire their attention to detail to make this box as perfect as they can.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The products inside, on the other hand I was severely disappointed with.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the past few months I suppose I've been expecting too much from my Glossybox and they've been rather average. I was completely in love with last month's box and had extremely high expectations for December's. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think my problem was that there wasn't enough glamour in the box. I wasn't expecting tonnes and tonnes of glitter-covered, gold coloured items, but not a single item put me in the party mood, which being the last box of the year and in a way an early christmas present was what I was expecting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've explained before why I dislike receiving nail related products in my glossyboxes. I've actually had a Seche polish before in a previous box and</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> never used it, except when I first tried it after opening my box. Despite not wearing it for any longer than a day, I was completely impressed with how rich in colour and glossy these polishes are. I dislike the colour I got given this month, it puts me in a rather autumnal mood rather than festive one. It's actually a milk chocolately brown colour when applied and I just didn't like it at all. In my opinion, it's far too dark for this season and rather gloomy. Besides the colour, I'm not too bothered about this product since I never wear nail varnish, anyway.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not the biggest fan of lip glosses, I find they can be overly sticky and especially in this weather we're having at the moment, as soon as the slightest bit of wind comes along, I no longer have lips and find myself eating my hair. I was surprised when I tried this lip gloss, it's rich in jojoba oil which keeps your lips moisturised, I find that extremely important at this time of year. I was actually a little surprised when I found out the brand, Beautiful Movements was co-founded by Kimberly Wyatt, from the Pussycat Dolls. The entire brand is cruelty free and the products are free from harsh chemicals and fragrances, meaning it is suitable for all skin types and is actually beneficial to the skin. I expect we'll be seeing and hearing a lot more from Beautiful Movements in the future! The colour of the lipgloss itself is similar to my actual lip colour, but a tad more corally, so it's perfect for an effortless natural make up look.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was sent a sample size of 4ml, which will easily fit in a pocket, or clutch bag for a night out. I will definitely keep using this product.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just lovelovelove hand creams and balms. I find myself actually getting jealous of people with incredibly soft and healthy hands and I'm pretty sure I'll try almost anything to try and get mine the same. I adore this product so much it's unreal. I've actually worked it into my daily routine and have found that it works best for me when applied before bed, to allow the moisture to sink in properly. It's incredibly rich in texture and I've found a little goes an extremely long way. It smells amazing!! It can be a little over-powering some times but the white lotus and ginkgo biloba leaves a fresh floral scent to your hands. The ingredients include Glycerine, which is the main help in leaving your hands soft and provides the nourishment needed to repair dry, rough hands. The packaging is lovely and I would definitely recommend this balm with dry or rough hands.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really did not like this product at all. First of all, I was send the colour 'dark brown' which is a completely different colour to my selection in my beauty profile; so the mascara was far too dark for me to start with. I feel like this mascara is more suited for those with naturally full eyebrows as it adds a little more definition but can draw attention to gaps already in the brows. I found that it is easy to accidentally apply to much, leaving your brows looking and feeling fairly hard and in a way, stale. I also feel the wand is completely the wrong shape, making it difficult to apply to the thinner end of the brow without smudging it either side of the hair. I really did not get along with this product at all, but I would recommend it if you feel you can benefit from extra enhancement of your eyebrows. Even if you decide to purchase it to try it, it's more affordable than the higher end alternatives available. I definitely suggest testing the colour out before you purchase it. I don't think I'll go out and buy the right colour for me, I rely on filling in my eyebrows far too much since they're not as full as I'd like them to be.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>WILKINSON SWORD INTUITION | </b>Naturals Razor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>£6.49.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I opened my glossybox and this was the first thing that caught my eye. I thought it was extremely weird to be given a razor but I'm so glad that I was. Nothing feels better than having freshly shaved legs and fresh bedding. I usually opt for the cheapest pack of disposable razors the shop has and often find myself trying to shave my legs in the shower in as little time as possible, leaving myself with battle wounds all over my legs. This razor is actually perfect. I haven't cut myself using it once (yet.) Surrounding the blades is a conditioning solid, meaning you don't need shaving cream or any alternative. All you have to do is ensure the solid is wet and shave away. It turns creamy when water is applied and moisturises as you shave. I actually felt really glamorous after using it for the first time. It comes with a cover for the top of the razor, so you don't get the conditioning solid everywhere after using it and it also comes with a holder which can be attached to the wall, or wherever you want to store the razor. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's refillable so once your conditioning solid had bitten the dust you can just replace it with a new one. I wasn't given any refills, but I've just looked online and you can get a pack of three for about £7. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I definitely recommend checking it out, I have a feeling it's changed my way of shaving from now on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It actually pains me a little to write a bad review of a product. I really dislike it when something doesn't meet my expectations, or I don't get along with it at all. All these opinions are my own and obviously not everything will suit everyone, especially with things like beauty boxes, where you don't actually know what you're going to get. It's all part of the fun, though. I love trying new products and brands and I don't think I would be using half the things I do now if it wasn't for beauty boxes and other people's reviews. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Are you subscribed to a beauty box like Glossybox or any other alternative?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 'Tis not only the season to be jolly, but also the season to be toasty and warm. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you think of winter; images of hot water bottles and marshmallows being roasted on a fire may pop into your head, or maybe you remember the constant lingering smell of cinnamon and gingerbread. Starbucks has brought back the festive red cups and nearly everyone and their dog has seen the coke advert, which means festivities have officially begun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, here is a few things that have become essential to me since the temperature changed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>NAVY BLUE PARKA </b></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Look, £49.99 </i></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is by far one of my most favourite purchases for quite a while. I've not actually worn a coat for some years now, must have gone through a coat hating phase. Bad weather, or freezing temperatures would arrive and I'd throw on one of my hollister hoodies (admittedly, so warm and cosy, I never needed a coat.) I had my eye on an lovely coat from Topshop when I came across this one. After trying it on and falling instantly in love with the colour and fit, I had to buy it. I have never been so warm in my entire life. The only thing I'm disappointed with is the fact the hood is HUGE. When worn fully, it goes down past my eyes, making it difficult to see. But I love the fur trimming around the hood and how flattering a larger hood does make you look. It comes in two other colours, beige and khaki, but I feel navy co-ordinates with more of the clothing I own. I definitely recommend this parka to anyone looking for a coat of that style. Considering the other coat I wanted from Topshop was twice the price, I don't think I've done too badly.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My photos do not do the coat justice, I would definitely suggest checking it out on the New Look website.</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>New Look,£7.99 </i></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've never worn a snood before I bought this </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and had absolutely no idea how to wear it, </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm still a little iffy about whether I'm wrapping </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">it correctly but I'll get there eventually. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">bought this on a whim, because the colour </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">stood out to me. A few months back, I bought </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a bag</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> of similar, if not the same colour. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since it's my favourite bag and I'm always </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in need of a good scarf, or snood in this case, </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I indulged. There are so many other colours and </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">designs as well as this one, but this one was </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SCREAMING at me to purchase it. (That, and </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">my local store isn't the best.) The only down side </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is that I often end up with stray fibers in my </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">mouth of eye, which isn't the most pleasant thing </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to experience.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even in the winter you'll end up finding me in a skirt or a dress. I don't know what it is but I really don't like wearing trousers. Black tights are like my saviour, and the thicker, the better. Which is why I adore these tights so much. They're near enough opaque, which I find looks better than the stretched, faded and easy to damage of the lower deniers. That's not even the best part. They're fleece lined! I've not owned a pair of tights like these before and believe me, I completely regret all those fleece-less years. These tights are so comfortable it's unreal, especially after you've shaved your legs. Not only do I never want to take them off, but they're so warm. Obviously wearing a dress or a skirt, or even shorts in winter when it may possibly snow is a dangerous decision, but while wearing these tights, my legs haven't been cold once. Even after washing, the lining is still so super soft.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>VITAMIN E MOISTURE CREAM</b></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The Body Shop, 50ml, £10</i></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually got this as a free gift when I ordered from The Body Shop's website. But I love it. I've actually used this product before and adored it. Although I occasionally have oily skin, in the winter my skin tends to dry out a stupid amount and it leaves me with flakey skin on my nose and elsewhere. This cream is perfect for me. I only really need it during this time of year so in my opinion, it's affordable and it works well, so what more could I ask for? My skin looks and feels healthier, I get less paranoid about how my face looks, since sometimes make up accentuates the dry areas. It has a non-offensive smell, similar to the Vitamin E Facial wash, but nicer than the Vitamin E Face Mask. The consistency is perfect, in my eyes. It's not thick and allows the skin to absorb it without hassle. Some moisturisers can leave your skin feeling sticky and uncomfortable.This cream is perfect for everyone, of all skin types and ages.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've actually mentioned this in my <a href="http://carrielouisee.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/september-favourites.html" target="_blank">September Favourites</a> post and this is actually the same pot I've been using for the entirety of this year. I've used this lip balm almost every day of this year and I still have loads left. For such a tiny pot, I'm genuinely surprised with how long the product lasts. As winter is now here and the weather is much more harsh than before, I find my lips drying out so easily. This little pot is all I need to keep my lips moisturised and even when they become dry, it's enough to help my lips recover. The Aloe Vera Vaseline is also a cheap and great alternative. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Monu, 50ml, £24.95</i></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually got this in my Glossybox from October, so it's only a sample size of 20ml, but it's lasted me such a long time. I find you only really need a little amount to get the best results. The formula is a little thick, in my eyes, but it doesn't leave the stickiness after being absorbed, so that's always a good sign. This is part of my winter essentials because whether or not your skin is highly moisturised, you still want it to look it and that's what I find this primer does. It's illuminating, therefore it boosts the radiance of the complexion as well as having light reflective qualities. It makes you feel like you're glowing, I'm so glad I received this sample and I'm definitely tempted to go out and buy the full size when I run out. It's for all skin types and is perfect for all year around, because the ingredients help form a barrier to protect your skin against harmful sun rays and help prevent UV damage.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have no idea why the lettering always manages to come off almost every product I own. But I am in love with this concealer. It claims to give you up for 16 hour coverage, and it completely does. The only thing I'm not happy with is how quickly it dries on the skin, you have to blend it fairly quickly otherwise it can look patchy. Also, I've found you only really need to use a little amount otherwise you start to look cakey. The coverage is buildable and I found the one I use (fair) to be a lovely shade and perfect for my skin tone. I honestly would not expect a concealer so cheap to be such a high quality product. This is essential to me because I often get very little sleep so my under eyes are disgustingly darkened. This concealer gives me the lift I need, completely covers the darkness and brightens my entire face. </span></div>

<b>'<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">FLASH' BY JIMMY CHOO</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Boots, 60ml, £45.</i></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love the Jimmy Choo fragrances and actually got a sample of this one when I re-ordered my Naked 2 palette this time last year. I wasn't too sure at first, the Jimmy Choo EDP is my favourite fragrance and has been since I bought it a couple of years back so I was a tad apprehensions that the second fragrance would completely disappoint me. It didn't. It was different, I admit that, but it was far more sophisticated. The perfume is extremely floral and fruity with main notes of Tuberose, Strawberry and Jasmine, but as it starts to dry it matures with notes of White Wood and Heliotrope. Only a couple of sprays is needed as it actually can be a little overpowering and obnoxious. But it is strong and the strength lasts for an extremely long time, maybe about six hours. This is perfect for this time of year because nearing the end of the year everyone celebrates. With christmas and new year's eve the month of December is just a huge excuse to have and attend as many parties as you can. This perfume is perfect for that. It's glamorous, long wearing and although it can appear highly sophisticated, it's also really playful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>THISWORKS PERFECT HANDS INTENSE MOISTURE CREAM</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>thisworks, 75ml, £18.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love thisworks. The brand can be a little pricey but their name says it all, because the products they sell really work. So, where do I start? The fragrance. I love it, but I feel like I'm the only one who does. Everyone I've asked the opinions of claim 'it smells old womany' but I'm convinced it's the rose oil. Most rose scented products I've tried often leave that impression of being 'old womany'. The cream itself is highly moisturising, it hydrates my hands instantly without leaving the greasy shine that some hand creams do. The cream also is a lovely consistency and only a little is needed to keep your hands moisturised. The aims of this cream is to reduce the appearance of dark spots, tighten the skin and to lock in moisture. I believe it does all of these things. If these objectives are what you're looking for in a hand cream and don't mind the price. I would more than suggest to buy it. If the price is concerning you, I have had mine since April, although I use it twice a day, I still have way over half the tube left. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm aware and stupidly frustrated that the photos on this blog post are terrible and I'm looking into buying a decent camera rather than using my phones. But I never realised before how difficult it is to photograph lipsticks and capture their true colours. The swatches could have came out better, as well. Oh well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enough of that, these three are my favourite lipsticks to wear this time of year. I love to wear them on their own, but also sometimes a combination of them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Captive</b> is a dark pinky plum colour lipstick, it's one of the lipsticks MAC do with a satin finish, meaning it's almost matte but more creamy. I love it because it's highly pigmented, meaning you get a rather bold look. Captive will definitely go with all skin types, in my opinion. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Capricious</b> is more of a rosey plum colour. The finish you get from it is lustre, which I was quite disappointed with, I find the lipstick is rather sheer and doesn't stay on for too long, especially whilst drinking etc. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Jewel Red</b> isn't actually available anymore, but it's one of my favourite red lipsticks,considering I accidentally bought it. It's sort of brick like in colour, but with a hint of gold and shimmer. It's an extremely sheer lipstick, which I dislike but when blended with one or both of the two lipsticks I've mentioned, it looks lovely. This really puts me in the festive mood, purely because of the colour.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm actually yet to find a pair of gloves or wellies I have fallen in love with, chances are, when I do I will update this post. I can't believe I'm prepared for winter for once hahaha.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I adore the concept of Glossybox and any other equivalent beautybox.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those who aren't sure what it is, you pay about £10 for the box itself and then about £3 for postage each month. Inside you get five beauty 'must -have' products for the moment, based on a questionnaire you have to complete, so the products are tailored to your skincare/beauty needs.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The boxes are themed and include both full size products and samples. Both theme and contents are kept a surprise until people start receiving their boxes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can opt to pay once every month or every three, six or twelve months.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Currently, all pricing information is here: <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/beauty">http://www.glossybox.co.uk/beauty</a>. Chances are that they will move the website around, but if you have a poke around, I'm sure you'll find it.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">My November box came today and I love it, I believe there's only one product I'm not impressed with at all. Since I'm still new to the blogging scene, I've never reviewed one of my Glossyboxes before. So, here we go.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">The theme of this month's box was 'The Glossy Wishlist.' Winter has arrived I'm constantly trying to find the best products to keep my skin as healthy as possible in the harsh weather. This box has really helped me on my journey to radiant skin.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I already adore this product so much. I've been playing around with it since my box arrived this morning and I can tell already I'm going to purchase the full sized version. This sample is extremely generous in my opinion, you get three 3ml tubes of serum. Two of them 'Skin Idealizer' and one of them 'Smoothing and Illuminating cream.' Both products showed visible results straight away so I look forward to the effect after constant usage. My skin feels radiant and smooth and the serum itself smells amazing. Definitely one of my favourite samples I've ever received in my Glossybox.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love the Yves Rocher products. They're affordable and high quality and I'm yyet to try any of their hand creams, which maybe one of the reasons I got so excited when I found this lying in my box. I received the Cocoa and Raspberry scented hand cream, which when I noticed this I was so disappointed. I really dislike things chocolate scented, but I was pleasantly surprised because when I went to try it the raspberry overpowered the cocoa and it smelt delightful. My hands felt well moisturised and the cream itself is a lovely consistency, not too thick that you feel like you've covered your hands in glue but not too runny, either. This definitely puts me in the wintery spirit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the only product in this month's box that I was disappointed with, and I know I won't use them. Not because it's a terrible product or not useful, because I hardly ever wear nail varnish. I get two days off a week from work, except when I've booked holidays, and I'm forbidden to wear nail polish. If I do have a lot of time off work, I do tend to indulge in the occasional fake nail, which is when these pads will come in handy. They're acetone free and </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">nourishing to the nail and cuticle. T</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">he packet has a cover under the lid to keep the pads fresh so they last longer.</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having actually used these pads before, I would recommend them</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my opinion, this perfume has more of a autumnal feel about it, it is a primarily floral scent but has undertones of wood and spices which give me the feel of the autumn time, but it may just be me and my nose.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a lovely scent, none the less. It's long wearing and a rich smelling perfume. Definitely perfect for a formal dinner or a date. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Still unsure on this product. The texture feels similar to the texture of The BodyShop's eyeshadows but feels fairly waxy. I haven't used this yet in an eye look but I have swatched it on my hand and it's fairly difficult to remove. The product isn't as pigmented as i'd like but is fairly easy to blend so it'd be perfect for a smokey eye look. I haven't been wearing dark eyeshadow recently and when I have before I've avoided the colour black because depending what look you go for, if can look rather harsh against my complexion. It's free from oil, nickel, parabens and perfume and is perfect for sensitive eyes, like mine definitely are in the winter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I'm still undecided.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>BLUE CORN 3 IN 1 DEEP CLEANSING FACE MASK</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The Body Shop, 100ml, £10.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been using this for a few weeks now and I've completely fallen in love. I set my eyes on it in the store and was put off by the smell, obviously if you're putting something on your face you want it to smell good. The texture seemed perfect, it was thick, creamy and beady to help exfoliate. I'm so glad I bought it despite the smell, I actually don't think it smells that bad anymore after using it 1-2 times a week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You apply the mask to wet skin, avoiding the lip and eye areas and leave for about 10-15 minutes, in that time it goes hard. After the time is up you apply water to exfoliate then rinse. As someone with oily skin, but not majorly, I found this perfect. My face feels more fresh and it does exactly what it's set out to do; cleanse, exfoliate and purify.</span></div>
<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">VITAMIN E GENTLE FACIAL WASH </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The Body Shop, 100ml, £8.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been using this product for a few months now and it's a permanent part of my daily routine. Admittedly, it smells like 'old lady soap' but I enjoy the smell. Apply onto a wet face whether that in the morning or evening, I tend to use it twice a day, before cleansing and toning my face, massage into your face then rinse. It's recommended for all skin types but I suggest using it if you have an oily complexion, as after I use it my face feels more dry, like it's ridden of the excess oils. I love how soft and not oily my skins feels after using and how it's also tough on make up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>SOAP & GLORY SUGAR CRUSH BODY WASH</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Boots, 500ml, £6.50.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is another product I've actually been using for a while but I love it so much I keep rekindling my love for it. This is one of the best smelling things I have ever used in the shower. It smells like sweet lime, although I'm not really a fan of citrusy things, I can't help but ignore that when using this. It smells so delicious and it's by far one of my favourite things I've ever used. Especially when you wake up in the morning feeling like you're carrying a tonne of bricks and you drag yourself into the bathroom, it completely wakes you up and makes you feel refreshed and ready to take on the day. The texture is creamy and it's a lovely consistency, not too watery that it all dribbles down your leg, but not too thick that it feel like you're smearing body butter over yourself. I would recommend this for everyone, especially if you need something for the day time to keep you smelling sweet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>ONE DIRECTION 'OUR MOMENT'</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The Fragrance Shop, 100ml, £36.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm a huge fan of One Direction, so when they released their perfume early September, I rushed out to go and try it. Chances are I probably would have bought it anyway despite what it smelt like. However I think it smelt gorgeous. It smells sweet and floral, almost like a sweet shop in a way. I've been wearing nothing but this perfume since I bought it and it's lasted quite long compared to the other fragrances I completely drain. I can't help but feel like it smells similar to another fragrance I can't quite put my finger on, but it does smell amazing. I completely suggest picking up a bottle. It's rather affordable, you can buy it from almost all the outlets which sell fragrances. When I went there was an offer for a 30ml bottle for £19.99. So if you just want to give it a try, I definitely suggest hunting around for the best offer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>YANKEE CANDLES 'SPICED ORANGE' & 'CINNAMON STICK'</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Clinton Cards, Small Jar, £8.39</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually believe there was an offer on when I bought these two candles, I got the two for about £12. I absolutely love yankee candles. I often buy two for each season and autumn is my absolute favourite season, mainly because of the smells. I've used the cinnamon stick candle more than the spiced orange one, purely because I prefer the scent to the other, but when they're burning at the same time, my room just smells so amazing. These candles, no matter what scent you get, they fill the room with an atmosphere. My room smells like cinnamon days after I've finished using the candles. I'm aware there are cheaper alternatives to yankee candles and if you can buy a yankee one, I believe you should because in my opinion they're so worth the money</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I haven't changed primers since the Nivea Express Hydration primer was released, but as much as I loved it, i was on the hunt for a new one, seeking some adventure. I spotted this primer whilst I was on a rampage around The Body Shop, hauling everything I could get my hands on. I thought that there was no harm in trying it. I love this so much! I chose the matte primer over the moisturising one as my skin can be oily and I want to reduce the appearance of that. The consistency is thicker than any primer I've used in the past. It felt more like a serum, in my opinion. However when I applied it, my apprehension completely disappeared; not only did it help my make up look more radiant, matte and stay as it was for a really long time, it was so soft on my skin and surprisingly light. Would definitely suggest trying this primer, since the body shop are against animal testing and stand for issues like a more realistic idea of beauty.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Superdrug, 7.5g , £2.55.</i></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The seasons are changing as so is the weather. It's getting colder and the wind and rain is getting harsh on my lips, causing them to become chapped and dry. Everyone knows how much of a pain it is when your lips are dry. Which is why this lip balm has become an essential for September. I prefer the little pot, as shown, however there are tubes of lip balm, which also double up as a lip gloss. Protecting my lips is important to me as I hate how uncomfortable it feels when they're dry. This balm is actually cherry scented and smells amazing. It also contains SPF15, to protect your lips from the sun, so it's completely useful all year around. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's cheap and cheerful and that's why I love it so much.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've loved benefit products since I discovered them. However it's completely beyond me how I've taken this long to buy this mascara. They're not lying at all when they claim you'll see results similar to fake eyelashes. I refuse to wear fake eyelashes now since I have a mascara that can simulate exactly the same effects. Even with one coat, my eyelashes look better than any other mascara has made them look. I adore the brush, the little spikey top bit is so you can vertically coat your eyelashes making them looking increasingly better than the generic horizontal fashion. I physically can't find anything else to say about it, it's that good. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Debenhams, 1.3g, £16.50</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been experimenting with eye shadow and different eye make up looks and this powder is perfect when blended together with 'diamond dog' from Urban Decay. This powder is highly pigmented and so sparkly it's unreal. It's a lovely bronze colour but in some lights can have golden undertones, and in some lights brown, which I think is why I love this so much. It's almost as if you can create a completely new look just by being in different lighting. Definitely at it's prettiest when used as part of a smokey eye effect.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I usually buy all my bags from New Look but recently I have been disappointed on the selection of choices. I'm constantly looking for a bigger bag to cram everything in, and I believe I have found exactly what I'm looking for. I stumbled across this bag by accident, literally. I tripped over and fell into this bag, causing me to fall in love with it. It is absolutely huge. I can fit two pairs of shoes and my make up bag in there comfortably. I think the thing I like the most about it, not only the size, is the fact it's zip-less. The only downside is that people can look into my bag whenever they want, but it means it'll last a lot longer than my other bags, which I've had to throw away due to breaking the zips. I love this bag, I love the size, I love the colour and I loved the price.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those who don't know, twizzlers are an american sweet which I am 100% addicted to. You can grab these in any store that sell american sweets, or obviously america itself. I'm not sure how much a pack of this size is because my friend got her dad to buy me some from america. I know a pack of four will cost £1-3 roughly. Obviously because they're american, they often tend to be more expensive in England. Please cry for me when I run out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was actually convinced I had finished this packet long ago, but discovered them earlier today. My best friend returns from Flordia on Sunday and I know she'll definitely have a suitcase full of twizzlers for me. I only really like the strawberry ones, though. They taste far better than the Cherry, or any other flavoured ones. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm fortunate enough to live near an outlet which sells discontinued and occasionally in season <span style="background-color: white;">Estée Lauder products at discounted prices. On a hunt for a new powder last week I bought one of my first ever smashbox products. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought the powder in colour 'Light' which was the lightest one they had, but in the future I'll end up getting a 'Fair' because I feel it's too orange for my skin tone. I suppose I'm just used to being ghostly and a bit of colour will do me some good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However I have absolutely fallen in love with this product! Since I've started using it, I've had nothing but compliments on how refreshed and radiant I look, despite having no sleep.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmRIwMvA1eeSTLlsYX7U-wVtQklpfOOHVdfbx1PYdhqIPkbaFknu5zN5OzqKRELKvn7djAUS2Gz3xaHLNsDad8oAFgSaN-vGX0MQno2AvukMA1o3LMNTft7r0PiXm84KgPLkUIFmrdHSsd/s1600/blogger-image-1691565886.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmRIwMvA1eeSTLlsYX7U-wVtQklpfOOHVdfbx1PYdhqIPkbaFknu5zN5OzqKRELKvn7djAUS2Gz3xaHLNsDad8oAFgSaN-vGX0MQno2AvukMA1o3LMNTft7r0PiXm84KgPLkUIFmrdHSsd/s200/blogger-image-1691565886.jpg" width="150" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The powder is light and gives an amazing coverage, even when using minimal. It sits nicely on top of foundation and concealer without looking 'cakey.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's selling for £19 on the smashbox website, however I got it for £13.50. I definitely got a bargain! My only criticism is that when applied onto a brush, there's quite a bit of fallout from the compact, even when used sparingly. So I fear it may run out soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I feel completely covered and matte for however long I wear it, without needing to top it up, even after a disgusting sweaty day of rushing around at work. I'm definitely buying some more next time I'm near the outlet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Here are a few I have my eye on, and some accessories to accompany them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQpiHIS7RhMRi8GzWr93zR9QMcvzxxNflvOBUiPpxHgvzjez0Cvqicy17rTwNivYh-iAGOdzxouhEA9tVSgRtTnCuaIMtTm9M5OWaA2vqBJ9ycmE9Bhfa0iE-_V0OVNQEiBML-6c3_mfwI/s1600/bag+wishlist.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQpiHIS7RhMRi8GzWr93zR9QMcvzxxNflvOBUiPpxHgvzjez0Cvqicy17rTwNivYh-iAGOdzxouhEA9tVSgRtTnCuaIMtTm9M5OWaA2vqBJ9ycmE9Bhfa0iE-_V0OVNQEiBML-6c3_mfwI/s1600/bag+wishlist.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <b>1</b>. <i>Topshop, £95</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saw this bag in-store, however it's also available <a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/bags-accessories-1702216/bags-purses-462/tri-lock-fastening-holdall-2054884?bi=1&ps=200">online</a> and absolutely fell in love. Definitely hoping to catch it in the sale.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2</b>. <i>New Look. £3.99</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After seeing <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/jewellery-and-hair-accessories/gold-crystal-ears-alice-band-_286144193" target="_blank">this</a> style headband in Taylor Swift's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgFeZr5ptV8">video</a> (LOVED her style), the impulsive side of me wanted to have one. Such an adorable item to own, whether for dress up or just to add a bit of fun to your outfit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3</b>. <i>New Look. £19.99</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I came across <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/bags-and-purses/black-slouch-wing-tote-bag-_275830701" target="_blank">this</a> during my online shopping saga and in my opinion, it's not as nice as the Topshop one, but is definitely a cheaper alternative for an almost similar style.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4</b>. <i>New Look. £29.99</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have absolutely all the time in the world for New Look's shoe collections. They're fashionable, high quality and affordable. I'm not a fan of open peak shoes, so <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-shoes/black-crochet-lace-bar-court-shoes_272955601" target="_blank">these</a> are perfect for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5</b>. <i>River Island. £45.00</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My friend came into work with this bag draped over her arm and as soon as I saw it, I knew I needed it. It's stylish and practical and the colouring goes with pretty much everything in my wardrobe. (<i>sadly they've taken it off their website since uploading this pos</i>t)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>6</b>. <i>Accessorize. £12.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The lovely <a href="http://twitter.com/hannahastonn">Hannah</a> bought me <a href="http://uk.accessorize.com/view/product/uk_catalog/acc_5,acc_5.29/4996417000">this</a> phone case for my birthday, a few months ago. Being as clumsy as I am, I stupidly dropped my phone in a club and broke it the day before. I eventually upgraded from an iPhone 4s to a 5, leaving myself with a case that no longer fits and a naked phone. But I liked this case so much, I want it again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> What items would be on your wishlist?</span><br />
