After nearly a month from blogging, yikesss where has July gone? I'm back! Last week was my 19th birthday so I thought it would be nice to share some of the lovely presents I received. To keep theme with my blog, I'm just going to share the beauty bits and bobs. I celebrated with birthday breakfast with the girls, afternoon tea with my mum and then out for dinner with my boyfriend in the evening. The whole day was centred round food, which was absolutely fine by me!</div>

I literally can't stop swooning over these photos, these are the first things I've ever owned from Chanel and I think it may be the start of an expensive addiction. I love how classy and sophisticated the products are. Even the packaging is too nice to through away, I've filled the box with some jewellery and it now has a rightful space on my dressing table.</div>

I've currently got the nail varnish on my toes, I'll spare you of that image but the formula was really lovely and opaque in two coats. The lipstick is also super cool, instead of pulling off the lid you have to push up the bullet to make it pop up. Kind of hard to explain but does anyone remember The Sarah Jane Adventures and her Sonic Lipstick?!</div>

Can we please just take a moment to appreciate the packaging of these beauties *heart-eyed emoji x100*. On the left is number 13 from the Rouge Volupte Shine Collection, it's a really glossy pink which literally goes with any makeup look. I must not carry on using this as an everyday lipstick! The formula is amazing, even though it is more of glossy, creamy finish it is really long lasting. On the right strangely enough is also number 13 from the the Rouge Pur Couture collection. This lipstick is a gorgeous orangey-red colour, with more of a stain finish. It really reminds me of MAC's Lady Danger. </div>
<br />
I am so grateful to have such generous friends and family who know me so well! Weird fact, my birthday is on the 23rd of July meaning I fall between two star signs, Cancer and Leo so always have a look at both horoscopes. Does your birthday fall under different star signs?<br />

Estee Lauder is a brand I've never really tried out, when I was younger I'd always pinch some of my mums perfume or lipstick so I've always associated it as a brand for older ladies. However with the launch of the Clear Difference range, targeted at blemish prone skin I was excited to learn more about the brand. A few weeks ago I attended an event showing off the launch of the latest collection. The event began with everyone removing their makeup to try out the range, although this was a little daunting at first it was so fun to get to try out the different products and see how they feel on the skin. The <a href="http://www.esteelauder.co.uk/products/12660/Product-Catalog/Skincare/Collections/Clear-Difference/index.tmpl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Clear Difference Range</a> is made up of three products, one makeup and two skincare pieces...</div>

The Clear Difference Serum is descri</span>bed as a blemish serum, with salicylic acid being one of the active </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">ingredients. I love how this serum felt on the skin it was so light weight and refreshing because of the clean, cucumber scent. It literally melted in to the skin without leaving behind any residue or tight feeling.</span></td></tr>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u>The Targeted Treatment</u> £25 // </i>Out of the three, is is the coolest product. It's like a click-y pen which you push up to release the product. This is a specific treatment for individual spots and redness and unlike many treatments which are targeted at blemishes the Clear Difference one is really gentle and hydrating.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u><br /></u></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u>The BB Cream</u> £34 - </i>described as a 'complexion perfecting' this is a really nice BB cream, the formula is really light weight as well as being oil-free, something I much prefer in the summer as my skin does tend to become a lot oiler compared to the winter months. It also has an SPF of 35, which is great for the summertime. Estee Lauder suggest that you can wear the BB either under foundation or alone, although I would wear it alone as the formula is so light weight it would sit nicely under another foundation without going cakey. The BB cream is available in three different shades; light, medium and dark with the light shade being my perfect match. I've also noticed that Nic from Pixwoo always has product stashed in her everyday makeup bag!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Out of the whole range what I like most is that Estee Lauder have created a more 'grown up' way to treat blemishes and other imperfections. The majority of skincare brands which create products targeted at blemish prone skin are really harsh and stripping on the skin, whereas the Clear Difference range is really refreshing.</div>

I don't know if i mentioned, but I'm going to Glastonbury. I've religiously been checking the forecast for the week but with the recent sunshine spells, things are starting to look a little downhill. Besides the weather, a makeup bag is a necessity <i>(in a beauty bloggers case anyway)</i>. I've tried my best to cut down my stash to the items I <i>really</i> need. Hopefully this will help some of you too!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><i>Base </i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Starting with base, this is where I did get a little enthusiastic as I found lots of multi-tasking compacts. I've opted for the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/face-make-up/gosh-cc-cream-foundation-sand-3/invt/720279&bklist=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">GOSH CC cream illuminating foundation</a>*, instead of a regular foundation this is has a lighter consistency but still provides the perfect amount of coverage and is very moisturising. It's perfect for evening out skin tone and lasting all day. The <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory%E2%84%A2-Kick-Ass-Concealer%E2%84%A2-Three-Piece-Camouflage-Kit-2-x-2-6g_1243294/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Soap and Glory kick ass concealer kit</a> contains a translucent setting powder, two concealers, one blemishes and the other for under eye circles - a festival essential. Finally for base is the <a href="http://www.sleekmakeup.com/face-form-contour-light" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sleek face form palette</a>, this covers all grounds. Containing a bronzer, highlighter and blusher in a neat little compact. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><i>Eyes & Brows</i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Instead of faffing about with different eyeshadows and palettes, I've narrowed it down to one little product. The <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-EyeStudio-Color-Tattoo-24hr-Cream-Gel-Eyeshadow_1253778/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maybelline colour tattoo in On and On Bronze</a>, it just gets the job done. Easy to apply and blend with your fingers and stays put all day. I'm not usually a lover of waterproof mascaras but with the uncertain forecast it's been deemed a necessity, I'm packing the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/eye-make-up/gosh-waterproof-volume-mascara-black/invt/717558&bklist=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">GOSH waterproof volume mascara</a>*. For eyebrows I'm taking the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Benefit-Gimme-Brow-Gel_1458698/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Benefit gimmie brow</a>, the volumizing formula means acceptable brows without fiddling around with a little angled brush and powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><u>Lips</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lip balm is an essential for keeping everything nice and moisturised, my lip balm of choice is the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Burts-Bees-Beeswax-Lip-Balm-4g_49976/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Burt's Bees beeswax lip balm</a>, which has a really fresh peppermint scent. For lip colour's I've decided to go with the chubby stick style formulas as they are really easy to apply and top up with through out the day. Some of my favourites are the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/lip-make-up/mua-power-pouts-lipstick-runaway/invt/621356&bklist=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MUA power pout</a> in Runway and the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Revlon-ColorBurst-8482-Matte-Balm_1416281/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Revlon ColourBurst matte balm</a> in Audacious.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><u>Other</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For nail varnish I've chosen the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/buy-1-get-2nd-12-price-on-selected-gosh/gosh-nail-lacquer-sea-me-633/invt/964057&bklist=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">GOSH Danielle in Sea Me!</a>* which is beautiful, bright blue shade. The formula also has a lot of shimmer running through it, which usually means the lasting power is pretty good and they are less resistant to chipping. As for the rest, I'm packing baby wipes and lots of them!<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I've just weighed my rucksack and it's edging on 4 stone, wish me luck!</i><br />

<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Clarins-BB-Skin-Perfecting-Cream-SPF25_1315222/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Clarins BB Skin Perfecting Cream</a> £30 - Back when I did <a href="http://kathleenpavey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/tag-blogger-made-me-buy-it.html" target="_blank">the blogger made me buy it tag</a> in January, I mentioned how I never really jumped on board with the whole BB, CC<i>,</i> <i>DD... the list continues</i> thing. But there was something about this Clarins one. It's perfect for adding the right amount of coverage, gives a matte finish but still gives you that luminous glow. Mines the lightest shade, which I never usually am. The other ones had much more of a warmer undertone which I don't feel would have suited me very well so I'd recommend trying this one out before you buy.</div>

<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Estee-Lauder-Pure-Color-Long-Lasting-Lipstick_4472/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Estee Lauder Pure Colour Lipstick</a> £20 - How gorrrrrgeous is this lipstick? A lipstick is always a necessary purchase. Aside from the colour I just love how how luxurious the packaging is. It now has it's rightful place at the very front of my lipstick stand. The colour is Widly Pink, it's quite bold but because of the glossy formula it's still suitable for everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Clinique-Cheek-Pop-Blush_1450142/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Clinique Cheek Pop</a> £16.50 - I picked up the a while when Clinique had their Bonus Time event on. Originally I wanted the Peach Pop shade but being a new launch, they had all sold out apart from one Berry Pop. I thought the colour would be way too much for my skin and might look a little too '<i>10 year found their mothers makeup bag</i>' but when applied it's blend in to a really nice colour. Also the flower packaging, how could I resist?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/benefit-gimme-brow-volumizing-fiber-gel/p1127439" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Benefit Gimmie Brow</a> £17.50 - This was something I was umm'ing over for a while. There's always so much hype built up around the release for new Benefit products, so I thought to wait and see if it was really worth it. Boy o boy it is. It really does give the effect of fuller looking brows, something I was little sceptical about. The only downside is the price tag for only 3g of product, eeeeeekkk.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.asos.com/The-Balm/theBalm-Mary-Lou-Luminizer---Highlighting-Powder/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4132282" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">theBalm Mary Lou Luminizer</a> £16.00 - I don't know if this brand is counted as high-end but as it's probably the most talked about highligher's in the blogging community I had to include it. The Mary Lou Manizer. I've wanted this for ages and finally caved last week when ASOS had 25% off student code. Initially they sent me Cindy Lou which also came all cracked but they sent me out the replacement super quickly. The excitement to use this for the first time is too much, is that sad?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been reading quite a few posts recently about the deliberation surrounding makeup expiring dates. After going on a bit of makeup spending spree towards the end of last month, I thought I'd have a good rummage through my collection and get rid of unwanted bits and pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're thinking of having a clear out as well, this is what I did. I started by laying out all of my makeup on to my bedroom floor and then went through every 'category' one by one, sorting in to three different piles: <i>Keep, Chuck, and New Home.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I rediscovered so many pieces of makeup that had fallen, unloved at the bottom of collection. The Chuck pile was relatively small, mainly consisting of empty samples, false eyelash glue and some dried out mascaras. I've finally learnt to have only one or two mascaras on the go at once, else they just dry out so quickly. For the New Home pile, I added things which were still in good condition but I just didn't use enough. My friend has done pretty well with this pile, with various foundations, tinted moitseriesers and eyeliners making their way to her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think having a makeup clear out every so often is great way to find not only get rid of some bits and bobs but also to rediscover some old favourites, I found my <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Wake-Me-Up-Make-Up-Foundation-30ml_1246748/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation</a>, which was one of my faves last summer. Also the clear out, has made a bit extra space for my additions! Remember to check back later this week too see what new things I've purchased.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope you all have a lovely week, let me know if you have a makeup collection refresh as well.</div>

Wooop woop, monthly favourites time! Here's a selection of the things I've been loving throughout May. As it is now officially June, that means Glastonbury is this month! I'm so excited, which I think I've demonstrated to myself with the pretty hefty ASOS order I've just made... Are any of you going?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Paris-False-Lash-Flutter-Mascara_1305566/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">L'Oreal False Lash Flutter mascara</a> £10.99 - I've had this mascara sitting my makeup collection for a little while and never really used it until recently. It's perfect just to add a little extra something to your lashes after a first mascara. The wand is a really odd but unique shape, it's really great for lengthening and getting the individual lashes.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Real-Techniques-Setting-Brush_1277701/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Real Techniques Setting Brush</a> £8.99 - This is another item I had sitting around in my stash going a little unloved. I sometimes used it with a powder to set under my eyes but other than that it was pretty redundant until I saw one of Lily Pebbles recent videos on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYxMqPfz_hw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">her favourite makeup brushes</a>. She mentioned how she loved to use this for concealer and since this, this little one has found it's purpose. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Estee-Lauder-Pure-Color-Long-Lasting-Lipstick_4472/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Estee Lauder Pure Colour Lipstick</a> in Wildly Pink £20.00 - A couple of weeks ago I was invited to and Estee Lauder event promoting there new Clear Difference collection, <i>full post coming soon!</i> At the end of the event I bought this gorgeous lipstick. I love the colour and the packaging is so classy, it's my 'big girl' lipstick. At first I was going to go for more of a classic red shade, but I saw this one had to pick it up. It's more of a wearable shade so it will be getting a lot of use. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/elnett/loreal-elnett-hairspray-uv-filter-200ml/invt/778969&bklist=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">L'Oreal Elenett hairspray</a> £4.19 - Bit of a random one I know, but this stuff rocks. Back in the day I used to pick up whatever spray my local Superdrug had put on offer. Although this is a little pricer, it really is so much better. It's mists really finely so feels really lightweight in the hair without getting those dreaded, cripsy clumps. <i>Lush. </i>Definitely a hairspray I'll continue to repurchase for while.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/revenge" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Revenge</a> - As in the TV series, not real revenge that would be a little scary. I just finished watching series three and it's now the painful wait till the next season. It's just one of those programmes where you're like "I'll just watch one more episode" and before you know it you've watched six in a row and the whole afternoon has gone.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I posted my morning skincare routine earlier this week, you can go across and have a read of that one <a href="http://kathleenpavey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/current-morning-skincare-routine.html" target="_blank">here</a> if you missed it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I like to try and remove my makeup as soon as I get home instead of leaving it on all evening and doing it just before bed, just because it feels cleaner and so good knowing you can just jump straight into bed when you're feeling really tired and stayed up far too late binge watching Revenge <i>guiltyyy</i>. I remove the bulk of my makeup with a cotton pad soaked in <a href="http://www.escentual.com/bioderma/bioderma013/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bioderma</a>. To cleanse my face and also remove any left over makeup - which is usually mascara I've been using the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Superfacialist-Rose-Hydrate-Cleanser-150ml_1277154/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Super Facialist by Una Brennan Rose Hydrate Creamy Cleanser</a><i> (longest cleanser name ever award goes to you)</i>. Just like with my Liz Earle cleanser in the morning, I take a small amount and massage it all over my face before removing it with a warm muslin cloth or flannel. If I've worn a lot of makeup that day or have used a strong SPF I'll double cleanse just to ensure everything is super, squeaky clean.<br />
<br />
Most evenings I just use the <a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise/instant-boost-skin-tonic.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic</a> but around once or twice a week I like to use the <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/clarins-gentle-exfoliator-brightening-toner-125ml/p77924?kpid=230772842&s_kenid=1a6997ae-4bfb-2408-535f-000061d8e3f4&s_kwcid=106x56489&tmad=c&tmcampid=73" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Clarins Gentle Exfoliating Brightening toner</a>. I dislike using those facial scrubs with the little rough bits in, as I find them to be a little too harsh. Using this has the same effect but without feeling like you're removing a layer of skin. It leaves your skin look so much more radiant and refreshed without any irritation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most evening I'll use a serum under my moisturiser as a treatment. At the moment I've been using the <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/Caudalie_Vinoperfect_Radiance_Serum_Complexion_Correcting_30ml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance serum</a> which helps to lighten dark spots from left over blemishes and also promote and even complexion. I got this little tube as a sample from Latest in Beauty for around £5, which impressively has lasted me a good few months. This is a really nice product but I don't think I'll be purchasing the £40+ full size tube when this one does run out. For moisturiser I've been using the <a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise/skin-repair-moisturiser-normal-combination.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Liz Earle Skin Repair</a> although this is a nice product, I think it would be better suited to someone with a more dry or mature skin. To finish things off I just did the same things that I did in the morning with the <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/bubblegum" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lush Bubblegum scrub</a> and <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Burts-Bees-Beeswax-Lip-Balm-4g_49976/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Burt's Bees Beewax lip balm</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope that you've enjoyed having a little peak in to my skincare routines, let me know if you want to see what masks and other treatments I use.<br />
<br />
Hope you have a lovely weekend! Kathleen xxx </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I haven't posted any skincare related things yet, so here we go. Here's the lowdown on my current morning skincare routine - evening one coming later in the week!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My skin is what I'd call typical 18 year old girl skin. It's combination, with the majority being pretty normal and an oily t-zone. My skin is also prone to the odd family of blemishes and does get dehydrated from time to time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I start with a pump of the Liz Earle Grapefruit and Patchouli Cleanse & Polish (sadly this one was limited edition, but you can find the classic one <a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise/cleanse-and-polish-hot-cloth-cleanser.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>) and massage that all over my face, then remove with a warm muslin cloth - which my friend found hilarious, she thought it was a hankie the first time I whipped it out. I then take a small bit of the <a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise/instant-boost-skin-tonic.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic</a> on a cotton pad and swipe that all over my face, it feels so nice and refreshing after washing your face with the warm cloth. I always receive lots of Liz Earle bit and pieces for Christmas from family so for ages my skincare stash is always a bit Liz crazy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next I use the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/La-Roche-Posay-Effaclar-Duo--anti-blemish-cream_1440758/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo +</a>, I've done a <a href="http://kathleenpavey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/la-roche-posay-effaclar-duo-review.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">full review</a> of this product already so I won't waffle on too much about it here. But it's basically a serum which helps blemishes and marks. Sometimes this is it and I go straight on to lips but for days where my skins looking a little dull, I use the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/St-Tropez-Everyday-Gradual-Tan-Face-Light-Medium-50ml_55031/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">St Tropez gradual tan moisturiser</a>. This has a really nice lightweight formula, which sinks in to the skin really quickly meaning your makeup won't by sliding all over the place by 12pm. It just helps to put a little bit of life and glow back in your skin - great if you've had a late night.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally for lips, I use the <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/bubblegum" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lush Bubblegum lip scrub</a> just get rid of all the flaky bits (that sounds so gross). I take small amount on my finger, then just buff it in and remove the excess with the muslin cloth I used earlier. My lip treatment of choice recently has been the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Burts-Bees-Beeswax-Lip-Balm-4g_49976/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Burt's Bees lip balm</a> which is really moisturising, it also smells really minty and fresh which is why I really like using it in the morning.</div>

After all my <a href="http://kathleenpavey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/clinique-bonus-time.html" target="_blank">Clinique Bonus Time</a> excitement I couldn't wait to try all out of all my makeup bits. Here's a little face of the day style of post I took over the weekend. The first picture was taken just after I finished getting ready - excuse the weird half pout thing I've going on. The second was a few hours later <i>I had a little outfit change before leaving the house as it was actually sunny AND warm! </i>I'd spent the afternoon running a couple of errands, brownie making and enjoying a few glasses of Pimms. <i>Exams? What exams?..</i></div>

Apart from a few little lipstick top-ups, I didn't touch up any of my makeup and I think it did do a pretty good job of sticking around. I don't usually wear eyeliner during the day but I recently rediscovered a Loreal eyeliner I had hanging around in my collection so decided to give it a go. It's one of those felt tip pen style ones which I think definitely make things a lot easier. Another rediscovery was the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, which I mentioned last week in my <a href="http://kathleenpavey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/mid-month-favourites.html" target="_blank">mid- month faves</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
How hadn't heard of this amazing offer before, I don't know. But when a friend from work told me all about Clinique bonus time, I was all over it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The <i>rules</i> are simple, purchase at least two full size items from Clinique, with one being skincare and receive a free makeup bag filled with lots of goodies. Amazing. I haven't tried anything from Clinique before so this was a great chance to put it to the test. I picked up the <a href="http://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1672/29793/Skin-Care/Acne/Treatment-Specialists/Anti-Blemish-Solutions-Clinical-Clearing-Gel/index.tmpl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">anti-blemish solutions clinical clearing gel</a> <i>£20.00</i> and one I was most excited about, the <a href="http://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1593/29770/Makeup/Blushers/NEW-Cheek-Pop/index.tmpl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cheek pop in blush Berry Pop</a> <i>£16.50</i>. In the picture it looks pretty neon but when applied it blends out in to a gorgeous rosy colour *heart-eyed emoji*.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Within the makeup bag (which is super pretty) skincare wise you receive a rinse off foaming cleanser and superdefense SPF 20 daily moisturiser. As for makeup offerings there's the superprimer universal face primer, Smouldering Plum blusher, Extreme Pink lipstick and the high impact mascara. Even though all of the bits and bobs are not full size they are definitely very generous in comparison to your average sample. I'm most excited about the moisturiser and the face primer, the blush did look a little on the glittery side in the pan but I haven't worn it yet so can't fully judge.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If like new you're a Clinique newbie like me or an avid lover of the brand, this is great oppotunity to try out some new things. The Bonus Time offer is exclusive to House of Fraser till the 24th of May, while stocks last and all that jazz.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope you've all had a lovely week, Kathleen xxx </div>

I was a little late on the favourites train this month so I decided to make this post a bit of a mid-month/current favourites mash up...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=13650369&langId=-1&categoryId=&parent_category_rn=&searchTerm=TS20N10EPGR&resultCount=1&geoip=home" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Topshop's 'Keen" Nail Varnish</a> £5.00 - I featured this in my <a href="http://kathleenpavey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/spring-nail-polish-picks.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spring nail varnish post</a> last week. I mentioned how I usually tend to stick to 'standard' polish colours but something drew me to this one and it is love. The pastelly shade makes it nice and easy to wear, nothing too Wicked Witch from the West. Generally everyone Topshop nail varnish I've tried has been brilliant. The shade range is huuuge, they're foolproof to apply, last really well and to top it off the packaging is really cute.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/skincare/cleansers/camomile-silky-cleansing-oil.aspx?tmcampid=38&tmad=c&utm_source=Google_PLA&utm_medium=sem&utm_campaign=PLA&utm_content=PLA1&gclid=CKmu4se_l74CFfShtAodVycAEg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil</a> £10 - I'd read quite a bit about <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/skincare/cleansers/camomile-sumptuous-cleansing-butter.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the sister product</a> to this but something made me add the oil to my basket. I'd never tried a cleansing oil before this and prior to first application, I did feel like I was a about to rub a load of vegetable oil on my face, <i>gross. </i>After giving it a go, my doubts were proved wrong. I use this to remove the bulk of my makeup, I take around two pumps (extra brownie points for the pump and not an awkward, messy pouring bottle) slap it straight on to my face it and massage it in. It dissolves all of your makeup so effortlessly and quickly. It's also super gentle, I can rub it on to my eyes and all of my mascara literally melts away. And 100ml for a tenner, bargain.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Primark - Back in the day I used to hate Primark, I never understood peoples love for it. It made me think of cheap see through leggings, clothes all over the floor and strange graphic tee's. However after watching numerous hauls on YouTube, I think I've been converted. Granted if you attempt to go in on a Saturday afternoon you will be greeted with a crazy jumble sale but if you manage to find a quiet hour or so to pop in a have a rummage through, you can find some real gems. One of my favourite recent purchases is a navy laptop style bag, a near enough exact copy of the <a href="http://www.zara.com/uk/en/woman/handbags/hand-bags/mini-office-city-bag-c358020p1753063.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zara Office City bag</a> and for only £12.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Wake-Me-Up-Make-Up-Foundation-30ml_1246748/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation</a> £8.99 - As you know, throughout April I was on a makeup spending ban. This meant having a chance to took back through the many foundation bottles I was hoarding in my collection. Last summer, this foundation barely made it a day without being applied to my face until one day a new one came along and it just got shoved to the bottom of the pile. I'd forgotten how lovely this foundation is, it gives a lovely medium but natural looking coverage and a really gorgeous dewy glow. It works really well with the Wake Me Up Concealer, together they really brighten up my face especially on super early mornings!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope you're having a lovely week, my first exam is in three weeks eeeekkk. Do you have any exams coming up? - If so, good luck!</div>

A few weeks ago I picked up some new shades perfect for the time of year. The pale and pastel shades definitely took my fancy, here a few of my faves...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Perfection-Color-Riche-Nails_1427560/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Loreal Les Blancs collection in Nouvelle Vauge</a> £4.99 - I've tried a few Loreal nail varnishes in the past and they've always impressed, so when I saw the new Les Blancs collection I knew I had to pick one up. I think there is around 5 in the collection, they are all like an on off white polish with a hint of colour with this one being a light purple. I love that the brush is really wide, it makes it so easy and quick to paint your nails. There's also a really cute yellow in the collection with the cutest name, Lemon Meringue. I need.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/Tanya-Burr-Nail-Polish-60g" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tanya Burr in Mini Marshmallows</a> £5.99 - Out of the bunch, this one needs the most patience. I applied around three to four coats before I was happy with the colour, however if you don't mind waiting around to apply a few layers this is a really lovely nail varnish. When I wore it last week, loads of people asked me what I had on. It's not too in your face or too nude it's just the perfect light pink. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Barry-M-Hi-Shine-Gel-Effect-Nail-Polish_1281299/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Barry M Jelly in Huckleberry</a> £3.99 - This is probably my favourite of the lot. The formula of the Jelly range is so good and such good quality there isn't really a bad thing to say about them. They apply really easily, look opaque after one coat and have really good lasting power. I think this particular shade is from a new collection of pastel shades, I'm sure I'll be back to pick up a few more soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Models-Own-HyperGels-Nail-Polish_1436037/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Models Own Hyper Gel in Naked Glow</a> £5.00 - I'd heard quite a bit about this collection before I picked up this polish so I was expecting good things. This definitely isn't a bad nail polish, it's the perfect nude shade and had amazing colour pay off after just one coat however I just found the formula to be a bit thick and the brush was a little thin. I'll reserve this one for a pamper evening, where I have a little more time to sit down and enjoy painting the talons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=13650369&langId=-1&categoryId=&parent_category_rn=&searchTerm=TS20N10EPGR&resultCount=1&geoip=home" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Topshop in Keen</a> £5.00 - For whatever technical reasoning beyond my understanding, the photos haven't picked up the true colour of the polishes very well. In real life it's a lot lighter and more pastely, this has to be another one of my favourites. I normally tend to stick to reds, pinks and nudes but when I saw this polish, I knew I that I would love it. It's such a gorgeous shade that will really compliment a tan - it will definitely be making it in to my travel bag this summer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think that nail varnishes are something you can save your pennies on, especially with trend colours like pastels and neons. All of the nail varnishes I picked up were under a fiver, plus there are always loads of deals on too. Barry M is often on 3 for 3 of 2 for £6, this is great way to pick up a few new shades and maybe try a colour you wouldn't usually go for...</div>

Woo it's the first day of May, meaning that my makeup spending ban is now over! If you missed the original post I'll link it for you <a href="http://kathleenpavey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/april-makeup-spending-ban.html" target="_blank">here</a>. To sum it up I decided to not allow myself to buy one single piece of makeup or makeup related things like brushes and nail varnishes etc, throughout the whole of April.</div>

For all you fellow makeup lovers, this may sound pretty though going but actually I think I was a lot easier on myself than I could of been. You might have guessed from my <a href="http://kathleenpavey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/the-body-shop-skincare-haul.html" target="_blank">Body Shop Haul</a> the other week that I didn't feel that skincare should come in to 'makeup' as well as haircare and clothes. This meant the money I wasn't spending on makeup, I was spending on clothes instead. That's my logical thought process for you there.</div>

Although I perhaps didn't save as much as I could of, it's not all bad news. I managed to pay off of the important things I need to like Glastonbury <i>yay</i> and my car tax, <i>the joys</i>! Also it gave me the chance to have a good rummage through the makeup I was already hoarding, I found loads of things I had forgotten all about so expect a 'shopping the stash' style post soon.</div>

Sticking to my ban plan means I might of accumulated a bit of a wishlist... Maybe that defeats the whole point, but here are the things I've been dying to get my hands on for the last four weeks.</div>

Hello everyone, I'm back today with a usual beauty related post! It was nice to do a few lifestyley things while I was on my Easter holidays but being back at sixth form again means I'm not doing anything too exciting for now. Also did you see the guest post I wrote this week for Dizzy Brunette's blog? I'll leave a little link to it <a href="http://www.dizzybrunette3.com/2014/04/guest-post-spring-beauty-by-kathleen.html#.U1fwmSjstbw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> if you missed that, it was so weird to see a picture of my face on her page! Hello to you if you've come across to my little blog from seeing that post! Anyway waffle over, have a lovely rest of the week.<br />

This little tube of goodness, is probably one of the best things that has happened to my skin. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit but it is seriously good stuff, I think it should be renamed Miracle Serum...?!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For anyone who hasn't heard of this product or is a little unsure, it is basically a serum targeted at oily and/or blemish prone skin, there was the original Effaclar Duo which aimed to correct and unclog any imperfections. Recently they reformulated it, to do all those good things as well as help any stubborn markings and scars to fade. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Initially when I first bought the original version over a year ago I hated it because I thought it was making my skin worse rather than better, so I used it on and off and didn't really stick with it. I later realised this was because of the main reasons was that it contained Salicylic Acid, an ingredient which gets deep in to your pores and clears everything out (the unclogging bit) which for me resulted in spots popping up. However after reading up on it, I saw that this happened to quite a few people that used it but mentioned that it's worth carrying on with. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After sticking with it for a while I really saw a noticeable difference in my skin, I'm lucky in the fact that I've never had very bad skin but I still get the odd group of blemishes and things like that. After continuing to use this product for a few weeks my skin was completely clear, which I definitely put down to using this serum. You just have to be willing to go through the little 'spotty/clearing everything out phase'. After that really long back story, my original tube had ran out and when I came around to repurchasing I'd noticed they had reformulated and came out with the + version said to have an anti-mark effect. Even though my skin is generally pretty clear after most of the time, after I've have a breakout it does tend to leave a few marks. I wish I had taken some sort of before and after picture, when I first bought it I had some scarring around my temples and chin and since using this product for a few months, they have almost completely gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't use this product everyday like I used to as I've been trying out a few different serums, however if for any reason my skin starts to go a little cray I always come back to this as I know it will calm it down and clear everything out. The product also has a really nice consistency, it's a white gel like formula which isn't harsh or irritating at all on the skin which I generally find a lot of products targeted at oily/blemish prone skin are. I really recommend this product if you have some leftover scarring or want to have a little skin detox/clear up. The reformulated + version even has a 'clearer skin or your money back' incentive on the front.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Have you tried this product or any other things from the La Roche Posay range?</div>

Yesterday was dad's birthday, I made him a large piece of flapjack smothered in dark chocolate and also bought him a few Bath Ales bottles.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unluckily for him he had to go in for a boring meeting in the morning but for the afternoon, me and mum hopped on the train to meet him for some lunch. We went to the Cote Brasserie in in the centre of Bath, which was recommended by my aunty Jo who came and joined us on her lunch break.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we arrived around half twelve, all of the outside seating was empty so although we had reserved a table we opted for one in the sunshine. I could not get over how amazing the weather was, it was actually hot and it literally felt like we were in France or Spain not (usually rainy) England. I instantly regretted wearing a wooly jumper, which I've temporarily nabbed from my friend Chelsea. Clever me didn't even wear a vest top underneath so I had make-do.</div>

With empty plates all round, it was time for desert I chose lemon sorbet as I needed something a little cooling!</div>

By the time we were finished, the whole patio and terrace of the restaurant were full and people were queuing to get a table so it's definitely best to get there a little bit earlier as they don't reserve outside tables. </div>

With Ed being back from uni for the weekend I decided to drag him along to Suspension Bridge with me, even though we're both from Bristol neither of us have been there for years and I'd forgot how nice it is. So Saturday afternoon we decided to take a little trip up there in Lucy - the Ka. After getting stressed out with the satnav and doing the best parallel park of my life <i>had to get that one in there </i>we made it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you make a trip to the Suspension Bridge or are passing through Clifton it's definitely worth paying a visit to the Avon Gorge Hotel and having a drink out on the balcony, the view is gorgeous! Just be warned, as soon as the sun comes it out does get verrry busy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I spent the rest of the weekend curry'ing, bbq'ing, working and brownie making - Toberlone brownies... Let me know if you'd like me to do a post on the recipe it's a good'un. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What have you been up to this weekend? </div>

When I opened this little parcel yesterday morning, I realised I may have gone a little cleaner crazy but hey-ho it was 40% so what better excuse. I haven't shopped in The Body Shop for years, it always reminds of going in when I was younger and picking up a new body butter. Recently it seems they've stepped up their game, so I thought I'd pick up a few bit and pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think the Vitamin E range is possibly one of the newer or revamped collections that The Body Shop has bought out, after hearing lots of hype around the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/shop-by-range/vitamin-e/vitamin-e-overnight-serum-in-oil-28ml.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Overnight Serum-In-Oil</a>. I thought I'd pick this one up as I love trying out new treatments. It's an oil formula which says it works overnight to help replenish and recharge skins moisture. Alongside that I also got a mini version of the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/shop-by-range/vitamin-e/vitamin-e-cream-cleanser.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vitamin E Cream Cleanser</a>, which says it 'removes grime and makeup and leaves the skin soft and supple'. After reading that I've decided I really don't like the words grime and supple but hopefully I'll enjoy the cleanser. Finally from the Vitamin E range was the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/shop-by-range/vitamin-e/vitamin-e-lip-care-spf-15.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">lip balm</a>, I did want to get the one from the Aloe Vera range but it was out of stock so I went for this one instead because I liked the fact it has an SPF in it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From the Aloe range I picked up a mini <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/shop-by-range/aloe/aloe-calming-facial-cleanser.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cleanser</a> and <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/shop-by-range/aloe/aloe-calming-toner.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">toner</a>. The main reason I picked up mini's was so that I could give a few different things a try but also they will be good for taking on my summer holidays. The Aloe Vera range is promoted towards sensitive skin, which although I don't necessarily have I do like to use products which are calming and gentle.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last but not least I got the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/shop-by-range/camomile/camomile-silky-cleansing-oil.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil</a> - there wasn't a mini version. I've heard a lot of good things about the cleansing butter from this range but I've never tried and oil before and since it was such a good offer I decided to give this one a try instead. It claims to 'effortlessly lift away impurities and even remove waterproof makeup' you just massage it in to dry skin and use warm water to remove.</div>

As you know I'm on a makeup spending ban this month so as much as I wanted to, I resisted adding the Honey Bronzer to my basket, maybe next month...</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Last Thursday Cabot Circus <i>(which is main shopping centre in Bristol for anyone wondering!)</i> held a special shopping event, VIB - Very Important Bristolians. Athough the name was a bit of gimmick, it was a really fun evening. I attended a small blogger meet up, held in Quakers Friars where I met some lovely bloggers including Josephine from <a href="http://stylebyjosephine.looklab.dk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Style by Josephine</a>. We had some bubbly from the Harvey Nichols bar and listened to the beautiful swing band. I even had a go at the Spin the Wheel Game, where there were loads of fun prizes up for grabs. Around the marquee there were lot's of different spring and summer trends being modelled from various shops and brands available in Cabot Circus including Mango, Fred Perry and The White Company. Thank you to the lovely girls from Graylings for organising the meet up!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Afterwards I met up with my friend Chloe, to have a look at the goings on in Cabot Circus. Loads of the shops and restaurants were running exclusive discounts, promotions and competitions. Alongside the the Spin the Wheel game, there was also 'Hook the Handbag' with the top prize being a gorgeous fuchsia pink Michael Kors bag - I am rather envious of whoever took that home! There were also mini beauty pods offering a range of different quick fix treatments, Frankie and Benny's mixing up a variety of mocktails, we even met Will and Kate!.. Not really but Heart.fm were there promoting their competition for a trip to London. We finished off the evening with huge meal in Frankie and Benny's, I went for the chicken burger and fries, delicious! I also picked up a few things in Primark if you'd like to see what I got in a future post...</div>

Hello everyone, I hope you had a lovely month! Here are some things I've been loving throughout March...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://uk.spacenk.com/drift-away-body-wash/MUK400005001.html#BVRRWidgetID" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Space NK Drift Away Body Wash</a> - I have the smaller version of this product, which I couldn't find on the website but I've left a link to full size bottle which retails at £12.50 for 350ml. This body wash is perfect for an evening bath or shower, as the name suggests it literally just smells relaxation, <i>does that even make sense?</i> In the morning I like to use fresh, citrusy scents to wake me up but for the evening I want something which is a little more calming. I thought this body wash was going to contain lavender as that's usually the typical relaxing scent, but the main scents are actually are vanilla, jasmine and rose, which just make you feel really relaxed and ready for bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Revlon-ColorBurst-8482-Matte-Balm_1416281/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Revlon Matte Lip Balms</a> £7.99 each - It seems like even before they were released everyone couldn't wait to try these out, I mentioned how I wanted to try them out in my <a href="http://kathleenpavey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/drugstore-wishlist-spring-edition.html" target="_blank">drugstore wishlist post</a> last month. I have fully jumping on the bandwagon here, they are amazing. I have the shades Elusive which is a pretty pink colour and Audacious, a really bold orange which I used it in a spring makeup look <a href="http://kathleenpavey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/superdrug-blogger-competition-spring.html" target="_blank">here</a>, if you want to see what it looks like on. Usually with matte lipsticks, the formulas can be really drying but these are super creamy meaning that they go on really smoothly you can wearing them all day. I still yet to try any from the Lacquer range, do you have any favourites?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pastel Nail Varnishes - I didn't want to include any specific nail varnishes here because I'm going to do a whole post on it, I've just got to wait for the nail wheels delivered <i>beauty blogger problems. </i>Here's a little preview of one I posted on my <a href="http://instagram.com/p/lxgpzBgmbG/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> the other week.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Match-Perfect-Foundation_1281345/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation</a> £6.99 - I bought this foundation on a really miserable, rainy day to cheer myself and it did just that. Since not really getting on with the Bourjois Happy Light, this has been my everyday go-to foundation throughout March. It blends really well, has medium coverage and a dewy finish. Top marks from me.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bagels, more specifically <a href="https://www.waitrose.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductView-10317-10001-107909-essential+Waitrose+cinnamon+raisin+&+apple+bagels+(5+per+pack).html?storeId=10317#.Uzl5ESjstbw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cinnamon and raisin bagels</a> - I think I could live off these things, they are soo good. I've been having them as a yummy mid-morning snack nearly everyday - I like to toast them a little bit then cut up a banana and place the pieces on top then sprinkle a little extra cinnamon, <i>mmmmmm!</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let me know if you're a fellow bagel lover or if any of my favourites this month were your favourites too!</div>

Hello my name is Kathleen and I am a beauty addict...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I constantly find myself 'just popping' in to Boots, Superdrug, John Lewis beauty hall etc and leaving with several new items that I didn't even plan to buy - everything is just so pretttyyyy. So for the month of April, I've decided to go on a makeup spending ban in the hope that I'll still have some money left over at the end of the month. And that I won't have to drive around super economically because I bought a new foundation instead of half a tank of petrol, <i>please tell me I'm not the only one?...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also have lots of different things to pay for this month like paying off the rest of my Glastonbury ticket, summer holidays, family and friends birthdays plus a years worth of car tax (the joys of growing up). Although I've made out I'm some kind of crazy lady who just spends all her money on makeup at any given opportunity, it's not as bad as it sounds. At the end of every month when I get paid, I do transfer a good amount of it across to my savings it's just the stuff left in my current account which isn't spent as wisely as it should be.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The ban means I can't buy any new pieces of makeup/makeup related things for myself for the whole month, to a lot of my friends this may sound like the easiest thing ever but you know everyone has their own weakness and all that. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'd love to hear if you've put yourself on a spending ban for anything before and most importantly stuck to it?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Wish me luck, Kathleen xxx</div>

This week Superdrug launched a competition for makeup and beauty bloggers, when I saw the post pop up on my timeline I was very excited to say the least. To enter the competition, you had to create an on trend makeup look using only three makeup products. After keeping up to date with the goings on at New York, London and Paris Fashion Week I knew exactly which look I wanted to recreate.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The statement lip was seen across all three fashion weeks by various big brands including DKNY, Rag & Bone and many others. In the past a classic red shade was seen as the most obvious choice for a statement lip colour, however this year Fashion Week took it up a step and gave their makeup bags a revamp, making orange this seasons statement lip colour.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Looking at the two images above the DKNY model has very natural makeup. Her skin has not been overly made up, with just a little amount of blusher and mascara applied to tie the look togther. The model also has naturally thick eyebrows, which I think look amazing paired with the bright lip and the two balance each other out well. The Rag & Bone models makeup look is slightly different and more made up, you can see that the model on the left has winged eyeliner and slightly contoured cheekbones. Also the DKNY's models lipstick has more of a glossy finish whereas the Rag & Bone models have a matte finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In order to recreate the look ensuring that I incorporated both of the images, the three makeup products I have chosen to use are foundation, mascara and of course an orange lipstick! I also wanted to ensure that all of the products I used were affordable and available to to purchase from Superdrug. As well as stocking all of my favourite makeup brands I love that Superdrug provides 10% discount to students with an NUS card, even more reason to try out new makeup!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>How I created the look - </u></b><br />
<br />
As the main focus of the makeup is on the lip, I wanted to keep the rest of my makeup quite natural and fresh. I chose the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/rimmel-london/rimmel-match-perfection-foundation-ivory-100/invt/541564&bklist=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rimmel Match Perfection foundation</a> in the shade Ivory as a base. This is currently my favourite drugstore foundation, it provides a medium coverage and blends in to the skin really well making it looking really natural.<br />
<br />
Next I applied some of the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/maybelline/maybelline-the-rocket-mascara-very-black/invt/720860&bklist=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maybelline The Rocket mascara</a> to my top and bottom lashes. This mascara has a large plastic wand, which initially I didn't think I would like however it creates so much volume and length that it has become one of my favourites. <b><i>Top tip -</i></b> when applying mascara start with the wand at the bottom of your eyelashes, then wiggle it from side to side in an upwards motion to create full and voluminous lashes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To complete the look I used the new <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/getting-ready/revlon-colour-burst-lip-matte-audacious/invt/844559&bklist=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in the shade Audacious</a>, which is a really vibrant orange shade. I've already tried the pink one from this range and loved it, so I knew this one would be perfect for recreating the look. I love how even though it's a matte formula, it was really moisturising and lasts all day. They formula of these balms are also really good, they are so pigmented and have such good pay off as you can see from the images below.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Even though this makeup look has been taken from the catwalk, I think that it's a really wearable everyday look as the aside from the lipstick the rest of the makeup is very natural and understated - this is definitely a look I will be wearing a lot throughout the spring months. I loved that you were only able to use just three products for the challenge however if I were to recreate the look in the future, I'd try it with a winged eyeliner for more of a dramatic effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope that you enjoyed this post, let me know what your favourite makeup look from Fashion Week was and what makeup trend you would recreate!</div>

Such a UK thing to talk about the weather but it really has been all over the place at the moment. My friend Sarah helped me to take these photos, it was so sunny and felt like spring was finally here until the weather decides to change what it wants to do almost everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However at least we had one nice day so that we were able to take these photos, I've never posted any proper OOTD style photos before. I was a little bit nervous as I wouldn't really consider myself the most 'fashionable' by any stretch but this is the kind of outfit I've been putting together a lot recently. One of my most recent purchases was the silver infinity bracelet from Black Tied, a small online jewellery company. I love how simple and elegant the bracelet looks paired with my watch, it is also really easy to mix up and pair it with lots of different pieces.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was the first time I had made an order with Black Tied but I will definitely be making another one soon, as I've got an eye on some of their beautiful midi rings. The lovely Laura from Black Tied also gave me a unique discount count especially for you all to use whether you are a new or regular visitor to the site. Simply enter the code KATHLEEN15 to receive an amazing 15% discount off of your order. The discount code will be valid for 5 weeks, so from now (25th March) until the 30th April.<br />
<br />
- Just to let you know applying the discount code is the final step of your purchase, after you've completed the PayPal step :)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let me know if you buying anything using the discount code, I'd love to see what you chose! Tweet me at photo <a href="https://twitter.com/KathleenPavey" target="_blank">@kathleenpavey</a> </div>

The <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/145/380/217-Blending-Brush/index.tmpl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MAC 217 brush</a> is pretty much the do it all blending brush. Whether you're blending a go-all-out smokey eye or just an everyday wash of colour all over the lid then this brush has got it covered. The oval shape means it blends colours really well without leaving any harsh lines, it also works well with any sort of product whether it be a powder, loose pigment or cream etc etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although this is little brush is amazing, at £18 it is pretty pricey. Enter the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/No7-Eye-Contour-Brush_1261143/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">No7 Eyeshadow Blend & Contour brush</a> - MAC's less than half the price twin. As you can see from the picture, they look pretty much identical. The only difference being this one is a lot more purse friendly at £7.25. The only difference I can really tell between the two is that the No7 alternative is not as dense as the MAC brush but it is still does the job just fine, it also washes really well making it a very welcome edition to my ever-growing brush collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Let me know any of your favourite dupes for MAC brushes,</div>

The other day I found these three Lush bath bombs lurking, unloved at the back of my bathroom cabinet. I received them all as gifts for Christmas from friends and family and totally forgotten all about them, I must admit I did get a little over excited when I rediscovered them as I thought I'd run out.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Top left: <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/341/Sex-Bomb-Bath-Bomb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sex Bomb Bath Bomb</a> <i>£3.25 </i>This is definitely my favourite out of the bunch. I love how cute it is, all of the colours and the little flower on top are super pretty. This bath bomb is perfect for an evening bath as the scent is really relaxing and calming. Lush recommend using this bath bomb if you're feeling tired, stressed or anxious. They also claim that some of the ingredients in it are used to soothe worries and even treat depression.<br />
<br />
I used this bath bomb last night, around two hours before I went to bed and actually had a really good nights sleep, which I definitely put down to this bath bomb. It makes the water turn bright pink and the flower at the top breaks down in to individual petals, which all float around the bath. The picture above is taken from my Instagram, which is <a href="http://instagram.com/kathleenpavey" rel="" target="_blank">@kathleenpavey</a> if you'd like to have a little nose through.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Top right: <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/135/Dragon%27s-Egg-Bath-Bomb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb</a> <i>£3.25</i> This bath bombs main ingredient is lemon oil making it perfect for a morning bath, the citrus scent is really fresh and uplifting. I never have time to have a bath if I have to be up early in the morning, but for days when you know you can have a bit of a lie in it's perfect. Dragon's Egg may look like it's the plainest but when you put it in the bath it reveals a bright orange colour, it also begins to fizz like crazy as it contains popping candy!<i> Never judge a book by its cover ayyy</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bottom: Christmas Pudding Bath Bomb - Sadly unavailable now until Christmas, however a couple of weeks ago Lush released their Easter and Mother's Day collections, which include lots of exciting limited edition products. After going in to my local Lush store the other day I now have my eye on a few things including the <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/154/Fluffy-Egg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fluffy Egg</a> a pink, sweet scented bath bomb. <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/6484/Rose-Bubble-Bar" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Rose bubble bar</a>, which as well as being my favourite type of Lush bath product looks gorgeous. They also have some really novelty products including the <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/6496/Bunch-of-Carrots" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bunch of Carrots bubble bar</a> and <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/6495/Golden-Egg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Golden Egg</a> which looks incredible. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Have you got your eye on any of the pieces from the Easter or Mother's Day collection or like me, have you ever rediscovered any products in your collection which you had forgotten about?</div>
