It's been a hella long time since I last published a post but - <b>BOOM</b> - I'm back, and better than ever. Seeing as it's <i>long time no speak</i>, how are you guys? I hope you're all doing fabulously well and having a great summer, even if the weather is slightly poo-ish (damn you British weather).. or not if you're somewhere warm (lucky sod).<br />
<br />
I can't really complain though as I've just come back from a relaxing girls holiday to Marbella, Spain. So prepare yourself as I've literally got a gazillion and one outfit posts to share with y'all. Apart from the obvious holiday outfits, I've also got some festival and evening wear ones.. all which will be coming at you left, right and centre over the next few weeks.<br />
<br />
In today's post I will be sharing the outfit I wore on my first evening out in Marbella. This beautiful two piece is from Zara, as are my block sandal heels. Besides the gorgeous and elegant detailing, this outfit is airy and lightweight - perfect for a warm summer's evening. I paired it with my favourite red lipstick: MAC's Lady Danger, to add a pop of colour to the look. What do you guys think? Are you a fan of two-pieces? If so, where's your go-to place to buy them?<br />

I hope you're all doing well and enjoyed your weekend. I'm sure you'll agree it's been quite a while since I last published a lengthy-ish blog post. On that note what
better way to get back into the swing of things than to tell you about
my recent trip to Paris. <br />
<br />
Despite its renowned tourist attractions, Paris was never a destination I
had any particular desire of visiting prior to my recent trip. In fact
I've never quite understood the fascination surrounding this city.
Although it's on average a 45-60 minutes flight from London, I've always wanted to venture further out into the world, and experience
places that are not overly parallel to my everyday life. What changed my
mind? Two words... Chris Brown.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago the girls and I met up at Bill's to discuss our upcoming summer holiday over a cup of coffee. Upon arrival my friend Yasman immediately
mentioned that she had just seen on Twitter that Chris Brown was about
to go on tour around Europe. Now as some of you may know, Chris Brown has been barred from the
U.K. since 2010, due to his altercation with Rihanna. After checking out his tour dates we discovered his concert in Paris conveniently fell on the weekend of the spring bank holiday meaning we could make a make a mini trip of it all.. and that's exactly what we did. Besides from livin' it up at Chris Brown's concert (which was amazing btw), and almost losing my
voice as a consequence, we also did a lot of sightseeing which I
captured below..<br />

Many have taken to whipping up their own homemade hair remedies whilst others have sworn off using heat. Although I am no hair expert, I am someone who has always been
conscious about looking after my curly locks and ensuring they're kept
healthy and vibrant. Thus, it seems only right that I share with you
some of my <i>hair</i>tastic tips.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1hYXu6gRiuxd77EIYR5_6uerr5RJUBOTxo95bJ0-Wg0Lf7NpLeZkcy87QvLfx8oAvzBnxWTGv3uSxT3UfWQ3fnjV6EGtfF8sUcfNCHr1w5oTJdcyWWH0GHPzAdXjwgHvLvcFiMUdUtmg/s1600/tumblr_m98oai5RJf1qh9td5o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1hYXu6gRiuxd77EIYR5_6uerr5RJUBOTxo95bJ0-Wg0Lf7NpLeZkcy87QvLfx8oAvzBnxWTGv3uSxT3UfWQ3fnjV6EGtfF8sUcfNCHr1w5oTJdcyWWH0GHPzAdXjwgHvLvcFiMUdUtmg/s1600/tumblr_m98oai5RJf1qh9td5o1_500.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Please bare in mind that although the majority of these tips are fairly generic, there are some which may not be particularly beneficial to you due to us all having different hair types, textures and patterns. For that reason I'd love for each and everyone of you to leave down one hair care tip that you swear by. Even if it's something that has already been mentioned, it would be great to see how common of a tip it is so don't be shy <b>:)</b><br />
<br />
<u><b>Tip #1</b></u><br />
Avoid over-washing your hair as it can dry it out and deprive it of its natural oils. I would recommend that you wash it every 2-3 days (a little longer if you have Afro-Caribbean hair). When washing your hair it is also important to remember that less is more when it comes to shampoo. The less shampoo you use, the more hydrated your hair will be and the longer it will grow without breaking.<i> A little goes a long way</i> is definitely the case here.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Tip #2</b></u><br />
When showering, apply conditioner to the ends of your hair and allow
it to sink in for at least one minute before washing it out. Avoid applying it
directly to your scalp or to the roots of your hair as doing so will only cause
it to become greasy. For those who are plagued by dry and brittle hair, try to condition
it even on the days when you skip shampoo or use a leave-in conditioner. I'd also recommend applying a deep-conditioning product once a week to restore and regenerate your hair's condition.<br />
<br />
Conditioner also doubles up as a great styling product
for curly hair. For instance, when it comes to tackling my mane I often tip my
head forward, and apply a generous amount to the ends of my hair in a
scrunching motion. This works best when my hair is ever so slightly wet as it
helps to define my curls and add that much needed nourishment. Very important as curly hair is
prone to dryness <b>:(</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQSX8rjF05EW8jgwLnXu6eEZob3hrjKhaVO9jo_YsljDtlVs3awkVf96gekTA_pf_0sqQp2rQfQkS-9BVjuVLzoae9tb05UEwsW4UzY-a-whc_khDSdmY_UYI0Qfj7pqgOXrYG0vEPUA4/s1600/a66409129eb9c61bc564437533774ffc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQSX8rjF05EW8jgwLnXu6eEZob3hrjKhaVO9jo_YsljDtlVs3awkVf96gekTA_pf_0sqQp2rQfQkS-9BVjuVLzoae9tb05UEwsW4UzY-a-whc_khDSdmY_UYI0Qfj7pqgOXrYG0vEPUA4/s320/a66409129eb9c61bc564437533774ffc.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<u><b>Tip #3</b></u><br />
This particular tip is something that many of you are
sure to struggle with as the majority use some form of heat at least a few
times a week, if not every day. The sheer thought of not doing so sends a slight
shiver down your spine. I get it! You can’t quite imagine facing your day
without carrying out what you consider to be a vital part of your hair styling
routine.
How many of you allow your hair to dry naturally? Not
many, huh! Try to give it a go every few washes, especially when the warmer
months are upon us as your hair will air dry much quicker than usual.
If you can’t bear to part ways with your hairdryer then simply set the blast to
a moderate heat. FYI, I straighten my hair about twice a year and I haven’t
used a hairdryer for about 12 or 13 years. YES! That friggin’ long. Instead,
when I first hop out of the shower I wrap my hair in a cotton t-shirt, soaking
up any excess water. I then apply my styling products (i.e. frizz-serum and curl
enhancing cream) and leave my hair to dry naturally. For those who are wondering, using a t-shirt instead of a towel will prevent your hair from breaking.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Tip #4</u></b><br />
Avoid using shampoos or conditioners containing parabans and sulfates as they can strip your hair of its natural oils. This is particularly essential for us curly haired ladies as our hair type is prone to dryness (boo!), meaning we have to ensure our locks are well hydrated. A few months ago I started using Palmer's Shea Formula Moisture Repair Curl <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=491607574&pid=uid7584-26047828-49">Shampoo</a> and <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=474244669&pid=uid7584-26047828-49">Conditioner</a> as they've been designed to define, elongate and nourish
curls. They're also great at taming frizz, curl shrinkage and breakage<br />
<br />

Alas! The end has come. I hope some of you have found these tips to be somewhat useful and will be incorporating them into your hair care routine. Do let me know if you'd like me to do a lot more of these posts, covering different topics, as I've got a lot more tips up my sleeve. Ha! Not trying to toot my own horn or anything but you know *flicks hair* <b>:P</b><br />

I never quite understood the fascination or excitement surrounding the different types of products available (i.e. cleansers, exfoliators and serums), and so my collection of the sort was fairly minimal. Besides from moisturising my face daily with Simple's Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser, I didn't have a facial skincare routine in place that I carried out on a regular basis. This was partly due to not realising the importance of it all as I've always had pretty good skin. Thus, I never felt there was a need for me to be extra attentive to it as it was never something I struggled with; my skin is almost always clear as I rarely get spots (let's hope I haven't jinxed myself). However, about a year ago the area around my eyes became quite dry and sensitive. It took several weeks, and the trailing of a gazillion products to get rid of the dry skin, and all of the itchiness and flakiness that came along with it.<br />
<br />
In a way it was a blessing in disguise as it's what kick-started off my skincare journey. Evidently, my collection of skincare products has definitely doubled, if not tripled, in size from what it was a year ago. I'm often on the lookout for new products so was rather intrigued when one of the lovely ladies at work mentioned the brand Skinclay. Skinclay is a newly founded brand who create natural face masks. It was established by the British model Alice Cornish who has impressively strutted her stuff on the catwalk for the likes of Jonathan Saunders, Tommy Hilfiger, Topshop and Rag & Bone.<br />

<br />
There are three face masks to choose from depending on your skin type including: <b><span style="color: red;">RED</span></b>; great for normal, dull or tired skin, <b>WHITE</b>; great for dry, ageing or sensitive skin, and <b><span style="color: #38761d;">GREEN</span></b>; great for oily, clogged or acne prone skin. I opted for the white clay mask as my skin can be quite sensitive and dry at the worst of times. If you're unsure about what skin type you have then head over to Skinclay's <a href="http://www.skinclay.co.uk/skin-guide.html">skin guide</a> where you can identify which description best describes your skin.<br />

A great thing about this product is that it's natural, chemical and preservative free. Each mask retails for the affordable price of £5 and are currently
stocked via Skinclay’s website. These will also soon be available to
purchase from Liberty so make sure you keep your eyes peeled. Furthermore, they're super easy and fun to use; simply add water to the powder form. Detailed instructions can be found below:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) Remove spatula and pour the sachet content into a small mixing bowl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Add three tablespoons of water into the mixing bowl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Stir the mixture until you have a smooth consistency (add more water if your mask is too thick).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) Apply your mask to a cleansed face and neck, avoiding the eye and mouth area. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5) Leave the mask on for approx. 10 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6) Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After following these instructions and using this product, my skin felt extremely soft and nourished. I
also noticed it really helped to enhance my natural complexion and did
not irritate my skin in the slightest. This is definitely a product I would use again, but also one that I would recommend to y'all.<br />
<br />
I''m also massively impressed with the packaging as it's fresh and
pleasing to the eye. I particularly like the font of the brand's name
and the selection of colours used. As bizarre as this may sound, this is of great importance to me as I'm a complete and utter sucker for packaging. Always have been,
always will be. So much so that I feel I'm more likely to enjoy using a
product if it appears that time and effort has gone into the packaging
of it. Who else agrees?<br />
<br />
Finally, make sure you head over to the <a href="http://www.skinclay.co.uk/">Skinclay</a> website for further information on this exciting new brand. Oh, and be be sure to remember that looking after your skin during your youth will contribute to younger looking skin in your older years <b>;)</b></div>

After trying these out for a reasonable amount of time I found there was the odd one or two not worth the hype, a bunch I thought were great and a few golden ones I now can't live without. In today's post I will be discussing one of the latter which is Elemis’ Anti-Ageing Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm.<br />

The worst thing about wearing make-up is having to remove it at the end
of the day. It's such a chore and often something I prolong doing until I'm just about ready to hop into bed. Up until two years ago I used to remove my
make-up with facial wipes as it was an easy, quick and inexpensive
method. I also wasn't really aware of the different types of make-up remover products available on the market (i.e. cleansing balms, facial lotions and micellar water). Thankfully, the blogging world rescued me at just the right time by introducing me to Elemis' Anti-Ageing Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm which has been raved about left, right and centre.<br />
<br />
<div>
This product is available to purchase from some of the UK’s leading
retailers such as <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=414286508&pid=uid7584-26047828-49">Debenhams</a>, <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=431551743&pid=uid7584-26047828-49">House of Fraser</a> and <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=414933467&pid=uid7584-26047828-49">John Lewis</a> for £39.50. Yes! It is a lot pricier than your usual make-up remover but I can assure you it's worth every penny. Hmm! Still not keen on the price? Well I'm hoping you'll be pleased to know my bargain hunting skills have proven worthy. Head over to <a href="http://www.allbeauty.com/productPaging.php?ref=%7Badtype%7D&utm_source=%7Badtype%7D&utm_medium=FREE&productId=1059254&currency=GBP&country=48&&gclid=CjwKEAiAws20BRCs-P-ssLbSlg4SJABbVcDpO9NUgoRAHoZU3wVQebRajFOapXSrpKpYHuoeOZYMvRoC2W_w_wcB">allbeauty.com</a> where you can purchase this product for the discounted price of £31.55 which equates to 20% off. They also provide free delivery on all orders over £15. Double kerching!<br />
<br />
I've had this product for approx. one year now. Although I do not use it everyday, more so every few days, I've only used a little over a quarter of it so far. I use this product by applying half a teaspoon size amount to my face; a little goes a long way. Using my fingertips I then massage the product into my skin, in circular motions, for about 40 seconds. I then remove the breakdown of my make-up with my cleansing cloth ensuring it's warm and damp before doing so. Finally, I apply a liberal amount of Garnier Micellar Water to one or two cotton pads and wipe away any remaining traces of make-up. The last step is optional as this product dissolves almost all traces of your make-up in one go but I like to ensure my face is thoroughly cleansed.<br />

A great thing about this product is that it's multi-functional; it can be used as a daily facial cleanser, an intensive and indulgent facial mask or by simply melting a scoop of this into your bath for a spot of relaxation. It’s also available in a <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=482718661&pid=uid7584-26047828-49">travel size</a> tub (20g) which is perfect to bring along with you when staying over at a friend’s, weekends away or jetting off on holiday. Furthermore, it feels extremely luxurious on the skin and smells divine.<br />
<br />
Have any of you tried this product? If so, what are your thoughts? If not, what do you use to remove your make-up? I'd also love to know if you guys enjoy reading these type of posts. If so, let me know in the comment box below so that I can produce similar content on a more regular basis.</div>

Another year done, and dusted. I pray 2016 is a
prosperous and happy one for us all, filled with love,
happiness, good health and success (*<b>sending you lots of positive energy and vibes</b>*). <br />
<br />

Like every year 2015 was filled with a healthy mixture of ups and downs, all of which I am extremely grateful for. These experiences enabled me to learn a great deal more about myself and strengthened my desire for certain things. All in all it was a rather chilled and relaxing year <b>:)</b><br />
<br />
Although I don't believe you should wait for the arrival of a new year to change something (why wait? Don't use that foolishness of an excuse to prolong the desired change), I've written down some of the things I hope to achieve, experience and put into practice in 2016:<br />
<br />
- Pass my driving test<br />
- Make full use of my 2016 diary <br />
- Join the gym and keep at it<br />
- Cook more often<br />
- Go strawberry picking<br />
- Wake up earlier<br />
- Drink more water<br />
- Continue to de-clutter my room<br />
- Volunteer at a homeless shelter over the Christmas period<br />
- Be more proactive towards my career path<br />
- Take vitamins daily<br />
- Go on holiday with friends <br />
- Curse less<br />
- Read more books<br />
- Spend less; save more<br />
- Discover an array of new restaurants to eat out at<br />
- Be more consistent with my blog and YouTube channel<br />
- Take my dad out for dinner<br />
- Spend time with my family and friends<br />
- Sleep earlier <br />
- Make myself packed lunch for work <br />
<br />
What are you hoping to achieve or experience this year? <br />

In today's post I've put together a selection of goodies that I think will make fabulous Secret Santa gifts for him. All items are £10 and under and can currently be found on the high-street or on online. Two of these products are currently reduced so do keep in mind that at
the time of you viewing or purchasing, these might return to its
original price. Happy shopping!<br />

I for one find this to be quite annoying so allow me to apologise in advance for once again expressing my surprise at how quickly this year has gone by. December has certainly come around a lot faster than I had anticipated. This is a thought shared by several of my work colleagues and friends who are overcome with festivity and a pinch of stress. The latter being caused by the fact that Christmas is in exactly 20 days and they're nowhere near to being done with their present buying.<br />
<br />
Sensing that some of you are also stressed by this, I've decided to dedicate this month to helping y'all out, so fret your festive seasoned socks not. Over the next three weeks I'll be providing you guys with lots of ideas for stocking fillers, his and hers and
Secret Santa gifts. In today's post I've put together a selection of goodies that I think
will make fabulous Secret Santa gifts for her. All are £10 and under and can
currently be found on the high-street or on online. Happy shopping!<br />

For a lot of women that's very much the case. For me that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm the type of woman who treasures and finds happiness in the simplest of things. One of those things being lipsticks.<br />
<b><br /></b>
MAC is my favourite brand when it comes to lipsticks as they have a wide variety of shades in many different formulas. Currently, I have twenty-nine of these in my collection. Eek! Do I plan on stopping there? Hell to the no. Some of you will probably think that's a tad obsessive but everyone has something, or a few things in my case, that they cannot help but buy. For instance, guys usually have quite a collection of video games, trainers and comic books. I have a thing for lipsticks, lingerie, jewellery, evening-wear dresses and high-heels. What can I say, I just can't help myself.<br />
<br />
In today's post I'll be sharing swatches and a brief description of five of my favourite, go-to MAC lipsticks. These are all part of MAC's core collection so are all readily available to purchase. Let's begin.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOJkestIISMn4kbroEDto0gPP_4wZ54d_5CFcxp3dnnwb7cju9M3DGr3Qt4UYeQbXIQi8Yhzw6BUikph22X4QBGc4QggN9nJXTwk3nirbu3GZaJXbkWreXd7e7v2io96y88i9HSfszgcg/s1600/95.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOJkestIISMn4kbroEDto0gPP_4wZ54d_5CFcxp3dnnwb7cju9M3DGr3Qt4UYeQbXIQi8Yhzw6BUikph22X4QBGc4QggN9nJXTwk3nirbu3GZaJXbkWreXd7e7v2io96y88i9HSfszgcg/s640/95.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Lady Danger</span></b><br />
<u>Colour: </u>Vivid bright coral-red<br />
<u>Finish:</u> Matte<br />
<u>Description:</u>
Although red isn't a shade I gravitate towards very often, it's a
classic colour that every woman needs to have in her collection. The red
MAC lipsticks I have are Lady Danger, Diva,
Ruby Woo and Russian Red. Lady Danger is by far my favourite as it's
bold, vibrant and head-turning. The only downside to this lipstick is
that it tends to dry out my lips an hour to two after application.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Mehr</b></span><br />
<u>Colour:</u> Dirty blue pink<br />
<u>Finish:</u> Matte<br />
<u>Description:</u> Despite having this shade for the longest time, I never get bored of it so carry it around with me in my bag for those <i>just in case I need to spruce myself up</i> moments. I love it! It stays put on my lips for a good few hours and doesn't require for me to use a lip liner prior to applying it. I've actually written an in-depth review on this product so click <a href="http://thefashion-junkie.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/product-review-mehr-mac-lipstick.html">here</a> if you'd like to read it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Faux</span></b><br />
<u>Colour:</u> Muted mauve-pink<br />
<u>Finish:</u> Satin<br />
<u>Description:</u> Hands down, this is the perfect nude lipstick as it creates that <i>your lips but better</i> look without drying them out. It's super creamy,
glides on effortlessly and lasts for a good few hours. I feel that this will also compliment all skin tones.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Velvet Teddy</span></b><br />
<u>Colour:</u> Deep-tone beige<br />
<u>Finish:</u> Matte<br />
<u>Description:</u> Word on the street was that this was the reason behind Kylie Jenner's all of a sudden big lips. Psh! Who was she trying to fool? Ha! In actual fact she fooled a lot of you as this then went on to completely sell out both in store and online for months. I waited a long time before playing up to the hype as I was a little worried that this shade was going to completely wash me out. Thankfully, it doesn't. It's a gorgeous light brown shade that stays put for absolutely ages.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Whirl</b></span><br />
<u>Colour:</u> Dirty rose<br />
<u>Finish:</u> Matte<br />
<u>Description:</u> This is a gorgeous medium-dark brown shade and is the most recent addition to my growing collection. Initially, this shade was only available in a lip pencil and was also part of the craze surrounding Kylie Jenner's lip transformation; Kylie mentioned this is one of her go-to lip products. Since then is has recently been introduced to MAC's core lipstick collection.<br />
<br />
Do you own any of these shades? If so, what are you thoughts and if not, what's your favourite shade(s)? I'd love to know as I'm always looking to add to my collection.<b> </b>FYI, I'm currently lusting after Stone and Retro<b> :)</b><br />

I was recently invited to take part in a fashion challenge by the international fashion website <a href="http://www.farfetch.com/uk/shopping/women/items.aspx">Farfetch</a>. The aim of the competition is to create an outfit that is stylish and suitable for the upcoming festive holiday season. This was lots of fun to create as I usually put together outfits featuring high-street brands opposed to luxury ones. Featured below is my entry for this competition. I opted for quite an elegant outfit that has a subtle hint of mysteriousness and grunge. I tried not to choose anything that was too cliché (i.e. a red dress or gold jewellery) as I didn't want my outfit to be a predictable choice for the festive season. I wanted it to stand out from the crowd opposed to blending in. After all, these are the outfits that people tend to remember the most.<br />
<br />
Please note that all items featured below are currently available to view or purchase on the Farfetch website. What do you guys think? Is this something you'd wear? <b>:)</b><br />

I hope you all had a lovely weekend doing whatever it was you were doing. Hmm! Is it still acceptable to ask about your weekend now that it's Wednesday? (*scratches head hesitantly*) Oh well! I'm sure a lot of you had fun spooking it up on Saturday evening with it being Halloween and all. For those interested (not many I'm sure), I did the very opposite and spent my evening at
home in my pjs. Oh, the fun.<br />
<br />
Now that the greeting is out of the way, let's get down to some serious skincare business. I'm back today with a review on one of my go-to skincare products, <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=190526533&pid=uid7584-26047828-49&pid=uid7584-26047828-49">Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream</a>.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Elizabeth Arden is a brand I've practically grown up with as my mum used to have quite a few of their fragrances; my favourite being <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=279796272&pid=uid7584-26047828-49&pid=uid7584-26047828-49">Sunflowers</a> which smells lovely. However, it was only a year or two ago that I became a lot more familiar with their extensive line of skincare products. Thank fudge as my lips are prone to drying out and cracking especially come autumn and winter. I've tried to prevent this from happening by using an array of products, from several different brands, including Blistex, Carmex, Chapstick, Nivea and Vaseline. You name it, I've tried it. Unfortunately, none of these led to any long-lasting effects meaning I was always on the lookout for something new, and something better. That was until I discovered this little gem.<br />
<br />
This product comes in a 50ml tube, available in a fragrance-free version and can be used to do the following: "<i>shape brows, revitalize shine, soothe dry hands and smooth cuticles and nails. Also for symptoms of chapping, peeling or flaking due to minor burns, sunburn, windburn, scrapes, abrasions or cracked lips</i>". It also has an expiration date of 36 months which is almost unheard of in the life of a cosmetic or skincare product.<br />

It's available from several different retailers both in-store and online. The price of it does vary depending on where you purchase it from. For instance, it usually retails for £26, as seen on the Elizabeth Arden, Boots, John Lewis and Debenhams website, but I've found it for less than half of that price (£11.65 to be exact) on <a href="http://www.allbeauty.com/productPaging.php?ref=%7Badtype%7D&utm_source=%7Badtype%7D&utm_medium=FREE&productId=5736&currency=GBP&country=48&&gclid=Cj0KEQjwqsyxBRCIxtminsmwkMABEiQAzL34PRjmReWVunlfrveeUWVNdWKrXFhU9aPMF4i7eHBATxEaAl7Z8P8HAQ">allbeauty.com</a>. This just happens to be one of my favourite websites ever as their prices are literally unbeatable. Kerching! Y'all can thank me later <b>:)</b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
For those who are still not keen on the price, keep in mind that I've had mine for six months now and there's still plenty of product left despite me applying a liberal amount, a few times a day. Overall, I feel it does a great job at ensuring my lips are kept moisturised and hydrated. Not surprising as this product was first created in 1930 and has been a success ever since. Need I say more?<br />

Autumn has unwelcoming-ly blown into our lives bringing coming months of cold days, and even colder nights. Although there's <s>little</s> nothing we can do about this, other than dress in accordance to the weather (hello layering), we can certainly take charge as to how fashionably well we do this.<br />
<br />
To assist you ladies in doing so, I've put together an '<i>AW15 Fashion Trends</i>' blog post series which illustrates some of the hottest fashion trends around. The first instalment of this series focused on the 70s which you can have a read about <a href="http://thefashion-junkie.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/aw15-fashion-trend-1.html">here</a>. In today's instalment I will be briefly discussing this season's obsession with velvet. Oh and when I say briefly, I mean briefly. Hmm! I just don't feel as if there's much for me to elaborate on when it comes to this particular trend. Now that's a first as I usually always have so much to say. Nonetheless, I'm going to try to be as informative as I possibly can in the shortest but sweetest type of way. Here I go...<br />
<br />
If you're someone who follows fashion quite closely you'd have noticed that velvet has slowly been creeping up on us, season by season. Despite all of this effort it's never quite made it is as a key seasonal trend, until now that is. Evidently, AW15 has seen the likes of Alexander Wang, Burberry, Christopher Kane, House of Holland and Mary Katrantzou incorporate this super soft fabric into their AW15 RTW collections. Featured below are some of my favourite looks from their catwalk shows.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEyo4m8l8YzYs21X_Pb8s2RlNY4ftWadPO4DZ3WolcTH6efq-jTGwpFIMzqhZX0O72OHL6UUd3SMe8vbCWX9civtqRy56OdagZbaZGv-kK0RWxNEdJoBZL4podFzTGCwiItmwWl98Dgoc/s640/Presentation1.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<br />
The majority of trends are usually centred around styles (i.e.
monochrome, the 70s and sports luxe) opposed to fabrics. However, this
is quite the opposite for AW15 as the high-street stores are
flowing with an array of fabrics including corduroy, fur, leather, suede
and velvet. Yes! This season it's ALL about fabrics. After all, how many of you sought high and low, in one shop and out another, to find the perfect denim button A-Line skirt or a pair of fitted leather trousers? Ah! Quite a few of you I see. Not at all surprising as both of these statement pieces were made desirable simply because of the composition of them. For instance, this season ladies are opting for a suede or corduroy version instead as it's on trend.<br />
<br />
What's your favourite fabric? Do you like velvet? Personally, I once considered it to be a fabric
that was best suited to either a child or someone a lot more mature in
age. I'm not entirely sure why, I guess I just didn't think of it as
being very fashionable. Has anyone else had that thought? Although I'm
not completely head over heels in love with it, I'm slowly growing fond
of it having recently picked up a black velvet embroidered cardigan from
Rokit. It's gorgeous and was only £7. Bargain!<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><b>#FashionTrendFact:</b></span> Just like faux fur, velvet is better suited to this time of year. The
texture, softness and warm essence of the fabric compliments the chilly autumnal
days perfectly.</li>
<li><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><b>#FashionTrendTip:<span style="background-color: white;"></span></b></span> Textures are a great way of adding some character and dimension to an outfit. It's also quite fun to stroke (LOL).</li>
</ul>
<br />
Below is a selection of my favourite velvet finds from the high-street and
online stores, all of which are currently available to purchase. What
are you favourite pieces? Mine has to be the bib front dress and love heel courts ♥ <br />
