I did some live swatches of the highlighters on my <a href="http://instagram.com/splodgeofbeauty" target="_blank">instagram</a> story and sort of a mini review on 18/03/2018 - if you look at the "makeup" highlights tile on my IG you should find the footage there.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still yet to try the revolution concealers and new foundations sticks- might purchase them next week. </div>

The infamous £4 palette!<br />
Yes its amazing. Yes go buy it!<br />
Honestly this palette is great, there's a nice balance of mattes to shimmers and enough shades to create a look. The eye look I have in these pictures was created using this palette and I love how it turned out. Colours are pigmented especially the shimmers. Apart from one of the mattes they are smooth and blendable and have barely any fall out. If you're still not sure whether you want this palette or not, i'd advise you to go to your local Superdrug and give them a little swatch.<br />

I absolutely, positively, LOVEEE this liquid highlighter.<br />
This was my first time ever using one and I am SHOOK. If you've ever seen those instagram tutorials where they cover their face in this stuff, I now know why. Its literally liquid gold!<br />
No matter how full coverage your foundation is, the highlighter still manages to show through, but its like a natural glow, but a little more intense. Its hard to explain but this stuff is great. I'm happy with the shade I chose for my skin tone and think this will match a variety of people. I'll definitely be purchasing a few other colours in time for summer.<br />
ALSO when you mix this with a body lotion. OMG its beautiful!<br />

<br />
This highlighter is dangerous.. As in once its on, ITS ON!<br />
This highlighter is super pigmented and smooth. Its not as finely milled as other loose pigments/highlighters but it does the job.<br />
When I went to buy this online I didn't think it would be so pink, but more of a rose gold but its not, so if you're looking for more of a rose gold, there are a few other shades that are a closer match.<br />
This is one of those multi-purpose products, which is a plus for me as I am able to use it on my eyes and body and still get the same colour pay off.<br />
Plus for only £5!<br />
I put this on top of my highlighter for a rosey look and it definitely did what I wanted.</div>

If you've been following me for a while, you know that this is my all time favourite highlighter.<br />
I only decided to purchase a new one as my old one was on its last legs and i'm sure it was out of date lol.<br />
Anywhos this highlighter is hands down my favourite, its gold but silver at the same time- kinda has the perfect balance and is very pigmented. Its very easy to blend and easily buildable but a little goes a long way.</div>

In this haul I also picked up the soft complexion sponge, but ruined it before I took a picture, sorry. Butttt its definitely a good sponge, super soft but with the right bounce. It doesn't absorb to much product and the nice straight edge makes it easier to reverse contour your cheeks and nose.</div>

Today's post is a mini review on the new <b><u><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/oCh2" target="_blank">Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara</a></u></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was kindly gifted this by Influenster in exchange for my honest review.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First things first lets talk about the brand;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Marc Jacobs is a male designer famously known for his <b><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/oCil" target="_blank">'Marc by Marc Jacobs'</a></b> fashion line.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In 2013 he delved into the world of makeup and hasn't stopped since; releasing lipstick, foundations, eyeshadows & mascaras' that we all love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His most recent product; which i'll be reviewing today is the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/oCh2" target="_blank">Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara</a></b>, which can be purchased in <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/" target="_blank">John Lewis</a> for £22. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Packaging</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think we both agree that the packaging is simple but sleek.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the high end look and feel especially for the price point.</div>

<b><u>The Product</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The box was gorgeous but the mascara is even better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The packaging reminds me of some sort of kryptonite shape; can't quite explain it but i love it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The black gloss look and the metallic engraving- can you tell i'm a sucker for packaging lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>The Wand & Formula</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mascara wands are designed for different effects, this wand isn't my favourite for my natural lashes as its big for my eye shape/curled lashes; however when coating my falsies its amazing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The formula isn't fast drying and might be too thick for some.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot of the mascaras I use are more liquidy and fast drying whereas this is more like a paste- which I prefer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj12w4hKz84EPmv-sm_0HmZFvC1AQp2JEP-T3MZABIt4Nnj3TZp_S9jbW9ktRUgVrtXPP_fQby2_HHC4OVs9q-qAOaEZWTK5Kl-pnKWttKJQH1aPm4u-d1e3YqaUe8TA4zUMDHqaMuYZNIy/s1600/IMG_9127.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj12w4hKz84EPmv-sm_0HmZFvC1AQp2JEP-T3MZABIt4Nnj3TZp_S9jbW9ktRUgVrtXPP_fQby2_HHC4OVs9q-qAOaEZWTK5Kl-pnKWttKJQH1aPm4u-d1e3YqaUe8TA4zUMDHqaMuYZNIy/s640/IMG_9127.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are not many cons to this product in my eyes- apart from the size of the wand I love the formula and packaging and in comparison to other brands around the same price point; this is definitely a fav.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hope you enjoyed the post x</div>

Hi friends, this is a quick post on my 3 favourite hairstyles for curly hair..</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get asked quite a bit about the products I use in my hair and my hair texture, so here's your chance to get to know my hair lol.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got very curly hair, some curls are tighter than others and some are just waves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've discovered that I have around 3 different curl patterns in my hair and this is definitely a challenge when deciding what to buy for my hair.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My curl patterns are: </div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>3B, 3C, 4A & 4C</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the problems I face is tangles and knots so i'm always trying to avoid doing hairstyles which require detangling. #sadtruth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I do detangle I use either a tangle teezer or Denman brush, which ever i'm in the mood for. Personally the Denman brush defines my curls more and the tangle teezer detangles faster.<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #1d1d1d;">If you're anything like me and really dislike Mondays here’s some
ways you can prepare for them and actually enjoy the start of your week.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #1d1d1d;">I'm that person upset on a Sunday night knowing the next day is
Monday.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: center; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #1d1d1d;">I'd be creating the most dramatic scenarios in my head just to
avoid the day.</span> <span style="color: #1d1d1d;">(You ever
feel like throwing yourself down stairs in hopes that you'll break your leg and
not have to go anywhere?) Nope? yeah forget I said anything...</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #1d1d1d;">As of recently I’ve tried to get myself out of that habit; not
only is it sad that a day can make me feel such a way but I realised I should
really take seeing another day as a blessing and not a problem.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: center; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #1d1d1d;">It should never be that deep- even though life can ‘push us to
the edge’; we have to get through it.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Two months ago (May 2017) I was lucky enough to get some time off work and travel to Dubai.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The purpose of my trip was my parents anniversary and it was only for a few days but its an experience i'll never forget!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Dubai has always been a country I've wanted to </span>visit and I finally got the chance too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">We stayed in the area Al Rigga and it's definitely an area i'd recommend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">One thing I do suggest is that you do not travel during the month of Ramadan. There are many laws you must abide by even if you're not muslim. We literally fasted minus the prayer throughout our stay lol. No drinking or eating in public, waiting till 7 something to eat and it was definitely a humbling experience; because people are doing this everyday where its constant hunger and constant thirst and in hot environments like that- its a challenge.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">I took many photos this trip and I thought I should share them on my blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

One thing about the people of Dubai is that they know how to hustle- going to the Souks where they sold gold and spices was definitely an overwhelming experience; especially with everyone running up to you trying to sell their goods. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They see tourists meaning money!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A tip for when talking to these people is BARGAIN BARGAIN BARGAIN!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do not go for the first price they shout to you, majority of the time you can get them down to like 50% off the original price. Yes it's sad that this is their way of making money but you cannot let them take advantage of the fact that you're tourists.</div>

Before you question why I haven't posted in so long; please read the post first then attack me later lol..<br />
<a name='more'></a>Hi there, yes its been a while.. But I'm Back! I'm Better! I'm ready to get some content out for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life has been a bit hectic at the moment; I've started a new job, I've left university (not officially) - update on that topic coming soon . I've been ill and still am as I'm typing this but I'm tired of neglecting my blog and I want to really get on with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post is a review on one of the most hyped up skincare products of 2017 so far. If you haven't heard or seen of the<b> <a href="http://www.loreal-paris.co.uk/skin-care/pure-clay?gclid=CjwKEAiAlNbEBRCv9uy4j4SWrgwSJAB5MqJFfFnryRhDTEMGm5kncwzK9hlT4GtY_5IZ6280edn2exoCG6vw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=COKnlceE9tECFa4C0wodbvEAcg">L'Oreal Pure Clay Masks</a></b> by now, I'm not going to judge you lol.<br />
They've been out since last summer and I'm only hearing about them now..<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Background on my skin</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those that don't know, I have very oily skin. I'm not talking just a little shine here and there I'm talking OILS. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have bad acne scarring and discolouration too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Since about the age of 14 acne has been a problem for me; I've tried out high end brands and treatments, I've used prescribed creams and pills to rid of my acne but nothing has worked. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After some time I gave up and decided to let my skin do whatever it needs to do to feel happy and so I did until January 2017 when i decided enough was enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you may have read in my most recent post<b> <a href="https://splodgeofbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/9-goals-id-love-to-achieve-this-year.html">'9 goals I'd love to achieve this year'</a></b> I mentioned that skincare would be on the list this year and I wasn't joking!<br />
<br />
<b>*Side Note*</b><br />
<b>Let me tell you from now, these face masks are uncomfortable AF!</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I purchased the <b><u><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=530522213&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">Detox mask</a></u></b> and the<a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=530522206&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"> </a><b><u><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=530522206&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">Purity Mask</a></u> </b>roughly 2 weeks ago from <b><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=530522213&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">Boots</a>.</b><br />
There is a third mask available called the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=530522211&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><b>Glow Mask</b></a>, but I couldn't get a hold of it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimnsZUO73F3Us4Fgf5XLoZn5TEFaJjNcqme2Orqv9aKdM1Q0G5dPFVVImej20eDOY36kUZQTrKhRdTICgQq5GYEDsBwWxd-B91D5ypzZzAWc-dDV9ZueMjPMwjvZWDJoDmQvJEbO4J20M3/s1600/IMG_3178.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimnsZUO73F3Us4Fgf5XLoZn5TEFaJjNcqme2Orqv9aKdM1Q0G5dPFVVImej20eDOY36kUZQTrKhRdTICgQq5GYEDsBwWxd-B91D5ypzZzAWc-dDV9ZueMjPMwjvZWDJoDmQvJEbO4J20M3/s400/IMG_3178.JPG" width="223" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Detox Mask</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
When I first tried the <b>Detox Mask</b> I wanted to take it off within the first 3 minutes - first of all it's fast drying which is a good thing as masks usually take forever to dry.<br />
During the drying process it tingled and literally felt like it was extracting and clearing out my pores.<br />
<br />
As it dried and hardened more it got really tight but started to burn which was concerning.<br />
By this point I was already blaming my sensitive skin however I didn't have any side effects or issues after removing the mask.<br />
<br />
The mask smells really nice, I must admit the smell was alarming because fragrant products are usually a No no on my skin; but this was perfectly fine and saw great results instantly.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEh9xp2BZBu8KNWjGVkUiV6GzrO00e5b9KuiWNHjhEI31Hg7AMT6eu_C0Ydxy0UaWrtftU84_lD4X0Csbjpcp1Bo0hCSctanT8r-XqTOphvFEow3H6_Uva70rlWrZ5OKrnKDVu_mdQBHPy/s1600/Loreal+purity+mask.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEh9xp2BZBu8KNWjGVkUiV6GzrO00e5b9KuiWNHjhEI31Hg7AMT6eu_C0Ydxy0UaWrtftU84_lD4X0Csbjpcp1Bo0hCSctanT8r-XqTOphvFEow3H6_Uva70rlWrZ5OKrnKDVu_mdQBHPy/s400/Loreal+purity+mask.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><u>Purity Mask</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Like the name, I honestly believe this <b>Purity Mask </b>purified my skin.<br />
In comparison to the Detox Mask- this mask dries faster and is less painful.<br />
In regards to the way it affected my skin- I LOVE IT!<br />
My scars were lightened after the first use and my face felt very smooth.<br />
<br />
Not only are these masks cheap but they really work; if you want to try something new; definitely give these a try..<br />
<br />
The question is will I Stash or Trash these?<br />
<br />
Of course they'll be added to my stash; they've become a part of my skincare routine and I'm so excited for the day I can proudly say something sorted out my acne! ✅<br />
<br />

HAPPY NEW YEAR!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know this is one of those posts that most people hate; the '<i> New year New me</i>' BS but it's not, I'm simply putting down my goals for my own reference; to be able to go back and see how I've changed and developed, how my goals will change over the years and how long it takes me to achieve these things. I think everyone should set themselves goals, even if its to brush your teeth day & night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its a start!</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
For the longest I was dreading 2017 especially after how manic 2016 has been. My thoughts everyday were ' in 2017 I'm just going to go with the flow', 'it will take me where it wants to take me'; don't get me wrong I still feel like that lol, but with these goals I set myself, I feel a bit more guided and on track.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I said before these are <b>MY GOALS</b>, you may not agree with all of them, but its my life at the end of the day and if you don't like what I do then <b><i>Adios!</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Grow my Social Media </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Social media is something most people avoid talking about. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For some its overrated and annoying, for others, such as myself it think it's important. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Social media has allowed me to get where I am today, if it weren't for it, most of you wouldn't even know I exist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel that social media is like an extended word of mouth and has both its pros and cons. In my case the more the merrier, as much as it carries its cons; it still benefits me and my brand as I'm putting myself out there. In regards to blogging, having more readers is joyous as you know people are seeing the work and effort you put in. I'm specifically targeting<b> <i><u><a href="http://instagram.com/splodgeofbeauty">Instagram</a></u></i> </b>this year as I know that's where a lot of my traffic derives from.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Take More Outfit Posts</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being a plus size girl in this world is hard, with that being said being a human in this world is hard. There are many plus size girls out there looking for inspo and I feel like I'd be a good representative for that.<br />
I just need to take more time out and become more confident in how I feel about the clothes I wear. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Side note: I'm not the girl who takes pics in heels, you'll most likely see me in trainers or slippers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Being Organised</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm someone who likes to think I'm organised, when really I'm just one mess. As I'm typing this, I've got several tabs open looking for diaries and planners for 2017. I will be organised this year, specifically in the consistency of my blog posts, appointments and calling back people as I'm terrible at that lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Exploring New Places</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Growing up; breaks & holidays were great, we'd go at least two - three times a year and this was something I loved. As we got older we went on less but we still made sure to go somewhere, even if it was to Brighton for the weekend. I want to begin to make it a priority to save and travel. This year I was lucky enough to go to New York & Tenerife, but I'm going to top this in 2017 and make sure I get out there. Two places I definitely want to travel to this year is Morocco and Dubai.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Health & Fitness</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As much as I'm all for Plus Living and being confident; I also know the importance of health and getting fit. Whether it be eating salad with all meals or walking over TFL, I'm going to do it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loosing weight isn't the goal as of yet, that will follow on in its on way, and hopefully will be a noticeable change.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Skincare</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My skin has always been a problem, from about the age of 13, both acne and facial hair. A couple moths ago, I saw a huge change in my skin and I was shocked at how clear it had gotten; funny thing is, I weren't even trying.<br />
Then all of a sudden, stress, sleep and everything else on this earth came crashing down and my skin spiralled out of control and I'm back to square one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to say its as bad, but its definitely something..<br />
I can honestly say I'm tired of trying to sort out my imperfections on my face; but all I can say is, I hope and pray that this year I have it under some sort of control.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Being Financially Stable </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you know me, you know that I can't save. I'm starting to think its in my genes - from my dads side specifically; but I honestly do believe I have a problem with saving. I know it needs to be done, but some how end up spending way more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whether it be on foolishness or food, when I know there's food at home, I just feel the need to spend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I'm saying this on here, everyone is my witness, <b>I WILL SAVE IN 2017</b>.<br />
The amount doesn't really matter, as saving alone is a start for me.<br />
This year I'll be working full time, so I'm hoping with my wages I am able to save quite a bit.. and then SPLURGE on foolishness again lol.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Mental Health</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
I'd say mental health is one of my top goals on the list of goals.<br />
My happiness affects not only myself but the people around me; with that being said, I'm tired of how I've been feeling lately and I'm ready to change that.<br />
Whether it be removing people from my life, or seeking real help.<br />
I need to sort it out before it ruins me completely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Driving Licence </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those that don't know, I haven't got my licence yet. I was taking lessons twice a week, and to be honest, the amount I was paying was putting me off driving more and more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to say I didn't learn anything. I learnt quite a bit, but I feel like, if i really want to achieve my licence, I have to be dedicated enough and willing to spend on lessons, hence why the saving must begin !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a few other personal goals, that I don't really feel like sharing or are not that significant, but I hope you get an insight in to my plans for this year, and I hope you stay for the journey. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for all the love and support!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish you and your families a prosperous New Year full of blessing and success!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello Lovelies,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas and looking forward to the New Year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lets hope and pray for success and happiness!</div>

As you can see from the title, today's blog will be a review on the <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/"><b><i><u>'MAC Nutcracker Sweet Collection'</u></i></b>.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had my eye on this collection for a while, but just didn't know if it was worth the hype. I finally decided to go purchase some stuff on the website only to see the stuff that I wanted was sold out. (BTW there is currently a sale on the collection if you want to check it out).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily one of my lovely family members read my mind and surprised me with the <b><i><u><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=606623625&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">'Patent Polish Lip Kit'</a></u></i></b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>(sold out) in the shade Pink for Christmas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here you go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Packaging:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly feel this is one of the best packaging<b><i><u> <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/">MAC</a> </u></i></b>has had, not on the<b><i><u><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=615790784&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"> Mariah Carey</a> </u></i></b>level lol, but its certainly very cute and theme fitting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It definitely has that nutcracker vibe to it and especially with the colours.<b><i><u> </u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><u><a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/">MAC</a></u></i></b> really payed attention to detail on this one; even the little drawer knob knot thingy is cute lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><i><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=509430513&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">Lip Pencils</a></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These lip pencils are not like a standard lip pencil. They're rounded and more like a glossy lip balm; with a very moisturising formula. The product has the twist up function similar to the functions of a regular lipstick. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In terms of the amount of product you get, its not much however after swatching and using the products, I can tell they're not going to run out super fast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lippies themselves are lightweight and great for travel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lippies are definitely build-able in coverage and long-lasting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you've read my lip posts before you know I like to describe the smell of products.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These have a sweet Vanilla kind of smell which is very fitting to the collection.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back again.. I bet you weren't expecting me so soon 😏.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well this post is based off<b><i><u> <a href="http://splodgeofbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/best-nyx-nude-lip-colours-for-darker.html">my last post</a></u></i></b> since it was clearly something most people liked, so I thought I'd change the choice of colour today and target the plums and the purples out there. I'll also be doing a Pink series as pink is my all time favourite colour especially when it comes to lippies...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're only here for the swatches scroll all the way down..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Back to the lippies. I love a nice plum or purple lip but for some reason it will only work on me depending on my hairstyle. Yes that's weird but I'm weird lol.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'll be featuring<u><b><i> <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=493806286&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">NYX</a>, <a href="https://www.beautybase.com/la-girl-m557">L.A Girl</a>, <a href="https://www.muastore.co.uk/">MUA</a></i></b> </u>and<b><i><u> <a href="https://www.tambeauty.com/en/Revolution-Makeup/cc-15.aspx">Makeup Revolution</a>. </u></i></b>If you know of these brands then you know they are good quality and very affordable; ranging from £1-£6.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lets start this off with my favourite brand of them all...<i><u><b> <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=493806286&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">NYX</a>!</b></u></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I own a butter gloss and a soft matte lip cream. If you read my previous posts you know I love the <i><b><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=493806286&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">NYX butter glosses</a> </b></i>as they're nicely pigmented with a very glossy finish, not that tacky-sticky type of gloss.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The<u><b><i> <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=494142244&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">soft matte lip creams</a></i></b> </u>are creamy but matte which I love as it's non drying and quite moisturising on the lip. Both lippies are long lasting and just happen to smell like berries.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On to<u><i><b> <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=450166198&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">Makeup Revolution</a>..</b></i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These lipsticks are highly pigmented yet the most affordable lipsticks I own. These amazing lippies are priced at £1 and can be found in<u><b><i> <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=450166198&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">Superdrug</a>,</i></b> <a href="http://www.boots.co.uk/"><i><b>Boots</b></i></a> </u>or online at<u><i><b> <a href="https://www.tambeauty.com/">TAM Beauty</a>.</b></i></u> They are very soft and hydrating on the lips, similar to the<b><i><u> <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=369055388&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">MAC's cremesheen lipsticks</a>.</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These Revolution lipsticks can be mattified with setting powders or glossed up for the perfect glossy lip. In regards to the smell; I'd say they smell like lipstick lol.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirmWc6p-xMacV4sZp6AmuTExeLNIE9Pp5ZF6k29ypg1CLRg-1giSVQj5PA-_cJEPwAGLuNY9vK6iitEUaaSk3RBIPoF0t3dl5dFNoBQw8f6Z56Ll_JkMi9TACsK1U_b_Lj1vH-YCN5NqdU/s1600/IMG_2049.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirmWc6p-xMacV4sZp6AmuTExeLNIE9Pp5ZF6k29ypg1CLRg-1giSVQj5PA-_cJEPwAGLuNY9vK6iitEUaaSk3RBIPoF0t3dl5dFNoBQw8f6Z56Ll_JkMi9TACsK1U_b_Lj1vH-YCN5NqdU/s640/IMG_2049.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before Makeup Revolution there was <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=147179408&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk"><i><b>MUA</b></i></a>.. the only brand in Superdrug that was always fully stocked. This brand has been around for ages now and I can honestly say I wish I wasn't so stuck up and actually used their products earlier; it would've saved me a lot of money too. This lipstick has a pearly finish yet very creamy on the lips. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colours are highly pigmented and for only £1 I'd buy it for collection sake.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNwgU07uLJX3L7Cgoxnb8LFfI1QImq86eFO-PYWaluhOX0t4JwGJ20idlhtBBF7-9EHbxWdZeq-7ekdwkWZxv0Q7sBQBVLrhQ_4wRt77XrRvBLL2FhCd8Kpsj-yoX8dScEpwDkojuWz02-/s1600/IMG_2050.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="632" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNwgU07uLJX3L7Cgoxnb8LFfI1QImq86eFO-PYWaluhOX0t4JwGJ20idlhtBBF7-9EHbxWdZeq-7ekdwkWZxv0Q7sBQBVLrhQ_4wRt77XrRvBLL2FhCd8Kpsj-yoX8dScEpwDkojuWz02-/s640/IMG_2050.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally the<i><b> <a href="https://www.beautybase.com/beauty-c168/la-girl-matte-pigment-gloss-stunner-p32770">L.A Girl liquid Lipsticks</a></b></i> ( matte finish pigment gloss). These lippies are nice. They're highly pigmented and very easy to apply. However they do tend to be streaky depending on what colours you get. I find they're streakier as the colours get lighter, so if you're looking for a lighter shade be weary. Secondly when applying the lipstick make sure you apply the coverage that you want before the lipstick dries because if you try to layer on the lipstick it will cause clumping and crumbling, which is far from cute! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than that, it dries really matte and lasts FOREVER!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Tip from T: To remove the liquid lipstick use an oil such as coconut oil as these are very hard to get off with just wipes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi there, I'm back again with another post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time I'm talking about one brand in particular.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.co.uk/"><i>NYX</i></a></u></b></div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
Being a Londoner and watching all the Youtubers from the US use<b><i><u> <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.co.uk/">NYX</a> </u></i></b>was so aggravating as I knew I'd only be able to buy it when I travelled. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On my last trip to NYC that's exactly what I did; lets just say majority of my hand luggage was makeup lol #sorrynotsorry.. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No more trips to the US are needed as NYX finally decided to broaden their brand and make <b><i><a href="http://www.boots.com/">Boots</a>, <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/beauty/make-up/lips/nyx-cosmetics/?llc=sn">Selfridges</a> </i></b>and<b><i><u> <a href="http://www.asos.com/search/nyx?q=nyx">ASOS</a> </u></i></b>there stockist. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I found out about the expansion I almost fainted. NYX is definitely one of my favourite brands and the fact that it's in the UK means less money in my account YAAY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On to more important things; from the picture you can see I've featured my favourite<b><i><u> <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.co.uk/">NYX</a> </u></i></b>nudes. These are my top 3 lippies, one of them being a gloss and the other two are matte.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The<b><i><u> <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=493806286&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">NYX butter glosses</a> </u></i></b>without a doubt are one of the best formula for glosses; it's not sticky or tacky. The glosses are quite pigmented, long lasting and glide on easily. The applicator for all 3 are doe-foot which helps with the the application process and another plus is that the gloss also smells like vanilla or cake, can't quite tell lol. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite shade is more on the pink side of nudes called <b><i><u>'<a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=493806286&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">Angel Food Cake</a>'</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4qxIZVrJLIbjIMPpORSF97oMEDfQsRyEsKYJHjbTGllmcQT4v4iriRdO-Woo9Vb-8sosK4STlbTthIItyazaurVz7Bef4AJDr3-woLmpKtDdH7kp07VpBE4lSJOOEtIgbfyU1hMPgujzy/s1600/nudenyx2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4qxIZVrJLIbjIMPpORSF97oMEDfQsRyEsKYJHjbTGllmcQT4v4iriRdO-Woo9Vb-8sosK4STlbTthIItyazaurVz7Bef4AJDr3-woLmpKtDdH7kp07VpBE4lSJOOEtIgbfyU1hMPgujzy/s640/nudenyx2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't heard of the<b><i><u> <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=494142244&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">NYX soft matte lip creams</a> </u></i></b>then I'm about to jump through this screen and scream at you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These lippies are special; they're not your average liquid lipstick, the formula is smooth and almost feels like a butter, but then magically dries matte. Its not that disgusting matte that crumbles and sucks the life out of your lips either its the type of matte where rubbing your lips together is still possible. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The moisture in these are amazing; and the pigmentation too. They take about 20 seconds to fully dry when light coats are applied. The coverage is definitely build-able. I find patting the product in with a finger provides me with the best results; especially with ombre looks. For ombre looks I suggest a warm brown lip liner or a deep mauve. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shades I love are<b><i><u> ' <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=494142244&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">Abu Dhabi</a>' & ' <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=494142244&pid=uid89-35974717-10&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk">Cannes</a>'</u></i></b> these also have the same cake smell to them. Cannes is definitely more on the mauve side, but still comes across as nude. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All these lippies are under £6 which is a bonus and they don't give that 'ashy look'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SWATCHES</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The picture below doesn't really give the shades justice as it makes them look a lot darker than they really are.</div>

This post here is for the iPhone users!</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a long time I was an Android groupie with a <a href="http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/?cpint=mn_sonymobile_smartphones">Sony Experia Z1</a>. After 3 years of struggle I finally decided to convert and get the <a href="http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone6s">iPhone 6S</a>. I can honestly say that its one choice I've made in my life that I haven't regretted. There are the pros to android, don't get me wrong; but I just wanted change. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I always looked for specifically when buying phones were the Camera's Megapixels. I dont't know why, but I'm guessing its because I liked taking good quality photos. My <a href="http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/?cpint=mn_sonymobile_smartphones">Sony Experia</a> had a 20.1 megapixel camera which is very high for its year of release. There was no other phone out there with a comparable amount and I was sold. There were many other pros to the phone but that was the main one. This phone use to take the most beautiful photos; however it didn't quite give me the crisp and clarity that I wanted. So when I finally switched over to iPhone and saw what it could do I was in shock! By this point I knew I was going to start my blog and when I saw what the phone could do, I knew it would mean I could temporarily use it whilst saving for a camera. Which has benefited me in the best ways as those things aren't cheap!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enough of me rambling, let me get on to these 5 Hacks:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. The fuller the phone storage the lesser the quality of photos. - Now I know this is a hard one, especially if you have a 16GB phone that constantly says storage full. I'd advise you to back up all that you can on to <a href="https://www.icloud.com/">iCloud</a> or <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/">Dropbox</a> or even a laptop/pc and removing it from your phone. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh42PcT24kILMq9KGM05LvbXDQAMbC9gwnOccnDM6ztVRQK2Gzdselc0OuU-1V3nNZNdAk-uwfPqrUYg0n5fyQX1anzpMGLXDja5-zVpkbTmRgTJPPwDDlb8376ST1aPd17GdkgVjMPOfTF/s1600/storage+and+iCloud+usage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh42PcT24kILMq9KGM05LvbXDQAMbC9gwnOccnDM6ztVRQK2Gzdselc0OuU-1V3nNZNdAk-uwfPqrUYg0n5fyQX1anzpMGLXDja5-zVpkbTmRgTJPPwDDlb8376ST1aPd17GdkgVjMPOfTF/s400/storage+and+iCloud+usage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Use the 'SQUARE' option.- If you know you're going to possibly upload these photos to an app such as 'Instagram', the last thing you want is to have to crop your picture and possibly loose key details. This also prevents the use of third party apps that compress or stretch your image to get it to fit; resulting in lesser quality. To see <u><a href="https://splodgeofbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/how-i-edit-my-instagram-pictures-blog.html">how I edit my Instagram pics click here</a></u>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhueTGGCbnmjohQluYhWSoU7Ug-jcK_MyeJUnw0wFJ7N-rBmg4fK0jLBTo_Vq5Jbe-RMMDaRmJutOqA0Q0L8IWv12_euGxZgKmrBy3pp7UScF0yrP4wEh-m-mz7PXD8HjniK0gYoiaq_1hU/s1600/squarephonepic-1.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhueTGGCbnmjohQluYhWSoU7Ug-jcK_MyeJUnw0wFJ7N-rBmg4fK0jLBTo_Vq5Jbe-RMMDaRmJutOqA0Q0L8IWv12_euGxZgKmrBy3pp7UScF0yrP4wEh-m-mz7PXD8HjniK0gYoiaq_1hU/s400/squarephonepic-1.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. AE/AF LOCK- To have the images where they are more focused and blurred in the back, i'd advise tapping the subject (main item) and holding it there until the AE/AF LOCK appears at the the top of the screen. This also improves the lighting situation of the photo because it tries to find ideal conditions to ensure the subject is still the main focus.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGWApMtq1JxiIidvalgOQDgSiMSbuAlHwSpXPlOUm1z0p5gFYaJfRNj-Avscw-OrRYyWXQrilmH_36-jP1jw9hYauOc9QCz5CJ9CpiRrsOC4LawVx4lnBFMPaO6oQx2oRGsDPNNTMs-E2c/s1600/AF%253ALock+focus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGWApMtq1JxiIidvalgOQDgSiMSbuAlHwSpXPlOUm1z0p5gFYaJfRNj-Avscw-OrRYyWXQrilmH_36-jP1jw9hYauOc9QCz5CJ9CpiRrsOC4LawVx4lnBFMPaO6oQx2oRGsDPNNTMs-E2c/s400/AF%253ALock+focus.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Lighting- The sundial that appears when you tap to focus your image can also be used to lighten or darken the picture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is something i'd highly advise you to do especially for the times when taking photos in environments where you can't change the lighting situation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A lot of people use natural light for photos and I find when the light is too direct it washes out the detail in the photo, so by bringing the dial down it will make the picture darker and raising it will lighten it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYjOevPSas6Aj6Yop5dIRwgM_oel3G073o_F1uFYlvZymJn4KRc5fKprfIsAMBgefdmOjepg6w6F4TtBUKguFaf1XCv6OZRCV0Db85_al7gtRU__geoQ116jTDzLKSEqWvMq0WHa78evhC/s1600/sundial+dark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYjOevPSas6Aj6Yop5dIRwgM_oel3G073o_F1uFYlvZymJn4KRc5fKprfIsAMBgefdmOjepg6w6F4TtBUKguFaf1XCv6OZRCV0Db85_al7gtRU__geoQ116jTDzLKSEqWvMq0WHa78evhC/s400/sundial+dark.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Grid- Personally I prefer taking pictures with the grid present as it helps ensure the photo is aligned, also looking at the photo with the grid helps me to see if anything in the picture needs altering as i'm able to check square by square to see whats what.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To access the grid: Settings>> Photos & Camera>> Grid !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*BONUS HACK- Using your headphones play/pause button works as a shutter, so that you can capture your photo without those accidental blurs*.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope these tips work, let me know if they do!</div>

'luminous pearl' (this is the gloss you see on my lips in a lot of looks); I've literally been wearing this lip gloss for 4+ years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The gift set consists of 3 full size products:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This mascara is definitely being STASHED, it really does have the "<i>false lash effect". </i>I advise you to apply 2 coats for maximum effect, but no more than that as doing more coats will cause the mascara to crumble, and no one likes mascara flakes in their eyes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The formula is very smooth and has a drying time of about 45 seconds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In terms of colour the mascara is jet black but available in brown and blue also.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wand itself is decent for both top & bottom lashes due to the small bristles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see the packaging isn't too special; matte black finish with a gold accent.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On to the primer..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLhs4TpPyN_shUyMTknHVMSs3IrS8mOAjJ8WTuGX7G-7k1ot1Mvb35qNvslJ4ix3AWPqcj5GpDQ1E9pzVwADjBSe036YJjUhq5gY3I_CPr2BnhfRx_jAupNc53sV2RFr7kkWwAMdCajdXE/s1600/IMG_1507.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLhs4TpPyN_shUyMTknHVMSs3IrS8mOAjJ8WTuGX7G-7k1ot1Mvb35qNvslJ4ix3AWPqcj5GpDQ1E9pzVwADjBSe036YJjUhq5gY3I_CPr2BnhfRx_jAupNc53sV2RFr7kkWwAMdCajdXE/s320/IMG_1507.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <b>'All Day</b> Primer' is more of an 8am-12pm over a 9am- 5pm. This primer is being TRASHED!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried this primer twice with two different foundations and both times it failed me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have oily skin, but during winter I tend to be able to get away without using primer,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I tell you this primer made me more oily I'm being serious! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The formula resembles a very runny cream. When it's applied and rubbed into the face it dries white; similar to the effect 'Milk of Magnesia' has on the skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first I thought it would prime just as good as the Milk of Magnesia due to the similarities but I was soo wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for my favourite product; The lip gloss..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUNS0g0Flsxq97P5Sfk1-Ph0SukMu1GtBNsR-k7Da-kZ5fT3k2h3SmBBCfGYqhGWvkd_0YBESSuo7bdkNDDd8h-NDuP-TiFZxekyJtmSVee7OcFEMNQKRoXhO1I9Gadyz3sIYZevzss1sa/s1600/IMG_1506.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUNS0g0Flsxq97P5Sfk1-Ph0SukMu1GtBNsR-k7Da-kZ5fT3k2h3SmBBCfGYqhGWvkd_0YBESSuo7bdkNDDd8h-NDuP-TiFZxekyJtmSVee7OcFEMNQKRoXhO1I9Gadyz3sIYZevzss1sa/s400/IMG_1506.jpg" width="337" /></a><br />
<br />
This gloss is definitely being STASHED the formula isn't too sticky and the colours are highly pigmented. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has the perfect consistency and glides on nice and easy; it also has a hydrating effect and not that rubbery feeling some glosses have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In terms of colour you get a decent amount of pigmentation for a gloss, which is definitely a plus, especially because the coverage is build-able.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The packaging is nice and cute, in the pictures you can't see but the lid of the gloss is matte gold.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I think the gift set is decent, especially for a free gift, but even if it wasn't free I'd purchase 2/3 of the products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope this post has been fun and informative.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for reading and supporting! </div>

December Is HERE!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The month for family & friends, the time for giving and loving
and most importantly CHRISTMAS..<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>and the New year but.. were not talking about that just yet..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
December means blasting the Christmas bangers, getting out the
old decorations and realising we need new ones lol, looking for the perfect
tree and the perfect presents for the people in your life. I don’t know about
you but every year I still make Christmas lists in hopes that people will buy
me the things I ‘actually’ want. Yes, it’s good to be grateful but sometimes
there is no effort put in whatsoever. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Today’s blogpost will be a gift guide and some ideas as to
what you can do or purchase for the people that matter to you.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Nightwear/ Lingerie: If you know her size and you want to
give her something more naughty than nice, you can invest in a cute set; Satin
sets are a huge trend now. Here are a few places to check out that are catering
to petite, tall & plus size women. I know that <a href="https://www.adoreme.com/">Adore Me</a> are currently running a holiday deal on their <a href="http://www.adoreme.com/sexy-lingerie.html">lingerie page</a> where your first set will only cost $19.95!<o:p></o:p></div>

Makeup: You cannot go wrong with makeup !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tips for buying makeup: Never buy foundation unless you know their exact shades, and brands they use. The last thing you want to do is buy them an off shade or a brand that has a formula their skin may not react well to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In terms of lipstick and palettes, you can have more fun with these as most people can pull off any lip colour these days, as long as they can find an accompanying lip liner or colour to work with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'd highly advise you to see what colours they usually wear and going off that you're more likely to find the perfect shades for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below are a few brands ranging from affordable to high end, that I recommend you check out!</div>

GADGETS!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drones, Virtual reality & speakers are some of the trending gadgets at the moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/">John Lewis</a>, <a href="http://www.fenwick.co.uk/">Fenwick</a> & many other department stores are great for finding the Hi-tech kinda gifts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are also stores such as <a href="http://www.menkind.co.uk/">Menkind</a>, <a href="http://www.hawkin.com/">Hawkin</a> & <a href="http://www.red5.co.uk/">Red5</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If gadgets aren't really their cup of tea and they're more into fashion, i'd suggest customising an item such as football tees, shoes, slippers, even hats. Brands such as <a href="http://www.nike.com/gb/en_gb/c/nikeid">Nike</a> and <a href="http://www.adidas.co.uk/">Adidas</a> have certain items that are available for customising too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't gone too in depth in this post, I may do a follow up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope this gift guide was useful</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FUN SHOPPING !</div>

Hey there, if you're new to this blog, i'd like to say heyy, welcome to the family; and if you're a regular.. what's good!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This post is hardly done on blogs for some weird reason, but seems to be a very popular tag on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">Youtube</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was going to do a 'What's on my iPhone' type of post but I don't feel I have any apps that most people wouldn't already have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
Most of my traffic is from Instagram, so I thought this post would be best fitting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below i'll be giving you a rough guide on how I edit my pictures for the gram.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you may notice from my feed, I like to keep things against white backgrounds, this is just to help the product or main focus stand out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First things first I take a picture of my subject against the white background, ensuring the lighting is decent and their is minimal amount of shadows present. I also take it using the square option so that it's already captured in a way that will fit the Instagram square.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I usually go through photos and favourite the picture I want to edit, so that it's easier to find in the next app.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The app I use next is '<a href="http://www.facetuneapp.com/" target="_blank">Facetune</a>'. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a type of photo editor that's great for smoothing, whitening and correcting imperfections.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you don't have <a href="http://www.facetuneapp.com/" target="_blank">Facetune</a> I suggest you purchase it ASAP; especially if you're into enhancing and perfecting beauty posts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To get started..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Click on the little camera icon and open up your picture, i'll be using this brush as an example.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In case you were wondering the brush is from <a href="https://www.primark.com/en/homepage" target="_blank">Primark</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After opening the picture, the first thing I do is use the whitening tool to whiten and brighten the background.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<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: center;">
As you can see the whitening tool gets rid of the yellow tinge that lighting can give to white backgrounds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I click the tick and save the picture to my camera roll.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilRJdV1UrpIFzY9Dflr2EWt0eEnwJYzWBFbarMUPRDJhzGyj75ijnz_POd_wIrmfo0HFKb3w4wxPvWQFOyX-atTxoyKztuLlEP0ftofoIkijSel_Z7SjyF3MZayx1-GLbuRqwTs80USs9o/s1600/facetunesave.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilRJdV1UrpIFzY9Dflr2EWt0eEnwJYzWBFbarMUPRDJhzGyj75ijnz_POd_wIrmfo0HFKb3w4wxPvWQFOyX-atTxoyKztuLlEP0ftofoIkijSel_Z7SjyF3MZayx1-GLbuRqwTs80USs9o/s400/facetunesave.jpg" width="223" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the pictures been saved I then go to my second favourite app '<a href="https://vsco.co/" target="_blank">VSCO</a>' another form photo editor, where you can apply filters, and do basic editing; you can also post to their own network and view other peoples pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could go on and on about the amount of things I can do on <a href="https://vsco.co/" target="_blank">VSCO</a>, that's how much I love it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you've uploaded your pic to the app, you have the option to copy edits you made to a previous picture and paste it on to the new one, the benefit of this is that it can help maintain a theme, however it might not work out for every pic due to lighting or style of picture.</div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've decided to add a new category to my blog called '<a href="http://splodgeofbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/stashordash" target="_blank">Stash or Trash</a>' in which i'll be reviewing product(s) and stating both the pros and cons to the product, also whether I think its worth keeping or getting rid of..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoy this new concept of mine; tell me what you think below! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
To kick off <a href="http://splodgeofbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/stashordash" target="_blank">Stash or Trash</a> i'll be reviewing the <a href="http://www.bhcosmetics.com/" target="_blank">BH Cosmetics</a> First & Second Edition 120 Colour Eyeshadow Palettes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
RRP. $16.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In terms of getting this product to me, I had a family member in the US order it for me and send it back with my family that were coming to the UK. I know that <a href="http://www.bhcosmetics.com/" target="_blank">BH Cosmetics</a> ships to the UK now but you know that pain when you realise you still have to pay for shipping on top of how much you've just spent. SIGHH</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many services out there that allows you to buy things abroad without paying the ridiculous shipping costs, but me personally I have never used these services so I don't know how well they work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Back to the review, let me start with the PROS of these palettes:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"> Affordable - in terms of pricing the palettes work out to be around £13.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Variation - each palette has 120 colours.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Packaging - simple but cute, especially because of the matte black casing and fine font used.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Size- the amount of product is reasonable, if the content were any bigger the palettes would be huge, with that being said, they're great for travelling.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
CONS</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Weight- these palettes are quite heavy, which can result in the rise of shipping costs.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Fragile- these shadows are very fragile and crack quite easily, so if you receive broken shadows, don't be alarmed .</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6O3c0CciTbvA-FJ2ha7uJxsJTyPy65sl6OCuojNaGHBnxGvz_uORGH7viCoXehBcaxQuNkeg2KLGF1wYVNgjTfptA40cEOcpGVJME0-nts5P9UMxFNSj9tum49viLcDOAJC2KYaUG1JhN/s1600/bhcosmetics120swatch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6O3c0CciTbvA-FJ2ha7uJxsJTyPy65sl6OCuojNaGHBnxGvz_uORGH7viCoXehBcaxQuNkeg2KLGF1wYVNgjTfptA40cEOcpGVJME0-nts5P9UMxFNSj9tum49viLcDOAJC2KYaUG1JhN/s640/bhcosmetics120swatch.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">SWATCHES</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Pigmentation- this is my main issue with the palettes as the pigmentation varies between the colours, the matte colours can appear very chalky and non existent and the shimmer shades don't really have much shimmer</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than what i've said, overall this product is decent, you just have to be willing to work with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
CASE 1: STASH ✅</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoyed, Love T x</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just Finished A Series? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have no idea what to watch next.. Read on to find out what I'm enjoying and what I recommend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you know me on a personal level, then you know how much I appreciate <a href="https://www.netflix.com/" target="_blank">Netflix</a>. For the lazy days, the cold days and the bored days, you're guaranteed to find something on there to watch. If you have the subscription then you not what I'm talking about. Most of my choices must be watched by people of the ages 12+ as some scenes are not suitable for everyone.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/americanhorrorstory/" target="_blank">American Horror Story</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I rate American Horror Story 5 stars simply for the fact that, there has never once been a dull episode. The fact that every episode feels like a movie, is what makes it great for binge watching. I highly recommend you watch it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm currently on the last episode of '<b>FREAK SHOW</b>', which is Season 4, and I can't wait for Season 5 as it is finally on <a href="https://www.netflix.com/" target="_blank">Netflix</a> and I heard Lady Gaga's in it. From research i've gathered, there is a Season 7 being made right now; that will air in 2017! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/SonsofAnarchy/" target="_blank">Sons Of Anarchy</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sons of Anarchy is the definition of <i>Ride or Die!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A group of real masculine bikers who use their garage/ chop shop as a front for the selling of guns and drugs. If you've watched this show then you know about <b><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0402271/" target="_blank">Charlie Hunman</a></b> who plays 'Jax Teller'; can he just <i style="font-weight: bold;">MARRY ME!. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting back, if you enjoy a good action style movie, you'll definitely enjoy this series. There are currently 7 Seasons on <a href="https://www.netflix.com/" target="_blank">Netflix</a> and sadly I'm coming to the end. There are rumours that there will be a Season 8 starring Brad Pitt!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/once-upon-a-time" target="_blank">Once Upon a Time</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>REAL LIFE FAIRYTALE!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you've ever wished for your favourite story books to come to life, well your wish has been granted. This show is amazing, I can't even explain how good it is. You've got the stories of the Disney Princesses, the Villains and the smaller fairytales. All the stories intertwine to make one big story and it's just great. I'm currently on Season 6 and hoping they make a Season 7.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/80053653" target="_blank">Scream</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you watched the famous horror <i><b>Scream ?</b></i>; If so this is basically a series version to the movie. A town has a killer on the loose and they're trying to figure out who it is and why they're being tormented by the person. The suspense and the wild plot twists do make the show that much more amazing and if you like horror/ thrillers you'll love this. There are currently 2 Seasons on Netflix, but I have no idea about a season 3; that I hope is being made.</div>
<br />

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

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this is the post where I introduce myself and stuff..<br />
Just letting you know there were about 6 other 'About Me' drafts before this one, and I think I've finally got it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Name: Tia Vanriel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Age: Up For Discussion</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now we got the basics out the way, let me tell you a little more..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Name Splodge Of Beauty came about as I've always loved art and fashion from a young age ( this is where the word <i><b>SPLODGE</b> </i>comes in, like a paint splodge LOL), as I got older I developed a love for the <b>Beauty</b> industry. I admire the talents and artwork people put into makeup and its evolution over the years; yes beauty isn't just based on appearance, inner beauty is also very important, hence why I believe the word beauty fitted perfectly in the name.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I started this blog, I knew I wanted to put myself out there and be able to influence people in some way. My initial thoughts were to have a Youtube channel but I felt that blogging was more laid back and personal whereas Youtube can come across as a bit "<i>fake"</i>. Don't get me wrong, I am still thinking of making a Youtube channel, but for the time being; blogging is where I belong..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With this blog I hope to influence and advise people (sort of like a virtual friend) on <b>Clothing</b>, <b>Lifestyle</b> and <b>Beauty</b> as I feel it's nice to have someone to look to when you need a little bit of inspiration.<br />
This blog might not be help at all to some people, but if it can effect someone in a positive way, then I have successfully done something.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I am still learning and discovering who I am, and I'd love to have some company along the way..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you got a gist of me and my plans for my blog, thanks for the love and support. T x<br />

Am I the only aware that the year is almost over ?!</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
That time of the year is back, where TV shows are all spooky, all the sweets and costumes have been brought to the front of stores and your scared to leave the house past 8pm as there's a chance you'd be stalked by a clown 😊😊😊. Yes Halloween is here..<br />
<br />
Not everyone celebrates halloween, me personally I think its just another fun day to add to the calendar, however I love the thought of being able to dress up and look as crazy as I want without being judged. Below I have a last minute look i'd wear and things to do and make on the night.<br />
<br />
This year I decided to stay in for halloween; however i still decided I decided to create something that I would have worn. On the left is a Bambi look (the more I look at it, the more I look like a dog 🙄) and on the right is a skull type of Bambi look.<br />
<br />

<br />
Costume:<br />
Deers are usually all brown, however certain browns are unflattering against my skin tone, so I'd go for a mustard or black polo neck, with some black leggings and Ugg boots or a black tutu and some brown or black shoes.<br />
<br />
Things To Do :<br />
🎟 Watch a Horror Movie at the cinema with friends or by yourself if you're brave<br />
📽 Watch some movies in the comfort of your own home with loads of sweets and food<br />
🍬 Make some halloween stuff (idea below)<br />
🎢Thorpe Park Fright Night<br />
🎪 The Circus (YAAAY CLOWNS)<br />
👺 London Dungeon<br />
💃🏾 If you're old enough to go clubbing, maybe try a fancy dress party<br />
🎈 Have a party of your own<br />
👯Simply go Trick Or Treating with the Young ones like the good old days<br />
<br />
Halloween Inspired Drink:<br />

Hey there,<br />
I know it's been a while but in all honesty I really didn't want to come on here with another post which wasn't my 'About Me' post. Yes it isn't a valid excuse but is one of many reasons why I haven't been as active on here. Moving to a new place, starting university and getting settled has been very stressful and I've barely had the chance to dedicate time to my blog. I'm sad that the effort hasn't been there because I really do feel like I'm slacking.<br />
<br />
One thing I won't do on this blog is post something that I don't like.. after all it is my blog. I have been planning posts and stuff, I promise I haven't become a complete failure yet lol.<br />
To stay connected and updated make sure you follow me on my social platforms as I am very interactive on them.<br />
To all the people that have DM'd me or emailed me with messages. Thank You soo much for the support and concerns. You all encourage me to step up my game and to continue blogging. This is only the beginning but I promise in a few weeks, the content will be coming and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.<br />
<br />
Have a lovely week and i'll be back soon x<br />

<i>"<b>MAMA I MADE IT</b>"</i></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
If you can't already tell from the title, I am going to UNI !!!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be Studying Abnormal & Clinical Psychology this September in the lovely city of Cambridge at Anglia Ruskin University.<br />
<br />
<b>BACK STORY</b><br />
⬇️<br />
Growing up in my household going to university was seen as one of the best things you could achieve in life; from there on I knew that I wanted to go, even though I didn't know what I was going to do, i just knew that Uni was something I wanted to experience...Yes I know it's not the only pathway available to me but I feel like this will be the most effective way for me to pursue my goals and get to where I want to be.<br />
<br />
<b>WHY💭</b><br />
From around the age of 13-14, I always had an obsession with criminal investigation shows and mental health. It may sound weird but I actually believe that this course I chose was down to a TV show "Body Of Proof". Now if you haven't watched it then Go do that !<br />
As I was saying, the show is forensics based and involves a lot of crime solving; that feeling of piecing together how someone died and the hows and the whys entice me.<br />
A few years later when coming to the end of secondary school I was convinced that I was going to get on to the criminal investigative pathway and made sure of it by studying Forensic Science at College.<br />
<br />
<b>DROPOUT</b><br />
A few months into college I honestly felt like a failure and wanted to drop out. The work load was different, the amount of independent research and studying was stressing me out, everyone else was getting Distinctions and I was Just barely passing. I was discouraged..<br />
It didn't help that the support provided by my college was crap, on top of that I was going through my own issues, which will later be discussed in another blogpost about 'Depression & Paranoia'.<br />
I felt that if I dropped out everyone would judge me and i'd disappoint my family, so I carried on with the support from friends, and pushed through till the end. It was an unsteady and bumpy journey but i got there in the end.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>RESULTS 📄</b><br />
This is the part where it gets sticky because Boyyyyy was my results messed up. My College was a real joke when it came to grading and giving feedback. It was an unorganised and judgmental place but we can save that rant for another time.<br />
I left college with the grades MMP; that wasn't expected if I'm being completely honest but my grades did have an impact on the Universities I applied too.<br />
I underestimated myself and applied to places I knew would accept the lowest of grades because I was so scared I would fail and not get into any of my choices.<br />
In the end I cleared my self of my firm choice and decided to go through clearing.<br />
<br />
<b>PRESENT DAY</b><br />
I am now going to be a student at Anglia Ruskin University and I can proudly say<br />
I MADE IT 🎉🎊<br />
