Hey guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To start with ... How long has it been since I looked back and cringed at my previous ramblings? 9 months to be exact!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Woooooops.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anywho, today's post is totally not beauty related but I'd liked to share something I've been working on for a while now. So, here it is. </div>

A link to my cutesy little Etsy shop. I sell my own paintings (all original designs, made by me) and I absolutely love making them! I'd love if you could have a look!</div>

Here's a little outfit that I would love, love, love to wear on a night out... Once my Christmas belly disappears!</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/AVvXsEi-OA8MrJjliSs75Xczva0a1JqtJ1iGpid96IqrIs2ofysB8kPmpYimFTamJlrXVxLvJqJLAzzGvmZMFvXn63uFWgTbHBNkp6HI8rME1Hlmh-Vu3ROg82TwPmjPZ-O8OtJNd_0QiDz8Bvo/s1600/Untitled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-OA8MrJjliSs75Xczva0a1JqtJ1iGpid96IqrIs2ofysB8kPmpYimFTamJlrXVxLvJqJLAzzGvmZMFvXn63uFWgTbHBNkp6HI8rME1Hlmh-Vu3ROg82TwPmjPZ-O8OtJNd_0QiDz8Bvo/s640/Untitled.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=8308734&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=crop%20top&pageSize=20">Topshop, Lace Panel Chiffon Crop Top</a> - £22 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a decent belly this would look absolutely gorgeous. I think it would show just enough skin with a high waisted skirt, without looking too fleshy!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=1&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=6165842&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208530&parent_categoryId=203984&pageSize=200">Topshop, Oxblood Speckle Skater Skirt </a>- £16</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love the colour and detail of this, it's simple, yet would add enough colour with the crop top! Absolutely gorgeous. I've had a skirt in this style on my list for such a long time but never gotten round to buying one!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.asos.com/Faith/Faith-Cadbury-Platform-Court-Shoes/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2362853&cid=6461&sh=0&pge=4&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Black">ASOS, Faith Cadbury Platform Court Shoes - £45 </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would pair this outfit with some standard black heels, every girl needs a pair of these in their lives! So easy to walk in, so stunning and simple and adds a little bit extra to those legs! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.asos.com/Made/Made-Mondore-Earrings/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2605159&cid=4175&Rf900=1468&Rf-200=11&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Brass">ASOS, Made Mondore Earrings - £20</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would probably have my hair up with the outfit so these beautiful little earrings would add an extra touch!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.asos.com/Ciat/Ciate-Bottled-Sunshine-Nail-Polish/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2566576&cid=5607&Rf-200=1&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Espadrilles">ASOS, Ciate Bottled Sunshine Nail Polish - £9 </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And finally a gorgeous red nail varnish. This one in particular caught my eye because of the small gold shimmers, I think it would totally finish off this look - All ready for a night out!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If only I had the money!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas, and Happy New Year! Looking forward to 2013.</div>

I, like many other girls, have always had a limited budget, especially since starting university. But, being the first week of lectures I felt I had earnt myself a treat... or two. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought a gorgeous black peplum dress from TKMaxx for just £12.99 and wore it out last night - it is super super flattering, is just the right length and looks great with a pair of simple black heels. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, my main purchase yesterday were these bad boys.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have needed a pair of flat boots for a while now, I have a pair of heeled chelsea boots from ebay but they are a bit impractical especially seeing as I have to run for the bus at least twice a day. It took me a while to find <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=21&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=6040641&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208544&parent_categoryId=208492&pageSize=20&refinements=category~[209968|208544]&noOfRefinements=1">these</a> beauties - since I don't usually shop in Topshop, but once I'd spotted them I couldn't help myself! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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

Yet another OOTD for you guys. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have moved back up to uni and it literally has not stopped raining since I got here - 5 days ago!! So, I decided to put on a floral skirt with some tights and a flower necklace to add some sunny and happy vibes to such a miserable day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm loving being back at uni but unfortunately it means I'm poor yet again - so expect to see some DIY posts soon! </div>

Autumn, to me, screams block fringe/bangs and shiny chocolate brown hair. I have been debating whether to get my fringe cut for the last few weeks but it always tends to become too much of a hassle to maintain! So, I thought I'd share some hair styles that I absolutely love for the Autumn season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My favourite of these images is number 3. Although I could never pull such a vibrant colour off, I think it is </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
absolutely gorgeous and pretty much sums up an Autumn hair style for me! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only thing that puts me off a fringe is the constant styling - my hair is naturally wavy and even after a tonne of hairspray my hair doesn't seem to stay put. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think of block fringes? Do you have any tips for maintaining a block fringe?</div>

I can't wait to have my own house so I can decorate it and have it how I want. But for now, as a student, I can only dream. Saying this though, after one year at uni I've learnt that student accommodation can be quite rotten and small touches can make it homely and much more comfortable to live in.</div>

I plan to have everything a cream colour with hints of pink and lilac from the floral prints. I've also picked up a mirror and some other odd bits, but these are my favourites, especially the bed sheets! The colours are similar to my bedroom at home, I love the 'shabby chic' sort of look, I think all the items are cute but elegant.</div>

I apologise for featuring this skirt two posts in a row, but it is too cute! My discovery has perhaps resulted in a slight obsession with high waited skirts - I ordered two new ones last night, oopsies - but I love, love, love it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time I decided to jazz it up a bit with a gorgeous jumper I got from a charity shop a while back - it has a gorgeous white print on the front which is very Autumnal and not too bold to go with the button detailing of the skirt. If I had the time I would have painted my nails a classic red to add a little bit of colour!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Autumn because you get to layer up and put on wooly jumpers! </div>

I've had a complete change of attitude towards shopping this last week. After having to fork out £500 on a new laptop my shopping addicted brain has come to the realisation that I spend a ridiculous amount on money on clothes I never wear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This outfit is made up from items of clothing I found lurking at the bottom of my wardrobe. The skirt so easy to wear- I've never worn it before (oops) - but I think it looks so cute dressed down with this plain black tee and some grey, lace up canvas shoes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How do you stop yourself from spending money on items you don't really need?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Despite doing a blogpost (<a href="http://www.beautyembraced.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/purchase-prevention.html">here</a>) on controlling the spending habit - being at home has proved to be very difficult money wise!</div>

You've probably noticed my complete obsession with OOTD's at the moment! I've gone through my wardrobe and rediscovered so many clothes that I've forgotten about - Although I can't lie... I have ordered a few essential items i.e. new boots and a couple of jumpers. But other than that I have found I actually have everything I need in my wardrobe. I came across this skirt in the depths of one of my drawers, I love it - it's such a gorgeous print and it's great for Autumn/Winter paired with some black tights and boots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also just have to mention that I curled my hair - such a rare thing to see! I got a pair of new GHD's for my birthday so I tested them out this morning. The last GHD's I had were the wide plated ones which I couldn't curl with as easily. </div>

It's my 20th birthday today - gosh I feel kind of old - and the sun is shining so I put on this pretty aztec print dress. I love aztec print and really hope the trend continues through to the colder months! But hopefully this is not the last of the UK sunshine! </div>

The last two pairs I bought are heels - not huge heels - but I need some comfortable boots in my life. These look like the perfect ones for me. I had considered investing in some Doc Martens but I can't picture myself wearing them too much. These look versatile, cute and they will probably last longer than my ebay boots. </div>

Let's jump straight to the point - <b>I am currently obsessed with <a href="http://www.asos.com/">ASOS</a></b>. And I'm not just saying that. I go on their website pretty much every evening to see if there are any new items I could add to my Autumn/Winter wardrobe - especially items in the sale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This outfit will hopefully show you why I'm so obsessed... it was a complete bargain and I absolutely love it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckKQL-I5gRCLXv06HsukHoTzYFvkIskW_XQ9hoNVtWQrpPz-UChM1nOITCU41taoD8VjdaXkKTH-EOfDlGOGdf8F8-Kn-Zz-43hjoIitm5nJyqoo9nfQr9wgb6JYep8MmrJkvCC_nLtU/s1600/Untitled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First things first, the dress. It is in a gorgeous, soft jersey material, there is cut out detailing around the waist and it is super flattering. I didn't feel the need to wear any jewellery at all because I think the cut out pattern deserves all the attention.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know if you'll agree with me, and I might just be old fashioned, but I find a lot of girls feel the need to show too much skin on a night out - usually too much cleavage and very short dresses! But I think this dress is just right, it's not too short so it won't show off your butt and it doesn't need to show any cleavage because the cut out shows just enough skin - it's classy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dress is in the sale for just £12.50! You can find it <a href="http://www.asos.com//Asos/Asos-Skater-Dress-With-Cut-Out-Waist/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2134028">here</a> (They also do it in orange). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Then to the shoes. They are to die for - despite my struggle with walking in them. But the colour is beautiful and it adds a statement to such a plain, simple, yet gorgeous outfit for a night out. These shoes, <a href="http://www.asos.com//ASOS/ASOS-PASSION-Platforms-with-Peep-Toe/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2075038">here</a>, were just £9!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so tempted to buy the dress and shoes in different colours but I'm super happy with them both - I love the simplicity and the overall price of this outfit. </div>

What do you think? Would you add anything extra to spice it up a bit more?</div>

Hey guys and gals! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been a terrible blogger... My laptop has been taken away because it sadly passed away, so I'm trying to get together the money for a new one - so annoying.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise I have lots of photos lined up, a zillion outfit of the days included! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just want to post a link to an art page I've set up. I've put up some photos of my paintings, as my aim is to get some money from commissions. I would love it if you just take a little look - and leave a comment if you like.</div>

I'm back! My holiday was amazing. We stayed in Kasteliades' Chateau de Lans which is in a little village in France called Lans (obviously), which is about an hour and a half from Lyon. The chateau we stayed in was beautiful, I can't describe it in words so I'll just show you a few pictures - I hope they capture how gorgeous it was there! </div>

Hey guys, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, my last post was about a date I went on with my supervisor. Well, I got the dreaded 'let's be friends' text last night which was so unexpected and pretty upsetting. So what did I do?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Ate a LOT of chocolate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Ate a tub of ben and jerries.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Had a bottle of wine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Watched sad films until I fell asleep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Very typical girl therapy but I'm still a bit down in the dumps. Although, it probably happened that way for a reason so I'm trying not to dwell on it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moving swiftly on (before I get too depressed about my love life). I want to apologise for being really rubbish with blogging lately, I know, I suck. Life takes over sometimes. BUT I will be back into the swing of things when I return from holiday, honest I will this time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
YAY I'm going on holiday. My first holiday in 4 years, yippeeeeee. I am going to France for two lovely long weeks and taking a well deserved break. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be back in 2 weeks with a post ready!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love you guys and thanks for sticking with me</div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I'm sure you guys have had some sort of struggle with spending before whether it's been simply having to restrain yourself from spending or having been in a situation of desperation. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I have been in both of these situations. As my mum would say to me, 'money burns a hole in your pocket'. </span><span style="background-color: white;">Whenever I leave the house I come back with some form of beauty or fashion purchase - for instance yesterday I went with my mum on the weekly grocery shop and ended up spending £20 on sandals and skin care (I'll show you in my next post). But the products are, more often than not, unnecessary buys! And I need to stop spending because my holiday is fast approaching and as a university student, I should be saving it for essentials.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few tips to stop the splurging. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Money doesn't grow on trees. Earn it where ever possible - work, chores, selling items - whatever you enjoy/feel like doing. Whether it is a big pay cheque at the end or a few pounds, it all adds up!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Don't take your purse everywhere you go! Leave the bank cards at home and take enough cash with you for emergencies and travel - this way you can't spend too much and regret it later (unless, of course, you have a very generous friend by your side at the time).</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Keep the change. Have a money pot, put any coins that are bulking out your purse into a jar and you'll soon save up. Another idea is a swear jar / moan jar / negativity jar, putting money into the pot will make you change your actions for the better and help you save at the same time.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are my 3 little tips... I didn't want to bombard you guys with an essay today, because lets face it I'm more than likely to go against these rules anyway and splurge sometimes but I think it is good to keep them in mind! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you're all enjoying your day - Especially in the UK, it's a scorcher!</div>

I - amazingly - got asked out on a date by my supervisor at work when I returned home from university. First dates are always a nightmare - nerves kick in concerning what outfit to wear, what make-up look to go for and how to generally act. They always seem to be such a big deal because you want to make a good impression - even if you know them already! And the supervisor status just added to the stress.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully it went extremely well. He took me to a little restaurant in his town which was super friendly and had that 'community' spirit which I absolutely loved. The atmosphere helped put us both at ease and the date could not have gone any better, which was a huge relief and it has made me a very happy girl indeed!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I went for a very simple outfit. I paired a plain t-shirt with a striped cardigan and some skinny jeans and jazzed it up a little bit with a silver collar necklace from H&M and my heeled Chelsea boots from Ebay. As one of my friends said, 'you don't want to give all your goods at once'. So I kept it plain and simple yet classy enough to make me feel good about myself and more to the point </span><i style="background-color: white;">confident</i><span style="background-color: white;">! </span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept the make-up simple too - I think a huge amount of makeup can potentially scare a guy away. So, I applied a base of <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/17-BB-Blemish-Balm-All-In-One-Magic-Make-up-SPF-15_1238113/">17's BB cream</a> in medium with a touch of <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Wake-Me-Up-Concealer_1253837/">Rimmel's Wake Me Up concealer</a> to conceal any little blemishes. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Max-Factor-Miracle-Touch-Creamy-Blusher_870453/">Maxfactor's cream blusher</a> in 'soft pink' added a subtle hint of colour to the cheeks without making me look like I was caked in product. I curled my upper lashes and used a coat <a href="http://www.yves-rocher.co.uk/control/product/~category_id=2210/~pcategory=2000/~product_id=W87489?cmSrc=Category">Yves Rocher mascara in Black</a> (from a previous Glossybox). I didn't apply this on the bottom lashes because it transfers quite easily! </div>

<span style="background-color: white;">To finish the makeup off I used a little bit of the rose tinted vaseline on my lips, and that was it. It was a very natural, dewy, Spring makeup. And that's that. There is another date to come, so I will be sure to show you guys how I dress then.</span></div>

So I've returned from uni, my holiday to France is fast approaching and the weather in the UK is taking it's time to brighten up... My cure = make-up!!</div>

I unsubscribed from Glossybox after their June box... BUT if you remember reading my first Glossybox post (their birthday box) you'd remember I got the collection 2000 eyeliner in gold and, initially, I was very disappointed with it... Well, I have worked with it for a while and here's how I love to use it.</div>

I am not one for heavy eye makeup, so the subtle gold colour on the lower lash line isn't too 'in your face'. I love it! It is so summery, subtle, and enhances my eye colour.</div>

Hey guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So my exams are officially over (YAY) which means I am able to get back into relax mode! I hope that all of your exams went okay if you had any in the last couple of months, I know it is such a relief to get them out of the way! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cannot believe that it is nearly the end of my first year at university so in two weeks I will be moving out of halls and back home for the summer. The next two weeks are going to be extremely busy for me as I have got onto a volunteering week which is 9-6 Monday-Friday (my days haven't been that long for years) and then I obviously need to pack and then there's a week of celebrations for the end of the university year! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, enough about my life... As you probably know, the UK had a week of absolutely GORGEOUS weather during my exam period, so I thought I'd show you one of my outfits. The day was lovely, so despite having a lot of revision to do, me and some friends sat outside all day with pimms and cider and just relaxed with our books... it was heaven! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Hey guys! I hope you're not too annoyed with me as I've not posted for so long (sorry)! I have two exams left so after that I will get back into a rota with blogging. However, <a href="http://confessioncloset.blogspot.co.uk/">Hannah</a> tagged me in her 11 questions tag so I thought I'd take a break from revision! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;" /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">3. Choose 11 people to tag and link them in your post.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">4. Go to their page and tell them they were tagged.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">5. No tag backs!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">6. You have to really tag 11 people, not just say "if you're reading this, consider yourself tagged!" or something like that.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><b>1. What is the beauty/make-up product you use the most?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Moisturiser! I use moisturiser all over my body twice a day because my skin tends to get really dry. On my face I use either my oilatum or cetaphil. And my body moisturiser at the moment is one from bath & body works (a friend bought it for me), it's called 'sea island cotton' and it smells like summer!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><b>2. Share one beauty tip</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So this is a beauty tip that my mum always nags me about and I never do it enough but drinking water! I know it makes a huge difference to your skin and how you feel in general.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><b>3. What is your favourite thing to blog about?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I enjoy blogging about random events that may have happened - one of my favourite posts is when I blogged about my nightclub romance <a href="http://beautyembraced.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/romance-and-awards.html">here</a>... I like to get your advice and opinions on stuff like that :) - Those of you who read that post, the guy never came back so it was obviously not meant to be *sob*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><b>4. What is your favourite thing about blogging?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I really love just getting my thoughts 'out there', I think it's good to have somewhere to share your opinions because people I know often get bored of me talking about makeup and rambley bits and bobs! Also I love having my own little projects to do... if you can call it a project. And you guys are so lovely!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><b>5. What is your most expensive beauty/ make up product?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;">I'm not going to lie, I don't own any high end makeup so my most expensive beauty item are probably my GHD's - even though they recently broke... so I'm going to have to buy some new ones, bad times.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><b>6. What is your most inexpensive beauty/make up product?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;">This is probably vaseline. I have rekindled my love for the rose tinted vaseline (link)... it's great for spring as it adds a subtle hint of colour and is obviously super moisturising.</span></div>

I hate a naked nail. After wearing polish for so long it just looks slightly strange and now that it's Spring/Summer and the weather is warmer I feel like I can play around with different looks.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Apply a base coat - I used Sally Hansen hard as nails</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Apply any colour polish you fancy - I used my favourite colour of the month, MaxFactor's polish in 'chilled lilac'. And leave until completely dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Cut the temporary tattoo sheet into small pieces, roughly the same size as your nails. (I do this step first to avoid ruining my painted nails!). You can buy temporary tattoo sheets from ebay - my one sheet was 50p!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Peel the plastic off of the tattoo pieces and place it (pattern side down) onto your nail.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Use a wet cotton wool pad to push the tattoo design onto your nail and leave few a minute or two until you can feel the design coming off onto your nail.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Leave to dry for a few minutes and then finish off with a clear topcoat.</div>

I must admit my first attempt (above) was messy and you can see there are cracks in the tattoo designs... But my second attempt (below) was a lot better. For the nails below I used Barry M's polish in 'peach melba' to make it a little bit more colourful!</div>

Just a quick warning, this post contains a lot of photos (apologies)! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this month I took the plunge and subscribed to Glossybox. The main reason was because I knew they'd have a birthday box and I thought that it would be worth subscribing on one of the 'themed' months... </div>

I was so impressed and super excited about the packaging! As I said in my previous post packaging always plays such a huge part in receiving things in the post, so well done to Glossybox for putting so much thought into it! </div>

So the first item is some Eldora false eyelashes... I am so happy with mine because I will definitely wear them on my next night out! I will probably post a makeup look when I eventually go out after this stressful exam period! </div>

Next, Neal's Yard Remedies rehydration rose daily moisturiser... I'm not a fan of the smell of this. It does have a rose scent but it reminds me of the smell of a Barbie I used to have when I was younger. I may sound like a mad woman, but you know when dolls have a scent to them that is sort of like plastic? Well that's what it smells like to me. And I tested this on my hand and have come out in a terrible rash so not a great product for me. </div>

I was afraid I'd receive a shower gel... I have so many to get through! This doesn't smell particularly feminine, in fact it's something my brother would use in the shower. However, it is a nice scent and it's a decent size.</div>

Another iffy product... I don't use gel eyeliner and if I was to use it then I definitely wouldn't choose gold! I tried it on and it clashes with my skin tone and is really not flattering... Definitely a miss.</div>

And finally some Lolita Lemnicka perfume samples. They do smell gorgeous. But two perfume samples... Not particularly impressed, but is that me just expecting too much?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, what do you guys think of the products? What products did you receive?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a themed box I was not overly impressed... Despite my initial excitement of receiving my first ever box and the impressive packaging, I've come to the conclusion that they could have included something a bit more exciting perhaps... Maybe next month will be more of a surprise?</div>
