<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">I mean, I feel like I <i>may </i> have tanned during this past bank holiday.<br />What I also think we can agree on is that spring really makes you want to have a fresh, happy looking face. Whilst this is the dream, sometimes that's not the default face you wake up with.<br />In my case, I tend to wake up in the morning having slightly puffy and dark under eye areas. I'm assuming its genetics mixed with not always sleeping like a baby or as much as a baby would.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">But I'm happy to say that for the past 5 months I've been testing the bejeezus out of the following eye cream and can throw some conclusions at you.</span></span></span><br />

Origins has created some of my absolute favourite things, like the life saving overnight hydrating mask that I've mentioned <a href="http://thetreasurechestt.blogspot.com/2013/11/overnight-masks-kiehls-vs-origins.html">here</a> and in a lot of other posts you can find by checking the "origins" tag in this post.<br />
<br />But this is definitely the reason why I tend to trust them when it comes to skincare.<br />Now, I am aware that my dark circles are persistent little fellows and while this cream promises to make a real difference in reducing the appearance of the shadows, I was not expecting miracles.<br />But I have to tell you, once you actually apply this under your eyes, the dark becomes light. You have no idea how impressed I was when it happened! I had tried a number of other creams and serums meant to make your eyes look more awake, but none of them actually made the difference that this has.<br />
I can always rely on it, even on those awful mornings when my eyes sting and present me with new shades of red.<br />And I'd like to think that after almost half a year of using it, I can confidently say that. One more thing I was thrilled by, was the fact that the tiny pot that I got while buying the GinZing face cream, and which contains around 15g of product, has lasted me for all this time.<br />In all fairness, eye creams should be used in smaller quantities, but the effectiveness that is concentrated in this, is quite thrilling! <br />

We could be dramatic and say that it's been since last year! But we won't be dramatic today.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">What we will be, is excited! And I am so immensely excited to be able to share this beautiful scent with you. I have been contemplating about getting it for quite a while now, but I think we all know what the price of a full grown Jo Malone cologne is (it's around 90£ in case you wonder). So that added a bit of a rational element to the impulse buy.</span></span></span><br />

<b>But here's the fantastic thing that happened</b>: as I was catching a flight from Stansted, I ended up with time to spare, and in my wonderings around the duty free area, the glorious Jo Malone stand suddenly appeared in front of me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I am not one capable to fight the urge to smell their perfumes, I calmly approached the bottles. You cannot imagine the size of my eyes when I looked at the price and it said <b>64£ !</b> Clearly, that made my decision to buy this beauty very easy, very fast.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The scent basically bring everything together that I love: it's fresh but not Rexona fresh...it's citrusy but not lemony, it even is a bit musky and woody. And as I smell myself (totally normal under the circumstances), there is even a hint of sweetness to it, but not the kind that will give you headaches. If your nose can somehow imagine a slightly bitter orange type of smell, you are on the right path.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not to mention the fact that it lasts for so long that if you throw your shirt in the laundry basket, the laundry basket will start having a very pleasant fragrance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And before you accuse me of overs-spritzing, I don't. Two or three spritzers and you're set!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Basically, I am in complete and utter bliss each morning when it hits my skin! Have you tried any Jo Malone perfumes? Would you recommend any other? Or one that would go along with this?</div>

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">Over the past couple of weeks I've more or less purposely stumbled into the Kiko store on Regent St. quite a few times.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">In all honesty, there wasn't something I desperately needed, make-up wise, because as us beauty bloggers know, you don't really need half of what's in your collection, but you buy more anyway. </span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">Well, Kiko is kind of the ultimate encouragement to buy more stuff you don't absolutely need because they have SO many things to pick from, the prices are almost too good to be true and the quality is borderline unbelievable. </span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><b>I will tell you now, I like their lipsticks more than I like the MAC ones.</b> (You may select to throw things at me at this point).</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">Not being a red lipstick person, I found that their Smart Lip Pencils are perfect for trying out colours without actually having to buy a lipstick. Not to mention that for clumsy people like me, a lip pencil used as lipstick has the perfect staying power. It's great as a first try because it stays in place, doesn't smudge and doesn't make you panic each time something comes close to your lips. </span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">After being totally convinced by its red greatness I went ahead and purchased a deep berry one today (<b>shade 710</b>). The red I love is <b>shade 705</b> and I will do a post with swatches for them if you want.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">Also, did I mention that these pencils currently cost <b>1.90£</b> ? Let that sink in.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">Speaking of lip stuff, they have such a perfect array of shades that I always seem to find a shade that looks good on me. Like the very natural looking nude in <b>900</b> and the pinky coral in <b>902</b> , above. Corals look so awkward on me 90% of the time, but when I tried that on, it was instant love.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
I'm probably the most fussy mascara picker and the fact that I have found a mascara that is non-fiber and that looks like it would be, makes me immensely jolly. Cue <b>Kiko Volumeyes+ Mascar</b>a. One word: fantastic!<br />
<br />
And lastly, <b>the bane of my existence: concealers.</b><br />
I am now pretty confident that my concealer problem is solved. I will keep you updated since I've only tried their <b>Full Coverage Concealer</b> once, but already am pretty positive that we will be friends. Good ones.<br />
Usually it's either too creamy, too dry, too agitated (aka moves like it's nobody's business), too flaky or simply has not enough coverage. I'm looking at you Erase Paste!<br />
This one, on the other hand is the perfect mix and the perfect coverage. Rarely do I get excited about something as I do about a good concealer.<br />
<br />
Basically, what I am trying to say is: I love Kiko! There is not one product that I have tried that I have not been impressed with. I'm not even sure how that's possible but good heavens, it seems to be!<br />

What I can tell you is that since last time, a lot of cleansing has been perfected so I thought it was only fitting to offer a lineup of my favourites.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">I am still on the lookout for the ultimate cleanser but I think we're getting a bit closer. Each of these has one quality that stands out and if someone would make one big product out of these, I'd be forever happy:</span></span><br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><b>The Smooth Operator: Ekia Cleansing Oil</b></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">This one took some getting used to. In the beginning it kinda never really foamed and I felt like it was somewhat useless. Then I figured out that "damp" skin, literally means skin with just VERY VERY little water on it. Basically, you'd better go rub it on your dry skin, as it works much better. After that just add some water and see it be magical. It becomes oil and makes your skin feel so beautifully soft! And of course, your skin doesn't even remember to feel dry. The ultimate test comes when eye makeup is involved and it passed it with flying colours!</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><b>The Organic Bliss: Antipodes Hallelujah Lime and Patchouli Cleanser</b></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">This one is the winner in the "so organic and natural and beautiful I could die!"category. Just for the Patchouli I would tell anyone to go for it! When I first got it, I used it on and off but it always leaves my skin feeling so healthy and glowing. It's obviously less hydrating than the oil, but ingredient-wise it is unbeatable. And you can basically shovel it in your eyes and will not get any bad reaction. I tell you this because I sometimes "misplace" cleanser in the inner corners of my eyes quite efficiently and feel like screaming if it burns. But none of these three have any burning effect, which is something I am extremely grateful for.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">What I will say is that this cleanser is the one that is more for actual cleansing (aka cleaning your skin of impurities very well) and a bit less for removing makeup layers.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><b>The Best of Both Worlds: Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Cleanser</b></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">Out of all of them, nothing can really beat Burt in terms of price/quality ratio. While all 3 have really great natural ingredients and do a great cleansing job, the two I mentioned above are somewhere between 18 and 25£ while Burt's Bees gorgeous cleanser will rob you of exactly 9.98£.<br />It also has the creamiest consistency and in all fairness, it might actually be the most hydrating. (In case the name didn't give it away).<br />Since I am a big fan of creamy cleansers, this one is right up my alley. It's a super thick soufflé that just makes any makeup melt away.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">I used to also add a micellar water to my cleansing routine, but Burt's Bees has made sure that there is absolutely no need for that anymore. </span></span><br />

I had been craving them for a while but even in the UK, they aren't easy to get hold of.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">That's when I saw it, my soon to be favourite blush ever to have existed: The SculptDiva Blush in the shade Crave!</span></span></span><br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">It comes in a pot and it looks all creamy but actually, it's more powdery than I had ever expected. You can probably use a brush to apply it also, but I like to go all neanderthal and use my fingers. When you dig into it, you can feel its creaminess but by the time it touches your cheeks it becomes perfect powder. And the best thing about it is that it somehow stays in place the entire day.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">With powders, you tend to lose most of the effect during the day but I have never seen anything like this. It's pretty much a creamy version of a cheek stain. That is the only thing I can compare it to, in terms of durability.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">The colour itself is this delicious pink peachy thing with just the right amount of shimmer. On my skin tone it looks incredibly natural.</span></span></span><br />

It really just looks like I've had an afternoon in the sun and was left with a little tan.<br />
I absolutely love this thing! As far as blushes go, there is nothing that I've tried that comes even close to it. I used to be a fan of the Benefit tints, but this is miles beyond that as it really doesn't "stain" your skin. Plus, the box says that the formula gives you more youthful looking cheeks? Apparently you can see that within a couple of weeks of using it. Now, I like to think my cheeks didn't look old before either...<br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">Well this was the case a couple weeks ago when I started noticing that my hair might be in need of some extra love and moisture. It had become slightly rough to the touch and the ends weren't their perky little selves </span></span></span>anymore either. I am quite sure it had a lot to do with the heat and the wind that had been going on. Not to mention the dustfest it had been getting on every run along the South Bank.<br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">As I was preparing to look for the perfect hair mask or treatment or oil, or whatever was going to save it, I got a lovely email from Lily over at <a href="http://www.oldwivestail.com/">Old Wives Tail</a> asking if I would want to try out one of their hair treatments.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">I knew about the brand and I knew it was all natural and organic, which, if you know me, you know is something that instantly gets my attention.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">There was no way I was going to say no!</span></span></span><br />

Fast forward to this little beauty: the <a href="http://www.oldwivestail.com/collections/organic-hair-growth-treatment/products/argan-rosemary-organic-oil-treatment-100ml">Rosemary and Argan Oil Treatment</a>.<br />
It's one of those deliciously whipped shea butter based concoctions I go completely crazy about!<br />

All you need to do is use it on damp hair and massage it into your scalp. You can leave it in up to an hour or even overnight if you feel like your hair needs it. Then, just shampoo as usual and voilà!<br />
<br />
<b>The Result: </b> I mean....I have never seen my hair this shiny! I will admit to touching it like a maniac for the days that followed because it was so smooth and delicious! Not to mention that my light frizz was all gone and the mane was as tame as a bunny. I also had been having some dry scalp issues but you can be sure that those are long gone by now.<br />
<br />
Basically, I love this thing! And the best thing about it is that after one use you can already see the results. And the smell! Just let me talk about the smell for a moment, because it's like being in the middle of a herb garden in the Orient.<br />

Yes it's my First Outfit Post!<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">Well this is a first, isn't it?</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">But I am SO super excited about the hand painted shirt I am about to show you that I simply had to do an outfit post!</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">I had randomly discovered <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wonderparklondon">Wonder Park</a> as I was looking around the Camden Market a while ago and the idea that they paint on whatever you want on whatever T-shirt was instantly appealing!</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">Fast forward to my friend whose brain is on constant creative overdrive and who comes up with or revives the most fantastic words. One fine evening we ended up with the word "frohlocken", which basically just means "rejoice" in German. But it sounds utterly magnificent when said in German! </span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">It's a very archaic word and I am sure 99% or the population has even forgotten it existed.</span></span></span><br />
Well, this word sounded so great and fun and puts me instantly in a good mood, that I just had to put it on a shirt and have it with me. Especially on Mondays.<br />
<br />
This is where we combined this crazy word, with the great customising skills of Wonder Park and...voilà:<br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></b></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">Since my skin is on the dry side, it's hard to find a clay mask that doesn't leave my face feeling like it's about to tear at the sides. The <b>Good Things Manuka Honey </b>face mask though is doing quite a great job at cleaning without drying. </span></span></span><br />
I know the <b>Pixi Glow Tonic </b>and the <b>L'Occitane Immortelle Essential Face Water </b>are both toners, but where the Pixi one lightly exfoliates, the L'Occitane essential water restores hydration and plumpness so they complete eachother very well.<br />
I'm still in the trying out phase with the <b>Hydraluron Moisture Jelly</b> and was wondering if you had any experiences with it so far? I have not tried the actual serum yet so if you have and want to share how that worked for you, please do.<br />
I'm definitely someone who prefers oily and thick moisturisers more, like Shea Butter based ones. But this jelly type of thing is definitely much better suited as a make-up base, since it doesn't have anything greasy about it and keeps all of my eye make-up in place nicely.<br />
As soon as I try it out more, I will let you know my full opinion on it. So far, it's nice and cooling, seen as how it's boiling outside!<br />

They clearly have not been here too lately. I've been successfully dying of heat every single night for probably a week now. Not to mention the humidity.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">The plus side of humidity means that I always feel like my skin is hydrated. The downside is that you have to be careful what you put on your face, because it might just melt away. </span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">This is why I truly keep it to a minimum lately, with nothing more than a moisturiser as a base. With this heat, I cannot deal with any other layer.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">But you still gotta look and feel pretty, right? So here's what goes on my face as of late:</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>

<br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></b></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><b>First rule is: keep it powdery. </b></span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">Especially in humidity, you're better off with powder rather than creamy products. So while I love my creamy illuminator, I've gone with the <b>Soap and Glory Solar Powder </b>instead.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">And where I used to be the eternal liner gal, the current substitute is the <b>Wet n' Wild Comfort Zone </b>palette. I can either just use one of the dark colours for liner or create a nice tan summery eye.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">A immensely surprising mascara favourite is the <b>Origins GinZing </b>mascara. Yes, they make mascara. I for one did not expect that. And least of all did I expect it to be so great! Your lashes feel and light, beautiful and defined. Exactly my kind of mascara!</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">And now, my favourite new discovery: <b>The KIKO Lip Gloss Pencil </b>in <b>07</b> <b>Baby Pink. </b>I'm very likely to pick a pencil in favour of a lipstick nowadays. I'll make a separate post on these pencils because I just love them and for 3,90£ they have an almost surreal price-quality ratio!</span></span><br />

Thank God! </span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">So it means that after your skin and yourself have been hard at work, there needs to be some time to detox, cleanse and get some love. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">I've decided to give my face a breather and a polish to get it bright and glowy.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">I'm so glad to finally grab the beauty that is the <b>Pixi Glow Tonic </b>! It's not only a tonic but it also gently exfoliates. It's definitely a thing that is very handy to own. Especially living in London, you get a lot of dust and dirt and all sorts of unhappy things thrown at your face. I try to avoid the tube as much as I can, but sometimes it is the fastest route. This doesn't mean that when I emerge from the tunnel, my face is feeling healthy, happy and clean.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">So I've definitely moved my routine towards detox and cleansing.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">This is where the <b>Dr Brandt Detoxygen Facial </b> comes in handy! It's a 2-step facial consisting of a mask that oxygenates and detoxes (much like what the name mentions), followed by a detoxifying concentrate cream.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">I'll have a review on it up soon, but I can tell you it's the funniest feeling a facial has ever given me.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">And of course, to finish off and moisturise, my favourite mask comes into play: The <b>Origins Drink-Up Intensive Overnight</b>.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">Even now, after about a year of using it regularly, it still saves my dry skin so plump and hydrated.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>

I have finally settled in, after moving 3 times in a month and almost moving again last week. I've even managed to get into work routine and am slowly starting to find time for Saturday brunches in cute little cafes. Living in Shoreditch definitely has its perks!<br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: black;">I thought the same when I entered the Frankincense Shop in Camden Stables Market and saw ancient looking bottles of amber liquid.</span></span><br />

Reluctantly I started smelling them, and as expected, some just did not do anything for me, but this little guy, named "Adiva", which means something along the lines of "delicate" if I remember well, got my attention. It has that typical musky finish but is indeed much more delicate and once it hits the skin, it becomes even more delicate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The thing with perfume oils is, because they are oils, they last just that extra bit longer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can tell you this: it is a VERY unique smell and everyone has asked me what it is because they were completely fascinated by it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It comes in this little roll-on 10ml bottle and costs 8£, which is a pretty great deal since it last forever. </div>

Not to mention how easy it is to apply! I basically carry it in my bag and just do a quick roll whenever I feel like it. I'm also very sure I will be re-purchasing it!<br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">It's been a long time since my nails have been so strong and my hands so soft. I used to pride myself with being a heavy hand cream user and a nail care worshipper but I've only recently realised that I had not really found the right products to get results with.</span><br />
That has long changed ever since I started using the <b>Trind Balm and Base coat/strengthener</b>. Those two have made all the difference in the world and I can now pretty much scratch walls and the wall will give in before my nails will. I don't advise anyone to do it though.<br />
<br />
I cannot emphasise this enough: Moisturising is the key to everything!<br />
A happy face, soft hands and all-round satisfied skin.<br />
That's why I've stocked up on <b>L'Occitane </b> hand creams. My favourite is the <b>Shea Butter</b> one because it's so rich and creamy, but I'm a sucker for packaging, so the <b>Black Cherry </b>hand cream had to come along too. The latter is much more watery and not necessarily as effective as the Shea Butter one, but if you want your hands to shimmer, it has glitter in it. Seriously. <br />
I've only discovered it after seeing light reflect much to nicely off my palms. If I'd have to pick, it will be Shea Butter anytime.<br />
<br />
And let us not forget cuticles and how they can make or break the clean and cared for look of a hand. Nobody likes dry or fringy cuticles...as is to be expected. I like to keep them happy with the <b>Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream </b>and it has not failed yet, in almost a year I've been using it.<br />
<br />
So how do you keep your hands and nails happy?<br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: black;">Such was the case one fine day on my stroll through Oxford Street that I caught a breeze of Lush and went in.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: black;">I was actually looking for a moisturiser and had failed in different stores before because I needed something paraben free. This was a desire I had also expressed to the very lovely lady selling there. </span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: black;">So she enthusiastically recommended me this solid body butter that had all the right ingredients:</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 22.5px;">In any case, the first time I used it, it was as if all the beautiful things of the world had melted on my skin. It felt perfect and my skin has never ever been so hydrated.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 22.5px;">The best part being that even long after applying, it still felt hydrated, supple and soft. Without being sticky either!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 22.5px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 22.5px;">I'm quite the fan of solid body butters because they tend to have more good ingredients, like shea butter.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 22.5px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 22.5px;">It's quite the massive thing and with everyday use, it lasted more than 2 weeks.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 22.5px;">Definitely the best moisturiser I have ever used and all the goodness of banana, oatmeal,avocado, delicious butters, jojoba and all those great essential oils.... I cannot even begin to describe how fantastic my skin felt. And this was in the middle of winter, when we all know how dry and itchy some parts of your body can become from the cold, rain, snow and wind. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 22.5px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 22.5px;">Another thing I've noticed was that after I had run out, and didn't apply it for a couple of days, my skin stayed hydrated, as opposed to when you use other lotions that make your skin quite addicted.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 22.5px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; line-height: 22.5px;">If you're looking for 100% goodness and efficiency for a price that I think is insanely low for the quality you get, I say you sprint over to your nearest Lush asap!</span><br />

Well, can't say that I mind, because I really like showing you what I wear, especially during sunny spring weekends!</span></span><br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As you can see, I've included a clear nail polish to this, simply because clear polish looks quite fabulous. It gives you the right amount of chic and will always have your nails looking cared for. Now as I was looking for a transparent polish, I came to the stunned conclusion that I only own a <b>Deborah Lippmann </b>one in this particular "shade". Don't ask why I chose to purchase a DL clear polish for I know not, but I feel less guilty now that I actually use it.</span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A HUGE favourite for the lips is the <b>Yves Rocher Sexy Pulp LipGloss </b>. It keeps your lips looking fabulously sheer but also plumps them. It really does. I love the stuff! </span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On the eyes, I'm very seldom to be seen without some sort of black contour and the choice of the day is a <b>Models Own Kohl Pencil</b> which, I actually got a as a gift but am using ever so often. I'm more of a liner kind of gal, but this is a soft alternative.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">My favourite corner-of-the-eye/browbone highlighter is from the <b>Natural Collection </b>in the shade <span style="background-color: white;"><b>White Opal</b>. I have yet to find a more beautiful shimmer. And it costs less than 2</span></span><span style="background-color: white;">£!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">And then of course, the unmissable <b>Maybelline Color Tattoo </b>in <b>On and on Bronze</b>, which is quite the stunner!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">That is why I figured I'd show you some of my "most used" at this point.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></b></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">Let's start with the more surprising addition to the collection, <b>Golden Rose </b>in<b> Shade 40</b>.<b> </b>It's an interesting sandy nude that, to my surprise looks quite nice on me. My lips are that colour that alter any lipstick shade to their liking, distorting it just enough for the lipstick to not look like in "the bottle"anymore, so when I find something that works ok with said distortion, I'm very very glad.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">Then of course, my long time favourite, the <b>Topshop Lip Bullet </b>in <b>There She Goes</b>. You'll see in the swatches below that it's quite sheer, but it gives a lovely pinkish coral tint that makes me look quite healthy.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">Still from <b>Topshop</b>, another old favourite, is the matte <b>Lip Crayon </b>in <b>Coy</b>. I just LOVE this shade and surprisingly, it looks nice even on my still pale skin. Not to mention the fact that it lasts until forever and beyond. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">I'm just sad that Topshop didn't come out with a wider range of colours for these Lip Crayons, as the deep fuchsia and the Morticia red they have to offer, among others, are not really my thing. But keeping my fingers crossed that more shades are on their way!</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">And as promised, here's some swatches for you.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">I saw that you really liked my post last week of <a href="http://thetreasurechestt.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-sunday-face.html">The Sunday Face</a> so I figured I'd do this again. This time, it's a Saturday face, or really a general weekend face. Since I'm looking mildly healthier from repeated sun exposure over the past week, I'm going to be using even less make-up, but we still need to look presentable.</span></span></span><br />

As you can see, I'm still not giving up the cheek tint, since it really gives you a lovely little pop of colour while looking very natural, but have switched to the <b>Benefit Cha Cha Tint</b>, because I'm less pale and more warm toned now.<br />
Another thing I can't give up yet is concealer, this time, the pick is the <b>Soap & Glory Kick Ass Concealer</b>, about which I still have mixed feeling but am giving a couple more tries to be sure. Have you tried it? What do you think? I'll be reviewing it soon as well but I'm curious of your experiences.<br />
What I always grab if I want a fast and pretty fix is my <b>Inglot palette </b>that you can see up close and personal <a href="http://thetreasurechestt.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-inglot-all-in-one-perfect-face.html">Here</a>. It has everything and it is immensely effective!<br />
While I love the <b>Rimmel Lycra Flex Mascara</b>, on the more relaxed days, I will always grab my <b>Eyeko Fat Mascara</b> because well....I'll always love fiber mascara above all else.<br />
<br />
Last but not least, what days SPRING IS HEREEEE! more than <b>Barry M's Greenberry </b> polish? It has been a favourite since summer and you can see what it looks like on my nails in <a href="http://thetreasurechestt.blogspot.ro/2013/07/summer-color-alert-barry-m-greenberry.html">This post</a>.<br />
<br />
How's your face looking this weekend? And ladies, if there is sun where you are, enjoy it to the max!<br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">And add to that the fact that it's spring!</span></span></span><br />

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">Mind you, my everyday look isn't much different, it just implies extra eyeshadow and liner. I really do like to have as light a coverage as possible, even if at this point in almost spring, my face isn't the healthiest looking of things.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">The new discovery I'm VERY happy about is the <b>Elmiplant CC cream, </b>as it has just the amount of coverage I need, is very hydrating and is based on natural ingredients. I used to be a massive consumer of the Maybelline BB cream, but ever since learning they test on bunnies, they are dead to me.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">The new under-eye hero is <b>Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer.</b> I did not think I needed something this light, but it has proven me wrong. It really wakes your face up, especially since I was born with extra darkness around the eyes.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">A really new favourite is also from <b>Rimmel</b>, the <b>Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara</b>. I am a firm fiber mascara user, but I saw the word "flex" in this one and figured it would be different. It was indeed! Gives you the most insane lashes,while still not clumping or feeling heavy.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">For the cheeks, I've been reaching for <b>Benefit's PosieTint</b> ever so often. I've had it for a while but hadn't used it much. Seems now is the right time. And for the extra glow, I dab a bit of <b>Soap and Glory Glow All Out</b>. Those two combined, or even on their own, will make you look healthy and happy in no time!</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">Last but not least, my immense darling: <b>Inglot AMC matte lip pencil No. 14</b>. After years of searching for the perfect nude, I have found the perfect "your lips but better" nude.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: black;">It's almost unthinkable for me to not have this in my bag at all times.</span></span></span><br />

You heard me!<br />
The idea is to get more than 1002 women together (because that is the number of the previous record) and get them to put on a lovely red lipstick in celebration of Woman's Day at the same time.<br />

It will be happening in Iulius Mall, with lipsticks provided by Avon, on March 8th at 6pm.</div>

M.Strand is a handmade skincare brand that make soaps and creams,from what I had the pleasure to see. The amount of care that goes into making, packaging and decorating is simply brilliant and if for nothing else, just go by their stand to marvel at the beauty of it all. It's as if it is pulled straight out of a Hobbit movie, as it has that fairytale look about it all.<br />

<br />
The even better news is that they now even have a website, with web store at <a href="http://mstrand.co.uk/index.php">mstrand.co.uk</a> , but if you have the chance, trust me when I say it will be very worth it to see their stand in person.<br />

Yes! Dr Bronner's Magic Soap<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">When I moved into the new flat in London, I noticed a bit too late ( as you do ) that I was missing several household essentials. Now as I was pretty busy, I remembered hearing about this magical 18-in-1 product and since I am always looking for an excuse to run off to Whole Foods, I went ahead and picked up this beauty.</span><br />

<span style="clear: left; color: black; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzT9Q4-EaCTwIVVK7o5CyvMX_xv4ahOsA28PikcLBJTG5nWWGFCFhDO4rlHBmK3Rsqds4jA0zganIEIX7Dk8H-niRcLE_0tkMWHn1kD-vd__Li-mWNp9RATSJnpKdqTGznQD8byB6pbw8/s1600/drbronner.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></span></div>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><br /></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><br /></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><br /></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">Now the thing with this huge soap bottle is that it is fair trade, completely natural and basically only does you good.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">You can imagine I was needing a shower gel first and foremost, but without some sort of moisturiser, my skin usually doesn't operate too well. I was clearly a bit afraid since I was completely out of moisturiser and trying out a new shower gel. But to my complete relief, my skin did not only feel squeaky clean, it also did not feel dry at all.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">Apart from being a really good shower gel, I've had the pleasure to test various other uses it has.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">Obviously, I had no dishwashing soap nor laundry detergent, but lo and behold, listed among its 18 uses, those two were included!</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">And let me tell you, they actually wash dishes and clothes really well! I mean, you're probably as shocked reading this as I was washing the dishes.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><br /></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">Another really fantastic thing it does is get your makeup brushes squeaky clean, as well as clean your face when you want some extra cleansing after removing your makeup. Now this particular use, I wouldn't say is best tested every day. If you have a cleanser, use that one, but if you need something to get the job done, this is your guy. It probably works perfect on normal skin types, but my dry self needs a bit more hydration.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">I am also proud to report I've washed my hair with it ( I've tested it thoroughly guys!) and was very pleased with the results.I could see myself using it in summer on a more regular basis, but in winter, much like with my skin, I need to add some moisture and extra TLC.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><br /></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">Last but not least,they also say you can brush your teeth with this. Remember when I said I was thorough? Well, I was more curious than anything and I did that too. As far as cleaning, it cleans. In terms of taste...well it's like sucking on soap. Not too unexpected.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">I really did try it to satisfy my curiosity, but indeed I did not die intoxicated or anything, and so far, all that it says it does...it really does.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><br /></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">You can pick this up online at feelunique.com, at Whole Foods and I remember seeing it at &Other Stories too, but it was much too overpriced there, so I wouldn't recommend it.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">My almost 500ml bottle cost around 9 Pounds, and I think that's a pretty great investment.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><br /></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">Have any of you tried it?</span><br />

Now I don't want to brag, but babies are rarely this cuddly and I'll admit to spending the better part of my Saturday just staring at her and swooning.<br />

Ever since finding the lip shade I had been searching for (more or less) half of my life, I've concluded they are my kind of people. That's why, I overcame my fobia of shopping malls and went to the Westfield Mall on a fine day some weeks ago. This resulted in finally putting together my little Freedom Palette. If you're not familiar with the freedom system Inglot offers, it's very easy: you can pick out any eyeshadow, concealer or lipstick ( maybe even brow colours, not entirely sure on this one), mix, match and put them in one of these glorious magnetic palettes.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbpRvbdX-IS8pfgc3paFlW3LikzLsYKc5KQary4QsOR4SymxQfYYe4PBdkgKjQiHlJn67UZ45bQJoVEB3h3DJN3497JHkiVaShzbW4Wpxg9aqMDPOZyyqzF_Hez5ERzoHF7MEwPXltjrY/s1600/inglot2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbpRvbdX-IS8pfgc3paFlW3LikzLsYKc5KQary4QsOR4SymxQfYYe4PBdkgKjQiHlJn67UZ45bQJoVEB3h3DJN3497JHkiVaShzbW4Wpxg9aqMDPOZyyqzF_Hez5ERzoHF7MEwPXltjrY/s1600/inglot2.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So after realising I probably don't need 5 eyeshadows, I added a concealer and a lipstick.<br />
Let me start by saying that the middle eyeshadow colour, a matte taupe-ey brown, had been searched for for ages. But I was sure I would find it in the Inglot range.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo9IXKigbYssyNchxL5IkhewbswuG9LGKh2CwWetnh89Lrb-OrWPvPr9HP2k4jUAFliMxuf06WjOHPNGJk1yYoypVeW51C213OKvMxVWghMjRYxUCVRKOeA4DY3Y-UyQdD1YM8pMtJD_Q/s1600/inglot1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo9IXKigbYssyNchxL5IkhewbswuG9LGKh2CwWetnh89Lrb-OrWPvPr9HP2k4jUAFliMxuf06WjOHPNGJk1yYoypVeW51C213OKvMxVWghMjRYxUCVRKOeA4DY3Y-UyQdD1YM8pMtJD_Q/s1600/inglot1.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">The other eyeshadows are a copper shimmer that looks pretty fantastic on tanned skin, and a brown shimmer that works perfectly for me. I mean, you can go insane with these things and make all sorts of palettes for yourself. They come in 1-2-3-4-5-6 and I'm sure even 7 fillable spaces, if not more.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">This whole thing cost me around 28 Pounds if I remember well.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">You can put them together on their website or in-store. </span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><br /></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">Now the lipstick I will show you in a separate "look at how glorious this thing is" post. It is a pink nude that is just right. Looks very natural while complimenting the complexion. </span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">What I have to say is that even I, with my dry skin, find the concealer to be a slight bit too creamy. The coverage is fantastic though, and I may have picked the slightly wrong colour, since my first choice was sold out.</span><br />
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix"><br /></span>
<span class="PreviewMsgText visualIEFloatFix">But trust me, if I just have this palette with me, I am absolutely satisfied because it makes me look great in very few moves.</span><br />
